Editor Ctisen;-I find in your paper OF

Of AAhevilie, and printing doctors certf
cate to o1conarm their assertions It is all
very we'll TO bFag about your pure air and
wafer and your magnifeentscenery, and
acknowledge your pre- eminenee In those
particulars; but there are other points in
which the public take an interest, in
which this place is far ahead of you.
Take basC .baA for instance. If there is
anyone thing the average American is in

ever going TO play decent game in place
where. when the ball strikessthe ground

finds . resting place and then not on
level gIound,, but against the face of
another hln which tits too ii c l to climb;
and where player running his base
goes up and down hill so much that you
don't see him half Of the time till he gets
to his base, and you're mighty lucky If
you do then. Now this place is not only

is not true that each one has an. J on

1t was reported sometime since
that Mr.. J. T. Justus, AK collector
of Granger county, Tennessee, had
been killed while attempting to roo
his own house, all of which turns
out to be false. Mr. Justus is native
OF this county, a son of ex-sheriff
BILLY" JustuS, one of the oldest and
most respected. citizens of this coun-
ty, and has host Of relatives and
friends. He was known here to be
an estand upright man. A COR
respondent of the Knoxville Chroni~
Gle says:
The account of the tragic death
of James T. Jnstus, Es1. trustee OF
Granger county, is cerlninly abso-
lutely false, as / saw him last We elk.
and was the first man 10 tell him

that he was alive and VIII aud able
to tell the people that Ire, was not

KILeoRE REsPITED.
A telegram from Hendersonville in
forms us that the negro Kilgore whose
execution was ixedfor yesterday has been
respited for two weeksfor reas ms no doubt
satisfactory to Governor Scales. Perhaps
to give the criminal longer preparation,
for the change from time to eternity. We
cahnot believe the respite is preliminary
to Communication to life Imprisonment,
Now after the case has been acted upon
by both the lower and the higher tribu-
nails Of the law, We are at liberty to say
that the sentence was such as society de-
mands and justice approves. The muir.
der was deliberate, cold blooded, atroci-
ous, and attended with feature rare in
crime in the South. 1t was for purposes
of plunder and the victim, though de.
graded, was still a woman, a weak help.
less woman. Let Justice be done.

DR.. ]. A. Burroughs showed US
yesterday a genuine California sal
mon, which he had taken with
hook and line in the Swannanoa
river: This is the second one of the
kind he had caught. Some years
ago some young fry OF this species
were thrown into the Western wa
tiers by the fish commissioners. We
hope now to see fuller results. This
was a genuine salmon, Lot the fish
known by that name in the waters
Of Western North Carolina.
The Richmond Whig has so pros
pered in the new phase Of business
that it is compelled after a career Of
three months to enlarge its size
from % column to a 80 column
paper. The new paper was started
under certainly not favorable, au-
spices. 1t had been one of the fa>
vorite paper Of Virginia. It had
become loaded down swith an oblo-
guy that had destroyed ali the i'm
ffuence for useful power it once
welded. It had turned its forces
against thebe st interests OF the pee
pile of the State for which it preten-
ded to battle. It had forfeited
respect. It was dead; ana its pres
ent viYacity and vigor is like a
resurrection.

COFFEE

As very few of our friends buy ground
coffee it is hardly necessary to give the
authorizations practiced by cheap dealers
bv using ehicory. beans. peas, carrots
: etc, all of which may be detected by
stirring in clear water, the greasy nature
of the coffee causing it to float on top
: while the adulterating materials will
sink and rapidly discolor the water.
Always bnf whole grain coffee-choos
ing large light uniform grains for mild
drink and dark green f,r strong. Avoid

This is extensively adulterated both
in China and this country by the means
of exhausted tea leaves and leaves OF
other trees. Mineral matters are also
used for coloring or facing teas; clay
sand etc are extensively used. The tests
for these are by infusion; this is poured
OF the leaves and examined for color,
taste and odor, all of, which are easily

Dear Sir We had the pleasure OF
dnly receiving your letter of 25th Febru
ary.5 Mr.sT. a. Weston whom yeiI men,
ton is an old friend OF our Mr. Thomas
Wilson, Sr., (both of them veteran inven-
tors We SAW Mr.. Weston several times
on tie occasion Of his last visit to Eng
land and hope his health is keeping up,
and desire with Mr.. Wilson, Sr, to be
kindly remembered to him. We are
much Obliged to you for description and
location of Asheville, its climate and
suitability as business place; and your
suggestion of starting a factory there in
our line will have our serious considtra-
ton, though we do not see our way to
make an immediate move. We have
here an extensive growing business
which requires large energy and resOurc-
es. We are extending our connections
in the United States as in other places,
and it may well happen that such
demand may arise in the States for Iron
and Brass Bedsteads that it would be to
our interest to start the manufacture of
them on the spot, when we should gladly
avail ourselves of your kind advice and
assistance. In the meanwhile yeu may
probably be able to place a few sets of
orf drawings with large buyers of Iron
and Brass Bedsteads giving us the advan-
tags of your recommendation which we
can promise you will be fully confirmed
in any business which may result. We
look forward to hearing from you again
soon with instructions to send you some
drawings for distribution as suggested
above. With kind regards and best
thanks. Yours respectfully,
WILSON, BRos,, & Co.

THE Inter-Soclety debate at the Uni
versity Friday night was listened to by
a very fair audience. The speakers on
both sides showed themselves we'll pre-
pared on the subject and ready in argu-
ment. Judge G. G. Smith, DR.. ]. r.
Wilson and Micheal Savage Esqr., con-
stituted the committee. The subject
discussed was the Blair Educational
Bill. The decision was given to the
negative which was presented by the
speakers OF the Washington Irving So
ciety. Judge Smith said in giving the
decision of the committee that he ia
vored the Blair Bill but was compelled
to admit that the other sid" made
the best argument.
