WAR MAps.-Thc breaking out of the
war between France and Prussia hap
pened but few weeks ago, yet already
the market hns been flooded with maps
claiming to give all the strategetical
points necessary to n full understanding
of the situation. All the great Northern
dailies have largo maps inserted in their
pages, and it seems as if there ought not
to be any further trouble in finding the
positions of the opposing armies. We
have received from Mr.. L. Lloyd, the
American map publisher, of 80 Cortlandt
street, New York, large and very COM
plete 'War Map of Europe" From
England to Egypt, and from the NIediter-
ranean 70 the Baltic Sea, can be seen and
comprchended at almosta glancc. Every
point Of interest is distinctly marked,
and no difficulty is experienced in trac-
ing the retreating aud advancing lines
These maps are useful to those who de-
sire to watch events as they transpire
during the war, and we would advise all
who are fortunate to become possessed
of one to take care of it. The price is
so cents plain; S1.25 mounted and var
nished.
PuGN1x1ANA.-We have been request
ed by the Superintendent of Water
Works, Mr.. S. W. Hook, to say that the
water will be shut off from Richardson
and Taylor streets, this morning, from 8
o'clock to 10.
The fremen complain that they are
crowded and prevented from working rs
eiIectually rs they might, if they had
little moro elbow room. The yelling
and whooping of illcrs and loafers at
the FIRE on Saturday night, was abso-
lutcly disgraceful, and calls loudly for
interference on the part of the police.
The latter, too, should be out in force, to
prevent n repetition of hose-cutting,
about which several companies complain.
The hose, at best. is in very bad conli-
ton, and the attention of our city fathers
is called to it,
The Scotch pronunciation of summer
is not far out of the way this season
simmer.
George Higgins. Esq.-agent of scve-
raj first class insurance companies-has
furnished lis with II map of the seat of
war, issued by the "Phenix Fire." of
Brooklyn.
There are two reasons why some peo-
pie don't mind their business. One ie,
that they haven't any business; and tho
second is, that they would have no mind
to bring to it if they had. This kind of
humanity is as common rs three meals
day.
On the 10Th, there was shipped per
express from Ridge Spring, on the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad,
one bale of new cotton, only eight days
behind Alabama's first shipment This
bale was raised by Mr.. L. S. Williams,
IL young man about eighteen years old.
The Post Band has returned to Colum-
bia, and the concerts in tho Park,
Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, will
be resumed.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that the
Empress Eugcnie will run away from
France, if only to oblige the chap at the
other end of tho Atlantic cable. He has
been insisting upon it for three weeks.
