We cannot urge too strongly on business people the interest which concerns them lu advertising liberally at this particular time. The holidays ; are approaching fast, and only those who make ( themselves known to the public through the newspaper columns should expect to reap any extra benefit from the busy season.

IMPORT OF SULPHBR.-The British bark Hawkeye, from Girgentl, Sicily, with seven hun- l dred and sixty-five tons sulphur, arrived off this i port yesterday.

It will be used in the t preparation of fertilizers, a business now looming f up Into great proportions lu connection with Car- t ollna phosphates._ _ t INSANB.-On Monday night, a man named , John Duggan excited the suspicions or the police- , man on duty under the portico of the Guard house as to his sanity, by his strange talking and ' . behavior. He Informed the policeman that his clothing was filled'with snakes, and, to prove it, ( commenced to undress. The snake story passed ] muster until the pants and coats were laid aside, , when the unfortunate man was taken into the j Guardhouse and placed in a cell. During the ( night he exhibited all the symptoms of insanity, ? and, next morning, was referred by the Mayor to ( the city registrar, under whose care he Is doing , well at the hospital. ( A SHORT CHAPTER ON KEYS.-Just at this : tlme^punusual number of keys are lying around 1 loose. .Door keys, wi m an extraordinary attire- 1 tlon fdVnlght latches, abound, much to the un happiness of the female portion of mankind. Whis-key takes snndry ghastly strides, some turns at full length on the sidewalk, and more ' before his Honor thc Mayor. Dar-keys and tur? keys go hand in hand-as witness the midnight ? deficiency In hen coops. The last Item lu the 1 chaptef is a don-key, found yesterday wander? ing in a most dlsgracefull state or solitude a sort or I'm-drcamlng-of-tbee atlveness-and, consequently, arrested by an unsympathetic policeman. He successfully pleaded hts own case, however, and was discharged on his own recognizance. EXTRAORDINARY.-AB an Indication of the remarkable mildness of our present winter- , weather not generally appreciated at the North it may be stated that in a private garden on Rut? ledge avenue a second crop of plums have attain? ed the size of a Spanish olive, in the same gar? den, strawberries growing in the open atr, planted only last October-two months ago-have ripened, and been eaten. Old vines within the last ten days have yielded more than a quart of the same luscious fruit. Who wouldn't live lu such a Bun? ny clime. One of two things, however, app ear to be certain-and we don't say lt to scare people -either we are rapidly approaching the sun ac? cording to the theory of a Germa i scientist, or else there ls an extraordinary bulling process going on down below. It's the only way to ac? count for our almost unprecedented warm, weather. Hotel Arrival?-December 13. t* MILLS DOUSE. G. A McCord, Louisville; W. W. Clark, Bal? timore; G. G. Y. Owens, Laurens; J.

