THE RESULT OF RAILROAD
PROGRESS.

The editor of the Asheville
Citizens says:-We have known
much of the State before there
was a yard Of railroad on its
surface; we have known it
when a forest wilderness occu-
pied the present sites of large
and prosperous towns, and when
waving fields spread their
ample acres on ground now
covered with thriving villages
This change is absolutely and
entirely due to the construction
of railroads. Still greater deve-
lopment is to follow their ex-
tension. -

4 BACKwOO's BOY SEES THE
TRAIN FOR THE FIRST
TINE



Mr.. EpIToR-Dear Sir: As ]
have been thinking tina. / would
write a piece for your valuable
paper, and a. have taken q
trip TO the new railroad l will
tell you whn. saw.
| went TO Parkersburg aud
was standing about when /
heard something roaring. Task
ed what it was. they told me 1t
was the train and 1t would he
there o-reckly, and pretty soon
it came Mi-something did. Is
hollered as If in distress, it was
putting and flowing. l was sor-
ry for that thing. for l know it
was tired, poor thing, it fetched
breath SD hard and fast. It was
the biggest thing l ever saw. 1t
had one big eye and it looked
like fire. Ii had a big rack like
a shovel turned bottom up in
front; they said that was a COW
ketcher, but l don't see how
thing could ketch COWS. Well
it staid there a little while and
left, and when it started it pick
ed great long iron thing and
throwed it down and said "poo;'
it picked up another iron thing
and tirowed that down and said
"poo! poo!w 1t went away from
there saying ''chow, chow, chow,
chow" Bless your soul that
thing flew.
l asked what they fed it on.
They said it would eat pine wood
and lightwood nots, and that
it would drink water. So / went
to Autrysville to see it drink
water. thought it would drink
out of the river, but they had a
big tub full for it to drink out
of, and it drunk and drunk and
when it had drunk enough il
said "tont! toot!" and picked uI
them iron things again and lett
there. l know that thing was
strong for they had a rope from
one end to the other so every.
body could help hold it when
they wanted it to stop. 1t had
to be strong to pull them lone
carts fastened together, for the
road / saw was so sandy, an6
they told me that the other enc
was mighty hilly and that it'f
bad pulling through sand ant
up hill. Yours, &C.,

A SOLAR PHENOMENON.

Many people throughout Nes- /
tern North Carolina, are now |
discussing the very mysterious |
phenomenon which appeared in |
the heavens day before yester-
day, and seems To have been
visible in few sections. It
was in an immense circle, with
a white misty circumference
drawn upon the northern hea-
vens with the sun located upon
its southern circumference.
Around the sun was a smaller,
but still large circle, the circum-
ference of which had all the
colOrs of the rainbow in it.
There were other circles and
parts of circles, with circum-
ferences only partly defined, in
which the rainbow colors COIN
mingled cOncentrical with the
large, rainbow circle around the
sun. At the points where these
circumferences and parts of cir
cnmserences crossed the great
white circle. whose southern
edge seemed to cover the sun.
the effect in color was brilliant.
The sun was on the circum-
ference of large white circle,
and was only the center of the
smaller rainbow circle. The
day was clear, not cloudy. There
were sl1ght accumulations Of
haze about in the heavens, but
the sun shone brightly throu yh
the thickest of it, gathered to-
gether in the circumference of
the circle.
The curious sight attracted
much attention. and caused
many an eye to water from
strain, and whenever the Cir
cumference of one circle crossed
the periphery of another, a
bright point was accentuate5,
which was SO glaring that it
hurt the eyes to look at it, and
it was evidently picture of
the sun mirrowed forth from
the cloud. There were a half
dozen of these solar photographs
and that fact made the whole
brilliant scene very difficult to
observe. 1t was thought by
some that they observed the
rainbow circle surrounding the
sun and cutting the great circle
at two points, reproduced twice
around the great circle, making
three rainbow circles grouped
around the circumference of
the great circle. The whole
picture was visible thirty min
utes, gradually fading away.

The GOOD WIFE: 1t il not to

when young man calls to see
= lady send him into the pantry
to taste the bread aud cake she
has made; send him to inspect
the needlework and bedmaking;
or put q broom in his hand and
send him TO witness It's use.
Such things are important, and
the wise young man will quick
ly look after them. But what
the true young man wants with
a wife is her companionship,
sympathy and love. The way
OF life has many dreary places
in it, and Q man needs a wife to
90 with him.
A man IS sometimes over
taken by misfortune; he meets
with failures and defeat; trials
and temptations beset him, and
he needs one to stand by and
sympathize. He has some hard
battles to fight with poverty,
enemies and sin, and he needs
q woman that, when he puts his
arm around her, he feels he has
something to fight foi; she will
help him to fight; she will put
her lips to his ear and whisper
words Of counsel, and her hand
to his heart and impart inspira-
ton. All through life, through
storm and through sunshine,
conflict and victory, through
adverse and through favoring
winds, man needs q wOman's
