MERCHANT TAILORING. street has always
been the great business centre Of the city, where
merchants most did congregate; but its popularity
was mainly due to the varied nature of it's stores
There is, perhaps, no street in the city THAT III
the compass of three blocks, embraces SO many
different establishments. Prominent among these
is the store of MIR. A. S. HULL, merchant tailor.
MIR. HULL is well known to the Charleston oommu-
nifty as merchant Of many years standing, ana
before the war had a large establishment in Mect-
ing street. He is now located at No. 10 Broad
street, and has, in addition to large stock OF
cloths, cassimeres, &C., fine assortment OF mill
tary and naval goods, and trimmings. These he
is prepared to make up in the most approved and
orthodox styles. MIR. JOHN 7. F1YNN, who has

PALM SUNDAY.-The week before Easter has
been called Holy or Passover Week, and Palm
Sunday was commemorated as the snniversarXo OF
our Saviours triumphant entry into Jerusalem
when the people 'stook branches of palm trees
and went forth to meet Him, crying Hosanna, DC"
In the extreme desire manifested under the all
cient religion to realize all the particulars OF
CHR1sr's passion it was stomary for the priests
to bless branches Of some tree appronmatng TO
the palm, and distribute them among the people,
who carried them in q joyous procession in memc-
ry of the Saviour's triumphal entry into the Holy
City. When this ceremony Was performed the
branches were usually burnt, and the ashes laid
aside to be sprinkled upon the heads of the con-
gregation on the ensuing Ash Wednesday.
After the Reformation Of 1886, HENRY VIII
declared the carrying OF palms on this day to be
one Of those ceremonies not to be condemned or
dropped, and the custom was kept up by the
clergy until the reign Of EDWARD vi, when 1t
was left to tho voluntary observance Of the people,
It has continued to be observed in Europe to the
present day, though not with the same pomp and
ceremony that characterized it in the earlier his

The PREACHER AND THE Plea CORES
ponGent of the Messenger, in this village
giving an account of his :. first circuit" re-
lates the following incident:
% At an appointment away upon the
headwaters of the Little kanawha river in
III isolated community the people were very
ple-hearted, uneducated, and unintelli-
gent, but very religious, devout Christians.
We preached there once in two weeks on
Monday, and the whole community, number
ing about dozen families would usually
turn out. On one beautiful Monday morn
ing, men, women, children. dogs, etc, were
present in force. Among other things pet
pig followed its master to meeting,-a dis
tance of some three miles. The house,
large log building occupied by the family of
the widow L0uden a residence. was our
preaching place. On this occasion it was
very much crowded, and the boys not being
able to find place inside remained out near
the door, where they could hear, and were
very quiet till they observed that the hogs
belonging to the premises had got into the
enclosure about the house, and supposiny
that they were in mischief. set the hounds
after them. The baying of the hounds and
the squealing of the hogs made perfect bed
lam Immediately around the house. In the
meantime the ''pet pig alarmed at the
noise outside ran into the house for refuge.
but the house being densely crowded and he
being a large animal could only get few
steps inside of the door which opened iuet
opposite to where the preacher stood to
speak. And here for sometime the pig stood
facing the minister, but turning his ears first
IN one side and then on the other to listen
TO the noise without. That having subsidized,
he backed his hind parts out at the door and
squatted himself down upon his launches at
an angle of about forty-fve degrees, which
gave him the appearance of looking very
wisely into the preachers face. 1t was the
greatest trial of my life. did not dare to
stop speaking. and recommend that he be
driven away, for the scene was SO ludicrous

IHE LACE OF ANNABERG.-A chatty cor
respondent of the Boston SATURDAY. Gaz-
cite thus describes Annabe.g in central Ger
many:
About the whole region Of Annaberg
there is a vast quantity of beautiful lace
made. No machinery is employed, the
work being done entirely with the hands,
and is hardly excelled by the famous man.
ufacture> Of Belgium and France We
went for walk through the city, stopping
at some of the little cottages where the
women were at work. They talk and chat
ter ike all women over their labor, and
have little quishions foot long, perhaps,
containing six thousand tiny pins of steel,
and sixty so-called clappers or wooden nee
dies, each three inches long. With these
simple impliments, working SO rapidly that
the eye cannot follow the motions of the
pins. they manufacture this beautiful and
delicate texture. So accustomed are they
to the work that they fabricate the finest
and most complicated embroidery without
stopping their laughter or talk, and SEEM
ingly without paying any attention to their
difficult work
Such is the competition of labor in this
over-stocked land, that twelve hours of dali
ly toll brings tncm at the most but ten cents
and until they have spent years at the
business; and become perfectly skilled in
the nlanipulations of their infinite needles,
six cents are good days earnings. Yet
their houses and persons seem clean and
neat; they are pleasant and hospitable,
and l did not see any attempts to force US
70 patronize them, nor to extort the usual
triple price which strangers are charged

