In one precinct the judges asked the au-

Federal. COURT.
The Opening of the Fall Term OF
this Tribunal Yesterday.

NHlS
This tribunal was called to order yes
terday morning, Hon. r. P. Dick presid-
ing, and the usual number of witnesses
and defendants in attendance from all
parts of the district.
Clerk Reed was in charge of his depart
ment, and with the assistance of deputy
clerk Moore, the following grand jury
was drawn:
b. {. Lankford, foreman; u. {. Allen
Waitcs Goodman, W. J. Worlcy, J. J. Col
ward, J. A. Reeves, J. NJ. LYDIA, d. NJ. Con
nally, b. B. Jones, W. F. Davis, A. b..

Abels, Geo. Jacobs, John Maverick, Geo.
Clements John l.. Cook, Stanley Forney,
X. E. Williams, W. p. Moore. T. X. Da-
Wis, officer in charge.
There were three negroes on the grand
jury.
After being charged by his Honor in
his peculiarly able, concise and compre-
hensivc style, the grand jury retired to
their private apartments and began their
labors, while the court carefully invcsti-
gated those cases in which true bills had
already been found. A majority OF these
were for offenses of not very serious char
acter, and in many Of them mol pros was
entered by the district attc rney. Of those
submitted to jury trial Benjamin Dock
crv. of Cherokee and Ebcn May, of Clay,
were declared not guilty.
The streets, sidewalks and thorough
fares of Asheville presented a more
throngcd appearance than we have OBJ
served for many day, and the happiest
of our citizens were the stockholders OF
the electric railway; in fact they seemed
to beam with absolute satisfaction as
their cars passed to and fro achcrowded
to suffocation. Indeed, we wish the com,
pany could put more cars into service ii
would tend both to the comfort of theil
patrons and add to the plethoric cOndi
tion of their treasury. Many of our Wis
itors enjoyed locomotion by lightning
power for the first time, and it was as
good as circus to hear some of the re.
marks that were called forth.

county officers and two district judges
passed off quietly. A very light vote was
cast. There were three tickets i'll the

TEN Of voting, and testimony from all
sections of the State is almost unani-
nous in its praise In this city the vot-
ing places have presented a remarkable
appearance, and the scenes therein have
in many cases been in marked COntrasttO
those usually witnessed. The voting has
proceeded with dispatch and the voters
have enjoyed freedom from the impOrtu-
mites OF ballot distributors that they
have never known before. Very few cases
are reported where instructions as to the
method of voting were necessary and
practically the only aid required was for
those who came under the law as "by
blindness or other physical disability I'M
able to mark their ballots"
While voters expressed their pleas
urc at being able to vote without
the usual solicitation i'll the in
tcrcSt of one candidate or another
ward officers were also delighted at
being able to attend to their duties with
out being disturbed by the customary
hustle and disturbances outside the rail
There was some slight friction, caused
by a conflict of opinion with regard to
the duties OF precinct and other officers
But it was insignificant and made but
little trouble. With regard to the bal
lots themselves there was little or no
complaint From all over the State re-
ports Indicate very quiet election and a
light vote. Although the vote itself was
conducted as expeditiously as in former
years. The count was not completed so
early and returns came in slowly.

Ladies Of the Chase.

The ladies take more and more every year
4 share in the excitement Of the chase. The
Comtesse de Paris and the Duchesse dues
are the leading huntresses. The f1eetness with
which they follow the hunt and their exploits
In the field have won for them fame. A num-
Der of ladies who do not hunt on horseback
hunt on foot, and, gun in hand, prove them
selves untiring pedestrians. French women
were at one time little addicted to taking
open air exercise; now, during the autumn
season, their walking exploits rival the Prov
ess Of the harder English women.
They tramp through woods and across
country clad in skirts scarcely coming down
10 the knees, wearing high boots Of Unframed
leather reaching up to the hem of the skirt;
business-like looking little bag hung with
trap across the shoulder, a gun and small
felt hat complete their attire. The dresses are
made of velvet or light wooden material Of
the color of the woods in autumn, russell and
golden brown heather, or dim green like the
green of the pine trees.
To describe one of these dresses is to de
scribe all The one we have In mind, des-
tined for one of our most accomplished

The "Eirst Intention

If children are taught to do Thugs by the
first intention" and the parents leep up the
practice half the work of housekeeping will
be saved. For example, the boy who Is al
ways whiting, should be taught to do the
cutting over the wood box or on papers
spread down to protect the caspeting, and
when he is through he should see that the
room is as tidy as before, NOT leaving the dirt
for his mother or sister to sweep up. In cut
ting out work or in dressnlaking, no time is
lost in gathering up the scraps as they fall
from the scissors and putting them in basket,
and the room is not kept in such state Of dis
order that one can hardly tell which way to
turn. In short, there is no need Of two move
ments where only one is necessary. 1t takes
no longer to put the burnt maach into the re-
ceptacle provided for it or into the fire at the
time it is used than it does an aour later. X
a smutty kettle is SCI on a table, it takes more
time and strength to wash OFF the marks left
than it would to have placed paper beneath
the kettle in the first place. Teach the chill
dren when eating their lunchec,ns to sit quiet
ly in ono place and not scatter the crumbs
broadcast over the floor, or, when eating
candy, impress it upon them to touch nothing
about the room with their STICKY fingers 1t
is chiefly in avoiding the 'litteY" or confusion
made by both the children and the elders that
the saving tells. There are husdreds of other
matters wherein the first way Of doing them
saves time and trouble; but these given,
though simple, may serve rs examples

Manners at Table.

