fulls of the spring. blackberry, commonly
called the dewberry. They sell at ten cents

We believe.
Shinplasters
Individual issues of money ESQ called)
have been to some extent convenience and
to large extent nuisance Now, how
ever, when national currency of change sizes
can be had in abundance, the convenience
] of sbinplasters has become zero and the
nuisance nearly iu6uity 1t is time for hon.
est business men to put their feet down up
the circulation of such, and stop it.
The Sidewalks.
There is such an ambition to display
goods in our market, that it is difficult to
make ones way along the pavements.-
Ones nose is constantly in danger of catch.
ing into things dangling over head such
things rs umbrellas, shoes, busters, panta-
looms, switch. brushes, straw hats, axe ham
dies, and hoop skirts, not to mention hun.
dred other and more miscellaneous articles
too numerous to stoop under-for tall per-
sons We wonder if king Solomon didn't
have trouble about this matter, lang syne,
in good old mercantile Jerusalem.
Cooking.
We see that one styling himself Profess
sor Blot (whatever professor means) is leo.
turing in Boston upon cookery. He is an
advocate of thorough cookiog-doing things
perfectly done. This is a novelty in fash.
iouable cookery, which heretofore required
that meats be eaten as nearly blood2raw as
possible. 1t has been considered stylish to
eat beef so rare that the blood would ooze
from every bite cut of. Professor Blot re.
commends cooking to an over done. We
rejoice in this; for it makes an opportunity
for our being fashionable (for Professor
Blot will of course be the fashion, without
being nauseated
We believe in thoroughness, in cooking
as we'll as everything else.
Travelling North.
We understand that the new schedule
upon the main route of NorthWard travel
By railroad, will soon be in operation. One
going to New York from Columbia, will
leave Columbia at Ais P. m, reaching
Richmond at's p. m, the next day, and
reaching New York at 7 p. m, the follow
ing day. Thai is, if one leave Columbia
Monday afternoon, he will reach New York
at o'clock on the afternoon of Wednes-
day. The time for the whole trip from Co.
lumbia to New York, is to be fifty hours
and forty five minutes. That is nearly up
to ante. bellum time. We went before the
war Gf we remember correctly from Co
lumbia to New York in forty.four hours.
We understand there will be considerable
reduction iD price for the through tickets.
Southern Magazines. ...
Among the best We can cordially recon-
mend to our friends the Crescent Monthly,
of New Orleans. We have seen two num-
bers-those of April and May-whioh are
all that have yet appeared of it. These are
capital numbers. We know enough of the
editor to warrant US in assuring our readers
that the Monthly is to be first.class Mag.
azine and richly worthy their patronage
Among the contributors from South Caro-
lima, We. see the name of Miss Clara V.
Dargan, whose graceful and ready pen oon-
tributes an article to the May number. The
terms are SIS year, or So for six months.
The address of the publisher is Wm. Eve.
lyn, 80 Exchange Place, New Orleans.
Scots Monthy Magazine, published in
Atlanta, is also a first class Magazine. We
have expressed our opinion of this periodi.
cal before; and most practically endorse
our opinion by contributing to it series of
papers upon Physiognony, or the art Of
reading character from the outer man. The
May number contains our second article
upon that subject.
Prentice and Brownlow.
We are delighted to see the issue between
these worthless We know nothing of the
origin of it, or of the merits of the case;
but it is refreshing to hear such an out.and.

low is, SO thoroughly excoriated. Prentice
came out several weeks ago with broad
side at Brownlow, which was masterpiece
in its way; and its way was in detraction,
lampoon, jeer, sarcasm, taunt, bill;ngsgate,
scorn and contempt. To this the vile thing
replied, splitting venom and Browniowuian
filth at his assailant. Prentice appears q
week or SO ago with rejoinder, and such
a rejoinder. In the next edition of the
Vocabulary of He'll (whateVer that isl there
will doubtless be numerous additions gath

Some contend that this mutual rscrimina.
tion and vilifcation is but another example
of the kettles calling the pot black; but
we personally rejoice more in what Prem.
