Uncle Remus, II the little boy ran Into bis
cabin, the night after be had heard the story
of how Brother Babbit ecalded Brother Wolf

???I done tell you 'bout Brer Babbit matin???

Brer Bibblt got ole Brer Wolfou t'n f r mlghly
bad fix."
"No," said the little bay, "you haven't, and
tbat'a just what I have como for now.???
Uncle Bemuslooked at the rafters, then at
the little boy, and finally broke into a loud
laugh,
???I 'clar ter goodness," he exclaimed, ad
dressing the imaginary third person to whom
he related the most of his grievance, "I ,einr
ter goodness cf dat ar chile aint gittln??? so dat

The old man paused long enough to give
the little la y some uneasiness, and then con
tlnued:

Wi.ba wild bound, he clutched (Jesperately at

though not soltly, In tho guitor.*
For a moment his overwrought brain kept him
moving uneasily: but gradually sweet Morpheus
spread hl< soft wltrgs of real above the llred form
and the parson sweetly slept.
In Ibis cce; couch the policeman found him: and
the aborn was tho loitlmeny of a witness in the
recorder's court, the followlt g morplng.
The parson was now sober, hut the recent frolic
had left deep traces cf misery un Ills aged face,
and great , I sin i of red mud on hla coat.
Wbat aay you In the charge?" demanded Iho
court.
The solemn eyes of Parson Orlpp
???lowly lough! the recorder's face, aa he replied:

In what Way?" growled hla honor.
You aeo, Jcdge, I'm nut a native of your fair
and glorious city, although 1 expect Io b
Yes. For thirty-five days, anyhow," laughed
the recorder.

the parson, "a* Iwaa about Io remark, I live far

Mow'd you git here???walk?"
???No, atr; I oamotu alyle; had a berth on aUrecn

"Yes; go an."

