T. This is the matter of fact way a
Yankee correspondent looks at the
Queens little court breakfast in Buck
ingham Palace Park: "On these occa-
sions the Queen walks about very smi-
ling and clipper, with white cap
that looks like French bonnet over
her head, and the widows weeds al
though lightened by suspicion here
and there of white lace or Grape. The
breakfasts take place in the afternoon
at four and half, and the ladies at
tend in costume gotten UP especially
for the occasion. they gossip and
chatter in groups on the sward, while
the gentlemen, in uniform, and stars
and garters, quiz them in highly ar
istocratic way, or discuss politics in the
arbors. The little Princess Of Wales,
in particular, is very lively and popu-
lar on these occasions, and has very
sprightly air which neither the well
known .'propriety" and haugbtiness of
her royal mamma, nor the indifference
of her big lazy husband seem to have
dampened."

THE LAST FAREWELL,
BY II. j. b

Come near to me, true wife
Come near to me!
Though nearly done with life,
Thou'rt dear to me.
So dear, l may not tell
The panSs my heart can swell
In bidding thee farewell,
My wife!
Come near to me, true wife;
Though soon to part,
Still canst thou soothe the strife
That tears my heart!
Thy gentle hands caEess,
Thy voice of tenderness,
Still, still, hath power to bless,
Sweet wife!
Come lay thy cheek to mine!
Come close to me 4 ~
I feel those arms of thine,
But cannot see!
Yet, Oh within my brain,
Through all this night of pain,
Thy spirit form has lain,
Dear wife!
Como near-come closer yet;
To thee I've chung
Through life since first we met,
When we were young:
And we shall meet once more, 1
When all these pangs are DER,
AS young-ay, younger than before,
True wife

~ We clip this interesting item
from London Exchange: "The
dramatic talent Of the inhabitants
of Upper Bavaria, which has gain
ed worldwide celebrity by means
of the passion plays of Oberammer-
gan, has been lately employed, in
one of the mountain Villages, to
welcome the returning soldiers.
The arrangements were very sim
pie. The people Of the village
formed a chorus, similar to that of
the classical tragedy. The return
ing soldiers, one after the other,
repeated poems, detailing the prin-
ciple event of the war, and at the
close of each the chorus sang one
of the popular songs Of the country,
which harmonized in feeling with
the impression made By the pre-
ceeding poem. The first scene re-
presented the departure of the SOL
diers from their home, and the last
their return to it. Between the two
lay the hard fought days from We
issenburg down to Paris and Or
leansrIhe idea originated among
the villagers, and was executed by
them alone"

The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1871-09-02

P. ]. Barbot resigned. The report of the va
rious ward committees were made, and show
that but three applications, two in Ward and
one in Ward /, for assistance had been made to
the board during the preceding twenty-four
hours. The society desires that all gentlemen
who wish to aid in this work would come
forward and join at once.
Good Rep prt from Ward 1.
The committee of the board of health. for
Ward No. l, have made thorough examina-
ton of their ward, and have found compare
lively few lots, cellars, &C., requiring atten-
tion, the ward being in very clean condition.
They could learn Of but one case of yellow
fever in the ward; indeed the general health
of the ward is excellent, there being but little
sickness OF any description.
A Long-Standing Nuisance.
The condition of Pitt street, between Mon
tague and Wentworth, is such as to invite the
presence of fever, cholera, or any other
disease. For months past, number of wash
erwomen have been In the habit of emptying
their refuse water into gullies in their yards,
through which it flows in streams to the
street. The middle of the street is lower than
the sides, and the water there collects In pools,
which grow putrid under the rays OF the sun,
and send forth pesliterous stencil, which
pervades the atmosphere far and near. The
cutters have repeatedly been cleaned by the
efforts of one of the residents of this street,
and for months he has been applying to the
Guardhouse, city inspector, health officer and
Mayor, but with no other success than per-
haps temporary cleaning up, which lasts few
hours. After one Of these 1t soon becomes as
bad as ever, and it Is now so offen-
sive that the streets opposite the pools
is scarcely inhabtable. Have we city in
spector or have we not The Mayor answers
that he has furnished US with temporary
one In the person of Alderman Collins, and 1t
is hoped that these cessIools will be among
the first fields which are to prove the clean
sweeping Of the new broom.
The Manhattan's Passengers.
We learn, by telegraphic advices from New
York, that the steamship Manhattan, which ar
rived at that city on Tuesday night last, was
permitted to send her passengers up to the
city on Thursday morning. Travellers will
note the trifling extent of this detention, and
all who desire to 60 North by sea will govern
themselves accordingly.
Beaufort Better.
A gentleman who left Beaufort on Thursday
informs us that there was, at that time, only
one case Of yellow fever IN the town, and that
came from Bull River. Beaufort is cleaning
up, and disinfectants are at premium.
ASpecimen Wnopper.
As specimen of the wild stories with which
people in the interior are regaled about the
fever in Charleston, We reproduce the follow
ing from the Columbia Union Of yesterday:
gentleman just from Charleston, and one
who ought to know whereof he affirms, states
that there were fourteen funerals to his know
ledge in that city yesterday. This would seem
to indicate wider range of the disease than
has yet been reported.
This is on a par with some of the Ku-Klux
stories Of the Union.
