A Burning shame.

Inspector-General Francis I'll.
Cameron, N. G. S. G., will proba-
bly, inspect the Asheville Light
Infantry tomorrow night. This
company is the only one in the
State Guard that has not been in
spected. The uniforms have been
received and now lie in the ex-
press Office for the want of few
funds with which to pay the man
ufacturer of the same. Without
these uniforms the company can
not be inspected. This is a set
tied and irrevocable decision. A
committee was out among the cit
zens yesterday soliciting neces-
sary funds, but the amount col
lected was almost totally INSULT
cient. This is shame and dis
grace to the city. Help the boys
out !; and help them to-day. Il
not inspected tomorrow night,
the company will be disbanded,
and the guns and equipments re-
turned to the ordnance officer at
Raleigh. VIII the citizens OF
Asheville submit to this disgracei
We shall see.

Deserved Compliment.

A recent issue of Durham Tobac-
60 Plant contains a lengthy editorial
of the commencement at Trinity
College from which we clip the
following complimentary notice of
the Rev. w. w. Bayes. D. D., of
this city who delivered the annual
address at this f1ourishing institu-
ton:
"There was but one critisism
made ut was one of the finest
things ever heard" 1t was full of
good, sound, particular thought,
and was embelished by some of the
easiest, most graceful, most beau
titul, flights of eloquent fancy we
have ever heard. For an hour and
half the orator held his audience.
Just, incident, sound logic, hard
common sense, and eloquent peri
DDS made up one of the most inter-
esting, instructive and thrilling adj
dresses ever heard at Trinity, and
that IS saying about a: much as we
know how to say, FOR the biggest
preachers and orators of the nation
have spoke at Trinity"
The Asheville citizen. [volume] (Asheville, N.C.) 1885-1889, 1888-06-21
win this be a Hot summer?

The impression seems to prevail ,
pretty generally that we are to
have hot summer throughout the
country.
The Indiana Pharmacist prcdictes
it upon the following theory, which
has been advanced by others: The
weather seems to run in cycles of
about seven years, that is when we
have hot summers. it is always
followed by cold one, and it takes
about seven years to reach another
one equally hot.
It will be remembered by many
that the summer of 1867 was very
hot, and so dry during August the
grass crumbled under the feet when
trod upon. The summer of 1868
was noted for its GOODNESS, the ther-
mometer very seldom getting above
IS degrees and we did not reach the
top wave of thermality again until
1874, when it was extremely hot.
The following summer was cold to
remarkable degree. From then
until 1851, which was excessively
hot and very dry, no rain falling for
over nine weeks, and there were
more sunstrokes that summer than
there have been in all the summers
since.
The summer of 1882 was quite
cold, few flakes of snow fell on
the morning of July 4, followed by
hail in the afternoon, and during
the rest of the month and through
the month of August the tempera-
ture was so:ow that overcoats were
necessary for comfort, particularly
at night. The summers since 1882
have grown warmer and warmer,
and last summer was a moderately
hot one, but unless ali signs fail, the
following summer will be the climax
of the cycle, and hot, dry season
may be expected. So far this spring
the signs have been against the
theory here advanced, but possibly
the GOODNESS of the spring may be
succeeded by regular old scorchs
ing summer whose temperature will
rival sheol for holiness.