The time for acquiring good table manners
is during childhood and at home. Years at
boarding school, hours spent over books Of
social etiquette, may efface vulgar habits,
but can never give the ease and grace ac-
qured in childhood at a well ordered table.
A child who is almost baby can be taught
to handle his knife and fork, or spoon,
If he is too young for those more advanced
implements, with daintiness that will Of
fend no one. Where t-ere are children, it is
not a good plan TO have a wide difference be-
tween your everyday and company china,
silver and napery. There is too apt to be wide
difference, also, between everyday and COM
pany manners. Let each child have his COW
er as nicely laid with plate, knife and fork,
SPOON napkin and glass as his elders, and re-
member that he viii be sure to note your
own use of these articles. Teach him to say
"thank you" and ''please," and if he is allow
ed to leave the table before the meal is ended,
let him learn to say excuse me-" We were
very much amused at a baby of four sum-
mers who recently dined at our table. The
meal, interspersed with interesting CONVEX
sation, was tedious to his infant appetite and
intellect, and finally the little man spoke up
with: MAY be excused, please. l nave en-
ioyed my dinner very much. Some one at
the table-not his father-remarkedt that that
boy bid fair to be the finest gentleman in
America. "-American Agriculturist.

All young women possessed of red hair can
remember that il the days Of th..r childhood
their hirsute adornment was a source of
hooking meTriment to their friends, and the
term ''sorrel top" or strawberry blonde
was one of contempt. They wondered, per-
haps, why it was they were always called
''red headed when their playmates were de-
scribed as being black. brown or golden
haired. But the red headed girls don't
mind now that it is every young wOmans
ambition to be auburn haired, and she hopes
by the use of hair dyes to attain the shade
which belonged to the wicked Lucretia. If
she gets exactly the right shade she does not
see why a single thread of her hair might not
be preserved and exhibited, as is the one so
proudly shown in Florence as having be-
longed TO the wicked Lucretia.
1t is odd how many famous women have
had this Titan red hair. Catharine of Rus
STA gloried in it, and Anne of Austria had
brown hair, just on the verge of being red.
Ninon de lEuclos was equally proud of her
warm colored treSses, and MAJ Stuart
seemed a daughter of the sun. Ja.e Hading
and Mrs. Potter both have warm, auburn
hair, but it does not reach the real tinge,
which is that which crowned, in all her
glory, the head Of the Empress Eugene, she
who has known the extreme of happiness and
of sadness Exchange.

one such care as japanese babies get That
is. he is tied to her back by a strip OF cloth
passing around his knees aad back. Here
he hangs all day long, excepting when be !.
removed to be fed His little bead falls bach
or hobs helplessly from side to side as the
sister runs and plays or works.
In lieu Of a sister, baby is occasionally
seen riding on a boys back. The sun shine
in his unprotected face and on his bare head
If he cries he is bounced up and down or
rocked from side to side by tbs little nurse.
Sometimes it looks as if one baby had just
been unsuapped from its mothers back and
had the next one tied to its own before it had
gained strength enough to support itself with
ease. Then both babies are to be pitied.
Think Of your little or year old girl with
a baby from months to q year old hung
to her back-never free from her burden
for an hour at time, from early morning
until late at night. japanese children are
not tucked away in their downy beds with
the setting of the sun, but stay out with their
street companions until nature is exhausted.
Then the babies are removed, and they creep
under their cover on the floor and sleep until
the daylight calls them out from their
dreary, i'll ventilated rooms to the street
again.-Babyhood.

Women in the Paris Exposition.

A correspondent OF The Woman's Cycle,
writing from Paris, says he found that about
100 women were given medals or honorable
mention in Glasses to 5of GrcupI, that is, in
the various branches of the fine arts-oil
painting, sculpture, engravings, etc. This
result is very creditable to the sex, when it is
borne in mind that no women were members
of the fine art juries of the exhibition, nor, if
l ain not mistaken, of the various national
committees and juries formed in different
parts of Europe and America and that de-
cided, in many cases without appeal, what
pictures, ETC., should be sent to Paris.
France, in many things, treated its women
sairer than certain other countries which,
however, make greater nretensions in this
particular. So | am not nstonished to find
that nearly half of the 100 women artists who
carry off honors ara of French birth, and
thar, with the exception of Swiss lady, tho
ONLY female painter il oil to receive a gold
medal is Nine. Demcnt-Breton, of France,
while Nine. Cain among water colorists, and
Mn.e. Lem Berteaux among sculptors, are
the only women, and both OF them French,
who were given gold medals. In Glass SEN
craving and lithography-t~o women were
awarded honors, and here, again, both are
