The Journal Official publishes tbe following conversation: Several versions have appeared of a 'conversation held during the visit Sun Mw last, of President Grevy to King f .Alfonso in order to assure his majesty of his sentiments and those of the I country towards him. The fconly au I theutic acctunt is that which was fur I nished the press by the St a v as agency. 1 which account must be regarded as offi- cial. Tne account referred to above stated that President Grevy tendered to the King in the name of France an apology for the behavior of the mob, and at tbe same time begged the King to give s x ranee iresn proof or Ms sympathy by -j attending the banquet at Elysee Sunday evening to meet the ministers, when the true sentiments of France towards Al f fenso would be shown."

The note, these papers say, was well received by M Ferry andM Chal-lemel-Lacour. M Ferry subsequently held a conference with President Grevy. A Bottle Nose Whale. Barnegat Cttt, N. J., Oct. 6 A very rare specimen of the Mesapledon or bottle nose whale was recently wash ed ashore here. Prof. True and Mr. Palmer, of the Smithsonian Institute At Washington, are now here taking a plaster cast of the carcass and gathering the bones preparatory to moving it to that Institute.

Correspondence of the chronicle. Washington, October 2. It can hardly be said that Senator Vance was ever a social "lion" here: he has too much good sense and too many resourc- J A T i - . es ror a goou time aua ior a gooa in fluence for. that. But if the walls of bis residence on Massachusetts Avenue could tell all that they have heard, the neighboring buildings would join in a chorus of laughter. . It is a rather modest residence, as resi dences go in this now luxurious city; but it is pleasantly situated. There is a modest lawn in front, and the house is one part of a double house. It is what any North Carolinian would call very comfortable indeed, but it is far from being fashionably furnished. The Senator's study is a small room up stairs, where a few books, thrown harumscarum, a few piles of papers, a brace of easy chairs, a table and a spa cious and hospitable spittoon welcome any Tar Heel. It has a jovial appear ancethat look of negligence and able-to-take-care-of-yourself which so well becomes the furniture of a busj or of a lazy man ; and surely Senator Vance is both. Here one night just before the last Congress adjourned, I had the pleasure of sitting, as we had previously appoint ed, to discuss very important business. The preliminary talk about the weather or about North Carolina led not to seri ous work but to serious jokes; and fcr an hour, fun and tobacco juice found escape from his lips. "I was mighty nigh dead to get here," old Zeb said, "but I'll be hanged if I am not nigher dead to get away. Every vacation of Congress I get stuck on some committee." Then, as always, when the test comes, there was a seri ous tone and a patriotic manliness in his voice. But, before you could think about it, he was illustrating man's duty to his Creator by an anecdote in which old Nash brandy somehow or other played a part. Although, therefore, the throng of fashion never goes to the Senator's, there are always a few of the most in teresting people in Washington to be found there. He seems to have made it a rule to be as domestic as becomes a newly married man; and you can near ly always find him either at home or at the capitol. The regard that the Senators hold him in is peculiar. That they hold him in very high esteem, of course, need not be said. That may easily be! taken for granted. But there are not a few of the Republican Senators who are his bitter estipolitical enemies that are his warm personal admirers and especial friends. Such "Buncombe" as be gives them is very strange to their notions of Senato rial dignity. In the fiercest debate he has always held their uttermost respect and has always, too, confused them by his ready wit. I think I am not rash in saying that he is by far the readiest and most grace ful humorist that there was in Wash ington last winter. There are many Southern Congressmen who are genial gentlemen and full of fun ; but the most of them need congenial company and a great deal of elbow room to display their wit. They are heavy when they rise to make a speech. Old Zeb. is as jolly at one time as at another. And I am sure that no man ever came to Washington who made warm er friends her than he or who of re cent years has done more to put all the world in a good humor with the South. Not the least cheerful outlook of those who enjoy his personal acquaintance is the pleasure of months ; and all his cir cle of friends have been glad to hear