smiled, and said he was happy tu see me;
nskcd how long I'D bin in town, and hop.
ed my visit had been agreeable: and ,hat's $
what Gull tho way tn receive stranger:
not stare ut him, and corf continually, aud
look as pompous hen with spcckled
chicken.
lncvcr spent a more agreeable haf
hour, in my life, ,hantll was; and when
| cum away, war'nt surprised nt the i'm.
5mcnse popularity of the man. I've seen
a good menny otIishais in my time; but
none that cum up TO my notion like he did.
IS must tell you sumihing about The
Charleston women. I've met good men.
ny in cumpnny, and STARVATION sight in
the stretes. Tho way they turn out Of
IN afternoon, in carriages and foot, in
Kings street and ut the Battery, is aIarn,in
to all bachelors. The Charleston women
is generally slender and dark Completed;
black eyes and hair aint uncommon; but
small feet is their karakteristic. I've
seen sum Of The purtitst little boots in the
world, scnce cum here. Alter all, q
woman's undcrstamiin is her principle
lecture, and they have it tu perfection.
I've bin struck, in walkin about the
streets, with the great contrast in the dress
of northern and southern women. Here,
they dress as if they were all ngoin II, u
funeral; there, as if they were hurryin tu
a dance. There is way to dress in
black so rs to make it the most bccornin
of nil colors; and that is til relieve II
purity considerable with white. Take
il altogether, they dress moro IA my
notion here, than in any place I've bin;
and Ahat's sayin good deal. Ifthere's
anything hate pertickerlerly, II is III see
ha good lookin woman puckered and aoun.
cod tn death. with a bonnet no bigger than
fa pint cup, and that sot SO fur back, that
its an everlastin puzzle tn know how II
stays on at all.
Beauty when unndornet, is adorned
the most, !" says the poet, and he is rite;
for know: one instance certain.
But it's most dinner time; and as got
