l The CorroN ON JOHNS ISLAND The raVageS
of the caterpillar the sea islands are iar more
| extensive than was at first anticipated. some
plantations have been completely denuded, andthe
brown and withered stalks are ali that remain OF
the once promising fields OF cotton. We under
stand that in some sections the planter will barely
make the seed for the coming year, while in others
the Weld will DO far short of the usual average.
The South has been sorely tried since the war, but
it was thought with resoluteness and energy mnch
of her lost prestige could be regained. The plant
ers went to work with strong determination 10
retrieve their ruined and, until within tbs
last few weeks, the prospect looked brightsnd en-
couraeing. but the incessant rains and the cater
pillar have destroyed al the expectations they
once fondy encouraged.
| Amid this widespread destruction it IS cheering
to know that some few plantations have escaped
with comparatively little damage.- We have peen
shown specimen Of cotton FROM the plantation Oh
Messrs Yates i Stevens. on Johns Island, that Is
| remarkable for the hnemess OF the tissue ana the
general good appearance OF the staple THESE
gentlemen have escaped with q loss OF ABOUT half
their crop, but expect to bring remainder to
maturity. and hope that, from the scarcity OF the
article, it will command high price. DIR. Yates
has presented us with some specimens Of the cat
eruiIlar in vigorous condition, and also in the
cocoon, but not being an entonioiogist, we have
consigned them to their tomb.
1t is the custom in China to'eat the silk worm
fried in castor oil, but Ne hopo that tho cotton
caterpillar will be exterminated without subject
ing ourselves to the painful necessity Of devourng
them. Their reign for this season is over, and
before their return, which We trust is many years
distant, some method may be discovered by which
this plague may. be avoided For this year the
prospects Of the sea island planter are bishted,
and but few will realize any return for the labor
and money expended. Those, however, who have
fortunately escaped will he abis2to command
high price for the cotton, as the quantity sent TO
market will fall short Of the demand.
TEE PAvInaoN HoTEL.-As one OF the caravan
saries Of the city, the Pavilion Hotel has been
known and patronized for many years. Under the
management Of Mr.. q. L. Butteraeld, its Ieputa-
tion was widespread and travellers both from this
and the reighbor:ng States sought the Pavilion as
an ark of refnge. The genial face Of the host was
guarantee that ease could be found st
thst Inn. and none cared to extend their travels.
Since the death o., Mr.. Butteraeld the Pavilion
has been conducted By his widow, who has abun-
dainty proved that she is fully capable OF thasrdq
ous task OF keeping hotel.
The Pavilion Hotel has bss1 recently subjected
to thorough overhaulingsand every part of the
building has received appropriate attention. The
improvements are plainly visible on the first floor,
where thefreshEess Of the paint at once catches
| the eye. Two large stores have been opened Oh
this story, which add considerably TO the business
appearance of the building. Since the removal Of
the postofice; the large dining room has been
opened to its full extent and has accommodations
for any number OF guests
| Tho Bar, under the charge Of Mr.. Harry Par
sons, is stocked with choice liquors. and thosewho
have once smiled at this spot need no Inducements
to make them repeat the performance: Mr.. PAT

stands the art OF making those pleasing mixtures
