MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL.

A regular meeting of Council was held last
evening at the usual hour. Present-The
Mayor, and Aldermen o'Neill, Bowen, Gage,
Kenpy, Michaels, voigt sweegan, Glover,
Johnston, Moran, simonds, Pelzer and Sig
wald.
The clerk having annouaced quorum, the
Mayor asked if it was the pleasure of the
Council that the minutes Of the last meeting
be read.
Alderman Pelzer said he hoped that the
reading of the minutes would be dispensed
with. Since their last meeting they had sut-
fered serious loss in the death OF their able
brother alderman, Colonel James b. Taylor,
aud he had series OF resolutions which he
wished to offer previous to the adjournment.
The reading having been dispensed with,
Alderman Pelzer offered the following
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, In the mysterious providence OF
God. our esteemed and honored colleague,
Colonel James n. Taylor, has been suddenly
and unexpectedly removed from the sphere OF
his usetut labors; and, whereas, IL IS meet
that we should give expression to the feelings
which so painful an event cannot tail to pro-
ResoIued, That this Council unafectedly de-
plore the loss of one who, In his too brief as
sociatlon with them, merited for himsef their
cordial regard, and impressed them by the
fidelity and ability with which he represented
the interests of this community.
Resolved, That this Council hereby tender to
the bereaved family Of our deceased colleague
their respectful coincidence under dipensa-
tion which has plunged them Into profounde5t
grief.
Resolued, That memorial page Of tho Min
ute Book OF this Council be inscribed with the
name and date Of the death of our deceased
colleague, and that copy OF this preamble
and these resolutions be sent to the family Of
the deceased, and be published IN the daily
papers.
Alderman Sweegan spoke upon the resolu-
tions, and said this was the second time they
had been called upon to perform this melan-
choly duty. The subject of the memorial had
always been characterized by promptness In
thedischarge Of bis duties, and an earnest inter-
est in all matters relating to the welfare of the
city. AS member of important committees
the valuable services of the deceased we're ac-
knowledged by all with whom he acted, and
1t was, indeed, unfortunate. that his official ca
reer had been so short. His sole object SEEM
ed to have been the prosperity and welfare
of Charleston. Of him it could not be
said that he was no friend to the
poor, for he used his every endeaVor
to better their condition, of which no better
illustration could be furnished than the earn
estness with which, as president of the How
ard Association, he carried out all plans for
ministeriug to their wants and slleviating
their suferings. His loss could not but be
deeply felt, and 1t would be long before his
place could be adequately filed. He had
been transferred 10 the Council above, whence
his departed spirit would watch and guard
their deliberations.
The resolutions were then put and unan!-
mously agreed to.
On motion Of Alderman Simonds, Council
then adjourned until next Tuesday evening.

The English Comedy Company at the
Academy OF Music.
The uninvlting weather last evening OF
course had marked effect in diminishing the
usual attendance at the Academy of Music;
but 1t is eminently creditable to the Wyndham
Company that they produced the comedy Of
s'stlll Waters Run Reep," and the sparkling
afterplece, with as much spirit, conscientious
care and success as If the house had been
crowded from pit to dome. 1t Is but just to
say that we have had no dramatic entertain
ments of late which could compare in sustain
ed excellence and uniform finish with the fne
old comedies that are now nightly brought out
on the Academy boards. 1t is the general yer
dict of all who have seen the company that its
merits are worthy of especial recognition and
patronage on the part of all seekers OF refined
and elevatlng amusement.
Tonight we are to have the serio-conic
drama of "Milky White"-anoveltyi in Charles
ton-with a lively farce at the close. We trust
that there will be full house. We are re-
quested to state that the street cars will be run
after the performance is concluded, enabling
those living at distance 10 reach their homes
conveniently.

Yankee Trick.

Afew days ago, q well known shin
broker Of Boston related an incident
Of his business experience. A man one
day entered his Office with letters OF
Introduction, proposing to charter 9
vessel to proceed 70 COatZacOalcos
river, in Mexico. He produced chart
Of the river, pointed out the exact spots
where dyeYood would be found, and
gave much interesting information
in regard to the country and its produc-
tiOns, showing an intimate aequain-
tance with the business in hand. He
remarked that If the first cargo Of wood
brought here should sell at a profit she
would want to charter several vessels
for the UTade.A bargain was accordingly
made with him; he was furnished q
vessel, in which he took passage and
she proceeded to her destination. On
arriving in the river where the cargo
was expected to be found, the dealer
in dyewood landed and immedi ateIy
struck for the woods, disappearing
before the eyes Of the Captain, and
never was seen afterWard. The truth
was soon made apparent. The fellow
being short of funds, and desiring to
reach that country, which he evidently
had visited before, had resorted to one
Of the best concocted plans ever
matu.ed by rogue TO obtain a free
passage.

