CONFEDERATE DEAD.-We call attention to the |
Advertisement in another column, headed "Pronl- |
enadc Entertainmcnt;'' in which our readers will
be informed, that they respectfully invited to
call this evening, at the school room OF the Church
of tho Holy Communion, and contribute somo-
what to the aid of the association for the erection
of o monument in commemoration of the Confede-
rate dead.
IoE CnEAM-It will be perceived, from an ad-
vertisement in another column, that Mrs ELLEN
TURPIN has opened an Ice Cream Garden at
PRT1Ts popular old stand. Let all who desire to
keep cool, and at the same time enjoy really
innocent glass, call in, invest, partake, depart,
and call again.
A D1sApPoINrMENr.-It has been matter of
great regret to the public generally, and the Indies
particularly, that Professor MILES address to the
Chrestomathic Society Of the Charleston College
was delivered on night so unpropitious as last
Thursday. 1t was, as might have been expected
from one of Mr. MILES reputation and merit,
address worthy of the largest attendance and most
profound admiration and, in order that it might
not be lost, when calculated to do so much good,
both mentally and morally, the Society have
yeauested him, we learn, to repeat it on tho night
or Thursday, tho 24th when at 81 o'clock, the
College Chapel will again be opened to the public
for this purpose, and we feel assured that he will
not fail to have full and crowded hall.
TIRE FAtn.-The ladies of Trinity NJ. E. Church
open the Fair at Hibernian Hall this evening at
o'clock. We noticed tho unique style of decora-
ton yesterday, which, with the exquisite taste dis
played by tho ladies in dressing their tables, pro-
mises rare treat to the lovers Of the beautiful.
The "Sybil's Grotto" will induce many to take
peep into the future. The Post Office will be oc-
cupied with attentive clerks duly qualified for
their responsible position. The stage is arranged
for the tableaux which will afford rich and va
ried amusement on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day evenings. Tho band will discourse sweet mu-
sic, and all will doubtless go merry rs marriage
bell. Such industry deserves the patronage OF our
people, and We accordingly advise all to go and
see for themselves
The Bill of Fare promised at the refreshment
tables is calculated to tempt an anchorite.
That brick will be there too not in q hat, how
ever, but in the Apalatoscope, described in our
yesterdays paper.
TUE QUAKER CrrY.--We again have occasion to
revert to the merits of this excellent steamer,
inasmuch as one of us arrived on her yesterday,
having for the first time in our experience mado
sea voyage without at any single moment being
in the slightest degree affected by that most disa-
greeabie of ills-nat de n,er. This copsumma-
ton, ever 80 devoutly wished for, and for sc
happily attained, we attribute to the fact that
in the Quaker City as it is possible for o steamer
to havo besides this, the state rooms are commo
dious and comfortable and tho berths roomy ant
un-cofin-lke. The accommodations are in all re
spects excellent, the fare superior in quantity
quality and cuisine, and the attendance all tina
could be desired. Capt WEST is q whole souled
genial gentleman, and thoroughbr cd, bg-heartet
sailor the other officers are cast in the sam
mould; and as to SAM BRINaLoE, the pilot
were gliding refined gold and paint;nr lilies in
Vulnerable to refor to him as o trump Of the mos
exalted order. To hear SAM sing his song-h
knows but one song, and has mastered but
single line Of that's to sit entranced ia stat
of ecstatic happiness and bliss unaloyed.
Monsieur RAMSEY, the efficient steward, see
that everything is served Up a la Francais; i
short, the Quaker City is Pfrst-:ass (hoatipg
hotel. Let all who desire to take pleasant ru
over to New York this summer, with tho leas
possible chance OF sea-sickness, remember tn
Quaker City.
