A SIX ETott or "Josu BILLINGs." -
Mr.. Shaw is certainly quito as ugly
as "Nasby." In many Of his arti-
clcs in broken English he surpasses
all who have tried that class Of writ
ing. But to fully appreciate him,
one must sec and know him. lie
is about forty-cight years old, and
is the quaintcst specimen Of human
ity with which we have ever met.
Five years ago he was an auction
eor in Poughkecpsie, N. Y. lie has
since moved to New York city,
where he keeps n clearinghouse
amused by his irrepressible oddities.
AS he passes down Broadway he
cannot escape observation. His
broad, bent form, his immense hat,
and his large, oagle-like features,
arc always noticeable.
His weakness is for chewing to-
bacco and telling stories. There is
no such story teller in the land
Such quaint, laughable yarns as he
can spin are not easily put in print.
The only Longing place he has is
at the Office of the New York Week
~, for which paper he contributes
weekly articles. When the lecture
season is at hand he sends out Il hui
morous prospectus.
lie makes from SO, 900 to $1,000
year from his lecturing, and as
much more from his newspaper
work. Always cheerful and genial,
always witty and yet kind, he is
liked exceedingly by his circle of
friends. Perhaps some of our read
ors will remember the publicity that
was given littlo time ago to the
marriage of one of his daughters,
whose beauty had become notorious.
She was as handsome as he is ugly.

OUR GREAT MEN ARE RAPIDLY PASSING
AwAY.-We well remember going into
the Senate Chamber in the summer of
1850, and there seeing the distinguished
men OF the land. There was Seward on
the extreme Whig right, to his left sat
Clay, two seats further on Berrien; over
there was the Senator from Missouri,
Benton. Cass was there, and JEFF. Davis,
Sam. Houston, Rusk, Pearce, Dayton,
Badger, Soule, Butler, Ewing, Clemens,
Bell, Mangum, w. r. King, Phelps, and
Hunter. Webster had just Quilted the
Senate to take the post of Secretary of
State, and Crittenden was in retirement.
Seward is now advanced in years, Hun
ter may survive for some time to come,
jeff. Davis is abroad, where he will pro-
bably die, Soule is lunatic, supposed to
have become 80 because Of the effects
produced by the war, while Badgers
powerful intellect has been for years
clouded. Ewing still lives, though his
influence is gone. The others have left
US to render an account of their steward
ship before the Eternal Among this
bright galaxy, there were few greater in
tellects than Bell. He was man of con-
servative tendencies, of clear understand
ing and profound thought. Besides, his
character was spotless. His peers were
few, indeed. And while on this point,
1t may be safely said that there is not
man in the Senate house to-day of abili-
ty equal to either of the distinguished
names we have mentioned. Fessenden
was the brightest light of the present
Senate, and he is gone. The Magnus
Apollo is Sumner, who is as unlike the
great Senators OF twenty years ago, as
peacock is unlike an eagle. He makes
show OF words, seemingly fine parade;
but there is nothing lofty, grand. or
comprehensive in his mind or character.

AFRICAN VI1LA1NY FoInED AND Pun
IsHED.-One day last week, gentleman
living in Limestone County, Alv., was
called from home on business, to be alb
sent two days. About night-fall of the
day of his departure, two travellers
stopped at his house and asked permis-
sion to remain over night. The lady OBJ
jected, alleging as reason that her
husband was absent, but, upon being
assured that the applicants were gentle
men, finally consented that they should
remain. Late in the night there was a
loud knocking at the door, which aroused
the lady rs it did also her guests in m.
other part of the house. Upon opening
the door she was seized by five masked
men and dragged into the yard, with
evil intent. At this moment the guests,
who had approached the door unper-
ceived, fired, killing two of the assail-
ants, and the other three Immediately
fled. The corpses, upon unmasking,
were found to be negroes.

Rest for tho Weary.

The Nickerson House, in Columbia, S.
G., is too favorably known to the public,
to need any putting. The beautiful yard,
the quiet order that prevails, nice. clean
rooms, make it one of the most desirable
places for weary, tired travellers to rest
at The fare is good and servants atten-
tive. It is worthy Of the name Nicker-
son, who has made himself celebrated in
the hotel ine-who now has one of the
best and most elegant hotels in Savan-
nah-the Screven House. The right
man in the Wright place has the Nicker-
son House. Call and see.

Caesar Gurley, an aged and respectable
colored man, who has resided in Colum-
bia for many years, ventilates himself
thusly:
[ have no fault against the aristocrati-
cal people. I take no claim with any
party, either Republican or Democratic;
my claim is the people at large; it is the
poor that cling to; my remarks are for
no ill-feeling or ill-will; the great indus
try is between the rich and poor man; I
believe the rich man is just as indus
trious as the laboring man; when the
rich man places his five cents against the
laborer's bone and sinew, let him share
with him equal; say this to my own
people of the South-not to any one
who came across Mason and Dixon's line.
In regard to the people, feel that the
people of the South should hold Office as
we'll rs the people of the North; if you
take into consideration you SEQ that we
con live together without ill-feeling or
ill-will. did not ask the advice of any
person, but it is just my own feelings; I
am one who was born and raised in the
South, and I love my people of the South !;
want the voice of my own people as
we'll as Of the people that now hold Of
noes; am not craving riches, but only
wish to God that was able to assist the
people who now stand in need. I must
say that the people of the South were
cultivated behind the letters, and the
laborers was cultivated in the soil, to
make great luxuries for them. Please,
if I give any offence to the people OF
the South at large, beg them to excuse
me. L thought it proper to have my
conversation with my own people in the
South-the laborer and the mechanics.
This great speculation is on the laborer
and mechanic. I hope the people at
large will try to put stop to that specu-
lation. do this because have planted
largely myself this year; because see
the disadvantage to the laborer. have
no more to say, but remain, respectfully
yours, CESAR CURLY.

The Florida Indians were in council
last week, near the Big Cypl ess, for the
purpose of selecting chief in the place
Of Tiger Tail, who some time since COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself, and
for the purpose of selecting delegate
to represent them in the State Legisla-
ture. There are the remnants of three
tribes, Seminoles, Tallahassees and Mic
cosukies, represented in the council,
each having IN aspirant for the chief
ship; but the Miccosukies are the most
numerous. and it is supposed that the
chief will be selected from that tribe.
The Tallahassees, who live on the head
waters of Peace creek, have dwindled
down to thirty, all told, six of whom are
warriors; and the Seminoles are fast
being incorporated with the Iiccosukies.
There are not more than 125 warriors,
including all males upwards of sixteen
years of age, now remaining in Florida,
of the once powerful tribes which, for
seven years, defed the authority of the
United States.
