CINCINNATI IN CHARLESTON
Nearly every article imported here
comes from Cincinnati, whether II is
something to cat, wear, drink, read, look
on or sleep on. | IvGnture there is no
city as far away as this that patrOni2es
Cincinnati so liberally. The elegant Hale
House was furnished from basement TO
rOOl from Cincinnati. The stores, with.
out exception, buy their goods there.
The people eat Cincinnati breadstulIs,
wear Cincinnati cloth, sleep on Cincinnati
beds, read Cincinnati papers and drink
Cincinnati whisky. And us Charleston
ilourishes and prospers, increases in trade
and population, Cincinnati reaps q large
portion Of the benefit. l was In a large
saw mill yesterday and noticed that every
article OF machinery in il, little and big,
bore Cincinnati's imprint.

When the mother Of Presidents was di.
vided fair share Of her great men fell 10
this side, and | hear no complaint of an
unequal distribution of the commodity,
though as to the division OF tho debt there
Is considerable clamor. It's a pity the
debt could not have been dividedhs nicely
as the great men, giving satisfaction al.
around, but it seems that it was other
wise.
The Convention has drawn n good share
Of the talent Of the State here. Among
the most distinguished members of thai
body might be mentioned Charles James
Faulkner, Minister to France under Bu-
chanan, ex.GOv. Price, w. X. Pendleton,
A. F. Raymond, W. 7. Wiley, Okey
johnson, Benjamin Wilson, Alexander
Campbell, Thomas r. Park, Alexander
Monroe and James S Wheat Ex Gov.
Price is President OF the Convention, and
is gentleman Of character, ability and
experience. Mt. Wiley is an ex.United
States Senator. Alexander Campbell is u
son oI the famous Campbell who founded
the religious sects known as the Camp
belltes.
Altogether. the Convention has a fair
share of ability, and more than fair
share of experience, for most oil the mem.
bcrs arc well along in years. H.. VIZ.

the moderate Democrats are getting un.
easy. We suggest that in addition to the
causes assigned, the persistent blockade

have something to do with it, nv. r.

it may be the stock Is getting low. The

HERE is fresh anecdote about Dickens: :
Somewhere about the middle of the serial
publication of "David Copperfeld, happening
to be out Of writing paper, he sailed forth
one morning to get fresh supply at the sta
TONERS to begin work upon his next number.
He stood aside moment at the threshold to
allow lady to pass in before him. As be
entered he overheard the lady asking for the
new green number. When it was handed to
her che said, ooh, have read this; I want
the next one." Listening to this, unrecog-
nised," Mr.. Dickens afterwards said, "and re-
membering that not word of the number
she was asking for was yet written, for the
first and only time in my life felt frightened"

them. And they further advertised that their
payroll would be made up on Monday, as us

and take their pay. This is the old-fashion-

Webster, and has turned a rock-bound coast

POETRY
IncOnstant.
EY H. w. G.

Inconstant! Oh, my God!
sonGs Ms ant n when single h thought of thee
Back on my heart in thrills of ecstacy
Inconstant! when to feel
That thou hast loved me-wil love to the last
Is joy enough to steal
All fear from life-the future and the past
Inconstant! when to sleep
And dream that thou art near me, is to learn
30 much OF Heaven, weep
Because the earth and morning must return.
Inconstant! All too true:
Turned from the rightful shelter of thy breast
My tired heart hutters through
The changeful worid-a bird without nest.
Inconstant to the crowd
Through which pass, as to the skies above
lac tickle summers cloud; &k@f
But not thee-O not to thee, dear love!
may be false to all
On earth besides, and every tender tia
Which seems to hold in thra1l
This weary life of mine may be q lie;
But true as Gods own truth,
My steadfast heart turns backward evermore
To that sweet time of youth
Whose golden tide beats such barren Shore.
Inconstant! Not my own
The hand which builds this wall between our lives;
On its cold shadow grown
To perfect shape, the flower of love survives.
Go1 knows That would give
All other joys, the sweetest and the best,
For one short hour to live
Close to thy heart, its comfort and its resti
But life is not all dark; -
The sunlight goldens many hidden slope;
The dove shall find its ark
Of peaceful refuge and of patient hope
yet shall be possessed
or woman's need my small world set apart
Home, love- protection, rest
And children's voices singing thro' my heart.
By Gods help will be
A faithful mother and tender wife
Perhaps even more, that He
Hath chastened the best glory from my life.
But sacred to this loss
One small sweet chamber of my heart shall be;
No foot shall ever cross
The silent portal sealed to love and thee.
And sometimes when my lips
To my hrst-bor cling close and long.
Draining with bee-like sips
All Its sweet lily heart-w it be wrong
Ii, for an instant, wild
With precious pain, put the truth aside an
And dream it is thy child
That am fondling with such tender pride?
And whsn anothers head
Sleeps on thy heart, d it should ever seem
To be my own instead,
darling, hold it closer for the dream.
God will forgive the sin,
1T sin 1t is; our lives are swept SO dry,
So cold, 80 passi mclean,
Thank Him death comes at last-and SO good bye.

M. Kathoff, che editor of the Mosco,c Ga

the last ten years by issuing his paper, which
has now circulation of over fifty thousand
copies.
The late King of Sweden was great adj
mirer Of the novels of James Fenimore
Cooper, and among his papers was found an
unfinished translation of the "Last of tn
Mohicans."
Mr.. W. J. Thoms, the editor of Notes
and Queries, is preparing for early publica-
ton work on the longevity of man, in or
der to show with how much doubt reports of
unusually long lives ought to be regarded.
1t is stated that Earl Russell is about to
publish volume of Essays on the Rise and
Progress Of the Christian Religion in the
West of Europe, from the reign of Tiberius
to the end of the Council of Trent
There are now In Europe seven papers pub
lished exclusively for Americans. to which
will soon be added another. 1t is the Amer-
ican Union, which will be issued in Paris on
the first of December next. 1t will be a
semi-rnonthly paper.
1t is said that none of the French transla-

The Atlanta Weekly.

The humorous articles which have appear
ed from time to time in the PRESS purport-
ing to be extracts from the Atlanta Weekly,
having been widely copied, some inquiry has
been made about that journal and micro
scopic investigation Of newspaper directories
has failed to demonstrate its existence. 1t
becomes necessary for us to admit that the
Weekly is myth, the editor creation Of
fancy, the genial sub-editor an incorporeal
quill driver and the cantankerous opposition
editor merely the traditional s'reptile contem-
porary." The author of the articles, for
merly a journalist himself, furnishes them
exclusively for the PRESS, and all communi-
cations for the Weekl will reach their desti-
nation most readily by an address in care of
the PRESS. The complimentary notices of
the Weekly which have been made and its
appearance in several lists of American jour
mails distinguished for humorous paragraphs
are very ludicrous in the light of its nom
entity and show that the most acute news
paper men are sometimes subject 10 illusions.
That the imaginary Weekly still exists in its
pristine vigor the following extract abundant.

THE most amusing thing in contemporary
literature is the manner in which some Of the
New York papers sniff at Boston's preten-

idea of the Boston confagration's having been

especially offensive to the Gothamite, and his
nose goes into the air when it is mentioned,
