tional on the concurrence of the house ol

A TINY STOWAWAY.
Marie Hater's Advent on
the
Steamship La Brelajcne.
New York Sun.
A tiny stowaway was discovered on
the steamship La Bretague in midoccau
five days ago. The ship's surgeon was
the discoverer. The little one gi.t its first
misty glimpse of land yesterday morn
ing when it passed through Castle Oar
den in the arms of its happy mother. Cu
rious juvenile passengers in the steerage
were told that their braid new compan
ion had been picked up troni a raft that
slipped off' a cloud.
It wasu't verv long after the baby had
emitted its first sea squall that every
French woman in the cabin wanted to
see it and do something for it. So it was
passed around and hugged and ktsse ,
with much feminine enthusiasm, and
voted to lie the very sweetest little
daughter of Neptune that ever boarded a
ship. The hat was passed around with
the baby, and its lather and mother.
Monsieur und Madame Hutcr, of Alsace,
wen- 400 francs richer than when they
left Havre.
That wasn't all the busy little French
women did for the nautical kid. I'tider
the inspiration of Mme. Trmiilly, a sew
ing circle was organized, and all the odds
und ends ol silk and lace were fished out
from the corners of trunks and devoted
to the adornment of the child of the sea.
Meanwhile there wns a christening, ut
which a reverenJ passenger officiated,
and the baby received the name of Marie
Josephine Uretagne Hutcr. II Marie had
been able to think, she would havedoubt
less wondered whether she wasn't really
a princess in disguise instead of the child
of two humble immigrants; for who but
a royal infant would be fine enough to
wear all the gorgeous wraps and under
wear that the deft needles of the little
French women had created in three busy
d u s. Marie's mother wns vigorous
enough to bring her through the Garden.

A UDV 10a years oi.n.
Five tieneratlons Conitrejsale In a
Slnifle Home.
Washington Star.
The modest, yellow frame house stand
ing at No. 5(19 Bight h street southeast
shelters five generations of the same
I lamilv. The eldest, Mi s. Agatha Kabaza,
is 1(12 years ot age, while the youngest
is a little miss of two months.
In the month of May, 17S7, when the
Island Monaca, oft' the coast ol Spam,
was looking its brightest, Agatha was
born. When only sixteen years of age
she was married to a Spaniard named
Kabaza. and a daughter was the result
of their union. When the girl was be
tween thirteen and fourteen years of ugc
she met a young officer in the I'nited
States Navy named McLanc. The young
man at once fell in love with Catherine,
but ns he was unable to sjieak Spanish
bis love making did not progress ns
rapidly as he desired. He began to learn
Spanish. In this he was successful and
his love suit prospered in proportion to
his ardor. He soon succeeded in win ing
the girl's love, and they wee married
when Catherine was oiilv fifteen years
old.
Almost immediately after the marriage
McLune's vessel was ordered to the
home station, and he and his young
bride came over on it. In 184-7, after
they had been in America some time,
they paid a visit to the old Spanish
homestead, and when they returned
brought Mrs. Kabaza over wiihilieui.
She remained in New York about two
years, and then came with her daughter
to Washington. In the iiicntuiuie the
Mexican war broke out and McLanc
served through it with distinction. In
lS49hcwas killed at I lie Washington
Navy Yard by the bursting of a gun.
Mrs. McLanc had a daughter, also
named Catherine, who at a very .early
age married Thomas W. Ileiuliue, who
-vas also in the navv, and was a mem
ber of the jury that tried Ciuiteatt for
shooting President Garlield. Theircldest
child married Mr. K. II. Holland, ol
nunpolis, Maryland. Mrs. Holland has
two children, both girls. The eldest,
Mary, is live years, ami the youngest,
Nina, is only two mouths, and these
hildreu enjoy the distinction of a grcat-grcat-grandmother
and two great
grandmothers living in the same house
with them.

