Like the rest of the State, we, down here, are deci edly provoked at the recent style of doing things m Columbia on this tax busi? ness. ' It ls very generally believed, conceded and understood that Governor Scott and his clique have an interest in a large amount of State bonds. The question then is this : Is not a State's bouda worth more when that State has a large amount of property with a email rate of taxation and a limited quantity of bonds out than ono just the opposite? Is not the fifty per cent, added^o county valuations at Columbia done to increase the pri?e of Scott & Co.'a bonde m New Tork?

Perspiration and Bong, I should iay. for they are irrepressibly vocal. They gather in little squads in the public parlors ind in private parlors, and m their several rooms, where, by reason of tb heat, they re luce themselves to about the dreas of the En rlish blondes and fan themselves and Bing solos, duets, trios, quartets, and choruses are extemporized at the shortest notice, and from .arly morning till long past midnight the itraics of Fatherland are heard floating .brough all the corridors of the great hotels.

[Tram the Saturday Be view.) ,/': 1 There are certain things whicn eau nevei accurately described-things so shadowy, fitful so dependent on the mood of the mom! bothm the audience and the actor,- that am sis and representation are equally at fault. I flirting ia one of them. What is Hirtin Who can define or determine ? It is more rio aa than talking nonsense, and not so aern aa ff sling love; it ia not chaff, and it ia j feeling; it means something more than in? terence, and yet something lesa than affect ii it binds no one, it ?ommita no one, it o raises expectations m tbe individual, and s society on the look ont for results; it is a pli thing in the banda ot the experienced, fra deadly weapon against the breast of the i wary; and it is ? thing so ragne, so protei that the most accurate measuter or mo raines would be puzz.ed to B?y where it era ends and where serious intentions begin. I again we ask, what is flirting? what cont tutea ita essence ? what makes the differer between it and eba ff on the one hand, and and love-making on the other? Has it a < mutative power, and, according to the old ss mg of rnany a little making a mickle, dosi long series of small flirtings malo op a ci crete whola ot lore? orin, lt tilca aa anon tared neap of bncK?, possibilities of otilitj i conditions were cbahged. bnt valueless thin gs are ? The man who would be abb? reduce flirting to a definite science, who con analvzo its elements and codify its laws, won be doing infinite service to bis generation; b we fear that this would be as difficult as fin ing the pot of gold under the end of a rai bow, or catching small birds with a pinch salt. Every one has his or ber own ideas wbat constitutes flirting; consequently evei one judges of that pleasant exercise accordii to individual temperament and experienc Faded flowers, who see impropriety in ever thing they are no longer able to enjoy, say, wi more or less severity, that Henry ind Angeln are flirting if they are laughing and whispe lng in an alcove together, probably at the mo innocent nonsense in the world; ont the fa? that they aie enjoying themselves in their on nay, albeit a silly one, ie enough for the fade flower to think they are after mischief, fl ir tin being to her mind about the worst bit of mil chief that fallen humanity can perp?trait The watchful mother, intent on chances, say that dancing together ofteaer than is necee Bary tor good breeding and just the amount o attention demanded by circumstances, is fl in ing; timid girls newly ont, and not yet need t the odd ways of men, think they are bein flirted with outrageously if ttaeir partner Ore off the meekest tittle compliment at them, o looks at them more tenderly than he wooli look at a cabbaee; but bolder spirits of boil sexes think nothing worthy of the name wbicl does not include a tow questionable fun il ian tit s, and an equivooue or two, more or le? "risky." With some, flirting is no hing but thi nassmg fun of the m omen ; with others, it is thi first lesson in the great unopened book, ant means tbe beginning of the end; with some, I is not even angling with intent; with others, ii is deep sea fisbine with a broad, boldly mad? net, and taking ail fish that come in as gooc foi sport if not for food. Fliris are of many ki,ids, as well as of all degrees. There are qmet flirts and demon? strative flirts; Arts ot the subte sort whose practice is made by the eyes alone, by the manner, by the tender little sigh, by the bend of the head and the ware ot the hand, to gire pathos and point lo the otherwise harmlos ? word; and flirts of the open and rampant kind, who go up quite boldly towards the point, bat who nerer reach it, takit'g care to draw back in time before they really cross the border. This is the kind which, as the flirt male, does incalculable damage to the poor little flutter? ing dovcB to whom it is a bird of prey, hand sjme, bold and cruel; but this is the kiud which hap unlimited success, using as it does that immense moral leverage we call "tantal? izing;" iorcver rousing hopes abd exciting ex? pectations, and luring ou as au ignis faluus lures one on acro.