with their families, will raise the popula-

FINANCIAL.
When tho Mining, Manufacturing, and
Land Company was incorporated il was
the signal that Basic City was born to
live. and in less than week after its in
CORPORATION all OF its capital stock,
amounting TO 300, 900, had been taken,
and an impetus given TO building plants
which represent millions of dollars. In
five months values have advanced rapid
Iy. many dwellings, have been built,
great progress has been made in supply
ing the place with stores, church and
school facilities have been provided for,
and a beautiful hotel has been erected.
THE HOTEL.
This botel-the Hotel Brandon-is, as
have stated in previous letter, stu
atetj on one Of the most beautiful sites in
Basic City, and commands a splendid
view both Of its back ground OF monn-
tains and the South river, as that pretty
stream winds through the eastern and
oround the western limits of the place.
II is a most striking example of the
architects conceit. and l predict
that it will become favorite
summer resort, as added to its
other attractions is the proximity of a
lithia spring that discharges 600 gallons
of pure, health-restoring water per
minute. / also predict that this
spring, the waters of which have
been piped to q reservoir on an
eminence above the town, will result
in the building around the hotel park Of
numerous summer cottages here, most
desirable locations for which will be
offered at the sale of the Basic City
Mining, Manufacturing and Land Com
pany on the Sd and 4th OF December.
This company, as its name indicates, is
comprehensive in its plans for the i'm
provement and the development Of
Basic City, and the entire management
Of Basic City affairs is such as to insure
confidence.
THE FURNACE.
The capacity of the furnace is 100 tons,

Paratolo,d the Name

Professor Koch suggests that his con-
sumption remedy be called paratoloid in
the prescriptions TO be handed to the
chemists.
One Of the most remarkable incidents
about the PRONUNCIATION of Professor
KoCH's great invention was that the
Berlin papers received the news by way
of New York and London, quoting in
several cases the New York San and the
London Times twenty-four hours after
wards by cable as the source Of their in
formation. DIR. LEVY, who Is one of the
Professors assistants, in explanation of
this curiously roundabout method OF
bringing Goals to Newcastle, says "that
he had bargained with the German press
not TO mention the matter until they
were officially notified of the results OBJ
tanned
Professor KOCH has q brother living
in st. Louis, who told areporter Sunday
that the Professor (RoBERT) is the third
of thirteen children, the first nine of
whom were boys, and he added:
According to the laws Of Hanover
when mother gives birth to seven male
children in succession the King must be
godfather TO the seventh and the mother
receives an elegant silver present from
the Government.
"Whie the rest of US spent our leisure
time fishing and hunting Robert de-
voted his hours to study and observation,
and one of his favorite pastimes was TO
study lichens and moses under the mi
croscope. At seventeen he had COM
pleted his course in the high school of
Clausthal, Hanover, but was unable to
enter the University of Gottingen until
he was eighteen. AT the university no

taking il away from hundreds OF senior

Posen, where he first began the study of

matters of record.

R.srn Cry. November -, 1890.

Tbore il a tradition that the old-time
stooe.driver who "drove the route" be-
tween Richmond and Staunton, and who
could put his four-horse team in aud out
Of n stake and ride fence corner and not
touch rail, always "whooped it from
the ton of tho mountain to Waynes-
borough without stop, even If on the
run he lost wheel, broke lynch-pin,
or left q trunk dangling from tree.
Two reasons are assigned for this, and [
leave the public TO decide upon the cor
rect one. Some soy that the average
stage-driver was always dry, and that
Waynesborough was the first Liquid
ating" place for man and beast
this side OF the mountain. Others
declare that no stage-driver ever
drove over the mountains without losing
one OF more Of his "gallus buttons, and
that before the days Of the extension OF
the old Central railroad from Charlottes-
vile to Stanton Waynesborough did
the biggest business in "gallus" buttons
of anv town in Virginia, not excepting
Scottsyille, where under my own per-
sonal observation "Uncle Jimmy Dull "
had 10 invest in "gallus" anchorage
after making the trip down the other
side on an unusually fast schedule and
through eight hundred head of cattle in
order to catch the canal boat for Rich
mond.

that if one of my old stage-drivers were
now called upon to hold the lines over

subject Of investigation for demonstra-
ton Immediately after its discovery

Won Ruck expects TO be absent about
five weeks and intends to return with all
the material, instruments, and informa-
ton necessary to successful applica-
ton Of Professor Koch's discovery. He
will be one Of the first to do 50 on this

Tom Emry's Farm Question.
CORRESPONDENCE Of the Richmond Dlspatch.l
WELDON, N. c., Nov II, 1890.
The suit OF Major T. L. Emry, Of
this place, against the Raleigh and Gas
ton railroad in the Halifax Superior
Court is occupying the attention of
considerable number of people tins week.
There are thirty-one witnesses-eleven
for the plaintiff and twenty for the rail-
road company. A splendid array Of
counsel is on either side. Major Emry
is represented by r. o. Burton, Jr., Of
Richmond, and Captain r. b. PEBBLES,
of Northampton. Colonel Hinsdale, OF
Raleigh, and Captain W. II. Day, of this
place, appear for the company. The suit
is for 81, 800. Major Emry claims that
he is damaged this amount by
the railroad company which skirts his
model farm, on account of the culyert at
Chockegotte creek not being largo
enough to allow the water OF the creek
TO pass through in times OF freshets and
that the water ponds upon his lands.
The railroad company, on the other hand,
maintains that the water comes from the
Roanoke river, which floods the farm,
and that the railroad company instead
of obstructiug the water which comes
down the creek holds back q considera-
bic quantity OF the river water and is a
protection TO the land. The case will
probably consume several days of the
court this week.

Ar the joint debate, held on the Mili- tary Plaza, Phoenix, last Saturday, be- tween ex-Governors Powers and Zulick, the latter, not to be outdone by anyone, boasted that he, as well as Mir. Powers, had military record, and diffused information to the effect that, after fighting nobly for his country, offering his blood and services for the preserva- ton of the Union, he returned covered with wounds and glory, to hang his gory sword on the wall and to resume the pursuits of civil liie.. He let it appear, also, that he returned with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, in regiment of Pennsylvania's noblest sons. Feeling assured that the squatty politician from New Jersey lacked bravery enough to be soldier, even as he lacks a number of other excellent attributes, TIE. REPUB- LIcAN telegraphed to Harrisburg, Penn sylvania, to see if, in the records on file in the office of the Secretary of State, there was mention of such a person. dSt us V. htNtl <IullCh ol IiiC iOii Oi officers of the citizen soldiery, who rushed to the defense of the Union and their State. Yesterday the following telegram was received:
 HARRISBURG, Pa, october 20, 1890. To ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, Phoenix, A. T.
 Pennsylvania records show no officer by the name of c. Meyer Zulick. c. W. s.
 Can it be that this demagogue is masquerading as an old soldier, as he also masquerades as an honest man? To | be ranked as one of the Nations defend- CTS has been his dearest wish, if his efforts to gain admission to the Grand Army post at Prescott be fair to judge from. He could not secure admission to the post, an honor that is the due of any old soldier, for he had no war record to show. Putting these things together, does it not seem as though Zulick's boast of his military record is only a lie ? Does 1t not seem as though he, the ass, is seeking to cover his tell-tale ears with the lions skin? Nothing better could have been expected from this person but the continued evidence of his de- pravity will surely cause q rebuke at the polls that will send him back in igno- miny to his home on the Atlantic shore.
