TIE WAYS OF JAPANESE F1REMEN.-A letter
from Mr.. j. B. Putnam, now travelling in Japan,
will give wrinkle to our Charleston fremen
in regard to the best way Of putting out firea
In every town there are a number of organ
lied fire companies. Yokahama having twelve
or fifteen, each provided with the following in-
struments First, small wooden engine about
two feet square. which is carried on the shoul-
ders Of two of the company; a.circular paper
charm about two feet in diameter, gaudly
colored, and fastened at the top Of long pole;
and bamboo ladder. Besides which each
member is provided with pole, with an iron
hook fastened at the end Of it, for tearing down
the buildings surrounding the fire. On the
bells striking the alarm, the different COM
panies start on full run for the scene OF &C.
ton, keeping up at the. same time such a
yelling and screaming as would put to the blush
even the old fire department Of New York.
Arriving at the fire, the charm bearer, entirely
enyeloped in an infammable coat, takes up
his position on one Of the neighboring build
ings, and, keeping his charm in constant mo.
expire before such terrible instrument.
Believing that s'preyention is better than
cure" the hremen do not attempt to throw
water on the burning. building, but, instead,
keep up steady stream on their leader, to
skeep him COOL" while few Of their number
attack the nearest building with their pixies;
but before they have got it half down they are
driven of; the fire usually following Them en-
tirely through the town in this way. Indeed,
q fire seldom breaks out in any OF their towns
but Whist it leaves it in ashes in few hours;
The inspection Of the companies concluded N
with the following performance: Each COM
pany, in passing before the Governors house;
who was standing on the balcony surrounded
by his officials, halted, and having rested one
end Of their ladder on the ground, they clus-
tered around it, and dozen Of them thIusting
their pixies into it about eight feet from the
ground, they braced themselves, and in this
way held it firmly. One of their number,
dressed in tight Clothes now mounted to the
top, and, at the height of twenty-five feet,
went through some Of the most surprising
evolutions imaginable, standing on his head,
turning himself inside out, and making sud
den jump from the ladder when it seemed as
If nothing could save him from o fearful fall,
and then being jerked back with tremendous
force by cord which he had fastened to his
leg. Each member went through these vari-
ous maneuvres with slight variations, the per-
formance being kept up al the afternoon.

DuLs SUCCESSOR TO BE ELEcTED-THE CAN.
DmArEs NoMmsATED.-A stter from Camden
informs us that the Radical party assembled in
solemn conclave on the 2ath instant, in view OF
an election for successor to the lamented
Dill, which ia to be held on the 18th Of August.
They nominated one David Cooper alias White,
who has the advantages of being white and
Irish. He has been resident Of Camden
about two years, and is tied neck and heels to
the Radical party. This nomination did not
suit some Of the Rsds, and the Rev. Harmon
Jones, also white, will be run as an independ-
emit candidate. Jones says that White is q
scoundrel, but their history shows that it would
be difficult to chose between them. The Rev.
Jones is not immaculate, as he has been sus-
ipected Of S habit Of annexing his neighbor's
goods contrary to the Mosaic code.
White is an humble member Of the party, and
not guilty Of any crims that would compromise
him with his associates, though his conduct is
considered to be, mildly speaking, somewhat
reprehensible. Ee received the nomination on
the morning of the 2sth, and later in the day
was served with warrant of arrest for bigamy.
White imagined the nnreconstructed States
we're in the condition of Utah and plurality of
ribs allowable. He married in Camden, and the
certificate Of former marriage is now in Cam
den to testify against him. It is not consider
ed, however, that such q small matter will in
terfere with the election, and the bets are all
in favor of the bisamist.

To the Editor oftde Ne,0s:
AS taxpayer of the City Of Charleston
would call the attention Of the committee on
furnishing rations to the poor to the great
deception used by some of the poor Of this
city in procuring rations. I know OF a case Of
a lady who is receiving rations Tor herself, hus-
band and son, and both the husband and BON
are in steady employment. I could mention
over a dozen similar cases to my own knowl-
edge, but it is not necessary atpresent. In
Justice to the tax-payers.of this city. think
this matter of deception should be investi-
gated.

ssWATERMr1oNs I,'-This is the balmy season
of the year when the colored man gets fat.
Watermelons have come in from every quarter,
and are purchased at any price under dollar
OF over cent. From dewy morn to the small
hours Of night, Sambo eats and sighs, sighs
and eats, sighs and eats and sighs again. He
keeps his watermelons under his bed, and one,
the loveliest Of all, he takes for q pillow and
end dreams on:
"wish'love and juice at once oppressed,
The vanQuished victor sinks upon her breast!"
But sometimes, we blush to confess it, the
lavish favors of the divinity abate the fervor of
her worship. Yesterday, at noon, our ''house-
boy" was accosted by vendor of melons. "Oh,
20 long wild your watermelon" he cried; 81
done eat five already dis morninl" But long
ere night we heard the unmistakable gurgle
which indicated that the feast was renewed,
and our backslder had become deyout again.
And fur into the happy night the shrill suckle
of the vegetable shell, more musical to the
African ear than that Of Mercury, continued to
ring out until the festive serenade fairly put us
to sleep.
This morning, ,houseboy, cook and nurse look
as hungry and lank as ever. They are all on
the lookout for watermelons. Soon will they
return to their devotions, and
"Srke the golden Tyre again,
a louder yet. and yet louder strain"
P.'S.-HalS-past eight A. NJ. Nurse asks for
o dose of paregoric; complains that they had o
whole pile Of watermeons in the kitchen when
she was out visiting last night; wonders
whether another melon wouldn't make her feel
better.

Sweet the pleasure,
Sweet is pleasure after painl"
P.S.-Half-past nine A. NJ Houseboy comes
in with an immense watermelon on his shoulder.
With ravished eyes
The klichen sples,
Conceals its pain,
Forgiyes the lair
Who caused its care;
And grins and cuts, cuts and eats,
Eats and sucks, and sighs again.
