EoUIpPING THE GREENvILLE AND CoLUM-
B1A RAILRoAD-THE PROPOSED Quick SEIZED
ULE.-The Greenville and Columbia Railroad,
one of the most important feeders OF Charles
ton. will be put in first class order as rapidly
"a possible. Five hundred tons of L rails,
with the most approved fastenings, have been
provided, and are being laid down with all
practicable dispatch. Additional locomotives
and cars are under contract, and in progress,
and will certainly be ready for the fall busi-
ness. :.
II is proposcd, when the Improvements OF
the track are sufficiently advanced, to quicken
the schedules on the Greenville and COLUMBIA
Railroad, and connect its trains at Columbia
with special fast passenger train OF the oouGh
Carolina Railroad, so as to bring the Greenvllle
and the Columbia passengers into Charleston
at about half-past ten o'clock at night.
Few persons have any adequate IDEA OF tne
difficulties which have surrounded the Green
Vile and Columbia Railroad since 1t passed
into the hands of its present owners. Inc
road was worn out; its rolling STOCK was IN
miserably dilapidated condition; the increase
in business tasked the capacity OF the line 70
the utmost. At the same time, the protracted
litigation in which the company was involved
DESTROYED its credit, and prevented the man,
agement from spending money, as they had
proposed to do in re6tting and equipping the
road. The public complained OF insufficient :, I
accommodation, but it may safely be said that
without the cooperation of the South Caroline
Railroad, and the liberal use of its motive
power and cars, there would have been com
pete block-up of freight above Columbia
This trouble is now past, and by the time tina
active business re-opens, the Greenville ant
Columbia Railroad is expected to be IN a con =,
dition to give ample accommodation to potl
freight and passengers CharIesto" Ne"S G"e

BROTHERHOOD.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

Is Il worth while that we jostle brother
Bearing his load on the rough road of life ?
is II worth while that we jeer at each other
In olackness of heart?-that we war to the
knife? '-'
God pity US all in our pitiful strife.
God pity US all as we jostle each other;
BOD pardon as all for the triumphs we feel
When fellow goes down meath his load on
the heather,
Pierced to the heart; words are keener
than steel,
and mightier far for woe or for veal.
Were 1t not well in this brief little Journey
On over the isthmus, down into the tide.
We give him fish instead of a serpent.
Ire folding the hands TO be and abide
Forever and aye in dust at his side?
Look at the roses saluting each other;
Look at the herds all AT peace on the plsin-
Nan, and man only, makes war on his brother.
And laughs in his heart at the peril and
pain;
Shamed by the beasts that 90 down on the
plain.
Is i worth while that we battle 10 humble
Some poor fellow-soldier down in the dust ,
God pity US all Time oft>soon will tumble
All OF US together, like leaves in gust
Humbled indeed, down into the dust.

For Ladies Only.

DR.. do Lewis in his lecture on "Oui
Girls" says American ladies are the most
beautiful in the world. He says:
As general thing, they are taller and OF
what is called finer fOTms,n but the ma.
Jority of them-DF. Warren, of Boston
says five-sixths Of them in that city-are
afflicted with curvature of the spine,
which, however, is hid by the art of the
dressmaker, and it has been found that the
lungs are small and the chest fat. These
pecullarities OF the American women are
chlehy due TO her carriage and dress. He
ADVISED that every young lady should
make IL a rule when in the house TO walk
an hour day with a weight-say a bag of
beans laughter upon her head, and she
would mus easily acquire an erect posture
which would throw her chest forward and
give her graceful attitude.
A writer in FTaSey's Magazine says the
"Hiadoo women have a graceful CAL
rage. Our lady readers can Judge of this
when he says
They carry everything on their heads
jars Of water, pieces of cloth, baskets of
vegetables. huge bundles of sugar-cane,
fuel, anything and everything, leaving
their hands free for any additional burden
They do not even carry their little black
babies in their arms, but either balance
them astride on their shoulders with their
little hands on their mothers head, or else
astride on one hip, encircled with strong
arm. i have seen woman with four
water jars towering on her head, and her
little baby on her hip, walking along with
springy grace, jingling her silvery anklets
and toe-bells as she went"

"Ah, Loulie, out of those three small

How the Panic Works in New York,

A New York correspondent of the Gin
clnnati COMMERCIAL says;
Some of the effects of this long-winded
panic are rather queer For instance. take
the profession of dentistry all the dentists
are idle. A leading member Of the profess
sion, whose office has always heretofore
been crowded, told me that he and his as.
sistants had done nothing since the pan
ic. f
still more queer is the fact that nearly
all the doctors, even the great and famous
practitioners, have been half idle ever since
the appearance of the panic. ....r
hardly less queer is the fact mentioned
by the keeper of fashionable paWnbrok-
ing establishment on Broadway, whose
owner said that he had received AN
lnordlnate and amazing amount of dia-
monds and jewelry from the women who
kept the costliest class Of dlsreputable
houses, and from the richer sort of cypri-
ans, who told pitiful tales of the blight by
which they had been overtaken.
The liquor business, at the fashionable
and questionable bars, has run down In
an unprecedented way, and the demand
for costly wines is nearly Mt zero.
The cigar business is suffering excrucia-
tingly; and multitudes of people heretofore
accustomed TO their Havanas have taken TO
clay pipes the smoke from which costs
them only about a hundredth part of the
price of good cigars. The livery stable
business is half ruined. The high-priced
hotels are emptied

baltimore Cattle Market.

BALTIMoRE Nov. IL, 1873.
BKEF CATTLE.-There we're more Cattle on
market this week than we're needed, operations
being very slow, and, as some thought, the
dullest since the war. In common with other
live stock, and almost every other article of
slowly effected, the decline increasing as the
market progressed, until lc lower figures wero
accepted than 70. corresponding grades of Cat

Prices to-day for beef cattle ranged as fol-
lows: Best beeyes at 4 50a6 90 ; that generally
rated first quality 60a4 90 I; medium or good

A rs per 100 lbs.
SHEEP AND LAMBS. 1.-The sheep market is
very dull, and prices are no better under the
heavy falling off in the receipts this week. We
quote at 4a5c, though extra heavy fat sheep
would sell at 5lc per 10 gross. Stock sheep dull
at 2a3 % per head, Lambs dull at 2aS % per
head.
Hostile over-supply on the mar ket this
week has caused it to give way, and prices are
fully &c. lower than our last quotations, the de-
cline commencing early in the week. At our
outside figures very few, and those choice tops,
cannot be obtained. The demand is dull fer heavy
supply in excess of 5000 or 5000 head weekly
would Just now cause further decline, and
the prospects are entirely dependent on future
receipts We quote corn fed hogs at $5.25a 600,
and but few at the latter figure stillers, $500