-s the marsh, in tbe vaiu be? lief that it will bring us to our iiaven at lust. Then there is the race ot male flirts great in tho way in which they manage to insinuate things without commuting th unsolved to pos? itive B atemenis. They generally contrive to give thc impression of some m /stemms hin? di ance by which they on- held Lack from full auti trank con tension. Taey hint at fatal bonds, at unfortunate attachment*, at a past that has burnt them u;> or withered tbeui up at any rate that has pre veut ed their futuro from blus somiutr iu ibo dnreciiOJ IO which, they would flin buvti had il bio-aoui al'.d bear fruit. J hey sketch out very vaguely tba outlines jf tome thrilling romance; a lew of tito Byronic breed, add thc suspicio.i ol sumo d irk sud me an? cho y crimo aa a further enhii.ictniem; and when incy bu ve got iho gin's pity and the love that is akin to pi.y. then they cool down cci cntificalij*. nevei creating any scandal, never making any rupture, nev. r coming to a mo? ment when awkward exyiauatious eau Le asked, but cooliiig nevtrilieless. till thu thing drops of ita own accord. dieB out from munition, and they are fieo to carry then* Burrowa and their mysteries elsewhere. Somo mon spend their lives m this kiud ol' thin.', and find their pleas? ure in malu g ah the nice women they know madly or sentimentally in love with them; and if by chanco any peor moth who has burned her winga makes too loud au outcry, the tables m u turned against he." dexterously, and she is held up to public pity-contempt would boa better word-as one who has snff.-red hers df to lore too wed aud by no means wisely, and ?ho bas rou alter a Lothario who*w?uld not let himaelt be caught. Thon there aro certain men wno flirt only wah marriea worn JU, sud others wh J flirt only with girlt-; and the two pastimes are as different as tropical sunlight aud our northern moonshine; and there are some who are "broiheis," and Borne who are .Tachera" to their young friend*-suspicious fa hera on tbe whole, not unlike Lu tie Bed Bidiugiioud' grandmother the wolf, wita per iliouxiy bright e\ e->, and uot a little danger to Bed BidiughOjd m ihe relationship, how de? lightful soever it may ho to the wolf. Some are co?tent witheousiusbip only-wnich, how ever, breaks down quite sufficient fences-and aome are.'-dearest snends," no more, and find that an exceedingly naefni centre from which to work onward and outward. For, if any? thing win" do on which' to hang a discourse, so will any relationship or adoption serve the ends of flirtirur, if it be so willed. But what is flirting ? Is sitting away in cor? ners, talking in low voices, and looking per? sonally affronted if an? unlucky outs'der comes within earshot, flirting ? Not necessarily. It is just possible that Henry may be telling An? gelina all about his admiration for her sister Grace, or Angelina may be confessing to Henry what Charley said to her last m-ht, which makes her lower her eyes as -she i t doing now, and play with the fringe of her fan so ner? vously. May be, if not likely. So that sitting away in corners and whispering together ia not necessarily flinting, though it may look like it. Ie dancing all the "round" dances together? fine goes for decided flirting in the code of the ball room. Bot if the two keep well together? If they axe really fond of dane.ns, as one of the fine arts combining science and enjoyment, they would dance with each other all night, though, outside the "marble halls" they might be deadly enemies-Montagues and Capol?is, with no echo of Borneo and Juliet to sotten I their mutual'dislike. So that not even danc? ing together oftener than is absolutely neces? sary is unmistakable evidence, any more than sitting away in corners, seeing that equal skill and keeping well ih step are reasons enou ?h for pea po tua 1 partnership, ma td og all idea cf flirtation unnecessary. In