WASHINGTON, Joly 18 -Conten? po raoeously with the announcement that ^ the Spanish Cabinet has agreed to pay .' the Mora claim, the treasury depart? ment has issued orders to the revenue marine to manifest increased vigilance io guarding the Sooth Atlantic coast to prevent filibustering expeditions for Coba departing from oar shores and to protect oor Southern seaports towns from tbe introduction of yellow fever frost Coba. , The croise of the foor revenue cut. & ters assigned to be patrolled is: Morrill, ?ft from Tampa to Cedar Keys ; Forward, BL from Pensacola to Cedar Keys ; Mc mm I<aoe, fro? Key West to Tam na ; Wt Hr nona, from Biscay to Key West. Tbe orders, which were long, stated: "in addition to yoor regalar dur ie* on der the customs mod navigation lairs, **v you are directed to pay ?trict attention to the enforcement of tbe neutrality laws. Io tbe coarse of your cruis? ing f?sh?og smacks, or other vessels from foreign ports, which may be found oear tbe coast without the intention of making a port of rbe Uni- j ted States, and not having on board a j bill of health signed by the consular officer of the United States at the for elga port from which the vessel last sailed, will be sent to the nearest quar? antine station to report to tbe medical officer io charge fur bis action. You will hail all craft from foreign ports fallen io with to ascertain whether there is sickness oo board, sod if ao affirmative reply be received the vessel will oot be boarded, bot you will order it, as above directed, and eu force the order. If the reply should be in the negative, you will see that the vessel is boarded by the sanitary inspector and thoroughly examined io the interest of the quarantine service, and by an offi? cer of yoor command under tbe cus? toms, navigation and neutrality laws.'* SAILING OF THE AMPHITRITK A telegram was received at tho navy department to-dsy announcing the sail? ing of the monitor Ampbitrite from Hampton Roads for Brunswick, 6a , where she goes to take the Georgia naval militia for a practice croise. From Brunswick she will go to Charles-{ too, S. C., where she will take oo board tba Charleston, Mount Pleasant and Beaufort militia division, about 150 meo. Next she will visit Wilmington, where she will take oo six divisions of the North Carolina naval militia. This program will occupy until August 8, after which the Amphitrite will sail for New York to join the North Atlantic squadron. The Bicycle Pace. A good deal is being said and writ ten about the "bicycle face," it be i og contended that bicyclists have a j peculiar expression that is common to riders of the wheel-an expression that is always present while riding, and which is maintained by many af? ter leaving their machines. The matter has been much discussed among the wheelmen and medical men, and the bicycle face has come to be an accepted fact. It was first brought to public notice by a London physician who wrote in the St. James Budget as follows : "They frequently wear an anxious look and an unwholesome pallor, which are so characteristic that one may almost speak of the 'bicycle face.' Watch them descend at an inn ; a good many exhibit anything but the exhilaration of healthy exer? cise. Seme are more than pale ; their faces have the peculiar gray hue wbieh betokens nervous exhaust? ion. And they complain of head? ache-a singular complaint fur young men engaged in an athletic pastime. This is true of so many as to bc quite noticeable, and to make people ask why bicyclists always *look so seedy.' .'The fact that the ill effects asso? ciated with the two wheeled machine are experienced with the tricycle, i altbuogh the latter entails far more exertion, gives a clue to what I he- j lieve to be the explanation. The dis- j tinguishing feature of the bicycle, I and especially of the safety, is the j ' difficulty of maintaining the equilib? rium 'Learning to ride' means mas-1 ? tering the art of keeping the machine j j upright. It has a tendency to fall to ! one side or the other all the time, j \ which has to be counteracted by a s special effort. The learner knows it 1 very weil to his cost, but once having , ) learned, he forgets about it and does j his balancing more or less automati? cally. Nevertheless the effort is still there and puts a constant though un- ti conscious effort upon the brain and ? E nervous system The reason why * the bicycle has to be 'learned' at all a ie that the centre of equilibrium in C the brain requires to be taught the business of doing its duty under (* novel circumstances The falling bicycle is maintained upright by a constant series of small muscular movements, which unconsciously ad? just the weight in the proper position, and are themselves controlled by a special brain centre situated at the back of the head. The strain upon this centre is incessant, though un? marked, and some people cannot stand it for more than a short tim?. This it is that causes the headache and the nervous exhaustion." The Tiniest nion man m Palm, i?each, Fia., says the report in regard fro filibustering expedite. - , sent from there to the Chicago Associated Pres?, are pure fabrications. Serious Encounter in Cuba. Government Troops Sustain Heavy Losses-Details Surpassed. SANTIAGO DK CUBA, July 17.