The devastation and destruction caused by the
war has left the country almost bare Of ordinary

Those bought at this sale viii, no doubt, be sold at

aged, and in spite Of the Radicals we will be able
to make future that viii equal the past.

than we had reason to expect from the character
OF our Charleston audiences, always appreciative
Of true art,-hom the well-known proficiency and

appreciation accorded to his efforts. The "Ade-
