troduccd ]. Taylor Ellison, mayor Of the
city, who welcomed the visiting veterans

man by ChiIlOn'S walls, Set of
by the Forests OfAryel.
BERNE, SWITZERLAND,
August IS, 1889.
Dost thou know it, the dull blue wave
Which bathes the ancient Wall of Chon?
Hast thou seen the grand shadow of tho
rocks of Arvel
Reflected in that azure sea?
Knowest thou Nayc and its steep crest
And the toothed ridge of Jamau?
Hast thou seen them :? Tell me, hast thou
them
Come here to these scenes and never leave
them.
A very pleasant rest of twenty-four
hours gives time to visit many points oi
interest in this capital city of our sister
republic, and it is found a very attractive
place combining both old and new. The
streets well paved, and afountain OF pure
water flowing protusely at many OF thcil
intersections from stands of stone carved
in many grotesque designs.
A visit to the old cathedral well rcpayS
the time it takes. The interior, impress
i've in size but plain to austerity, indicates
its intense Professionalism, while outside
there remain many sculptures, probably
placed there under it's Catholic builders.
These present most quaint and almost
grOteSque ideas of its architect. AgrOup
of figures over the door illustrates the
parable Of the sheep and goats, and the
distressed CountenanCeS of the latter, es-
pccially of one terrible rOuc who the devil
has firmly in his iron tongs, ready for a
roast. are most ludicrously pathetic
while the happy sheep actually do seem
,lslt f,It
cry of those who were 50 lately their
friends and neighbors.
This strange idea is again strongly
presented by the life size figures OF the
Ten virgins. The five wise, with burning
lamps view with the complaisance OF
Pharisccs the distressed countcnanccs OF
their weeping sisters, as with empty oil
cans and eXtinguished lamps they turn
sadly away.
The CHIEF characteristic of Bernc is its
devotion to bears. The legend is that its
founder was almost killed by one of these
fierce animals, ard i'll gratitude for his
escape named his city Bcrnc, or The Bear
and so Bruin seems to be the tutclary
saint OF the Berncsc. His burly form, i'll
all strange positions, meet you at every
turn, and in huge pit six of these Great
urcs are pampered at the city's cost
very strange old clock is another of
the sights of Berne, and it is curious to
see the crowds of tourists filling the mar
row street and craning their necks to see
its strange developments as each hour
approaches.
The public buildings are handsome and
well appointed, and near by a terrace
affords an extended prospect of snow
clad peaks, from which we can scarcely
tear ourselves away, but lingerlong after
the setting sun has withdrawn its glo-
rious light. A tablet, presenting very
faithful view, gives the name and height
of each, from which we copy the most
prominent to help our remembrance of
this glorious scene:

His Trunk Broken Open ana His
Money all Conc.

Moulton Boyce, a colorcd man who
lives i'll cabin i'll rear of photographer
Lindscy's residence on Woodin street,
mourns the loss of $24, which was stolen
from his trunk Sunday morning The
trunk was taken by the thief into corn
patch near by, broken open and plum
dcrcd, while Moulton was at church. In
his hurried search of the trunk the rob-
Der overlooked $11 i'll bills, which was
secretcd i'll an envelope, and consequently
Boyce has small "stake" uponw hich to
rebuild his shattered fortunes. There is
no clue as to who the thief was, and al
though the matter was reported to the
police authorities, they have as yet been
unable to capture the colored Napoleon
of finance" who came so near bringing
about Boyce's total financial collapse.
The money that was stolen represented
the savings of the summer, and, as Boyce
is a worthy, industrious citizen, lacking a
great deal of being embarrassed with
riches, his loss is a great misfortune to
him.

The Slow, Deliberate Approach of
the Planet TO the Moon.

The occultation of Jupiter last night
came off according to the Astronomical
calculation, and no doubt had general
attention drawn to it. The clouds good.
naturcdlv drew aside, and the slow dc.
Ilherate approach OF the planet Jupiter
to the moon, its disappearance, and its
emcrgcnce were all clearly seen. 1t re,
minded one of the Indian explanation OF
ecllpscs, one body, after the manner OF
fiery dragon swallowing up the other.
There was nothing exciting about the
spectacle, still it had it's uses. The
Washington Post, in scientific article
on the subject, says
Occultations are valuable to the astron-
omer, as furnishing one of the best means
OF determining longitude and it is for
TINS purpose that a large number of these
are given i'll the National Almanac. They
also furnish one OF he best means oftcst-
ing our lunar ana planetary tables.
The next occultation of Jupiter visible
IN this country will take place on the
18th of August, 1899, year which will
ever be memorable in the annals of as
tronomy as the one containing far more
than the average number of planetary
occultations, there being no less than
thirty in all. Many of them will be yisi-
blein the United States.
The moon, in comparison with the
other planets Of the solar system, as
everybody knows, is quite small. Its
diameter is only 2,l6O miles, or about
one-iourth that Of the earth. 1t is only
239,O miles from the earth, however,
and owing to this is able to blot out
from time to time in changing course
planets several Thousand times its size.
Jupiter, according to astronomical cal
culations, is 3JS,OOO,OOO miles away
from the earth, and is still Il mass Of
molten matter. Volcanic cruptions are
continually taking place in the planet,
and the entire mass is all the time under
going changes, procured by cooling and
The distance between the earth and
Jupiter is so great that it is impossible
or the mind to form any definite idea of
i. Three hundred and nncty-eight mil
ion miles signifies nothing, but when it
IS said that it would take an express
train travelling sixty miles an hour and
three hundred and siXty-fivc DAYS in the
year seven hundred and tilty-scvcn years

Instance is more easily imagined.