-A ser? ious encounter has raken place between a body of insurgents and a government force in the country between Manga nillo and Bayamo. The rebels were victorious and it is said that the gov? ernment losses were heavy. Among rhe'killed was Gen. Santocildes, tbe Spanien, commander. Details of the engagement are suppressed by tbe gov? ernment Good For Texas. Tbe opinion of tb? attorney general of Texas destroys the last chance of having the Corbeff-Fitzsimmons fight io that state under ?auction of law. It is very doubtful if the proposed fight will be permitted anywhere in the United States and tbe probability is that it will be abi-fidnued altogether. New Orleans, so long the haven of prize-fighters, is now closed again?? their brutal encounters, and Florida is satisfied with a record of one such exhi? bition. Prize fighting is doomed in this country. It is condemned by common decency as well as morality and we shall probably oever again see one ruffian win a fortune by knocking another ruffian out.-Atlanta Journal. Georgia with no better lands theo South Carolina, and holding them for higher prices, is drawing a large share of the southern immigration. While we are waiting for them to come to a?, Georgia is going for them. They are making a great state out of Georgia.

Who gave Mr Irby the power to io vite white Republicans, Greenbackers, Populists, etc., etc.,.to participate io a Democratic primary ? Wheo be as ames that power does he looger rep- j resent the Democracy of South Caroli? na ?-Suhiter Item. Seoator Irby cannot claim that a primary in which Republicans, Popu? lists and Greenbackers have equal voice with Democrats, is a Democratic pri? mary. He call? the primary to be held OD the 30th a white mao's prima? ry, aud it is wini this understanding that Spartaoborg Conservatives agree to participate. The very fact that we have separate party machinery aod held a convention to deeide whether we would go io or not, is conclusive that we are oot bound to follow Irby, and that the primary was unauthorized. Spartanburg Herald. The Conservatives have not acted in bad faith though the Reformers jumped the gutter io the equal division scheme Unless the other counties-the Reform counties-yeid a part of their delegations to Conservaties, the Conservative lead? ers in their counties where equal division bas been determined upon will find it difficult to carry oat the compact io the general election.-Edgefield Monitor.

To The Most Beautiful Spot on Earth. CHIMNEY ROCK, N. C. W HY 2 -^ecause it *s not on^J tne most beautiful spot on earth ll Ii I . mth. its grand water falls, pretty little glenns, tower? ing mountains and magnificent views, but it is the most pleasant place in the mountains. It is away from the bustle and noise of railroads, and is, therefore, the best place to gain health and see real pleasure. How do you get there from Atlanta, Ga., Norfolk, Ya., Wilmington, N. C., or intermediate points ? Parties going to Chimney Rock take the Seaboaed Air Line Trains, which are the best equipped of any line of Road in the South. The Sea? board Air Line carries Chimney Rock visitors to Rutherfordton, from which point a connecting line of stages carries them over a splendid mountain road, through valleys, and by a beautiful river with its ever changing scenery. What Hotel Shall I Stop At ? By all means stop at the Mountain View Inn, conducted by Mr. George P. Horton and his estimable wife. The hotel is new, the furniture and fittings of the best, and the surroundings well kept. From the hotel is a grand view of the most wonder? ful waterfalls in the United States, the famous Chimney Rock towering hundreds of feet into space. Mrs. Horton is an estimable lady, making every one feel at home as soon as they arrive. She gives her personal attention to her house-work, and superintends the cooking department, which insures the most perfect cleanliness. The kitchen is kept as clean and neat as the parlor under her management. Mr. Horton is a hustler and believes in having everything fixed to please his guests. He has lawn tennis and croquet