Perhaps the moat interesting of the revolutionary relics ia an old mansion over in Alexandria, Va., which ought to be regarded as one of the most, historical houses in America. The place stand? in a 6quare on Fairfax street, and com prises an antique hotel known as the Braddock House, while the real point of interest, the old Car lysle house, is not to be seen from the sidewalk at all. Ths hotel covers the portiou of two sides of a square, standing on the corner but within its grounds is the smal ler building, bcth being connected by the porch. At the foot of the square ia a large garden overgrown with high weeds. A tew hundred yards off flows the Potomac River, and the houses perch just on the side of the hill. From the street nothing of the Carlysle house can be seen, but on passing down the riyer a full view is obtained. Standing in a rear corridor of the hotel one looks out at a man sion that was once the liveliest of the hospitable abodes of olden times. The bricks are still sound, but the front is dull with the rains and suns of fleeting years ; the stately porch of white pillars is shut in by the towering mass of the hotel, and the walk iu front is hign in the air, th ground having been cut away to level the new building's foundation. The stone steps on wrhich the olden gallants whispered airy nothings in the moonlight, now catch only the ceaseless sound of the tinking wires in the telegraph office below, aud the yard where Washington and Lafayette smoked their cigars, or, in earlier clays, when, Lieut. Washington confered with Brad dock, is but the site ot business of fices and stores. The Carlysle house is built upon a vast stone of fort, of whose birth history has no record, but it is supposed to have been erected by the very earliest settlers as a de fence against the Indians, and some place the date or its begin ning as early as 1670 years be fore Washington was born or any one dreamed that a new republic would spring into life in the re cently discovered world. The stones are heavy gray ones, and within the dark recesses are nar row, damp cells, which tradilion says were used as slave-pens and as stables for the cattle when the settlers feared an attack by the In dians. So old is this part that the iron frame of the doorway, which in some places is four inches thick, has iu others rotted off until scarcely an inch is leff. When, in 1732, John S. Carlysle, collector of the port of Alexandria, and con tractor for the work on Christ Church made his house, he simply turned the old fort into a cellar and above it erected a mansioni which is a commodious house,even at the present day. The first place entered in a large hall, into which a broad stairway curves down from the rear. The 'wood ot the steps and newel-post is of solid mahog any, and the value thus represent ed is said to be several hundred dollars. On the right are several empty rooms, which must have been used as parlors ;on the second floor are any number of bed cham bers, while on the left of the hall and opposite to the parlors is a room which has seen most of the great men who made American history. It is the ball room, a rather small apartment in contrast with the magnificent proportions of our modern palaces on the Hud son or Filth avenue, but sufficient ;o the needs of the time. The walls are tinted blue and il e roorn is of paneiings of Oak. AKove the doer and the mantel are elaborate carvings, aud a large frame for pictures built in the w-all like those seen down at Mount Vernon, still remain intact. Here it was that Washinglon, then an ambitious young man, received his commission in the Hntish army from the hands of the English general, Braddock, and from this point they set out on the expedi tion to Fort Duqueane, an enter prise from which Braddock never returned, for his body was buried iiear the place of defeat. Wash ington, being a frontiersman,knew the methods of warfare employed by the Indians, and warned Brad dock that it was' useless to fight savages by the military tactics of Eurepean nations. But, like most Englishmen, Braddock thought he knew all that was necessar3T, but found too late that Washington's advice was the only proper one. In this house, it is said, the con versation relativt to the expedition against the. Indians ' took place And it was her1 also that the coun cil of five Governors took place. The men present were Gov. Din Widdie, of Virginia ; Gov. Le Lan- cey, of New York ; Gov. Morris, of Pennsylvania; Gov. Sharpe, of Massachusetts, and Gov. Shirley. Tradition has- it that it was at Carlysle house that Washington met his fate in the person of the charming Widow Curtis, afterward known as Lady Washington. There is also a pretty story told about a dance that Washington had with Sallie Fairfax, the young sister of Lord Fairfax, in the ball room one night when they were about to set out fox a ball. Washington caught sight of her tresh, smiling face as she came tripping down the glis tening stairs, her dainty toes peep ing out from beneath the soft folds j of tbe huge satin skirts, and with the gallantry ot a Cnesterfield he took her for a partner in a stately minuet, where the two bowed and curtisied to the strains of an old i violin in the hands of a dusky slave, while the tallow "dips'" flickered down on the quaint pic ture. Sallie was a bit. of a flirt, so the gossips say, and it is thought she caused the heart Washington more uneasiness than the bayonets of the British invader. The grounds in front extended from the porch, which is now about a hundred feet about the level of the earth, down to the street, and there was a lovely lawn on which grew sixteen handsome Lombary poplars, in whos9 shade the gallants of the day smoked and flirted or talked about the political disturbances of that time. The hotel now stands on this lawn. Among other colonial relics is Christ Church, in which Washing ton worshiped.and his pew bearing his name on a plate is still pre served and shown daily to visitors. In the yard of the church are many grave of the last century, whose inscriptions are to us ludicrous samples of ancient epitaphs. Not far from the Carlisle house is what has been the old City Hotel, in which the balls of revolutionary days took place, and the balcony for the musicians is still iu good order in the danciug-room. The clock yet preserved in the dancing-room. The clock yet preserved in the Masonic Lodge is the indentical timepiece which stood in the room when Washington died, and the hands are still pointed to the