Wheu we first became acquainted with Skinner, he was the leader of the orches? tra at ooo of the theatres. And while he was acting in that capacity they got up some kind of a fairy spectacle, for which .Skinner provided choice music. LCe was particularly proud of au over? ture arranged by himself. It was copied out by hand, and it happened most un? fortunately that tho copies wore not finished iu time for rehorsul, and so Skinner had to take the chances ot the musicians gutting it right on tho first attempt in tho presence of tho audience. A couple of hours before the theatre opened Skinner weut around aud placed the music upon the stands of tho orches? tra. Ten minutes afterwards, wheu Skinner had gone away, a friend of his namod Browu, came in and saw the music, and for tho Bake of playing a little joko on Skinner, he gathered up all that music, and replaoed it with an old lot of sheets, containing fragmentary musio of about twenty different kinds, which he found in a closet in tho orches? tra room. After a while the audience assembled. Skinner brought in his musicians, took his place, and whisper? ed to tho players to exercise exceeding care. Then Skinner gave a couplo of taps with his batou, aud tho orchestra went into action iu furious earnest. It was awful. There was a most terrific discord, with six or seven different kinda of time, twenty varieties .of tunes and such a jangling, und tooting, und scrap? ing, that ull the women in tho audience jumped to their feet and eoreamed. Tho first violinist exerted himself to saw out a passage from "Martha;" tho mun with thu flute struiued himself until he was red iu tho face, ovor na air fretu "Stab it Mater;" tho doublc-bnss mun engaged in a futile effort to interpret tho "L ist Rose of Summer;" tho clarionet shrieked ont thu "Little Brown Jug," while thu drummer, finding that ho could not play tho "Faust" march, hammered away ut raudom. Skinner was wild with ama/, J meut and rago. lie looked cross-03'id for a momeut at the trombone man, who was attacking "See, tho Conquering Hero Carnes," with intense earnestness, and thou, throwing down his baton, ho gavo ono ferocious yell, aud leaped upon tho trombono man, with murder in II?B eyo. They had it out right there iu the orchestra, and it lasted just five ment?tes, amid the cheers of tho audience, until Skinner, having jammed one leg through tho drum, and torn away a quurter of u milo of fiddle-Btrings with lu.; fist, landed the trombone maa in the body of tho bnss viol, and smashed that sweet in? strument into kindling wood. They had no overture thnt evening, aud another mun had to load what was loft of tho band, for Skinner went homo. Ho is still hunting for the man who changed tho musio. When he finds Mr. Brown, there will bo a still more terrific combat. [ Pittsburg Leader. SAD ACCIDENT-DEATH OF AN ESTEEM . ED CITIZEN.-Wo regret to announce that Mr. J. C.