grounds, quoit pitching grounds, a marble yard, [that is, a yard nicely graded, where the boys, men and ladies can play the old, but ever new games of marble, "roll-hole, knuckle down, &cJ'] He has swings, joggling boards, turning boards, and many amuse? ments for the children. He has rustic seats over the beautiful grounds. Nowhere else can visitors find a place where they can get the comforts and pleasures that they do at Mr Horton's hotel, But Is Not The Price Too High ? No ! It is really a puzzle to the visitors how Mr. Horton fur? nishes the excellent fare and the amusements to visitors that he does for the small charges. Some of his visitors have insisted on paying him more, and this is the reverse of most cases, for it it usual to have visitors growl at high rates. He only charges seven dollars per week, or twenty-four dollars for a full calendar month. This is valuable information to me, and a number of my friends who are going to take a vacation this summer, and I am certainly under obligations to you, and will see you during July and August at Mr. Horton's. By the way. how far is it from Asheville ? Only twenty miles. A three hour's drive with a good spann of horses will take you to or from the beautiful mountain city, and to Vanderbilt's elegant summer home. In fact it is said that Vanderbilt is going to have a cottage built at a point near Chimney Rock. As to all these points you can write Mr. George P. Horton, Chimney Rock, N. C. By-the-way, a party of prominent editors visited the place and selected the location as the best place to build an Editorial Club House, and they wrote many words of praise concerning the place and section. I will quote from the following papers : RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. "Here with lofty mountains on each side the most picturesque scenery east i f * iie Rockies, we, a party of editors, have met to see for ourselves and t-i| tl.e world something of the real grandeur and sublimity. * * It ?sai' vi-lntion and yet how many are willing to live and die without putting forth i n- effort to view this wondrous scenery. * * The view from the dome of Chimney Rock is superb. It must be seen to be thorough? ly understood." CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. "The shades of night weie falling as we drew near our destination. The harvest moon hung in the sky as we rounded Chimney Rock. At our right was Old Baldy, under whose gigantic cliffs we insignificant mortals weie creeping along. The river sang a vesper hymn, and it seemed as if nature was offering her evening prayer to the Creator. The view from Chimney Rock is glorious. * * But it is useless to describe the beauties of this region. Go and see them for yourself." WILMINGTON REVIEW. "It was up hill and down dale ; now in the valley shut in by high hills, an anon skirting the brow of a precipice hundreds of feet above the plain beneath. The country between Rutheifordton and Asheville is beautiful, rich, prosperous and happy. * * We stood upon the summit of the rugged and picturesque Chimney and gazed abroad for sixty miles, the eye taking in almost at one glance the peaks of a hundred magnificent mountains. The view is simply sublime." RICHMOND DISPTCH. "There is not a missing element in this beautiful mountain scenery. There is a succession of grand views all the way for six miles. No language can depict the grandeur of the scenery all along the route. The Broad Rivet certainly is as picturesque ss the famed Swanoanoa : and larger and much moro turbulent " NORFOLK VIRGINIAN. "At every turn of the road as we approach, the mountains unfold, pan oram like displaying wild grandeur almost and yet fascinating in the ex? treme. Peak alter peak seemingly reaching skyward after supremacy as though spurning the placidity ol the valley, and defying the arts of the :ity builders of the plains It is only a few years since maf^ irst stood upon the summit of Chimney Rock. The outlook was superb be? fo nd description RICHMOND TIMES. '?.Hickory Nut (rap is the most picturesque section ol countrv U be bund throughout the Appalachian chain. The Broad Ki vcr, a restless rrystal stroan), divides thc great gorge, leaving a towering, rugged height m either side. Members ol our party were vicing with each other in the iso of adjectives ovei the glorious landscape. To attempt a description ci he great gray peaks, overlooking roaring cataracts and smiling vales below could bo but sacrilege when once a glimpse has been obtained." A stay at Chimney Rock will cure malarial diseases, Mood Poison, Indi estion and Dyspepsia. Without doubt Chimney Kook has the finest air nd sccnen to be found. Write to Gea. i:.
