A curiosity.

We have all observed at times the ingenuity.
dexterity, nimble activity and indomitable perse-
verance with which spider first lays out his
diagram and then weaves, with almost geo.
metricaI precision, his delicate web, from the
centre of which, quietly ensconsed, he is daily
to emerge and reap the benefit Of the harvest
that his labor may gather. The gradual manu-
facture of these delicate and yet so stmmetrical
webs is, to an idle mind, interesting to contem-
plate and study.
But aside from the ordinary labor OF the spider,
our attention was called, day or two since, to q
piece Of work of this nature which aroused our
surprise and wonder. Capt. John Petrie. near
Dryades Market, has dark wine C oset in the
rear of his saloon. After an interval OF only q
few days. ON enter ng the closet rich and heavy

some ten feet high, to the heads immediately
above the faucets of two barrels. IL was re-

PalaiS RDyal.

Among the many changes to take place soon
on the grand boulevard none will be more strix-
ing and more indicative of the good time to come
than the swaying to the breeze the banners OF the
grand "Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for so many years been the popu
lar proprietor of the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street seems to have had his faith shaken in re-
publican institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with one fell swoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He is making prep
arations for the opening Of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place IN the'
Southern country. Levy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and as it has been
known for its promptness in filing orders and
the DO ite attention Of the clerks and the place to
get everything, 90 viii the PAlsis Royal grow
into popular favor, for We will see in the large
and gilded sigus that are to sdorn the building
evidences Of a new era, prosperity which We

plenty Of people outside of laboring

Intermittent Fever

Is so common in the country as scarcely
to need comment. The causes which
produce it are such as cold, irregular
living, over exertion, low spirits, night
air, exposure to miasmatic eXhalations,
&c. In large cities where edge tools
and agricultural implements are manu-
featured, the grinder protects his lungs
from the injurious effects of the dust
flying of the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he de,
sends the shaft provides himself with a
safety lamp to guard against flre.damp.
Now it Is equally necessary for those
who are brought in contact with any of
the causes leading to intermittent fever,
to provide themselves with that we'll
known and highly esteemed remedy
against it, the home stomach bitters.

Recently we visited the ancient city OF

struck with astonishment at the duliness
OF matters and things there, and the UNI
thrift OF the place. It's apparent to all
that a Touring mill is one OF the greatest
necessities of the place. IL Is also APP
parent that it would pay. Why shouldn't
it? The wheat is there and it is the staple
Of that part OF Alexander county. A mill
at Thcbes will pay, and why it Is that
some one don't build mill in Thebes, Is
a problem we cannot solve. We throw out
these hints hoping to induce some mill
man to put up a mill there. "A hint ia

The Union county fair tor the year 1877
was a good one, but is now numbered
with things past. We can but think that
the institution is a good one. When we
came to Union county, "a years ago, we
found farming, Tor the most part, decid-
eddy primitive in all its ramltications.
Then the stock OF all kinds was OF the
lowest grade OF the "scrub kind" To-
day the case il quite different, our county
producing as fine stock of all classes as
any other county in the State. We attri.
butte this change all to our county fairs.
True it is that the |. &. railroad has
had much to DO in stimulating our farm
els to make improvements in agriculture;
but the improvements in stock is almost
wholly attributable to our county fairs.

who is go.ahead and well to do farmer.
He informed us that he is making the

a gentleman and man well qualified.
