AS LARGE AS OUR ARM.-Iast week a
kind Samaritan, gave our "middle-man''
some Sweet Potatoes. OF course he wa s
enthusiastic and enlOglstic. But he was
thoughtless. He said they were as large as
his arm. Now that was severe on the po-
tatoe and the producer Of the same. How
ever, It should. be remembered that he
meant that they were as large as our arm,
or our Juniors.

cotton, makes better sample, and is the
cheapest Gin In the market. l
AN OLD BAcHELoR.-Over the above
'fnom de plume va rseeiveda long COM
muHicatien, tenderly revealing the loves Of
an old bachelor. These loves were two,
one for ssbeautiful young LADY," and the
other for terrier purp. The fair lady was
false, but the purp was true, and hence he
draws comparison Infinitely to the credit
OF the purp- And may he be happy with
his purp. r!s -
LUsUs NATURE.--our young friend jas.
Jackson, who resides near Andrews Chap
el, showed US young chicken, on Monday,
with four well developed legs and feet.
TIVE OF its legs were in their proper place,
and upon these two it walked as other
chickens do-the other two legs grew out
from the hinder portion OF its body.- back
Of the center of gravity, forming one leg to
the knee and then two with perfect feet.
It's hind legs are of no apparent use what
ever, and were evidently, like great many
of fashions freaks, more ornamental than
useful. 1t was an active, healthy chicken,
and moved about with perfect ease.
THE FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT.-On Sat-
urday night last, during the rain, consid-
cradle excitement was created by the burn
ing Of some twenty barrels Of unslaeked
lime, on Shannon Street, belonging to
Taylor & Anderson. notwithstanding the
barrels were fired by the rain, the Police
and others who were first to reach the spot,
threw water on them with great industry
until the whole business was Destroyed
One Of them innocently remarked after
wards-''Why, the more water we threw
on it the worse the id thing burnt"
ARREsTED.--A negro man by the name
of Press Carter, who stole bale of cotton
and horse from Mr.. N Fitzpatrick, of
union county, Miss, and Runaway, was ar
rested in this City on Tuesday last by CHIEF
McCabe, and turned over to Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick, for conveyance to Mississippi. The
negro admits that he got the cotton and
sold the horse, but insists that white man
hired him to haul the cotton of, alleging
that it was his, and that he thought he had
Alright to sell the horse, as he bad bargain
ed with Mr.. Fitzpatrick TO buy him.
ToAfAHAwKED.-A negro man named |
John Williams was tomahawked on Mon
day by a white man named John Campbell. !
The negro. Campbell alleged, had used
vulgar language in the hearing of his
family, and had threatened to shoot hin,
Campbell, when ordered to desist and leave
his premises. This occurred several days
ago. However, the negro was not serious
ly hurt, only receiving slight cut on the
LETT cheek and above the left eye. Both
were fined by the Recorder.

A BASE BALL MUsTACHE.-This is an
entirely new style, and is worn by very
young men who affect very mature airs.
A young gentleman Of this City has the
honor Of introducing the style, and his
sweetheart Of giving 1t name. 1t was
thus: he turned out d nustache which
grew painfally scattering on each side Of
his lip. His sweetheart, sympathizing with
him, complimented Il highly, declaring
that twas the sweetestiittle thing imagin-
ble-s'wby,p says She, @that style Of mus
tache should be the rage; it's regular base
baller-shins on side.T G
BE WARNKD.-W authorized by the
authorities to say that all dogs not muzzled,
running at large, will be shot after this
nohae-that halters with not answer, but
that mnzzles alone meet the requirements
OF the law. The Police have been very
lenient In enforcing this order since its
passage, but from this iiate they Will rigid
Iy execute the law. Obey the law or take
theeOnsequsness Or disobsdience, and don't
Imagine that you can bully the Police.
That's the English Of dc thing.
INfPAssABLE.-Great complaint is being
made by citizens over the river against
Campbell'slevee. We understand that the
BRIDGE are now, in manner, impossible,
while the embankment is full of deep rats.
The Commissioners win doubtless do all
in their power to repair this Ievee, but the
question l., baa the County Court gwen
them sufficient suthorftg in the premisess
During the FAN months every leVee lead
ing into the City should be thoroughly re-
paired. Delay In so Important a matter
will damage this CitJ and County hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars, to say MOTH
ing Of the general Inconvenience. Let this
mater he looked into st once.

OUT OF THE AsHEs.-Out Of the ashes
Of the great fires Of this year, Jackson is
springing into "newness Of life' and
beauty. Nineteen splendid business houses
are now rising from the ashes of the burn
ings, and others are under contract. Fifty
