Jt watches its Democ ratic contemporaries like some ill omened bird with sepulchral notes; J nud when they leave an opening for i attack, pounces upon them with as little remorse of conscience as ouo would experience for shooting a mad dog. Wc can't understand it. The iVctc.i and Courier advocates that South Carolina bo represented at the Centennial. Our contemporary is on the right track this time, and if its church does not interfere with its calculations, we may look forward to the columns of the News and Courier for n lively description of tho ouo hundredth Anniversary of the Dcc la'rati on of A mcricun Inependcncc. We regret to announce that Mr. Thos. Alexander breathed his last, at his home in this place, on Tuesday ovening of this week. His closing hours evinced that calm resignation to the will of God which character izes only the death bed of those who can look beyond, and feel that in death they arc only exchanging the corruptible for the incorruptible, the mortal for the immortal. We are pleased to announce that I Mr. C. D. Blume, who has been con fined to his room in this place hy?u severe spoil of sickness, is on the mend. His friends indulge the hope that he will soon bo nll.riglit und in the enjoyment of his. wonted health. \Vc congratulate "Mr. Jlluihe that dur-i ing his illness ho was the guest of a house whoso host and hostess are deservedly noted for their many ac commodations to boarders. Mr. John H. Livingston . has the contract for bricking in the immense store of Gco. H. Cornelsoii. Mr. C. design's making this improvement upon his property not oul} to protect it from fire, but to keep abreast also with the progressive spirit of Orange] burg. lie proposes to have seventy feet of his store from the front changed from one to two stories. We congratulate hi in upon securing so worthy a contractor as Mr. Living ston. Senator Cochran, of Anderson, has written a long letter to several He publican members of the Legislature, suggesting various reform measures, which he urges the General Assembly to adopt. Sonic of his ideas aro prac tical and wise; but viewing hU letter as a whole, it shows a considerable desiro on- his part to get into State politics. However, let us havcall the Reform wc can get, no matter through what channel it comes. ./. WALLACE CANNOS? This gentleman-* is still upon the land of the living, and although Mrs. Grundy insists that he should get married, and quit running about to enmp meetings, ho remains un changed in his devotion to single blessedness. Right, friend. Keep thoso shining locks of yours from the clutch es of a scolding wife; continue to sup ply tho wants of your numerous cus tomers; sell them dry goods, groceries, tobacco, cigars and liquors, as you al ways havo done, at living price*, and the wholo county will bless you. But let us stop. "Wo only meant to say that Wallace Cannon's storo is the place to spend money and get valuo received. Rill Sain is there nud is ns smiling as a basket of chips.

Wallace promises to run it rain or shine, and will go to any part of the city for passengers desiring to take the train. All orders for the bus must be left nt bis store. As our friend knows no Mich word, as fail we predict that he will see to it that no passengers arc left hereafter? that is, unless Cupid should make him forgetful. - The lappel of ihis coat had quite a roseate appearance on Wed nesday last. Can any one say of hihi rem, vidi, vici? ' On Wednesday morning last while conversing with several gentlemen who were reviewing Mayor Bolivar's "chain gang," the sudden cracking of a whip, accompanied by curses from a sonorous voice, attracted our atten tion. "We turned our eyes at once in the direction ol the noise, and beheld an old red cow coming up Kussel street, with a bundle of fodder in her mouth, and a man behind her crying out at the top of his breath, "Drop those blades, you confounded old hussy, you." But the cow in ques tion didn't heed hor pursuer's demand worth a cent. The more he cracked his whip the tighter that cow made her hohl : on that bundle of fodder. Finally our rural visitor concluded that her thiefship had two legs the lietter of him, and that his chase was useless; so he retraced his steps to his wagon, and, with a forlorn look, said, "It's a good thing I didn't get her by the tail. I'm the devil when I get a hold there." Two of Oraugchurg's brightest larks left this place several days ago for the purpose of visiting a spot near Lewisvillc. After they bad trans acted? their busiuoss, one of them sug gested to .the other, that they call by and sec Intendant Hook, and Tin' | manner of conducting municipal affairs. The suggestion was carried out, Lewisvillc was visited, a few cocktails were taken, and late in the afternoon our two wanderers started for Orangeburg, as they thought, but which they really did not do. After traveling some twenty miles or more, they began to desepver that they were in a strange vicinity. A "halt'was agreed upon and inquiries as to their whereabouts at oiice institutcdj which revealed to these explorers of our county that they were within sixteen miles of Columbia. "Good gracious I" said one of them, "let's go back in a hurry, and the first man who laughs at us about this mistake, I swear to put a bend on him." The young men arrived homo in the night, but none of their friends have yet asked them how far it is from Lewisvillc to Columbia. BELL BO YD? rf This female made her appearance at Elliott Hall on Monday and Tuesday nights of this week, iu the role of a locturess. Prompted by curiosity we went out to hear her the first of these evenings, but were somewhat disap pointed us wo confidently expected that a large audience would greet one who had been so.cxtonsively advertised during tbo day by a bell and a rc'i flag. But our people didn't seem to take tbo bait worth a cent, and when night came only about twenty-five boys and men put in nu appearance. Miss Boyd's lecture was more about politics and radicals, (which latter seoinod to stick in her craw), than herself and her exploits as a Confede rate spy. She said she hated tbo rads and abhorred tho word union; but if some young man were to come along with his pockets lined with tho need ful, sho^might consider tho propriety of changing her mind in respect to tho latter; that the colored people were not radicals,?thty were simply niggers, and she would like to bang thcnl nil along with their white friends ; thnt no nigger had ever yet dared to ride in the same car that sho occupied, and that it' ovor one regis tered at fcbo same hotel with herself, tho next placo he would register would be in hell !?JlhnJ)] she had fought for compliments' and she in tended to have them'; I that if wo ?aid anything about her in any other than a complimentary manner, ? that sho would come back, hero and either shout or cowhide us. [N. B. W,o have had a special marshal detailed by the Mayor to guard us, and havo tho promiso of a Trial Justice to ho ready with his peaco bonds]. That she meant what she said she gave us to understand that she had but recently cowhided an ?Atlanta-, editor for calling her an im postor. Will our friends of the 7/cr ttht and Constitution give us somo light upon this subject ? But as the severest criticism upon some women is to record what they themselves sn}r, wc shall content ou>* selves with the above epitome of her lecture. mm i mm*-?
