Murray, we took the Asheville and Spartanburg railroad for Busbee. Station, seven miles south of Asheviie, at which is the old Murrey homestead. Bufbee Station isabout two miles distant from the summit of Busuee Moun i in; a prominent point in the land tcani as ei-en. -from Afheville, con spicuous from l-eiiiif ..thr : V rmiiial peak f .'it; -tar-pit' whiv.h rounds from ':: . :(' the Sftumia noa U.f;, ;.' . l-Sii'. 00i-'.-V (I t the it is valley ofy u..

Bfltebee built his cabin and planted . H.s little fields long before the county of Buncombe was formed from the wilderness. Why he pitched his tents at Buch an elevation was explained to us to be a measure of precaution. His high perch waB a watch tower, from which he could look over the whole country below him, and se cure himself against the approach of hostile Indians. These he could detect, because, in those days, the giound now, or afterwards, covered with heavy timber, was then open and covered with grass, trees being scattered only thinly here and there. Busbee died, apparently without de scendants, but his name ia properly perpetuated in the mountain, the postoffice, and now the railroad flag station. x fhe postoffice itself is an old one; for the situation has long had local importance. In the very earliest settlement of the country, the first road cut through the wilderness from beyond the mountains in the direction of Tennessee and Ken tucky passed by it ; and the traces of the old path over which hundreds of thousands ot hogs, horses, mules and other animals made their an nual journeys into the low coun tries, are still to be found. The Mills Gap road, as it is called, is still the great thoroughfare between Asheville and the counties of Polk and Rutherfdrd, leaving the Hen dersonville road, now the chief dirt rowl, which owe3 its existence to the nhmk road from Asheville to llenaer- sonville, built about 1855, and long since gathered to its fathers and forgotten About the Busbee station, the countrv is characterized by a series ot low-lying valleys with gently un duiiitina.sttrtace, and brightened with frequent spartiiing nine streams margined with meadows; and the whole is set in a frame work of wooded hills rising gradually to the dignity of mountains, biending in very close proximity the widest contrasts of scenery and the most, charming combinations of land scape. Mesuea aown amou uuuue trees and apple orchards ana nang ic yines is the comfortable hospita ble house of Mr. W. R. Murray, his bnmA fnr riparlv sixty vea'rs, and associated with a happy and rea sonably prosperous lite, now ap proaching his 84th birthday, cheer ful, intelligent, and physically ac tive; for he accompanied us in all ojr climbs and rambles, and getting over rough forces with an ease that nut ua to shame. Just west ot tne nouse, oegins a beautiful meadow, extending, after being bi-sected by the Henderson ville road, a long way down the stream which rises in the upper nart. This stream is the creation of numerous bold springs, some free stone, most of them mineral. Of the first we drank from one which, we are free to Bay, is the best water we ever drank, light, sweet and cold, and tempting to numerous libations. . . . . . . , Wo tasted ana tesiea two mineral BDrines in stone throw of the first, which muBt possess very vaiuaDie mineral Qualities, and which have full confidence ot the neignDornooa lor miles around. One of these has been analyzed, and contains iron, sulnhur. soda, magnesia and alum Another, not yet analyzed, has even stroneer mineral qualities than this. One spring bursts out ot tne living rock in strong current ; anotner, with eauallv strong current ia en cased in oak plank. V The water of both is cold, ana wnue strongly mineral in taste, is pleasant to drink. Undoubtedly, it there be any virtue in mineral springs at all, these must have nne curative prop' erties ; and we think the day i3 not far off when the Busbee Springs will have a widespread fame and well established reputation. V But these under present circum stances cannot be attained. Mr. Murray cannot accommodate visi tors in any numbers, if he can do so at all. A good hotel, with accommoda tion for a hundred or more guests, could be erected at small expense and with the abundance of supplies to be raised on the farm or obtained in the neighborhood, such hotel could be profitable at moderate charges to guests. A site, : immedi atelv on the railroad, or the borders of a ".magnificent body of native lorest, and within a short distance ofthe epriogs,presenta itself to us as the fist- choice. Thera are other sites equally as favorable.- Within seven miles of i-heville, and reached by a good dirt road, drives from the city would be as easy and as popular as they now are to the Sulphur bprinss or to Arden Parte The project is one to commend itself to capitalists, aa it would add to the number of sanitary resorts, and wo aid develop a series of mineral springs of undoubted efficacy, en surmg a wide and enduring patron age. .l 1 he location ia a beautiful one combining all that is mild and soft inNr-enery with access to the com mand of all that is grand and beau tiful in landscape. A ramble of fif teen or twenty minutes end3 on the summit tf low mountain top from which i? one of the most extensive prospect.' to l3 seen in the county; and a ride cr walk to the top of Busbee, two miles a.vjy, opens up a wide view that has few equals in North Carolina the whole range of the B nek Mountain?, the Cmggy Mountains tho B!u.'

