Dismal yesterday, foggy, drippy,
damp, uncomfortable, muddy, slop-
py, nasty.
A few soiled relics of the huge
snow piles still linger on some of
the streets.
Gen. R. B. Vance, who has been
at home several days, returns to
Washington tomorrow.
A slight change has been made
in the schedule of the A. & S. Road.
The train leaves at Z a. m. and
reaches here about 8 pm.
The stand pipe is going up, and
the clang of the hammer on the
iron plates as the rivets are be-
ing driven is heard long way.
The yellow flag yesterday from
the Battery Park observatory be
tokencd local snow or rain. The
latter came in highland misty fall.
The temperature was too high for
snow.
Married on the evening of the 90
inst, at the residence Of the brides
father, on South Main Street this
city, Rev. w. w. Bays officiating,
Mr.. w G. Perry, of Raleigh, to Miss
Zoe. L. daughter of G. A. and N. NJ.
Mears. May much happiness a tend
the happy couple through life.
An exchange says: "The tide of
immigration from foreign countries
to America shows a great increase
this year over that of 1885,"
The time WAS when the rapid in
fiux of foreigners might have been
well; the time has come when it is IL
threatening evil. Our children and
grand children-those of foreign
birth or descent as well as native
Americans-will realize the evils
which the present so alarmingly
threaten.
Our young friend j. r. Thomas,
Esq, of Jackson, is in the city. Mr..
Thomas was candidate before his
people last fall for seat in the leg
islature, and made most vigorous,
straight, democratic canvass. The
CITIZEN, in publishing the returns,
stated that Mr.. T. received ~ woes
in his county, whereas he received
nearly 200. Local issues ana a
number of candidates SO divided
people, however, that republican
a very good citizen, barring his re-
publicanism-was chosen in the
strong democratic county of old
Jackson.
The SpartanbuIg Herald says:
"The prospect of the continuance
OF the Narrow Guags Railroad to
Greenville seems assured, and its
early completion to the west seems
very promising. Susong & Co. have
signed a contract, fully secured, to
take the work already dcne, assume
all the liabilities, and build and
equip it by January /, 1889
The CITIZEN has already alluded
to the above, and have stated on
the authority OF Col. Rumbough,
one Of the company. that SO soon as
the road shall be completed tc
! iGrcenville it is the purpose nf the
company to push it on to Asheville
Push it along gentlemen, and let us
all help it along.

Special Correspondence of THE LEADER.
RAwLINs, Wyo., Nov. THE politi-
cal campaign in this county has been very
bitter. 1t has been a fight more against
''bossism' than between Democrat and
Republican. The Democracy has had the
sense to nominate men for office who, as
a rule, were not identified with political
affairs, but were known as men of more
than ordinary integrity and ability, and as
a result the party has achieved a most
signal victory at the polls. The oppose
ton has ransacked the cradle and the
grave to find campaign material, has in
vadcd the privacy of the family hearth
IN order that they might fling dirty dia-
tribe and abuse against candidates on the
Democratic ticket. Their organ here has
not had the manliness or the courage to
appear in their invectives in their regular
edition, but have sent anonymous screed
after screed into remote precincts in hopes
of influencing a few votes. Notwithstand-

sigma OIicer.
The temperature record at Cheyenne
for yesterday was the lowest Of the season,
the highest being 30', the lowest 20, and
mean 20. This is a decrease of2l' in the
maximum, and oils in the mean temporal
ture since the previous day and, since it
occurred while the cold wave signal was
flying, fully y%erities the prediction pub
lished yesterday. Yesterdays reports
show this cold wave to he general over
the Northwest, extending is far south as
Las Animas, and moving rapidly East
ward. The average temperature for all
stations at b a. M, was 3i', an average
fall of = in twenty four hours. The
barometer is generally very high, especial
~ west of the Mississippi river, and is still
rising. The cold wave signal was ordered
down last evening, which would indicate
that the wave was well nigh past this
point.
Light SHOWS occurred yesterday at
Cheyenne, Fort Buiord, Fort Custer,

A cattleman Just returned from North
ern Montana states that the Neidringhaus
drive of cattle from this county to British
Columbia has proved a disastrous failure
to the st. Louis cattle syndicate, of which
Mr.. Neidringhaus is a prominent member.
For a time the drive, consisting of 10000
head of cattle, prospcred finely, but as the
unusually dry season in Montana pro-
crossed the grass became scarcer and
streams OF water fewer and farther be-
tween. The stock began to weaken and
fall by the waysidc, and as days passed by
food became scarccr and the animals died
by the hundred. The hcrders even suf-
fcrcd great privations for water, and SO
desperate did the situation become,
when nearing the British line, that Mr..
Neidringhaus ordered the drive aban-
