PERsoNAL.-The GOLD LEAF Office
had a halo of glory thrown round about
it this morning by the genial presence
and radiant cOuntenance of our highly
esteemed and dearly beloved brother OF
the Faber, Henry Blount, the brilliant
wit and versatile genius who presides
with so much of grace over the Wilson
Mirror, and infuses so much of poetry
and eloquence into the columns of that
truly admirable journal. He was just
returning from Oxford where he deliv-
cred the literary. address before the
young men of Horner's military school
Tuesday evening. We never saw him
looking handsomer or in better spirits.
It is an inspiration to talk with Henry
Blount, even for short while, and we
feel better for having been with him
this morning.

SOMEWHAT A GENIUs.-Prof. G. II.
Walter. the Human Mocking Bird, Of
whom we have seen much in the papers
of late, has struck Henderson. He has
put the feathered songsters to shame
and set the small boys crazy. He is
the maker of small and insignificant
little affair known as the hooking bird
whistle which he is selling, the imme-
date object of which is to raise money.
With this he proposessssto ''raise the
wind" and perhaps raise himself into
fame and fortune. The Professor is
the inventor of swimming machine
which he has used at noted watering
places from New York to Eastern
North Carolina, and has rendered dis
tinguished service at some of the life
saving stations on the sea coast. In
addition to this he has invented what
he calls wind carriage, which may be
used on land or sea. it being designed
for service on the coast, to run on the
beach and across inlets and sounds. Ii
is his purpose to construct his VINO
machine as soon as he can make the
necessary arrangements, he tells us, IL
which event he feels sure his fortune Il
secured.
Prof. Walter is native Of Westmin
ster, Md, and speaks in highest terms
of Prof. S. Simpson, of the Western
Maryland College, who is well known
in Henderson. The hooking bIr'
whistles are on sale at Stephens bool

DOING GOOD BUsINEss.-Mr.
Henry Thomson does not ''blow"
about what he is doing, but as an evil
dence that he ''gets there" on sales,
we mention the fact that he sold lO6
bushels Of meal Tuesday, and other
things in proportion. We incidentally
learned this in passing. And yester-
day morning he sent out more than 80
bushels before 10 o'clock-although
the weather was threatening and it
was not good day for selling meal,
either. Mr.. Thomson sells goods
low, attends close to his business,
treats his customers right, and believes
in printers ink. This accounts for the
success that he is evidently meeting
with.
