A different class of labor is employed, and, as a rule, it is better satisfied with its lot and condi tion.

The North is evidently realising that the South is in a state of development needing money and it proposes to fur nish the money, the expectation of handsome returns being almost certain. It is our part. and duty, therefore, to see that these Greeks bearing gifts, whom we welcome, shall not get all that the land promises, but that some proportion of it may be retained for ourselvos and for our children.

The county convenvion acted very ap-. propriatcjly yesterday in unanimously endorsing the fitness of tbe Hon. D O.

We trust this wish, of the democrats of Wake may be carried out, and as speedily as pos sible. No effort should be spared o make Judge Fowle's eminent qualifica tions for the place we seek for him' ap pear to the country's executive. Our distinguished fellow-citisen would not only reflect credit on his State from the oolioitorship-general, but would render most valuable service to the country at large. The President would only con tinue strongly in the line of his well doing by nominating him to the Senate A correspondent speaking elsewhere in this issue of this matter, holds rightly that our delegation in Congress should oertainly have as much influence as the delegation from our sister State of South Carolina and should therefore be able to secure this appointment so eminently proper in itself to be made. 1HJE HOMUtaTIOBT OF Mm. HEKftlHOal , roa judge. -: kmmt rata. In. I (BY A OrNTLXMAN OT KJlLFIQU.) fii tbo latter part of November, l?8i, we were visiting Naples. We bought a ticket for twenty franas (four dollars) , for "up Vesuvius -to the crater. We went in open carriages. , Starting very early in tho morning the air was quite cold, so that overcoats and shawls were needed. We Boon passed along the bay of Naples, on the western ede;e of the city, a distance of several miluv, to the gato of thecity, and drove through the town of Rosina, built exactly over ancient Herculanaeum, which lies buried eighty feet beneath 4he 1-va rock. Our road was in places 6ver the hollow rock lava which sounded very mnch as our granite does where it lies in horizontal layors when driven over by vehicles. Wc are ascending so gradually that we do not seem to be: going upwards. We pass over very rioh land, composed of the decomposed lava rock; fig sud olive trees everywhere abound, whilo grape vines cover sll the lower moun tain sido. It bcem! so strange to us that the land is not covered with wheat and uia'ze in their stead. Thcso ;row well everywhere in ltaly and it would appear that tho 'dense population could subsist better on bread than on wine, figs and olivet". But experience hss taught differently. Wine is here a neces- Hurv food to the laborer, and tho oil of tho olive is used in the place of meat, lard and butter. Tub grspos, with bread and wine, furnish the laborer u (substantial meal for tbe heaviest work. email nouses dot tne roau side as we con tin uo our iouruev, and we do not always seem to be approaching the mountain, which shoots up in a distant cone, far off to our right, some 4,300 feet above, the sea at its base. There ure two mountains, as if some great convul sion of nature had tqrn the original ele vation asunder. The right hand peak of the two is Vesuvius, from which is sues a column of smoke and steam, ap parently as high from tho top . of the mountain to the cloud above it, as from the crater to the bay beneath. Nearly two miles high floats this cloud.Jormod from the mountain r cases. A here are few other natural clouds in sight, and as we compare them, there is. no appa- renqdifferenoe in shape, color, or density This cloud floats to the south-east in i long streamer, the wind being from the north-west, and is perhapB forty or fifty miles in length.