10 How n Was bone.

The following little anecdote, which
tells US all about how it happened, is
from the pen of Charley Leonard:
During the slight lull in businesr
yesterday two little bOotblacks, one
white and one black, were sitting on
q corner doing nothing, when the
white bootblack agreed TO black the
black bootblack's boots. The black
bo0tblaek was Of course willing to
have his boots blackened by his fellow
bootblRck, and the bOotblack who
agreed to black the black bootblack's
boots went to work. When the boot
black had blacked one of the black
bOotblackis boots till it shone in q
manner that would make any boot
black proud, this bootbleck who had
agreed TO black the black bOOtblack's
boots refused to black the otaeF boot
Of the black bootblack until the black
bOotblack, who had consented to have
the white bOotblack black his
boots, should add five cents to the
amount the white bOotblack had made
blacking other mems boots. This
the bOotblack whose one boot had
ACGA DAdhC2EACA 4G40GC4 " W. odAy4uk
that 1t was good enough for a black
bOotblack to have one boot blackened
and he didn't care whether the boot
that the bootblack hadn't blackened
was blackened or not. This made the
oootblack who had blRckened the
black bootbIack's boot as angry as a
boOtblack often gets and be vented
his black wrath by splitting upon the
blackened boot of the black bootblack.
This reused the latent passions of the
black bootblack, and he proceeded to
boot the white boOtblack with the
boot the white bootblack had blacked.
A fight then ensued, in which the
white bOotblack, who had refused to
black the unblacked boot of the black
Oootblack, blacked the black boot
1lack's visionary organ, and in which
he black bootblack succeeded in
all the blacking of the
1lacked boot in booting the white
The fraternity of bootblacks
lfterward convened and denounced
he action of the white and black boot
black as one of the blackest in the
pages Of boOtblaek history.

BarHEm's CannIbaI Princess Reads the
Fiji EfbIe-


P. T. Barnum gave, yesterday, at
the Astor House, to about $50 editors,
ministers, missionaries and cores
Pondents, etc, a private exhibition Of
the cannibals he obtained from the
Fiji Islands. There were three males
one a dWarf-and a woman called
princess. This princess was in ap-
peaTance the same as an ordinary
cOlOrej woman, with hair a Ia CircGs-
sielne. She accompanied the dancers
on three sticks called a drum. She
kept excellent time. Various dances
were INDUCED in for the benefit Of the
critics assembled fan dance, chal-
lenge dance, festive dance, war dance,
and one in honor Of the king. They
were half-naked, with thongs Of hair
around their limbs, pieces of native
cloth, made from kind Of pulp from
the Papan mulberry, which hung
from q belt on their waists. Their
dark olive-cOlOred skins were savage
ly decorated with war paint, Of the
most approved cannibal order, and
they wore around their necks q curl
GUS necklace Of human bones and
whale teeth. giving them a truly saw
age aspect. The princess read from
the Fiji Bible, and appeared to be
quite intelligent. We believe these
are the first real Fijian or csnnibal
specimens ever brought to the United
States, especially under these peculiar
circumstances, and they cannot fail
TO be q very attractive and Interesting
feature Of the great shoWman's trev-
cling exhibition.
Otavah, the princess, is a fair speci-
men of Fiji woman redeemed from
eannibalism by the missionaries. Ke-
ma Rosa Yaca, Kora TumasamOra
and Gen. Ra Biau, the three eaptives
are wild, uncultivated savages. They
were secured by Mr.. Barnum's agents
in Fiji, who paid large sum for three
years use Of them, and also gave
bonds in $4,000 through the United
States Consul at Levaukee, the Hon.
J. w. Brauer, for their safe return to
King Thokambau, at Ma Viii Lew, at
the expiration Of that time. As they
would speedily be remanded to their
carnivOrOus prosecutors Immediately
Ontheir return, to be eaten GLtve 6y
piecemedl, according to the custom Of
the Cannibal Islands, tneed hardly be
necessary to add that the philanthrop-
ic Snowman, now turned missionary
In earnest, will never allow these poor
fellows to return, preferring to forfeit
his bonds instead. All the spectators
were deeply interested in their strange
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Feb. p.

