"Trie Citizen" Pllarrtsaa 'Vlaltesl Ihe Home or Moat Is Corvlliut'a Mo bleat Son, "Onr Own 3Cot. and Telia of ttao Happr sulfas of Sen ator and Mr a. Vsoce, All roads lead to Rome-but only one to tbc mecca at Gombroon, I lie home of North Carolina's favorite son. Senator Z. B. Vance. Through the ufcr Swaananoa valley a roadway fringed with grateful shade points out the easy miles, and guides to the foot of the mountain, where the oen becomes a pass. Another mile and the crystal waters ol the North Fork spring from Craccv's shadows in the dense groves of the giant balsams, lite darken ing Hols and riffles hint f t gleaming trout, and as he sighs the tempted turns into the graded curves that sweep to the saddle of ast encircling riilje and to tbc cottage that overlooks the further gorge. In the resting chairs on the piazza the Senator and his devoted wife were feast Inir on the music from a swc.'t-throatcd robin as -he picd his notes of trilling melody. Tiik Citizkn pilgrim was made of the party with a sincere and hearty welcome. When "Our Zcb" bids the pilgrim ta his hearthstone light and lend with him a midsummer's day under Mitchell's frowning heights, the traveller becomes a truly welcome guest of the greatest living son of the Old North State, and his departing hour will come too soon. The point of view from the piazzas of Gombroon is an inspiration, sublime, enchanting, restttil an ever-changing scene of rugged grandeur, whether bathed in the sheen of summer sunshine. shrouded in the veils ol settling mists or as its vistas arc obscured by the lower ing thunder head? that dip their bulging masses and fill the gorges from the depths to the furthest heights, and oftentimes a passing storm gives back the golden sunlight through glinting raindrops, and the scene of enchantment is complete. When the toga of the Senate chamber is laid aside, the bu&v haunts of men and their artificialities arc i welcome ex change for the kindly moods of nature in the glories ol Gombroon, and the states man becomes a horny-handed son of toil; his agricultural bent here goes bridle Irec and tlic loams ol centuries are gen erous in their rcwartls ol hid husbandry. The season in the cove is ten days late, but "ros'n years" Iroin tlic Senator's garden were a toothsome dish in Sunday's menu and the vegetable field throughout rs in as tine condition as those in the bottoms of much lower altitude. The choice of crops is grass and the statesman-farmer neaUs weighty volumes to his people in this wise preference. Clover and timothy made the finest stand, the latter meas uring to tbc eyes of the stalwart Sena tor when ready for the mower, and more than twenty tons of fragrant bay await the needs ol the herds when the winter reigns. The harvest of the cer eals from a comparatively small acreage promises to be bountiful and olAl grade. The present pride of the husbandman is centered m a blioUcrcu cove but re cently cleared, upon whose slocs 'Stand the maize fields jsrern and shining Waving soft and sunny tresses." When the corn song is sung at the husking frolic it is estimated that 4O0 bushels of the maize ears will 'be the yield. The products of the dairy are ample for the needs of the family so frequently aug mented in the number of its guests as is this one ol hospitable entertainers. The (arm ledger shows the loss of three fine Jerseys and nearly a hundred hogs by the neglect of keepers and the ravages of cholera. The orchards, though young, are in bearing and an apple house is under con struction lor the storage of the crop in sight. Grape vines are heavy clustered, and other small fruits have been plenti ful, red raspberries particularly so, bush els of this delicious fruit going to lees fortunate growers 'round about. The accomplished mistressof the manor is in close sympathy with her noble hus band in their life of democratic simplic ity. Ouictlv gowned in gray, gloved and hooded, the lady directs tbe improvement of the estate, and with artistic knowl edge adds to the landscape from her tours of exploration in the diversified Dora of the glens and rocky knolls. The evenings at the lodge are spent in whist and music or in the treasures of the comprehensive library. And so tbc blessings of serene enjoy ment come to the people's servant and his gracious helpmeet in their earthly paradise and the benison of a real heaven abides upon their roof tree. The health of Senator Vance has been greatly benefited bv his season of recu peration in the mountains and be will resume his place among the law makers at Washington early next month equipped for active duty in what prom ises to be a memorable session. Mrs. Vance will probably remain at Gom broon until the late fall, when she will rejoin her distinguished husband at the capital. Synopsis of the Plaar and Characters. The three-act comedy, "Da vid Garrick," to be presented next Thursday evening at the Grand opera house for the benefit of the Ashcville Library association, is by T. W. Robertson, the author of "Caste" and other successful dramas. The plot is founded on a pretended inci dent in the life of Garrick, the famous ac tor, who lived about 1740. Mr. Ingot, a wealthy citizen of London and direc tor in the Hast Indian company, finding that his daughter Ada is in love with Garrick, invites the latter to his house and after an unsuccessful attempt to bribe him to leave the country, tells him the situation. Garrick undertakes to cure the girl of her infatuation, and while putting his plan into execution finds that he is in love with her himself. Fortunately, before it is too late, the plan is discovered by Ada and all ends happily. Tbc play is full of laughable THE AMD FRANCE. situations, contrasted with the touching love of Ingot lor his d.rughtcr, and of her struggle between her love (or her father and for Garrick. The costumes are elaborate and are those of the period. The cast of characters follows: Pavid Garrick, the actor. Ronald MacDonald Mr. Simon Ingot, a wealthy citizen Capt. T. W. Patton Squire Chivy ......W. W. West Mr. Smith .. John Child Mr. lirovrne W. I. Williams Mr. Jones 11. I. Child Thomas, the butler D. C. Waddcll. jr George, the valet H. A. G.

