In Aslieville the day was anything but a typical one, as the Christmas weather Koes. The greater portion ol it was clear and sunny and the unfortunate whose ovtrcoat was with his friend un der the siri of the three balls around tic corner was just as much "in it" as the man who wears the finest coat in town. It was rall'i r a dry Christmas, al though theic was iit it an.l there on tlie streets evidence of nn artificial wetness that coaxed anon from the absorber a jubilant whoop as he, perhaps, thought with an undoubtedly mistaken concep tion of the holid-ty he was celebrating. Some of the stores were closed, while others stayid open, but did little busi- ihss. I-or Christmas is not a good day for shopkeepers unless it b; for eiyar mil news statir's anil shops where the I'd firecracker can he bought. The firecracker was in its nlory yester av. The small bov und the crown bov with the Chiistmas in his hones carried packages of the fun-and-firc producers, md the streets were tilled with the smoke and scraps of the burst popper, ktepm) the street cleaners busv, while no cars out deal ones escaped the terri ble din whi i'h w:.s raised bv the spit- levils, li.z sizz -izz-banus, and tliecannon racket's with l heir roar as of the ap- proacti it an earthrjuake. liesiiles the explosives there was an ex- traordin 11 ilv lame outbreak of the bird- ill, tin whistle, horn and other instru ments ,1 torture, which, propelled and lidcil anil abetted cachhv a bov, roamed bout the struts with a shrilly penetra tive succession ol umarthlv screams that nadc one winder ii he were not turned looc in a iorest full of maupies, parrots i ii 1 moTikevs. Uut it was Christinas, and everything was allowed to j; ' so lonasit remained within the counties of inn, which it en- eiallv coi trivea to do. The majority of the churches departed from tlnir usual custom of having Christmas dav exercises, and numbers of persons who did not read Tub Citizkn went to cliineli only to find that there :.s to ho no -rvi.:e. Trinity Hpiseojial lurch was an exception, and the con 1'i'jjati hi gathered there and heard otnc excellent special Christmas music.

Heinitsti & Reagan many South Carolinians in Aslieville is not because this is a better climate that that of the Palmetto Statr, but because it is supposed that every man in South Carolina is expected to fight at the drop ol a hat, and that as soon as they got old enough to realize what was expected ot them, they moved out. "You can drop your hats all around us now; we don't mind it," said Mr. Arthur. Third, That the climate of Aslieville has done a great deal for many of its vis itors, but for none of them has it accom plished as much as it lias for Dr. Huck Hilliard, "the wasp-wuisted Willie of the wild wood," who weighed only about nine or ten pounds when he first came' here and now tips the beam at som: thing over four hundred pounds aviirdu-pois. This is about all he had intended to sav to the Gridironers besides what he succeeded in saying when they were here. Uut he explained the absence of cham pagne at the dinner vcslertluv on the theorj- that a man oi his means could not afford to be niggardly about the wine his guests were to drink on Christ mas day, and he had got the most expen sive beverane lie could procure in the State, to-wit : rtwannanoa river water at Supt. Murray's prices. A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE IT MAY BE FOI OHT IOO MILES OFF BRAZIL.. HTOI.E O.N CHIUSTHAH. Juliti WtlifNliv I'altc-M h Side of I.eat!t-r mid t;etH Into Trouble. John Ktgsby, a young white man in the emploo of the sanitary department, under District Officer Nolatul, was ar rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Hampton, charged with theft. Kigsby had stolen a side of upper leather from 11. G. Noland on South Main street and sold it to I. C. Aloore on North Main for 70 cents. Kigsbv. when asked why he had committed the theft, said: "You fellows hail plentv of Christ mas and I didn't have any, so 1 thought 1 would get some that wav." This morning Kigsby was before Jus tice l'rank Cartir, admitted his guilt and was sent up to await court. District Ulhcer i land says Kigsbv lias been in trouble before for stealing, although he had not been arrested. He had stolen chiiKcns, anil the prosecution was held up on payment of the price ol the fowls, in the hopethnt Kigsby would reform. As to Kigsby's having no Christmas, he has had work three fourths of the time for several months in the sanitarv department. lustice Carter bound three figlitcrs over to court this morning, for a fight near the cotton factory. iiki'ohic Tin-; suvon.

Mello Will Flirbt x.ooo Convicts as a Part of Ilia Crew The Mlc-.Iierov Will CSIve Battle. Pick nam iicco, Dec. 26. Until yesterday morning Periiambuco believed that its harbor was to be the scene of the first big naval battle between the Kepublica, Admiral Mello's best war ship, and tbe Aquidaban, her companion rebel ship on the one side, and the Nictheroy, Presi d. nt Peixoto's dynamite gun cruiser on the other. The news received here yesterday changed the whole aspect of affairs. Tbe rebel warships, it was learned, had sailed toward the island of Ferdinando de Noronha, where there is a large convict settlement. The Revolutionary Admiral's object in going to Ferdinando de Nor onha, which is over 100 miles from the main coast of Brazil, is to compel the able bodied convicts to go aboard his vessels and join their crews. It is said that he expects to secure not less than 1,000 men in this way. This view of the case proved to be correct, for yesterday, when all the men belonging to the Nictkeroy's crew had been gotten ahourd the government bat tle ship steamed out to sea and pointed her nose for the northeast. The Asso ciated Press correspondent is reliably informed that the Nictberoy's destina tion is the island of Ferdinando de Noronha. If this information is cor rect, the long expected sea-battle be tween the revolutionist and government war vessels will in all probability be fought within a short time. HROWN-MONROE.
