HsAs Yesterday the weather was cold
the severest we have experienced this
season, and it has given us fortaste Of
things to comet is indicative of the
spirit of the month, if our weather.
wise friends are not sadly mistaken in
their calculations. But we suppose
everybody who knows anything knows
that cold, and snow, and rough wintry
weather is invitable, and although
some people are said never to profit by
experience, we confess to holding that
he who is able to provide against the
rigors of winter, and neglects to do so
deserves to suffer. AS for the poor,
and the poor we always have with us,
who live from hand to mouth, the cold
grasp should not freeze up our sympa-
thies for them, but should act sharp
reminder that we now have new and
imperative duties to fulfil.
The Humane Society, we understand,
is prepared to afford relief and assist
ance to those in want; but there are
many cases of restitution in our city
which are unknown to the ladies com
posing this Society. Let the ladies
walk about the city, make diligent in
quiry, and great good will result. The
ladies of Elizabeth are noted for their
Christian philanthropy and beneyolence
Last year the Society were unable to
expend all the money entrusted to their
keeping but we think with little ex-
ertion they can manage to dispense a
much larger sum this winter.

TOBACCO MONEY. "A hard working
man, returning from his days labor
with flower pot containing brilliant
fuchsia under his arm, was met by Il
fellow workman with good day, but
who at the same time made some light
remark about this propensity. They

reply of the other and it does me and
my wife good to look at en-" He

Dor replaced his short black pipe in

wardly said that this was portion of
his rum and tobacco money. He had
several beautiful plants and choice
chromos in his house and he knew
that his love of the beautiful cost him
far less than his neighbours love of to-
bacco. Then his gain was much the
greatest. The smoker would gain n
hot, dry mouth, fouli breath, yellow
teeth, sallow skin, dull eyes, drowsiness
and headache, eyenif he did not drink.
The other would gain the sweet breath
of the flower, and cheering presence of
the picture and gladden. his wife and
children by bringing them such beauti-
full things instead of being wished out

and disgusting spittle. He is not the

most refined and delicate tastes.

WHAT AN ENGLISH SNoB SAYS OF
AMERICAN WOMEN. The Rev. George
Rose, better known as Arthur Sketclley
of 9 Mrs. Browns fame, went some
time ago on professional visit to Ameri-
ca, and having lately returned to Eng
land, he has published his impressions
of the " Great Country in IA book that
is likely to be talked about this season.
Mr.. Rose is evidently not pleassl with
America and her institutions. and he
does not scruple to say so i'll the plain
est possible manner The following is
his opi ZION Of feinale bla t. in the
United States. 4 picture certainly little
likely to please our cousins Oar rad-
ers may he curious b learn il no.8ith
standing. The beauty of Am.r:ca,:
women, according to Mr.. Sketchley
has always been the me for the admi,
ration OF writers on America, and Ger
tainly there are many instances Of
beauty, especially in feature, to be met
with among them. Their figures are
bad, though their feet and hands are
frequently small. Beauty is, however
of short duration; the teeth aud hair
soon fail, though these are Of 50 little
consequence, as they can be easily re
placed and, for that matter so can the
complexion, though this by no means
successfully done. 4 clockwork arrange
ment to give the effect Of IL heaving
bosom is a charming device, and SO are
various paddings and stutfings to sup
ply natural defect. 1t is in her toilette
that an American belle is the most de-
cided failure; overdress is her weakness,
with sad want of taste in the selection
of both color and material The fact
is, that Americans who visit Europe,
and go to Paris for their ideas Of dress,
fall into a very natural mistake. Being
in the French capital when the best
style of people have left it, they take
for their models the most conspicuously
attired females they see in the streets
and other public places, and dress after
theirstyle. tits really startling to walk
in the most wealthy quarters of New
York, and see the over-done dress of
both young girls and married women.
At church you witness such display Of
vulgar fnery as must lead you to the
conclusion that the wearers have few
other opportunities of showing their
clothes. As rule American women
haye very disagreeable voices, and ex-
ert them in speaking far beyond what
is required of them in an ordinary
apartment. There is an unpleasant in
tonation very prevalent among them,
though many of them sing remarkably
we'll as far as the voice is concerned.
They are generally vivacious, and seem
to enjoy anything approaching what in

A New YORK BEGGAR.-A New Y DIRK
correspondent of Western paper
writes as follows For ten or twelve
years there used to be on Broadway,
between Fulton and Ann streets, an
old beggar without legs, who moved
himself along upon his hands. He
wore leather mittens, and used to
swing himself back and forth on the
sidewalk, and could really move very
rapidly, considering the absence of his
legs. I used to drop him pennies
nearly every time l saw him, and he
appeared to thrive in shower of cop
per coins During the second year of
the war he mounted tatiered uniform
and appeared in the character of dis
abled soldier. ! presume the change
paid him, but for one never dropped
him any loose change after he made it.
I have not seen him for two years or
more, and don't know but he has re-
tired with fortune.
That beggar, says an exchange, who
was quite a character in New York, was
known to be worth many thousand dol
lars He used to sit with hat in hand
to receive the pennies of the charitable
and when demonstrated with by those
who knew him, he would reply with
an oath that he never asked for money,
and if people We're fools enough to give
no reason why he should refuse it.

