THAT FISHING FROLIC. A Jolly excursion party boarded a special conch at this place on Monday last, 14th inst., bound for Port Royal, where they proposed to camp for several days and in dulge in that recreation which Dr. Boteler describes as tho most calm, quiet and Innocent, God over made -angling, it is doubtful however if this calm and quiet view would have been expressed if Dr. Boteler had benn a member of this partic ular fishing party. The veliant crew who venta.ed 208 miles from home on this expedition, consisted of A, W. Anderson, C. W. Tune, M. ir. Fowler, A. it. Fleming, J. A. j Copeland, O. H. Simmons, Oswald Richardson, J. D. Adams, A. C. Dillard, John IL DeShiebls, Tims. Hay, Dr. 15. E. Martin, with his three little boys, Dugnr, Karlo and Hen and J. C. Carlington. Hill Ho mar, colored acting porter. This party was Increased to nineteen by the addition of Jos. T. Simmons and -Montgomery, of G roon wood. Hitched to tim passenger train, at .'ir* miles to thc hour, we dash ed along that road which is familiar to most persona in Ibis sec tion to Augusta, with ao incident of special Interest, except tho lam entations of some man who had ventured to ?nit his head out of the window w ithout thc precaution of holding on to his hat. Reaching Augusta, nt near ll o'clock in tin; night, a special train was made up by that most clever and aecomoda ting ol all railroads, the Central, wu pulled through to Port Royal without a dolay,'! reaching thc de pot at 10:30 a, m., Tuesday. if it bo true that occupations are crowded as many mou believe who ure engaged lu (business, whntnn inviting Hold ls Port Royal fcc young men! Haifa do/.cn stores, which have n fair exterior, with half Ulled shelves and invariably a saloon ?ri th* rear. This dilapidated old town Is a standing example of what a railroad eau do towards pulling down a thriving city in a very few years. Having provided ourselves with provisions fora three days journey, with tho necessary cooking uten sil, and a cook, wo hoarded two splendid little sail boats, Hm "Yum Yum," which was kindly tendered the part y by Capt Hubert Jenkins, who also accompanied us on our voyage to Hay Point, twelve miles from Fort Royal, on St. Helena Is lam). Capt Jenkins, and bis broth er John Jenkins with half a dozen of tho party occupied this bond, and started out bravely on a smooth sea. 1 [alf an hour later thc "Mayflower," Which is to may of us as memora ble as her snintod mother, who landed the Puritans on Plymouth Rock launched forth in the seething water. Tho gently flowing waves bore us slowly ulong, but having scarcely n trace of wind tho pro gress was almost ?imperceptible. Thc boat left tin; dock at 8:80 p. m. and after bair hours the Captain in formed us we were two miles from Fort Royal. It was evident that unless tho wind ^should risc, wc must spend ono night upon tho wa ter. As wc stood on deck ami wit nessed the lasl rays of thc setting sun, a finding of utter loneliness seemed to creep over tim party, and now and thou some one on bead would suggest a return to Fort Royal. At length the wind ?lied away completely, and the talc being against us, at 9 o'clock WO wore compelled to drop anchor for the night. The "Y'um Yum" being a lighter boat bad steadily gullied on us, ami was now completely hidden from view. A lantern was hoisted us a signal from our boat, Which was caught by the "Y'um Yum" who sent out a courier to us, which raised thu drooping spirits of our crew several degrees, At nine o'clock at night thc scene was grand,-more wild und waste and desolate, never rose before ti party so 111,-nccustomed to tho bring deep- W Ii i le one of thc par ty rocked ia tho cradle of the deep, had fallen into the arms of Mor pheus, another was raising a strong protest against a mariners life, ami a thin} declared that in thirty min utes be would shu fl] o oft*those mor tal colls; ami yet a fourth and fif ty invoiced the speedy aid of a dis ciple of thoplll-boxj while a sixth, Wno sat mute and witti extended arms as if endeavoring to break tho fury of tho surging waves, af terwards declared that ho was all ?ho offering such prayers as must have battered thc gates of Heaven. It was agreed by all on board that it wits a long time between meals. With the llrst dawn of morning, our dusky captain, wllO30 lingo was scarcely intelligible, made signs of hoisting sails, ami with a wild mad dash the faithful "Mayflower" sped onward in her course. The tide was once more with us and tho wind, Which was now nearing a gale, moro favorable, so that wo had an entirely new experience. Onward we rushed,-now riding on tho crest of a foaming White cap, now hidden in thc yawning gap it left, so that in less than an hour and a half we lumbal on thc sea girt iles, Ht Helena. The dolay occasioned by the calm on the one hand, ami the ex ercise afforded by the blow which followed, conspired to produce a set of hungry men, so that fat ba ron mid corn bread was to many the heat hrcnkfnst of a lifetime1. Breakfast over, we sot to work lu earnest, and caught a goodly sup ply of Ano fish. Hero wo lingered for a day and a half, having found quarters in a number of comforta ble