a SAD CHANGE.

The Augusta party that went to
Port Royal had a good time. They
thus speak of poor Beaufort:
Beaufort, the resort of the wealthy
Sea Island planters Of South Caro-
lima, in the olden time, still retains
marks Of her former beauty, but
sIchabod' seems written over each
portal in her limits. In the place Of
her Barnwells, her Efeywoods and
her EIIiotts, ignorant negroes rule.
What was once the elegant mansion
of the Barnwells, is now a court
house, the walls defaced and the
remnants of past grandeur fast dis
appearing. The fine residence
where the late Bishop Elliott was
born is used as a billiard saloon. -
Hardly enc Of the proud old fami.
lies Of ante Jezlsap days can be found
occupying the dwelling belonging to
it in happier times. One of the old
planters, a man who owned 800
slaves and several rich plantations
is retailing whisky in little shop in
Beaufort, in order to earn his daily
bread. While this air Of ancient
greatness and present decay hangs
about Beaufort, CLEAN Of bright
ness shines around Port Royal.

pRoTrrs or SILK cuLruRE.

We copy The following article
from that excellent farmers mcntlAy
"The Rural Garolinian"
One acre OF Mulberry trees will
produce from forty to four hundred
pounds of silk, at cost not exceed
ing two dollars per pound, ready for
market, the value of the raw silk
being from six to eight dollars per
pound, according to quality Those
who are. not prepared to reel their
own silk, could sell the cocoons to
the manufacturers, and in selling
the cocoon theprofts will be pretty
much the same in proportion to the
labor bestowed. Each cultivator
can make his own calculation, to
suit.his own soil and location, by al
lowing one hundred pounds of leaves
for one pound Of reeled silk. Forty
thousand worms, webbed, will give
fifteen pounds Of silk; an acre of
trees at four years old, in good
soil and under proper cultivation,
will yield from fifty to sixty thou
sand pounds and probably more,
which at one hundred pounds of
leaves to each pound Of silk, will be
five hundred pounds of silk, but We
must allow few thousand pounds Of
of leaves for wastage, and even then
the product viii std! belarge enough.
Surprising an average Of fifty five
thousand pounds Of leaves to the
acre, on roots four years old, this
would, consequently, at one hundred
pounds ofleaves for each pound Of
silk, give five hundred and fifty
pounds of silk, which, at seven dol
lars per pound, would be three thou
sand eight hundred and fifty dollars
per acre. Now the work to be done
that year, to have the silk ready for
market, according to our simplified
culture, which is the only one to
follow under our fine and favorable
climate, | have tried to calculate in
different ways, and find to be eight
hundred and forty 70 eight hundred
and fifty dollars per acre, this would
then leave o net profit Of $4,000.

GEORGE II. lIETCALT's DAUGH
TIERS, MONEY.

Under this head the New York
Sun, Of Saturday, has the following,
which may be of interest to some Of
our readers:
Thomas s. Mctcalf, Of Augusta,
Ga, who was worth about three mil
lions Of dollars before the war, re-
.ceived, under his brother, George
Henry Metcalfss will, $4,000 in
trust forhis brothers daughters, Mary
Il. Church and Maria II. Metcalf.--
He invested in the Mechanics Bank
Of Augusta, Ca, Of which he was
President, and then for Confederate
Government securities. His own
fortune and the bank were swept out
Of existence by the failure Of the
Confederacy; but he had acclaim
against the United States for cotton
that had been seized belonging to
Metcalf & Battersby, the latter an
Englishman, and on that claim
S487, 24207 was awarded. This
sum was deposited with Dupcan,
Sherman & Co., Of New York, and
for one-half Of it Mr.. William 9.
Church, executor for Thomas s.
Metcalf, has sued, his purpose being
to get sufficient to meet the trust
funds belonging to Marie II. Metcalf
and Mary C. Church. The dcfen
dants insist that it is a question for
the Georgia Courts to settle
Judge Donohue has reserved his
decision.

have you SEEN TOM COLLINS !
A Nan for Whom Half the People in
New york are hooking.

New Workers are easily pleased.
They have fairly run wild over q
new Joke, and tits dangerous now TO
ask people the conundrum, "Have
YOU seen Tom Collins I" The run
Iof thing reminds old New Workers
of Mike Walsh's joke shortly after
the breaking out OF the california
gold fever, when he started thou
sands Of men on hunt for Frank
Mclaughlin, who was said to have
letters from particular friends OF the
hunters in California
The Tom Collins hoax is worked
in this manner; A Joker meets n
friend and accosts him with "iavc
you seen Tom Collins 7"
"No; who the duce is Tom Col
Inns Z"
"Well, | don't know much about
him, but'he says he knows all about
you, and is telling terrible lies and
scandals, showing up your life IN the
most outrageous manner.
"Where can find the scoundrel "
"He generally hangs out at ----s
saloon, replies the joker (naming
some place where he is known and
apt to find confederates.)
''I'Il fnd him, and see what it
Means and the indignant man
starts off. Some say that Collins
has accused them of stealing, others
that they or their families have been
guilty Of some mean act.
Arriving at the place where Col
Inns is supposed to be, the injured
individual IS perhaps told that Col
Inns has just left, and is advised to
hunt him UP, as Tom is telling vii
famous stories about him. The
search for Colling continues, but IN
every case the injured man is told
that che was here a few moments
ago, but just left" Three days
have been used up in hunting for the
man Collins, and at the end of that
time the victim realizes that he has
been made the hero Of u vile prac-
teal joke, and as a result, is mulcted
in a sum sufficient to treat all his
friends.
Again, on reaching the saloon the
Joker inquiries Of the bartender, in a
voice loud enough to be heard by
persons near, "Have you see1 Tom
Collins Z"
Eyes, there 10 Is, J" answerg q con-
federate, generally pointing to the
meelSest looking stranger in the
room. Then follows this scene:
Victim with fire in his eyes,
walking up to strangely What did
you mean, sir, traducing my charac-
ter and lying about me to my
friends ~
Stranger--You are mistaken, sir !;
have said nothing about you.
Vicsim legged on by his friends)
You lie, you scoundrel, at tho same
time making pass for the stranger.
Then the parry break out in
roar of laughter, and declare that
nothing but a round Of drinks at the
victims expense will wash out the
insult to the stranger.
