This is saying great deal for our
enterprise, Aeyerth eless we, wall

confuted by demonstration to the
contrary. About six. miles Hom
the river, on the Carolina side, and
half mile over RAGS creek, and one
Imile at Greenwood, will comprise
|all the difficult or heavy grading on
the. route, and even this Will not be
considered heavy, when, compared
with the grading fothe railroads in
the upper parts Of Georgia and
CAROLINA. We crossed the Savan..
|nah river just below the mouth of
Johy creek: This point was the
most practicable. or the most suit;.-

| find, The bank on the Carolina
side is all that could be wished-a
spur of a hill extends quite to the
edge Of the water. The bank on
which the abutment of the bpidge
will rest is composed mostly Of
large solid rocks, and it is elevated
thirty,eight feet from the surface 'ol
the water. On this side the bank
is not so high, but we think can
easily be made higher by embark:
ment. This bank also has a rocky
foundation. Our route across the
river passes Overt an island, and
consequently there is two channels
of water. The following are, the
widths Of the island and channels

two are only small branches, and
will require short bridges, with
some trestling; the latter has been
mentioned above, and it, will be q

With these remarks, we vii close
our short and desuTtory report OF
our proceedings, as we have not had
time to make out any profile OF
map of the route; which we intend

work.; and in submitting this re-

Why Chubh Mourned.

When Chubbs wife died we called in
to mourn with him, and if possible to
console him in his affection. The old
man sat in the rocking chair, with his
eyes closed, chewing a toothpick and
rocking to and fro as he apparently
unused over the years that had sped so
happily in company with his late part
ner. We gently approached the subject
Of Mrs. Chubb's departure. We assured
him that we sympathized with him in
his. deep affection, and the more sim
cerely because we well knew the estima-
BILE qualities Of his wife and were famil-
lar with the virtues with which she
adorned her home. "She was indeed, ="
we said, IAN excellent woman; a re-
markable woman; a woman OF sterling
qualities and of unaffected plety.
Chubb stopped rocking and looked at us
mournfully, Unaffected pietyY he ex-
claimed unaffected piety2 That IS
Just it. That is just what's the matter.
/ tell you, Adeler," he said, bringing his
hand down emphatically on the arm OF
the chair, 1.-THE way that there woman
could roast o sugsr-cured ham would

him alone with his sorrow. There are

THE fate Of antiquated bellies does not
present more dismal history than that
of those male exquisites whose ambition
is to be considered the beaux Of society.
Beau Hickman, the American type OF
this gorilla race, died pauper, was
buried in Potters' Fields, and passed
beneath the dissecting knife of the med
ical student. A contemporary gives
brief history OF the beaux of England;
Beau Fielding, a gallant Of the reign OF
Charles the Second, although BATTERED
and even fawned to. died in poverty.
Beau Nash, the celebrated King oil
Bath" who dictated the fashions to the
highest titled ladies in the land, became
an intoIerable bore in society, and ex-
isted ON the sufferanee Of those whom
he formerly ruled. His bust had been
placed between those of Newton and
Pope, which, of course, by comparison,
only made him the more ridiculous
Beau Brummell, after having run his
career of fashionable folly, died in rags
in foreign land; yet he was patronized
by the Prince Regent, who, however,
said of him that he was mere tailor S
dummy to hang clothes on" Such is
the fate of dandyism superannuated.
The genus is but target for the arrows
Of contempt, and derisive laughter, in
stead Of bitter tears, follow their demise.
These representative men are passing
away like the ignoble Indian, both
equally useless in this world, except as
a subject for the disseeting table.
