.For all this, I presume, the eoler w' t
" its abode in town wihinever it s't.'; :s coIve
nience. The best pysicia:ls cot x t te
appearance of the ease is only elayed by the
presment spell of cold weather. Within -zn d:,'
after steady heat begins, the c!o!ra w!
out in spots all over the c;tV, :1n, by ' t
of June, it will become epidemie. These n:
dictions are not in accordance, howcver, with ,he
opinions of the Herald, which did its best Erst to
create a panic, and now uz-gues that there iNiil hQe
no cholera here this yealr.
The lame and inpotent conclus:on arriverl at

even more vigorous in it- denunCitie: ' than tic

against Congress. When s- h extrem i

abandonment of the princ'"!e Ct rego uf 1rge

are also signs of late that both Smner:an1Thad.
Stevens are weak in the knees. If an e!ectlon
col be held throughout the North to-dav the
President's majority would be o-TerwhiNing.
As to the opinion of Northern jourinls upon the
ceport of the Reconstruction Commintce the fol
lowing from thl Brooklyn En!1 (jne of the
,ablestof the Democratic organis n-l1 serve as a
sample:
"This amendment excluas tenths of the
Southern people from tkirz any rr ii t:e

Mr. T';o:ss P. SIr>En, of Cha rleston, is the
u,horized agent of this paper, to procure ad.
vertisements and receipt for monies due.
it for All.
We take oceazion to reniind some of our read
ers that their ternis of su scription arc about ex
pilring; with some, already out; and that the uni
veral custom now amon.g newspaper-dom is to
cross mark such paper two or three issnes beforc
it is out, to give the subscriber warning and ena
Ale him if so di-posd to renew; if not renewed
then it is stopped. fhis is out plan, and we find
that it works pretty well on the whole. Sonic
few do not notice the mark, wonder why the
paper is stopped and grow indignant. To such
we say, send on a renewal, backed by the cash,
and the paper will come again. Many do so'
o:hurs, good men and true, beg ndulgence, mon
ey short, can't di without p-.per, pay up soon,
etc. Our hearts are soft, not adarnaimt, comply
with request ; wilt a week, month, two, three
monthis ; think good feilow has forgotten, touch
hIim up .with a small ;/ , r.o go, don't see it per
hapz, lit lhim again, but 'he is still indifferent
grow vexed then, have to pay cash for paper
ulsed in printing. Iere grows a dilemma, shall
we t;-ike off ti-s gd man's name and lose three
months alreadv gone, or continue sendig and
!ose three inore? What is to be done? we ap
peal to Mr. , and a score of others ; per
haps they can ttll. In the meantil:ne with iEde
fatigablezeal we continue to make the M mark.
Look for it, bef1rv, (tler or unar your name, oh
ye of short vision. Yea verily.
It is not amiss to throw a bal! at sonic of our
aUvortisers-perhaps we can make a ten strike
-some of whom send in little notices with re
quest to pr,bli,h, and promises to pay shortly
with all rig.h-t you Luow, perfectly good. We do
so, and Bud it all v rong. Bools soon ate filled
with horses and mules cstrayed, creditor' io
tiee, Lmd for sale, &c., kc. All the dunning
fr-om now to Christnis will not bring them up to
time. Blind they will not see, deaf and (10 not
hear, sinners every one of them, for whom we
pray, that very shortly ti.ey may be brought to
feel, that those little accounts so long standing
ought to be settlcd.

Our esteemed correspondent, S. II. B., whose
iteresting letters from the C.esorst City, hare
beeni gladly received lately, now that lie has re
turned once more to the she':ering of his own
vine anid fig tree, we fear- will shut down on us,
time and occasion for those letters having ceased;
but we believe that heo can give us still an occa
sienal epistle of a refreshing character, and will
therefore look for a short chapter on men and
things once in a while.
The Galaxy.
The second No. for Mity, of this excellent
Magazine is received. It is the first No., we ha:ve
seen, and now have time only for a curs&ry

high standarid among the iiterary Magazines of
the day. Its appearance is s'rikingly neat.

It is our painful duty to chronicle the death of
Dr. Geo. W. G;lei,n, which took place at his resi

This is the title of a sprightly bantum aspirant
for public patronarge, edited by Rlev. W. P. Ja
cobs, and pub lished ait Clinton, the first and see
oid numbe rs of n~ hiebi am-e received. The Wit
iess is small but bimful of condensed interest.
The editor has our best wiThes for its success,
and the public is told that aliber-al patro age will
soon1 expanid its size, and mak-e it a worthy repre
semtve of its birth place. "Smrall acorns to
great oaks do gr ow, slender streams at length to

Thme report,s from the North-west, of the grow
lg wheat crop tire not good. The rigors of a
long wTnter and !ate freezes, cold ramns, &c., have

unfavorable tidingrs are her-alded conerming cot

The grand reeling and pitching of the steamer
on the Gulf that night, served many purposes
not the least of which was, it o:casioied the

At Mobile I saw Miss Evans, the mit'horess of
some books:which I have not read. She appears
to be much of a lady' As she was going up

a careless Irishman T accidentally I would hope)

long enou:gh for the ox to get Ihis foot off, and
throwing. er uu:e over her .our so as to
cover the breach, vent on as t;ough nothing had
happened. I was tempted to th!nk that Patriek

into contact withi in, and that the authoress had
better shorten her skirt anvd advise all other Ia