"im'Ror?ro THE WEST END. Beautifying Influences at Work Another Resort for Ladies and Little Folks-An Important L;.al Change. Every one who is familiar with the pre? cincts of the west end of Broad or of Queen streets knows what an unsighly object has for years existed there m the shape of a waste of I mud and water, especially at low tide. Tet in many respects this portion of the city is regarded as one of the most pleasant localities that can be selected for a home. A number of handsome resi? dences have already been erected, and proprie? tors of real estate are only awaiting a favorable opportunity to build yet other structures. The completion of certain improvements now in pro? cess-will, beyond all question, make that neigh? borhood the favorite resort of the city, and di? vide with the Battery the attraction which attaches to a moonlight walk or a home \i\mn the water front. The pond to which we refer is bounded bj Broad, Lynch, Rutledge and Beanfaln streets, ann for the purpose of removing its most'disagreeable aspects, the City Council some time ago, appro? priated the sum of two thor sand dollars. Work men were Immediately employed, and they have since been assiduous in carrying ont the plans of the city engineer. These-plans contemplate the construction of a broad promenade, thirty feet In width, laid with crushed shells, like the walks on the Battery, and similarly provided with seats and a handsome railing, and planted with trees. The material, which ls to constitute the base of this walk, ls now being taken from the pond and exposed to the evaporating influences of the sun? shine. It will be carried up twelve Inches above the level of the street, so as to be beyond the effect of the spring tides, and from eighteen Inches to two feet above the surface of the water. The depth of the latter will average Ave feet. The roadway will be Arty feefwlde, and newly graded, so that rain-water will flow freely into the gut? ters, and be discharged into the pond through vitrifled stone-ware pipes passing under the bank. A tidal gate will als J be constructed on the west side of the pond. The total cost of the undertaking, which may occupy several months, will, lt is estimated, not fall far short of $7500-an amount, however, which will be speedily repaid to the city by the increased value or surrounding property. With? out criticising the character or the work from the standpoint of an engineer, lt appears to the eye of common sense that a mud-dredging machine worth Ave hnndreu dollars would, in one day, do the work of fifty men, materially facilitare the prosecution or the undertaking, and save money The Improvement ls too Important to be permit ted to lag tor a moment, and lt ls to be hoped that the City Council will Bumclently recognize the fact to keep its officiai optics directed in this quarter. Health, happiness, increase of property values, and the beautifying of a natural? ly beautiful portion of Charleston, are all to be taken Into account. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER.-Isaac Jen? kins was brought before Commissioner Porteous, resterday morning, charged with being one of the rioter.* at Biggin Church during the late elec? tion. Upon examination Isaac was proved to Have been an active participant'in the abstraction Df the ballot box, the principal feature of the elec lion proceedings at that poll, and he was bound over to appear for trial at the January term of the District Court. Wm. Simmons was brought up on a similar charge, but the evidence failed to inculpate him, and he was released. The*commissioner ls still busy issuing warrants against offenders at '.he recent election. THE PIONEER.-Messrs. Clapp & Jones, of the Hudson Kew York Steam Fire Engine Man? ufactory, last Friday, by the steamship James Adger, returned to thc Pioneer Steam Fire Ba? rine Company their engine, thoroughly overhaul? ed and much improved, having added new pump tieads, new boiler, a larger suction and new lues. On Monday night, after an extra meeting, ;he company tested her capabilities, and the ver? ile!, so far. ls most complimentary to the maui: acturers. She will be tried once more before hey conclude to accept her. In tier present state ihe will certainly compensate the department for 1er long holiday while recruiting her health In ;he North. At d we congratulate this old and Haunch company, the pioneer in the steam Fire department of our city, on her return. THE FREUNSCHAPTSBOND.-By reference to mr advertising columns, it will be seen that a repetition of the Interest lng drama enacted on the naugnratlctt of thc new Freunschaftsbund Hall tias been requested, and will take place -jn Thurs? ley evening, the 15th instant. A" members may Invite friends, wc presume the attendance will be unusually large, public Interest having been iroused to a remarkable degree. On the same ilay (Thursday) the ball will be open rrora 10 A. M. until 4 P. M. for public inspection. Those who desire to see a building adapted in true German style to German purposes and associations, should not rall to be present, especially the ladles, for such an opportunity may hot be again offered. As we have before said, there ls no similar edifice in the South that can compare with this in beauty and completeness. ' It reflects credit on Its pro lectors and the society generally by whom lt is owned. THE CIRCUS.-Everybody and his wife are talking about the wo iderr.il feats and excellent equestrian display ofStoue A Murray's circus. As set forth in their bills- lt ls superior to any en teralnment of the klud that we have, had in Charieston,for a long time, and tba publicare manifesting their appreciation. MUiie. -Ellsler performs marvellously on a wire extending to the top of the pavilion; Mr. James E. Cook rides .vitli grace and lurrep'dityL and Mdlle. De Berge with attractive vim. Le Jeur'e Burt bounds hurdles on bare-backed horses, with fearful speed and dash, and the clowns, Messrs. Stone, Marraj, Adams and Barry, are funny from beginning to end.

