The CoLuMRIA PHGSlx.-Our paper is now
the only daily paper published in the whole
State There are probably not more than eight
journals of any sort issued within the limits of-
South Car olina. Our readers will have seen
that We are gradually etfecting Improvements
in our little sheet. They may take for granted
that We will continue still to- improve as fast as
opportunity will allow. But it is the day of
small things and we cannot move by will, but
the winds will In little while, it is our
hope to enlarge our sheet, andSafford more
variety. and exhibit more elaborate results.
Our difficulty lies chiefly in the article of
paper. This, in the present condition of our
mills, is not to be obtained, either in such 1uan-
tity or such quality rs we desire. But, let our
pleasant public wait upon US. We trust that
we have shown already, from our first petty
beginning that have the will, and need
only the means, to expand the wings of our
Ph@ni1, and to cxalt her flight, so that nora
shall fail to be gladdencd by her ascent into Is

The fashion of wearing long narrow
ribbons around the neck has become
very popular among the ladies'; aud we
are not surprised, now that we know
the significance of it. When the ends
OF the ribbons are worn in front it indi.
Gates that the lady is married, and. Of
course, a happy wife. When the ends
are worn on the back, it means that
the fair damsel has an attentive "lov.
yer" but that she is not engaged.
When they are worn over the left
shoulder, it is an invitation to young
gentlemen to call in at pas home. And
when none are worn at all, it's consid-
cred sure thing the lady is engaged,
or don't care to see tho " fcllers."

Attempted Suicide.

David Evans, q harness maker at
Waverly, cut his throat on Wednes-
day Day Of last week, inficting horrible
wound and nearly severing the wind
pipe, but failing to cut the large artc-
ries. He is still alive, but it is hardly
possible for him to recover. The Wa
verify physicians happening to be ab-
sent at the time, DIR. Smith of this
town, being in Waverly, was called
to dress the wound and has been in
constant attendance upon the patient
for several days since. Various rea-
sons are assigned for the commission
of the rash act One, that a young
lady to whom he had been paying at
tention had mittened !" him. Anoth-
er, that he was in some way concern
ed in the robbery of the safe in s. II.
Curtis store at that place short time
since, and surmised that detective
was ON his track, which was probably
the fact.

When at Waverly, the other day,
we called at the new dry goods store
Of G. w. Mann, in the brick block OPP
posite the Waverly House, and there,
10 /! and behold was Frank Wright,
whilom Of Charles City, as genial and
radiant as a newly blown rose. So
many ladies were around him, prais-
ing and admiring his new goods, that
it took him q full half hour to go
through the process Of Misunderstanding
with his old friends from Floyd coun-
ty, who just then were happening in.
His goods were so new, and so ele-
giant, and so fashionable, that, at one
time it seemed as if the bevy of beau
ties would carry off the entire stock.
Mr.. Mann, with whom Frank is associ-
ated, is New Yorker by birth and
education, young and handsome, and
knows precisely how to buy goods
cheap and what will please the ladies'
The gentlemen, too, will find at Mr..
Mann's store some splendid cloths for
coats, vests and pants, boots, shoes,
gloves, hats, caps, etcetera, good
enough to wear at wedding or when
hauling wheat to market.

Arrest Of Detective Baker.

Detective l.. C. Baker, who sees fit
to remain silent under the positive and
damaging charge of Mr.. Schade, coun-
sci for Wirz, has been arrested at
Washington OIL the charge of false i'm
prisonment, and for taking away from
Mr.. and Mrs. JOS C. Cobb 5000 in
money, pardon, and other valuable
papers. The Grand Jury of the Dis.
trict have just handed in the present
ments to the District Attorney for the
purpose of preparing indictments.
The Washington Star says that Gen.
Baker discovered that Mrs. Cobb was
fraudulently obtaining pardons for ex-
r bells, and states further that one Of
his detectives was sent to her, and un-
der an assumed name got pardon for
the sum of $500, in SO hours, without
said detective having taken an amnes-
ty oath. On the last money being
paid she was invited to headquarters,
where she was finally released on maxi
ing certain disclosures. 1t has been
stated that the Grand Jury has found
four indictments against Gen Baker
and Mr.. Spear, on the charges Of Mr..
and Mrs. Cobb, but no such action has
yet been taken by the Grand Jury.
The evidence on the trial, should one
take place, will probably furnish rich
expose of the manner in which the
pardon brokerage business has been
carried en-

Theo. huffman of Waverly, whom
everybody knows as one of the oldest
and most enterprising merchants of
that place, has large stock of ladies',
misses and children's rubber sole bal
moral shoes. The soles are fastened
to the upper SO that they never can
give way, while heavy leather inside
sole takes away the effect of the rub
Der on the feet. The upper is made of
the finest Goat Morocco and grain
leather. They are light on the feet,
have neat and fine appearance, equal
to the finest leather sole balmoral, and
are warranted never to rip, and to give
satisfaction in every particular. Above
all, they will keep your feet dry.

Suicide of Preston King.

The announcement that Hon. Pres
ton King, late United States Senator
from New York, aud recently appoint
ed by President johnson as Collector
of Customs at the port Of New York,
committed suicide recently by jumping
from ferry boat, has created pro.
found sensation. Mr.. King has for
many years been one of the most
prominent public men in the country.
1t appears to he settled fact that his
nervous system had been completely
broken down by the burden of respon-
sibility and duty of the Office which lie
had recently assumed. MIR. King was
O very large man, of genial nature,
and unaccustomed to severe personal
application to business. Undertaking
to manage the multifarious and diff
ficult business of the Collectorship Of
New York, he soon found himself
growing nervous and depressed in
spirits under the new cares.
Mr.. King became insane once before
in l848, we bclieve--and was for
some time an inmate of the Utica Lu-
matte Asylum. There was one act in
his history that ever bore heavily on
his thoughts. He was born out of
wedlock. This one thing always seem.
ed to weigh upon his mind, through
life that was. illustrions with public
distinction aud usefulness.
Preston King was born at Ogdens-
burgh, ST. Lawrence county, New
York, October l4th, 1906. He gradu-
ated at Union college, and studied the
profession of law. He was for seve-
raj years member of the New York
Legislature; was representative in
congress from ls43 to ls47, and from
lS49 to 1858; after which he was
elected to the United States Senate.
In 1864 he was a delegate to the Union
national convention at Baltimore; and
in September was appointed collector
Of customs at New York.