The Juljr Term Opens Here This Horulng. Judge Tlios. A. Jones donned the judi cial ermine today and began the July term of the Buncombe Criminal court And right gracefully do the honors sit upon the new judge's shoulders. Solici tor Eug. I). Carter, Geo. W. Young, the new clerk, and Deputy S B. Erwin were in their places, and the court wasted no time in getting down to the business groove. The following gentlemen compose the grand jury: W. K.

Smith, jr., M. B. Roberts. Judge Jones' charge to the grand jury was one of some length, and was clear and able as well. In the case of State vs. James WoHc, charged with maintaining a nuisance in tbc shape of a slaughter house, a not pros was entered. This case has been in the courts for several terms. At the last term of the Supreme court Mr. Wolfe was given a new trial. State vs. J. D. Redmond, assault; on trial. I.ISV KM FOR TBi;CO!OI Somethlnn; New at the Passeuteer Depot in Aalievllle. There is a new arrangement at tbe passenger depot that catches the man who is up to date in such things and makes the uninitiated stare with open mouth at tbc curious things one sees nowadays on every hand. The article referred to is an electric gong, which gives notice when starting time comes for the trains in the yard. Three minutes before the time .for leaving the gong sounds thrice, and woe unto the man who requires more than three minutes to get aboard, tor promptly at the ex pi ration ol that time the gong sounds again and simultaneously therewith the train glides off. There is no foolish ness about It. The gong is connected with the dispatcher's office; Mr. Poster or Mr. Newell presses the button and the gong hit docs the rest. M. Pavlr. Ihe French Minister lo Slain, Given His Walking Pa nera, it la Said The Thunder et" Comments On the situation. Paris, uly 2. M. Dcvclle had a long conference with Premier Duhuy all ol yesterday. Only at the last minute was it decided to impart to the press Slant's reply and the government's decisions. It ts stated that Mr. Dcvclle has noti fied Admiral Ilunann to proceed at once to declare a blockade. The Soir comments thus, in an extra edition, on Siam i reply : "Siain con cedes only the least important of tbc conditions put by Prance. Her rcsis tancc is due obviously to English influ ence. M. ncvcllc would do well to speak clearly and firmly to Lord Duflcria." Noon The French government has not yet notified the powers of the inten tion of Prance to blockade tbc Menam river. It is stated that M. Pavie. the French minister to Siam, has been or dered to leave Bangkok in 24 hours. London, July 24. The Times this morning published an editorial, which, it is thought, expresses the general En glish opinion of the merits of the France- Siamese disputes. In commenting upon Siam's answer to the French ultimatum the Times says: "Siam's refusal to go beyond the just and reasonable limits or to concede territory to which France never put in an effective claim until the other day is no excuse for the measures of hostility ostensibly directed against tne biatncse. but really striking at tbe commerce ol Jbnglaud and other coun tries having commercial relations with Siam. The Bangkok correspondent of the Daily Chronicle telegraphs under yester day's date: "Siamese warships ate anchored one mile from the Preach and are crowded with men ready (or acting, Their intention is, in case the I-rench commence hostilities, to steam down and ram the Prench gunboats, attempt to board them in force and attack the crews with fixed bayonets. The German gun boat Wolf has arrived here. 1:45 p. m. The government has noti fied the powers that it intended to estab lish a blockade of the Siamese coast. ltliout prejudice to other measures that may be taken with the object of securing to I-ranee the guarantee to which she is entitled A council of Ministers will be held to morrow to decide what additional meas ures shall be taken to ensure obtaining of guarantees from Siam.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, was seen by a United Press reporter at his villa here this morning, and was shown the pub lished dispatch which stated that he was dying from cancerous affection of the throat. Jclfcrson laughed heartily when he read the item, and said : "They seem to be giving it to me in the neck." Con tinuing, he said: Von may deny the story. It is absolutely false. I never was in better health and spirits than at the present time, and have entirely re covered from mv recent indisposition. Such stories are ridiculous and extremely annoying." FORD'S TUKATt.
