OornerIsSt me- oC the New Court
House.

A copy of this weeks ipsuc of the
Orangebnrg Nkws AND TIMES will be
placed in tie corner stone for the new
Court House, the laying Of which is
TO take place, with; Masonic ceremon-
les, on the 25th inst. In view of This
fact We have thought it not inappro-
PIRATE to record below The names Of
our various public and private orgsni-
zations, Societies, churches, and public
officers, together with Dist Of our
business men, and the nature Of their
present occupations. Silently and
revcrentially will this data be con
signed, ON Thanksgiving Day, to n
place where it will be securely shell
tered from wind and rain, and from
moisture aud decay. H,nce, when We
and ours are Aaped, succeeding gene
rations may find, in the corner stone
Of thes Ofangebuig Court House, in
teresting traces Of what We arc to- day.
For whe her the time be short or long,
that the News AND TIMES shall rest
entombed in the corner stone for the
public edifce now going up,it will un-
dergo no material change, it Will retain
these faithful imprints of the present.
And let us hope that whatever may
be the fate in store for us and Orange
burg, that the corner stone, to be thus
laid with Masonic aolcmuitics, will
never be molested by invading tyrants
hands, nor jostled in its bed by the
martial tread. Of, our enemies. We
understand that. all the Masonic fra
ternities in the county will be present.

and caprices; the originality of the vari-
ations made you quite forget how trivial
was the motif. Paganini's marvellous
fantasies upon the Carnival Of Venice
give an idea Of the delicate musical ara.

dered on the coarse material. A gypsy
man, a kind Of clown with fierce
aspect, brown as an Indian, recall
ing the Bohemian types so char:
acteristically represented by Valario
in his photographic water-color sketches,
accompanied the singing with cords from
a great rebek which he held between his
knees, playing in the manner of the ORR
entail musicians; another big fellbw ex-
erted himself upon the platform, dane
ing striking the floor with his feet,
drumming q guitar while he marked the
rhythm upon the wood of the instru-
ment with the palm Of his hand, making
strange grimaces and occasionally utter
ing an unexpected cry. This was the
joker, the buffoon, the merry-andrew Of
the troupe. II is impossible to describe
the enthusiasm Of the audience immedi-
ately about the platform. They ap-
plauded and called out to the singers,
they kept time with their heads, they re-
pested over the refrains. These songs,
with their mysterious extravaganza, have
the power of an incarnation; they make
you dizzy and mad, and throw you into
the most incomprehensible moods. You
listen, and a mortal longing comes over
you to disappear from civilized life for.

The Russian GIpsy singers.

The Russians are psssionately fond
OF the Tzigani, With their homesick, for

of all restraint and oil law, divine or
human. This passion share myself and
It drives me almost 10 madness SO i made
good play With ny elbows TO reach a
place near the platform yhege the mu-
scians stood They were FIVE or six
haggard, wild-looking young girls, with
that half-bewildered air which strong
light causes to nocturnal, turtive, vaga.
bond creatures of every race. They
made one think of deer suddenly brought
from forest glade into Q drawing.room
There was nothing remarkable about
their costume; it seemed they had felt
bound, in coming to sing at this ball, to
lay aside their characteristic attire and
make fashionable toilette. In conse-
quence their appearance was like that
Of addressed @eid-servants. But one
culver Of the eye-lashea, one black, un-
famed glaRce wandering vaguely oyer
the audience was enough to give
back all their native character. The
music bNgan. They were strange melo-
dies of pensiys sweetness or Of wild
gayety, broidered with infinite horitura,
like the singing Of bird that Listens to
himself, and grows wild With bis own
warbling-sighs Of regret over somebril-
liant past existence, with careless ont
breaks Of free aud joyous humor,
which mocks at all things, even at it's
own lost happiness, If so be that liberty
remains, chofuses With stamping Of the
feet and outcries designed to accompany

the turf Of forest glades, what We call

AN IDYL or THR STREET CORNER.
Eliza was fair young girl,
Cody, and goodly. too;
She wore pannier number twelve.
And a slipper number two.
Her ankle fine and foot divine,
Combinations plump,
And innocent of cotton, that
Made hearts Of seers thump
Had these degenerate days Of ours
Not gone for legal tender,
Some social Aaron, viewing her
Her ankle, swelling, slender,
Had surely toiled to model it,
Had wrought cunning mold,
And set up for all men to see
Another Calf Of Gold.
Alasl that many maiden holds.
AS sadly knows the poet,
That. il her foot is pretty, then
Her duty It's to show it.
Eliza was not one of these.
But modest as a saint, N
As violet meath a messy stone
Or as NEST women aint.
On windy days, religously
She Stunned the public street.
And muody crossings favored by
Male cennoisseurs in feet.
It fell upon an autumn day
Of bleak and laundering mood.
| Eliza was returning from
An errand Of great good;
70 . narrow, muddy walk she came,
Where three bad young men stood;
Now, these were very bad young men
To whom no themes we're meet
For converse that did not treat of
Striped hose and pretty ieet.
And these young men were betting men,
And wagers they would lay
On any subject any man
| Might start on any day.
And when Eliza they beheld
Approaching modestly,
Quoth Jones, :" That hers are white and red
III wager theea w
Saith Brown; Their hue white and blue :
Let Smith bereferee,"
| These words the modest maiden heard,
And her mind was torn apart
| With the iercest passion that can rage
In any female heart.
| Dilemma dire ahe could not dodge.
| A double horned Distress;
To show them Or to show them notI
To lift or spoil her dress?
But, hoping something might turn up"
Besides her garments, she
| Walked slowly 70 tho muddy spot
Where stood the dauntless three.
The three stood calm and silent,
| And looked upon her feet
And there no stones above but such
AS serve for the thunder fleetg
| Will no destroying angel wing
| His way adown the streeH
| Many the shapes that Fortune takes!
Odd are the parts she plays
! Incredible her instruments.
| And wonderful her ways!
| The maid had reached the muddy spot
Her skirt was partly raised
| With speculation in their eyes
These three bad young men gazed-
| When, lol adown tho muddy street
| A Ayoung and fiery colt.
| A grocer's wagon hitched unto,
Came like thunderbolt.
There oame burst Of thunder sound
Those young men, where were theyl
| With broken bones. both Brown and Jones
| In the muddy gutter lay.
| And a clod of mud with fearful thud
| 1t struck the referee,
| And made him like to those heather men
| Who have eyes but cannot see,
| And his sense misused was cancelled like thai
OF Tom Of Coventry.
And so IL was that Eliza fair,
ThGt eoodly, godly maid,
| Passed BY those three bold, bad young men,
Who had wicked Yagers laid,
And none Of them kneF were they red or blue
| Or white without shade,
