We return thanks to W. A. Davis, for
au invitation to attend a Thanksgiving
Supper, to be gi ven at the Oxford Hotel, on
Thursday night, Nov. 2Mh, 1877, to the
friends and patrons of the Torch Light.
Mr. Davis, is oun the best and most
enterprising Editors in the State and we
hope him as great success in future as in
past.
Last Tuesday was "circus da" there
than usually gathers here- ou Saturdays.
Maybe it was because there were no ani
mals on exhibition our people love to look
at animals emphatically this proves that
our people care nothing for a show. Its
the animals, we -have always contended
that it was only animals ours are a
moral peopleJ;linances compel them to be.

Scalded. Mr. E. H. Marsh, andT. Fred
Murphy, were testing a newly repaired
engine on the Western X. C. Rail Road,
last Saturday evening, when it Was dis
covered that the cyiluder cocks were not j
working well ; the engine was stopped,
and these gentlemen proceeded to exam
ine into the causes, of said trouble. Dur
ing the progress of this examination, (we
are not engineer enough to tell how,)
both of them were scalded severely on
their arms.

The ascension of the huge balloon on
last Tuesday, was the most attractive part
of II & IPs , Show. It was inflated with
hnfcnir nnil vrlicn lnnsp.fi. tdinr, intn rlii'nir
like a,rocket, with the "fool' (as some
people are uncharitable enough to call
him,) dangling to a horizontal bar, skin
ning the cat amtcutting up generally. The
balloon rose to the; height of about three j
hundred yards and passed over seven !
blocks of buildings, and fell in the south
western suburbs of the city. It was a
novel sight to most of our citizens.
-o-
IVent out Full. There is-a proper ob
ject of charity in tho case of a lady in
this vicinity, who, a few years ago,
moved to the northwest with her husband,
and after living there five or six years
lost her husband by death, who left her
with three children. A year or two after
wards her dwelling house, together with
its entire contents, was destroyed by fire.
She then return empty to Xorth Carolina
to friends and kindred unable to help her,
. herself and little ones by laboring in the
fields, cookiug, washing, &c. Any who
may wish to help this toiling one by
' money or other gifts are requested to de-
jiosit them iu the-hands of Mr.. John
' Ileilig, Salisbury, who will convey them
to the person alluded to.
o
. The two concerts to be given here on
thejevenings of the 29th and 30th, under
the auspices of Prof. W. H. Xeave and
Lady, will, we can confidently assert, be
the finest and grandest musical eutertarn
wentsever offered in this State rich and
varied enough to jdease all tastes, even
of tlte most select audiences in Metropoli
tan cities. The whole real musical strength
of the city will be brought out fn the
roost presentabb-Jiindrattractive manner
all the young ladies ; all Mrs. Ncavc's
pupils, and the two Bauds, Senior and
Junior, carefully trained in new music
for the occasion.
No expense in' time or money is spared
to bring these concerts to the highest
point of excellence. Such as obtaining
the newest and finest foreign music, get
ting Prof. Lineback to jeome from Salem
to put the two pianos in perfect accord,

The excursion train on the Western N.
G. R. R. to Morganton, Sunday, was au
" unfortunate thing in several respects. It
" left here with only about 20 or 30 excur
sionists and but few got on at intermediate
points. Part of the train got off the track
at 3rd Creek, but was 'easily replaced
At Hickory, as the train waa leaving a
colored woman in attempting to get oh j
was knocked down and fell with a leg on
the track, which ofourso she lost after
wards amputated by the Doctors, who,
while thus engaged, found in the woman's
possession some stolen jewelry. Last,
but not least, not one of the excursionists,
so far as heard of, was converted by the
preaching they heard at Morgan ton. Now
if we knew Uqw much money the It. E.
Company made over and above expenses
it would show the valoe of this Sunday
excursion. '

