A SERIAL STORY!
"J.
In the Saturday Evening Mali of next week will be commenced another Serial Story, and we promise oar readers that it is one of the best of the many excel lent stories tbat have appeared in tbeee columns. Like otbera tbat have preceded it, while intensely interesting, there is a good moral lesson running tbroagb it, and that lns»o°i is now one of the opperooost topics in this country. is entitled
I I THE FAMILY CURSE.
REBECCA HARDING DAVIS, Author of "Life In the Iron Mills," "Dallas Ualbralth," "John Andros," etc.
The genius of George Eliot Hods not only a peer, but in many points a coun terpart, in tbat of Rebecca Harding Davis. Tbe similarity is not sameness tbe resemblance is by no means alike ness. Tbe two authors are alike in tbe confidence with which they discard all models and become a law unto them selves. There is no resemblance whatever between tbe people created by tbe one and those who serve the purposes of the otber, except tbat the personages of each are undoubted originals always. The machinery by which Mrs. Davis brings her people before us and shows us what manner of men they are is totally unlike that which George Elliot uses, and their plots resemble each otber in nothing except in their utter unlikenees to any others in the world, their entire originality, and their unusual fitness to serve the ends for which they are created.
Another point of resemblance between tbe two writers is the masterly knowl edge each seems to have, from first to last, of the peculiarities of charaoter wbioh underlie the actions of her peo pie. She makes no analysis of charaoter, and tells us nothing about tbe mental and moral muscles which her personages bring into play. She simply holds her lens before our eyes, and her people become transparent. We see for ourselves bow they are made up, and see tbe several parts In aetaal play before us.
See the opening chapters of "The Family Curse," in next week's Mail.
CREMATION.
The cremation ists seem to be making some real headway. Tbe Herald, of In dianapolis, announces tbat a cremation society bas been formed in tbat oity with already nearly a hundred members. Tbe members are mostly, though not all, Germans. The Herald says that afc soon as arrangements can be made a furnace will be built and tbe new method of disposing of tbe dead will be put into practical operation/
However much our national sentiments may rebel at tbe thought of oon turning the bodies of oub dead in the cremator's farnase (and that these sentiments are at this time all but nnlrersal cannot be doubted,) yet there oer talnly are some cogent arguments in favor of cremation. First and greatest of all Is tbat of health. When we oonaider what is going on in every graveyard and cemetery, the decomposition of thousands of human bodies a few feet below tbe surface of the ground, and the continual rising therefron of foul and pestilential vapors, that poison tbe at mosphere and carry tbe seeds of disease and death over all tbe land, we are more disposed to listen to the claims of the cremationlat. Another argument of no small force is that tbe new system would be far leas expensive than the old. Much bas been talked and written against tbe expensivenem of modern fbneralt, but little seems to be accomplished towards reducing this expense. There must be coffin and hearse and carriages and with it all an undertakers bill of terrible proportions. At such a time everyone feels that tbe burial must be deoent and becoming, cost what it may, and tbe poor man is not seldom weighted down by funeral costs which be can ill afford to pay. Cremation furnishes a simple and comparatively inexpensive method of disposing of tbe dead, without offense or detriment to tbe living. Tbe* points at least are in favor of tbe new system.
TUB outlook for tbe new State House seems rather squally. Tbe disappointed architects (or at least some of then) bare instituted suits to eqjota the Oom mlssiooers from letting tbe contract to Mr. May, whose plan was adopted. The question promises just now to figvi* largely in the next election. There to a very general and wide spread feeling, or fear, tbat the building is tn the bands ef a "ring." The Republican papers are /^barging tfcja, snd tbe Democratic prase
is backward in loading the party with tbe responsibility. At Indisnspolis tbe Journal and News are spatting over tbe business ss if tbey were determined to kill the whole project in the very egg. Tbe Journal express ss tbe opinion that it would be better that "tbe State Home square lie an open field of unfinished stone" for tbe next dozen decades, Ann have a job run upon tbe people in the construction of a botched building to which the News retorts tbat the purpose of tbe Journal's insinuations of dishonesty on the part of tbe Commissioners is to make capital against tbe Democrats for the October elections. As it bss been determined to build anew State Home, and as tbe old one is already torn down, it would seem to be the part of wisdom and for the intereet of all concerned, not to delay the enterprise by captious criticism and ungrounded accusations, but if there is tbe slightest odor of "catskinning" let it be thoroughly ventilated and fumigated.
