The Tableaux illustrative of the poem. Tha Dream of Fair Women, extracts from which were read by Miss Moi se, were qui?e beautiful ; the pantomime was very amusing ; the charade "Drama-tick," was well rendered, ?od the actors were repeatedly complimented with bouquets.

On h?st Thursday A ttorney-General Earle and Mr. H. R. Thomas, of Wedge?eld, had a dispute over an article which the latter had Written and published in the Sumter Advance. After some words Col. Earle calied Mr. Thomas a liar aod Mr. Thomas returned the compliment by calliog Attorney-General ?arle a liar, whereupon Col- Earle struck Mr. Thomas. Both of the parties were arrested snd security was put up for their, appearance at the Mayor's Court. A; the trial the next morning Col. Earle admitted that he was the aggressor in the affair, and that under the municipal law there was co case again3t Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas was discharged and Col. Earle Seed $25. The little anpleasaatoess between Attorney General Earle and Mr. H. R. Thomas has alarmed the News and (kurier to such an ex tent as to insist upon having "the parties to the qearrel bound over to keep the peace voder heavy penalises and to guard against further violence." The p?r?."v? of imminent danger and bloodshed is heiu'itened by our contemporary in this fashion; ''Remember the c?rcottst?tnces tha$ lead to the deplorable t'eath of Justice Haynsworb, and avert re newed conflict, if possible, by every oceans." *<fow this bit of warning is simply ridiculous j and the Hews and Courier know* it. bat it i happens to suit its purpose most admirably in | this case, inasmuch as A r.. -nor-d^j^^i.

Mr. Editor: It was my pleasant privilege on Friday evening, the ?nd instant, to attend a meeting of the Mt^ Zion Literary Society held at the home of Ml. Ziou's beloved and genial pastor, R?v. W. S. Bean. The exer cises of the evening, consisting of an essay from Miss Adele Wilson, declamations from Messrs. Jas. S. Corbett, T. R E. LaCcste and Paul D. Wilson, were highly entertain ing and most pleasing to the Society. At the conclusion of the exercises of the evening the Society adjourned to meet again the last Friday eveoine in June, 1889. For three years thi3 Society has glided peaceful!7 along, developing in many if not all of its members rare literary talent and lso binding its members into a closer union f friendship, which we trust shall ever con inue. And now since the Society has gone in ors for the winter months, let not that ly interest that each member bas ever inced in the Society fag ; but may the vaca only be a respite, which time will be ed to gather renewed courage for further provemeots. Visitor. The Mystery of a Hansom Cab," is com* ced in this week's paper. Read it.* From iki<QharUstvn. W?rld, Nov. !>. Cajjitain' Wiili?m Blandina. In oar.issue of yesterday*, the death of this most worthy chiseu. was announced, as oc curring atSatf'Francfeeo on 26th October last',, in his 71st year. Captain Binding was the eldest son, we think, of Mr. Abraham Blanding, who was a native of Massachusetts, and graduated from Brown. University at Providence, R. I., in .1796. He was induced to settle in South Carolina, by David R. Williams, his room* mate, afterwards Governor, and came to re side in Columbia in 1797 ; "subsequently re moved to Camden, and represented Kerehaw County in the General Assembly for a number of years, aud was prominent in the internal improvement schemes in this State between 1817 and 1828, with Mr. Poinsett, as mem bers of ' the board of Public works;" and subsequently was one of the projectors of the "Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail road." Captain Blauding's mother was a daughter of Chancellor DeSaussure, and he grew up in the environment of Federalist politics, which largely influenced his public fife afterwards. He was admitted to the bar and entered npon the practice of his profession in Ibis city, with every promise of a successful ca reer, but in 1846 be was called to the com mand of the Charleston Volunteers, in the Palmetto Regiment, and marched at the head of bis company from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, participating in all the decisive bat tles, which have made illustrious the brilliant campaign of General Scott, who, with 8,000 muskets, invaded that country and captured its capital. Upon hi? return from Mexico, he received the highest public recognition and distin guished honors from bis native State and city, and also from the Washington Light Infantry,-of which he had been a commis sioned officer before, and was con tinned dur ing his absencoin Mexico and after his return home. Resuming the practice of bis profession in Charleston he subsequently married Miss Gordon, of this city, and finally removed to California in 1855, where he has since resided. Captain^ Blanding was a citizen of high character and represented in bis day, what is sometimes referred to now, disparagingly, as the "anden regime ;M but it has very often happened, and will doubtless happen again, that in public emergencies, the meat blatant uh'? popular, are overlooked, and the call to duty is made on those who stand for high character, and its accompaniment, high citi zenship Captain Blanding was retiring in his man "sers, and to some extent reserved, but f?t all points of his life, he was a public-spirited and high-?smJted citizen, using his influence for what be thought right, rather than shaping it to the more popular course of expediency ; and in illustration of what we have said, we fef?r to 'the incident of his prompt response to the call to arms in 1846. It was a high and noble act, to give up the refinements aod attractions of borne, and social life, for the hardships and per?s of war in a foreign laud. For thirty-three years Captain Binding has been a continuous resident of San Fran cisco, visiting his native city only once, in 1886. It follows, therefore, that few if any,) of the present generation have had personal acquaintance or intercourse with our former townsman. %x?\ *bere will remaiu many who will recall the past and him now gone before, and will approve of our inscribing to his memory, what was said of bis father nearly ba?f a cantu'ry ago ; "a name, which carries with it, recollection of the person of an able lawyer, a "virtuous man, an ardent citizen, in whatever would advance his chantry's inter est. In all the relations of life, public and private, h? is entitled to have said, "well done good and faithful servant." Captain ^landing leaves a widow, several children and a large circle of relatives and friends in South. Carolina and California to revere his memory.