On Tuesday afternoon, persons in
vicinity of the New-Jersey Central
Railroad, at Crawford Station, enjoyed
q most exc iting spectacle, furnished
by the Company at a considerable ex-
pense for cars and locomotives. A
frieight-train had stopped at the
station, and was engaged in switcing.
In the very midst of the operation,
while the partially made-up train was
on one track, and the locomotive on
another, coal-train was discovered
coming down the grade from the West
at an extraordinary, and, for freight
trains, unlawful speed. The little
army of brakemen appeared utterly I'm
able to check its momentum the en-
gineer and fireman, with great skill
and expedition, detached themselves
from their locomotive, as did also the
engineer aud fireman of the freight
train, which lay in the path of the APP
preaching mass Of coal. The two ma
chimes came together with fearful
crash, and were both thrown from the
track and terribly shattered, and al
most buried beneath the flying anth-
racite and demolished cars. 1t took
hard work nearly all night to clear the
track sufficiently to permit the passage
of trains. The grandeur of the sight
was not marred by any injury to living
creatures.

DEPARTURE OF Hon. REvERDY JoHNsoN.-The
Hon. Reyerdy Johnson, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipoI entiary to the govern
ment OF Great Britain, sailed from this port
on Saturday, in the steamship Baltimore, Of
the Baltimore aud Bremen Line, for South
ampton, England. Over three hundred Of his
iellow-citizens and personal friends, including
many ladies, accompanied our distinguished
townsman down the river, returning by the
steamer Chesapeake, which had been engaged
for the convenience OF the occasion. The pro-
ceedings on board the Baltimore were Of q
very interesting character. Mr. johnson, in
his farewell remarks, expressed the belief that
he was on q mission Of peace, and that q firm
and enduring peace with the British Govern
ment would be the result if he was able to
carry out the spirit of his instructions Baron
Won Gerolt, the Prussian minister at Washing
ton, in response to complimentary sentiment
offered by Mr.. Johnson, expressed the firm
friendship OF his government for the American
people. An eloquent par.rng address was
made by Ex-Governor Bradford. The ovation
to Mr.. johnson on his departure was quite un-
precedented. No foreign minister ever left
our shores with the same ectdt, or whose ap-
pointment inspired the same confidence
throughout the country in his ability and fit-
ness for his prominent mission at an impor-
tant crisis in the relations between the Two
countries, and the same buoyant hopes OF it's
successful result. This manifestation Of the
respect and good wishes of his fellow,citizens
and friends, so enthusiastically exhibited on
the occasion Of Saturday, cannot fail to be O
source of qualification to its distinguished re-
cipient and must, indeed, have its significance
even on the other side Of the water. Mr..
johnson is accompanied to Europe by Mrs.
johnson and his son, the Secretary of Lega-
ton, Edward johnson. .-BGhlnaore SIN.

HIGHLY INTERESTING ACCOUNTS OF THE Do1NGs
IN THE IEe1s1ATuRE-THE PROPOSED DILL
SPECIAL TAx-THE DEBATE ON THE REDuc-
T1oN OF THE BoNps-THE VOTE, &C.
[FaoM OUR OWN REpoRTER.]
COLUMBIA, August 9.-The Legislature to-
day has again given evidence of the ease with
which few men outside OF tne body can move
the majority in it. Not Whipper with all his
bold eloquence, Bozeman with his shrewdness,
or Ransier with his adroit ess, could make an
impression. The bill RED, ng the bonds Of
officials passed the House; the Treasurer, who
was chiefly the cause OF antagonism, triumph
ed, and before these lines reach your readers,
the bill will probably become law. The de-
bate was characteristic. It elected, on the
one hand, the views of those who consider the
welfare Of the State as at least equal to the
benefits that may accrue to their party; and,
on the other, brought out from jackson, who
belongs par excellence to tho travelling COM
munity, the admission that he was too good
Republican to leave one of his comrades In
the lurch no matter how much public credit,
''or any other man, might be impaired.
&C. DeLarge also signalized himself as the
organ Of the Committee of Ways and Means,
by reporting adversely upon the proposition of
Joe Crews. Of Laurens, to tax the people of
Kershaw District, five hundred dollars annual
ly, for the support OF the widow of s. G. W.
Dill. DeLarge sustained the views of the
committee in brief but able speech, in which
he must have satisfied the extremists, of which
Crews is the most perfect type, that they can
