RnruaNrNa REruaEEs.-It. is not as frequent
SIGHT now as it was this time last year, but still
vo,, can often SEQ even now OF the depot of the
South Carolina Railroad being unlcaded from the
trains. the furniture, bedding, household utensils
and trunks Of refugees who are just returning to
the city after an absence of three, four, or even
five years. Examine these remnants of property,
and you Gun see at o glance what they once were
and what they now are. The history of removals
and of hard usage is written indeibly and unmis-
takably upon them in scratches bruises, and
tory Of the family. They, too, are dilapidated.
They are older. They are no longer whole! An
old member has gone to rest in his appointed
time, or the sword has cut off the gallant son in
the bloom Of youth or q daughter has succumbed
to unwonted hardships. Still the remnant of the
family brings the remnant Of the property back to
Charleston, to the old city, to the much loved
home. They are here once more, and the horrors
Of refugee life are for moment forgotten. The
trading Of furniture clothes, and jewery, at one
fourth their value, to hard-fsted old farmers for
corn at two or three prices, is Like troubled
dream. The church spires, the long streets, the
shop windows, the moving panorama OF vehicles
and pedestrians, tho rattling of wheoss the beat
ing Of hammers, the cries Of fishermen, in short,
all the familiar sights and sounds of city life, seem
80 natural, 80 exactly the same as they did years
ago, that they seem for amoment never to have
been away. But city people can meyer entirely for
get the miseries Of forced life in the baokwoods,
and we believe implicitly that to whisper the word
,p-country in the ear Of q sleeping ex-refugee
would give him the nightmare.
Mayors CouRr.-One of the Green Islanders
having q fondness for the juice, took drop too
much and performed several fantastic man@uvres in
Market-street, to the edifcation of On apprecatve
audience. According to recent regulations, o pub
lie dance costs Aomething, and many was bagged
by stray policeman. She asserted in piteous
tones that it was not her fault, as the last tasto
made her sing and frolic and besides she had four
children home dependent on her. Justice could
not be hoodwinked in this way, and MARY was
charged SIS as the fruit Of her tranHgression.
An ugly African with an ifonica countenance,
went into the hardware business and stole guam

trate.
A darkey ambitious Of preforment, ondeavored
to force his way on Adgers wharf contrary to reg
ulations, and was fnod $5 for the effort.
AS the Circus is now coming equestrian perform
ances are oil the vogue, and a drayman, inspired
with lofty ind inspiring thoughts, made the side
walk, near the Artesian Well, his course. But Like
love, it did not run smooth he was arrested in
his mad by star, and carried to the Judges
stand, where fine Of $5 vas awarded as the result
Of his performance
Elliott street is suchl classic locality that it is
seldom anything good turns up there. In the pre-
sent instance one of ts denizons, infamed by light
ming whiskey, commenced whoopng and yelling In
O terrible manner. The guardians Of the night were
alarmed, and amothered the songster in a cell. His

he was jugged.
One Of the old habitues Of the Guard House, and

her punishment, and she droopngly departed,
looking like the Last Rose Of Summer.
