Mulberry Sellers, while somewhat aged, is brought to one's mind very forcibly as one contemplates the business which brought Col. A. E. Cochran, a leading member of the bar of San Diego Ca'., to Ashcvillc. Perhaps two weeks ago Col. Cochran, who is a handsome, short, ratber stout, gentleman, on the sunny side of 40, with an eye fur business, came here and tegis tcrrd at the Swannanoa hott,1. The reg ister showed nothing but "A. E. Coch ran, San Diego, Cal.," and to the ordi nary man who looks over the regis ters that meant only one more stranger come here to look at oneof the best cities and enjoy the best climate in all Amer ica. But Col. Cochran brought with him some facts which will almost tempt the reader to violate the tenth command ment and wish that he, too, might boast BUCK KII.UI A DI.ACK. DR.

Cochran came here to take the initiatory steps in proceedings that may restore to the bcirs of William Cochran a princely estate a tract of land ol vast expanse lying in the counties of Wau tauga, Mitchell and Caldwell, this State. This land was granted to William Coch ran and William Tate in the year 1795 oy tne state ot iMortn Carolina, the es tate areRatine 100,640 acres. The grantees held 'possession of the ceded domain until their death, about 1825, when it passed into the hands of their children. The heirs removed from the State and in the course of time died. The fact of the ownership of all this property in the Old North State was all but for gotten. One of these heirs was the father of Col. A. Cochran. Some 15 years ago Col. Cochrane lived in Georgia. The matter of the land to which his father succeeded was brought to his attention and he deter mined, if possible, to establish his rinht to share the estate. lie was n prominent member of the Georgia legislature from 1876 to 1880 and about this time, bv correspondence, collected considerable tacts that would aid nun in the accom plishment oi his object. At this period of the story Col. Coch ran removed to San Diego, where the practice which came to him precluded tne close attention whicb the case re quired, so that it was only compara tively a short wbile Ago that lie began taking definite steps towards claiming that which he believes to be his by right of inheritance. This trip to Ashcvillc is to further his plans and institute suit lor possession. The writs have been is sued and the case, one that will Ik of widespread interest, will begin in the next term of the United States district court at Asbeville in November next. There are 61 respondents in the suit. The flight of a century marks wonder ful changes the world over and the tract of land in which Col. Cochran has a hereditary interest is as noticeablv al tered as are tbe country lands of any section. Where once the bear and pan ther held undisputed reign the land is under cultivation and one hears instead of the howl of tbe animal the prattle of the child and the merry song of the mountain lassie as she goes, light-hearted, about the fulfilment of her household du ties. Where long ago the "too-hoo" of the owl was tbe nearest approach in sound to the wbistle of the locomotive, the inhabitants today cau hear the shriek of the "iron civilizer" as it passes along its track of steel within a few miles ol the homes of this mountain peo ple. Where tbe soil and the primeval letrcst gave back nothing to human being, now tne rewards poured out to tne in dustrious horny-fisted farmer are alike remunerative with the operations of the lumberman. Where nothing but the wildest uudcrgrowth flourished, now stand fields of buckwheat and visions of "flitters" and " Masses" conic almost without bidding. 1 lie towns of Montezuma and Linville have in late years sprung up on this tract, while the famous Cranlierry iron mines are immediately in the northwest corner ol the grant, bummer hotels have been built at points near the tract, and the hand of the white man has done much toward making that section one of the prettiest regions in Western North Carolina. One attraction of especial in terest about this tract is tbe fact that it includes Grandfather, the grand old peak which thousands have come from far and near to see and climb, to drink from one of the coldest springs in exist ence, bubbling from its side, and to pluck a sprig of heather from the crest as a memento of tbe trip. Col. Cochran has associated with him as counsel in this case ex-Attorney-General Theo. P. Davidson, of AsheviUe, and ex-Governor Tbos. J. Jarvis. With such an able array of legal talent, Col. Cochran is sure to secure his rights in the premises. And who will not say that he is a lucky man ? Col. Cochran returned a day or so ago from a horseback trip' over the tract in question. looking for boundaries, etc. "Millions in it ?" Yes, indeed. IIlTIHUfrCK. MAKICS CANNIBALS.

It is scmi-officially stated that tbe French blockade of the Siam-se coast will be put in operation today. Fifteen hundred troops are forming and the French Legion has been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to depart for Si am. Bangkok, July 28. The night passed quietly, although native feeling against foreigners in this city is strong. There was no disorder, but anxiety as to the outcome of the trouble continues. The French gunboats crossed the bar out ward from the Menam river last night, They will rendezvous with other vessels of the Indo-Chtua squadron under Ad miral Thumann off the island of Kop Chang, near the head of the gulf of Siam Trade is at a standstill.

