On the coir ' trarv lor Hours wc nave neen jostling t and tugging, i,ni1 pushing S'ucezing, and not cursing ol course, Out liciug cursed most heartily, as wc wrestled with a inollcy ciowd ol at least titty thousand men and women, each of whom were de termined to he the very first to gel t through the miles of rooms and galleries. 1 ol which we have an impression on our v minds, mixed up of gold cornices anil I rescued ceiling, and French lialtlcs, and statues and portraits, which arc all con .' Jfuscd in an inextricable jinniilc, so we - 4 can hardly hone to tell von what we ' $ have seen; siithcc it to say everything J trill v elegant, especially the gallery ol i glass, which overlooks the gardens nuci louulaiiis, and in winch the victorious (icrinnns announced Lheir terms ol peace; hard indeed is this for a poor Frenchman to swallow. Again, too, is Marie Anlioiictic brought . to mind, as wc pass through her private :' apartments and sec the stairs by which she attempted to es -ape irom the mad 1110 1, but the one room that repaid ail ol out- traniic struggle ami latiguc, is that i lit the center ol which is a marble ligun ,3V ol tile ilvuiii Napoleon similar but super '- lor to that in the Corcoran gallery, while iinincdi.ttciy above it is a laigcanii : f lilc-likc painting ol the great Hmpcror tit he delivered the liaglcs to his soldiers. Si at one glance, he stands before us, at tin 1 highest point of his powcr.and the zenith . ''; of his glory, and as lie sal in his despair, :. the strong lentnrcs and lips pressed (o- gcthcr, indicating the bitter thoughts concealed behind I liat massive forehead, .even at this hour of approaching dissolu tion. It did indeed seem an anomaly that . these gorgeously rcgai rooms should be given up to the mob, which to-day lillci. them, and to ns royally is the necessary thing for France. Wc cannot believe that a republic can endure for a people ol their strange peculiarities. - Wearied and heai t sick at viewing these signs of departed glory, wc an glad to get out, into the fresh air of tin Wonderful gardens and stroll through them to the Trianon, another palace, '-' where we are shown several more oi Marie Antionettc's lieds, (she must have ; been a very sleepy body i and then to the State carriages at which the crowd is so ill ise that Sludcr and I cliinb in at a ' window and launch our bodies upon tin ', mass of French humanity, which is squirming below us. Much cursed and '-j abused, but minded it little, we thus 1 succeed in viewing these gorgeous relics , ol former ages. ; Six of these carriages, each with a his s torv ot its own. surrounded the raudes. ol all, which was the coronation coach ol (. haiies X . It is a huge ag.iir.covcreii with gold from cud to end, the very wheels a mass of gilding richly wrought, while on toi are groups of statuettes ol some metal. Neither of us i cgrcilcd tin. effort wc had made to catch even a hasU glance at these old coaches. The event of the day to ns was fet ti occur, and this was our excuse for devot ing Sunday totbcsecxcursions.nsonlyoi: this holy day arc the fountains allowed to play, or as these people sny,".rsram scs ninrilicnl," literally "tlicwatcrswalk themselves," and this is attended with such great expense that it is done for only one hour. Beginning at " o'clock they suddenly burst forth in wreaths ol spray, surpassing the most delicate lace, which the setting sun embellishes with innumerable arcs of prismatic coloring. A description is far beyond us ; in number they are infinite, in variety endless, in 1 beauty each seems more exquisite than the last. Around and around wc walk III delight. Let those who wish take i pleasure ill high art; wc prefer these jets of pure water, surrounded with tin b ag j ranee of sweet llowcrs. S The last of these fountains, that id' Ncp tunc, was reserved until the others wert done, to allow the visitors to collect around it. Indeed, 'twas a wonderful sight. In the form ot an irregular cres cent is a pond of still water, in which thou sands of carp are lazily swimming, this pond is in area about tv.o acies; the dis tance from point to p iiii'. of i.bc crescent some SOU feet; around its convex a solid mass of people facing the smaller circle, which is built of heavily grained stone, rising seven feet above the water's edge, while at the center is placed a massive bronze Neptune in his chariot drawn by six sea lions, and supported on rigln nu.i lett by groups of mermaids. Miiiwayon each side trout center to apex is a group composed of immense nautical fabulous animals, and at each extreme pointadol phin of some niuterial and of hugedimen sions. On top of the wall aretwenty-six vases, each ten feet in height, and on its face a corresponding number of human heads. Suddenly the grand old sea god belches forth from mouth and nostrils hisch uient in foam and mist, which gives the signal to his satellites, and each piomptly re sponds and tries to excel his chief. From our position we counted 1011 jets extend ing Irom point to point, some i.riendic ular, others gracefully curving over the lake, and above all a lovely rainbow a suitable completion to this truly fairy scene. A glance backward over these notes really shocks us with the thought of our temerity in attempting this description. We really did not intend it, but were so full of our subject that we have written on and oil, utmost unconsciously. And how faint an idea you will have of the reality ! Although the shades of night are ra idly approaching, and we are many miles IV an our pension, the temptation to hu ge 1 overcomes our prudence, and once more we ascend the gentle sloie to the grand terrace in front of the palace and take our stand near I. atona's Fountain, now still and ipiiel, where a few minutes ago the goddess was protecting her two children, Apollo and 1 liana, from licing submerged, and here wc take one King, lingering look, the last perchance lor us, at thisnoble pile. The whole building stands before us, in length nearly 4, (Kill lect, but its immensity is the last consideration, and the least ; its architectural bcautv is divine, hut the surroundings are theciiicf attraction ; and still we linger through the twilight, wandering tip and down Un lovely vistas, liven at this late moment we discover a new charm, which rivets ub to the spot until there is no longer light for its contemplation.