INDIANAPOLIS has another startling sensation in tbe person of Joseph W. Bugbee, a well known citizen and poll tician of tbat place and for some time an active and influential member of tbe city council. He bas been found guilty of carrying on a systematic series of forgeries for several years past, and tbe total amount of tbe notes forged reaches tbe large sum of 9150,900. Boston firm of which his brother is a member are the sufferers by his fraudulent con duct. The criminal bas confessed his guilt snd fled or made way with himself, for his whereabouts is not known and it is feared be has added suicide to his otber crimes. Mr. Bugbee stood high in social and business circles and was regarded as a young man of fine character and promise. He has a young wile and one child, having married a daughter of tbe Rev. L. G. Hay about three years ago.
IT isn't si ways true that-tbe fellow who succeeds first succeeds best, or that he who fails in his first undertakings is destined to failure throughout life. Tbe case of tbe venerable Peter Cooper, of New York, is an illustrious refutation of tbe latter doctrine. A correspondent says of bim tbat bis father, having been a batter and having failed at that buslss, thought to do better by his son and bound him to a coach maker. Peter, having served his apprenticeship, started a shop of his own, but failed, and then tried cabinet making and a retail grocery succdssively, but with no better results. At length, when about forty years old, he began tbe manufacture of glue on a small scale, which proved a permanent suocess and was the starting point of. his fortune which is now estimated at ten millions.
Two brothers, Joseph snd George Brassell, were bung at Cookvllle, Tennessee, on Thursdsy of last week. They confessed their crimes. One was twenty-three years old and the murderof nine persons. Tbe other was twenty years of sge and had killed three persons. The one that had killed nine persons advised young men not to follow bis example. Then he called for whiskey, saying tbat as he hadn't long to live he was determined to get all tbe good possible out of tbat beverage. This was in the presence of clergymen who were trying to prepare bim for death. The young men had been literally the terror of the neighborhood, and ten thousand persons surrounded the gibbet to soe them die.
THK crisis in European affairs still Impends, snd tbe tide of sentiment appears to have set towards England. Austria and Greece now support her position, while Germany, though less outspoken, is evidently in sympathy with her too. At St. Petersburg the circular of Lord Salisbury is regarded as nsw proof that England hss decided upon war, but it is argued that if she really desires to avoid war, some pacific solution of the difficulty may yet be found. Unless Russia yields it is bard to see bow a war between the two powers can be averted.
A BOY in Virginia who bad been addicted to reading sensational storiee became imbued with the deal re to kill some one and secretly bury blip. So be dug a grave, entioed an old negro near it, attacked and killed him with a hatchet, threw him into tbe hole and covered him with the earth. Of course bis deed did not remain aa secret as he thought it would be and he now repents in prison.
THK management of tbe Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Road have issued an order discontinuing all Sunday freight trains, except such as have live stock and perishable matter. This is a move in the right direction. Railway men, and railways too, in this country, would be profited by a general reform In respect to Sunday work.

A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION"OF THE CAROLINA MOUNTAIN REGION.
LETTER FROM A TERRE HAUTEAN
Corrrespondence of the Sat Evening Mai]
A8HV1T-LE—BUNBOMBE—CAROLINA. That is the A. B. C. of it, but it takes many combinations of the alphabet to desoribe this mountain region.
In coming here from tbe North we paw through Washington snd Richmond, snd thence via the Peidmont Air Line to Salisbury, North Carolina, where many war marks are still visible, and wbere acres of tbe soil cover the nation's unknown dead, who were tbe produ3t of tbe prison pens,
The country around Salisbury has a dreary, worn out look—the red ground in many places refusing to yield anything worth harvesting, though it is annually scratched over with a little pointed plow, followed by a dilapidated darkey, and drawn by a mule or "an oxen," as one ox is called.
