A scoLD DEFMED. Everybody remembers
Webster's celebrated definition Of boil, viz. {:
"a circumscribed subcutaneous Inflammation,
characterized by a pointed pustular tumor,
and suppurating with a central core" The
Christian Register beats this out and out in
defining scold: 'ti
a scold are conscience and the critical faculty,
unmellowed by sympathy or any generous hu-
man love. A narrow, conscientious, bitter
critic makes o frst-rate scold. A male scold
has more anger in his voice; female scold
more complaint in hers. he seolds bitterly;
she enormously. To. the composition of the

= Mr.. EDrToR: The recent disclosures in
yous Journal respecting the papcisy ;pf
emhioy@ent for the young m& Of onr
city, and of the demand for mi sbhanics,
suggests the inquiry: Among tlie master
mechanics of this city, and in tie differ
ent Offices, factories, machine shops and
furnaces, what is the number of appren-
tices, or of young persons qualifying
themselves for the active duties of life,
white and colored? Aud it might be
added: The number of apprentices in the
dress making and millinery establish
ments, or other avocations suitable :or
females, white and colored. An answer
to these queries would throw much light
not only on the future of our young men,
but Of the destinies Of our city, and as to
the probability of their being controlled
by its present residents. X.

engaged in training up the colored boys

peared before Squire Cockrell and made
oath that Martin Thomas, colored, was
the father of n certain child, which she
then and there exhibited to his Honor.
Martin entered into bond conditioned to
maintain the child three years. The
irate mother was not satisfied, however,
but threatens to sue Martin for breach of

John A. Logan recently made speech
Mt Carbondale, Illinois. in which be said
the election of Lincoln ''caused the De-
mocracy to reel and stagger" Logan
opposed the election of Lincoln bitterly.
The Quincy Herald, in this connection,
says:
"The only Democrat that we saw that
.reeled and staggered was John A.
Logan, who was beastly drunk around
the streets Of Springfield threatening to
shoot Stephen A. Douglas because he
had taken ground in support of tho war. {"
John A. Logan is just as much a
genuine patriot rs the paste breast. pin
that the rascally fellow passed off on
poor Mrs. Lincoln was genuine dia-
mond.

The N1cKERsoN HousE.-A correspond
ent of the Boston Post, who has been on
visit to Columbia, writes az follows Of
this popular hotel:
This house is regarded as one of tbe
very best in the Southern country. Its
daily arrivals show that it is appreciated
by the travelling public. Evidently, the
best class OF travel quarters at the Nick
erson, and all speak in warm praise Of its
management. The location is among the
finest in the city
Messrs. r. & w. C.Swaffield announce
the opening of their fall and winter
stock of clothing and gentlemen's fur
nishing goods. Their assortment is va
ried, and in addition to the ready made
articles, they have the very latest styles
of piece goods, which will be made up ia
the very best style. The services of an
experienced French cutter have been en-
gagged and everything necessary for a
vigorous fall campaign has been secured.
Give him trial.
In connection with the recent terrible
murder in the sand-hills, it is but Just to
say that it was due to the promptness of
Magistrate Solomon and the energy of
Sheriff Frazee that the par tics who, by
the evidence before the Coroner's Jury,
were implicated in the affair, were ar
rested and locked up on Sunday last.
While searching for these parties, the
Sheriff was also looking out for an
escaped convict, and succeeded in get
ting possession of his cast!off clothing,
which was handed over to the Coroner.
Chief Radcliffe has since examined
Foster and Isom, and discovered bloody
evidences, which it will be difficult to
explain satisfactorily. It is little sim
gular that these persons were not search
ed before.
The sagacity and foresight of the She
riff in nrresting and detaining these par
ties. is the more to be commended, since
this further evidence has been obtained
against them.