The annual breakfast given by Gen.
J. Watts de Peyster to the indestruct-
ible veteran Capt. Lahr5ush, on their
concurrent birthday, promises to be-
come a permanent Institution. The
sixth of the series was given last
Saturday, on which day the time
proof soldier attained his 107th year.
He appeared so fresh and so tough
that it seemed scarcely impossible
that he would one day see the figures
transposed to 701 in the delicate
bOquet before him, which some lady
Of the 18th century should arrange for
the second Methusaleh. The dozen
guests were, with few exceptions,
Generals of the highest distinction,
and yet one of the Oldest Of these,
whom his soldiers used to call with
affection familiarity itOld Joe Hook
er," was a baby when Capt. Lahrbush
was seXagenarian, and not one had
entered the service when he had re-
tired under the burden of his 20 years.
The guests all took their leave pledg-
ing the gay and hearty old gentleman
to be present a year hence, and especi-
ally insisting that he should keep his
health and strength to take part in the
centennial anniversary of his young
friend, the American UniOn.-M =

The Chicago Advance tells the fol-
lowing suggestive incident:

The Chicago Advance tells the fol-
lowing suggestive incident:
aBerean" Christians are not as num-
erOus as they should be; those who
when they hear q discourse, from the
pulpit, search the Scriptures daily,
whether these things are so,n even
when an apostle who has preached. =
Indeed, testing sermons by the Bible
has so far gone out Of practice, that in
many churches hardlYa Bible Is now
to be found in all the pewsl Wewere
not little pleased, therefore, the 9TH
er evenings at the exercises Of q certain
conference meetingn Ia one of our
city churches. A popular preacher
from 3 distance, on the preceding Sab
bath, fhad delivered certain novel
views TO a crowded audience, and the
sentiments uttered had been favorably
received by not few. But the HBe-
reans" had been to work with their
Bible, during the three intervening
days, and the prayer meeting night
brought out the result. One of the
brethren opened a battery Of heavy
artillery on the preachers position
from the Word of God; several others
unlimbered similar guns, and brought
them to bear; and soon q cannonade
along the whole line swept away the
last vestige of the almost erroneous
impression of the popular sermonizer.
The truth was vindicated, Christian
liberty had asserted itself; the Scrip
lures had been elevated to their true
rank, above the dicta of human au-
thOrity and human applause, and the
church meeting had proved Q happy
balance to the pulpit. We commend
Berean example.
Strangely do some people talk of
getting over a great sorrow, overleap-
Ing it, passing 1t by, thrusting it into
oblivion. Not so. No one ever does
that-at least no nature which can be
touched by the feeling of grief at all.
The only way is to pass through the
ocean of afflietiOn sOlemnly, slowly,
with humility and faith, as the Isra-
elites passed through the sea. Then
It's very waves Of misery will divide
and become to us a wall on the right
side and on the left, until the gulf
before our eyes, and we land
safe on the opposite eshOre.-lMiss MitL-
och.

grossly insulted, and his character
infamously DETAINED. Friends advis-
ed him to seek redress by means OF
the law, but to one and all he replied,
'NO; I will go to my forge, and there
in six months [ shall have worked
out such a character and earned such q
name, as all the judges, law courts,
and lawyers in the world could never
give me-" He was right. It is by
honest labor, industrious toll, manly
courage and a consciencs void Of Of
fense, that we assert our true dignity
and prove our truth, honesty and re-
spectability.

A tobacco buyer who was recently
figuring in a Massachusetts, town,
came across q man who had sold his
crop for Is cents. The buyer suggest
ed to him that be had not got enough
and wanted to look at his goods, ask
ing him-if he was bound by money
paid. Finding that he was legally
free to sell again, he offered him five
cents a pound more, and would give
him a hundred dollars to bind the
bargain, which the farmer accepted.
As the buyer was about to leave he
inquired who had previously bought
the tobacco. On being informed, he
exclaimed, "GOod heavens that is my
partner n'
