The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-11-21


Makes ench mans "bunion" hate;
Aud, though a strict teetotaIer,
He's corned in spite of fate.
Forgotten now is horsemanship
aud drivine's lost art.
Hotels can't furnish carriages;
They've nothing but the carte
The price Of leather's going up
At II most fearful rate:
And every COW hides quivering,
Lest shafts should be her fate.
No car 'os now will carry us.
Urged en- by drivers wbacks;
Oh! for the wings learns had,
Although they went by wax!
Then let us hope that horses may
BE freed from present woes,
Aud running on their feet again,
Instsnd Of ut the nnse.
OUR Book TABLE Mr.. Duffie hass
furnished us with copy OF james
Payn's latest production, IA Woman's
Vengeance" Those who are familiar
with the writings of this author will, We
fancy, agree with us that it is rather
difficult to give any adequate notion of the
contents i'll the sort Of sketch and com.
ment combined which ia commonly
known rs a ''To7is@," the reason being
TINT SO great is the sustainment of bis
tales, SO completely does almost every
puge contain something OF Incident, or
illustration, or whatever is necessary to
keep them going, that it is hardly posi-
ble to deal with them ia mere outline.
It will be sent by mail for fifty cents.

dations committed on their property by
the French prior to the 30th September,
