They were consigned to a wellknown colored caterer of Columbia, who proposes to put them up, fatten them, and deal them out to his customers, where they would do the most good ' The shipper has 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 he as popular in the future as it used to was. Charleston Countv bids fair to cotno out all right ; the "Santce orator" ami his friends have be m retired to private life ; and the 'possum trade, as a natural consequence, will be dull in Columbia this fall, There was a "gnashing of teeth," even if thcro was an absence of j "weeping and wailing," when the 'possums arrived and were inspected, as though even they seemed to read the writing on the wall. ?

William I?inwood, aged sixty-one, whom Dr. Kennedy, head muster of Shrewsbury School, himself a famous scholar, dubbed the best scholar of his ago in Knglund, and probably one of ( the best in tjic world. When he graduated [ lirst class in classics at Oxford, on being I asked what books ho brought up for examination, ho replied, '*Tho whole range of Greek and Latin literature," aud his pro-cm iuencc was so conspicous that the exam iners were reported at the time to have considered whether, departing from tho rule, they ought not to place his name, conspicuous and alone, at the head of the first class.

One of Cook's complaints is that in 1871 his wife propelled him out of the marital couch with her little feet. Ou this particular occasion she had told him to "move along," which ho did until he hung on the ragged edge, as it were. Not satisfied, his spouse made a further demand for more room, and when he told her that he could not move without falliug out of bed, she braced herself up, plunged her feet into the small of his back, and lauded hiui in the middle of the room . not sleep with hi? face towards her for a whole year. She denied kicking him out of k bed in 1871, and said that she got up ono night and in gettiug back to bed accidentally fell upou his lcot. * Wherenrinii Rn clured that she did it though malice, and > .said she was the euibodiiueut of hell itself, ^ and that he would ueVer sleep wftb her again, and he kept his word.
