A Manuscript Exhibition.

Letters sent to the Birmingham and
Midland Institute, which is about to have
q manuscript exhibition at its annual con-
versazione, show that Andrew Lang does
not keep his manuscript Justin Nc
Carthy works with a typewriter. Mr.
Shorthouse, author Of "JOhn Inglesant,
makes scrappy manuscripts. Marion
Crawford writes his improvements into
his draft. Mr.. Besant has not kept any
of the manuscripts of the Rice partner
ship. Bret Harte is not in possession OF
the sheets of his earliest stories. The
'scopy'' of many famous books has already
been secured.-New York Sun.

The Florida RattIesnake.

The diamond back'' is scientifically
known as crotalus hOrridus. You will
know what mean; perhaps you will not.
Possibly my statement of that geological
fact will only make cold Chllls creep down
your back to no purpose. For the name
itself is appalling, and this perhaps is the
reason that the people of Florida who
wish to encourage immigration merely al
lude to diamond backs lightly and cheer
fully as ''rattlers." But there are rat
tlers'' and rattlers. The RATHER of the
north is more or less common; few have
gone ''huckleberrying often without en-
couraging one. The better the ground
and day for finding berries the better
the chance for rattlesnakes, too. But a
long stick always made short end Of
crotalus adamanteus Of northern New
York.
Were the engagement with crotalus
horridus of Florida, 1 should want an
uncommonly long stick, and you might
look with considerable certainty to find
me at the extreme end of it. The COM
mon name by which this snake is known
comes from the diamond pattern which
nature, ever liberal with her dyes and
designs, has printed upon it's back. Moth
And, so far as looks go, this crotalus is
the handsomest and best dressed of his
kind. But, since handsome is that hand
some does'' only, the diamond back is not
generally admired in the circles wherein
he moves, breathes and principally has
his being. Nicholas.

A Criticism of Yolapul.

Volapuk is now going through its Sec
ond and more deliberate criticism. Sci
ence contains a careful article by Alexan-
der M. Bell, in which he concludes that
Volapuk does not solve the problem Of a
universal language. The system viii
meet most favor with nations whose Ian
guages are highly infected. This is not
the trouble with the English language.
He suggests an international committee
of English speakers to suggest such i'm
provements as would make Of ours SIM
pier language, adapted to universal use.
A committee of the American Philosophi-
cal society, of which the eminent anthrop-
ologist, DR.. D. G. Brinton, was chairman,
has also reported that "Volapuk is
synthetic and complex, whereas all mod
ern dialects are becoming more analytic
and simple; the formal elements Of Vola-
puk are those long since discarded by
Aryan speech" But this committee Of
eminent scholars urge that as the ances-
tors Of all Aryans once used the same
language, so the time is near when once
again a unity of speech can be established
for all Of our stock, and for all the rest Of
civilization as well.-Globe-Demo

Renner,s Prophecies for 1888.

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer, who
has gained considerable notoriety through
the newspapers for his predictions OF
future events, and who few years ago
published a small volume on the ups and
downs of prices, which had a great sale,
has now communicated his prophecies for
the year 1888, in which he says:
-''This year, 1888, being the closing year
in this cycle of low prices-seven years
from 1SS1-is the golden opportunity to
commence the foundation Of business.
If there is any benefit to be derived from
a knowledge of these cycles in trade, it
will be in taking advantage of them.
young men who are about to COM
mence their business career should en-
brace their present opportunity. There
are but few of these chances in an or
binary life. 1t requires about ten years
to complete an up and down In general
trade.
''When the depressions which follow
commercial crises reach their lowest limit,
as determined by these price cycles, they
afford the best opportunities for invest
ment, and the height of speculative eras
are the most dangerous periods to make q
commencement in any enterprise.
s'This is the opportunity for investors to
open a mine, to build a furnace, to erect a
mill, to build ship, to equip railroad
and to make investments in agricultural,
commercial and industrial operations.

for his fortune by buying American Sc
curities in one of our commercial de-

NATURE.
like a sister to my eyes,

Nature is like sister to my eyes,
A maiden playful, petulant and shy;
Deep in her face sweet meanings espy,
Which now she fain would hide, as the far skies
Hide their blue souls by some thin cloud that flies
Rendering concealnnent lovelier. sigh
When gazing on her charms, quietly
Expressed, and learn her soul in its fair guise.
Sometimes, with folded hands upon her breast,
Alone, apart, like some sweet num- hear
Her pray. Sometimes she sings TO me- and fear
And Joy alternate rob my mind of rest.

