THE PRESS.

Ashevlle ia we'll represented by two

are ably edited and appear to be well

they are at lolgerheads owing to the in

The editors are all cultivated gentlemen,
however, and 1t is to be hoped the breach
between them will be but temporary

A CLAIMING RIDE.

The views around Asheville equal in
beauty and variety any scenes that the
most vivid conception OF the poet or lin
ner could portray. For miles on every
side new landscapes of transcendent love-
Illness are constantly opening up, and the
admirer Of Nature is transported with de-
light. Your correspondent was indebted
to the courtesy OF Mr.. s. r. Chichester, the
clever proprietor of the Grand Central
Hotel and the livery, feed and sale tabes
connected with it. for a drive into the
country, which Will not soon be forgotten
Albeit in the sultry dog days, the air was
crisp and bracing, and seated in ligh t
buggy, behind spanking match of grays,
in the early morn Of a lovely day, We
visited all of the lions of Ashevile and
made complete circuit of the city, paus-
ing from time TO time to note the peculiar
beauties of some of the more striking
views. The green fields were rejoicing
under the effects OF a heavy shower, and
the roses in the numerous gardens, and
clover blossoms and corn tassels filled the
air with delicious fragrance. Many noble
country seats greeted the eve, and here a
skillful photographer might fill his port
folio with scenes from real life which art
may seek to initiate in vain.

The writer witnessed one Of these auc-
tiOns. and was astonishe1 at the price
leaf tobacco is now bringing. Some los
were knocked off at 1c. per pound, and
the article does not compare in value
with Last years prices. 1t was hard 70
dispose of any but the best grades. We
also visited the Baskerville Tobacco
Works." which give employment to fifty
hands, and turn out annually 100 900
pounds Of chewing and $1,000 pounds of
smoking Zine cut) tobacco. We wit
messed the several processes in all their
details, by which the crude leaf is trans
formed into the smooth and slightly bars
or plugs Of commerce. Did time and
space permit these should be given to the
readers.
