But few disorders involve greater suffering, and,
If not In itself Immediately dangerous, it ts the
source of many deadly maladies. Even If 1t did not

der Company, in Wentworth-street, presented

equalled. The forty-second anniversary was
celebrated in the same style that has always
characterized the annual meetings Of firemen,
and though the company had changed their
organization, they remembered that they were
still members of the department, and the sue
cess of the new machine was toasted in re-
peated ibations. collation. had been pre-
pared in the large hall Of the company, and
the members and their invited guests soon
caused the choice visnds to disappear before
their vigorous attacks. At the business meet
ing, in the early part Of the evening, the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
JAMES c. LACOSTE, Foreman.
T. L. DAVIDSON, Assistant Foreman.
h. WEBB, Treasurer.
GEORGE NOLAN, Secretary.
M. ]. DUNNOVANT, Hall Keeper.

lence Of the company, they had doae some
thing after all, for theirs was the credit Of
having first introduced the use Of the steam
fire engine, without which they WOULD now re-
gard fire as altogether beyond their control.
He concluded by referring to the warm in
terest with which he had always supported the
views Of the Fire Department in the City
Council.
The next toast WAS, "The Day We Cele-
brate," which was followed by ''Ths Phoenix
Fire Company" which WAS responded to by
President Holmes.

made for Captain Dawson, of the Daley NEWS,
who made an appropriate response.
'sThe Health of the Rev. W. B. Yates, called
that gentleman to his feet, who drew a striking
parallel between the mariner and the fireman
facing, as they did, respectively thu perils OF
fire and the deep.
Subsequently, MIR. W. Knox offered the fol-
lowing toast, which WAS received with grand
applause:
Our Guests of lte Fire Department Of The
City of Charleston: With 'tP-oneer" IN
"CharlestOn, may we ever nope TO nave I'LL
eye as s'vigilant" as the eagle" TO the inter
ests OF our dear palmetto" State, and may
we always revere the memory OF cur revolu-
tionary hero, 'Marion." ''Young america" Is
proud of her "German" element, aid eBteems
her "Washington;" therefore, We trust that no
valcanic "Etna" may ever disturb the harmony
Of feeling that should exist amongst us, for
we should, like 'tPhoeni1" rising from the
flames with renewed energy, battle with the
destructive element discord, and stand firm as
the ''Stonewall" in the discharge of duty.
Song and sentiment were then taken in sue
cession, and the night closed as one Of the
happiest that had ever been passed by even
the jovial members Of the Charleston Fire
Department.

UNITED STATES OFFICIALS AT THE SOUTH IN
DANaER.-The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Advertiser, writes under date Of
January 5th ''No charges are on file in the
Treasury Department against internal reve-
nue. collector Hopkins, just suspended from
Office at Savannah. The charge at the White
House is perjury in taking the test oath when
entering upon duty. His removal was procur-
ed by the District Attorney, and the real rea-
son for turning him out is believed to be that
he has been elected member Of the constitu-
tional convention of Georgia, and accepts the
position. This belief leads TO some apprehen-
sion among the friends OF Collector Sawyer, of
Charleston, who is delegate to the South
Carolina Convention
