THE PHCENIX, Published Daily and Tri-Weekly, fm GLEANER, Every Wednesday Morning, BY JULIAN A. SELBY. Editor and Proprietor, Office No. 160 North Richardson St. _23-The Phienix is the oldest Daily Paper in South Carolina, has the largest circulation in tho upper portion of the State, and has been regularly issued since its inception?March 21, 18G5. srnscnirTioN.

As there is a general curiosity to know the amount of fees paid to tho lawyers in the Beecher-Tilton case, we give them as we find them set down in a Northern exchange, viz: Mr. Evarts received S25, 000; Mr. Tracy, $10,000; Mr. Hill, S5.000; Mr. Beach, $5,000; Fullerton, $2,500; Mr. Morris, $2,500. and Mr. Pryor, $2,500. Mr. Shearman refused to accept money for his services. Feathers are shooting out all over the toilettes, the fashion gossips say. Fea? ther fans, feather parasolB and feather hats are all the go. Feather trimmings are now arranged with so much lightness and beauty, that they are considered as suitable for summer as winter wear. They are mounted as fringe as well as bands, though as bands they are used for the trimming of bonnets and parasols. Fines are fines-in the Grand Duchy oj Posen. Ono was imposed on the news? paper Kuryer 1'oznanski, whereupon the editor opened a subscription to oppose to the penalty a popular demonstration. All the subscription money was confis? cated and an additional fine of -150 marks was imposed by this attempf to avoid the proper operation of the penalty. It looks as if somebody is starting a newspaper every day. Tho fact that hundreds of men who have worked in a journalist's harness all their lives would go out and commit suicide if it were not for the demnition uncertainty of such a course, doesn't seem to have the slightest effect on beginners. BAbout forty percent, of the population of the United States is engaged in agri? cultural pursuits, a number one-half greater than is ranked in any other pro? fession.
