TIE MERMAID sEII--Ihe colored poruoh OF
our citizens we're thrown into an intense state
Of excitement on Saturday by the announcement
that veritable, genuine and unmlstakable mer-
maid had been washed ashore at CHrsoLhs Mill,
and Was captured by the prince OF the apotheca-
ries, DR.. TnoTT. Numbers repaired to the mills,
but not finding the object Of their search, returned
to the shop, where they insisted on the maid OF
the sea being produced Their curiosity was re-
leyed by the announ cement that the monster was
confined IN the cellar and was not prepared for an
introduction, but they fingered around the door,
anxious to obtain peep ct the farfamed creature.
At one time over 500 people were present. and mur-
murs Of indignation, both long and loud, were ut
tered against the hspless apothecary. The Dstu-
raj supersttions Of the race were aroused, and an
old tar, who sd crossed the line and had seen the
wonders Of the deep, would have learnt lesson In
the art Of telling yarns II he had mingled with
were repeated with the additions gained by their
sge, and mermaids were almost considered COM
mon trash compared with tne marvellous ssa'e-
ments advanced py some Oh tne ncuon maAers'
Some James Island negroes on iearmns 'ne 0ause
OF the crowd, became very muon eAo''eo ano uis0u

TO the water fhey alleged, as reason Ior tnls COL
duct, that until 1t was done the sea would oonnnue
10 moan, and the wind and rain would desoiate
the country and ruin the crops. Their importu-
mites became so fierce that MIR. TRoTT WAS forced
to appease them by stating that the creature had
been carried back to the water. This assertion
quieted the crowd somewhat, but the excitement
was not abated, and, on Sunday crowd OF small
negroes we're gathered around the drug seore'