Imagine eight carriages, all climbing Vesuvius on a bright oold morning, too cold to be comfortable unless Well wrapped up, (and the farther we ascend the colder it becomes), the sun not over two hours high, to the sound of sweet music. The guitarist (i Bbould know hia even now should I see hub) was a fine looking man of thirty years, with clean shaven face except for a magnificent mousttcbe, well dressed, his countenance I flushed with wine and song. He had j the happiest expression I ever saw on a human face, deroid of care or a thought of tomor row. He certainly obeyed the ir junc tions "take no thought for tomorrow" and "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." He seemed perfectly nappy whilst he sang and played, and surely thought that God would clothe and feed him like the sparrows, j He neither "sowed nor spun," but only sang those jweet Italian airs, whose melody and softness charm the ear, even of those who do not understand., the native tongue. , I We saw the same man and party a few days before on our trip to tho "blue grotto" on ship-board He wore the same pleasant smile. The genial weather, the; beautiful bay, with Vesuvius in the; distance, and . the beautiful city uprising more .clearly to the view, as we asoended the mountain, seemed to have implanted cheerfulness in bim till it bad become a part of bis nature. He did not turn his eyes to the lower world, but7 had a way of throwing them! upward, toward the mountain, the rooky islands, the blue vault of heaven; and he sail g of dear, sweet Italian skies.of Italy 's blue seas, her ooral islands, her beautiful Triples, her biatorio race: of pious hness and father Anchises, of Romulus and of world-cocquering Rome; jand last, of love (so we wero informed by our guide we understood not a word.) Homing disconcerted him. Tho few pebnies which we threw him east no damper on his soul. He was even thank ful for them. His song Was his food, clothing and drink, the pennies an after thought, a thing of secondary import ance. What a happy man ! Having sung and played himself out and the road getting steeper, we left him and his party with their hats in their hands, tbeir eyes still looking unwaidi. satis fied With their morning's work. We now arrive at a large hotel with an observatory where: some of us get out to obtain refreshments Then we driye on across and through the great bed of lava ejected in 1872, many nunurcd yards in widtb and many miles long.: The road in cut through th's. and bird work it must have taken to c ut it. The general color of the lava is a slaty .brown, but it is of all oolors it looks sometimes like the roots of trees that wagons have run over tiil they have become flattened on toD. Twisted in shspe like these and like serpents. 1 could imagine: a person taking a syringe and forcing from it soft mud. It would take such shapes as here seen, each shape . peculiar to itelf, and like nothing in nature I ever saw before. We could see inhere the lava had become hard on the outside. forming a hollow tufa through whieh the molten matter flowed Onward and downward. Then we pass! over older lava beds ejected at different periods. Km perhaps below the Christun era. A BXItSATIQHAIi STOKY FKOM CMIOW COUNTY. Charlotte Chronicle. ' ADout seven years ago, in the county of Union, Alfred Godfrey and his wife, to all appearances, were living together as nappuy as married people could wish Their nearest neighbors were Knfus L Porter and hi sister, Susanna. As time rolled on the buds of affection unfolded themselves into full-blown flowers and the fact was disclosed that a strong bond of attachment had been formed by God- irey ror iuiss rorter. lben it was that it became known that Kufus Porter en tertained the same tender feelings to wards Mrs. Godfrey. A trade was pro posed. Porter was to take Mrs. God frey and half a bushel of peas as "boot." and Godfrey was to tske Miss Porter. I be trade i was consummated, with the consent of the women.

