('nr. | tigT tVifMii "" m i 'Possum Shipment.?One hundred and ( fifty 'possums, confined in a box car, were received at the Greenville and Columbia ' Railroad depot from Walhallayesterday afternoon. They were consigned to a wellknown colored caterer of Columbia, who ( proposes to put them up, fatten them, and deal theui out to his cu> turners, where they would do the most good' The shipper hits evidently made a mistake in this business venture; he surely forgets the fact that Mr, Chamberlain and his followers arc institutions of the past, and that- ' 'possum meat" will not ho as popular in the future as it used to was. Charleston County bids fair to como out all right; the "Sautcc orator" and his friends have bem retired to private life ; and the 'possum trade, as a natural conscijuence, will be dull in Columbia this fall, There was a "gnashing of teeth," even if there was an absence of "weeping ana wailing," when the, 'possums arrived and were inspected, as though even they seemed to read the writing on the wall. ? Columbia Jirtjisfer.. England has lately lost a prodigy of learning in the person of the Itev. William T.inwood, aged sixty one, whom Or. Kennedy, head master of Shrewsbury School, himself a famous scholar, dubbed the best scholar of his ago in England, and probably one of the best in tjie world. When ho graduated lirst class in classics at Oxford, on being asked what books he brought up for examination, ho replied, ,,Tho whole range of (1 reek and Latin literature," and his prc-cm inencc was so conspieous that the exam iners were reported at the time to have considered whether, departing from tho rule, they ought not to place his name, couspicu i on* anu aione, ai mo neau 01 mc nisi class.

Ono of Cook's complaints is that iu 1871 his wife pro{jelled him out of the piarital coueli with icr littlu feet. On this particular occasion she had told him to "move along," which ho did until he hung on the ragged edge, as it wero. Not satisfied, his spouse mado a further demand for more room, and when he told her that lie could not move without falling out of bed, she bruocd herself up, plunged hor feet into tho small of his back, whole year. She denied kickingItfm out of *, * bed in 1871, and said that she got up ono night and in getting; back to bed oeoiden? tally fell upon his feet, whereupon bo Jfclurcd that abe did it though nuOice, and * .said the woo the embodiment of libit itself, ^ a * .
