The Festive Fly and its Enemy.

Fly paper is a mean invention which does grievous injury to the tender and confiding nature of a fly. Being moist and soft and sticky, it appeals to him as being something good to eat. Alighting he gets one foot mired and doesn't like it. Nothing but coniflete freedom of movement satisfies an American fly. He beats the air with his wi gs and fails to get loose.

A hap- py thought strikes him, He uses the other hind les: to iry out the first, and gets that lej into trouble Then he thinks if lie puts down his two middle legs and pushes real hard, something will break loose. The experiment is a failure. He then yells for help, and other flies come to his rescue. They interlace legs and pull, but find the fly etill fast. Then they roll him on his back, thinking he may be easier in that position, but he is anchored firmer than ever.

Then they ask him to remain just where he is uii' til after luncheon, and not get stuck up any more, and then they go off and forgot all about him. He re mains feebly gesticulating with his two remaining legs, and finally gets tired and abandonp himself to death. Subsequently the paptr is thrown into the back yard, where a tomcat steps on it, and it takes him a week to comb the flies and pith out of his fur.

Inmau Buys Georgia Central. By telegraph to the Asheville Citizen. 1 New York. Aug. 3.

Reports of the sale to John H. Inman of about 10,000 shares Georgia Central stock are confirmed by the head of the syndicate which bought Central of the property at the last election. It was stated on the street that the sale was the result of trouble in the syndicate and that the stock was sold at very low figures. At the office of Inman it was stated he left the city Friday last, and would be gone about one week; but his bioth-er confirmed the report of ths sale. He said "Mr.

inman has bought a arge block of the stock but what price was paid and who tne seller is I do not feel at liberty to say." Only members of the syndicate in thiacity- to-day denv thai the syndicate has gone to but state instead that Inman has simply bought an interest in it. The de parture of the vice-President H. B. H-ollins for Europe last week is as serted to have been cau-ed simuly by a desire to avoid the worrv con sequent upon the complications in the syndic.ae. it is said the main cause of uneasiness is the proposed action of the Savannah, Dublin Western Railroad which has decid ed on paralleling the Georgia Cen tral from end to end.

What Buncombe Soil Will do FOR CoLLARDS. Last winter our progressive towns man Col Joe Branner, proprietor of the Ashevill i Greennouses, snt to eastern Carolina and procured some regular full-blooded collard seed. Collardsdown in thtt couni try grow anywhere from five lo seven teet tall, ana whole families can subsist not only under but on the branches thereof. Mr. Branner's anxiety to secure Ihose things which stand highest as vegetable lood plants, prompted him to get these collard seeds.

He sowed them in his green house; when they were about three inches high he transplanted some to two-inch flower crocks, with just about two square inches of Buncombe soil as nour ishment. They were placed out in the garden where thev could tret the earlier and latter rains, tiie dews of Heaven and the sympathetic rains of a Julv sun. Th plants flourished and fattened upon that Buncombe soil, hut when they had reached the modest height of about ivEmjirad-one-hhlf oats." SO to sneak. round out, and turned out to be as pretty white, hard, round cabhac-fi heads as one could want, weighing at this time about four or five Ihs Mr. E.

L. Brown, at Sawyer's, (who came from the east himself,) is exhibiting one of these collard-cabbages with greatdelight. as showing what Buncombe soil will do if given a fair chance. When it comes to turning an eastern collard to a mountain cabbage he thinks the principle of evolution is getting in its best licks. Mr.

Branner, while disappointed in Lis collard experiment, is rather fascinated with his cabbage luck, and visions of a mew and, possibly, unod ji ous grade of kraut please him in his dr.ams. He has always thought there was a missing link somewhere in the kraut business, and he thinks the cross between an eastern collard and a mountain cabbage will supply the link. Col. Williamson submits this if two square inches of Buncombe soil will make a five- pound cabbage out of a collard. what would a whole acre of our soil pro duce? We shudder to think of it.
