THE PoET's MEMoRY-GENERoUs OFFER.-We
are grati6ed to learn (says the Columbia Phenix),
that the well-known publishing house Of Messrs.
G. B. RICHARDSON & Co., of New York, have volun-
tarlly offered to publish volume, embracing the
poems of HENRY TIMRoD, for the sole benefit OF
his surviving family. This is indeed generous
offer, and we trust that a competent friend will
undertake the compilation of MIR. TnaRoD's poems,
and preface it with fitting biographical sketch.
His friend and brother poet, PAUL b. HAYNE,
would confer favor upon all who admired the
writings OF poor HARRY TIMRoD. We hope he Will
undertake the work.
ALI, Souls DAYs-This festival is celebrated by
the Roman Catholic Church on behalf OF souls IN
Purgatory, for whose release prayers are offered
and masses performed. 1t was first introduced in
the ninth century, but was not generally observed
until the sixteenth. Its observance was esteemed
of such importance that, in event of its falling on
Sunday, it was observed on the previous Satur'
day, in order that the souls of the departed might
suffer no detriment from the want Of the prayers
of the Church. In former times it was customary
for persons dressed in black to traverse the streets
ringing dismal-toned bell at every corner, and
calling upon all to join in prayers for the dead
At present the observances Of the day are confined
to the religious services in the churches.

temptation was removed by taking his last V.
Three colored wranglers, who came from words
to blows, we're arrested in the market, charged

Three colored disputants forgot all about par
lamentary rules, and taking the market as theil
forum, proceeded to enforce their arguments b!

The CIrADE1.-Those who remember the ding!
brown color of the Citadel will be surprised to not
the magical effect produced by the artistic Land
ling of tho white wash brush. 1t is now OF pure
white color, but we understand that, in few days
another coating will be applied, which will change
the hue to a rich cream and make the exterior
somewhat Ike the Mills House. This cream color is
produced BY the use of the Ravenel lime, which has
become extremely popular since it was introduced
in this city. The glare produced by the suns
rays is avoided, and the color resists the action
the weather far better an the darker shades tha
were once in vogue. The improvements on the
Citadel have not been confined to the exterior, bu
the whole building has received the same atten
ton and the omnous sign of ''paint" is to be seel
in every room. The appropriation made Tor tm
work has been well expended, and will renuer th'
Citadel one of the mott attractive buildings In tat
city.