lust Yesterday's Session.
Chicago, October 3. There was a
lull local scalping market for wheat, ami
during most of the session it was an ex
tremely narrow one. Prices early worked
up Vsa-Vsc above yesterday's closing, De
cember touching ,SJ7mC. The bullish
movement did not hold and toward the
close the market was sustained only by
muscular force. Inside prices of the day
were touched during the last tilcceu min
utes of the session. Dccemlier sold off to
.Sl7Hc. Lutcst quotations were ViuVnc.
under those of yesterday for leading fu
tures. A fair degree of activity was manifested
in the corn market, and the feeling devel
oped was easier and steady. There were
no new features of coiisequcncedcveloped
and influences on the market were mainly
of a local character. There wasa rumor
of a cut ol 5e. by one of 'he Western
roads, and this may have hail a tendency
to increase offerings. The market oieiied
at about yesterdn. 's closing prices, was
easy ami sold off' under free offerings
1 .i -'sc., rallied 'Hfl'-ic, ruled easier and
closed ' Na' ic. lower than yesterday.
In oats there wasa moderate trade in
May, but in other deliveries very little
business transpired. The feeling early
was firm but later became weaker, and
prices receded slightly and the market
elosed quiet.
Trading in pork was only moderate
and chiefly in November and January con
tracts. October was quiet, with few
sales at irregular prices.
The lard market was quiet and rather
dull early with light trading at 2Mic. de
cline. Later the feeling was steadier and
tile decline was recovered.
Short ribs were dull and little business
was transacted.

The North Alabama LumberCompaiiy,
of Bridgeport, Ala., recently organized
with a capital stock of 75,000. fully

STATIC NEWS.
Hcudcisonvillc Times: Dr. M.C. King,
of Flat Rock, while performing a surgical
operation upon a patient a le v daysago,
had the misfortune of inflicting a painful
wound upon himself. It seems that the
patient flinched from the operation,
which caused the instrument to slip and
'.liter the doctor's leg near the knee. His
many friends wish him a speedy recovery.
W. C. lirvin, Fsq., mayor of Lenoir,
has resigned his office and will move to
Morgauton to take charge of a newspa
per. The Topic says u stock company
lias bought the Morgauton Star from
Mr. Cobb and will fit out a first class
modern newspaper olliee, with power
presses, etc. They have offered Mr. F.rvin
an interest ill the paper if he will become
us editor, and have held out other such
Haltering and paying inducements to
aim that he has accepted. That the
terms upon which he goes are good is
shown by the fact that he abandons a
good, paying and increasing law practice
in Lenoir and other bright prospects that
gave promise of speedy blossoming into
realization. Mr. lirvin will leave for
New York next week to purchase mate
rial for his new paper.
Lexington Dispatch: Mr. W. A. Wat
son, was at home the first of the week.
In conversation with the editor of the
Dispatch, he said that his firm Watson
& Cecil had taken a contract to erect a
bleachery at Concord for the Udells, who
are among the laigest cotton manu
facturing firms ill the State, having ex
tensive lactones at Concord and being
interested in factories at Durham, Salts
bury and other places. The bleachery is
to be a two story brick building, 72x124
feet. It will be the first building erected
for the purpose in the South, and will
doubtless be the beginning of an ex
tensive addition to lite cotton manu
facturing interests in the State. Work
on the bleachery is to begin at once, and
the building ,s io be finished this lull.
Winston Republican: The dried fruit
trade, although it is not what it once
was, owing to the preference manifested
for canned goods, of late years, remains
still no small item of traffic. It was only
the past week that Messrs. Vniighan S:
Pcpier shipK'd 150.000 pounds of the
dried article, as a result of their dealings
in part therein, lllis season. Last
Friday morning the alarm of fire was
sounded, and the Merchants' hotel was
again the source of alarm, a fire having
been discovered in the basement or former
bar-room. The door was locked and no
cause is assigned, except it was the work
of sonic evil disposed person. The flames
were extinguished beloie the engines ar
rived and no damage resulted. This is
the third lire nt this point recently, which
speaks in plain terms that thev were not
accidental, but the work of an incendiary.
News-Observer: The members of the
Hoard of Charities passed yesterday ex
amining the ienitcnliarv. They were
well pleased with the result of their in
spection, everything being apparently in
excellent condition. The board is vested
with very important functions, but be
cause funds have not been appropriated,
their work will be embarrassed. Forthe
present, it was resolved that Mr. Sawyer
should make an inspection of the Mor
gauton Insane Asylum and of the jail at
Asheville: that Mr. Hobbitt should in
spect the Oxford Orphan Asylum mid jail
at Oxfoici ; that Mr. Dultie should iusK-ct
the Goldsboro Asylum and jail at New
Berne; and that Dr. IJ. Burke Haywood
and Mr. Houghton should inspect the in
stitution nt Raleigh. Reports will lie
made to the full board of these inspec
tions. Blanks will be prepared and sent
out to the county authoritiesin regard to
jails and poor-houses. The work of this
board will lie very important. On
Tuesday morning about il o'clock, young
Mr. Matthews, son of Mr. Allen Mat
thews, of Chalk Level, Harnett county,
had his arm torn off while lecding a cot
ton gin. His arm was drawn in up
nearly to the shoulder und completcty
cut off below the elbow bv thesaws. Dr.
B. S. Utlcy, of Holly Springs, who lives
ten miles away, was sent for. He arriv
ed about 5 o'clock and amputated the
arm up nt the shoulder. The young
man had lost so much blood and was so
exhausted under the operations that the
Doctor thought it was hardly possible
for him to live. Mr. Matthews is about
eighteen years old.

