great character OF Toodles personated in
a mastery manner on Saturday night
last. 1t wac as near nature as it is
possible to have anything come, and
was witnessed BY large and entbusias-
tic audience.
The actor evidently felt nervous and
uneasy for the pavement heaved and
tossed wildly, but after getting his coat
buttoned up and his hat firmly fixed on
the back Of his head, he said "Goo-ni-
boys I-er-go home" and started. He
struck out boldly with his right foot but
the left stubbornly refused to follow,
and he rested.
There can be no question but that a
sitting posture is the best for resting.
Therefore Toodles selected a sitting
posture, he wanted to rest His descent
was premature. 1t shocked him. 1t
was a schocking sight, he was SO
shocking tight. His suspenders broke.
So did a pint bottle illustrated with,
the portrait Of Pixies Peak miner
with pick-axe on his shoulder The
bottle was filled with vinegar or some
thing. The latter most probably.
He crawled to a lamp post, and by
is aid regained his feet, but not his per-
pendicular. He couldn't gain that I'M
til lie got his hat and got sober He
thought the lamp post was a friend.
He embraced it afiectionateE, "Bill,
he said, "Yongofeller, Bill. Hap New
Year, Bill. Take Egg Nogg."
At last he shaped his course again
and struck out on q B line for a stout
woman with a big basket, who was
coming down street at the rate OF ten
knots an hour-"ten knots is knot I'M
knotical, is it? A collision seemed in
evitable, but he luckily missed the
portly female by wide stagger i'll an
opposite direction.
His feet now seemed to have quar-
relied with each other, and while they
tried their best to keep up with the rest
of his body they tried to get as far away
from each other as possible. This is
embarrassing, for when the feet do not
work tremendously the body is able to
strike the ground like an overripe ap
pie
His locomotive apparatus needed re
construction. A duck-legged man,
thinking, perhaps, that "a friend in
need is friend in deed" offered to as
sist him, but Toodles daunted him with
an imperious wave Of the hand as he
said "mush bIiged (hic) but YOU mos
fernal tight, sir. You can stand 'sef,
sir, and grasping at the air with one
hand, he endeavored to reason the re-
fractory legs into place with the other.
The departing feat of his feet was to
suddenly break away from him, and he
instantly sat down on one ear. When
we last saw him he made full wheel,
barrow load, and was at the head OF
a funeral procession, consisting OF him
self and a colored brother, on his way
home

The New Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road,

Colonel R. R. Bfiagers, the president OF
the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, we mentioned q few days ago, has
concluded to continue his road from Colum-
bia, whittier he will soon run by the short
cut from Sumter, to Augusta. With o read
already in operation from Columbia to Au-
eusta, this must be considered bold stroke
He proposes to run an air line, as near as
the nature of the country admits, and thus
save from twenty to twenty-five miles over
the Charlotte Road, which runs to within q
few miles OF Edgefeld Courthouse. and ter
inmates at Graniteville. The new road will
thus have the advantage in distance and,
therefore, in time. For these reasons it
will doubtless have the greater share OF the
passenger trade, and most likely carry the
mail. AS to through business, neither ROAD
will break bulk in Columbia, and each will
carry lust whatever it can drum up at its
northern terminus. The route will so most
ly through section OF country hitherto un-
developed, tangential now and then with
the Charlotte and ndAugusta, and perhaps to a
slight degree Wleh the South Carolina Rail-
road. 1t may, therefore, reasonably expect
considerable local business, There will GER
tainly be lively competition in Columbia;
and Augusta bids fair to become one OF the
greatest railroad centres in the land.

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

No other people,on the face of the earth

erz. Everything is on the high pressure
principle The struggle for existence makes
large demands, and the haste to get rich
calls for stll greater drafts on the life and
nerve force Many OF our foremos. business
men die young. Our lunatic asylums are
crowded with the victims Of this unnatural
state of things. With every year this evil is
increasing, till just now it is attracting very
general attention in the Northern press
One reason for this is the timely appearance
of monograph on this subject by DR.. s.

life here, and partly to the effect OF climate.
The statistics which his notebook furnish

and wise man will hear and consider botq
sides before permitting himself to come toa
conclusion. In the several articles which
we have presented to our readers heretofore
on this subject, we have always dwelt on
the advantages which the new plan OF build
ing railroads presented over the old; and in
doing so we always based our arguments
upon what purported to be the opinions OF
experts. That doctors will differ has be-
come an established proverb. And it would
appear that engineers enjoy the same priVi-
lege. To the uniniliated, it seems strange
that a science based upon the indisputable
truths of geometry, and the unvaryins laws
of matter, should leave room for such wide
difference Of opinion as now meets US in re-
gard to the narrow-gauge railways.
The Railroad Gazette, the accepted organ
OF railroad men all over the country, in the
number for July 8, has an elaborate article
to show the futility Of the new scheme 1t
holds that much OF what is claimed for the
narrow gauge roads can be accomplished by
the present gauge, and that many other ad-
vantages claimed under the new style of
road will prove altogether visionary. It
concludes by admitting that "some very
sslight reduction in the cost OF building and
''equipping roads would result from narrow
'.ing the gauge, but contends that this gain
sis so very small, and the disadvantages re-
sssulting from it so very great, that the lat
"ter very much overbalance The saving in
sscost. Roads to do light traffic, ut slow
sspeed, can be built, equipped and operated
sat very nearly the same cost without the
"inconvenience of break OF gauge; will
stgive greater stability to the rolling stock,
sand has the enormous advantage in their
s'fayor that when the business which is de-
"veloped shall require it, the capacity OF the
''road can be gradually increased BY laying
ssheavier iron to replace that which is worn
s'out, and building larger cars and engines
(Which will lave greater carrying capacity" !"
This difference OF opinion among profes-
sional men must, from the nature OF the
case, be ere long settled. The subject is
one eminently practical, and admits OF these
, speculatons, pro and con, only during a
very limited period. Narrow gauge roads
are now being built, and every day brings
US nearer to a satisfactory and conclusive
solution of the problem. We shall await
the denouement with great interest.

The Columbia Union has the following
significantly worded editorial paragraph:
"Food for reflection to those who would 60
too fast in these parts may be found in the
brief report already received of the United
States census tables. OF the total population
of the United States therein set down at 3S,-
54s, ,ss7, there are but 4,s79,323 colored. The
number of Chinese is much larger than we are
apt to imagine, being $780,"

keep in his place and not carry his head
quite 80 high.

I rome and consulted the most prominent sur
peons of Scotland, England and France, In
order to obtain an opinion as to the practical
bility of cutting the ngament. The most skill
| full surgeons of the United States had previ-
ously decided that the risk would be too great
to Justify them in performing the operation,
and the foreign surgeons arrived at the same
conclusion. It was, however. decided that in
case of the death of one of the twins, the ope-
ration would have to be performed, but prob
ably with less risk to the survivor. The state
ment that one of the twins is dangerously Ill,
and that the other is in good health, is oppos-
ed to the general impression that the Siamese
twins, having the same emotions, feelings and
sensibilities, are also affected with the same
bodily maladies.
The Germans in Cincinnati do not coin
eide with the ''new departure" OF the Repuoll-
cans in enforcing the Sunday ordinances, and
have organized and pledged themselves to
give political support only to those who make
the abolishment of Sunday law the principal
issue of the future campaigns. The Chicago
Germans are following up the same line OF
policy. When the Germans Of San Francisco,
California, took the same position two years
ago, both Republicans and Democrats went in
on platform engaging to repeal the Sunday
law. The Democrats won, and redeemed
their pledge.
