Bachelors whose incomes do not per
NIT them to marry better be warned in
time and keep away, because the place
is dangerous-there are ''man-traps" liz
every direction; bsited with sparkling
eyes and ready cunning. Never have
so many been assembled for the confu-
sion of "male heads" and the detriment
of their hearts-there is long, long list
of which contains some acknowledged
| beauties; indeed the array OF beautiful
| faces is as surprising it is agreeable,
and what is entirely agreeable to these
far creatures, too, is that for every one
| there is a ''moustached companion" or
one who thinks he is old enough to have
| or that he 1Oiti haze merit summer. Young
ladies do not have to choose each other
! for partners, aud take it in turns to be
| gentlemen. Neither do the gentlemen
choose each other, and bring into service
| their soiled 'spocket handkerchlefs."
No, no, for there is plenty of calico to
Suing. ''Al things are lovely and
MaloOgin's geese live high"
We can not :ail to mention Davis,
Campbell and Nichols string band, who
| are giving some very select music, as
Col. Douglass would say, with Ned as
leader. He is certainly a violinist of
wonderful genius. 1t has been said,
and wisely too, that great violinists are
as rare as perfect diamonds, Cor as ladies
with natural hair.)
We beg to return our thanks to Mr..
John Cason and lady, and to Mr.. James
Erwin and family, for the hospitable
way in which we were treated. Their
tables were supplied with everything
good for the inner man. 1t was at the
latter's table that Maj. A. B., of Column
bia, was so much taken with leg of
mutton that he remarked to the good
hostess, HE hoped the leg of Southdown
would last while he stayed" This
SfcrinCarinrrD his V1niOb-
bors at the table, and it was generally
believedif his appetite still improved,
and the dish was not put out of his reach |
in two more sittings, there would be
nothing LETT to witness him exercise his |
tOothpick but the empty dish. Our |
young friend J. r. III. used the appeti- |
yer till he became foundered, and had to |
call in Drs. Dunlap and Dawson, who |
agreed that standing him in tub of |
cold water would secure relief, all of
which proved true, and Jim recovered |
and commenced again on chicken pie"
Messrs. Seavy IL Wilkes, photograph
ers, are doing very lively business in
their line. They have quite nice gal
lery, one that would do credit to any
town. Seavy has made wonderful dis
coVery in photOgraphing in which new
milk is freely used. This firm has TAX
en- some very romantic views, which
they dispose of readily for the cash;

in good standing.
DR.. VIM. Sheppard is constantly stand
ing over his dental chair, extracting
"snags," thinning, saving, ETC., and oc~
casionally filling teeth with the pure
''stuf'' from VIM. Deans gold mines.
Irvine q Cason's "Alhambra," under
the management of "Little Johnnie
Green" is in full blast, dishing out
nothing but the very best with green's
or without greens.
The stable of Mr.. James Erwin is do~
ing quite business. Jim feeds there in
the same manner he does at his table,
and OF course you know how it is your
self. Mr.. Nat Holman aud lady are the
guests of the Erwin House; also Mr.. Sid.
Fleming and lady, DIR. j ames Greenfield,
DR.. Southern, Jacob HOFFMAN. "Jack
Daw," the pencil waster, was there
a small gold headed cane
around over his fingers; and many 9TH
ers l would be glad to speak of, but
havn't space. M. Y. EDGE.
