CHICKENS.

CHICKENS.
We select this fowl subject for discuss
ion to-day, with W which to adorn tale for
our young boys, particularly the girls, of
our good country. In the philosophical
but poetic language of Bill Nye, we won
der how many boys and girls could tell
rs how much profit there is or ought to
be in a well-regulated hennery. One
good young hen, for instance, will cost q
quarter. She ought to, and will if pro-
perly cared for, raise four interesting
families of chicks per year, besides doing
other domestic duties in the way of egg
supplies. Four dozen chickens would
thus be prepared for market, which, at
lowest market price in our delightful and
invigorating Asheville climate would
fetch to the enterprising maiden 81 20;
and all on an investment of a quarter
for the hen; rooster is also considered
necessary adornment. and, we suppose
one such might cost another quarter, so
that on an investment of fifty cents re-
turn of $7.20 per annum is obtained.
Under our constitution, both State and
National, and under our present system
of county government, one good rooster
is allowed to have. and is popularly sup
posed to be able to properly. provide for
i've wives. Now if our aforesaid young
friend, either male or female. should
haye five hens instead of one, and, as
aforesaid, properly attend to them, she
will have as the product of one years
labor Just five times forty-eight chicks
for market, or two hundred and forty,
which, at fifteen cents each would fetch
the profitable and Christmas suggesting
sum of thirty six dollars. Allowing one
and half dollars for the first outlay,
the hens lay would give nice profit Of
$3.50. 1t is only matter of arithmetic
ias to how much could be made according
to the number ofhens and roosters EN-
ployed. And let our friends remember
they always have splendid market, al
the above prices, and frequently higher,
in Asheville. for nice, fat fowls. How
many of our young friends in Western
North Carolina win go into this business
next year?

HoNoRs ARE EASY.

HoNoRs ARE EASY.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilson AdUance writes:
ut is the impression here now in
both Republican and Democratic
circles that Mr.. Richmond NJ. Pear
son, of Buncombe, will not aspire to
be Speaker of the House. During
his canvass for the Legislature he
distinctly stated that he would not
have been a candidate but for the
fact, that after saying he would not
run, Mr.. Johnstone Jones accepted
the nomination for the lower house.
It was personal canvass and it now
seems that Mr.. Pearson is willing to
let it end, and to continue as a Dem~
ocrat. If such be his position-and
that is the belief of a majority Of
leading Denocrats-it does him
great credit and he deserves to be
commended for it. Mr. Pearson has
been rendered everything the Repub-
licans could give. He has been
courted and f1attered by Republi>
can leaders and promised the norIii.
nation for Governor in 1888. They
have painted the future bright for
him and pledged themselves tomake
him their leader 1t is an alluring
prize, from some standing points.
1t is not every ambitious man who
would throw away the offer of lead
ership even of so corrupt a party as
the Republican to remain true to
his political principles, and if Mr.
Pearson does this-many say he
will and l trust 80 and if he says SO
l do not doubt his world shall
honor him as / honor no other man
who has broken away, even for a
compaign, from the regular Demo-
cratic organization"
This is all very nice; but we must
condemn those republican leaders"
who have rendered him everything
they can give" and promised to-
make him their leader" thus
lead the gentleman into temptation.
We can see him now as, with a
graceful wave of the hand he re-
piled, "get thee hence, Satan," and
can but be impressed with that
"side gesture" as compared with.his
movements with those leaders but a
few short weeks ago. We really
begin to fear something has been
sold; whether it be the republicans
ca Mr.. Pearson time will develop.

