No appetite, merit sweats, severe couch and loss of flesh. The best physicians of Poultney, Ver mont, advised an immediate departure South. We reached Asheville November 17th, and com menced taking treatment of Drs. Kurgan and Gatchelh inhaling Compound Oxygen and Bal sam Vapor. My wife has improved rapidly lrom the first. Her appetite is good, sleeps well, coughs bnt little, raises lesi, night sweats ceased; no pain anywhere, takes long walks and climbs the mountains with little fatigue and has gained 8 lbs. in weight. We feel certain another month's treatment will affect a permanent cure. Ai for myself I am delighted to state that I improved tepidly from the first treatment and am nearly veil.

It is light and breezy in tone, tne scene being laid neai the seashore at what is supposed to be the fam ous resort of "Winkle-borough-on-Sands." The characters are a lot of clever people who, through the erratic love-makings of a certain "Mr. Middlemark," with whom marriage is a vocation are thrown into a round of situa tions, utterly absurd and at vari ance with their supposed real feelings. Everything pertaining to the costuming and scenery of the play is in competent hands; and no pains will be spared in secur ing the proper effect. - She price of admission hat been hxed at the ow rate of 50 cents, with no extra charges for reserved seats.

We would invite special attention to the card of Mr. F. W. Vesey, a horticulturist of skill and experi ence. He proposes to do just what many in this section want done. Many persons, for lack of time, or skill, hesitate to plant vineyards or orcnards, though wen assured ot the fruit and pleasure to be derived from them, in this section of coun try, so well adapted to successful fruit culture: We think our readers will not be slow in securing these advantages through Mr. Vesey's service.

The Machinery Ordered, and Work - to Begin at Once. The machinery with which to operate the street railway system in this city has been ordered. It consists of one seventy-five horse power engine, and a hundred horse-power boiler, besides an extra dynamo and other elecrical adjuncts. The irons, ties, - and everything else connected with the building of the system has been ordered; all contracts made, signed, sealed and deliv ered, and work will at once be begun in its construction. There has been no end of extravagant talk, promises, and speculation regarding the building of the Asheville street railway system, aiid it was owing- simply ta these kind of things that the people of our city lost faith in the scheme, and regarded all allusions to the perfection as "chestnuts" of a most venerable order. Time and time again different parties have applied to the city council for xanchises special and general, or the building of the road, and each time as emphatically prom ised that the same would be built in thirty days, sixty days, or six months, as the case might be. But in neither instance was a stroke of work begun upon the proposed line, and the entire thingjwore theaspect ofa specula tion. How true this mav have been, we know not, but one thing is certain, the road was not built, nor no attempt at its building was made. The new company with president W. Talbot Penni man at its head, has taken the only genuine and assured steps towards building the line, and the company and the people of Ashe ville are to be congratulated upon the bright prospects of its early completion. A street rail way system, as projected by the company, will earnestly be- ieve, pay handsomely, and be of untold benefit to the city, and believing thus, we are heartily willing to lend our co-operation towards establishing confidence in and - bespeaking support for. the new and long needed enter prise, 7 The Fireman'e Tournament I'OBt- -. poned.

In the House on the 17tb, when the riff bill was under consideration, the following proceedings were had, as taken from the Congretsional Record : Mb. Johnston, of North Carolina. I wish to offer an amendment to the amend ment of the Ksntlenmn from Virginia. ihe vIIAirman. The clerk will renort the amendment anbuvUeil by the gentle man r ora rvorlli Carolina.Mr. Johnston to the amendmetit of the gentle-man from Virginia. The clerk reads as follows : A.'t. r the word "cigarettes" insert "and all irl ureal taxes on spititadiKtilled from grain or fruu of any kind." Mr. Jchnhton. of North Carolina. Mr. Chairman, the effect of this amendment which.I have offered to the amendment of the gentleman from Virginia will be to extend the repeal of the internal rev enue law beyond the tobacco tax and to include the tax on whisky and brandy. I offer this proposition for the purpose of willing rrom tne sraiute-DOoa tne law which imposes internal revenue tax on all spirits distilled from grain or fruit. I have heard a great deal said on this floor about 'free whisky" and "free brandy," and recently the representatives of the republican party assembled in Chicago pretended to be in favor of the renpal of the internal revenue law. I desire to see the Republicans as well as Democrats, vote upon tLat question here to-day. What I desire is not onlv free whinW and free brandy, but I wish more to see my people freed from the oppressions of a system spoken of by my friend from Virginia which imposes upon them al most a military surveillance. (jrenuemen who live in the mountain sections of this country know that we are constantly subjected to the most annoying kind of irritations in the execu tion ot this law. It is a law which was put upon the statute-book durinc a period of war, and its framers had no regard ap parently to me eneci it mignt nave upon the civil liberties of the people; they relied upon the patriotism of the country to submit to a ststem during the con tinuance of a great war; and that reliance was well met- At that time tbe oppres sive features attending the execution of the law were less thcuebt of than the object of raising revenue. But we have long since reached a time of peace, and all parties declare in favor of takins from the statute-book every thing partaking of war legislation. Mow, if there is any thine which is essentially a war measure, this system of internal revenue taxation is one, and I desire to see it wiped from the statute book, b cause I wish to see my people relieved from tbe exactions and oppres sions i riposed upon tbem in connection with the enforcement of this taxation during the last twenty-five years. Just think of it. Mr. Chairman. A Federal court organized by the Govern ment, witu an the dignity which a Fed eral court ought to have, sitting in judg ment on a poor man charged with selling a half pint of liquor, and dragging him perhaps two or three hundred miles from his helpless 1 roily for the purpose of trying him for such frivolous offenses. Why, sir, such a thing reflects Bhame up on the jurisdiction of tbe courts of the United States, and detracts from the high standing they should have among the. people Proceedings of that kind would better become the jurisdiction of M jnJice ot tne peace. ? . rvir. rvKRR. n wig iae ox tne House will yote with you to repeal the internal taxation, will you vote the Republican ucset f daughter. J Mr. Johnston, of North Carolina. I hope my friend from Iowa Mr. Kerr will "ask me something hard." I want Republicans and Democrats to unite here in repealing the obnoxious law. I want to blot it out because it has done so much to excite tbe animosities of the people all through the country, and has been tue instrument of more suffering to those who are least able to bear it than any other statute I know of. Besides it fosters a system of espionage and harsh ti calmer. t which is obnoxious to all ideas of .ree government. It has done more to engender bad feeling in communities, to encourage false swearing, to sap the very manhood lrom our people, to teach them to regard the Government as op pressive toward tbe citizens than all other laws.. Let us eliminate from the statute book of this great country every vertigo of the unfortunate Btrife we have passed through, so that "peace and good will" shall prevail throughout its entire length and breadth. Why, sir, so far as concerns the section of the country from which I come, many of the citizens there scarcely know this Government, except bv the exactions visited upon them under this law. They know the Government only through the army of omcers-eont, as my friend from Virginia has said, with carbines and cartridge boxes for the purpose of arrest ins them, I want to see this country. especially my section of it, governed through tome other means.