hour when he breathed his last. Here" also are the gloves and otner par aphernalia which Washington wore on the occasion of civil and Masonic ceremonies. Philadel phia Times. A. Look into the Future. There is every human probabili ty that the alliance formed last year between the Repulicans and Populists of North Carolina wilj be continued next year. All he news ot the present time points that way. It has been suggested that fusion between these elements next year will be impossible for the reason that it will be a year ot a national election and that the faith of the Populists and Repub. cans being different at every point. Those who thus urge have not been looking beneath the surface. They have been considering principles, and believing that all men vote on principle, whereas the Populists aud Republicans of North Carolina are mere out to beat the Demo- crats aud for what they can make, They could mix an electoral ticket and commit it to nothing except opposition to Democracy. They could mix a State ticket as thev did last year, and call upon their followers to fall in and beat the Democrats. Those Democrats who lay to their souls the flatter ing unction that differences upon tariff, finance or other momentous questions will keep these allies apart need only to refer to the his tory of last year when the alliance was formed in spite of these differ ences. The leaders, as a matter of self-interest, for the spoils in sight, will brush party differences aside and the blind followers will take whatever is offered them. In the almost certainty of this continued coalition we find this much comfort: Certain so-called Democrats at least men high in j the party councils and men believ. j ing that the weight of responsibil- ! ity for party management rests on them, are, we sincerely believe. making ready to make overtures to Marion Butler for a coalition be tween the Democrats and PoDulists A rebuff awaits them. Butler and the Populists will not trade with them, having a proir engagement. These are the men who have want ed all the time to yield up every thing Democratic, excepting the name, to the Farmers' Alliance and the Populists. It will be worth something to those who stand on principle and who be lieve in decency in politics to see these panderers and time servers humiliated by Butlers' refusal to co-operate with them. He has no respect for them and no confidence in them and nobody can blame him. But, with a continuance of the same fusion which defeated it last year, what is the democratic party to do? It should plant itself upon the rock upon which it has stood through all the years and appeal to the whole people, Democratst Republicans and Populist, for an expression of popular trust in its true principles and policies and in its proved capacity to give honest safe, economical and enlightened government. If it stays where it belongs the people are bound to come back to it. They have been swept off their feet before low but have never failed to recoyer them selves. They will again look for the Democratic party as the best custodian ot their public interests'1 but it it would be found by them in the hour ot their returning rea son it must be found where thev left it. Otherwise not at all. Statesyille Landmark. Wlm t Caused tlio IIuimI TimeH. Judge Hubbard, of Iowa, says it is the existence of corporations. George Gould says it is the hos tility to corporations.

The Groen Park Hotel, situated as it is on the top of the Blue Hidge mountain, 4 tkX feet above the sea level, and about '2'2 miles from Lenoir, with the moat de- ! lightful surroundings, and the pur- eat atmosphere that ever mortal man could enjoy. Blowiug Rock is only a few hundred varus from the Hotel, and from there the pleasure seeker can stand and see. as it were, a world of peak9,raiaing their heads tc the clouds. From that point you can stand and see the old 4,fatherof mountains," rais ing his head far above all other peaks, and overlooking all his children as it were, and a little to th rear and left is ths old "moth er of mountains", with all her modesty. Still a little farther to the left and rtar is Table Bock, standing there to welcome his guests home. And still little farther to the rear you see the old Rhone with his nead still higher in the air, and as it were, overlooking all the other peaks, and then look ing in a Northerly direction you will see "Flat-top" with all his grandure and beauty, and in every direction your eye is cast, it will fall upon innumerable peaks, and down between those peaks you will see beautiful little valleys, many of which are in cultivation by some old mountaineer, who is as happy and as well contented as if he lived in the finest palace of a King. When one stands and casts his eyes over those vast worlds of mountains, just as far as his eyes can see, his thoughts will naturally run back and he will ask himself the question. How long have those mountains been there i And there must have been an all wise God, who created them in all their beau ty and granduer. It is impossible for word3 to express the beauty and granduer of the mountains of western North Carolina. It seems as though a man ought to never die if he could stay at Green Park Hotel, and dine on the good things that our able manager, Mr. Post, and his good wife have prepared for his guests,and breathe the pure air, and drink the pure cool water that flows out of the mountain side, as clear as a crys tal, and so cold you can hardly drink it. Green Park 19 located on a beau tiful level place, with the most beautiful lawns surrounding it, such as one may expect to see in our lowr lands. Out in front of the Hotel is a beautiful lawn tennis court, for the young people to a muse themselves, when they get tired looking at the mountains. The music is furnished by the Shelby String Band, which is made up of three brothers. When the guests get tired of hearing waltzes &c. and want something new, they call on Mr. Fred Marks, and he will then give them his bagpipe, which he does with hie violin and mouth, and it would make an Ital ion ashamed ot himself. Then next, Mr. Post will come around with his "little self" and give some of his dry wit which would make an Egytian mummy smile if he could hear it. If you on coming to the moun tains and want to stop at Green Park, and of course you do if you come, you had better engage a room at one, or you will be left. Evervbody come, you will live to die with old age if you will come and spend your summers at Green Park. Tar Heel.
