A Crystalized Quartz which Con-
tains a Drop of water.
Yesterday THE CITIZEN contained an
item about curiosity in the office of the
geological survey in Washington, in the
shape of mineral which was filled with
water.
1t is learned today that probably as
interesting a curiosity can be seen in
Asheville. 1t is the property of Alexan.
der, the jeweler, 35 South Main street.
The curiosity referred to is piece of
crystalized quartz nearly as large as a
guinea egg, in which can be plainly seen
drop OF water, which moves from one
side to the other as the quartz is turned.
The curiosity was left with Mr.. Alexan-
der about nine months ago as surety for
the payment of a small bill. Mr.. Alex.
ander has had several offers for the quartz
but will not part with it.
Mr. Alexander also showed THE CITI

THE OLDEST PETITION.

The railway commissioners have re-
ceived petition from the eastern part
of the state asking to order an increase
of the freight rate on certain railway.
The reason given for this desired change
is that formerly steamers ran on the

freight rates so low that it drove the
steamers out of business. The petition

up the steamers will again be put on.

THE POPE AND THE FAIR.
HIS Holiness AppIauds Americas
Efforts to Honor Columbus.

ROME, March 16.-Mr. Thomas B.
Bryan. special commissioner to Italy for
the Chicago Worlds Fair, has received
the following letter from his Holiness
Pope Leo KILL:
Greetings: While we see on all sides
the preparations that are eagerly being
made for the celebration of the Colum-
bian centenary, feasts in memory Of a
man most illustrious and deserving of
christianity and all cultured humanity,
we hear with the greatest pleasure that
the United States have, among other ma
tions, entered this competition OF praisein in
such a manner as BELTS both the vast
ness and richness OF the country and the
me mory OF the man so great as he whom
these honors are being shown. Nothing,
certainly, could be more splendid than
what is told us of the grand and magnh-
cent exposition which the nation will
hold at Chicago, bringing ogether every
kind of produce and work which fruit
full ature bears and the artful industry
of man creates.
The success of this effort will surely be
another proof of the great spirit and ac-
tive energy of the people who undertake
enormous and difficult tasks with such
great and happy daring. We rejoice,
moreover, in the nobility of the purpose,
which is equal in greatness to the under
taking itself, 1t is testimony of homer
and gratitude to that immotal man OF
whom we have spoken, who, desirious OF
finding a road by which the light and
truth and all the adornments of civil cul-
cure might be carried to the most dis
tant parts OF the world, could neither be
deferred by dangers nor wearied by la
bors, until, having in a certain manner
renewed the bond between two parts
of the human race so long separated, he
bestowed upon both such benefits that
he in Justice may be said to have few
equals or superior.
"While, therefore, we bestow on the
citizens Of the great republic well-merlted
praise, we express the iervent hope that
: their noble undertaking may, other ma
tions uniting with them and lending aid.
have most prosperous issue that Will
prove of great use i'll stimulating the III
genuity OF man in promoting the devel-
opment of nature and encouraging all

returns to Berlin. The question was not
