A number of persons were made

We like to see cub, about thirteen
or fourteen years old, sitting around
hotel smoking five cent cigar. It
shows that he's man, you know,
even if he ain't very old.
The breezes came up re'reshingIy
yesterday afternoon, and swept in at
windows and doorways most crate
fully. Perspiring humanity was in an
ecstacy of delight, and all nature expe-

The roof of the kitchen on the pre-
misses of Prof. Brewer, of the South
Carolina University. caught fire, yes
terday. about O'Clock. The firemen
were out in a hurry, bnt their services
were not required, as few buckets Of
wnter settled the matter.

Stay out OF doors for half an hour or
30 every day, and you will be fixed for

lignant gossip. Let it alone. By-and-
by. those who go about retailing such
stuff will grow weary, il not ashamed;

COFFEE FROM LIBERIA. friend,
WIN. Glaze. has received bag OF
eighty pounds of coffee, shipped to
him all the way from Monrovia, Lii
IBERIA. by an old acquaintance, Jesse
Sharp, colored man, and native of
Columbia. He has been residing in
Liberia for about thirty years. and has
prospered in business, being now the
owner Of two good coffee and sugar
plantations; and. besides those crops,
takes hand sometimes in getting out
mahogany lumber. Sharp saffers from
rheumatism and talks of returning
to Columbia to live. He expects to
come over next spring. The coffee
presents the appearance of common
sort of Java or cape coffee. It ha. an
unusual number of broken grains, due
to defective handling, we suppose.
