The Fraternal Begard of the Alder men in Electing: the Officers The New "City of Brotherly Love." Last Friday night at 8.30 o'clock the new board of aldermen met; the chief business being an election of city officers. When the board assembled in the Mayor's office the crowd was so immense that some one moved an adjournment to the court house, and there the show was held.- :-,.!;;-.- Mayor Blanton presided, though he looked scarcely equal to the task. All the aldermen w ere present, including Alderman Gudger, who has been ill, and his appearance showed the effects of his sickness. On notion of Alderman Reynolds, the salaries of the various officers whose pay was net already fixed, was made $75 per month, except the roundsmen, who will receive $60. The city treasurer was first considered. J. E. Rankin and J. E. Dickerson were the nominees. Mr. Rankin received 4 jvotes to Mr. Dickerson's 2, and was de clared elected.

NATT ATKINSON & SON, fecal-Estate Agbnts, I in liENT' AND SELL f-Oa A DESCRIPTIVE LIST Cit n Kill Ii Two Railroad Presidents. President Walter B. Gw'yn, of the Asheville and Craggy Mountain Rail road, was in New York recently. Hav ing met Jay Gould when that individual was in Asheville last winter, and being moreover a brother railroad president, he called on the little wizard. What occurred at that meeting comes to The Democrat by the underground railroad, so its accuracy cannot be vouched for. "Glad to see you ; glad to see you," said Mr. Gould, his thoughts busy with plans for the. L. & N. and C. & A., "what's the news with you ?" "O, we are driving right ahead down there at Asheville," replied the presi- For sanitary; inspector ; the names of j dent of the A. & C. M. R.

We have received per this mail from our Venice correspondent advices of the marriage, on May 27th, at Genoa, of Miss Georgey Buchanan, of this city, to Mr. Alfred W. Duckett, a rising young English merchant, established at Genoa, Italv. It appears the young couple first be came acquainted some three years ago, when Mrs. Buchanan and daughter were travelling in Europe, and the acquain tance having ripened into mutual affec tion, Mr. Duckett joiued the ladies at Venice, and the marriage was celebrated at the pretty little English church there, by the Rev. J. Harry Buchanan, rector, of Silkstone, England. The affair, we understand, was of quite ! a romantic nature, under the blue skies and balmy sunshine of ancient Venice, ith its carais, 'nidges and gondolas, towers, piazzas and palaces. The bride was dressed in a travelling suit of cafe au lait Henrietta cloth, with brown Bengaline and hat to correspond; all specially ordered from Paris, and looked charmingly pretty. She was ac companied by her mother and many American friends travelling on the con tinent, and the jiondola procession lo and from the church was exceedingly pict uresque. The sombre trappings of the gond"las setting forth the pretty drese of the ladies and the fantastic costume!? of the gondoliers with remarkably pleas ing effect in the bright sunshi le. The honeymoon comprises a trip amongst the beautiful lake and moun tain scenery of Southern Switzerland and thence to Florence, where Mrs. Buchanan, we are informed, will reside for som? time; the young people return ing to Genoa. A Bear Chase. Spiceland, Yancey County, N. C, i June 5, 18111. J Editor Democrat: To-day the citi zens about Peterson Seminary were very much astonished at the appearance of a large bear in the neighborhood. Bruin was r3r6t seen in the field of Mr. Solomon Laws, loitering very leisurely among the cattle that were grazing in the field. Mr. Laws ?-immediately pursued the bear in "hot haste," and soon the chase became general. Old men, rejuvenated by the appearance of a bear, participated In the chase with the agility of youth. Young men who had never before had an op portunity of seeing the species of game that once "ranged in the forest, or smoked in the platter" of the pioneers, rushed to the scene. Soon bruin was brought to bay and captured. The captors, with an ait of so man Nimrods, brought their victim to the school house, that the teachers and pu pils might have the plca5uit of seeing what thev had done. Soon a crowd of curioui spectator- assembled to fee the new intruder, and hear the "hunters" tell their adventures. Perhaps it was one of Bin Tom Wilon's pets tbnt had made its escape from the Black Moun tain. The above s-tory is true. !- M. W. Peteion.

"Who is your president?" inquired the wizard, as he picked up a telegraph blank and began to write, j "I am, sir," replied Mr Gwyn, with dignity. "Ah, indeed!" said the wizard, tap ping his front teeth with; the penstaff, and wondering what effect his telegram would have on 'change, should it i con tents leak out. "You have a nice road, sir," he continued, "a very nice road. How many miles are there in your sys tem?" "About two miles at present ; later cn we shall have twelve or fifteen," replied Mr. Gwyn slowly and in some astonish ment. "All under one management?" again asked the little wizard, from force of habit. i ' "Sir ! Mr. Gould !" said the now irate president of the A. & C. M. R. R., "is it jfor superintendent of water works, which 1 possible you have forgotten how -we was singular, considering how many men wanted office, and he receiving every vote was declared elecled. i Then came the election of policemen, which resulted as follows : No. 1 T.

Yomg. excused your neglige attire that night at Battery Park on the plea of a lost trunk, and gave you not only our choicest soci ety, but all the Pommery Sec in town ?" and as he spoke he rose to his feet. The little wizard dodged behind the table, and with the waste basket for a shield, stood ready to fend off the blows he felt sure were coming, j However, it was all explained, and over lunch at Delmonico's the two rail road presidents pledged eternal friend Hon. Kemp P. Battle, L.L. D., Profes sor of History in the State University, will deliver the address at the Battle Ground, Guilford Court House, July 4th next: " ' - ' Have you read the directions wrapped around Sugar Coated Yeast ? Buncombe County Teachers' Institute Monday, July 20th, has been fixed as the time for the meeting of this body. Teachers in our public schools need not to be reminded of the importance of ihis meeting to them. Let them bear in mind that the law requires them to be present, if they teach in Buncombe bounty this year. In this, as in all other parts of public education, we desire our countv to stand in the front rank. It is greatly to be desired that every teacher who can, will pass the State examination and obtain the three years certificate The certificate will be good in any county in the State, and a large number of them issued will be to the credit of our public schools. It is probable that there will be two State lecturers present, and when their report is published there must be aj good record for Buncombe. Every teacher, every committeeman, and all friends of education and gool govern ment are earnestly appealed to, to work for a great success in this institute. When the names of the lecturers are known further notice will be given. C. B. Way, County Superintendent. " Items of Interest. Ax d now i; is claimed that Dr. Leslie P.

A curious thing connected with his cure is that he gives the patients as much liquor a they want, and moie curious still is the fact that after a few days they don't want it at all. The appetite is cured of all craving for the ardent, and forever. The W. O. T. U. fhould employ Dr. Kee!ey a a means of restricting the u?e of liquor.

As this is plainly the law, what will the aldermen do about the newly elected chief of police? Sarsaparilla belongs to the smllax family of plants, and Is found very gen erally over the American continent ; but the variety that is richest in medicinal properties is the Honduras root, of which the famous Ayer's Sarsaparilla is made.
