THE WEATBER-While kilograms bring us
tldlngs OF dreary, cold and stormy weather at the
North, OF snow-drlfts frostbites and spears OF
Ice, we of Charleston are enjoying an atmosphere
balmy, inyigorattng and full OF sunshine. The
last TWO days have scarcely reminded us OF win :
ter. and the tourists in our midst who, week
ago, were wrapped in furs, are in raptures at the
change. Speaking of travellers, the bitter wealth
er above Baltimore has suddenly turned an lm-
meHse tide OF emigration southwark. Aiken Is
full OF people with tender lungs; Columbia Is near
ly overrun by persons en- route; Charleston is
thronged-two hundred guests, on Sunday, &C.

every nook and corner ln Florida, which seems to
have acquired fictitious reputation in contrast
with her Southern sisters, is overnowing. '1's an

The ADELAIDE PHILLIPS CoNCERr.-0ur
musical public will have an opportunity to.mor-
row evening OF .njoylng rare musical treat.
The fame Of the distinguished songstress has
preceded her, and the desire OF the few among US
who have heard her, to listen to her again, as well
as the impatience Of Others will not fall to secure
q universal attendance Of the appreciators of the
art. The following laudation, from the pen OF the
musical critic Of the New York Tribune, is not
overwrought:
To say that Adelaide Phillips Is the finest con.
tralto in America, Is to say nothing, Tor the rea-
son that on this side OF the Atlantic there Is no
competitors for her 1aurels. To say that Europe
does not possess her equal, Is to state facr. We
speak adYisedly, aud without forgetting Alboni
for one moment. For wealth OF voice aud eXecu-
ton, Marietta AlbOni Is Incompatible Therein
she stands without fear and without reproach;
but marvellous vocalist as Alboni Is, she Is much
better adapted to the concert room than 10 the
stage. Unweldy In appearance, totally devoid ol
kblty as an actress and sin .uarly deficient in
dramatic passion, she delights the ear leaves
nothing to be desired In point Of STYLE but never
appeals 10 head or heart. Therefore, We award
the palm TO our American consralto because,
thoughtless, wonderful as simple vocalist, her
unusual dramatic ability. her versatility, and her
mastery eXprs ssions, emlnently ft her for the
theatre, AMI, consequently, places her hlg her IN
the scale OF art.
Miss Phillips Is accompanied by several noted
artists-smeng them, Mr.. l. Levy, who is pro-
nounced the best cornet player In the world. The
Boston Traveller says Of his playing, that "the
like OF 1t has never been heard IN this country
and thus describes it:
His execution Is marvellous; he makes his in
strument sing such strains OF plaintive melody as
to make the heart weep; and the next breath
asronIshes by the most dazzling scales, cadenZas
thrills, and chromatic runs. Nothing can exceed
his rendering OF the -"Whirldwind Polka" ant
the Carnival de Vence;n the latter Is given VIII
all the variations written for the violin.

A DIVORCE 'A MESsA," AND QUARREL OVER
TIE "TuoRo."-An indignant coloreI female,
overcome with the trials and troubles OF being
united to and living with an uncongenlal spirls,
made her appearance yesterday afternoon before
one OF our trial justices, and took out q warrant
of arrest against her oneudlng lord, who followed
closely into the court. Giving her name rs Ann
Manigault, and Indignantly repudlating that OF
Lewis, which She hpl assumed at the hymenial
altar, she deposed thai her liege had vicious
habit or hitting out with his fist aud ningng
things at peoples heads when he got mad; and
that. looking forward to q separation, he had
appropriated two pictures and bedsteaa
which he had given her In happier times.
She then announced her intention OF I'M
mediately separating from him, and asked
that the property be given her as almony,
and he OF the heavy fist be bound over to Keep
the peace. Geels Lewis the husband, made no
demur to the latter request, nor to the returning
OF the pictures, but wanted to retain the bed, as
this was the only piece Of property he owned,
and In the event OF the threatened separation ne
woull have no place to lay his head and would
20 forth In the world with nothing but his clothes
A few symptoms OF making IL up on his part were
spurned with indignation by his relentless dame,
and he was told to choose between giving up the
bedstead and being bouud over for trial. He gave
IL up as bad JOB, and left to begin life alresh.

spring realized only SIPS, and the association
now wish to raise such additional means as will
enable them to have the bones OF our dead re-
moved to Magnolia before memorial day. The
removal from Columbia Of the Marble and granite