The ten days leave of absence ob-
tanned by Congressman James w.
Reid has expired, and it seems that
he has not returned to his duties at
Washington; nor has he been at
home. We further understand that
his friends have no knowledge of his
whereabouts. They are greatly dis
tressed not only at the financial EN-.
barrassments of Mr.. Reid but also at
his strange disappearance.-Neaus

A SERIOUS AFFRAY

Occurred Sunday afternoon near
the Banner Warehouse, between
VIM. Townsend and - Pike, q
workman in Graham's shoe factory
in which the latter was stabbed Sc
verely in the lower part of the alb
domen near the right groin. The
wound is so serious that it will re-
quire some days to determine wheth-
er or not it will prove fatal. Town
send was arrested, and lodged in the
guard house; and after an examinae
ton, yesterday morning he was
transferred to the county Jail to
awaitresults. He has an unenvia-
BILE record in similar affairs.

supplied with Deeds of CONVEYANCE.
Notwithstanding yesterday was dry and
somewhat cold, the sales of tobacco were
quite large, and for good qualities, prices
continued good.
Mr.. A. NJ. Stokley- from Big Creek,
Tennessee, called to see US yesterday.
Heisa large tobacco planter, and his crops
and those of his neighbors are finding
their way to Asheville.
Mr.. Geo. A. Jones, than whom M
young lawyer in the West gives brighter
pormise, or who has made more sub.
stantial professional progress, is here on
q visit from his home in Franklin.
MTsA B. Allison, of Charleston, Swain
county. called on us yesterday. He sold
his crop of tobacco here. He thinks he
sold to at least one hundred dollars
adYantaged over what he would have got
at the market at which he mas been sell
ing.
Remember that next Saturday il
Christmas day. Devote this week tc
preparing to.do good and making otherl
happy on that day and don't forget that
little bill We have-sent out. The Bibfs
says, 'The poor ye have with you al
ways"
The snow on the streets and roads
has disappeared, leaving them ir
rather suneanny condition, contin-
ued by the nightly freezing of the
ground. The mountains and north
ern slopes are still white with the
coa6ng laid on fortnight ago.
Mr.. John OFT, Secretary of the
Virginia Fertilizing Company o.
Richmond, Va, i an. expert in all
that relates to tobacco market. He
sent us a circular of advice to farms
ers relating to the next crop. The
day we received it we had published
our views on the same topic. II
appears we had followed Identical
the same line of thought. We are
gratifed that our views and that OF
so eminent an authority as Mr.. OFT
so exactly coincide. With twos uch
authorities, the planters must be
convinced.

A boy from Russell county, Tenn,
visited Knoxville a few days ago

Mr.. II. H. Taylor whose barn was
crushed by sthe late snow, has a

in the city yesterday. From him we
learn that the loss viii be heavier

One half interest in the company

The Christmas exhibition of this
establishment opened a week ago.
1t has been crowded every day; it is
still crowded; the novelty does not
wear off; curiosity grows more ex-
cited. The wonders and beauties of
glass ware, china ware, silver ware,
become more striking as the pro-
ducts of fine taste and artistic skill
are dwelt upon. But these, though
very beautiful, exquisite creations
of color, material and workmanship
are not novelties. They are only
better than we have been accustom-
ed to see; that is all. But when you
go into the Japanese room, you are
in another hemisphere. You are
amid the works of a people you
pityingIy looks upon as barbarians.
How you self consciousness of .su-
periority oozes out of you as you
find how inferior you are in those
very things in which you believed
your superiority was your boast.
Did you ever see embroidery like
that. so graceful in form, so delicate
in color, SO rich in fabric, so deft
in skill, Animal life, bird life, flower
life all pictured with truth fulness,
and an anatomical expression that
surpasses the art of any other people.
The Japanese are elaborate in their
adornment, borrowing their adorn-
ment direct from nature; from the
field or the forest, the garden or the
aviary; and the rich and beautiful
screens are pages torn from liv~
ing nature. The Japanese room is
exhaustless in interest. The mann
moth umbrella, hanging from the
ceiling, with its ten feet of diameter,
does not overshadoW, but thons ad-
ditionrl glow over the gorgeous cole
oring that lights up the other splen-
did articles over which it spreads.
But cannot enumerate; for the
number and variety of japanese
curious is bewildering, as well as
extensive. We question whether
there is such a special exhibit
South of the Potomac, SO well Iselec-
ted and of such high grade. It is a
museum Of the work of peculiar
people well worth seeing, studying
and selecting from.