the news of the departure of sickness from his household. C. An Independent Candidate Against Latrobe. Baltimore, Oct. 6 J. Monroe Heis tell. fire marshal, has succumbed to the importunities of several .prominent Democrats and Republicans to run as an independent candidate for Mayor, and the chances for his election are very good owing to the dissatisfaction of a great number of Democrats with the nomination of Latrobe at the conven tion last Thursday. Forecasting the Result in Iowa. Desmoines, Iowa, Oct 6,-The Repub lican Head Quarters here claim the election of sixty-five of the one hundred members of the lower house of the State ticket by not less than thirty thousand. The Democratic Head Quarters claim a plurality of eight thousand on the state ticket and a ma jority of the legislative who will vote against Senator Allison. A Mangled Boy. Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 6. John Wayland, ten years of age, while at tempting to board a switch train on East Bridgeport this afternoon fell be neath the cars and had both legs mang le from the hips down. He is dying from his injuries. His father lost his life in a similar manner several years ago. A Fatal Explosion. Rochester, N. Y., October 6. This morning Thomas McGuirt and Frank Gordon, the latter of Boston, while at work on the West Shore Railroad at McEden, were terribly injured by a pre mature explosion. Both were brought to the city hospital here, where McGuirt is now dying. He Blew the Gas Oat. Baltimore, Oct 6 J. E. Spangler, a Princeton, W Va., Merchant, arrived here last night and lodged at the Niag ara House. This morning he was found deal in his room, haviDg been suffoca2 ted by the gas which he had blown out instead of turning it off. The Northern Pacific. New York, Oct. 6. The Northern Pacific directors at their meeting to day re-elected the old board of officers and authorized the issue of twenty mil lion dollars, secured by first mortgage bonds, subject to the approval of the president and stockholders.

Headaches are scattered through out the surrounding country this morn ing. Mr. Frank Wilkes, of this city, has eutered the Junior class of the Stevens Institute, at Hoboken, New Jersey. Some of the editors round about who did not go to Boston came in yes terday to see the circus. Judge Gilmer and Solicitor Osborne will opan the fall term of Union Supe rior court at Monroe to-morrow. The large lap robe made by the "old sailor" at the Charlotte Hotel was raffled of! for $ 40 yesterday, and Col. Wm. Holt won it. Mr. W. S. Max well, son of our towns man Col. D. G. Maxwell, has returned irom- Poughkeepsie Business College with a graduate's honors. About 8 o'clock last night a thief entered the tailor shop of Mr. J. S. Phillips and stole a pair of $12 pants. Mr. Phillips wai in an adjoining room at the time. The best work the police did yes terday was in bagging parties who car ried concealed weapons. By and by, this unlawful custom will cease to exist. Mr. Mullis, aged 95 years, a native of Union county, rode to the city yes terday, a distance ot 33 miles, to see the circus. He had never before seen one, and of course was amazed at yesterday's doings in town. Mr. Walter Rule, a young English man who came to this country about six weeks ago, died at the residence of his uncle, Mr. William Lillycrop, in this city yesterday. The funeral services will be held at Tryon Street Methodist church this afternoon at 3 o'clock. A very excellent crayon portrait taken from a photograph by Mr. Eu gene Harris, of Raleigh, has been shown us. By good judges it is pro nounced to be a faultless piece of work. This rising young North Carolina artist is now turning his attention to oil paintings, and we learn, very suc cessfully. Mr. James C. Munds, Grand Re corder, has issued his official notice that the third annual conclave of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of North Carolina, will be held in the city of Charlotte, commencing Tuesday evening, 9th October, 1883. For the in formation of Grand Officers, Represen tatives and Sir Knights, we will say that the R. & D. and W. N. C. Railroads have promised to sell round trip tickets at reduced rates. The Circus. Our people were in no way disappoint ed with Sells Brothers circus yesterday, but were possibly surprised to find that they had everything they advertised. The street parade, despite the descend ing rain, was the best ever made by a circus in Charlotte. The cages were all handsome ones and there were four bands and a steam piano in the parade. Among the best attractions was the elephant mounted on a chariot, the team of six carrels and the elephant family. Under the tent, everything