lulled. Two of the negroes sentenced
at the last term of Rowan Superior Court
were killed last Thursday, at the head of
the Western N. C, li. lLf whither they
had been sent to work out the sentence of
the Court. Travis Haley and Rufus Young
are the names of the convicts killed.
Haley was sentenced to 3 years for lar
ceny j Young to 10 years for an attempt
at rape. It will be remeinbered that
Young was tried at the Spring term of
our Courjt for raping a white woman and
was convicted, but got a new trial and
was cleared at the fall term, but was tak
en in-another case of the same nature, an
attempt to rape a colored woman, and
was convicted aud sentenced as above
stated. These two, and one other, at
tempted their escape and were fired upon
by the-guant, ith the above result.
In the case of Young, itrseems that the
just avenger of all wrong has nieetednout
to him righteous judgement for his horri
ble crime.
o
We know a young man a hard work
ing, honest lad who has a faUingTn two
respects. The first is he dips snuff; the
other is a weak place on his left side, in
the region of the heart, for-fthe girls.
Xow this is a bad habit, this snuff dipping,
we mean, and this particular youth car
ries it to an excess. He has a nice little
box, made just like a drum, except that
one head comes out, this is his snuff box.
When he goes to see his "little duck," as
he calls her, he takes his box and 'they
have a real social time, dipping from the
same box, cooing, &c Now girls we beg
you not to do such naughty things, we
mean as dipping with your sweetheart,
or by yourself. You ought to teach better
things, and not countenance, or tolerate
in your presence the dipping of gnu ft.
We don't mean to say a word against the
young man; for every body says he is
good boy. ,

