A Day of Interest to the Ladies.

The annual opening of fall and winter mil Emery at Miss M. E. J. Byrnes' on Orange street began yesterday morning (and contin-
 ues to-day), and from 10 o'clock onward till half-past there was an unceasing tide of
 ladies to this celebrated millinery emporium,
 famed in our city for the most delightful of
 hats. The present display far exceeds in
 brilliancy any previous exhibit. Admiration
 is excited constantly as each new specimen
 of the acknowledged taste of the establish
 ment meets the eye. The mind is hardly ap-
 proaching decision as to the supreme loyeli-
 ness of a particular hat before the eye is
 greeted by another which rivals the other and
 asserts its claim to be admired and inspected
 with all that interest and mental inventory of it's peculiar fitness for the face that views it,
 that pertains to ladies on the eve of buying a
 new hat Carriage after carriage, with spir- tied, mettlesome horses attached, rolled up to the door and congratulations were many.
 It was wonder also how so many prefer ences could be met so perfectly. With such
 rarely perfect miscellaneous display ladies acknowledge that they can do far better here than by a tiresome trip to New York. Home talent is thus patronized and encouraged. Miss B. gives her personal attention to every detail, and special attention to orders to full fill each special wish. A fine stock of mate rials-ostrich plumes, fancy feathers, plush es plain and fancy, etc.-awaits the pleasure
 of customers, and the department of mourn l ing hats is of the customary fine character.

The Whiskey Question.

We publish elsewhere in this issue very
strong appeal Of the temperance people to
the citizens Of the State. The act passed at
the recent session of the Legislature. to pro-
hibit the sale of whiskey outside Of incorpor-
ated cities, towns and villages is q good law,
but it will be worthless unless enforced by
public sentiment. The Incorporate use of
whiskey is acknowledge by all rational peo-
pie to be the greatest evil in our land. Fully
nine-tenths Of the homcdes, burglaries ar
sons and other criminal efenses, are trace
able directly to whiskey. 1t follows then
that nine-tenths of the expenses of our couts,
which amounts to about two thirds of the or
dinary tax Of the counties is to be placed to
the credit Of whiskey. We have heard some
OF the worst sots in the country express their
approval Of the law and say that they would
vote' If they had an opportunity, to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of whiskey in the
entire State. Yet there is tolerably strong
sentiment against the law, and various de
vices will be adopted to evade it. To make
1T effective it must be enforced That public
sentiment which forced the passage of the
law must now see that it is en- forced against
ell violators or it will be dead letter on our
statute books. This appeal, 80 far as it looks
towards the enforcement of the present law
we heartily commend. AS to n total prohi-
bition law we do not know whether public
sentiment is ripe for it,or not. but the tenden.
cy is evidently in that direction, and if those
who have the cause NJ heart will but lead
wisely we have no doubt they will in the end
accomplish their purpose.

Arrested.

The engineer and conductor Of the recent
freight trnin that ran into the first freight train
ahead ofthem at Paw Creek Trostle, causi ng
the death Of FIVE passengers, have been ar
rested in CharlottemN. c., charged with
murder. We hardly think it probable that
either of them caVSr will be convicted, for
the engineer swears that the track was 80
slippery it was Impossible to stop his engine
with sand, locked wheels and reverse. He
certainly stood bravely to his post, as he was
at the throttle when his engine struck. But
We think it is we'll to have q thorough judicial
investigation 80 as to sift all the facts, and if
guilt attaches to any one, let them suffer the
penalties of the law.

gineer and Superintendent, TO Cincinnati and
other points to represent the interest of the
road. These gentlemen will leave here for

developments, we think something important

TCoMMUNIOATED.1 [
An Urgent Appeal to Every Lover of
Order in the State.

The recent action Of our Legislature on the
subject Of ardent spirits calls for the gratitude
OF every good citizen for, though the law els
acted may not be as stringent as many desired,
IL 10 OF inestimable value as an evidence Of the
tendency of the enlightened public sentiment
OF our Commonwealth This enactment con-
spires with other facts to render the present
the most auspicious time to step still further
forward in the march toward reform and So
briefly in all our borders.
1t is conceded that there is q powerful
struggle now going on in the public mind :;
and 1t Is believed that our law makers will do
much greater things for us next winter, if we
show them that we will uphold them in their
efforts to rid the country of the curse of rum
Let us rally to their support. Let us aid
as far as In us lies, in enforcing the present
law. Let ne tell them, when they reassemble
OF our earnest, anxious longing for the total
Punishment of ardent spirits from our State.
Think how highly God has favored us in
soil, in climate, in water power, in mineral
wealth, in scenery, in everything. Think how
instantly ample prosperity and undisturbed
enjoyment would rest upon our people, if the
dreadful deamon of drink were driven from
our limits. Think that nine>tenths of our
criminal expenses result from drunkness See
how our jails, our penitentiary, our poor
houses, and our asylum are crowded with sad
victims of the habit Of drink. Think of the
lives of innocent ones jeopardized or lost by
the drunkards violence Shall we longer
quietly witness reason dethroned, property
wasted, confidence destroyed. happiness turn
cd to woe, hopes blosted, lives lost and souls
consigned te perdition? Shall sce not rather
unite IN general effort to bring Msee euils to an
end?
1t IS, therefore, proposed that we begin at
once 70 circulate for signatures an earnest pc.
tition to our LIE gisature to pass at the next
session law totally prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of ardent spirits as bever-
age. Every reader of this appeal, white or
colored, male or female. old or young, clerical
or lay, who is willing to circulate or cause to
be circulated one or more Of these petitions,
is earnestly invited to write Immediately to
our Grand Worthy Patriarch, Rev. s. LANDER,
Williamson, 8. c., who will promptly send as
many headings as each one will agree to use.
Let us marshal our forces, and move for
ward to victory.