Negro cabins are numerous and in all stsges of decay. Comfortable, tidy farm houses are very rare, indeed, and some dwellings tbat have been mansions now look mawkish.
At Salisbury a change is made to tbe Western North Carolina Railroad, and it is not aobange for tbe better in accommodations. There is but one train each dav, and that is made up of freight cars, with a nondescript conveyance for passengers in tbe rear, whioh is more than a caboose, sn4 less than a coach, and bas two apartments, the one in front for the use of plebians and smokers, and the otber more aristocratic.
The train starts, and "Uncle," in the first apartment, atarts his tuueful banjo, patting the floor with his foot ss sn additional accompaniment to his plantation melodies.
A few hours' ride brings the Blue Ridge in view the outlines faint at first, and obscured by smoky air, but growing more diatinct on near approach, and towering grandly when their base is reaobed. Tbe train rises rapidly ss it passes through deep outs, the jagged side* of whioh extend far above it, then it emerges, and tbe valley below seems at an appalling distance.
Tbe mountains stand out boldly, and apparently preclude farther progress but the rails have found a way, and tbe train passes over them, creeping higher and affording an ever-changing view
It atopa at Henry—a little station in the mountains—tbe present terminus of tbe road, and passengers are entertained for tbe night at the "St. Bernard Hotel," a rustic and unpretending hostlerv, wbere tbe guests are made tolerably oomfortable.
In the morning, after a substantial breakfast, our host announced, "Tbe stage is ready." and we prepared to enter it. We founa it a plain country hack, for whiob Dow (tbe driver) apologised. "We bas reg'lar bang up coaches on this line, but tbar's bean heavy rains all along, and the roada is so bad, we dursn't reek anything with a heavy top." There were seven passengers in
MR. LARKJN J. MKADB'S design fcr a memorial monument to Senator Morton preeenta a shaft rising from abase and sub-base, and supporting at the height of one hundred and fifteen feet h*t .W- a #«.K a seat inside, and one with the driver.
figure of the dead Senator in heroic alse. He ia represented in the attitude of speaking. The cost of a monument exeouted after thia plan ia estimated at 1100,000. At the rate eubeeriptiens are now being raised that monument will never be built.
Dow cracked his whip, said 'Git up tbere, Sally Johnaon!" and tbe four mulee started.
We came at once to a beaatiful little stream, which nature never intended te be eaaily forded, and therefore gave it a bed of rough atone, which triee tbe strength of the vehicles and ths sensibilities of the travelers tbat cress it.
We got safely over and began to olimb tbe mountain. Up went tbewbeelaon one side upon a foundation of rock. Dwn went tbe wheels on the other side into a alough of despond. "Ob 1" screamed tbe ladies. "Git a onto'this! Hatty! Luoe! Lite! Sally Jokn$omt up tbar! ouse! oo-oose!" said Dow, and we were right again.
Similar experiences were frequent, but we made progress, following the road upward along the bank of tbe stream. Many little branches crossed the way on pebbly beds, daahing on to swell the volume of transparent water which oame leaping down its winding course to meet us, flsshlngand laughing in the sunlight, then biding beneath tbe overhanging bows of evergreen, and nppling on among tbe mosses more merrily than before.
Trees and ahruba are in tbeir element here. Thev seem not to know when to stop growing, and sometimes the way is darkened by the dense foliage of hem lock, spruce pine, laurel, holly and rhododendron.
We kepi on climbing, still higher and higher. The mules wiggled and the stage creaked.
I asked Dow whether they ever got discouraged. «No6tar/**aal4 be. "They'll pull thru anythin' that's luce at both ends."
We tolled on till we reached tbe top of the Blue Ridge, where the view in all diieetione to enchanting. Tbe grand
army of mountains seems to b^at shoulder arms. The air is meet exbilersting:
One whistles involuntarily and feels constrained to aak with the Psalmist
41
Why hop yeso, ye bigb bills?" Then looking down the gorges, "Deep answering unto deep," ne sees ovsr broken cliffs tbe fertile valleys lying far below acd hears tbe melody of water flowing-' down to charm them. It trickles st his feet in tiny threads, and wanders about in an uncertain way slow to decide whether it will join the current that flows down the eastern slope, snd awsy to the Atlantic Ocean, or take a western course and ramble to tbe Gulf of Mexico.
