AsheyiIle Junction's New Name

To the Editor:- long as il was pro.
posed to name only Mr.. Vanderbilt S cs.
tate Biltmorc there was little reason for
public comment though the name seemed
hardly up TO the charming possibilities oi
ono Of the finest natural situations IN
North Carolina. Mr.. Vanderbilt might
have called il Bilkmore or Morcbilk.
Milkmore OF Morcmilk, and il would
have been none Of our affair. Hut il is
now stated that the name of Ashcvillc
Junction is to bc changed To Biltmorc.
This is a public matter. We protest.
Why? First, the name itself is ugly
enough to sour sweet milk. Second we
hear no demand from the interested par.
tics, residents of the Junction, for the
change. Third, the change is purely an
arbitrary one and, IL We are rightly in.
formed, was made by the railway com.
pany that delights in squeezing the very
life blood out Of Ashcvillc by the highest
possible freight rates. Fourth, the change
is petty exhibition Of pure snobbery.
Geo. Vanderbilt owns Biltmorc. Geo.
Vanderbilt is rich man. Hence let scall
Ashcville Junction after him. Next We
shall have Biltmorc hotel, Biltmorc
park, Biltmore street, Biltmorc block,
Biltinorc sheep, cows. ducks, cloth, and
last as usual the Biltmorc hustle.
Mr. Vanderbilt is n thoroughly welcome
addition to North Carolina and Ashcvillc,
but really we could spare Biltmorc as the
name Of a public railway station.

whom he has been separated since lac
of 12.
Twenty-Five years ago, when the wal
closed and the Northern soldiers wer,
preparing to leave for their homes, Cole
man, then mere hoy, lived on Beaver
dam. His father had been tailor il
Asheville, but ut his death the family
consisting of the mother. three daughters
and Daniel, moved out of the city. The

left the city he went with them. He did

ure.
The regiment with which the youth
cast his fortunes was from Indiana, and
in one Of the companies was man who
took liking to him and with whom he
lived for some time after reaching that
State.
His family were of course in ignorance
of his hereabouts. and during all the
years that followed he never heard OF
them.
A few years after he reached the Hoo
sier State he went to work ON railroad
as brakeman. Gradually he rose to
conductor, and few years later he was
holding what he now has, n lucrative po.
sition in the offices of the company.
The years went by, and finally he was
filled with desire to know something of
his family. He wrote to his mother. but
the letter was returned. He wrote to
several Of the neighbors, but the letters
all came back with stamp ON them:
mo such person gets mail at this Office"
Then he decided to personally look into
the matter, and he started for his old
home
Yesterday he arrived and started to
look up some of his friends of years ago.
They were all dead or had moved away.
He went to some of the oldest residents
of the city and made inquiries OF his
mother and sisters. None knew of them.
Then he searched the records for their
names, but like the former il WAS fruit
less, and last night he had almost de-
SPARED Of finding them.
He will remain here for sometime and
will search the surrounding country.

night, "for could not stand more of this

A striking instance Of the incapacit, -,
of a negro State, left to itself to develop
and utilize its natural resources, is found
in the negligence or Incidence of the nc
grocs OF the Haytian republic. The
island of St. Domingo or Hayti was
soon found to Ike admirably adapted to
the culture of sugar and coffee; and at
the time Of the uprising of the slaves and
the massacre or expulsion of the whites.
was perhaps the most productive of all
the West India islands in those mpor-
tant commercial staples. Both of these
were exotics; but so wonderfully did
they thrive that they are now apparently
indigenous. The coffee covers large
part of the island, forming dense thick
cts, but bearing abundantly, the berry
holding high rank among the cohees.
and always in demand; and at the pres
ent time when prices have advanced SO
greatly it might seem that avarice, il not
interest, would Ike stimulated to increase
supplies from natural sources. SUIT
these only engage certain amount of
indolent effort, and probably three
fourths Of the wild berry goes to waste
while artificial cultivation is almost
wholly abandoned. The same indigo
nous character has been assumed by the
sugar cane, which now forms vast cane
brakes OF a degenerated, yet still pro-
ductive, plant; and from this nearly the
whole supply OF sugar for home consump-
tion or export is produced.
The white occupiers of the island
brayed all the terrors Of n tropical eli
mate SO fatal, at least enervating, to-
European constitutions to turn to ad-
vantage the bounteous resources Of an
exuerant soil, and converted the whole
land into an agricultural paradise or
treasure house. Their black successors,
10 whom the climate is admirably con-
genial, have suffered il to relapse into n
wilderness out of which unaidcd nature
ieals out n capricious and inadequate
return. This illustrates iorcibly the dii-
erencc in race characteristics.

New YORK, February 17th.-Mrs. Burke
Roche, the beauty whose marriage to the
brother of Lord Fermoy, the Irish peer,
nire years ago, is still remembered because
of its royal magnificence, will sue her hus-
band for divorce. Mrs. Roche is the
daughter of Frank Work, the millionaire
stock broker Miss Work met Roche while
she was abroad. He is man of striking
physique, and his family is one of the old
est and best in Ireland. Their wedding re-
ception was very expensive. Roche took
the bride to England, where, like many
other American heiresses who have mar
ried into noble families, she found her hus-
bands love for her pocket-book was greater
than his love for herself
Burke Roche depended on his father to
maintain his household. His moons ancy
was common gossip, and his excesses
finally became so flsgrant that Mrs. Roche
returned TO America with her three chill
dren. She lived with her father on Madi-
son square. A few months ago she went
to Wilmington, Delaware, where she has
taken up her residence, rumor says, in
order to make herself eligible for divorce
in London, through the Legislature.

the front again in certain parts of this

Wood and his wife were both taken from
their hoIneand numerically beaten on the
back with switches, and compelled to leave
the county and the State. They passed
through Parkersburg yesterday, and told
horrible story of their suffering and treat

The wife says that after whipping her
husband the mob caught her while she was
trying to escape from the house with her
children, and tied her to tree. She was
then beaten until the blood came. Mrs.
Wood says that the whole cause for the
outrage was her resistance of the improper