Ainsworth, in charge of the record and pension office of the war department, G. W. Dant, contrae tor, Wm. R. Covert, superintendent, and rrancis nassc, engineer, were tins mom ing arraigned upon -the indictment re cenlly returned by the grand jury, hold' ing them responsible for the fatal disas ter at Ford's old theatre building on the morning of June Oth last, charging each ol them with manslaughter. The defendants pleaded not guilty with a stipulation, which was agreed to by the district attorney, that they might. on or before the 15th of September next, withdraw that plea and enter any other plea or motion tliey might see lit. It is understood that the defendants under this atipulatian, will, when the case is again called, cither demur to the indict mcnt or move to quash it. After the several pleas bad been entered, District Attorney Hinncy gave notice that the several cases would be called lor trial at the beginning of the term in October next. There was only the usual crowd pres ent during the arraignment, and there was no demonstration of any kind or evidence of unusual interest shown. THK Ia.A3V13 SPREADS.

THKIiU MILLIONS OP CSOLD. What Will Von Do Wllb JesnsT" be Theme or tbe Great Preach, er Man v Persons Arrar Them selves on tbe Lord's Side. As the revival services that have been conducted for the past two weeks by Rev. Dr. Wharton at the First Daptist church draw towards the close the inter est increases and many seekers after Christ nightly accept the invitation and nd the peace that passcth all under- tanding. The service last evening was ttended by as large a crowd as has leen there on any evening, perhaps. Dr. Wharton read a great many requests for prayer, among them one for the Chinese of the vity and another for the saloon keepers and their clerks. A solo "Moth er's Way," was sung by Dr. Wharton in way that reached every heart. His sermon was on the text What shall I do then with Jesus 7 Matt. 37. -Ji. 'This is a strange question," Dr. Whar ton said. "If it read 'What will Jesus do with me ?' it would seem more natural. The people had taken Jesus before Pilate and said 'This man says His name is esus of Nazareth, and He claims to be oual with God. He has been stirring up the people, and we want Pilate's consent to put Him to death.' But Pilate said to tne crowd l bnd no fault in this man.' They replied 'We'll report you to Caesar, and you'll lose your head.' So Tesus was given up to tbe mob. i'tlate went against his convictions. He did not see any harm in Jesus, yet he delivered Him into the bands of a mob. He should have acted the man. I know men who go about on two legs, but they are not really men. You know the right and approve it, too, and condemn wrong, wnne any Dy aay you go against your convictions. It is a hard thing to do. You cannot kill conscience. The worst criminal in the world has a conscience. and once in awhile it tells bim he is doing wrong. It is not an easy thing to go against conscience every day. Another thing about Pilate, he acted against the advice of his best counselor, bis wife. Now the married ladies will go home and say 'Mr. Wharton preached bis best sermon tonight.' Pilate's wife told him to have nothing to ilo with that just man.' Ilut be did not obey tier. If you would only act as your wife or mother wanted you to. you would come right up here and confess your sins. Pilate said to himself 1 can t lose my place: 1 will let them have Him. That is the reason why vou do not come to Him there is some reason behind your delay, some pleasure yon do not want to give up. When you reach the point wnere you don't care what you lose, then you are in a good way to be saved, just sav, 'Lord, I will leaye all and follow thee.' There is only one or two things that we can do for Tesus cither accept or reject Him. We can take Him as our leader or rciect Him and go out Into the world and finally spend eternity in dark ness. "What is the consequence if we reject Him ? Some day misfortune will come upon you and yeu will look up for shel ter and there will be none to shelter you. Lvery hope will be gone. But suppose 1 say 'As far as I know how I accept Je sus.' What is the result ? As soon as I accept Him He receives me and by a sin gle stroke of the recording angel's pen every sin is blotted out. He takes my shoes and I take His. He says' 1 lirough every evil I will care for you.' Which will vou do. accept or reject Him ? Make up your minds tonight. One or two more days and my sermons here will have ended. You may never again hear the words I am speaking to night. Let me tell you that you need Him. What will you do with lesus r Christians let us try to love Him a little better. Let us, members ol all churches. say 'Lord, make us more useful.' O, lie is all in all to us. Let us step a little Mnwr n Itim Tn Ihnlp nrtt ohristtana let me say, 'Take Him to you.' He is the best friend you will ever know. Jesus died for you. Will you take Him as your Savior? Some of you will go out and say 'I reject Him; I will not take Him as my Savior." Don't say that. Come and own Him tonight and He will take care of you. Same of you get further away as this meeting draws nearer and nearer to its close. Don't do it. Take Him at His word. Accept Him tonight." The invitation was accepted by a Targe number of persons who wished to re nounce their sinful ways, and a happy after-meeting concluded the service. lir. Wharton will hold no services to morrow. On Sunday, however, he will hold live services. His sermon Sunday evenmir will be tbe closinc one ot tuts revival, although the christian people ol Asbeville wish that be might remain longer.