Not far from this point, work is progressing on the unfinished portion of tbe railroad. Six hundred convicts are employed, and Dow told us tbat five hundred and ninety-eigbt of tbem were colored. Hesaid, "a white man won't work up beah a great while for 'em. He'll stay a few days maybe, and then be has biznus in tbe woods, and tbey cawn't find him. The niggers is satisfied. Don* hev to work ver'nawd and git plenty to eat. What mo' do they want
We began to descend and Dow applied tbe brake. It was like coming down a monument bumping along tbe stairs. "Keep your seats," said Dow, and we made every effort to comply with hia request. Presently the mules stopped, and Dow said, "I reckon I'll bev to let you all out heah. Mud's pretty deep ahead and its a lee tie rough." We got down and took a bypath, walking on till Dow thought it safe again for ns to ride. Shortly after we stopped at a stable, wbere Dow unhitched bis mules and a new driver with four beautiful black horses, took us in charge.
As we progressed toward Asheville, tbe Swsnnanoa was our constant companion. The name is Cherokee, and signifies "Beautiful." Crystal is not clearer, sad champagne does not sparkle more than this lovely stream as it trips and tumbles down tbe mountain side. We crossed it many times and it seemed as clean and cheerful while splashing about our horses' hools, as when it played bide and seek among tbe rocks.
Looking to tbe right we saw tbe Black mountain range, and then the Black itself, towering more than seventy six hundred feet above tbe sea, a higher point than is reached by any other peak east of the Rocky mountains. Then same the great Craggy, nearly as high and more picturesque, because of Its sharply defined projections, and angular outlines. We stopped at a little P.O. and thought ourselves over the worst of the road, but while the driver was band ing out the mail, the leaders took fright and turned about, the wheel horses following and getting out of control before tbe driver noticed it. Tbe passengers became nervous and -tiled to interpose objections, but there was only time for tbe shortest exclamations before the nsture of things was reversed, and we found ourselves not only dusty dust, but in a manner prematurely turned today. In tbe administration of affairs which followed, a partition was cpeedily effected. We retained the top of the convey ance, while tbe horses took the wheels and apart of tbe body, but soon stopped proceedings in recognition of our claim on baggage.
We crawled out of the debris one by one, each asking "Who's burtfaque^ tion which no one answered.
Tbe wreck wis so perfect tbat it seemed a pity to disturb it, but each man picked out his satohel and we escorted the ladies into tbe house to take an inventory which proved tbat no damage bad been sustained beyond slight bruises and torn clothing. A farm wsgon without springs was procured, and we arranged ourselves on chairs and improvised seats. When within three miles of our destination we meta coach wbioh bad been summoned by a courier to take us in. We were transferred to it and traveled tbe remainder ef tbe iourney swimmingly, rescbing Asheville ana tbe sheltering wings of the Eagle Hotel just eleven hours after tbe time of starting from Henry. The distance is twen-ty-one miles.
Asheville is the principal town tn western North Carolina, and is located twenty-two hundred and fifty feet above tide water, on an irregular plateau extending from tbe spurs of tbe Black mountain and Blue Kidge. It has many handsome residences snd neat cottages, occupying tbe most desirable sites, and so scattered tbat each appears to stand upon a distinct miniature mountain,snd afford i'a occupants an almost unobstructed view of tbe grand obain of prinoely peaks which encircles all.
Not far from tbe oenter of the town, to the west, ia Battery Porter—all that is left of it. A strong point in wsr times, but commanding now no more than a propitious prospect.
Going to the east, we begin to climb Mount Beaucatcber before we lesve tbe oorporate limits. A good road leada to tbe summit, by which many go up in carriage*, but tbe ascent is made with greater eaae and safety on horseback.
The highest point reveals another war relic—a fortification—smooth and carpeted with verdure. Here a scene of
Jifflcult
iagnlfioence is revealed which it is to portray without seeming exaggeration.
