TO THE MERCHANTS
OF THE SOUTH.


THE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL
Charleston is again a market for the pur-
chase OF goods; and in view of the early
opening of the Spring Trade, we beg to
solicit the resumption of the patronage so
literally extended to this market in the
past. We are aware that many old and
respected firms will be missed from our
number, but many familiar names will be
found in new associations, ready to supply
the wants Of the trade as of yore, and other
old and new firms will be added to our
number at an early day.
The cash and short credit system having
been universally adopted in all the North
ern markets, we are necessarily compelled
to adopt like system as the only safe one
on which to conduct business, and the
heavy per centage once necessary TO cover
bad debts will now be avoided. Small pro-
fits and quick returns will be the rule. and
under its working Ne hope not only to
restore to our ancient city its former pros
perity, but to extend her trade to the full
extent Of the capabilities her excellent
geographical position and natural advan-
tages afford. Our interest and ambition
combine to stimulate us in attaining this
result.
The South Carolina Railroad is now open
to Columbia, and it's President has officially
informed us that the Augusta line will be
Coiupie'eu W DlacKVlle tnlS hOntn, ana
that on the first of February he will receive
through freight to Augusta. A line of
steamers to Savannah will afford facilities
for shipping III that direction. 1t is our
purpose to have in store, by the last of
February, Il complete and varied assort-
ment of goods in our respective lines
adapted to the Spring Trade, and every
eXertion shall be made to promote your
interests.
We extend to YOU the hand of CONNER
clal fellowship, and solicit your co-opera-
ton and patronage in our efforts to mako
Charleston the centre of Southern trade
Give us the encouragement we ask, and
you will enjoy all the advantages of cheap
home market

DAYS OF CHILDHOOD.
BY J. AUGUSTINE slGNIAGo.

BY J. AUGUSTINE slGNIAGo.
oh ! the happy days of childhood
Like the sunshine down the lawn,
Seem the treasure, joy and pleasure
OF the childish bliss that's gone,
Happy days, that like the sunshine,
Faded at the touch of night,
We have parted sorrow hearted,
And but dimy see your light
Oh /! the pleasant days of childhood
Gone forever from our eyes
Arc the dearest and the nearest
To our earthly pardise;
And their light we love and cherish,
Like the sunshine on our track,
For to mother, sister, brother,
They will bring the heart thoughts back,
oh the darling days of childhood
Dearest days of all cur years,
When no sorrow we could borrow,
Lett us any bitter tears;
Days of happiness and pleasure,
We will surely meet once more,
With the Giver Ger the river,
On that bright immortal shore.

In the Emotional Way.

Twas in the close Of glorious summer
day, the sun was sinking behind distant

shades Of night-when Sal and myself sat
upou an antiquated back log listening to the

pigs and ROSTERS, which was waited to our

IFS APPROPRIATION FOR MISSISSIPPI
This noble undertaking Of the ladies
of Maryland, Of which we have copied
brief notices from time to time, has
been crowned with a success which
must be in the highest degree crafty
ing to the warm-hearted promoters of
the enterprise, having netted the sum
Of one hundred thousand dollars.
Respecting the disposition of a por-
ton Of it we are happy to be permit
ted to copy a portion of a letter re
ceived by Gov. Humphreys, enclosing
a check for part of the amount and
requesting advice as to the proper di-
rection to be given to the remainder

Anxious to give very prompt relief

How deep an interest she felt in her

A SMART DoG-The town of As
toria, Oregon, can boast of the smart
est dog that has been heard from
lately, if Van Dusen tells the truth in
relation to the doings of his canine
While visiting Tillamoek Beach this
summer, the dog was troubled very
much with tieas, and had become tired
of scratching. He was discovered
one day hunting around the house for
something, and finally picked up a
piece of loose soft cotton batting. and
started off for the beech with the cot
ton sticking out of his mouth. He
went to the water, slowly backing
down into it. and holding his head up
so as to keep the cotton dry. The
fieas started for his head as the dog
kept backing into the water, and final
iy there was but the cotton out of the
water, when suddenly cotton disap-
peared, and the dog made his appear
ance minus cotton and fleas. The
cotton was picked out of the water,
and was actually covered with heas.
Van says he saw the dog do it-sn 1t
must be true.
The account does not do justice to
the dogs intelligence, as it is obvious
he must have heard somebody read of
this expedient being practiced by
foxes, and acted upon the suggestion
The fox story is very old one
