A Gold Winter Promisea.

Loren Cushmau, an aged Farmer Of Ply
mouth. Chenango, county, n. Y, has quite a
reputation as reliable weather prophet ard
whenever he mskes Representation his
friends and acqnsintances regard il rs worthy
of credenee. Mr. Gusbnan believes the COM
ing winter will be an unusually severe one,
and bases his opinion on the following
grounds: First, The husks on corn are muca
thicker than usual, and of a deep orange tint,
instead of light lemon hue. Second, tie
hogs melt runs jagged, instead Of smooth,-
Third, .he goose bone taken from Maj rails
ed fowl shows larger and whittier spots than
Gu stonary, which resemble the canals of
Mars. Fourth, the crop of nuts of all kinds
Is immense and the squirrels and chipmnnks
are laying in prodigious stores early in The
season. Fifth, the partridges and woodcork
are lighting in barns and outhouses, instead
of trees, and ducks are flying in U-shaped
instead of V-shaped, hocks toward the south.
Sixth, the green frogs are changing their
skins aud are even now seeking cool wells
and springs for their winter quarters. Mr..
Cushman believes the coming winter will be
the most severe this country has experienced
since the winter Of 1883.

WASHINGTON. May 16.-The Washing
ton Post says the following language
was used by Secretary Carlisle in an
authorized interview as to the removal of
Sturtevant, head of the treasury station
ary division. who has been in the depart
ment 80 years and whose retention w as
understood to have been requested by
Carl Schurz and other civil service re-
formers:
"This change was made after mature
deliberation and upon complaints from
responsible persons sufficient to warrant
a new appointment. The idea that
any officer under this government is
essential to it's efficient administra-
ton is absurd. 1 propose to put
in his place an able and broad gauge
man, who will manage the purchases ol
stationary Just as well as the deposed
official. The criticism INDUCED in comes
wholly from a paper which knows moth
ing about the details which brought
about the change.

EDITOR THE CTrIzEN:-I left Yellow
Hill on the morning of May S, recrossing
the beautiful Ocono1uftee river which
sweeps down through the mountains
amid which are situated the lands of the
Cherokees of Western Carolina. Yellow
Hill Institute is located on the western
bank of the river. This educational CEN
tire for the Cherokee Indians presents the
the appearance of a nice village. The
school buildings aud boarding houses
are painted white. as are several of the
Indian residences. Ex-Chief Smith and
his SOn-in-law Blythe live in good houses
and are both prominent men in their
tribe. called on Chief Smith at his
house where he has been conhed by ser
iOus illness for several months. He talks
freely and sensibly about the affairs of
the Yellow Hill school, and thinks it all
important that the school should be con-
tlnued by government support, and
that a first class southern man should be
given control oft.
whittier.
From Yellow Hill I came to Whittier
on the r. & d. railroad, which village is
well located on the Tukasegee river, in
Swain county. The town enterprise has
fallen low in the scale of progress since
the death of Mr.. Whittier, its founder.
His grave is on the top of a small peak
overlooking the village.
rom w h1Ct1cr TOOe up TO LDe DeSto Oh
Con1y's creek and over into Macon
county across the Larkv motntain.
which is one of the extensions of the
Cowee range. Descending along the
waters of Cowee creek, l came to the
Tennessee river near Vests Mills and
went up the river to Franklin, which is
| situated on this river.
Macon county court was to have
| opened on Monday. Sth of May, but
| Judge Graves failed to appear until Mon
| day evening. So the court did not open
till Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday evening. May 9, started
up Little Tennessee river and passed
through it's rich and fine valleys. On
Wednesday, 10th. l crossed the State
line into Rabun county, Ga.
| At this writing am at Rabun's Gap
postoffice, in the bed of the ancient
| channel which once connected the main
| ocean with the inland sea which spread
| over Macon and other counties of Wes

Near me is the grade Of the old Charles
| ton and Cincinnati railroad which wa:
l surveyed and built before the war. How
easily Macon county could be connected
with the railroads on either side of thi
| line were it finished.
Viewed from the horse block, where
now sit writing, the surrounding seen
cry is magnificent. All around, higl