came up to the average show. The bare back riding was good and tbe feas of the acrobats and contortionists were unsurpassed, All in all, it is a good circu3 aid has less cheat about it than the majority of shows. A Fine Thins Coming. One of the events in the amusement line next week will be "Our Strategists,' at the opera house next Saturday night by Haverly's celebrated comedy com pany. Tbe Augusta Chronicle and Con stitutionalist, says that it "is immense Seldom has a house in Augusta been' better entertained than that last even ing at Masonic Theatre. The audience were kept in the brightest and best of humor from the start and the house du ring the greater part of the farce was in a continual howl. The whole concep tion of the drama is daringly droll. It is a piece of dromino business.from the outset and involves more absurd situa tions than are imaginable in any four acts. The central figure in this whirli gig of mirth is Jack Rutledge,; who adopts a system of strategem by imper sonating successively and successfully his own fattier and the stern parent of bis'Kellie,' both of whom art opposed to the union of their children. The manner ot bringing together these ob stinate dignitaries and changing them from their stands by pure pique was something screamingly ludicrous. The whole troupe is an admirable one."

A Review of the Scenes on the Streets and a Census of the Station ', Mouse- How Some People who Came to See the Circus Behaved and Where They Found Lodgincs. "I have lived here 53 years," remark ed Major James Fox, of the Central Hotel, yesterday, as he stood in front of the hotel and watched the crowds go by, "but in all that time I have never seen half so many drunks here in one day as there is to-day." Major James was very deliberate in this assertion, but he was correct. There was a regu lar epidemic of tangle legs. They didn't go about in ones and twos, but in groups of from six to a dozen, in all stages of goneness, from the simple loose kneed to the plumb dead drunk who could not navigate at all except in a horizontal position, back down, with somebody hold of his arms and legs, The regular police force was increased by a corps of specials and all they had to do the whole day long was to gather up the drunks. It was not a riotous drunk but a good old rainy day circus drunk, and it appeared that the sover eigns were simply bent on having fun They've had it, and to-morrow morning they will pay for it. The first arrest, and the onljr one made or any serious offense, was- that of a colored youth from Mooresville, whom officers Orr and Blackwelder dragged through the streets handcuffed to the jail, just as the parade was passing Independence Square. The prisoner had deliberately drawn his pistol and sent a bullet into the abdomen of a mule that was hitched in a back lot, and that was owned by a colored man named Ned Holland. The animal was a fine one and would have brought $2Q0 at any sale. The negro was seen to walk up to the mule, draw his pistol and shoot it. The mule drop ped to the ground mortally wounded and the police soon had the negro under arrest. It was a most brutal piece of work and the mayor sent the negro to jail under heavy bond. About 2 o'clock the police started around town with a wagon to pick up the fallen and a great load of them was gathered from the byways of the city. The guard house soon became crowded and to make room Mayor Maxwell held a short session of his court, at which he released some on bail and sent others to jail. A census of the guard house, taken by the reporter about sundown showed that there were fifteen in one cell. Most of the occupants of the other three cells were too drunk to answer the roll call and an accurate return cannot be given, but as near as we could come to it the population of the guard house was about forty-three. In this crowd were whites and blacks, one In dian and one Chinaman. The majority of the arrests were made for simple drunks, several for fights and the bal ance for carrying concealed weapons. The mayor's court will commence at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. Sunday Notes. The Lutherans of the State are to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Mar tin Luthei's birth, on Nov 10th, 1883. Dr L A Bikle, Rev T S Brown and Rev V R Stickley, are the committee ap pointed to arrrange the details of the celebration. Rev S T Hallman, pastor of the Lu theran church in Concord has accepted a call to Pomaria, S C. Rev L McKinnon preaches his fare well sermon in Concord to-day, and will administer the communion. He leaves this week for Columbia, and next Sun day Rev J M Whary will declare the pulpit at