The following is the annual report o? the Board of Control of the widows' Home, read at the third anniversary meeting, in the Academy of Music Hall, on Monday evening: The Board of Control of the "Home for Mothers, Widows and Daughters of Confederate Soldiers," respectfully, presen ts to the association its third annual report: During the past year there have been domiciled in the "Home" one hundred and tlve persons. Of this number seventy-seven are now resident in the institution-twelve more have been accepted, and are dally expected-and four have died. Thirty young ladles, orphans -of Confederate soldiers, or children of our impoverished people/ have been furnished with ahorne and with board, and have been aided in pursuing their studies in our city schools. The board takes pleasure in testifying to the general guod order and harmony which have pre? vailed in the institution, and to the additional evi? dence which the year has afforded of its impor? tance and value. All of the available room of the large building has been occupied, anti with careful economy of space, lt still proves well adapted to the purposes of the "Home." The expenses of theTpastyear have been $4306 30. Ot this sum $1488 75 was paid for the rent of the Duildlng; $2000 for household expenses; $70 for repairs; $161 50 Tor furniture: $3oo for salaries of matron and governess of pupils: $48 for printing; ?40 for extra rxpenses of nursing the sick, and 5193 05 for incidental expenses for pupils, plano Hire, stationery, Ac. li will thus be seen that the m tire cost of the maintenance of the Institution nas been considerably less than the estimate made ai the beginning of the year. Through the lberallty of the community, and that of generous 'riends elsewhere, the expenses have been fully net. The board especially acknowledges Its obllga :ions to the "Gentleman's Auxiliary Association," or general contributions, active co-operation ind wise counsels. From the patrons of the in ititution, thus organized Into an Auxiliary Assu? mion, the "Home" has received during the past rear $1890. This amount ls comprised mainly of ?urns pledged by our citizens as annual contribu? ions to the support of the Institution; and the iheerful alacrity with which it has been given >ften with seir-denvlng liberality-Is the earnest hat it may be relied upon In the futnre. The Board of Control cannot withhold the expres? i?n of profound sorrow that he whose burning latrlotlsm and generous zeal found such conge? wai exercise lu the Auxiliary Assonatlon was uot ?ermttted to see and share the success of that tobie enterprise. In the decease of the Hon. tlchard Yeadon the "Home" lost an indefatlga ile and Inestimable friend. But the organization ?hlch he was so interested in perfecting remains n unimpaired efficiency, and, under its honored ind faithful officers, has abundantly fulfilled its .romlse. During the year fouuiersons have died in the 'Home." Two or these^ereaged and confirmed n val id s when they entered the Institution at its ?rat organization, and the third was advanced in ire. The two former were greatly respected idles, representatives of names honored In the olonlal history and church of Carolina; and the hird was a respected widow, the mother of a lonfederate soldier. The fourth case named hove was that of a voung and unusually prom ling pupil br the Institution, who rel) a lamented lctlm to constitutional ?linease. She waa interred a the beautiful lot in Magnolia, presented to the .Home" by Henry Gourdin, Esq., and ihe Hon. ames B. Campbell The general health of the Institution has been ood, although, In addition to the cases mention d above, several instances of severe sickness ave occurred. Through the continued aud noble enerosity of the "Washington Light Infantry lharltable Association," Dr. Francis L. Parker, he surgeon bf that organization, has given faith ul and constant attendance upon tho "Home," nd necessary medicines have been gratuitously upplled. The board also gratefully acknowledges bugations to Dr. H. W. DeSaussure, for valuable ld as consulting physician; and to Dr. F. Pey re 'orcher, for his services cheerfully rendered luring the temporary absence or Dr. Parker, and o Dr. J. R. Solomons. The educational feature of the "Home" has readily grown In prominence und interest. The I pplications for admission have been many more han could be granted. From thirteen thc first e ir, the number has been Increased, until, du log the past vear. thirty have been maintained a the "Home.'" Tue good which has been thus iccomplishcd. the pressing need that Buch ad ?an tunes should be extended as widely as poss!