Hail, gentle spring! I've started to ting
that aorg several times of late, and it hails
cure enough just before I get ready. The
poet says, ???ethereal ralidnen cogac!" bat it
Is all elhereal wildness this vernal seacon.
There is nothing settled yet, Lsit week I
thought $!ie winter wag over, and to I vra
turai out among the mountains of North
Carolina for a little pleasure aud recreaiicn.
After I left Charlotte I traveled over a little
railroad that ran;, or walks, or pikes along
from Chariot :e to Statesville. This road is 42
miles ehort end aix hours long, and baa been
entered end registered as a aecand-clau con
cern in all respects. It has no switches or
elde tracks and but one locomotive, and al
ways carries it* freight before and ila passeip
gsra behind, and never shows a red flag j u
frontor a lantern in the rear. It shtu>???j the
day and runs at night, leaving Charlotte at 8
p. m. and arrive* at the other cad at 2 p.
We stopped one hour nnd a quarter atone
station to unload guano and at other stations
according, audit waa jerk and bump and
bump and Jerk nearly ail the lime, so that a
mutt eouldent sleep if lie warned io. I won-
drr wbat syndicate that road belongs to!
Well, after all, I reckon they do the be???i they
cud, ami it is belter than the old way of
staging it st four in lies au hoar and h ing
crowded on your seat by day and by nigui.
This road is a near cut, and ia one bide of *
tiiangle, but a traveler can go round by Bal
ishury for a dollar more ami lose no lime aud
unload no guano. After we hoarded Ihu
Western Norih Carolina, we steamed along
in good style, aud by aunrise found we went
rising higher and higher among the moun
tains. The eye feasted upon tne beauty and
grandeur of the far off ranges, and as we rose
higher find drew nearer to them, we became
transfixed with solemn wonder and admira
tion. After while we retched the breakfast
bouse at Round Kuob, and had a delicious
morning meal, and saw Ihe fountain that
plays 270 feet high???tho highest In We world???
the water that gees upand never comisduwn
hut vanishes into mist or freezes into ice.
This house is solitary and stuck on to the
cliffs, and is two stories Idgli on one aide ami
u good many more on the other. The moun
tain peaks close it up, as it were, in this ro
mantic gorge where the sun doesent rlso un
til next day and goes down before dinner.
Oq leaving the breakfast house we began tbn
.-croon tliiu ascent of tha highest ridge of ail,
atid winding around and around aud cros-ittg
frightful ravines, and buriitg through several
tunnels we gained two utiles in distance by
traveling eleven. At o te peint we saw four
tracks Iml.iw us that we had Juit come over,
and they looked like liuie parallels drawn on
a bories of terraces. The laat tunnel wasl.800
feet long, and wlton we emerged from tn??t
we were un theotber tide of the range am!
could almost see over into the lap of Ashe
ville. The engineering uf this road was a
masterpiece of'science, and the engineer it
inaaier of his profession. It is enough tossy
of any man that ito surveyed and i.icat-.i
this road. Indeed it beema impossible for
human feet to have found sufficient footing
upon these sleep down clifia and slopes to
have ever dragged a oboln or planted a tri
pud. Blit the wore is dune, and aceuis Io be
woll done, and now tUcy are filling all ibe
trestle crossings with earth, nnd draining ell
the alulcas and water ways that bring their
torrents down with a mighty rush.
The opening of tills wonderful thorough,
fare has brought two regions together that
have been as far apart ?? if an ocean had
rolled between. Tennessee and North Caro
lina have keen introduced to each other and
altakeu hands, not ucro-e a bloody chaem, but
over the peaceful crest oi mountains that
readied a peaceful sky. I bad heard of Ashe
ville for many years asa faroff village among
the hilts, but now itseemsto me a new fouuu
laud, aud bus all uf a sudden put 'on her
hesutiliil garments aadcumt. forth as a bride.
They tell me that the summers are uiwuya
cunt in this laud of the sky, arid 1 reckon
that is so. I know that the day i erotgid the
mountain was warm and fair at home, aud
my folks thought spring had aurely come,
but the mountains uver litem were covered
with snow, and i could have broken from the
dill's that were but a foot or so from tna car
windows icicles a yard long, and as large at
their b>se as the wrist of a man.
Oil arriving at Asheville I f mud the tem
pirn tiro mero plcauiutand tha fruit treea all
in bloom, ami saw the gardenerBat work, and
the spring ??uemed fully as ftr advanced aa I
hud left it at my home in north Ueoigia.
But l saw hardly any sign uf farming going
on. Indeed, I ill dent find out to my tatis-
flhjllvu Where Iti# people of that section did
farm, forilie whole CMairy seemedozjh??? Ut-
tail's upon mountains???mountains without
Talleys. lireD the French Broad and the
Mtumiuun rivers it id to sdtiggle hard to get
in nud harder to getOUi, and taerqwas little
or no botloin land to border these beautiful
stream*. I did sec a little long, narrow rib-
lion < f land in one place cn the bunk of the
French Btoad, aud theragerselt er* grabbed it
and buiit a town upon it aud called it. Mar
shall and made it a cuunty seat and put up a
court Jtouse and u j>il. This ribbon is juat
wide enough for the railroad aud one street
and one row of houstaa half mile long.
Tnere waa one little bench of land up on the
side of the bluff, end so by bias.log out ou
one snU' and wailing up un the other they
did find roctn enough to build a church and
it looked right proud up there aud was a
wllutas that the people remembered their
maker and gave Him the b e. they bed. This
Is the town and tins Ihe place where they
aay ptg.edsbora were Urst invented, and it
came uiout became the lowu shoemaker
didrut have room euougb to pull ibe waxed
cuds out their full ling, it without hitting his
elbows against a uu.uulaiu on onaside or the
other and so I ??? invented peg. tha. he could
s-r.ko up and uuwu perpeuarcular and have
plenty of rtH.ui.
Asheville is the coauty seat of Buncombe,
ihe county that long years ago seut a man to
the legislature aud lie made a speeeu half a
dsy tong, and everynoJy but ihespeaker and
the clerk ,ell the ball and alter while the
speaker called bis ai'iuliuh io Ihe vacant