A lady was poin1ted out to mie on the train as
having acted a Lieutena:mt inl the Confederate

Since the war ended she has married, but still
i ears the )uttons and eollar bars on her sack in
dicative of what she was if not of what she is.
S!e has a card in ore of t!!e papers branding

true to the Confedleracy, as somet/g,.I do not
know what, and that a repetition of the slander
will subject the offender to the necessity of per

How to Foretell the Weather.
Tn a omanua! of the 7mtromder, compiled by
admiral tizroy, and just pubh!ihed by the
board of trade, the following useful observa-2
tions occur :
Wheth.r clear or cloudy, a rosy sky at sun
set denotes fine weather--a red sky in the
miorning~ bad weather, or much wind, perhaps
rain-a high dawn,.wind; atml a low (dawn,
farir weather. Sorft looking delicate clouds
foeellne weather, with moderate or light
breezes-hard edged, oily looking clus
'ind. A dark, gloomy b!ne sky, windy, but
a brigvht blue sky, moderate tine weather.
Generally, the softer clouds look, the less
wind, but perhaps the more rain maty be ex
petcted; and the harder, more "greasy" rolled,
tufted, or ragged, the stronger the wind will
prove. Also, a bright yellow sky at sunset
presages wind ; a pale yellow, wet; and thus
by the. prevalence of red, yellow, or grey tints,
the conimig weather may be told very nearly
-itndeed, tf aided by instruments, almost ex
actly Sim-di intky loo'king clouds foretell rair;
lMght scud clouds driving across masses, show
rai and wind ; but if alone, may indicate
wind only.
High uppe clouds, crossing the sun, moon,
or stars, in a direction dlifierenrt from the low
er clouds, of the wind then felt below, foretell
a change of wind. When the sea birds fly
out early and far to seaward, moderate and
fair weather may be expected. When they
hang abuouit the 'land, or 'over it, somietimres
fly ing iland,expect a strong wind with stormy
w eather.
There are othcr signs of comin'g change in
th'e weather kn,own less generally than tmay'
be desirablhe, andi are, therefore, worthy of
notice-sneh as when birds of long flight
rooks, su allows, cramnes, and cothers, hang
about homie, ard fly up and down, or
low, rain and w' inud may be ex pected. Also,
when arnr:ials seek sheltered places, instead of
spreading over their usual ranuge; whzen smoke
from chimneys does not rc-und readily, or
start upwards dluring a calm, an unfavorable
charnge is probablIe.
Dew is an inrdication of fine weather, so is
fog. Neither '>f these f'ormations occur under
an overca.st sky, or when there is mumch wind.
'One sees ft o occsionally rolled away, as5 it
were by w md, but seldom or never forrmed
while i.t is blowing. AN EXTRACT.

RATIONs 7OR THE NEEy.-We commend the
liumanity which dictates the rendering of assist
ance to tie necessitous, the giving of rations to
the hungry poor. That there are many in abso
late need, there can be no question of doubt, and
to relieve their wants would be a charitable,
con.enlable, Christian duty. But there are
many idle, lazy, depraved characters, who might
work if disposed, but who will not whie there is
a chance to live ;otherwise ; many, too, wilA be
led by this offer to desert their employers, to
claim the rations and be relieved from work.
This must entail future evil on both employer
and eml0yed. The crop must suffer and a
scaicity of provisions be tbi consequence. We
allude to the announcement made from the pul
pit last Sunday, by authority of the Lieutenant
cornmanding, that the destitute of this commu
nitr, both white and black, may draw rations, on
makin- their condition knowf te him.Whopi
that he will be able to discriminate between the
really needy and the determinied idler, and deal
out tis charity only to the worthy but unfortu
nate, that no harm may work out of an intendea
good.
ODors.-There are sweet scented places as
well as sweet scented youths, a very common ex
pression .nd applicable in both to this locality.
With the latter, however, it is not our purpo
just now to waste Lime;,ufice it, that one might --
travel several long days journey ere running up
with a place con taining a greater variety ef,peci
mens who are allowed greater looseness, ani who
seem to be less controlled. - Some other time we
may recur to them. As to the former hoeirer
we would say "von feetle vord." The'p~r'tciar
phice referred to is and has beed, a nuisance for
lo this long time. Time and again has -attention
been directed to it, until the adage of "the more
it is stirred the imore will it stink" bas been more
than verified. It is now "a lecte too -ooch
Sti:.k, by gar." It is absolately intolerable; and
how such a pest, such a villainous accumulation
is.allowed to remain, to the annoyance-1d- dia.
gust of the particular neighborhood, ind citizens
generally who pass by, passeth comprehension.

REMARKABLY Sra.ANG-A "reliable geUtle

that a feimiale chijd was recently born in thseity,
whose head is eittirely devoid of hair, except as
that portion on the back of the head which, *ith
the ladies, is covered by a waterfall. This portion
is covered with a thick growth of jet black hair,
seven inches long and precisely in ~the shalie of

We havc every confidence in their, a'bility to

or two other little considerations needless to

so inspiring as a pretty song with guitar accom'

WEATHTER AND GRo?S-The mooft daving
changed brings us the hope of a better state' of
weather than we have lately had. Rain, nothing
hut r-ai, has been thre order of the day.and nighs
too, until the ground is literally soaked. After'
so much of cloud, haze and rain, it is pleasantte
