OUTposT, S. c., Aug. Z, 1880,

All quiet along the lines except now
and then stray "Plcket" fires away
at random. He either does not
dream that am in front of him here
OH tho outpost, or else he is incxcusa-
bly, thoughtless ofthe great damage
one Of his random shots might bring
about to his own comrades. Back in
bis rear his fcllow-soldiers are sleep
lug that sleep which exhaustion Of the
physical energies, and perfect men
tai quictudc alone can bring They
need rest for the morrow's work.
When they divouacetl last night they
felt that peace which follows, a sense
Of security. Thcy know That line OF
pickcts had been thrown ont between
thcm'a and their enemies. They relied
upon these, their ccasclcss vigil to
keep until the rolling drum should
again awake to action, or at least they
were sure that they would not awake
with the cncrmy in their midst. But
alas for their hopes Of quiet repose.
Fitful cat-naps lily prepare them for
the work which awaits them. This
random shooting OF pickets along the
line drives away The sense Of security
and brings ora nervousness that for
bids repose. This firing at nothing
only advises the enermy Of your
whereabouts and, but for us videttes
their scouts might pass into the very
camp and then lead column after
them. Then too, Picket might hit
one Of us vidcttes and then the enemy
would nab him sure. l always did

were put on picket. Iwould rather
have a "dummy" in the pit. I felt
safer-the army was just as safe and

crack of his rife, that he would like to
bc an officer, and this random shoot
ing looks little like there might
be latent hope that some stray ball
might bring about vacant chair, and
Picket end his aspirations there.
Now confidently expect that Pick

beg that he will remember that til ere

Editors Oramgedury Democrat:
The citizens of our little town was
regaled last night with musical and
dramatic entertainment for tho bene-
ft of the Baptist Church and Izlar
Lodge, A. +. M. One Of tho citizens
feeling it absolutely essential that tue
dull monotony should be broken, per-
ceived the idea, and good one it was.
"Poet and Peasant" overture, BY
Misses Hoffman and Jacobson, ON
piano, accompanied by Messrs. Kohn
and Jacobson or yic!in, was the in
troductory, and was but specimen
Of what was to follow. Miss Jacob
son then rendered that enthusiastic
song by MiIard, "Waiting," and was
vociferously encored.
Miss Hoffman, of Charleston, and
Mr.. jacobson then favored us with
duet from II Trovatore. Miss HIS
delicate and musical touch on the
lpiano has won her many musical ad-
mirers. In this role Mr.. j. also dis
played musical talent, which he is
fast developing.
Violin duet by Messrs. II. Kohn
and jacobson next came. The ease,
grace and dignity with which Mr.. X.
handled his bow was conclusive evil
dcnce of natural musical endow-
mcnt. g D-.4I3Hs
The audience was surprised when
Miss jacobson and Mr.. Kohn came
out in character with song, "Sister
Ruth" comic country love making
scene. They brought down the house
repeatedly with side splitting laugh
ter. BY request we then had song
entitled, "Wake, Lady, Wake"
The musical entertainment was
then concluded with a march from
Faust by Misses jacobson and Hoh-
man on piano, accompanied by Mes
srs. Kohn and jacobson on violin
forming quartette in the musical
role which will compare f&vorably
with and amatures in the land.
The old and time honored farce,
"Rough Diamond" concluded the
evenings entertainment, and deserves
special mention. Miss Minnie Rich,
of Camden, rs 'Margery," acquitted
herself handsomely, beirg we'll up in
her part, and having perception Of
what was expected in the caste, nerv-
cd herself to simply perfection. Her
support was also perfect. Mr.. Weth-
erhorn as Capt. Augustus" and Mr..
Z. Rich, as "Sir William" would
have deceived the practiccd eye, and
mistook them as having been on the
the boards for years. Mrs. Rich, as
LADY Plato." and Mr.. J. Chaplin,
as "Lord Plato," did credit to their
part of the role. Last, but not least
in averdupoise, comes "Cousin Joe,"
charactered Dy Mr.. Witcover, whose
appearance, brought roars of laughter
from both young and old. 1t would
seem impossible to have better Placed
that important part of the play. Ma
ture having enowed Mr.. w. for tLe
cast.
The cntertainmentwas a complete
SUCCESS beyond doubt, and all came
away we'll pleased, many asking when
to look for repetition. The piano
used was kindly loaned by Mrs. Z. j.
Buyck, and much of the pleasure is
due to its sweet and delicate tone.
TO Mr.. Phillip Rich is due the honor
for it all, lie being the prime mover,
and by his indfatigable energy saw
his efforts crowned with success.
