Josh Billings on Bed-Bugs.

never see ennybody yet but what
despised bed-bugs. They are the
meanest ov awl crawling, creeping
hopping, or biting things.
They dassent tackle man bi dalite
but sneak in, after dark, and chaw
him while he IL fast asleep.
A musketo will fight you in broad
dalite, at short range, and give you a
chance tew knock at his sides-the
flea is game bug, and will make a
dash at you even in Broadway-but
the bed.b bug il a garroter, who waits
till you strip and then picks out
mellow place to eat you. Jl1 dI4
If | waz ever in the habit of
swearing, l would not hesitate to
damn bed-bugg right tew his face.
Bed-bugs are uncommon smart
in a small way-one pair ov them
will stock hair mattress in 2 weeks
with bugs enuff tew last small fami
ly whole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray
when bed.bugs are in season; the
only way tew git rid ov them is tew
bile up the whole bed in aquafortis
and then heave it away and buy
new one.
Bed bugs when they have grone
aul they intend to, are about the size
of bluejay's eye, and hav brown
complexion, and when they start out
to garrote are az a greese spot, but
when they git thru garroting they are
swelled up like a blister.
1t takes them three days to get the
swelling out ov them.
If bed bugs hav emmy destiny to
fill, it must be their stummuks, but it
seems to me that they must have bin
made by acksident, jest as slivvers
are, tew stick into sumbody.
If they waz got up for sum wise
purpose, they must hev took the rong
rode, for there kant be euny wisdom
in chawing man aul mite long, and
raisin family, besides, tew foller the
same trade.
If there IL sum wisdom in aul this,
| hope the buggs will chaw them foxes
who kan see it, and leave me be, be-
kause | am one Ov the hereticKs.

NThe letter of the LaM.n

from The ~ Y. Nation.
The extent to which words help to confuse
thought has rarely been better illustrated
than in the history of the discussion now rag
Government to its creditors. The necessity
under which it found itself in the early part
OF the war of leVying forced loan, by making
its promissory notes "legal- tender" " not un-
naturally caused those notes to be spoken of
as money" They do now, and have for six
years past, served the purposes of money, but
real money" in the generally accepted
sense of the term, they are not. They are
promises to pay mOney-prOmises which the
Government every day violates by falling to
pay-and they owe their value TO the belief
that some day it will pay; and in the mean
time there is a heavy discount on them, as
there is on all doubtful paper. But the mere
habit of calling them "mouey," and using
them as money for even five years,

THE ORAToRIo AT ST. PATRIoK's CHUECH.-
The Oratorio last night may be said to have
been triumphant success, and the church was
so crowded that the proceeds will doubtless be
a substantial aid to the indefatigable gentle
men who have the church in charge. Carlo
mis- Kyrie, with its quaint movements and ef-
fective though abrupt transitions, was sung
with huency and force. Florentinis solo for
soprano was next sung, and was follower by
the Et in terra par, which was probably the
gem of the evening. In tho second part the
Qui ,oll,s was rendered with great accuracy
end striking effect. a Tdatuns Ergo was Civ
en- in place of Cartoni's Trio, and the Oratorio
ended with the Quoniam, which is rich in har-
mony and power. The music throughout was
exceedingly difficult, and its execution reflects
much credit upon the performers. The lead
ing soprano sang with the sweetness and neat
ness OF execution for which she is celebrated,
and the soprano singing in the Tt,aiun Ergo
was worthy of praise. The leading tenor sang
with striking precision, and added greatly to
the success of the evening. The chorusses
we're full and accurate. and the whole music
was as new 10 the hearers as it Was graceful,
brilliant and handsomely delivered.

TIE TuEArnE.-The good people Of Charles
ton will have no cause 10 complain Of dearth
of amusements this winter, as Manager Tem-
pleton is determined to make every effort to
please, and his success is not predetermined.
He has made arrangements with several dig
tincuished actors from New York, and his
tronpe will be one OF the best that has ever ap-
peared before Charleston audience. Asconic
artist has been engaged, and the entire stage
paraphernalia will be cn.arscl and improved
before the grand winter opening. The Nano
sisters, who are undoubsed favorites, Will con-
tinue to fill the principal positions, III which
they will be ably assisted by the Northern ac-
tors. The minslrels and the circus have 10
cause to regret their visit to Charleston, and
it remains to be seen if the legitimate drama
will not be as well supported by the pleasure
seekers. Mr. Tompleton is now arranging for
the exhibition of Mazeppa unler canvas, and
will form combination with Lowandes Circus
for this purpose at au early day. The play to-
night is one that has always proved favoritc,
and deserves full house.

TOTHE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
1t has gladdened tic hearts Of many Of your
readers to learn the action OF the Central Cub
at the meeting last night. Their preamble
and resolutions exactly meet the present state
of affairs in our city. Political principles arc
in no way involved in our Municipal elec ions,
and the suggestions 81 the Central Club, that
citizens irrespective Of political bias should
meet on Monday night for the nomination Of
citizen cand dates, is emnently proper.
With candidates who represent the intelli-
gence and property Of our city, and with the
exercise of that energy, earnestness and hearty
cooperation which the occasion demands from
every man having al heart the prosperity and
best interest of Charleston, there is no reason
why we should not elect the candidate of our
own choice.
Our time is short and our work plentiful; and
the thorough organization Of the forces already
in the field teaches the imperative necessity of
prompt and Jealous action on our part.
If the Wards at their meeting on Monday
night will secure efficient members for an Ex-
ecutive Committee, who shall be charged with
oil the details OF the coming election, and see
to it that the trust is confided only to cncrge.-
ic, skilful hands, the result of the coming 0Iu-
nicipal election will prove, unless we have
greatly m:siudged OAR people, that we have not
forgotten our past, and are not yet willing to
transfer our city and its vital interests to the
tender mercies of itinerants aud strangers.

To Tie Citizens Nominating Contention:
At time like the present, when the nccessi-
ty for having candidate for Mayor to repre-
sent the people at large is apparent to all, it
behooves US to make such q selection rs will
unite all conflicting interests and soothe all
political differences. Captain Henry Gerdts,
one of the late Board OF Aldermen and we'll
known merchant on East Bay, is fully capable
of filling the responsible position of Mayor.
He possesses the respect and esteem OF all
who know him, aud is the man for The times.
If elected he would seek only the city's good,
and would prove acceptable to every
TAXPAYER.

His circus is no humbug, but comprises the
best talent in the profession and the finest col

have been procured at great expense from al
parts of the globe, and form one of the most
interesting features in the entertainment. The
acting of the clowns, the feats Of agility, and
the equestrian skill displayed are perhaps un'
equalled, and combine to render this circus
one OF the greatest of travelling shows.

VI boat building, the new pilot boat Neca. y
which has been lying here since her launch
receiving the finishing touches Of the ioiners,
painters and riggers, departed yesterday
morning for Savannah to take part immedi-
ately in active business competition with the
other pilot bouts at Tybee. The "Neca, while
at her berth, has attracted numerous visitors
who have all admired her beauty Of model and
elegan. cipper-ike appearance. Her me-
chanical work, in all departments, does great
ere lit to the experts who have ben engaged
on her, and the enterprise of Capt. Usina is
entitled to praise for his commendable pat
ronage of home work, by which we think ho
has secured boat which, while she will at-
tract general notice for her faultless appear
snce, will be found em;neutlv successful in
her general suitability to the business for
which she has been constructed.