Mr.. \. l.. Melton.

Visiting the AshevilIe Female
Col ege 4 few days ago we dropped
inio the room of the above named
aAchitcct, ard had an opportunity
of seeing the drawings prepared by
him for a Female College for the
Methodist denomination to be
erected in some town in Arkansas.
The design is that adopted in the
construction Of the college buildI 9
here with such changes and modifi-
cations as were suggested by expe~
rience, or difference in locality.
1t is matter of pride that the
fine building here should have
been after full comparison with 9th
er designs offered, adopted unanl-
mously and enthusiastically as the
model of an institution for similar
purposes in a far distant State. In
fact the Asheville Female College in
architectural proportions and i'm
posing effe #, in convenience and
harmony of internal arrangements;
in admira ole adaptation to its spe-
cial uses, is the triumph of an ars
chitect skilled in his profession and
combining into sound judgment all
the elegancies of good taste.
The college stands an enduring
monument of professional attain
ment, and its presence will always
enure to the haRor Of Mr.. Melton.
We are not surprised at the recog-
milton of his ability which now has
fattering demand made upon it.
He is now engaged in work upon
alterations in the interior of the
Methodist church of Asheviiie, and
his decorative designs haye been
adopted in the face Of some sharp
but creditable professional compet-
itors. He has also in charge the
construction of several fine private
dwellings Lere, and also at Waynes-
vile, among the former of which is
the new home Of Mr.. NJ. E. Carter on
French Broad Avenue, and that of
Mr.. Benjamin Atkins at the corner
of Woodfin and Locust streets.

Advice to ThOusnnhs.

Men without number are at this very
hour straining their brain by close ap-
plication to business, regardless of the
most important member of the human
body, the eye. Thousands of women
are overworking and straining the eyes
hourly and daily, not thinking when
the eyes give out and cease to guide the
hand, their ability for usefulness and
enjoyment of life is done. Clerks, stu
dents and laborers from close confine-
ment, and long hours strain upon the
eyes are rapidly lmpairing the same.
There is no one after passing the age
of thirty, that cannot find relief and
protection for the eyes when at work, by
using properly adjusted lense, and hold
the eye for years to its youthful vigor.
We cordially invite all to call upon us
at our rooms, and examine our stock of
goods and scientific instruments for ad
justing lenses for every condition of the
eyes, cross eyes, near sighted, far sighted
and all other defects.

The ReY. Mr.. Pearson.

Speaking about the large audi
ences which have attended the SER
vices OF this gentleman during his
ministrations in Wilmington, the
Star says:
"The Tabernacle seats about $500
with chairs in the aisle. Some of
our exchanges abroad made it seat
$500. The calculation of those who
had charge was, as we were told,
about 2,3O0, without chairs. Somee
times there were no doubt 1000 or
more. in and around the building.
Mr.. Pearson could have preached in
a building seating 5000 it would
have been full every time, we have
no doubt. He is not able to fill a
hall that seats more that 1000. 1t
strains him too much. A tabernacle
constructed like Surgeons, with
galleries, and with the preachers
stand one-third from one end, would
enable him to preach to 1000 with
comparative ease."
Mr.. Pearson is soon to be here,
and it is expected that his audi>
ences will be very large. The pop
ulation of Asheville is less than
that of Wilmington, but the propor-
ZION of which is far greater in the
former than in the latter. 1t is
from the whites chiefly that Mr..
Pearson's audiences must he looked
for and we publish the above that
the gentlemen having the arrange
ments for religious services in
charge, may make ample prepara-
tions.