A ramble in the afternoon '. M;k us up Murray Mountain to a clearing high up on the side, of about ten grass. (tejJXb locked out from the woods, little . wtTy"tn3i&.calti vted this year in corn toe ground rs very ricn. from me fine exposure, Dr. Blake, to whom the land belongs, has appropriated it to grape3, peaches and apples, all of young growth and just beginning to bear. The vineyard has " now about 500 vines, of assorted varie ties, and is doing well. The peach trees are bearing, and the fruit is large and fine ; the apple trees are too young to bear. Thn venture is a promising one. The management of the orchard and vineyard is un der, the charge of Mr. Murray, a most skilful orchardist. A walk up the Mills Gap road brought us to two more fine mineral springs; but we have given as much space as we can spare to a very pleasant subject; a brief record of a day yery pleasantly spent in tbe country. Another North Carolina Man in IjOS Angeles. The Los Angeles Commercial Bul letin notes the formation of a new partnership in the citj to carry on a wholesale grocery business. One of the associates of the house Howell & Craig is R. H. Howell, a brother of Mr. Alden Howell, of Waynesville. Mr. H. was until recently a resident of Shreveport, La., and upon his departure from that place for California, a Shreves port paper speaks of him thus handsomely : "On this mornirg's train Mr. R. H. Howell, so long and so well known as a leading and enterprising merchant and citizen of this city, leaves for Los Angeles, Cal., where he will engage in the wholesale gro cery business. From the year 1871 to the present date" "Bob" Howell has been constantly ei ca utile pursuits in Shreveport, and everywhere throughout North Louis iana, Ea&t Texas and Southern Ar kansas, his name is a synonym lor enterprise, for energy, for fair deal ing, and for the highejt business in tegrity. Indeed, wo know of no man who will be more sadly missed, for he h.u: ;;ecn a citizen of whom any place might well ' be proud. There has been no move for the ad vancement of this city and section in which he has not taken an active and intelligent interest. For several years he represented ins ward in the city council, where he displayed the same rice administrative quali ties that has tnaao him a power in commercial circles." How is This for Asheville. A manufacturing company to start an enterprise which involves the investment of very many thou sands of dollars, a few days ago paid one thousand dollars per acre for several acres of land in the south em suburbs of this city, upon which to locate their . works. This is the way our city grows; slowly but Bub- stanuilly. this enterprise will in volve the investment of over one hundred thousand dollars, and will be oneof the permanent institutions of the city and of great good to the section. The fact that the capital ists did not hesitate to pay one thousand dollars per acre for this particular spot, comprising over eleven acres wanted, indicates the purpose ol capital to u itself in this locality. Asheville must and wnl grow: sensible men who have money and who have sense ' iiougn to use it do not hesitate to u e it here in Asheville. . Over Four Hundred. From the Washington correspondence of the Durham Tobacco Plant, we clip the fallowing paragraph relating to the ener getic, live and go-ahead Democratic representative from this district : . - "Col. Tom Johnston will gi home in a few days. He has done good work for his constituents this winter. The num ber of postoffices in his (jistiict was two nunarea ana seventy-nve wnen ne came here. lie has increased that number to over four hundred. - The Asheville public building bill is another important measure due to ms -tact, energy ana ability." ritOIIIBITION CXUB.

Waddell in Asheville Next Monday. On neTAg-orjii&j this distiu gtushed lHrth" Oarolinmn'wiii address the people of Buncombe on the issues of,the day. Col. Waddell is one of the most elo quent orators, and strongest de baters of the South, and we hope all Buncombe will be out to hear him. He will talk plain, honest, common sense to his fellow citi zens, and will present the issues of the campaign in a fair, intelli gent manner so all can readily understand. Give Mr. Waddell an immense audience. Mr. Thomas B. Hill. A most estimable gentleman and excellent citizen of Hillsboro, died recently at that place at the age of 75 years. He was widely known through East ern Carolina as a man of fine culture, good business habits, amiable disposition and pro nounced ana active Christian vir tues. He was a native of Hali fax county and was a large plan ter on the Roanoke river. Many years ago he changed his invest ments, and retired to live in Hills boro a life of quiet usefulness. He married in Newbern, Miss Simpson, a sister of the wife of Judge Manly. The Future of J Asheville. That the future of Asheville is as sured is indicated by bids freely and readily offered for the new sewerage bonds. Several bids have been re-, cieved just a fraction under par, from capitalists in sections net heretofore supposed to be interested in this di rection. These bonds will not be sold for less than par ; and being a six-per cent bond, and as eood as rype more tuan United States i per. WIX bonds. Asheville, for the amount of its debt and its promptness is as good as the whole United States can be, Tilt lll'dl -vin for the city could be sued and com pelled to pay while the United States could not be except at the end of a musket and we would like to see the ignorant son-of-a-gun who would try to force the United States to do anything at the point of a musket. Just as the United States are not re quired to do anything, per force, so the city of Asheville will not be; and any bond the latter may issue will be, not only aa good as gold, but, ac cording to interest paid, much better. 1 he bonds will soon be taken, and our sewerage works will soon be a "joy forever."