FROM SWAXXAXOA GAP.
Gov. Vance's Visit Tlte Railroad Tlte
lush Interest Here.
(Correspondence of the Ashe vllle Citizen )
On the evening of the 5th inst. Gov.
Yance arrived at Henry's on a visit to
Swaunauoa Gap.
He visited on the day following his ar
rival at Henry, the works at the top of
the mountain a distance of three miles,
which the Governor traveled bv Walker's
Hack Line. He was glad to fiud that the
locomotive had at last been gotten across
the mountain a work in which about one
hundred hands have been employed, for
a fortuight and alialf. The engineer, ex
pecting the Governor, fired up his engine,
and when he came asked him to blow, for
the first time, the locomotive whistle in
Buncombe, the immediate home of Rip
Van Winkle. The Governor climbing
into the engine the first pioneer of mod
ern civilization among a people just wak
ing placed his hand Hpon the throttle
valve and the glad blue hills re-echoed
the long expected sounds
w The work on the Railroad is progress
ing J slowly. Although there is among
those controlling the Work an honest de
sire for the completion of the road j and
a health v-emulation between the two
Railroads pointing to Asheville, which
will doubtless hasten the work on each,
jet there are somethings thai detract
from the otherwise perhaps rapid prog
ress. One consummately foolish thing is
the shackliugof the several hundred con
victs here. Even those working in the
Swannanoa Tunnel are shackled, thereby
hindering them from what they might do,
with no possibility of escape.
Here also is located tlie X. C, Fish
Hatchery. It is situated within a stone's
throw of the Swannanoa Gap, and in a
lesser distance of the railroad or niore
properly the western approach to the
tunnel. The Supt. Mr. W. F. Page is a
thorough expert, aud a cultivated gentle
man. TJie quarter of a million California
Salmon eggs have hatched out leaving
about two-hundred and twenty-five thous
and fish in good order. These will be
ready for distribution about the middle
of December. The nature of the Salmon,
where they will" be distributed and how;
bow they have been hatched and other
points, will be spoken of, with your per
mission in a future paper.
DOUBLEYOU VEE.
Nov. 7th, 1877.
- Apropos to the above is the following
from the Charlotte Observer of the 17th
inst j ' ' - "
"Avery satisfactory evidence of the
progress of the work in the Swannanoa
tunnel, on the Western North Carolina
Railroad, was developed late Thursday-
It is known to all who have
ever visited the work at thovhead of this
road, orOre at all familiar with it, that
some time ago a shaft about two hundred
feet deep was sunk near the top of the
mountain, with, a leaning to the Buncombe
side, and Immediately in the proposed
line of the railroad. This shaft soon fill
ed more than half full of Water, andThurs-
day evening while the convicts were at
work in the tunnel, driving straight ahead
in the direction of Buncombe, nature's
wall weakened and gave way, and the
water from the great well came rushing
down into the tunnel, a roaring cataract.
By the exercise of great fleetness the con
victs beat the torrent to the mouth of the
tunnel, and all arrived on the outside un
hurt.
"The striking of this shaft signifies
that the tunnel, which will be a quarter
of a mile in length, is more than half
completed from this side, and that the
"State of Buncombe" has been reached
by the railroad." y
THE SLAVE TRAFFIC IN EGYPT.
Washington Dispatch to the New York Times.
Washington, Nov. 10. The Consul
General of the United States at Cairo has
forwarded to the Department of State a
copy of the convention concluded ou the
4th of August last between Governments
of Great Britain and Egypt for the sup
pression of the slave trade with the coun
tries ruled over by the Kliedive. The
convention is embraced within seven ar
ticles, in which are recited the usual
formalities attendant upon the drawing
up of such instruments. The powers and
privileges granted by the Egyptian Gov
ernment to British cruisers to visit, search,
detain, &c, suspected Egyptian vessels
are very full, aud the "law's delay5? in
the trial of slavers short and the punish
ment severe. Wherever the word "slaves"
occurs in the convention it is immediately
qualified by the words "Africans or Abys
siniaus," which qualification it would
seem, was intended to exclude from the
terms of that instrument the Circassian
and Georgian female slaves, who are pur
chased in Constantinople by the middle
and higher classes in Egypt, and held in
the harems under the designation of ser
vants or wives. These "servants," with
whom the masters live in a state of con
cubinage, and who are only limited in
number by the desire and wealth of the
purchasers, are really slaves, but it is
clear from the wording of the convention
that while the severest measures will be
adopted for the suppression of African
Abyssinian slavery, the Oriental system
which condemns the beautiful: white
women of Georgia and Circassia to lives
of slavery and concubinage will not be
interferred with in anymauuer wha tever.
The Cowhide of the Fathers.
Sunday News.
What is wanting in this country is the
cowhide of the fathers. The wisest man
who ever lived said that "if yon spare the
rod you will spoil the child." That is as
true to-day as it was when it was uttered.
The fifth com man dm en t is the apex of
the Decalogue, the key-stone of the arch,
the only commandment to which God
immediately attached a promise : "Hon
or thy father and thy mother, that thy
days be long in the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee." At home
the children must be" taught .'respect and
obedience to parents, and reverence for
elders and those entrusted with authority
over them. Irreverence is the curse of
the age, and it must be corrected right at
home. A good son makes a good pupil
and a good citizen, aud a bad sou travels
exactly the opposite road.
THE XEW SILVER DOLLAR HOW
IT IS TO BE MADE.
We gather the following description of
the die for moulding the new silver dol
lar, from au exchange :
In anticipation of the passage of some
silver bill a die has been prepared for the
new silver dollar. It is a great improve
ment over the old. On the obverse side
is a medallion head of Liberty, with sprigs
of cotton and corn in place of the tradit
ional fillet. The execution of the head I
is very fine, and the arrangement of the
hair on the forehead aud the disposition
of the lines around the chin and neck are
treated with remarkable grace and free
dom. The reverse has an eagle display
ed, aud the motto, "United States of
America," and "IfPliiribus I'hmw,'' with
the date Where the secondary mot
to, In God We trust," is to go, is not yet
determined, but it will not be left off. A
study was made of an eagle from life for
the coin, but it did not prove satisfactory,
and the autique type was followed. The
design meets the dilficulty of suggesting
relief without making tho engraving of
the die unreasonably high-
Our northern brethren without regard
to race, sect or party or previous condi
tion seem to be opposed to making silver
money once more, and opposed to the re
peal of the bill forcing a return to specie
payments on the first of January 1S79.
The proposition to coin a new lot of the
old time silver dollars, they term a legal
ized mode of swindling. They call upon
the Senate to kill the bill, aud they call
upon'Mr. Hayes to veto it. They are
ready to make friends with any man of
any party, white or black, that will unite
with them in griuding the most out of
their debtors. This is a significant fact,
and one that should teach us of the South
a lesson long to be remembered. We can
not soon learn that to take care of our
material interest we must rely on our
selves, and that, if we do not look after
our own affairs with a zealous and watch
ful eye they will be neglected. We can
not depend on the northern brother when
his pecuniary interest conflicts with ours,
and we must not expect it. Raleigh Oh'