" Congressional, Wadesboro, Each has a history of destractiort and devastation, and it is all still too bard to furnish soil for a fig or an olive rce. Wo have long t-;nce passed thu line of Jvegetation, and the lava is below atid above us. Not a song of grass has a " w bt cu seen for an bour. On wo t'o.izis- zngging more and more as tho mountain grows tn. erer and steeper. Unc turn places our bficks to the bay and we see only the mountain. As we suddenly turn again, we heboid ships and boats fuspcuded apparently m und-air, so Uicar is the atmosphere and bo transparent is the water. I The jusion vanishes as we iook ana see the ships sink down to the natural watr of the bay, or rather the water aeenm to rise up to 'them. Zigsag, zigzag. on ward and upward, till we arrive at the railway at the foot of tho steep incline of the cone. No carriage oould ever ascend that cone, and the footing is of ashes bo light that the pedestrian ((inks up to his knees in it. There! is hotel here, so we all dine. A stationa ry httani engine, with a largo drum, around thicb two wire 1 opes are wound, pulls ap and down the iiht passepger car which carries us to the top. The track has one rail only of wood two fec.t high Bnd tea inches broad OQ top of whioh is nailed an iron slat. 'The wheels run on this in file. To prevent the car from overturning there areihor izontsl wheels on each sido of tho' bot tom of the car, which clasp tightly the fiid' s of the single stringer, rolling on other iron slats nailed to the sides.; Bo7 sides, the two large w:re ropos, oio on each side of the ear, whieh is fastened to them, serve to keep tbo car properly balanced. ; Tbo incline averages i de grees. In some places the incline is 4f degrees and the railway is tbe steep est in the world. The car is pmall, and vrry light, the seats placed on a level. We arc too much frightened to get a good view of tho bay and city far be neath us; besides, the view is not par ticularly good, as we are entirely too high and too far from tbe objects seen. e teei relieved when we arrive at the top, which is not exactly the top ; either, a? we see an other cone some distance off, some hundred feet in height, from whence is sues smoke or steam or both. We make for this cone on foot, over beds of vel low, hot lava, whioh burns our boots as we walk on it, and with a slip of paper we light our cigars from the hot steam that issues;irom the cracks in the rock The yellow rock is not colored with sul phur, as we Supposed, but with chloride of iron. Around are to bo seen piles of broken lava as high as a man s shoul ders and crescent shaped, behind which shelter themselves from the cold, piero- ing winas ine men wno oner us wine, s i - rruits, and impressions or copper coins laid on the molten lava and then de tached and allowed to cool. It is cold here in November, and a light snow is often seen in this month. Walking ever the hot rook we descend and arrive at the foot of the second cone. Imagine eray-uBn nouse sucn as we otttn see in our meadows, built of clods of mud, and jiuu mw a.! m.. w,ij x.it only it is pyramidal in; shape and Very Eteep. But the large lumps of lava, aro not cemented. They lie so loosely to- getaer xnaa as we step on tbem they sink and roll down and we go down with them. After a serious struggle and with the help of two guides we arrive at the top, on the windward side. We would be suffocated were we on the other side, and now and then the wind clears tho funnel of the crater of smoke so that we can see forty or fifty feet down into ik, nit at me nottom it seems quite small. We think the throat ) to be only twenty feet in diameter, as we judge by guessing at the diameter; of the column of stones thrown straight up in the air forty feet only , to fall directly back. None fall on the sides of the funnel, but they pass within twenty feet of us. : They are not very numer ous, the largest being only about tbe size of an egg, and are not red hot, but they come directly from the cauldron of hot water in the mountain, which we hear shrieking, coughing, hissing and caterwauling not far beneath our feet juet before every ejection. It seems like a living animal, rtipiring regular ly every five minutes with a cough, and throwing up stones. There is no dan ger now, unless you were to slide down into the, crater, and then no coroner's jury could ever hold an inquest over your remains. Some persons have thus committed suicide. The diameter of the crater is only about fifty feet at the top, and as the mountain is not we are disappointed. The base may be . 