PKRsoxAL.:-We unintentonally omitted yeste-
day to chronicle the event Of the season; the arri
val in our sanctum Of our genial friend JULIAN A.
sELBx, Of the Columbia Phenir. His shadow does
OF grow less, and glance at his six feet proper
tions reminds us that they were giants in those
days. M. sESsY is the proprietor of the most aou-
riahing journal in the nteriorf this State and its
large circulation and influence commends it to our
merchants as an advertising medium.
!; RouND THE CoREER-Under this title GEORGE
W.PoND & Co. have, at the south corner Of East
Bay and Adger's Wharf, one Of the coziest restau-
rans that can be found in our city, where the hest
wines and liquors, as well as most agreeable
lunch, can always be found, AMI where the prices
are considerably lower than in other establish
ments. Situated as he is, in the business part OF
the town, we feel satisfied that this slight hint
'xM be sufficient to insure them custom from those
who are borne down by the heat Of the sun, or who
are too much employed to take their dinner at
home.
RoBBERHs.-On the SOth ult. the store Of Messrs.
GEORGE LITTLE & Co., in King street, was broken
il into by going through Princess street aud pryng
OF the bar at the back window. The thieves Lit
the gas, and helped themselves, carrying off be-
tween 500 and 5000 worth Of clothing Leuten-
ant HENDR1oKs put the case in the hands OF officer
MEYER, who soon traced the parties, and had trcm
. arrested. Agreater portion Of the goods were re-
covered, although they were scattered in different
houses. Lieutenant HEsDR1cKs also succeeded in
recovering fine gold watch that had been stolen
from Mr.. HENRY BURROUGHS by negro, who suo-
eequently sold it to white man named JAMES
MAURICE for three dollars. Both parties have
been arrested.
IRoN FoUNDRY AND MAGKNR SHoP.-The sound
Of the hammer and the anvil has always been con-
Sidered the most cheering sign of prosperity, and
perhapa no place where business and music arc
combined to o greater extent than in machine
shop, and the ring Of metal at once tolls tale of
life and activity: Charleston can boast OF many
Of these establishments, but wish to refer par
ticularly to the Foundry Of h1essrs. JOHN F. TAY-
.~IuR Co., in Pritchard street. These gentlemen
: hsye made e1tensive preparations to conduct the
business on large scale, and can turn out any
machinery that may be required. They have now
in course Of erection an additional machine shop
with all the latest improvements, which will en-
able them 10 turn out any work demanded The
shope being near the water, any kind Of marine
work can be. performed with great facility. We
commend Messrs. TAYLOR & Co, to the good graces
OF the public, being assured that they will never
}. want patronage.
g:s TEE HBERB1coN.-The crowds that attended
L. k6ok
appreciation Of the performance was not weaken
el, and the different scenes, and the jokes Of
BARNEY were received with repeated encores. 1t
is impossible to do Justice to this performance, as
the variations are so pleasing that they ct once at
tri6V the attention which is kept enchained
throughout. The acting is extremely good, and
the Ife-ike appearance OF the different characters
can hardly be surpassed.
To-day, it Will be remembered, is the last, but
by no means the least, as there will be grand
matinee In the afternoon, which has been arranged
for the especial accommodation Of families and
schools, ut reduced prices. In the evening there
win be farewell benefit Of the popular Guide,
BARNEY, in which all Of the wonders Of the enter
tainment will be exhibited CARNEY has SO endear-
ed himself to his audiences byhis rich jokes that
we predict an astonishingly full house, and advise
none to stay away who can make the trip.

The LAp1Es' MEMORIAL AssocuAHoN.-The an
nnal ceremony Of decorating the graves OF the Con-
federste dead was observed yesterday, not only at
Magnolia Cemetery but at the private grave yards
in the city. When the Association was first formed
the 10th Of June, the anniversary Of the battle Of
Secessionvie, was chosen their anniversary. but
it was thought best to change this to the 10th of
May, the anniversary Of Gen. SToNEwA1L JAcKsoN's
DEATH as this day was observed by the associations
in siste- cities. After due deiberation among the
members, it was decided to make no ostentatious
display Of sorrow but simply to dress the tombs of
the fallen heroes with their floral offerings. In
consequence Of this recence on their part few out
Hiders were aware that the day had been changed.
OF that any preparations had been made to celc-
brate the occasion. =
rie ladies Of the Association had been busily en-
gagged for several days in collecting their tribute
offowers, and forming them into the different
ornaments to be employed in decking the soldiers
graves. Every garden in the city was taxed, but
the larger portion were furnished from the garden
Of Mr.. srRouB, the keeper Of the Cemetery.
The day was bright, clear, and beautiful; it
seemed as if nature had smiled upon the scene and
had aided the holy cause, by the charm of balmy
air laden with the breath Of flowers.
By six o'clock in the morning many were on the
ground arranging the wreaths Of flowers and i'm.
1norteDes on the several graves, but it was not
until P. II. that the crowd began to assemble,
and in short time the cemetery was covered with
fair maidens bending over the last resting places
Of the gallant dead and tenderly arranging the
immortelles upon the mounds. Nearly four hun
dred persons we're present, and, with very few ex-
ceptions, these were all ladies-members of the
