SENATOR SPRAaUE AND HIS MANurAo.
TURING INTENTIONS senator Sprague,
OF Rhode Island, has come and gone,
and The bright visions of immense cot
ton mills in this oily in his interest have
vanished with him. Four years ago,
committee, appointed by the Legisla-
ture, made an advantageous arrangement
las it was :hought) with him. and the
valuable water power-the Columbia
Canal-bclonging to the State, was
turned over to the wealthy manufacturer
for the nominal sum Of $500. Since
that time, the Senator has invested q
considerable amount in real estate in
this city, has widened the canal, obtained
certain river privileges, etc.; and now is
forced to give up. his manufacturing
'ideas-the principal reason being the in.
disposition OF the Legislature to furnish
him With what he couoei7es 10 10 neces-
cary franchises. Senator s.. has, how
| over, made an offer to committee of
citizens to dispose of the entire property
at figure named-whioh by some is
considered reasonable. That something
should be done in the matter, there is
not the shadow OF doubt. This water
power is one OF the best in the South,
and its development would be of untold
advantage to Columbia. We hope the
great manufacturer will, however, re-
consider the matter, and eventually carry
out his original idea. Senator Sprague
left for Savannah, yesterday, but expects
to return to Columbia in few days.

Everybody should plan to have plea
SAINT conversation at the table, iust. as
they do for having good food. A little
storytelling, little reading-it may be
of humorous things, anecdotes, etc.
will often stimulate the Joyous element
of tho mind aud cause it to act vigorous
ly. Try and avoid going to the table all
tired out. Let nll troublesome topics be
avoided. Don't scold domestics. Don't
discipline children. Think and say
something pleasant. Cultivate mirtb,
and laugh when any timing witty is SAID.
IT possible, never eat alone; invite q
friend OF whom you are fond, and try
and have good time. Friendship and
friendly intercourse at the table whets
the appetite and promotes the flow of
animal epirits.