cabins. Thc air was pure and bracing. Not a Hy or mosquito dar ed disturb tho slumber which'was lcd on by tho Hound of (he gurgling waves Just a few feet lu front of our dumb il. Tho hours passed in strolling over tho isle, which at that time contain ed but a solitary COU plo I In fishing, gathering shells and shooting hut never hitting tho numerous birds which occasionally rested on thu beach. On tho morning of tho second day all hands and tho cook went a flshlng, and after a roynl breakfast and dinner combined wo once moro .prend salle and headed homeward. Both tide nod wind hoing favora blt?, it was n delightful Kail of ono hour and forty minutes, and weare constrained to holievo that many of the pledges and promises brought out by tho Atorm, woro forgotten; but ono man insisted that nothing hut a family at homo, could liavo induced him to step from Hay Point upon tiie "Mayflower." Ono hour later found us ahoad our couch, bound for Yemassec, a station .it", udlcs from Port Royal. Wo had determined now to test tho merits of fresh water Ashing by trying tho flah of tho Bulkehutchlo Uiver. As wc pulled up to the de pot at Ycmassec, tho Kngineer Conductor and train hands were engaged lu a baud to hand light with a highland moccasin, while passengers in the rear coach amus ed themselves watching the mano uvres of a school of water-mocca sins in a pond bard by. Wo wen? side trucked and a par ty of which tho writer was a mem ber, shouldered arms, and declared war on Alligators. We had gmo fi ft v foot, when tho w ri tor discharg ed a load of buck shot into the lu ad of a klug snake and thc quick report of another gun brought low a Coach Whip and In six inches of his head was a Black Snnko of un common dimensions, Darkness be gan to gather and put an end to our hunt for Alligators. After finding that tho fishing grounds lay seven and a half miles from the depot, and no conveyance could be had, we determined to leave tim scaly inhabitants of the Bulkehutchlo to the teodor mercies of n party of Augustinian who were encamped ou its bank. Nothing of Interest happened un til we roached Augusta, Thor? we remained half a ?lay, ami started once more in tho direction of home, having our coach hitched behind two heavily loaded freight boxes, and two Huts of lumber, and in front of sovon passenger coaches which contained an excursion par ty from Bradley, When wo had gone .about H milos from Augusta, a freight car jumped the track, and tho train wits Stopped within thirty teet of a trestle, which was at least 50 feel high ?ind 200 yards long. The freight box was badly shattered, but was bitched on, and thus it was with many doubts and fears we crossed the Savannah Uiver. There it was side-tracked and our jour ney home was speedy ami pleasant arriving ?it Laurens at ll o'clock p. m. Boforo roaching the depot a meeting wita call atula resolution passed unanimously that tho thanks nf the entire party bc t< ti llered the Hort Hoya I and Western Carolina Hallway Management for their kindness lind many courtesies shown us. Also to Capt Jenkins who aided so materially in making nar trip pleat ant from Hort Royal. When it is known that the railroad ran throe extra trains for our bene fit, in order to prevent delays, ag' gregating nearly two hundred miles of extra running, the great big heart'of this corporation is seen. Resolutions were also passed in favor of repeat log the trip next year, but two of tho party put in "Excuse mo." J. C. <;.

While, the head inen aro gathered In n little knot, planning out tho work, tho Others ure dispersed over tho plain in overy direction, racing, breaking rough ? horses, or simply larking with ono an other. If n mun has an especially had horse, ho usually takes such an opportu nity, when ho has plenty of time, to rido him; and while saddling he iii surrounded by a crowd of most unsympathetic asso ciates, who greet with uproarious mirth any misadventure. A man on a bucking horse is always considered fair game, every squeal and jump of tho bronco ticing hailed with cheers of delighted irony for tho rider and shouts to "stay with him." Tlic antics of ft vicious bronco nhow in finite! variety of detail, but all nro mod eled on ono general plan. When tho rope Bettles round ids neck tho fight bo gins, and it is only after much plunging and snorting that a twist is taken over bia nose, or else ft hackamorc-a species of severe halter, usually made of plaited hair, slipped on his head. While being bridled be strikes viciously with his foro feet, and perhaps has to l>o blindfolded or thrown down; and to get tho saddle on him is quite aa dillie ult. When sad dled, ho may get rill of his exulierant upolu by bucking under tho saddle, or moy reservo all bbl onorglos for tho rider. In tho Last caso, tho man, keeping tight hold with Ida left hand of tho cheek strap, so ns to provont tho horse from potting his head down until he Is fairly seated, swings himself quickly Into tho saddle. Up rlsc9 tho bronco's back Into an arch; his head, tho cars laid straight back, goos down between his foro feet, mid. squealing savagely, ho makes o suc cession of rapid, stiif legged, jarring bounds.
