na.
In the year 1880, three printers arrived in
Charleston Induced thereto by an encourage
ment held out by the Assembly Of the Province
or by the Governor in Council. These printers
were Thomas Whitmarsh, Eleazer Phillips,
Eleazer Philips Jr. We huve indications that a,
least one press was put to work, during the year
1880 or early in he ensuing year from the publ.
ton of several pamphlets. and from references
contained in the South Carolina Gazette the
first number Of which appeared on the 9Th
JAN, 1892, under. direction ofthe printer first
named sbove. The first number was issued from

after located aud continued for some time.
Eleazer Philips, Jr. died early in July, 1882,
and we find his father nearly two years after,
advertising in the Gazetts for a settlement oil
all debts due himself or the estate Of his son,
tor news, printing. &c-Special mention is
made of subscriptions due the deceased son
for six months OF the South Carolina Weekly
Journal-a name with does not appear in any
of our earlier records of the press, and Of which
we have found no other trace. Was there such
a new sraper published by Phillips during the
first six months of 1892 II 80, it was cnn
temporary with the Gazette, which has been
commonly regarded as not only first in, time,
but for mary years the only newspaper issue
of the city or province. The fact Of three
printers arriving nearly at the same time, lends
additional probability to the suppnstion to
which we are induced on the authority of thu
advertisement.

REMEMBRANCE.

BT CLAIRE.
Reuemberance' the golden chain
That binds Us to the past,
When other pleasures fade away
Its gentle links still last
It is the net that throws charm,
On all we've once loved we'll;
And gathers round the heart again,
Many joyous spell.
It comes upon US as dream,
Oft beautiful and bright;
And bathes the spirit as it wore,
In soft and holy light.
II is the fount from whence We drink
Sweet thoughts Of dear ones gone;
It gives the heart again those ties.
1t early learned to mourn.
With silken thread it leads us back
TO childhoods sunny hours,
Wher. pleasure waited on our path,
And strew'd our way with flowers.
And, happy It's to linger thore,
Mid rainbows tints ofyouth.
Ere dark ming clouds or sorrow rose,
To mar our faith and truth.

The gipsies have stolen $1,000 from an old
mannamed Pearse, Of Limerick, Maine. They
made him believe that $4,000 WAS buried in Il
Dot on his farms and persuaded him to get the
$1,000 together, and deposit it in small trunk
to remain in his possession six days while
they were working the charm to find out the
SPOT where the $4,000 was hidden. Som af
terward the gipsy woman returned, and &C
cused the elderly greeuhorn Of opening the
trunk, thereby defeating ''the charm" He
confessed he had done so, and that the gipsy
woman counted the money again, and took
the key, leaving the trunk and money, as be
thought, with M. Pesrse, but at the expiration
Of the six days be found that the charm had
worked SO potently that neither the money nor
the gipsies could be found.

A GREEK ROBIN Hnou. The French papers
have the following romantic account Of The
manner in which that vicinity Of Adrauople has
been rid Of some Troublesome robbers.
The house of widow residing there was
entered and robbed of valubles amounting to
seven thousand piastres, her only wealth, by
seven men, who said they were members Of the
band Of Yaui, celebrated chief, who has gained
great renown in those parts and the poor woman
used his name in making her complaint. This
parsonage is sort Of Fra Diavoln who seems to
have modelled himself after the brigand heroes OF
ron,r.es. He is Bulgarin BY birth and robs
no one but rich Turks, whom he hates, and has
been known frequently to give the proceeds of
such an expedition to any poor person he might
meet. Hegoes and comes in the villages where
he is well received and treated like a lord. 1t
must be said that the rustic police are not much
protection, for :hey are too often connected with
the band themselves. This NJ. Yani goes through
the c.antry robbing the rich, befriending the
poor, protecting the widow and orphan, and
even watching over the magistrates to see that
Justice is meted to the rich and puor alike.
Now, Yani, learned that he had been
implicated in the robbery, and fully equipped
paid the lady visit Trembling, the p"or
woman begged him leave her the little that
remained.
"But have never taken anything from you"
said the brigand.
"Are you moi then Yani?' said she.
IL am most certainly Yani, and ] come to
obtain the description ofthose who have abused
my name and robbed you.

A FASHIONABLE BELLE Az SARAToeA.--
Saratoga is magnet, drawing with magic for.
ce thousands from every part. Some come
here to contemplate, to reverie, and to write;
others to grasp chance in the 10 ttery of life;
while Others are here to admire and be admir-
ed. Time is wasted in dissipation, and-the
study is how to dipose oft. Let US see how
aflShionsble belle passes the day.

ing robes and arrange her eoifeure, then she
perhaps goes to the Springs and drinks mineral
water tumbler after tumbler, till it is mpossi.
die to swallow more-it is her ambition to
have drank morn than her neighbor; then she
returns TO breakfast, and satisfies her delicate
appetite BY eating a. half broiled chicken,
small beefsteak, an omlet some milk toast, rolls
and coffee; and then she is ready to make
conquest Of the first mechanical body that wears
vest. Then she rolls ten pins for an hour, in
order to give her self color; then returns home
to dress for dinner: two hours are generally
taken fnr this; at the sound ofthe bell or the
gong, she sails In her dry goods into the dining
hall. The greater the expense of dress, the
greater the style, the farther it drags behind.
| the more you must admire her taste. When,
she is seated she casts heI eyes up and down
the tabl. to see the effect she has produced,
then calmly prepares to do justice to the mate
rals before her.
Fashionable bellies are always fine epicures;
they can instantly detect the difference between
tame or a wild duck. One hour and q half
is spent in dinner, and then for 4 promenade
and an arrangement into couples. Then is the
time when all will pass under observation;
every false diamond will be detected; no bache.

not; ruuged faced viii! be scanned till the

cial; an unnatural tooth, glass eye, wooden
leg, blind people, lame deople, red headed
people, padded people. Tenpenny calicos can.
not pass muster as silks, and imitation lace
must be put down. You must run the gauntlet
and every flaw will cape and spread itself, and
become large in your own eyes. If yon have
been discovered sitting in a corner with
companion, especially if you have been whisper
ing low, you will be surely pointed at The
bees-Saratogs belles rule-here, and you
must submit to custom without complaint.
The belle now takes her tea, and then she enters
the ball room, and between Irritation and dane
ing. she passes through the day and evening.
This is the routine of life, admirably adapted
to dpspeptic constitutions.

Refusing to Divide Time.

JAMES NJ. DAVIDSON, Esq, of Lincoln, was
announced to speak in defense of the Andrew
johnson Democracy last night. Mr.. Da-
wilson, Familiarity known as the Irish orator, y
is a gentleman of decided ability, and is as
capable as any of their party, to make good
defense of lis claims 10 the public confidence
Yet, the privilege of replying was solicited in
behalf of Col PICKETT, by his friends, and re-
fused by the friends Of Mr.. Davidson.
1t seems from this and a similar refusal
at Port Royal the other day, that our oPpo-
nents 1.-The managers among them-are afraid
of full and fair discussion. But the people
will hear both Sides We suppose that after
this, our opponents, of course, will not pretend
to complain, or think it the least out Of order, if
our american" friends appropriate the time
according to their own convenience, at sp.
pontments for speakers of the American
party.
