A MODERN CURIOSITY SHOP.

What a Sentinel Reporter Found to
lishment.
Last summer as SENTINEL re-
porter was leisurely walking down the
streets of Ashville, thinking of the
many resources of the State, its wealth
of mineral, water and wood, he was
attracted to the sign of dealer in
curiosities and souvenirs. On going
inside the shop, he found no little Nell
as in the case of Mr.. Dickins in former
days, but rather young, pleasant
faced gentleman who expressed his en-
tire willingness to display his curios
and give any information concern
ing them that was wanted,
"Here" said he, holding up
beautiful pipe bowl, all mottled and
streaked with green and gray is a spec
linen of Nan tahala soap stone. It is
worked up into paper weights, whistles
and other small articles that are quite
attractive as souvenirs.
This flexible sand stone comss from
Stokes county and will bend consider
ably before breaking. For a long
| time only one person, a native hunter,
| knew where it was found and he de-
rived considerable revenue by saving
it up into stri ps and peddling them
around at % cents apiece. Now, there
are several places where it is found
and it is becoming widely known.
"Here," continued he, are Beryls and
Mica from Yancy county, Corundum,
Baryta and Garnets, Amethyst, found
size and beauty, and Tourmaline, but
this pair of Smokey Topas earrings are
beautiful ! They retail at S4,00 per
pair and are becoming quite the fash
ion "In what colors do you find
those Aqua Marines ?" They come in
all tints and shades, from deep green
and blue on up to pale yellow and
clear. Here you will notice among
these watch charms some interesting
specimens. These flint and quartz In
dian relics are found in abundance in
an ancient burying ground and these
arrow heads are made from clear Cal
cedony, found only in North Carolina.
"In your rambles about the noun
tains what was the most curious of
the many curious things you have
seen ?"
"The strangest and most unaccount-
able thing ever saw was prehistoric
| Chromium mine, over here in Yancy
county. 1t is fifteen feet deep and one
hundred feet long. The thing that
puzzles me most is-what did the In
dians, or their predecessors want with
| Chromium? 1t is worthless for arrow
heads or stone tools and without con-
/ siderable chemical treatment could
/ not be made available as a paint or
pigment"
"Do you sell many canes and views
to visitors7
Eyes, there are good many novel
ties in canes, made by an old man few
miles away that "take; for instance,
here is cane with head something like
a dragon, these go well. They sell at
from 25 cents up to $2."
"What are your most saleable art
| icles p"
.I suppose 1 sell more of these bear
and owl claw bangles and watch
charms than anything else. Here is a
beautiful watch charm made from the
claw of large wildcat-killed few
days ago-wil you accept it?"
We emerged from this store of curl
osities with new conception of the
strange and curious things to be found
: in our State, and wondering at the Lit.
tie that was generally known of her
/ mineral wealth. SENTINEL.

one of the chief causes of his great
success as a missionary
In 1883 he was called to Rome
to assist in the council assembled
to consider the state of the church
in America and the result was the
calling of the third Plenary Council
OF Baltimore. On this occasion Arch
bishop Gibbons was honored by being
appointed Apostolic Delegate and
President of the Council.
Since his connection with the See
OF Baltimore six new churches have
been built, the St. James Home for
Boys established, St. Elizabeth's s
Home for Colored Infants has been
apened and a home for unemployed
servant girls established. A Lyceum
for young men was instituted and
many other organizations aided and
encouraged. The See of Baltimore is
In most prosperous condition.