he wishes to begin at once, or as soon as
the hall in the new block on Pation ave
nue is completed, which, it is thought,
will be ready to occupy within a week or
two. Rooms for public entci lainmcnls,
worship, reading, gymnastics and other
imusemcnts will lie arranged lor the
pleasure and accommodation of our
young men; and it will no doubt be one
of the most attractive places in the city.
A fuller account of the plans will be given
later. Mr. Andersen has had many
years' exierience in this work as Secre
tary of the Y. M, C. A. of New York
City, and he enters upjn his labors here
with great zeal and earnestness. It only
requires the co-oieration of the young
men of Asheville who are interested in
the cause of morality and Christianity to
make this institution a norm- of great
good in our midst. He esiieeially urges
that the christian young men of all Un
churches meet at the same place next
Thursday evening for the purpose of tak
ing steps toward icrmnnenl organiza
tion. The board of directors are espe
cially requested to meet in the office of
II. A. Gtidger, Esq., Saturday afternoon
it 5 o'clock, at which time important
business will be considered.

I.ANIMC4PK UARDKNINIil
And Ont-Iloor Ornamentation an
Incumbent Outy.
The advertisement of Mr. Latham An
derson is simply to us a suggestion to a
very attractive topic, that of lundsenK
gardening, or, on a smaller scale, out-door
ornamentation. There is something in
the scenery ol a mountain country that
fixes the eye of the most stolid. Form
and color, combination and contrasts, go
to make up natural pictures which de
light the heart and satisfy the imagina
tion. Now when man usurps any place
111 the splendid canvass and makes his
own mark upon it, he is in duty bound to
regard the harmonics upon which he ob
trudes, so that he introduces nothing that
jars upon the proprieties, orcontrasts dis
agreeably with the previously finished
work of the master hand of nature. In
fact, the challenge is thrown down to him
to improve upon it, which the eye and
hand of taste can accomplish. For na
ture, like the scene painter in theatrical
decorations, deals with effects rather than
details; outlines its forms with rude bold
ness nnd dashes on the colors with care
less prodigality, and trusts to distance
to blend, sullen and harmonize. Hut
with landscape gardening or external or
namentation, 111c scale ol operations is
reduced and the work of delailscomes in.
There is so in itch room, so much
and need tor such work here and else
where, that without knowing anything
whatever of Mr. Anderson's qualitica
lions as set forth in his card, we welcome
him, as we will welcome any artist win
has the ability to meet this especial
want.
REV. II. O. I.ACEV DEAII,
The Sad Event Occurred in Wash-
iHKton I. anl Friday.
We announced a few weeks ago that
Rev. H. (. Laeev would not return to
his pastorate, St. Paul'sclim-ch, this city,
owing to uiiituprovcmcnt in the condi
tion of his throat trouble. Now it would
be impossible for him to do so, for the
fell enemy of man has thus early, in the
midst of a useful life, called him from
labor to reward. His death occurred in
Washington City last Friday and was
to many a surprise and cause for deep re
gret, within his liock and without. Ill
icit his charge shortly after the Pearson
meeting last year, in which he was an
active participant, for a special treat
ment for a throat trouble, which grew
worse instead of better as the days sped
by and, terminated fatally.
We find the above painful information
in the Winston Republican of yesterday.
It is not unexpected ; for it is only re
cently that the gentleman, so loved and
admired, was here, in the last period ol
the struggle with his final conqueror in
the vain hope of arresting his march.
Wiem lie left here, his friends parted with
him witli the conviction that "they
would see him no mure."

