AsHEvILLE N08Acco MARKET.

Yesterday both receipts and offerings
were &c d;but it is fair to say that prices
weakened somewhat and the spirit of
the market was dull. This was due in
q large measure to advices from abroad.
All the markets are glutted, and as the
manuf acturing season has not begun,
buyers have some time to hold before
they can realize. Something like an
ice gorge has thus formed which must
break before the current can move
along with its former briskness, Farmers
may be wise to hold back awhile until
activity is resumed,which will certainly
be the case; for the real wants of the
market are not yet met.

No FUNDS FoR INFoR NATION.
Congressman Johnston has been
exerting himself to secure weather
signal stationsat the various towns
in his district reached by telegraph,
and had secured orders from the
Weather Bureau for such stations,
provided the people of the commun-
ity desiring it would furnish flags
and have them raised and lowered,
the superintendent to furnish the
information by telegraph. Gen l
Hazen has notified. Mr.. Johnston
that the Department will be unable
to send the telpgrams, for want of
funds, and hence the stations need
not be established. Waynesville
and ss.Headersonville, we believe,
have procured these flags, and Ashe-
vile was. arranging to do SO. We
hope Mr.. Johnston will get through
an appropriation enableing the peo1
pie to have this information. This
is the only way the Department can
extend its usefulness to the agrieul-
tural- districts. and it should be
done.

She is Now His Wife.

Congressman Stone, of Kentucky, who
walks about the House and up and down
the avenue on crutches having lost a leg
in the Confederate seryice-is expecting
his wife to arrive here shortly from her
Kentucky home, a Washington cor
respondent writes. The story of Stones
marriage is a strange and interesting one,
and proves again that there are interest
ing incidents in real life as are told in
story books. Stone was a Confederate
soldier, and at a battle in Cynthiana, Ken
lucky, was badly wounded. As he fell his
hat went one way and his musket another,
and he found himself unable to move to
regain either. 1t was a scorching summer
day, and he was obliged to lie on that hot
hillside exposed to the intense heat of
the blazing sun, unable even TO protect
his face except by throwing his arms
across his eyes. His life-blood was
rapidly running away, and he became
weaker and weaker, and soon was unable
to speak or move. The blazing sun which
fell on his head and face was adding un-
told suffering, in his enfeebled condition.
After the fight he was left with the dead
and dying, for it was supposed he could
not live more than few minutes or hours.
After the troop had withdrawn some of
the people living in the vicinity of the
battlefield passed over it, relieving the
necessities of the wounded as far as pos
sible. As they passed near where Stone
lay suffering in the hot sun, unable to
speak, young lady in the party noticed
him and the sufferings the sun must pro-
duce if he were still conscious. Telling
her companions she believed he was still
alive, she procured the ramrods from four
muskets lying by, and sticking them in
the ground near his head, fastened over
the top a scarf from her shoulders to
break the rays of the sun. When the
wounded were gathered from the field
it was found that Stone was still living,
and he was sent to the hospital. There
was long struggle between life anu
death, but he finally rallied and slowly re-
gained strength, after the amputation of
hi. right leg. The residents of the town
| and vicinity did all they could for the
suffers in the hospital, sending them food
| and delicacies and often visiting them.
One day, after he had gained sufficient
strength to speak and notice those who
visited the hospital, he saw among the
visitors the young lady who had probably
saved his life by her kindness when he
lay helpless and speechless on the battle
field. When opportunity offered, he
| spoke to her of the occurrence and
| thanked her for her kindness. The &C
| quaintance thus begun ripened into love
and she is now his wife.

Dishonesty of the G. o. p.
Chicago Herald.

The contemplate dishonesty of repub-
lican politics is well illustrated by the at
titude of nearly all republican conven-
tlons on the question of pensions. AL
most without exception they have de
nounced" the president for his refusal to
do justice to crippled soldiers and war
widows" as witnessed in his vetoes of pen
sion bill.
During the last session of congress Mr..
Cleveland signed bill which will put
about S7,O00,000 in the pockets of war
widows every year. OF special pension
bills over six hundred were presented to
him, more by several hundred than had
ever before been passed by congress, and
he vetoed about one hundred of them.
The reasons assigned for these vetoes
were ample. Either the applicants we're
frauds, or by applying to the pension
bureau they could get their names on the
list. The pension legislation of this
country has been very favorable to all
honest claimants, and such as have not
been able to get their names on the rolls
by this time may, as a rule, be set down
as imposters.
If every man or woman who can secure
influence enough with Congressman to
get a special bill introduced is to be taken
in at once and given as high a pension
as may be asked for, of course it will be
an easy matter for Congress and Presi-
dent to open the Treasury. But if the
claims of these petitioners are to be
passed on honestly, and the imposters
sent about their business, it will become
necessary for somebody to defeat at
least one hundred out of every six
hundred of such bills. If to guard the
interests of the people, and at the same
time protect the thousands of worthy
pensioners from association with desert
ers and bounty jumpers, is to manifest
hostility to the soldier, then it is high
time that we had a new political diction-
arY here.