Honest John.
The New York Iribune of a recent date
says, Senator Patterson -retains '"his seat
at Washington, but he cannot be said to
vepreeent South Carolina there any longer.
All of the petitions, memorials, and
other documents from the State are sent
to Senator Gorderr, and are presented by
him. The great man's occupation is goue.
The only desire for his aid or society
manifested anywhere, conies from the
penitentiary of South Carolina. That
absolutely yearns for him.
Last evening, in this city, Rev. J. E.
Fogarry, of Charleston county, S. C, and
Miss Bettie V. McCorkle, were married
at the residence of the bride's brother-in-law,
C. Scott, Esq,, Rev. A. W. Miller,
D. D. of the First Presbyterian church,
officiating. Only a few friends were
Lpresent, and soon after the marriage the
newly married couple departed on the
Air-Line traiu for Spartanburg, S. C.
The groom is a graduate or Davidson
College, and has many acquaintances in
this section. Our congratulations and
good wishes attend the united pair.
Charlotte Obzerrtr, 15th inst.
The Bishop of Hereford, while examin
ing a class iu a public school, asked what
an average was. Several boy's said that
they didn't know, but at last one replied:
"It is what a hen lays on." The Bishop
looked in amazement at the boy, who then
said that he had obtained bis information
in his little book of facts. The little book
was sent for, and, when it arrived, the
bright boy pointed triumphantly to the
following sentence : "The domestic hen
lays on an accrage fifty eggs each year."
Queen Victoria regulates and discip
lines her children just as if they were still
boys and girls. Prince Leopold is twenty-four,
but his slightest movements or

cepted an invitation to attend the Epis

before hour of service positive orders to

empty and unoccupied.

U NATURE'S OWN REMEDY,

Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, and other herbs, it forma
Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla
and Queen's Delight,
The most powerful blood purifier known to medical
science for the cure of old ulcers, diseased joints, foul
discharges from the ears and nostrils, abscesses, skin
diseases, dropsy, kidney complaint, evil effects of
secret practices, disordered liver and spleen. Its use
strengthens the nervous system, imparts a fair com
plexion, and builds up the body with .
? HEALTHY, SOLID FLESH.
As an antidote to syphilitic poison it is strongly
recommended. Hundreds of cases of the worst type
have been radically cured by it. Being purely veg
etable its continued use will do no harm. The best
time to take it is during the summer and fall ; and
instead of debility, headache, fever and ague, you
will enjoy robust health. Sold by all druggists.

On meeting a friend the fir-t inquiry is al
ways regarding I113 health. Vi hy : ijeeansei
health i of the first consideration; vet many .
will sit m :i cold, damp theatre, regardless of
weak lungs and hacking cough. Discard tome
of the ephemeral pleasures of the day, such as
theatre-going, cigar-smoking, &c, and invest
your small change in something that will be a
astin beneht. tor instance, Ootissens loin
pound Honey of i'ar costs only o0 cents, a. id
will cure your Cough, Cold, and 11 diseases of
the Throat and Lungs. Try it. Fur sale tit

A Very Good Reason.
The reason why only one sample bottle of
Mekkei.'s Hei'ATINE for the Liver will be .-old
to the same person, for ten cents, by our Drug
gist, Theo. K. Kluttz is because d" tlie enoriuous
expense o! importing the Ilepaline into this
country ; but as there are fifly doses in the large
size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap
enough afteraU for a medicine that cures dys
peysia ami liver complaint. All who liave not
iiad a sample buttle are entitled to one for ten
cents, at Theo. Kluttz' Drug store. Three
dosesTelieves anv case of dyspepsia, constipa-
