This is shows plainest at Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee aod St. Paul, where tbe order dem aod sod sales to buyers io person bave i creased to a striking extent.

Tbe Columbia Makes it Across the Atlantic. Quarantine, Stateo Island, August 2.?Tbe United States croiser Colom bia, arrived at quarantine this morning at 10:35 o'clock after the most memora ble run at sea ever made by a war ves sel. Tbe Columbia left Southampton July 26, passing tbe Needles, from which point ber deportare ie reckoned, j at 2 p. m., arriving at Sandy Hook Lightship at 8:59 this morning, mak ing the roo of 3,100 koots io six days, tweoty-three boors aod forty minutes. Tbe daily raes were 405. 460, 473, 458. 455 aod 405. Tbe hourly speed averaged daring the run was 18 41 koots under natural draught. Twenty six hours of fog was experienced, but chis occasioned no delay. The Coin m bia passed Sandy Hook at 10 a. m., speeding up the bay rapidly, making tbe run in thirty-five minutes. Pass iog steam vessels saluted the croiser as she passed op the hay Tbe Colum bia will aochor io the North river. While the price of the average horse has gooe down to ao almost ridiculous figure, yet tbe iotroductioo of electri city has bad oo effect oo the market value of a thoroughbred racer, lo New York oo Monday Mr. August Bel moot paid $37,000 for Hastiogs, ? two year-old. who has already proven his speed and value upon the turf. This is oo fancy price, but simply ao invest ment of mooey in horseflesh, the buyer being confident that the horse will pay tbe mooey ali back several times over by winning rich purses oo the track. Of course, the buyer of a two-year-old takes large chacees of possible acci dent and injery to the horse, and it fre quently happens that a racer which shows great speed as a two-year-old dees not keep up tbe pace at a later age. -?mmm>--++' tmm\ The first Orphan House in this country was founded by Rev.

Princeton, III , Aug 4 Tbe Italians for tuaoy months have wished to drive the negroes out of the coal tuioiog belt, and to-day a plau sible, excuse for so doing preseuted it self. At 1 o'clock this morning an Ital ian was attacked on the public high way by four negroes and robbed aod shot four times, from the effects of which his physician says he cannot live uotii morning. fc A mass meeting of tbe Italians was held at 10 o'clock'aod a mob of 100 gathered and started for tbe negro village, which is located two miles west nf Spring Valley. They were headed by.the Spring 'Valley Italian band aod to deceive the negroes ?oto thinkiag tbe assembly a peaceable one this band rendered several national an tbms. Tbe oegtoes, as a result,.re maioed io their homes. Tbe Italians tell upoo fhem like a lot of Apacho Indians. The men were dragged out, clobbed, trampled upoo aad made the targets for the shotguns, rifiVn and small arms the mob bad brought with them. Tbe women were insulted, slapped, aod two of them while begging for mercy, were ! shot down and fatally injured. Sheriff; Clark, of . Princeton, was telegraphed j for and arrived ou the ground with a posse, but came too late, as the work J bad loog been done before he arrived, j The negroes fled, terror-stricken, over tbe surrounding hills, and to-night are sleepi?t under trees and barns with the exception of a few whom the farm- j ers arc shelteriog. Many of the in jured are expected to die before morn ing. No arrests as yet have been at tempted. A Call for Gold. Washington, August 1.?Tbe Treas ury officials- were>surprised this after oooo wbeo informed that a demand had been oiade oo the sub-treasury at New York for a considerable sum of gold export. Tbe amount exceeds two mil liens aod opens up another gap whieh the M organ-Bel mont bood sy o die h te may feel called upon to fill. One mil ion was called for by the bank of Montreal and upwards of a million and j a quarter by tbe coffee importing bouse.*. This withdrawal does not ap pear io tbe statement to-day as the Treasury has not been officially advised of the transaction. According to the official figures issued at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the reserve stands at $107, 118,251. a lose sioce yesterday of $118.251. Acting Secretary Curtis says the withdrawal indicates nothing more than a desire on the part of the Ameri can importers to pay their debts as they fall due, the export of gold at this season being occasioned by tbe liqui dation of foreign accounts. Tbe ship ping of gold to the Montreal bank is not, the Secretary says, an unusal occurrence. That bank has a large credit in New York and this call for gold is, he thinks, on account of a de mand for settlement. Assistant Sec retary Curtis scouts at the idea of any attempted ran on the Treasury gold. The Watchman, of Boston, gives the following account of the pathetic origin of a well known hymn:?Dr. Fawcett, author of the hymn, "Bleet be the Tie that Binde," was the pastor of a email Baptist church in Yorkshire, from which he received only a meagre ealary. Being invited to London to succeed the distinguished Dr Gill, he-accepted, preached his farewell sermon, and began to load hie furniture wagons for transporta tion. When the time for departure arrived, hie Yorkshire parishioners and neighbors clung to him and hie family with an affection which was beyond expression. The agony of separation was almost heart-breaking. The pastor and his wife, completely overcome by the evidence of attach ment they witnessed, sat down to weep Looking into his face, while tears flowed like rain down the cheeks of both, Mrs. Fawcett exclaimed : "Oh John, John, I can't bear this, I know not how to go!" ''Nor I, either, said he; "nor will we go; unload the wagons, and put everything in the place where it was before V The people who had cried with grief now began to cry with joy. He wrote to j the London congregation that his coming was impoesible; aod he buckled on his armor for renewed toils in Yorkshire on a salary less . t forty pounds a year than that which he declined. To commemorate this incident in his history Dr Fawcett wrote that h run "I know nn old soldier who had chronic diarrhoea of long standing to have been per- | maneottj cured by taking Chamberlain's j Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says j Edward Shumptk, a prominent druggist of Minneapolis. Minn.

