MEDLEY FROM THE POETS.

The moon was shining silver bright
An bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
When freedom, from her mountain height
Exclaimed: Now. don't be foolish, Joel'
An hour passed on-the Turk awoke;
A bumblebee went laundering by
To hover in the sulphur smoke
And spread its pail upon the sky.
His echoiag ak the woodman swung;
He was a lad OF high renown:
And deep the pearly caves among.
Giles Seroggins courted Mollie Brown
Loud roars the wind in constant blast,
And cloudless sets the sun At even,
When twilight dews are falling fast,
And rolls the thunder drum OF heaven.
o. ever thus from childhood's hour.
By torch and trumpet fast arrayed,
Beneath yon ivy-mantled tower
The old frog croaks hls serenade.
Ny love Is like the red, red rose;
He bought ring with posey true:
Sir Barney Bodkin broke his nose,
And, Saxon, / am Roderick Dhu.

a Suit of Wnkie Collins, Clothes.

The tweed suit that Wilkie Collins
purchased in Philadelphia as he passed
through the city SO many years ago is
still here. The novelist by accident
ruined one that he brought over with
him by spilling broth over it and stepped
across Chestnut street to invest in a
new one before returning to his hotel.
Collins instructed the tailor to send the
spoiled one to his rooms, and when he
gave his name the clothier said, Are
you the author of No Name and 'Arma-
dale?'" " Wilkie had to own up, and the
tailor was overcome with pleasure, an
nouncing that he was the most sincere
admirer of Collins in America. Cn-
fortunately the suit was not Il good fit,
but the novelist had too much delicacy
to acquaint his sincere admirer with the
fact. So the garments We're relegated
to George II. Boxers attic, where they
remained over a generation.-Philad
phia Press.

The First Sleeping Car.

No single thing has contributed more
to the comfort of modern life than the
Pullman car. Its inventor, George NJ.
Pullman, worked out the details of his
invention while merchant in Colorado
in 1859. In 1864 he carried his idea to
Chicago and employed a master car
builder of the Alton road at n salary of
800 Il month to superintend the con-
struction of model car The inventor
was determined that 1t should be the
handsomest car in all respects that had
ever been made in the country. He
came on to New York and here hap
pened to meet the artist who had just
decorated the house of Samuel J. Til
den. He at once closed with this artist,
took him west and set him at work dec
Grating the car.
When the Pioneer was finished it had
| cost the extraordinary sum of $4,000, a
| large price even now for n sleeping car.

THE AsHEVII.IE LIBRARY.

With the temporary change of its loca-
tion to No. 8 Court square, there is
marked for the Asheville library an i'm
portant step in it's career. 1t seems to
be understood that-equipped as it is for
larger service than heretofore-a move
ment is on foot by which this institution
will, in all probability, before very long,
occupy a building of it's own. To this
end the cooperation of every intelligent
reader of this newspaper is requested.
The reading public in Asheville
is undoubtedly increasing and the high
value of this associations far-reaching
influence constantly becomes more and
more apparent to those well qualified to
observe it's status. In touch with similar
establishments in older communities and
alive to the demands of this growing
section, it is believed that in building ot
it's own and with Asheville's intelligent
encouragement at it's back, it's beneficial
influence, already felt by several towns
in our own neighborhood, may be made
to embrace range extending through
the whole of Western North Carolina.
Any thoughtful person will perceive at
a glance the incalculable value to al
classes of wide diffusion of that kind o.
influence which has been embodied in the
expression, "those brain-generators
called books"

THIS REMINDS US.

Reminded thereto by a current para
graph stating that the number OF liquor
men in the Board of Aldermen of New
York City is proportionally very large,
the Charlotte Observer recalls a cartoon
of Puck's several years ago. 1t repre-
sented the New York Board OF Alder
men in session-but let the Observer tell
it:
"A small boy peered in at a door and
said: Mister, your saloons on FIRE
The next scene represented the honorable
Board of Aldermen in a panic. Desks
were overturned. chairs upset, cuspidors
went spinning over the floor and the
members fell over each other, each try
ing to beat the other to the door. There
was not a man in the outfit but SUP
posed that the boy had addressed him
and that it was his property that was
being consumed"
This reminds one of an old joke of r. ]
Burdette's. 1t was to the effect that one
man bet another that at least one
half of the members Of the New York
Herald reportorial staff were Irish. Tc
settle the matter they went to the Her
aid Office, and, putting their heads
through the doorway, called out
"Pat!" Out of the twenty-three mer
present all but four rose up and and said
:Phwat? ?"
