stale or unsound fish on the streets In
my judgment, fish brought up and open

Monday, and do not hesitate to warn

Remember that my fish arrive here

A Sensible Family.

A family named johnson living in
Washington county, were ali taken down
with hux in very sggraysted form,
Having seen notice in one Of the co6f.
try papers in regard to DIR. Lytles Elixir,
the medicine was at once sent for, and
although the delay in procuring it came
near proving fatal in two of the cases, yet
faithful use Of this we'll known remedy
resulted in the speedy control Of the dis.
ease and restoration to health of every
member Of the family. Ata time when
tux and all other bowel troubles are 90
prevalent LYtle's Elixir ought to be kept
ready for use.

FROM OUR COMMITTEE.

Il
A telegram from Capt. Matt At
kinson, received last night, dated
Baltimore, Nov. 18th, says.
"Our interview with President
Garrett and the Mayor was very
satisfactory and encouraging in
deed"
So far, very good.
Mr.Ludwig, of Virginia called on
us Yesterday. He is here looking
out foI the practicability of estab.
fishing W >rks here for the manu-
flcture OF agricultural implements,
and q general feandry business
We felt bound to encourage him,
for We know of no point that offers
superior advantages to Asheville
Suoh works are just such as are
wanted here on proper scale.
Mr.. G. W. Page exposes some Of
the finest beef we have ever seen in
this market and displays it to the
best advantage. The best of it is
that it is no exceptional thing. He
has made his arrangements to keep
up his supply of the best meats,
beef, mutton and pork. We are
glad to say that as a whole, our
meat market shows great improve
ment over the past.
Turner's proves a very convenient
retreat and resource in had weather.
1t is good port in a storm; very
pleasant in a calm. The little 10
cent lunch counter has developed
into the excellent restaurant, where
variety of substantials and delica-
cies is served up in capital style.
But our bon viVants have found
Turner out.
A telegram from the signal Office at
Washington warns us Of a coming cold
wave. Tomorrow therefore, perhaps
very early in the day we may look for
rapid fall of temperature, with snow
hurries. The warning enables US to
brace up for the change.
Don't forget the entertainment at
the Opera House tonight, given
for the benefit of the Methodist
Church. Something pleasant is
promised.
The dull weather yesterday made
everything DUH, and little news to

OF all surprises to which the reading
public has been treated by Mr.. Alden's
surprising Literary RcUolution, perhaps
the most remarkable is the last.
Two of the choicest and most famous
books in modern literature, Washington
Irving's 1.-THE Sketch Book and "Knick-
erbocker's History of New York." are
just published in style worthy of this
most widely celebrated and universally
honored of American authors. The two
books together form One of the Nine vol
umes of his works also Just published.
The type is large, loaded, beautiful; the
two volumes bouud in one comprise COG
pages; the binding is Half Morocco, mar
bled edges. The only other edition in the
market that at all compares with this or
rivals it, is advertised by the publisher at
$500 per volume.
Mr. Alden's price when sold il sets of
nine volumes, is little less than S1.00 per
volume. He now offers this single speci-
men volume Until September l, 1856, for
the price (if it can be called pric9) of 90
cents, by mail, postage paid.
This offer is Without Restriction or
Condition; if there are n hundred thous-
and, or half a million of those who take
pleasure in the works of Washington Irv-
ing, who want the volume, he says he will
fiji their orders as fast as his printers and
binders can turn them out.
If you want TO complete your set after
you have received this volume, you can,
of course do so by paying the additional
price for the set. The Object of this ex-
traordinary "Coup d Etst" is of course,

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 16, '86.
The first controller has decided that
out of the appropriation of 100000
made for the present year to carry out
the provisions of the act establishing
the bureau of animal industry the
commissioner of agriculture cannot
expend any fraction for the purchase
of cattle not known to be diseased but
which have been simply contiguous to
cattle diseased with pleuro pneumonia,
and can only purchase and destroy
diseased animals when in his judg.
ment it may be essential to prevent
the spread of pleuro pneumonia from
one state to another. He has also de.
cided that the commissioner cannot
out Of said appropriation pay the diff
ference between the estimated value Of
cattle and their value for beef, when
they have been slaughtered for beet,

Indianapolis from Washington last

THERE is gruesome and distressing
story afoat to the effect that President
Cleveland's order warning federal of.

control nominations was aimed, not at
the regulation spOilsmen and machine
politicians, but at old Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton, who rushed
out to Indiana the other day to work
against the denomination of Congress.

If it is true, it not only sheds a new
light upon the Presidents action, but
it places Judge Edgerton under the
more or less painful necessity of haul
ing himself up before his own com.
