PROFESSOR BOND,
the famous tight-rope walker and Wlre-dancer,
dressed in fancy costume, brought up the
rear of the procession in an open carriage.
In this order the array moved up King street
In gallant style, and filing into Ann street TOOK
the train for the SchutzeDplalz.
TIE ARRIVAL AT THE PLATz
was announced by a salute Of twelve guns,
which doomed forth q welcome as the rifle
men descended from the train, and formed on
the green at the end Of the avenue. They
then marched up to the Platz, and entering
the gateway, covered with welcoming mot
toes, they formed o hollow square around the
speakers stand. On the platform had been
placed the canopy from The triumphal wagon,
and the little girls had also taken their place
upon it. The officers OF the three clubs mount
ed the platform, followed by the band, and
President Melchers then gave all and every
one o hearty welcome to the festival.
THE WELCOME.
President Melchers said:
Countrymen and Brother Schutzen-To make
long speeches / do not consider the object OF
| the Schutzenfest; we are assembled here
rather, under the free air of heaven, To enjoy
life, as we were wont 10 do In the dear old
| Fatherland; and 1t Is one of the most praise
worthy peculiarities of the German that,
| wheresoever he may choose his new home, he
| holds fast to all the dear old customs, and en-.
| deavors TO promote German good humor and
.cheerfulness. But must not omit 10 bid y0C
all a most cordial welcome in behalf of the
| Schutzen Gesellschaft, and can assure you
| that we shall make every effort TO make this
Fest pleasant to all our guests.
Addressing the Savannah Schutzen, he said
To our brother Schu!Zen of Savannah l tender

bond of. friendship may unite our societies

procession opened ranks, and emerging from
the heat and dust of Market street, the rifle
men stepped out briskly as they passed over
the well-watered pavement of Meeting street,
In front of the Charleston Hotel. At the head
marched
THE TARGET-Po1NTERs,
eight in number, clad in dark pants and red
shirts, and wearing black Scotch caps, with a
red rosette over the right eye. They stand
behind the shields In front of the target, and
with their white slaves, point out where the
bullet hits. They were followed by a wagon,
in which were five members Of the German
Rifle CLUB, bearing
q EAGLE.
The bird Is made of tough wood, and weighs
about thirty pounds. 1t is composed OF differ
emit pieces, firmly screwed together, and Is
doomed to certain immolation. 1t is shot at
daily, and each one who knocks away one OF
Its parts is entitled to a prize. The last part
remaining on the pole, usually the body, re-
uuires much drilling to detach 1t, aud who
ever brings 1t down Is the king for the mex
wear. Next in order came Beck's brass band
of eleven pieces, discourslng melodious
strains. The band has improved wonderfully
since The last Schutzenfest, and is now one Of
the most popular and skilled of the city bands

the mast, this morning. While the riflemen
are busy at the amusement OF the day,
THE CROWD
has been gradually increasing until the grounds
are covered with old gentlemen and ladies,
! beaux and bellies, and boys and girls, who pass
and repass under the trees and among the
booths, intent upon their various amusemenls.
/ Throughout the day, at intervals OF an bour,
the kissing and snoring of engines, followed
by diabolical screeches, announced the arrival
of the trains on the South Carolina Railroad,
and directly a long line Of painting visitors
would be seen coming up the avenue from the
cara. Mr.. Gates's omnibuses, and vehicles OF
every description, drawn by nondescript anil
mails that would have graced the yard OF a
soap factory, kept plying between Line street
and the gate of the Platz, and were constantly
discharglng their living freight. The weather
was dry, the shell road was covered with an
impalpable dust, and these travellers ION
| pleasure bent" as they entered the Platz, pre-
sented a ghostly appearance In their white
mantles of lime. Other visitors took the
Mount Pleasant boats, and laughed at the
lime and dust only to find themselves Victim
lied by the bloodthirsty assaults Of lnnumera-
BILE sand6ies. These minor Inconvenience,
however, only added q keener enjoyment to
the pleasures of the Fest, which soon made
the visitor forget his past ills. To describe the
appearance OF
THE GROUNDS
in detail would be almost impossible. To the
the visitor entering at the gate the spectacle
is no less picturesque than beautiful. In the
centre of the scene, and partly screened by
the tall pines, stands the main building, the
upper story of which is one huge dancing
hall, with a long piazza at the front and rear,
the lower story being used by the ladies, and
contains the hat-room, ommittee-roem and
the grand bar. On the left of this building
are nine spacious booths, which are about
forty By twenty feet in size. They have sub
stantial floors, single sheds, and are open at
the sides. The fronts are adorned with fila
gree work, flags, &C. The various tenants OF
the booths have furnished them nea tly, and
spread out their wares in attractive styles.

Reflect that II sound mind and body are the
most NECESSARY requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to the view, the mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF

\ Doc KILLS HIS MASTER AND Dies OF
GRIEF III From the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal,
Nov TO- old Peter Bean had been digger
Of wells in this locality for thirty years. His old
business, his labor and amusement consisted in
delving down into the bowels of the earth in
search of springs Of living water. He lived a
life Of loneliness aud cefibacy, and procured his
meals at Mrs. kenoras boarding house, on
Front street, between Market and Winchester.
lie was truly good old man. His firm and
last friend, his companion IN hours OF toll and
OF leisure, was large dog that was hardly ever
known to be absent from the side Of Peter. He
was cheerful, even happy character of quiet
and playful disposition, and when he worked
to use homely style of phraseology, "he
worked" No one knew how old Peter was,
aud nobody would even venture to guess at the
age of his dog His was sort OF perennial
youthfuluess The lapse of changeful years and
aud the yieissitude of things, had no senile ef-
feet on him. La the natural and regular course
OF thing there was every probability that he
would outlive couple more generations But
it was not so to be- He fell yesterday the vic
tim Of an accident which no foresight could
have anticipated, and no precaution arrested.
1t was in this way Peter was digging well
on Front street, not far from his lodgings He
had reached a depth of forty feet, and Was
still industriouSly delviDg in the earth,-
What his lonely thoughts down there in
that narrow hole were, is only known o
the angels that forsake not man, NO
matter into what cave or dark recesses he
may penetrate. His assistant on the surface
OF the earth, had just halued up bucketful of
dirt which was carried to some distance and
cmpticd out, and the bucket, detached from
the rope, as was usual lay on the edge of the
pit. Peter was below wiping his brow or cheer
fully delving, no one Knows what, when his
faithful dog, having got loose, rushed mady
about in search of his master. The vigorous
and excited animal bounded toward the pit to
bark down to his friend at the bottom, know
ing he would get friendly answer This en-
,husastic friendship Of the dog, proved the
death of the man. In jumping to the edge of
the pit he drove the bucket before him into
it. There was nothing heard afterward but
low, painful groan, a1d all was still below IN
the dark and narrow hole
When Peter was taken out it was found
that the bucket had split bis head 10 two.
lie died instantly. Justice Spelman held an
innuest in an hour or so afterward, aud the
Jury having become acquainted with these
facts, gave their verdict accordingly, laying
all the blame of the terrible accident on the
dog-the last creature on earth that would
have injured or allowed others to injure hair
of his master So great was the grief or atfilc-
,iou of the animal on finding that the cold
hand of Peter caressed him no more and the
voice of Peter failed to reply to his friendly
velps. that he lay under the dead mans couch
Yesterday and died himself 1t is a curious
and sad as curious-cpisode in life and death.