7 nu18 1D diameter and the moun tain is nearly a mile high, most of it a nuge pile ot sterile lava; how many acres is this 1 In a country so thickly populated that land is very valuable the voiuano iurnisnes a rather expensive feystem oi nre-worxs, but perhaps the looking like a huge loaf of bread, fifty by thirty feet in dimension. From this lava bubble a small stream of lava, poured, several hundred yards in length, looking, as we saw afterwards on our rt turn from Pompeii after ! dark, like a Ktrpent or river of; molten iron or gold. We soon begin the descent. Whilst on a narrow, elevated railroad at the Bighi, becoming somewhat alarmed on crossing a high bridge, iwe promised ourselves that if the good Lord would let, us down without accident we would quit such foolishness in the future. But we broke our promise. ; We thought "What matters it anyway? There isn't any danger, and if there were we would never -know it. We would be emptied into the bay of Naples nine miles off if this thing were to break irom un moorings, mat s ail. so we rather enjoyed tbe descent because couldn't help ourselves and because we reasoned that we were quite safe. Ar riving at the depot we get into our car riages and drive rapidly downward through the cold evening air towards thecity. The scene was lovely. The islands Ischia, Procidaand Capri, which form break waters for the bay, f-tood out bold and clean-cut, sharply defined in the cold, clear atmosphere, and late that afternoon we arrived at our hotel It is almost useless to repeat what every one has already heard, that this bay, with its magnificent surroundings, is, if not the most beautiful, the second in beauty and grandeur on our globe Henco the Italian saying, "Vcdi Napoli e poi mori !" "See Naples before you dio," which seem most aptly to express tbe Italian idea of this lovely city and its surroundings. At night, walking on the quay, we can not see Vesuvius. We enquire of policeman and he points it out. We can scarcely see it, but about every five minutes we can see (as it coughs up tbe stones, we suppose) a small light reflect ed underneath the clouds that overhang it, about tbe size of a man's hat, and this is all the ligh t this sleeping volcano gives forth, lhe little river of lava on tne otner side and cannot be seen from the city. What a pity ! I forgot to mention that this volcano is of different heights at different times Alter an eruption it is lower, the top then being blown partly on. It grad uallyrebuildsjitself, as an ant-hill does after its top has been torn off. Let me give a few brief extracts from the recorded history of this mountain. In A. D. 79 it was split in two. The younger Pliny, who witnessed this eruption, records that "day turned into night; premonitory earthquakes; extra ordinary agitation of the sea; dense clouds overhanging sea and land, riven by incessant flashes of lightning; emis sion of fire and ashes; descent of streams of lava; and the universal terror of men w&o believed the end of the wc rid had ar rived; clouds hovering over the mountain assuming the form of awful colossal fig ures. In A. D. 203 ashes were cairied as far as Constantinople. In 1631 a huge cloud of smoke and ashes rising in a conical form cast a gloom over Naples in ejected, one weighing 25 tons, to a dis tance of fifteen miles, and seven streams of lava poured trom the summit, over whelming the villages of Bosco, Torse dell' Annunziata, Torre dell' Greco, Resina and Portiei. Three thousand perrons perished on this occasion. "In August 1779, stonej weighing 100 pounds were hurled 2,000 feet high. In 1858, the upper crater sank 195 feet. In April 1872 the lava boiled out with such sudden violence as to destroy twen ty persons out of a crowd of spectators who were watching the eruption, in a stream 1,000 yards wide and twenty feet deep, and ran three miles in twelve hours. At the same time amidst ter rific thunderings, the crater poured forth huge volumes of smoke min gled with red hot stones to a height of 4,000 feet, whilst clouds of ashes rising 8,000 feet were osrried 140 miles. The lava ejected during this eruption cover ed an area of two f quare miles, averag ing thirteen feet in depth. The vapors sometimes rise to a height of 10,000 feet, resembling a pine trev in form and the temperature of the lava is some times 2,000 degrees Fahr." ouch are some of the doings of this little volcano which we ascended and descended in safety in one day' and which we were somewhat disap pointed in. The whole country around JNapies is undermined by subterranean fires, as we Bee in the grotta di Cane and the crater of Solfataro which are liable any moment to burst forth and destroy life and property. We came very near being in Naples in September '83. We were at Geneva, and the boat did not leave for Naples till the next day, so we journeyed to Venice, on the island of Ischia, situated twenty miles off in the bay, is the town of Cas- tmicoiola. Here there were 4.000 neo ST SUMMER RESORTS. EDUCATIONAL. liCONOMlZB Summer and ; Winter Besort. BATTERY PARK HOTEL ffiffk Eeatim. w ; - ASHEVILLE. N. C. Thf Battery Park will be open July 13th.
