McKissick, manager of tbe Battery Park Hotel at Ashevillo, end Messrs Garlingtoo, of the Spartanburg Ilenld, and Gonzales, of Tbe Colombia 8tt!e. It appear j that wheo a forestry aod pork convention was arranged for by the Asbeville board of trade Mr McKissick sent out about forty in vitatiooa to prominent persons, ask? ing them to attend and be his guests ot the hotel. One of these went to Senator Tillmao, who appears to have understood it to be o general in vita tion to vie.t hotel He replied say? ing he could not otteod the conven? tion but would probably visit Mr McKissick sad accept hia hospitality ot some later time Mr Gonzales presi* ded 01 the co ivention and read to that body the Senator's letter along with others. There was much laughter at the sen ator e expense and Mr Oarlington made humetous comment on the incident in the Spsrtsnburg Herald. Senator Tillmao saw this and wrote Mr McKiaaick a letter which is ssid to be furiously abusive. Those who hive seen it ssy there is a pleaaant allooion to* Messis Gerling too aod Gc.u7.sle8 as "low down whelps'' and that Mr McKissick is sooosed of foroishiog a private letter to the publio. Mr. McKissick prints s csrd in whiob be explsins the circumstances find aays tbe senator's Istter was haoded over t o the convention to be read sloog with the other declioationa of public men without any purpose to annoy him k men who csme here from Spar tsoburg yesterday ssid Editor Gar liogtoo was engaged io the conatruc lioo of a personal letter to the senator likely to lift htm out of bis boots, being thoroughly exasperated by the allusions to Mr. Gonzales sod himself couta oed io tbe senator's letter to Mr McKissick. Mr Gar liogtoo, ovei* tbe telephone last night, ssid he would not give the public tbe letter he had written Senator Tillmnn or Senator Tillman's letter to Mr McKissick unless circum stances should cause a demand for publication of "all the papers in the csss."?Greeavii'e News. ?MBS?WWi ??*?? ?

"Why Bleaa Her, Let Her Go." Sometime ago I fell in love, Wiib pretty Mary Jane, Aod I did hope tbat by and by She' j love me back again. Alas t my boies a dawning light, Were ail at ooce made dim ; Sbs saw a chap, I don't know where And fell in love with bim.

Before, I always got a kiss, (I own with oome small fuss) But now forsooth, for love oor fun, Tis noo-come-at-a-bUBS i Well, there we sat, and when we spoke Our conversation dwelt Oa everything beneath the bud, Except what most we felt.

And sbe could freely, gladly sing, Tbe bo- g be did nquect ; Tbe ones I asked, were just tbe ones Sbe always did deles.. I rose to leave. She'd be glad.
