Ha. was covered with ihe burning oil, and had it not been for the aid which the noise of the explosion and ihe screams of the other inmates of the house drew to the scene, he would probably have been burned to death on the spot. Tbe flames were extinguished at once, and the sufferer escaped with bad burns upon bis hands and face. They are pilnful, but not supposed to be fatal.

The first Moulton concert takes place to? night, when the lair lady who charmed Ros? sini and took New York by storm will make her appearance before a Charleston audience. It is not often that beauty and vocalism meet, and when they do the public are prompt to place the posesor upon a high pedestal In the temple of fame. Of Mts. Moulton the New York Woild says: Mrs. Moulton's method is quite a? admirable as her voice. For exactness of execution we must accord her unusual praise. For chaste brilliancy and voluble eas-* In the use of all the ornaments of her art che must take rank with the most gifted cantatrice of our time. Her shake is as clear and rapid as a bird's trill, and she commands every gradation of force willi easy mastery, while her pianissimo notes are shaded to the most delicate tint of sound without losing their brilliancy. In all the graces of expression Mrs. Moulton ts an adept. Just intonation, great taste, a natural grace of delivery, a wondai fal volubility and pl'aocy ol voice, and an exuberance of emotion, give to her singing a charm which more than compensates the absence of decla matoty power or vocal strength. This is hearty praise, and ihe successful tour which Mrs. Mou ton has made through the Northwest and South proves it to be well de? served. There is no doubt ttat Mrs. Moulton is an extraordinary dinger, and no lever of music should miss tbe present oppor? tunity of hearing her in all the ripeness of her talent. Signor P. Ferrnntl is well known in Europe as a fine artist. He is said to have a splendid baritone voice, and was a treat favorite with both Rossini and Lablache. Mr. Wehl! is an embvTt pianist, and Mr. Brookhouse Bowler, as Charleston knowe, is a sweet singer of ballad music. The concert proaai-es to be an admirable one in every rrspect, am.' it is not surprising that the miisic-.'oving public should be on the tip-toe of expectation. The Academy. The last appearance of the Watkins Troupe at the Academy last evening drew a large au? dience, for whose entertainment the dramatic romance Kathleen Mavourneen was perform? ed. The play itself is full of striking pictures and noble sentiments, and the two principal characters. Terence and Kathleen, were sus ta'ned in their best ftile by Mr. and Mrs. Wat? kins. The audience testified their approbation by frequent app'ause, and the troupe termi? nated their engagement here in a highly suc? cessful and fl tttertng manner. The Circos. The large pavi ion on the Citadel Green was again crowded last evening. Among the au? dience were a large number of ladies and children, and Dan and his company gave a performance which folly sustained his high reputation and merited the enthusiastic ap? plause lt obtained. The programme ls changed each night, and at a second visit spectators are not greeted wlih the same sights they have witnessed before. Tnis evening the celebrated Indian act wil: be on the bill lor the grand entry, and, dur? ing the pei formate?, the '.melancholy Dan-e' will introduce both of his trained horses, "Ex? celsior, Jr.,v and "Stephen A. Douglas." On Saturday afternoor. Mr. Rice has invited the managers of tBe Orphan Asylum lo be pres? ent with the orphans, when he will have a programme arranged with special reference to their amusement. The public are also re? quested to notice that the prices of admission 1er the remainder of the week will be fifty cents for adults; cr-ildren under ten years ol age twenty-five centp. AUTOMATIC TELEGRAPHING. The Go'it anti Slock Telegraph Compa? ny Lay iii? lr Wires In Charleston The Way lt Works. One of thesigr.s of the times and ol the prosperity and go-ahead spirit of Charleston ls now to be seen In the wires of the Cold and Stock Telegraph Company, which traverse the business portions of the city. The enterprise has been conducted by Mr." Easter lin, the en? ergetic manager of theWestein Union Tele? graph Company in this city, and the lines only await a transmitter to be put In working order. Tis? wires lea 1 from the office of the tern Union to the offices ol the various criber?, where the Company place one of Edison's priming telegraph instruments of the sime paient as linse used in New York and other Nonhern cities. By means cf these Instruments tbe mer? chants receive at their office, by telegraph, a neat message, printed ia plain English, re? porting the condition of the markets. These same messages have hitherto been carried around by toys, and the outside merchant rm y estimate the disadvantage they labor un? der when sales are heavy, the market excited, and five minutes may make all the difference between a serious loss and a heavy gain. These are but branches of the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company, which has its headquarters ia New York, and they have been Introduced here by this company In conjunci?n with the Western Union Company, Charleston being one of ihe cities selected for the location of a branch. The wires are worked at the maia office of the Western Union, and all market dispatches come directly through. The instrument s are no inenmbrance In the merchant's office, an i seem more of an orna? ment than oriierwlse. They are circular, about ten inches in dianoeter. and require no operator in the merchant's office to work them. Tne work ls all done at the main office of the Western Union, and ihe message comes out tor the merchant printe:! on a small strip of paper in numbers and capita! letters. A neat gla=s case covers the Instrument as it rests upon a shelf or table, keeping it crear and In good working condition. The mechan? ism of the instrument is beautiful, and, like al! good inventions, it seems a wonder that no? body ever thought of the same thing before. Tue wires have all been laid, but as these Instruments are only receiving instruments, they cannot be worked until the transmlttor arrives and is set np in the main office of the Western Uulon. It ls expected In a few day?, and tbe wires will all be working by the 1st of January. Wires have been run to the offices of Messrs. James Adger & C >., Pelzer, Rodgers A Co., Porcher & Henry, Mowry & Son, Geo. W. Williams <fc Co., and other prominent mer? chants, and we shall no doubt see the day when every first-class house in this eily will have ?ts private telegraph. MAN STABBED.-On last Friday night Mr. Henry Harper was severely stabbed In four or five places. He received his wounds In a general brawF^e believe. The difficulty took place in Kirby Township, about sixteen miles from Marion. CLUBS AND STAKS.-Josephine Brown, lodged for being drunk and raising a disturbance in Elliott street, was sentenced to pay a fine of two dollars, or spend ten days In the?House of Correction. C. Redenhard, for lying down at the corner ot Reid and Meeting streets, was visited with a similar sentence. Both offenders paid up. THE DAT OF FORTUNE approaches.
