The Glorious Fourth.
The hundred and first birthday of
the United States v-~s variously ob
served. TIho excursion train wvhich
passed1 over the CJharlo tto, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad on its way to
Angusta, on the evening of the
third, was patroniz.ed to a considora
ble0 extent. The larger portion of
the excursionists got on bolowv Co
lumibia, and qnito a crowvd poured
into the streets of Augusta in the
still air of t~he morning of the
Fourth. The weather was intensely
warm, but the visitors mnanaged to
put 'through the (lay successfully in
seeing the sights. Summorville and
the comotory were favori to resorts.
During the day a match ga~mo of
baso5 ball was played botwveen the
"Carolinas" of Charleston, and the
"Georgias" of Savannah,, thn former
wvinhling by a score of 13 to 6. A
fire engine was brought out for
practice, and the nozzlemoeu amused
themselves by turning the two
streams against each other. The
watery combat ha sted several mnin,.
utes, two or three contestants being
imocknd dnwn by Vh@ st.e.-t a.
no boing Partially denuded of his
hirt. .Tn such amusements was the
lay spent. All hands were pipod
n board at -eight o'clock that even-,
ng,,and tho excursionists returned
iome safely. No accidents are ro
)O1'tOl.
An oxcursion train for colored
)eo)lo passed Winnsboro on
is way to Columbia on the
norning of tho Fourth. It was
ammed, and at number of pleas
ire-seekers were unable to secure
)laces on the cars. This train ro
urned on Thursday morning. The
olored band from W.innsboro
)oarded the train on Tuesday and
vent up to Charlotte, then down to
Jolumubia and back again, furnishing
nusic for the occasion.
'Tle (lay was quietly observed in
Winnsboro, only one or two places
)f business were open, and the chief
lesire of all appeared to be to keep
rool. One man was heard to say
'Hang the Fourth," while another
Vas apparent'ly inclined to felicitate
iimnself on the fact that his ancestors
yere tories. As a general thing.
owever, the people were patriotic,
o the extent at least of making a
ioliduy of the day.
Thus passed the Fourth.
Too-Ia-loQ.
All day long in Ciarleston on the
Fourth the Battery and White Point
Darden were thronged by colored
,elebrants, the number reaching
several thousand. The chief amuse
nont of the day was Too.-la-loo, a
low song and dance of Ethiopic
)rigin. The reporter of the Journal
j' Commncrce found time in the
ntervals betweon munching peanuts
md chcwing taffoy to give the fol
Iowing description of this torpsicho
rean display. Ho says :
This performance is a somewhat
peculiar one, consisting of singing,
lancing, walks around, and kissing.
A dozen dusky damsels and their
iwaius form a circle ; a leader is
Ahosen, who sings the song, while the
rest join .in the refrain, .keepiug time
b)y clapping their hands. A miss
tLheni gets into the centre of the
birelo, and waltzes around while the
thera sing as follows:
Lady in do garden,
Too la loo
Lady in do garden,
Too la loo ;
Lady in do garden,
Too la loo ;
Oh I love, too la loo.
Then the damsel performs a pas
hiscul" while the others keep time
Berry nice motion,
Too la beo;
Nice little lady motion,
Too la lo;
Oh ! dat's a nice little motion
Too la loo ;
Oh ! I love, too la loo.
There is now a paus~e to give the
miss a breathing spell. This ende~d,
heo.song is resumed, the circle sing
ng :
Go choose you a lover,
Too la lo;
Nice little lover,
Too Ia lo;
Handsome lover,
Too la lo;
Oh ! I love, too la loo.
Obeying this hint the lady waltzes
round the circle, selects her swain,
nud the twain resume the dance,
~he circle singing:
Kiss your lover,
Too la lo;
Dat berry sweet lover,
Too la lo;
Kiss your lover,
Too la laoo
Oh ! I love,. too Ia boo.
At this point the osculatory ,por..
Formnance takes p~lace, the lady -kisses
her lover, blushes, and'rotiros to the
uter circle, wyhile the "berry sweet
[ovei" goes through the same dance
lo ,Tlus refrain:
,Gentleman motion,
Too la lo.;
Berry nice motion,
Too Ia Jooe;
But he's -a bull-frog motion,
Troo la boo ,
Oh I I love, too la loQ.
Then the gentleman goes through
;he process described above, chooses
is lover, waltzes with her, kisses
ior and retires to leave the lady to
-epoat the programme. This was
mcasionally varied by tho following
rerse by way of interlude and in
>rder to give a breathing ispell to
he performers:
Aunt Betsy dead?1
Yes ma'm.
E:owv long been deadi
So long,
Been to de funral ?
.BtyYes ma'm.
.Aunt.ev Ana nd1gona
To say tlat the day -was :thor
oughly enjoyed by the colored peo
plo, would be to give a very faint
idea of the zest into which they on
tered into the sports. There were
no disturbances to -mar the festivi
ties, and the police had very -little
work :to do.