Tue eye wanders to tbe north snd sees mighty mountaioa and vaulted valleys to tbe eakt down a declivity to a fruitful cove, so deep snd narrow as to liter ally aborten the days for its dwellerstwo or three houra each.
Beyond it, mountainarise again, crest beyond crest till lost in the bszy distance. To tbe esst, southward, is Swannsuos Onp. hemmed in by dizzy heights, and fsrtber down are otber gaps and gorges, with equally imposing walla. But the outlook west is still more extensive, and itsvsriety trsnscends all talk. One inadvertently strains the vision to distinguish wbere the monntains end and the aky begins. Tbe pinnacle of Piagab over twenty milee away, ia tbe moat prominent aa it rises through the eoft purple and pierces the brighter tints of the evening aky. To tbe left of it tbe courses of tbeSwannanoa and Frenoh Broad through deep gorgee can be deeftried. To tbe right peak after peak iaaeen, and counting around tbe horizon it is found tbat one hundred and eighty of these lofty sentinels can be numbered, enoompssalng tbe leseer hills which rise in graaay curves traversed by rinsing rills ornamented with trees, and crowned with tbe quiet homes of Asheville.
Tbe transparent air teala? a perfect medium or sound giving one tbe impression of being surrounded by telephones, which bring up in quick succession the reverberations of some wood man'a ax tbe merry laughter of children tbe crowing of oocka, and tbe barking of dogs intermingled with an nsfaslnasi squeaky groan from a pump a "be-AM*" from a darkey and a **hawfrom a mule.

two beauties follow winding but converging waya, meet buoyantly, and pass on among the mountains with united grace and force, the Swannanoa losing its identity in that of ite greater sister. All tbe highest peaks areln full view, including Cold Mountain, Piagab, Craggy, and thoaeof tbe famoua Blackwhile to the north we get a delightful glirapee of Aabeville.
Tbe proprietor of tbia lovely spot la an entbuaiast. He has built a cottage there and ornamented the grounda with many abrubs and plants. He asserts with all appearance of truth that he would not exobange bis home for the Stewart palace.
Nature bas prepared for Asheville msny other immediate attractions, and lest its inhabitants should still lack diversity it has wautonly thrown up in fantastic fashion around the town a scope of country larger in area than tbe State of Massachusetts scattered with minerals and profitable deposits of tbe precious and baser metals shaded with great forests of valuable trees adornsd with beautiful shrubs, and clothed with rich grasses snd rare medicinal herbs.
Cereals and fruits are abundant and cheap. The Catawba grape ia a native of Buncombe county. Peaches grow well. Apples often weigh from eighteen to twenty-four ounces and are new retailed at from forty to fifty cents per bushel. Eggs eight cents per dozen. Beef eight 'cents perpound, snd flour six dollars sn a half per barrel.
Everything is abundant but money, which is scarce, indeed. Apples, bsoon, chestnuts, dairy products, cordwood and such like are considered legal tender.
Private families furnish nice board with rooms at twenty dollars per month but tbe best hotel is more exhorbitant, and requires ita guests who occupy front rooms to psy seven dollars per week.
The place is a favorite summer resort and when tbe railroads wbich are now approaching are completed, muob of its rural simplicity must give way to fashionable practices and prices. At present there are but few visitors otber than those in search of health, but as the season opens more will come, snd when it reacbea its height they will be num bered by hundreds.
Tbe salubrity of tbe climate is fast bringing tbe region into favor as a retreat for invalid*, particularly those suffering from throat and lung maladies. "The only mountain sanitarium in America" is located in Asheville. The climate ia not tbat of Eden to be sure, but it is more uniform thsn in slmost sny part of tbe country. Tbe thermom eter seldom rises above 85° and has reached 90° only once in years, while during tbe same period it has recorded but three times temperature of less than S°. This is shown by reports of tbe U. S. signal service.
Tbe people are the most cordial I have ever met, in tbeir kindly attention to strangers, and I am sure that all who come will want to tarry long here, and after they go away will want to tarry here again. B.