ONE POUND Fine Linen Paper 2? CEIVT S. ?. li. OSTEBN Where Are You Going This Summer? To The Most Beautiful Spot on Earth. CHIMNEY ROCK, If. C. 2 Because it is not only the most beautiful spot on earth with 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, Va., Wilmington, 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, &c.?/*] 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, h?w far is it from Asheville ? Only twenty miles. A three hours drive with a good spann of horses will take you to or from the beautiful mountain city, and to Yanderbilt's elegant summer home. In fact it is said that Yanderbilt 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-ihe-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 j from the following papers : RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. "H"if with lofty mountains on each side the most picturesque scenery eaet ? f rh?? Rockies, we, a party of editors, have met to see for ourselves and U ihn world something of the real grandeur and sublimity. * * It is a * hu ion and yet bow many are willing to live and die without putting forth une 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. j "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 Rutherfordton 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 DISPATCH. ' There is not a missing element in this beautiful mountain scenery. There is a succession of grand views all the way for six mi?es. No language can depict the grandeur of the scenery all along the route. The Broad River certainly is as picturesque as the tamed Swanoanoa ; and larger and much more turbulent ': NORFOLK VIRGINIAN. "At every turn of the road as we approach, the mountains unfold, pan orarn like displaying wild grandeur almost and yet fascinating in the ex treme. Peak after peak seemingly reaching skyward after supremacy as though spurning the placidity o? the valley, and defying the arts of the city builders of the plains. * It is only a few years since man firs't stood upon the summit of Chimney Rock. The outlook was superb be yond description " RICHMOND TIMES. "Hickory Nut Gap is the most picturesque section of country to be found throughout the Appalachian chain. The Broad River, a restless crystal stream, divides the great gorge, leaving a towering, rugged height ou either side. Members of our party were vieing with each other in the use of adjectives over the glorious landscape To attempt a description o? the great gray peaks, overlooking roaring cataracts and smiling vales below would be but sacrilege when once a glimpse has been obtained." A stay at Chimney Koek will cure malarial diseases, Bio ?d Poison, Indi? gestion and Dyspepeia. Without doubt Chimney Rock has the linest air and scenery to be found. Write to Geo. P. Horton, Chimney Kock, N. C# and <xet any further information desired.
