All the orphan children attended the after? noon performance of Dan Bice's Circus on Saturday. The little ones, as may be supposed, .were hugely delighted. At night, the veteran manager returned thanks to the Charleston public for their kind patronage of his "great moral show." and especially thanked Assist? ant-Chief of Police Fraser for his vigilance and courtesy. Aitrr the performance, the mammoth pavilion was taken down, and acrobats, riders and the great man-fish wend? ed their way to Savannah. The Watklnscs. These favorite actors open at the Academy of Music to-night, when a new grand his? torical drama, entitled "Norah O'Neil;or, True to the Last," will be played for the first time in Charleston. This play was extraordinarily successful in New York, Philadelphia and Washington. The Grand Tournament which seemed so distant a few days back, is looming up in grand proportions as the ap? pointed time draws near. Saturday the en? terprising managers consulted the officers of the South Carolina Jocky Cub, and Irom them obtained permission to use the race track and grounds for the two days required. The prin? cipal obstacle has thus been done away with, by the kindness of the Jocky Club, and all that now remains is for the horseB to be trained, the knights to burnish their armor, and practice their chargers in readiness for the racing on Tuesday, and the tournament on Wednesday. A humber of knights are ex? pected from the country, and with their practiced horsemanship will give even a Cen? taur a hard contest for the prizee."Come one, come all." Emancipation Day. The annual celebration, commemorating the emancipation of the colored race in tbe South, take3 place to-day, and will consist of the usual procession, followed by the oration and reading of the proclamation, at White Point GardeD, on the Battery.

A Stairway Falls Through-Six Men and a Plano Come Down-Casualties, ?c. About twelve o'clock, on Saturday, six color? ed men, found about King street, were called into tbe building No. 250 King street to assist In bringing down from the second story a large plano belonging to a fam lly who were about to move. The first story of the build? ing is occupied by the "B!g Boot" establish? ment, and the men were obliged to bring the plano down a fTgat ol steps In the passage? way on the side. They got it into the passage? way, and were about to descend, but, as soon as their full weight came upon them, the stairs gave way witb a crab, and the six men holding the unwieldy ins'rument were, togeth? er with their burden,burled to the floor below. One of the men, a powerful black fellow, named Joe Mitchell, was beneath the instru? ment supporting it with bis back. It carno down upon bim like a dead-fall from a height, of twelve feet, and he was taken out insensi? ble. HIB. body was placed on a Bpring cart and sent to his home in Weim's Court, with hardly a hope of his recovery. Yeeterday, however, he seemed to be doing well. Geo. Washington, another of the six, received e. severe blow on the head from the plano, but escaped slightly stunned and badly cut. He soon recovered and went to work. Another bf the party had his left arm injured, and ali the rest were more or l?oe bm:cod. The piano fell the height of one story, fully twelve feet, and, though apparently not much Injured on the outside, was considerably damaged.

ACURIOCS CAS;.-Benjamin Chartres, Jr., was taken from Tallah ssee to Columbia, to be confined in the Lunatic Asylum at that place. The authority was the decree of the Tallahassee court. Chartres declared that he was sane, and was tb?' victim of a "onsplracy. He was brought before Judge Melton on Friday, his counsel claiming that he was entitled to a new hearing before his confine? ment in a South Carolina institution. Judge Mellon ruled that he could not go behind the great seal of the State of Florida, so the prisoner was delivered to the superintendent of ine asylum. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR MATORVWAGENER. A number of the friends of Mayor Wagener, in the midst of the merriment of the holiday season, determined on offering him such a Cbrls'mis present as might be a lasting re? minder of the esteem in which he ls held by all classes of his fellow-citizens. - The idea was soon acted upon, and, without difficulty, a snm of money was subscribed sufficiently large to pay for a fine horse and a handsome buggy. This gift was presented to Mayor Wagener on Thursday, and was accepted by him in the following letter: To Messrs. J. C. H. Claussen, Henry Bischoff, C. 0. Bucker and others, my kind friends ? MT DEAR SIRS-The beautiful gia that your great friendship and kindness has entrusted me with is gratefully accepted, but with great diffidence of my deserts of the same. I am just now in that phase of my official career when my duty to the community that has hon? ored me with her public administration com? pels me to do many acts and support measures which may look harsh and unjust, and need Lime to develop their necessity and public sig? nificance-consequently, I have already, In my official career, earned more frowns than smiles, and lt needs the encouraging confi? dence and approbation of those that are more discerning, wise and fair-minded, to pursue, without fear or favor, fte str ljht path of duty. I am sure I can render you no better return or more acceptable thanks for your goodness than by a faithful adherence to the principles sf equal justice, and by an enlightened, pro? gressive, honest and economical administra? tion, upon the streneth of which you have ?lected me. And this"! will pledge you. May the Lord prosper me, as I shall endeavor to Jeserve lt. Yours, very truly, JOHN A. WAGENER. We hope that Mayor Wagener may enjoy the Christmas gift for many a year, and that the auggy itself will last as long as the famous One-horse Shay. BUSINESS CHANGES.