-1 ile. nnd thc manifest approval and support or the lennie, have-led the board to venture an Increase ven upon the last number mentioned. From canv applications, ten or thc most urgent have ?en accepted, and thc ''Dome" has. this year, orry of tue daughters of our stricken people, to mom lt will aflord the best facilities for acquiring n education. < if this number, however, ad arc ot wholly benlflclary. From some who are able o pay, or for whom scholarships have been so? ured, $100 per annum ls received. For benet!* larles, the only expense is for wearing apparel nd books. These, moreover, are secured to dem at reduced rates. Of tue- forty young ladles the ' Home," but two are from the city. It lias been deemed or promt importance to or amze a school for the young laities tn thc Home" building. Although the city schoo.s pun which wiey attended were of the highest naracter, and the terms upon which they were ?C(dvcd most liberal, orien wholly gratuitous, et many daysor toll ion were lost, from inclem nt weather aud slight Indispositions, which .ould have been saved, had the neces-lty bceu bviated of leaving the '-Home" building. . Ap rehenslou was felt, too. of changes which might ccur at any moment In thc public schools. I'hen to these considerations was added the im ortance or having the young ladles under the nnie'llatc supervision of-the board-who were esponsible for their welfare-and excited to gen ral emulation by pursuing the samo studies Mar the same teachers, no doubt was enter nined by the board of the duty, if possible, of or anizing a t?male seminary within the ..Home." he plan has proved entirely feasible, and has een adopted and carried out. The services f two experienced, capable and approved idv te .chers have been recured. These idies. now reside In the "Home" and arc ii successful charge of tjie school. All the ranches of a thorough education are taught, in ludlng music, French. German aud Latin, whilst ,u opportunity IB Bflorded of giving to the wards r the institution Hie loving oversight aud ?alu- j ary discipline ol the well ordered household, peclul attention ls pl^en to secure a complete nastery of the branches of an English education, tench is one of the regular, studies of the fiohooL luslc ls taught by accomplished ladles of the ;lty. without charge, and thc class In German mjoys the signal advantaue of the voluntary crvlces of Proressor >achtlebeu. Instruction is riven d.tliy also lu Latin. The experiment has hus rar proved an entire success. Although lt viii necessitate a somewhat increased expense, hi-board has no hesitation in saying that thc idded outlay will be far more than returned by he goo l accomplished. It l< estimated that for he preseut year the sum of $60J0 will be neces lary un?! will be suillcient to cover ail the ex .euses of the Home. Of this amount $333 28 are low in the treasury of the Gentlemen's Auxiliary Association, by means of which the current ex lenses or the Home are being met. It is the desire and purpose or the Auxiliary Vasuciailon to secure the names of four hundred lersous whn will become members of that organ zatlon by the payment of $10 yearly, ror the sup )ort or thc ..Home," thus securing lt a certain esouree. Two hundred ami four names have >een rcaJIty obtained, and the Auxiliary Assocla lon appeals to our citizens to make up the full lumber of four hundred. We caunot think thc ippeal will ne in vam. His board gratefully acknowledges the con Inned liberality of the friends of the Institution, n donations of necessary and valuable articles, nost of which have been acknowledged In the loliy papers, at the time of their reception. They ihlnk lt due, however, to make special mention of I he (act, that throughout the.entire year the j 'Home" has received generous contributions In neat, from Messrs. Thomas A. Johnson. James ( Dunning, and Timothy O'Brien. To the CHARLES? TON DAILY NEWS and Charleston Courier, the I Doanl has also been under continued obligations 'or most valuable favorj. I All of which is respectfully submitted. CLUBS AND STARS.-Wm. Jarvey and Frank Ladson, arrested for being drunk and disorderly in H.