fact, there is no outward sign or symbol ot flirting which mav not be mistaken and turned round, because flirting is so entirely in the intention, and not in the mere formula, that it becomes a kind of phantasm, a proteus, impossible to seize or to depict with accuracy. One thing, however, we can say-that taking guts and attentions, of? fered with evident design and accepted with tacit understanding, may be certainly held as constituting an important element of flirting. Bul this is flirting on the woman's side. And here you are being continually ta kc u in. Your flirt of the cunningly simple kind, who smiles so sweetly and seems so flatteringly elad to ; see you when you come, who tikes all your presents and acted expressions ot Jove with the most bewitching gratitude and effusion, erven she, so simple aa ?he seems to be. s ips the thread and will not be caught if she does not wish to be caught. At the decisive mo? ment when you think you have secured ber, she makes a bound and is away; then turns round, looks you m the face, and with macy a tear and pretty asseveration Will declare she never understood you,to mean what you say you have meant all al or g ; and that you are cruel to dispel her di earn of a pleasant and .harmless friendship, and" TOI y wicked indeed because you press.her for a decision, t Tee, you are cru rt. because yon hare believed ber hon? est; cruel, because you did not see through the veil of flattery a nd insincerity-kl which she clothed her selfishness; cruel, because ?he was false. That is woman's logic when brought to book, and forced to confess that her pre? tended tova waa only flirting, and that she led yon pnto your destruction simply be a use it pleased her vanity to make you her victim, rheo there are flirts of the open and rollicking kind, wno let you go far, very far indeed, when soddenly they pull up and assume an offended air, as if you had wilfully transgressed known and absolute boundaries -girls and women wbo lead you ou, all in the way of good fellow? ship, to knock you over when you have got just far enough to lose your balance. That is tueir form of the art. They like to see how far they can make a man forget.himaelf, and how much stronger their own delusive enticements.are than prudence, experience, and common sense. Abd there ore turfs of the artful and "still waters" kind, something like the male flirts spoken of just now; sentimental little pusses-perhaps pretty young wives with un? comfortable husbands- whose grieta have-by no me ina soured or scorched, ' ut just mellow? ed and refined them. Or they may be of the sisterly olass, creatures so very frank, so very sisterly and confiding and unsuspicious o. evil, that really yon scarcely kno.r bow to deal with them at a]L And there are flirts of the scien? tific kind; women who have studied the art thoron?hly, and with the grave attention due toan art; and who are adepts in the oe? of every weapon known-using each, according to circumstances and the nature of the victim, and using each with deadly precision. From such may a kind Providence deliver us I As the -tender mercies of the wicked, so axe the scientific flirts-the women and the men who play at bowls with human hearts, for simply the stakes of a whole life's happiness lt used to be an old schoolboy maxim that no real gentleman could be refused by a lady, because no gentleman could presume be? yond bis line of encouragement. A fortiori, no lady would or could give more enoourage m --nt than she meant. What are we to say then of our flirts if this maxim is true ? Are they really "no gentlemen" and "no ladies," according to the famous formula of the kitchen ? Perhaps it would be eaid so if gen? tlehood meant now, as it meant centuries ago, the real worth and virtue of tum anny. Por flirting with intent isa crae!, a false and a heartless amusement: and tune was when cruelty and falsehood were essentially sins that vitiated all claims to gentlehood. And yef the world would be very dull without that innocent kind of nonsense which often goes by th 3 name of flirting-that pleasant something vhlcb la more than mere acquaintanoeehiD and less than formal loverhood-that bright and animated intercourse which makes the hours pass so easily, yet which leaves no bitter pang of self-reproach, th it indefinite andun deflnablennterestby wbioh the one man or the ene woman becomes a kind of microcosm for the time, the epitome of all that ie pleasant and of all that is lovely. The only caution to be observed is. not to co too far. Sp fri ul Satires. tar ANOTHER WONDER OF THE AGE.