Abtbcb or. Blaise ???Dark horse) captnred
tbe last two republican nominations for
the presidency. No such accident will
happen this time. It ia is certain ae any thing
in the future can be that the prize will fall to
one of two men???Arthur or Bitine. This
borrowing down of the tittle has given rise to
a spirit of antagonism that Will become sharp
before the third of Jane. Arthur has beam
writing sweet tempered letters to his frienda-
telling them that be will make no effort for
tbe nomination, if he sees a prospect that his
candidacy will dlstnrb the harmony of tho
party. If these professions were sincere when-
expressed, tbe time for them has passed and
the president is now into tho cam psign with
no hope of retirement nntil he is nominated
nr rejected. Tbe test of strength will come,
in tbe very first step; toward organizing the
convention. Tbe decision in cases of disputed
representation will, probably, be fatal to one
or other leading esneidates. Enough of such
delegations to tarn the scale may be expect
cd.
Arthur and Blaine will be so near together
that the twenty four votes ot Virginia may
turn the scale. Two sets of delegates are cer
tainly to come from that state. Mabone le
working him-elf to death tor Arthur. Dezen-
dorf, Wickham and other republican leaders
are arranging to send Blaine delegates. With
both factions it is a life and death battle.
Mahone has nothing to hope for from Blaine.
Dezcndort has been made au outcast from
the public patronage by Arthur. Both sets
of delegaias will claim to represent the real
republican party of tlio elate.
Tho Blaine men when squarely
outvoted fa the Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
district bolted and will present a contesting
delegation. Seme aiguifi mice is atiached to
the recent appearance, a* yet in feeble em
bryo, of a ???while man???s republican party"
in Georgia. A faint hope ot a B.aine delega
tion tram Georgia is sometimes expressed.
Revolt from the domination of the adminis
tration bosses is threatened in AlaBama.
Robert Smalls, the colored congressman, has
just come from South Carolina with the-
report that a faint opposition was attempted
there bat that tbe Arthur men will have
things theirown way. A stubborn contest will
be had for the two delegates from the district
of Columbia, with Bob Ingersoll in the lead
of his "plumed knights??? forces.
Ail the other candidates have dwindled
into ??? comparative insignificance which mast
leave Blaine and Arthur almost rqually
strong when the conven'ion is organized. A
solid south below Virginia is virtually given
up to the administration. Blaine's sweep of
Pennsylvania and bis division ot New York
will start him well into the west where his
great strength lies. Edmunds will havelittle
strength outside of bis own- itate. One or two
more of the New England states will com
plete bis strongest pos-ible array. It is very
doubtful if Login carries his own state solid.
Outside his ca&didacy is a confessed farce*
John Shermnu may havo the Ohio delegation
as aoompliment but they will break from him
sooner than they did In 1880.
Blaine???s early derelopruent of strength is
making him liable to tbe same dangers that
crashed him in two former conveutions. Ed
munds and Arthur are known to understand
each other already. Arthur???s frienda aay a
vote for Edmunds is a vote for their man.
There ia no suspicion of an understanding
between Blaine and anv other candidate
for the first orseoond place on the ticket.
An alliance with Bob Lincola???e friends
is charged against him. Ltucoln???s nomina
tion for the vice presidency I consider a fore
gone conclusion. Blaioe is making his third
campaign for the nomination almost unaided
except by his own wonderful powers of
leadership. He has more enthusiasm behind
him than all the other candidates combined.
If defeated, he will fall beneath the trickery
of the politicians who envy aud fear him.
and who twice before have sunk all their
preferences and allied all their foaoea -to-
overcome him. Beyond all question he is
the choice of the republican masses in nearly
every state that can cast a republican electo
ral vote.
Edmukds and Lisoolv.???The republican
conference commitue held another meeting
in New York, at which General F. C. Bartow
presided. Letters from prominent republicans
throughout tbe country were read. It ap
peared from them that there was a strong
feeling in favor of Edmonds and Lincoln for
the presidential ticket. General Hawley???s
name was also frequently mentioned for the
second place. Although Blaine had many
friends, they were not enthusiastic, anu
many expressed grave doubts as to
his ability to carry Nrw York, and as to what
bis policy would be ifolHcted. It was the
general opinion of the independent republi
can?? that neither Blatua, Arthur nor Logan
were men whom it won Id he safe tor the party
to nomina'e, as the candidate should have a
better record than any of these men. It was
announced that the committee had engaged
a parlor and suite of twenty rooms in the
Pacific hotel, Chicsgo, for its use during the
coming national convention.
