SOLD THEasELyEs.-We had a call from
Samuel Bowles, of Coal Town, th, morn,
ing, who informed US that anybody who
thought they were sold in attending his pri'
vate party, the other night, sold themselves.
He invited everybody, and stipulated with
no one that it would be a gratuitous enter
tainment. He AYERS, moreover, that there
was no sell intended on his part, and if any
one is made mercantile commodity of, it
Is himself, as the money collected did not
pay the expenses by forty dollars, of which
amount his treasury Is depleted. He said
'hey were invited to the unfinished building
intended Tor coal offices, etc., and it was
generally understood by them. He deemed
it an excess of hospitality to invite them
to his own house to have i, torn nm bv
q miscellaneous horde of lunch cd.
He says moreover that the circulator of N.
report that the party was invited to his
house was Just one mile from the truth Is
that is the distance from the new coal house
to his residence, and that it was q matter
generally understood that it was not to be
at his house Mr.. Bowles makes out a strong
case IN favor of the proposition, that those
who did go sold themselves of their free will

4 REM1NIscENcE OF BYRON.
His Visit to tho United States FrIgatc
Constitution, in 1s22.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
writes:
In 1874 I was lieutenant on board the United
States ship St. Louis, In the China seas, COM
manded by Captain Isaac McKeever, who one
day Informed ME in the course OF familiar con-
yersatlon that he was on board the frigate
Constitution, and officer of the deck and
watch, when Lord Byron visited the Constitu-
tion in 1922 He said Lord Byron was Very
much embarrassed by his reception, all the
officers being assembled on deck In full uni
form and the marines drawn up under arms
to receive him. Count Cambria, the father OF
the too celebrated Countess Gi,lccloli' accom-
panIed him. An elegantly bound volume OF
an American edition of his poems was lying
on the cabin table, which he examined, with
the remark that il was the handsomcst COM
plimcnt ever paid him.
At that time the pronunciation OF his name
was disputed in the United states, and Com
modorc jacob Jones, who commanded thc
Mediterranean squadron, of Which the Consti-
tuition was the flagship--a man of great SIM
plicity of character the direct question to
him spray, my lord, which is the more cor
rect pronunciation of your name-Be-ron or
Byron?" Lord Byron's reply, though not
direct one, settles the question as TO which he
favored. lie hcsitatcd q moment, said Captain
McKccvcr, and then said: my grandfather
called me Byron; my mother called inc By-roni
my guardian, Be-ron !'-lntoning his voice,
and speaking of his grandfather with pride, of
his mother with affection, but Of his guardian
with contempt Yet, Notwithstanding this de-
claration, have seen his name written In his
own handwritIng-elher on the walls of the
Bridge of Signs, or on 4 column Of the Temple
of Thescus at Athens, forget whlch-and
spelled Bcron or Bron. certainly not with o 9.
He remained full hour on board the Con-
stitution, and who. he left was escorted on
shore In the commodore's barge by Captain
McKceyer, then young lieutenant. AT the
landing, Lord Byron politely Invited Lieuten-
ant Mckccver to come and sec him, but With
this cantion-"I am not an carly riser"
Lord Byron mentions in his Journal or letters
that u lady begged rose from hinl-that lady
was Mrs. Smith, the wife Of our Consul ut
Smyrna, believe. She pulled the flower to
pieces, saying she intended leaf for each OF
her female friends, the admirers Of his lord
ships poems in America. The next day he sent
her volume Of Ills poems accompanied by .
note And it was in allrlsiOn to this visit
and its Incident that he wrote Tom Moore:
ale would rather have Il nol from an Anleri-
can than snuil.box from an Emperor" The
commodore offered to place o schooner Of the
squadron at his disposal to take him TO Greece,
wnerc he died, but he declined. At the time
of this visit Captain McKccvcr said he was
handsome and diStinguS, and his hair was
long anil curling, und he wore whiskers: His
hair was black, but generously sprinkled with
rr;ly and he was beginning TO he cOrpulent.

A Mammoth Establl7llmcnt.

Mr. Edward Cropsey makes an interesting
article in the Galaxy out OF the great "Tenth

of "A Monument of Trade.n Tho following
paragraphs which cmbody the most striking

The visitor soon finds that everything is
done on system perfectly organized and per-

to direct inqnirers to different departments,
for this store is really collection OF many dit-

In itself distinct establishment, having sl-

BOYS and portcrs; and the accounts Of each arc
kept separately, and the amount of the sales
of each Is daily male up. The average daily

ton Of law. Following this comes the most i'm
portant feature OF the remainder Of the session
the financial question; and it is almost safe to
say that both Houses will pass funding bill,
but will fix the interest not below five per cent.
They will also provide for free banking on coin
basis, but will not enlarge the present national
banking system. Next to the financial question
Is the bill to incorporate the Southern Pacific
Railroad on the thirty-nfth parallel, and the
Memphis and El Paso Road on more southernly
route. Tic former asks for land grants and no
subsidies OF money and the latter processes that
1t wants nothing but the right of way through

Congress grants any subsidies. The general am

Prince Arthur, Queen TlctorIa's third child, will
visit Washington next week as the guest OF the
English Minister, Thornton. Extensive prcpara-
tions have been in progress some time at the Brit
ISL Legation for the reception OF this scion OF
royalty, though 1t is understood that it Is not the
intention to make any public demonstration or
have any general ovation on the occasion OF his
arrival OF subsequent to it. He comes merely on
visit to washington and will remain but week.
or course he will call on the President, and In re.
turn will doubtless be invited to State dinner.
When his brother, Prince Albert, visited Wash
ington, ten years ago, he was very generally Jeted
by all whom he favored with his presence.
The fashionable season is in Its full flush, but
the rush is not so great as last winter, and, as
the result, 1t Is claimed that there is more style
and better people to make up the loss In atten-
dance. At the Presidents levee, the Speakers
receptions, and Secretary Fish's parties, people
can move about with case, and the ladies display
their toilcttes with some pleasure. Not so last

CORGO SUGAR AND REFINE ed
- SYRUP.

We would invite the attention Of Planters to
the consideration of some Of the advantages In
the cultivation Of SORGO as Crop, which are,
the small amount OF labor; the hardy character
OF the plant In Its ability to endure, without ma
terial injury, both drought and wet; Its freedom
from the attack OF worms; Its early maturing,
and the fact that the Seed and every part OF the
plant Is OF great value.
In consequence of the imperfect method
hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice OF this
Cane. there has arisen prejudice and the beiiel
that Sugar could not be produced, but only avery
inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery or the
Southern Process these opinions have been com-
pletely reversed In the minds OF ail those who
have examined and tested this Process, as they
realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the
best Chemical Syrups OF the Redneries. Is pro
duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New or
leans, in such quantity, as to make 1t without
doubt, the most profitable crop that can be plant
ed. or these facts abundant evidence can be
shown.
ANY Information on this subject can be obtain
ed by applying to Mr.. F. G. CART, Charleston, 8:

Agent, and who will be prepared to furnish pure
Imphee Seed and Machinery. Or to ourselves at
