The STREET RAIIRoAD.-The extension OF this
road through Meeting street to the Battery is now
completed and q trial trip made last week proved
that tho Mcssrs. OWENS have preserved their repu-
tatiou as railway contractors. Monday was the
day designated to make the different changes COLI
templated on the several routes, and unless tho
present plans are altered the Rutledge street and
King street cars will exchange places. In accord
ance with the requests Of numerous patrons of the
road, the conductors will not be removed, but will
continue Oh the routes whore they have, without
nm exception rendered themselves deservedly pop
ular. AS the route from Broad street to the Bat
terry is not much listed during the morning hours,
the cars will continue running to the East Bay ter
minus until 4P NJ when every alternate car will
proceed to the Battery.
In order to avoid all unnecessary confusion it is
proposed to designate the cars On the two routes
by some appropriate insignia, such rs fags of diff
fereut colors, tho Battery car flying blew pennon
at the fore, while the East Bay car can be known
by q red flag. During the summer, when the
Battery promenade is crowded with visitors, this
designation will be very important, OF the unwary
Nigh be carried 10 the old Postoice instead Of to
| the Battery. Further changes are il contempla-
ton by the Company, but the exact time for put
! ting them in operation has not been definitely
| settled.
ST. PATR1oK's DAy.-Yesterday was the anniver
sary of the birthday OF Patrick, the Apostle and
Patron Saint of Ireland When and where he was
born has been basis for dispute between histo-
rians from the sixth century to the present time,
and any knowledge in regard to his parentage is |
equally obscure Sitting the chaff Of tradition in
order to better reach the grain Of TRUTH we opine
however, that he was born in France, about the
commencement of the fifth century, and that his
parents were members OF the upper class of that |
country. Captured By some Celtic feebooters, who
made raid into France, he was taken to Ireland
as slave; F.; and escaping from thence, a year or
two after, studied for the Church. and returned to
the Screen Isle" as the Nuncio of Pope Celestin,
decade following his escape therefrom. Soon
after his advent there, he rapidly converted the
pagan natives to Christianity, and died on the
Island full of years and honors-his name and
fame as universally known as the history Of the
Master whom he 40 well served, and his memory |
revered by every true descendant Of the Irish race.
Yesterday being Sunday, the celebration Of the
day vas deferred, and will take place to-day. In |
former days. the day was wont to be ushered in |
with parade of the several Irish volunteer militia
companies, But this is one Of the observances
now, for good reasons temporarily dispensed with.
Those who were military then are civil now; and |
the volunteer soldiers have giren way to the in
voluntary military.
By reference to our advertisement column it |
will be observed that the old Hbernian Society is
intent upon renewing its youth; and Taras Hall
tonight will resound with nlrth and glee as in the
glorious days Of old.
The st. Patricks Benevolent Society also will
have their celebration to-day and as this is their
golden wedding, we doubt not it will be splendid
affair.
260, O. T. G. 260.-Our readers may have seen,
for some time past upon the various walls in the
city the mysterious heading Of this notice. They
have, doubtless, puzzled themselves in attempting
to solve it. With his usual enterprise and acdvi-
ty, our local has made the discovery. In passing
along King street he accosted friend who asked
"Where is WA11AcHs ?" why right across over
there at $780," Whereupon, instin,tively, he said
$3.50; oh | I see, $780,"
Mr.. WAILAoH, whose advertis ament will be seen
in this mornings issue, and who7e establishment
is in the bend Of King street. No. $780, has but re-
comfy returned from the North, where he has
been for some time on,a purchasing tcur, and laid
in new, elegant and varied assortment Of goods
in his line carefully selected by himself, with
special reference to the wants Of the citizens of
Charleston, and Of the surrounding country. Mr.
WAILAcH is satisfied that the city OF Charleston
can support several boot and shoe establishments
and, in consideration Of this, has largely increased
his stock.
While delaines, silks, muslins, lawns aces, pop
Inns, embroideries, and nantilas-rare, rich and
beautful-are eagerly sought after by the votalies
Of fashion, and aid to enhance the charms OF
beauty what adds more to the appearance of the
wearer than neat, nice, elegantly made balmoral
shoe or lovely calf Congress gaitor, perfectly and
exactly fitting? It is the last finishing touch Of
the artist to the picture. Nothing is more be-
witching and captivating than weu-made foot
eucased within tho folds Ut an artistic-nade boot
or shoe exquisite.
The secret Of good looks, says some ono, is to
have good hat. While this is truth, no beauty
or manliness can or would he complete in accord
ance with the requirements of fashion aud pro-
priety, without the charming fitting, wel-made
boot or shoe.
ssvirtue may flourish in lilac, black or blue,
But man and nature scorn the shocking boot or shoe
MIR. WALLAcH has the greater portion of his
stock manufactured by hand to order. He has in
connection large and varied assortment of
trunks, valises and carpet bags.
The boots and shoes Of AIr. WALLACE are unsur-
passed by any in the city for style, finish, make
and durability. BE is prepared to accommodate
all, rich and poor, the rosy checked boy and girl,
the fashionable Miss Ilora's and Brummels, the
mdded aged the gray haired size, and the toiling,
hard laboring man, who earns his money by the
sweat Of his face; having an infinite variety, en-
bracing fine, medium and common, ranging in
price from rs cents to SIS.
Mr.. WA1IAcH, determined not to be behind the
progress and improvement of the times, is nicely
and tastily fitting up his establishment to suit the
taste Of the most fastdious
We commend him to all, ind trust that he may
command alarge and liberal share Of public patron
age. He who labors and expends his money to
improve and add to the business Of tho city, de-
serves to be supported.