Concord vacant. We learn that the Presbyterians of Concord will make an effort to secure the pastoral services of Rev. Joseph Y" Allison, a man filled with the love of God, an able expounder of the gospel, and a beauti ful preacher withal. Rev E L Pell, of Marion, N C, is pub lishing a beautiful group picture (enti tled "Our Dead") containing the por traits of seven ministers of the North Carolina Conference lately deceased, viz: Boshamer, Craven, Closs, Reid, Doub, Barringer and Thompson. Al though the picture will not be ready for delivery for several days yet we learn that the publisher has met with such encouragement that he has al ready ordered a second edition. The Western North Carolina corres pondent of the Biblical Recorder says of a remarkable woman : Sister Alice Carter, aged 83, a member of Antioch church, in . Buncombe county, has rajad her Bible twice through this year, with the Pilgrim's Progress, the Royal Path of Life, besides other reading. She has been a member of the Baptist church sixty-three years. Of her fourteen children thirteen are professed Chris tians." The Baptists of Shelby have, during the past year, paid nearly $2,300 for church-expenses, and besides, have paid $3,000 towards the College there. Communion services will be held at the Pirst Presbyterian church this morning. "I am Strictly Business" It will delight Bishop's admirers in this city to know that he is coming again, and will give us "Strictly Busi ness," at the opera house next Friday night. Old Bish appears to be better this season than ever. The Richmond State says: "The Theatre was packed from pit to deme last night 0y a fash ionable audience, when Mr C B Bishop made his first appearance in Gunter's melo-dramatic comedy, "1 am Strictly Business." This is a brand new piece, and last nigat was only its fifth appear ance. But it has all the elements of success, and in Bishop's hands will be the great hit of the season. The comedy is full of side-splitting humeri and the tumultuous applause of the audience was excellent proof of the merit of the performance. The com pany is a good one, .but if there was no one in it but Bishop, the comedy would be a success." -Lc ArrsjLAs, Cau-Hc, a.

With the gin house ten bales of cotton, all the property of Mrs Matthews, were burned. The loss is about $1,800. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been a match in a lot of cotton and which ignited as it was going through the gin. m m The Jtloney-Changers' Game. The money-changing swindle was worked to some extent yesterday. One countryman gave in $80 in $29 bills to be changed and got back $15. He did'nt know of the cheat until he got to Wads- wcrth's stable and his subsequent hunt for the money changer proved unavail ing. Mr. Moses Thomas gave the circus fellows three ten dollar bills to change, and sometime afterwards when he took another look at his change, he found that it amounted to only $9. About 12 o'clock last night he was going around with a policeman hunting the man who changed his money. The Soldier's Home. The fund for the endowment of a Soldiers' Home in this State is still steadily increasing, and we reproduce the list, giving the names of the new subscriptions, as well as all the old ones, to the fund. Somebody in Charlotte ought to give the Home another lift. The list is as follows: E.

The prospects for a grand success were never more promising for a State fair than for the exhibition to be held at Raleigh from the 15th to the 20th of the present month. The display of machinery of all kinds will be large and full, comprising many new articles of practical utility. The display of fine bred live stock promises to be the larg est ever witnessed in the State, if not in the South. Hogs worth $200 a head are net often seen and yet that is the value fixed upon hogs now being pre pared for shipment to our State fair. Fine sheep, in the raising of which our people have great need of becoming more interested, will be present in all the best breeds. The trials of speed will be very at tractive for at least four days of the fair. Then come next fine breeds of cattle, including Jerseys, Devons, short horns and other fine bloods, in all of which our people are becoming more interested each year. Those fine butter makers will ere long take the place of our scrubs to a large extent, and the sooner thetsetter. The prospects are very flattering for an unusually large exhibition Of farm products of all kinds Our farmers are showing more of the present day progressive spirit, and we trust at their State convention Infuse they will infuse the intensite spirit into each other, and spread the same throughout our grand old State.
