A SCHEME AT THE HUB.
Movement in Boston that will be a BO
n2Eza to the Old North State.
Boston Commercial Bulletin J

Boston commercial 6uttcttn
Among other movements brought
about by the prominence Of North
Carolina in the American Exposition,
anu by the e&-oI1encc OF It's uisPiay, 10
one for the organization of society
which shall be the nucleus for immi-
grafton from the North to that State.
It has long been apparent that there
are people in New England who would
like to establish themselves permanent
ly at the South, but do not know
where to 90, or where to obtain the
information that would enable them
to decide. To meet this want, a few
gentlemen, who have had the matter
under advisement for more than a
year, have formed society which is
called the Atkinson Colonial Associa-
ton.
It is not joint stock company, or a
capitalized partnership, but simply q
voluntary organization for the purpose
Of bringing together all who are think
ing of migrating to the South, that
they may form themselves into colo
nies, and secure the best possible terms
for the transportation of their families
and belongings to their new homes.
The name adopted by the association
is a tribute to Mr.. Edward Atkinson
of this city, who more than all other
northern men has called public atten-
ton to the vast and varied resources
Of those Piedmont and mountain Sec
tions of the South which offer the
most inviting field to be found in this
country for men of thrift, energy and
| enterpAise.

DOCTOR TYRE YORK.
Col. Wheeler thinks Him the Strongest
Man the Republicans Can Nomi-
nate for Governor.

! (correspondenceef the Raleigh Chronicle.)
W1LKEsBoRo. n. c., Oct. II, 1888.
! Col w. HI. Wheeler, Collector of
Revenue in the 9TH District, recently
expressed the opinion that Tyre York
possessed more points Of availability
as candidate for Governor than any
other man he could mention of the
! Republican party in North Carolina.
When it is remembered that Colonel
Wheeler was bitterly antagonistic (po-
itically) to DR.. York during the last
az,n,pai@n. this statement viii sound
peculiarly striking. Ic. II asrs-I-,.,l-l
edIY manof much strength in his
section, or ne never would have car
ried his district, over SO popular man
as Robbins, and that, too, when there
were dissentions in the Republican
ranks.
In that campaign he rode from
place to place on the back of little
shaggy brown mule. He is tall, and
a typical mountaineer. His people
1--we him with devotion equal to that
shown for Zeb Vance. He tells joke
the genuine tar heel variety-with
rare vivacity, but is quiet and sedate
when off the stump. He knows the
needs of his constituents, and they can
rest assured he will attend to them in
Congress He will hardly be a con-
spicuous figure on the floor of the
House, but in the rooms Of the COM
mittees he will put III some pretty eff
fectiye work.
He is really a Democrat still, thoug h
Republicans and Democrats both
elected him to office. He is decidedly
of the David Davis style of politician,
and considers himself subservient to
no particular party, though it is gen.
orally tEeught here that he will, to a
great extent, vote with the Republi-
| cans.
1t is impossible to ascertain his pref
erence as to the Speakership, or to get
at his ideas on the tariff. He certain
" believes in the maxim that 'silence
is golden" He will have little or no
opposition for denomination among
the Republicans, and it will take q
strong Democrat to beat him.

with the fact that Winston is one OF
the most industrious and prosperous
towns in the State.

An Anti-Duelist.

There is a man in New Orleans who
makes good living as q compromiser
of quarrels. He is q sharp lawyer, with
aconciliatory temper and an oily tongue.
While other men are stirring up strife
he is turning away wrath-for a con-
sideration. He made great deal of
money in the good old days, SO fast re-
ceding, when duel before breakfast
was as indispensable to the happiness
of the Crescent City as fish on Friday.
Hot with Wine, two young blOods would
quarrel The lie would pass, and then
challenge. Now, you see things more
clearly through the cool gray morning
air than through the cigarette smoke Of
cafe, and very often this clearness of
vision comes while you look through
the quiyering blue atmosphere at the
sparkling stars of the midnight sky.
Hence it was that our friend the peace
maker was never out of job. His title
was second" usually, but his business
was to see that no necessity arose for
his services as such. One case is good
sample. A young society man had
called another society man a coward,
with the avowed purpose of making
him fight duel. OF course, both were
well branded when the insult was Civ
en-. A challenge passed at once; but by
the time it had been received MIR. In
sulter had grown cool and cautious.
He asked Mr.. Compromise to act as his
second.
Now" said the latter, Ito come
to point at once, do you want to

young man, II don't"
"Do you want to 60 on the field at
all, asked the second; '.because it will
cost you more to get out of going on
the field than to get out of the duel af-
ter you're once face to face"
Il don't want to 60 on the field at
all, said the principal, land 1 don't
care what it costs to keep off,"
Very WELL" said the second; 'now
sit down and write just such an accept
ance as 1 tell you to write"

why, that's muzzle to breast; mur-
der outright!' exclaimed the principal.
'Write what l tell you," said the SEQ
ond.
When it was written the second car
ried it himself to the second of the chal-
lenger.
"Why, this is butchery." said the
latter second; ''butchery in cold
blood. Neither man could possibly sur
vive."
''Then do understand that you wish
to negotiateP" asked the other in his
blandest tone.
Eve certainly do" said the challen-
gers second.
very well, very we'll; I'll see
about it, y said the challenged party's
second.
OF course, that duel never came off.

third, very pretty chapter, told how
they took a walk together in, the eve-

because the sun went down and they
couldn't see the corporation line. Il
was q very romantic story, but he
spoiled it in the next chapter. After
tho lovers were appropriately seated in

it was night. the young man said: :''Adel-

Whara William Black Shnnld Go.

A few adventurous Englishmen have
borne its reputation to the old country,
and the fame of Alaska as wonderfully
picturesque region is even better known
across the seas than on the American
Continent. Lord Dutferin made a trip
up the British Columbia and Alaska
Coast while Governor-Generalo of Cana
da and his descriptions of the Archipel-
ago and its scenery are among the
most vivid and enthusiastic sketches
that he has written of the New World.
| When a second William Black shall
have arisen to paint the wonders of its
high mountains, it's dense forests, its
clear, emerald waters, its skies and
fogs and sunsets; to tempt the angler
with his tales of the great salmon; to
excite the hunter with hints of the deer,
| the bear, the mountain sheep and
rutfed grouse that crowd these untrod-
den wilds, and to lure the artist and the
idler on to these shores of eternal beau
ty, the Scotch Hebrides will be forgot
ten, and the placid waters of these
picturesque channels and inlets will re-
fleet the shapely hulls of unnumbered
yachts. A summer spent in the Alex
ander Archipelago will mean moro to
the fashionable and aesthetic mind than
six seasons Off the coast of Maine, and
two winters on a tedious dahabeah of
the Nile. The seasick sufferers on
other salt waters can sail the brine here

experiencing qualm unless a great

separates British Columbia and Alaska.