TY.-On Tuesday of last week, near Grahamville, in this County, a young man named J7arr, while riding toward tho town on a mule, wa? hutted by a voice from a thicket hy the roadside. Turning his bend, ho saw a mau armed with a gnu, cuitrgn from tho bushos, whoso fauo was concealed by tt quantity of gray moss, hm hands showing him to be that of u negro. Tho young man spurring up his animal to escape, was fired upon by tho highwayman. The ball pasHod thaough tho lappel of his coat and entered tho shoulder of the mule, without, however, iuflio iog a dis? abling wound. Booing that the attempt waa futile, thc Ku Klux disappeared into the woods. On tho same afternoon n lady named Dupont, living nour Grahamville, re? turning to her house after a brief ab? sence, saw a man jump from a window. Over his face was u white eloth, with eye-holes in it. His hands, also, showed him to be a colored man. He had robbed the bonne of money und silver? ware.-Beaufort Republican. A BOSTON ROMANCE.-A Boston wo? man, who had for long been givon up for dead, by ull who were dear to her, lately appeared, "tho ghost of her formor Belf," to those who bud thought never to seo her nguiu. She told ii story of strange und horrible sufferings. More than ii Booro of years ugo she hud sailed, a young girl of eighteen, with her mis? sionary husband for "India's corni straud." The vesstd was wrecked ou the Arabian coast, und nil ou board perished save her husband and herself. Ho wus preserved only lo fall ii viclim to Arah cruelty und she ti? Arab shivery. While her beauty lasted ?ho was thu favorite wife nf the mont powerful chief iu tho South Arabian Desert, but wheu that waned she fell from her "bad eminence ' uud was transferred to the harem of an inferior sheik. And sn she lived, prayed for death, but not daring to die, till, baudied from one barbarian to another, she, a Boston lad}*, in whose veins flowed tho purest Puritan blood, found herself the wife of au Arabian water carrier. From his power an American traveler freed her and provided her with the means to renell home. BRITISH SOUTH SKA SLAVE TRAD::. Tho report recently made iu Parliament upon the slave trade, which hus buen curried on for the past iifteeu years under thu British flag among the South Pacido Islands, gives a particular ac? count of its methods as well us extent. Per hs ps tho most cburaclorisUo ruse ol these slave-tradora was to take advuutngo of tho great und nobie reputation of Bishop Pattersou in tue South-western seas. Tho kidnapper would go ashore at "the Swallows," "the Solomons," or "tho Loyalty Islands," dressed in ti white surplice, and would proceed to hold with his mate and crew a sham reli? gious 6crvieo ou tho bench. Accus? tomed to hear of tho good bishop and his priests, tho natives threw asido sus? picion and cheotfully accompanied tho white hypocrite on board, whereupon tho anchor was got up, aud the vessel sailed off. Such, say? a correspondent, aro but specimens of the villainy which has gone on, nod, by this last horrible piece of evidence, is still going on uuder tho British flag, nod for tho benefit of tho British colonies. A most terrible a oident occurred in Aiken on Saturday afternoon last by tho careless uso of fire-arms, whioh resulted in the death of a most estimable young colorod woman, named Mary Williams. It seems that a colored youth, named George Wilson, who was at tho time in the yard of tho deceasod, was exhibiting a pistol whioh he possessed, and while handling it the pistol exploded, the ball entering directly under the left shoulder and penetrating tho lungs, causing death in u few moments. A jury of inquest was om pan nu! ed, who, ofter tho exami? nation of a good mauy wituesses, re? turned the following verdict: "That Mary Williams came to her deuth by a ball from a pistol in tho bauds of Geo. Wilsou, aud that it was by accident; but tho jury censure George Wilfou for tho careless manner in which he handled said pistol." Tho deceased was a step? sister of George Wilsou. Such careless? ness as is ovideuced iu thc testimony ad? duced is really criminal. -.- . o~ - Tho notorious Dau.'Sickles threuteus, through his lawyer, John Graham, to prosecute the editors of the New York )VorUl for libel, nulos.? that journal will retract certain expressions lately used in its editorial columns, which Sickles aud his counsel think are "grossly defama? tory upon tho character and reputation of Major-General Sickles." Tho Worhl declines to retract, and goes on to say that "wo have repeatedly and deliber? ately culled Sickles an acquitted mur? derer-a mau who shot tho alleged se? ducer of his wife, and afterwards ex? cited tho loathing disgust of gontlemen and men of honor by creeping back to tho bed which he had killed another man for defiling-cohabiting ngain with tho dishonored wife whose shame ho had published to tho world and proved in a court of justice, as a means of saving his nock from tho gallows.

ANOTHER FEARFUL KU KLUX RAID-A NKORO SHOCKINGLY WHIPPED.-Wo leam that a colored mau WUB seized on our! street?, on last Saturday night, by ti party of disguised negroes, who, foi some real or fancied grievanco ut his hands, gavo him an unmerciful cow? hiding.

It ?R one of the most ludicrous soones in every day life. Wo recently observed tho process-indeed, wo paid more at? tention than the hen did, for she did not mind it nt ult, and luid an egg next day, an if nothing had happened. In foot, that hen will now kuow for the first time t<he served in the. capacity of a target. Tho predatory fowl bad invaded tho precincts of the flower bed, and was in? dustriously pecking and scratching for the nutritious seed of thu carly worm, blissfully unconscious of impending danger. The lady now appears upon the scene with a broom. This she drops and picks up a rooky fragment of the Silurian age, and then made her first mistake-they all do it-of seizing the projeotilo with the wrong hand. Then, with malioe aforethought, she makes the further blunder of swinging her arms perpendicularly instead of horizontally -thereupon tho stone flies into tho air, describing an irregular elliptical curve, aud strikes the surface of tho earth as far 'rom lim heu UH thu thrower Blood at tho timo, in a course due West from tho same, the hen thon bearing by the com? pass North-North-east by half East. At tho second attempt the stone narrowly missed tho head of the thrower herself, who seeing that aoy furtbor attempt at the kind would be suicidal, did wbut she might have dono first, started after the ben with an old familiar weapon. The moral of which is: Stick to the broom st ick.-Providence Herald. MENINGITIS-POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS. We regret to record that this Tearful dis? enso is still doing its work of death in certain sections of this County. Quite a number have died since our last issue, and it is said that not one in five recover. Tho attack is sudden, and but a few hours iuterveue ero tho victim attacked censen to live. It is not a littlo remark? able that it is ooufiued entirely to the colored population, not u siugie white person, so far as we have heard of, being affected ; und this fact hus excited the superstition of ibo plantation negroes to a considerable extent. One of tho popu? lar ideas is that the spring at Bush Uiver Church has boeu poisoned, although those who have not yot drank of tho water are stricken down; another is that there uro witches about, casting spells on them; and still another, that tho meat which is imported to this placo lins been all poisoned. Tb ero may lie other super? stitious which we have not heard of yet. These superstitions and suspicious are sad enough; they will prod nco grouter distrust and fear, which latter must act as a suction not ut all friendly toa better sanitary condition. It is a puiuful eoin meulary, and wu charge those of their people ami leaders, who have heart aud intelligence, to mako no delay in disa? busing their minds of thoughts so dread? ful in their tendency.