The nIeeting LAST Nipht.

Only small number of citizens were in
attendance upon the public meeting at
the court house last night, to hear Mr..
Arthur Arlington, secretary of the South
ern Interstate Bureau of immigration
explain the objects and benefits of that
organization. A local branch of the bu-
reau was organized at the conclusion OF
his address with Mr.. Geo. S. Powell as
president, and Mr.. Walter b. Gwyn, sec
retary, and it is to be hoped that much
good to Asheville and the west will be
the result of its creation last night.

so perfect as this spot, and no sail so
thoroughly charming as that of to-day,
on the lake of Leman, from the town of
Lausanne, to Chillon.
The color of the water is changed from
the strange green we have before noted,
and instead is n most delicate shade of
blue. The shores are lined with villages
filled with delighted tourists. Numerous
swans are gracefully floating around,
and coming almost to the steamers side.
Nor are they alone i'll ejoying a swim,
but hundreds of boys are shouting with
delight, as they plunge from the banks
and rise far from the shore, looking more
like frogs than anything else we can
think of.
Oh that we could only have all OF
our old North State friends with us, and
a whole summer to stay amid these de-
lights, but time flies indeed, and to-mor-
row we must hasten to Geneva, for
which we have only one day left, and
then to Paris.
If we have prosecuted you to this en-
tent, before reaching the great eXposi,
ton which was the chief object of our
journey, what may you anticipate OF
evil when we do arrive there: So i'll very
pity we now say, good night. 7. W. p.

New ORLEANS, September 3.-NewS
is Just received from Franklin, La, in
the third congressional district, that
deputy sheriff Jacobs, republican, had
been shot The only particulars received
are contained in the following, received
by chairman Moore, of the Democratic
committee, from .Jno. A. O'Neill, an old
and respected citizen OF Franklin:
Jacobs was troublesome and ofiicious
at the polls. Neither the commissioners
nor the bystanders knew he was a dep
uty sheriff No announcement to that
effect had been made. When leaving the
court he muttered threats and drew his
pistol, making a murderouS assault, and
he was shot down before he could fire
The wound is not necessarily fatal, No
disturbance whatever followed"

ever suited spot in this world, this is
the one. Imagine us this peaceful Sun
day afternoon at sunset, seated on ter
race surrounded by flowers, rich and glo-
rious, spears of gladioli, of all shades, in
endless profusion, heliotropc filling the
air with its Acknowledgements, a charm
ing hotel inviting lis to its table d hotc, y
but even our hunger must go unappcascd,
SO long as daylight permits us to turn
our eyes, rapturously around, above, be
low us, around us, to rest upon this
sweet garden, aud the pleasant people,
old and young, all full of happiness and
endowment; above us at the towering,
snow clad alps, striving to pierce the
heavens, and see whether even there any
thing can be found more pure and white
than itself; below us AT the calm breast
of the lake of Lcman of which Byron
wrote
Lake Leman lies by Gibbons alls
A thousand feet in depth below"
And from the lovely shore of which we
have Just been elevated probably two
thousand perpendicular feet, without ef-
fort on our part, by the help of one OF
those curious inclined, water-worked
railways, such as we described at Lu-
cerne.
These ingenious ContrivanceS are here
called ''furniculaires, and seem very
popular, as they are certainly well adap-
ted to make the climb of these dizzy, pre-
cipitous mountains.
Our quotation from Byron reminds us
to say, that we have visited the famous
castle of Chillon, on whose "snow white
battlement" we can look at this moment,
standing boldly out into the lake, and
set off bv the dark forests of Mount Ar
vel, whose cliffs seem to overhang, and
threaten the cruel old prison with the de-
struction its horrors deserve.
The awful scenes here enacted were
brought vividly to mind, as we counted
the seven columns of stone in the dun
geon,
"And in each pillar there is a ring
And in each ring there is a chain,
That iron is a cankering thing
For in these limbs its teeth remain"
and as we trod over the graves of the
two brothers, our heart was opened
n'rcsh for the lonely survivor, whom in
fancy we could see.
And it was liberty to stride
Along my cell from side to side
And up and down and then athwart
And tread ii over every part,
And round the pillars one by one
Returning where my walk begun"
Wonderful mankind to select a spot so
blessed of God, to perpctrate the atroci-

coroner held an inquest yesterday on the
body of Fleischbein, ofBcllevilc, ILL.,, who
was KILLED by Haltzhay, the stage rob-
Der. The jury found verdict in accord
ance with the evidence, and recommended
that HaItzhay be held to the next term

but Il complication has arisen since the
inquest, United States agent Pulsfer
arrived here and claimed the prisoner on
behalf Of the United States. His demand
was made on the supposition, based on
the prisoners confession, that Haltzhay
robbed the United States mail on the
Wisconsin Central road. The authori-
ties here will not listen to this claim. The
prosecuting attorney claims that he has
a certain case against the murderer, and
that he can send him down for life. On
the other hand it is said that the killing
is manslaughtcr at least, and the posi-
