The Chicago gamblers are having a
troublesome time. Their dens have
bees broken up three times iu less than
« month.
It is laid that Alexander 11. Stephens
left behind him a journal containing the
record of his prison experience at Fort
Warren.
Jon C. Fremont, who is years old,
says that lie camped where Chicago is,
where Minneapolis is and where Salt
Lake City is before, there was a house
•t either place. Ho also tried to camp
where Cleveland is, but was driven off
at the Buchanan's mouth.
Sam Jones continues to amaze bis
bearers by his plain talk. "Some of
you little sinners," he said the other
.day, "are sitting around here waiting
for aalvaUou to strike you as it did St.
Paul. Snow-birds waiting to be hit
with a eannon ball. God adjusts his
ammunition to the size ot the man ho is
after. Mustard-seed shot will do for
you. Cod won't keep a man sober who
tuw a quart of liquor in him all the
time. Cod won't keep a youug lady
pious who has her waist encircled seven
limes a week by the arms of a spider-
Jigged dude."
A correspondent says that ex-Senator
(tiurdon, of Georgia, is a iuiuiliar figure
on the sheets of Washington these hot
/lays, lie has had a checkered career,
at one tiaio boing tbe most popular man
in Georgia, not excepting the late Ben
j 1 ill. He resigned bis placo in the
Senate to make room for Joe Brown,
and since that time he has rather lost
caste with the politicians of the South.
Gordon went iuto raitroadiug and made
a cool half million dollars- About six
months ago he went to New York and
began to speculate on W»)l Street. At
|r*t he was very successful. In one
week, he told a friend, he cleared over
$60,000. He was jubilant, and said
be was getting nil "pointers" from Jay
Gould His friend warned him to be
oareful, but Gordon, who ordinarily a
sharp, keen business man, was confi
dant that ha would aooa be a millionaire.
It ii hardly neaesaary to write the so
jucl. He is in Washington without a
dollar— all gone in speculation.
A fuopy occurrence took place recent
ly at a fasbisnabjc Western hotel, in
irhicb a bride ami groom from St. Paul,
Minn., ware prominent actors. On the
morning following their arrival, at
breakfast, the dainty fcride oomplained
of feeling cold, and tho attentive hus
band volunteered to go to their apart
ment for a wrap. Ho was told to bring
a red casbmerc shawl, which hung over
the back of a chair, and in a few min
utes be re-appeared with a garment in
his bands and at once proceeded to ten
derly plate the same on his wife's pret
ty shoulders Suddenly the bride turn
ed scarlet, shrieked aloud and nearly
fell from her flbau. livery one of tbe
hundred or more people in the dining
room tamed to see what was the matter,
and belie Id a oorpulentaod near-sighted
gentleman standing behind a lady's
ebair, holding extended at arms' length
»Kd embroidered petticoat. The men
laughed, tbe women giggled, the waiters
looked or in amasement, and the bride
and groom slid out without finishing
their breakfast

A new industry is to be started in
this neighborhood. Some gentleman af
this place propose to go into the ottlti
v:ition anil sale of seed-tieks, which

We are ahead of yon, neighbor, in tbe

the memory of man reealletb not. We
have thetu too, all sixes and grades,

"Tbe survival ot' the fittest," set upon
the hnckleberry-hushes near the twilight
hour, listening for the familiar sound of

'■ 1 will stop right here to say that
r there is not much difference in church

world. There is old Brother A., who
says, 'if you do not turn the danceis out
I will leave the church,' yet ho is len

Some years ago a party of infidels
started a town aud named it Libersl.
It was their purpose to show tbe world
what could be accomplished by a colo
ny of advanoed thinkers. Tbe town
barred out churches, saloons, priests
and tcaohers, and tbe people had no
belief in God, Jesus and the devil.
Alter a struggle of five years tbe town
is rapidly going down. Tbe people
want to sell out sod move away. The
morals of the place have been ia a fright
ful conditura from the start. Although
no saloons are allowed drunkenness
prevails and everybody swears. Peo
ple have no confidence in each other, no
respect for each other, no self-respect.
The experiment of running a town in
open defiance of Gods laws has proved
- a disastrous failure. The infidels of tho
i country should take a look at Liberal.
| 1 hey will then be better latisfiod with
Christian comqyinities.
The Washington Gazette, a paper
that supported Blaine for president,
! has this te say of President Cleveland :
{ "lie lias made but few mistakes since
he became president, and he is not
ashamed to correct an error if be finds
he has made one. Take him, all in all,
and judging solely from his actions dur
ing the first four months of bis term,
we think Mr. Cleveland will prove to
be oue of the greatest presidents that
this country has ever had."

Seeing the need io Lhis section of a
place where the weary, feeble and brok
en down may recruit tbeir health and
rest; where they aud their families may
spend the hot season pleasantly when it
is necessary to leave their homes or
change air, that the failing health of
some loved one may be restored, we
have laid out
A NEW TOWN
and arc now olforing for sale lots in
probably the healthiest section in North
Carolina. The town is located on a
beautiful
Flat Mountain Ridge
miles west from Danbury , about i
of a mile from the celebiated I'iedmont
springs , about the same distance to
Pepper's Aluin springs ; ! of a mile
from Smith's Chalybeate spring, and
two miles from C. K. Moore's Sulphur
spring, while the location presents
The Finest Views
j of Moore's Kuob, the Hanging Rook,
and other prominent peaks along the
Suuratowu mouutaiu. The lots aro
well uuyered with large and small forest
trees, which will afford shade in summer
aud form
lSoixutiful (irovpN.
The whole is
Surrounded by Springs
of the purest mountain water, entitling
it to the Indian name, "Cutuaca," a
land of springs, which, together with
the pure mountain air, would bring col
cr to the faded eheek, and strength to
weary frame, even if there was no real
mineral water within a hundred miles of
the place.
The undersigned propose also to erect
a saw-mill, planing machine, &c., that
they may build cottages or furnish lum
ber to those who wish to purchase lots
In this healthful locality, where no ma
laria ever comes, and a case of typhoid
fever was never known, except it was
contracted out of the neighborhood.
The price of lots this season, 50x100
feet, will be $25 each. For further
particulars addres,
