TESTING HEB INNOCENCE.-The fol? lowing touching scene recently oc? curred in a Parisian court of justice: A poor, pale, wan seamstress, was arraigned for theft. She appeared at the bar, with a baby of eleven or twelve months in her arms, her child. She went to get some work one day, and stole three gold coins of lOf. each. The money was missed soon after she left her employer, and a servant was sent to her rooms to claim it. The servant found her about to quit her rooms, with the three gold coins in her hand. She said to the servant: " I was going to carry them back to you." Nevertheless, she was carried to the commissioner of police, and he ordered her to be sent before the police court for trial. She was too poor to engage a lawyer, and, when asked by the judge what she had to say for herself, she answered: "The day I went to my employer's, I car? ried my child with me. It was in my arms, as it is now. I was not paying attention to it There were several gold coins on the mantle-piece, and, unknown to me, it stretched out its little hand, and seized three pieces, which I did not observe until I got home. I at once put on my bonnet, and was going back to my employer to return them when I was arrested. This is the solemn truth, as I hope for heaven's mercy." The court could not believe this story. They upbraided the mother for her impudence in endeavoring to palm off such a manifest lie for the truth. They besought her for her own sake to retract so absurd a tale, for it could have no effect, but oblige the court to sentence her to a much severer punishment than they were disposed to inflict upon one so young and evidently steeped so deep in poverty. These appeals had no effect, except to strengthen the poor mother's pertinacious adherence to her original story. As this firmness was sustained by that look of inno? cence which the most adroit criminal can never counterfeit, tho court were at some loss to discover what decision justice commanded. To relieve their embarrassment, one of the judges proposed to renew the scene described by the mother. Three gold coins were placed on the clerk's table. The mother was requested to assume the position in which she said she stood at her employer's house. There was then a breathless pause in the court. Tlie baby soon discovered the bright coin, eyed it for a moment, smiled, and then stretched forth its tiny hand and clutched them in its fingers with a miser's eagerness. The mother was acquitted. ?X A X JUL<M? X AJfAy Auctioneer AND COMMISSION MERCHANT, Richardson Street, Opposite tlie Ruins of Janner/'s Hotel, COLUMBIA, 8. C.

ERS, advise you of the fact that Charleston is again a market for the pur? chase of goods; and in view of thc early opening of tho Spring Trade, wo bog to solicit tho resumption of tho patronage so liberally extended to this market in tho past. Wo aro awaro that many old and respected firms will bo missed Trom our number, but many familiar names will bo found in new associations, ready to supply thc wants of thc trade as of yore, and other old and new firms will be added to our mimbcr at an early day. Tho cash and short credit system having been universally adopted in all the North? ern markets, wc aro necessarily compelled to adopt a like system as tho only sato ono on which to conduct business, and thc hcavv per ccntage once necessary to cover bad ?V.bts will now bc avoided. Small pro? fits -.ind quick returns will bc thc rule, and under its working we hope not only to restore to our ancient city its former pros? perity, but to extend her trade to tho full extent of the capabilities her excellent geographical position and natural advan? tages afford. Our ..lerest and ambition combino to stimulate us in attaining this result. Thc South Carolina Railroad is now upon to Columbia, and its President has ollici ally informod us that tho Augusta line will bo completed to Blackville this month, and that on thc first of February ho will receive through freight to Augusta. A line of ?..earners to Savannah will afford facilities ir shipping in that direction. It is our purpose to have in store, by thc last of February, a complete and varied assort? ment of goods in our respective lines adapted to the Spring Tracto, and every exertion shall bc made to promote your interests. We extend to you thc hand of commer? cial fellowship, and solicit your co-opera? tion and patronage in our efforts to make Charleston the centre! of Southern trade.