It is a diocesan school established under the controbof the Fpiscopal church oft he Diocese of North Carolina, managed through a Board of Fellows, Itisotcn however, to pupils oi all denominations who may apply for admission, it is pro posed and determined to make il a high school in character as well as in name, and lo that cud the teachers have been selected with great care with reference to tlie highest ipialitications of scholarship, adaptation lo their work, and personal character. The he'id master is Mr. Konald Mc Donald, lie is herewith his family. This gentleman is the son of the widely known author (ieorge McDonald, was educated at the 'niversitv of Oxford with distinc lion.ltaught successfully in Fngland some years.and removing lo tlicl'niicd States, taught here two years before accepting his present appointment, lie is a thor ongh classical scholar, and Innuhar with licrman and French. Mr. Itissel, second master, is the son ol i missionary now iu India, where per haps he himself was born, but he wav educated in America, gradualimr with n'gh honor at Vale, and is a ihoroughb educated, genial gentleman. The matron is Miss Ida Kamseiir, of Lincoln county, we believe. The High School is designed to prepare pupils for our Stale Fniversity or tbrany other, and also to lit them for practical business life.

At the lime f adioiirninent of the Croniu ease this evening there were lour jurors in the box igainst whom no legal disiiiialilication had liccn discovered and who had lieen I te iKiereti to me mate nv me iiciense. 1 lie States attorney asked until to morrow to consider the acceptability of these jurors, and it is not improbable that the same, or even all lour of the gentlemen may lie ultimately accepted urn sworn in.

Sandy Foster, a turbulent negro about town who is in trouble oftener than he is out, went into the store and asked Smith to sell him a cigar on credit. Knowing Sandy's failure to pay lor anything which he could obtain without Iirst putting up the "rocks," Smith re fused to let him have the cigar. Sandy became very much incensed at Smith's declination to sell him the cigar, and set iu to roundly cursing and abusing the clerk, finally winding up with the decla ration ihui "il'l had a pistol I'd blow he top of your head oil." Thereupon Smith put Sandy out ol the store. Fos ter went oil' and soon returned with .a IS-calibrc revolver which lie had bor rowed troin one ol Ins lneuils, and re newed the trouble with Smith. His Ian uage was awlul, and his threats to per loratc Muiiu s auaiomy Willi a couple of Xo. ; IIS bullets were frcipicnt and em phatic. Next he made a break for clerk Smitith, who picked up small box of potatoes near bv and A'ilh it soon llallened the belligerent Sandy out. As soon . as he could get on Iiis feet again Saudv pulled his gnu am leveling il al Smith fired at him twice scarcely a second's time intervening be t ween the two reports.

Neither of the shots took effect, fortunately, but how they missed hitting sonic one of thcniaiiy people standing Ly at the time is a mys tery. Sandy will have u hearing before the Mayor this morning, and will be, beyond doubt, committed to jail to stand trial on a charge of intent to kill with deadly weapon, at the coming term of the crim inal court. I'-osler is a bad, notoriously bad negro, and his attempt al murder last night is but another illustration of his lotal de pravity and cusscdness. FOLKS VOl' KNOW.

A CrnziiN representative yesterday afternoon learned from ex-Mayor Har kins that he had positively refused to rent his new building on I'atton avenue to the government as a site for the loca tion ot the city iinslollicc. The reason for this refusal is based upon the tact that the government is willing to pay Mr. Marking only $4(10 er year lor the use ol his handsome brick and granite structure; and the ex mayor is not built in a way that war rants him iu furnishing free buildings for t'nitcd States pnstolliecs at this iiartieu- ar season of the year. Therefore, he leclined to consider Ihcin iiuilicentoMcrof I'ncleSain, and the whole thing is de clared oil'. Hesides, Mr. Markins has already about concluded a contract lo rent the same premises to a private individual for .$75 per month, and if the postoMicc is removed it wi!l not be found domiciled on Mr. Markins' I'atton avenueirojK'rty at a rental of $400 per year. His decis ion iu tlie matter is absolutely final, and 1'iicle Sam will have to hunt sonic other building in which to carry on the postal branch of his business iu Ashevillc. It is rum. ired that Mr. W. T. Reynolds has offered one of the large store-rooms in his handsome opera house building to the government as a suitable site for the location of the posloflicc, but as Till-: Citizkx was unable to liud that gentle men last evening, the truth or falsity of such statement could not be directly established. Iu the meanwhile, 14 Hendry block is still vacant. It is a large andconyeniciit room ; well adapted in every particular lor the location of the postollice. besides icing more centrally loeaU-d than any other available buildiiiL' in theeitv. Whv would il not be just the thing to cstab- lsh the postoMicc iu the Hendrv block ? AN l.NOOKNlv.VIF.NT. A Noritanton Citizen Feels the In- Hull to the I.aw. In speaking of the unfortunate and criminal lynching at Morirniiton last week, we spoke as a law abiding citizen, concerned at the contempt in which ihi- the law had fallen, and earnestly desirous that it should be brought back into its regular, just and respected channel. We were sure that our position would meet the approbation of till judicious men, for ill such must tremble at the peril that menaces society if mob law be countenanced, and if the lciral tribu nals cease to be the resort for obtaining justice or vindicating the powers of the law nl the land. We are happy to present the fnllnwing emphatic and gratifying endorsement of our position, written bv n inmwm ;entleinan of Morganton, who speaks for himself, and we are glad to say, for others, livery good citizen of every ti lose gooil name is so grievously brought in (picstion should make every effort to make the repetition of such insults to the law again impossible: Mokcanton, X.
