AR1rHMETIcAL. There appeared seve-
raj little ''iar fetched" fgurative jokes
in the Union, yesterday, but the worst of
oil was that displayed head, 1000 Re-
publicans celebrate the victory" 100
guns, and more coming" Probably
ten shots would exceed the number, and
300 would be fair estimate OF the Re-
publcans present. It may have been
typographical error. which is likely to
occur-that is O to 10 would form an
hundred, and to 800 would finish the
e1aggeration. Many shouts we're given
for Greeley and Merrimon, showing that
all present we're not "truly loil." Be-
sides, the boys. girls and women present
were there to hear and see, and not as of
the party. More arithmetic items
wanted.
Rev. DIR. RRYNoLDs.-The Religious
Herald, published at Richmond, Va, (of
August 81 pays the following we'll
merited tribute to this distinguished
clergyman, who. for more than twenty
years, has served the State most honor
ably and usefully in her highest institu-
tion of learning:
'The Working Christian speaks of the
South Carolina State University as q
grand humbug.' DR.. j. L. Reynolds is
Professor in that institution. He is
one OF the most accomplished and accu-
rate scholars in the South. As long as
he retains his professorship, we shall
hope that the college may yet regain at
least something of the glorious renown
which for many it enjoyed"

PHGNIxrANA.-Why cannot two slen-
der persons become great friendsP Be.
cause they will always be slight acquaint-
ances.
No man can, for any considerable Pc
riod, wear one face to himself and an
other to the multitude, without finally
getting bewildered as to which may be
true.
Search others for their virtues, your
self for vices.
Fools and obstinate men make lawyers
rich.
Query-Does a dumb man always
keep his word?
What article would one naturally sup
pose young lady would mention in ad-
dressing an absent lover? Oakum.
CATERS with monogram clasps are now
all the fashion with pretty girls. The
styleis said to be convenient and elegant.
What did Lot do when his wife turned
to salt? Got fresh one.
In what suit does man never feel
! comfortable? In lawsuit
