AN APPEAL FOR THE WooD-HAULER.
How we do pity this industrious
class, when we see them standing
day by day in the locality allotted
to them, very properly, too, by the
city authorities. and patiently wait
ing for the coming or passing by of
a customer, exposed to the fierce,
relentless north-wester, pelted with
snow and sleet, or drenched with
rain, without shelter, or the chance
of shelter! We cannot complain at
the cost of wood, when we know at
what sacrifice of comfort it is provi-
ded. Our authorities are humane,
and do not willingly infiict suffer-
ing. Can they not, will they not,
provide a shelter for those men from
the inclemency of the weather? At
small cost they could provide a
shed for shelter, in which the team.
sters could stand around their own
fires, made of their own wood. We
are sure that those who sit around
their comfortable firesides at h ,ne
would enjoy them more if they
knew that the soft mantle of char
ity had been thrown around the
shoulders of those who now suffer
so much to serve them.
Please let this good work be done

NORTHERN SPoRrsMEN AT THE
SOUTH.
Doc Hutchinson, the noted restora-
teur, has handed us a copy Of the
Pittsfeld Evening Journal from
which we clip the following account
of DR.. Paddock's hunting party:
''Dr. Paddock's party who went
to Western North Carolina, among
the Smoky mountains, made fam
Gus by Egbert Craddock, returned
this morning. They encamped
among the mountains, five miles
from the nearest habitation, and had
line sport killing deer, wild turkeys
and smaller game. One of the at
tendant sportsmtn killed a black
bear. The party consisted of DR..
Paddock, Messrs. Pingree and Bolt
wood, returned via Charleston, S. C..
Mr., Wood, also of the party, is ex>
pected to day, he having left the
party to attend to some business III

Judge Gudger gives us some in
teresting Items ofhis judicial career.
He has been on the bench for lit
tie over seven years, in which time
he has oficiated in every county
but one Durham. He has had ex-
traerdinary, and it may be said,
painful experiences in capital cases.
The cases tried here during the
term closed yesterday make sixty
as the snm total. This includes all
the grades of capital crime. Out of
the number convicted three have
been hung; some cases were CONS
mitted from hanging to imprison-
ment for life; some were convicted
of manslaughter; some were acquit-
ted; and some escaped punishment
through appeal. In his career the
Judge has proved himself an able
and a conscientious official, and has
won confidence and respect wherev-
er he has gone.

A Dublin telegram says the Express,
commenting upon Mr.. Gladstone's pro-
posed plan Of home rule for Ireland, says:
"Home rule far Ireland will be granted
at the risk of civil war, and will certainly
be productive of eternal frictions,
A London telegram says private advi-
ces received by commercial houses here
from time to time leave no room for
doubt that Russia is steadily and delib-
erately strengthening her military posi-
ton in Turkestan and along the north
disputed boundary region of Afghanis'
tan. The tribes are being won over to
the Russian interest by the methods so
long and go successfully practiced by the
willy military agents of the Gear, and
Russia is losing nothing by playing a
waiting game.

Stock Law, full proceedings o.
which, as represented by the meet.
ing, appear in this issue of the C1T-
IzEN. ESQ. Robert Patton, presided
and Mr.. 7. J. Gambler was secretary
Capt. Matt Atkinson, Independent
and Messrs. Riley West, VIM. Hen.
derson and T. j. Gambler, Republi-
can, spoke. The speeches were
more bitter than We expected. to hear
and all, while including the stock
law grievance, were based upon the
same old anti-Demsc,atic cry,
"couuty government" &C., &C. &c
While some of our people are homes
i tly opposed to this matter, we must
say some of the original and pers-
fstent enemies of Democracy are a
little 'too previous" in their efforts
to convert honest men, who may
dislike one thing, to the endorse
ment of a whole concern which in>
wolves very many very obnox-
ious things. This particular ques-
ton of no-fence can be very
we'll, and will be, settled by the good
men of this county, at the same time
observing their party allegiance,
and should not be a party question;
but the effort of some of the "old
regulars" who have fought every
thing the good people of the State
have advocate d, to Jump into their
little family disturbances and un-
dertake to suit themselves, and to
suit their old party demands, will
not be taken in by the people of
Buncombe. Messrs. Atkinson and
Gambler had much to say against
both the republican and democratic
parties, and in favor of new"
party. afr. Billy Henderson
made square out anti-democratic
speech, and Mr.. West made a fight
as republican of twenty years
standing against the attempt of the
"few to take away the rights of the
many, "-the same old cry we have
heard be>free. A good citizen who
is strong anti-stock law man,
while the speaking was going on,
walked out and remarked, Il am
an anti stock law man, but d-n
me if / want to go to the
other party led by those men
(meaning the speakers for my
rights" The county commissioners,
the best citizens of Buncombe, ,wheth
er for or against the Stock-law, de-
sire their matters to be settled fair
ly and justly; but good men, good
citizens, good Republicans and Dem
ocrats, regarding this fence question
as >lartison, will not submit the
question to designing men who have
only their own personal promotion,
regardless Of consequences in view,
to controle and direct. Let all good
citizens keep cool about this matter,
demand their privileges, which is
right, but be sure they go about it
in way to obtain them. One side
has as many rights as another,and
has the same rights to appeal for
hearing. But keep the professional
and standing office seekers and
demogogues to the rear.

mound), one of the posts occupied by the
Russians near Penjdeh, at the junction
of the Khushk ana the Murghab, huge,
gray, artificial mound, upward of 800
yards in length by 100 in breadth and
more than thirty in height, rises above
the fat, dreary plain around, surmounted
by the crumbling earthen walls of an
Afghan fort. But of all these singular
cairns the most remarkable is that on
which stands the famous border fortress
of Quetta, the KEY of the Bolan Pass,
now held by an English garrison. Eastern
legends unanimously attribute this im-
mense work to ''Sirundur Rumi" ALEX
ander the Great, and the popular tradi-
ton has lately been confirmed by the
discovery of great number OF Greek
coins, spear heads, bronze ornaments,
etc., during the digging of trench
around the base of the wall. --AesO York