Insectivcrous swallows would perish every
year did they not repair to a warm region
as soon as the frost begins to nip the flies
they subsist upon. Their average speed on
the wing when flying for winter retreat is
believed to be at least fifty miles an hour.
Therefore it wonld not take a swallow or
black bird long to reach Louisiana or Tex
as from New England or the State of New
York. When the wind is favorable their
flight is far more rapid. Spallanzi calcu-

way, and flying round without visible
objects to guide them at the great height
in the air to which they mount, they settle
down in open rivers, ponds, and fields, etc,
and if unmolested, remain several days till
the atmosphere becomes clear, when they
again soar into regions above and take
their winding way north. Birds must have

GENERAL SHERIDAN.-George Alfred

of the professional cavalryman that ever
appeared on our continent. His two
grand qualities were lightning PERCEPTION
and lightning action. When he came east

rapidly that it seemed he had climbed TO
some look-ou and examined it all at a
glance. His history IN the East compre-
hended all together one year and five days,
and he sent an average OF two captured
battle flags every three days during all that
time TO the central government. In the
same period ne sent a captured teld-plece
every TWO days and his flags united were
equal TO all the other armies Of the Union.
He had instinct and "wrig.le IN Won

conditions with Il bon h0mmie that was lu-

the Princess Elizabeth to the cathedral,
where her marriage was to be solemnized.
1t was brave pageant far brighter than
the untwined foliage and blossoms were the
tufts of plumes which foated from stately
heads, and festal robes that streamed down

the princess, mounted on snow-white pal

There, with his retinue, stood the royal
bridegroom, whom she had never before
seen. But her glance roved from him to
the organ-loft, where she had expected to
see the mysterious organist. He was gone,
and she WIS obliged to return the grace
fu bow of the king, to whom she had been
betrothed from motives of policy. Me-
chanically she knelt at his side on the al
tar stone; mechanically listened to the
service and made the responses Then her
husband drew her to him in convulsive
embrace, and whispered:
Elizabeth, my queen, my wife, look
up"
Trembling in every limb, she obeyed
Why did those dark eyes thrill her so &?
Why did that smile bring glow ON her
cheek? Ah.-though the king wore the
royal purple, and many jewelled order
glittered on his breast, he seemed the same
humble person who had been employed to
teach organ music, and had taught her the
lore of love

A new cannon has been invented-the
Accelerator-the popularity of which con-
sists in the provision of three or four side
chambers disposed successively in the lower
part of the gun, "between the breech and
say the point one-halfthe way to the muzzle,
opening at an angle sloping toward the
course of the bail into the gun The in
yentor's name is A. S. Lyman, New En-
.lander. These side chambers are of very
great strength, ond each is filled with
leavy charge of powder. The result is, that
when the ball which is started on its own
course by its own proper charge-of less
quantity and slower-burning powder than
usual, however-passes the opening of the
irst acceerator, '' the fire sets back down
and into its chamber, and lights its powder,
which instantaneously adds its force to the
impetus Of the ball" This process is re-
peated at each successive accelerator The
result of all this is, that the ball leaves the
gun with velocity, and an impinging force,
immensely in excess of any thing possible
when fired by the ordinary method. Scien-
tific men tell us that in an ordinary cannon.
the ball retains at the muzze but one-thirtieth
of the impulse communicated by the powder.
This is in consequence of the immense re-
sistance offered by atmospheric pressure.
On Mr.. Lyman's new plan, the ball at the
muzzle retains fve-sevenths of its original
momentum.
''On trial by the side of the Whitworth
muzzle-loader. the most powerful gun in the
Washington Navy-Yard, Mr.. Lyman's gun
was found to possess from FIVE to eight times
its penetrative power. Lit sent a shot through
"a fve-inch iron plate, through eighteen
inches Of solid oak behind it, through
brace a foot thick behind that-where it
severed an inch bolt-and, having thus
passed clean through the target, it went on
about one hundred yards. The shot from
the Whitworth gun merely dented the same
target to the depth of three and three
fourths inches.''