locked up, and yesterday afternoon was
brought before Mayor Blanton, who
bound him oyer to the next term of the
criminal court in the sum of $200, and
the bond not being forthcoming, he was
remanded to jail. Roberts, who is de
clared by Dr. J. C. II. Justice to be in a
precarious condition, is at his home, but
will remain under the eves of the officials

MODERATE CALCULATIONS.
The News-Observer too Modest
In its Estimates.
The News-l Ibserver, lookingsomceltven
years into the future, makes the follow
ing estimates of the urban population of
some of the towns of North Carolina.
We commend the N. O. for its judicious
moderation. But surely Wilmington at
its present rate of progress will more
than double its present number in eleven
years. Kaleigh has made a vigorous
start and will add more than 10,000 in
that time; and we think Asheville will
certainly reach 25,000. Its population
in 1880 was 2,680. It is now considera
bly over 10,000. Surely in eleven yeHrs
more, nnd with a knowledge attained
not hud in earlier years, and the Mr
greater influx of population to Western
North Carolina, it is safe to predict that
in the year 11)00 Asheville will greet the
beginning of another century with a pop
ulation of 25,000 people:
Any man who thinks that to-morrow
will be the same as to-day makes a great
mistake. Changes are constantly tak
ing place. Those herein North Carolina,
we are glad to think, are for the great
advantage of our people. We exect
that progress will be very rapid with us
nereaiter, and it win be much more ap
parent than heretofore. It will be in an
iceelerating ratio and the development
if the next decade will in all probability
put North Carolina 011 a very different
plane from that we now occupy.
In 1SMI0 Wilmington ought to have
4-0,000 inhabitants, and Raleigh 25,000,
Asheville perhaps 20,000, Charlotte.
Winston, Durham, Henderson, New
Heme, Favettevil'e, Goldsboro. and our
other towns in like proportion, while
railroads not now in contemplation will
run throghout the State, and our indus
trial development, now in its mlancy,
will then be Strom; and prosperous.
ilfording convenient investment lor the

our white population at the rate of 600,-

CHAPMAN REYNOLDS.
Pretty Wedding: on North Main
Street Last Nlitht.
Married at the residence of the bride's
mother in this city, on Thursday, October
3, 1881), by the Rev. J. S. Burnett, S. F.
Chapman to Minnie, daughter of Mrs.
S. li. Reynolds.
This notice announces the marriage ol
two of the most popular young people
of Asheville. Both of them natives of
the place in which they have lived all
their lives, and their popularity is but a
proof of their admirable traits of charac
ter. The parlor in which the ceremony was
performed was not large enough to ad
mit more than a small percentage of the
friends who would have flocked together
to tender their congratulations.
At 7 o'clock the wedding march was
played admirably by Mr. F. L. Jacobs
as the bridal party entered, and then to
the accompaniment of a low, sweet sym
phony, the officiating minister read the
impressive service of the Methodist
church; the troth of each was solemnly
plighted to the other, and the happy
couple were declared man and wile. As
such may their life be long and happy as
they deserve, which is the best wish Thk
Citizkn can tender them.
