Our Goat.

Our Goat.
Very few things escape the attention
of Snif6es, and from long and attentive
observation he has become an authority.
He was on the street Thursday when
the Expr>ss wagon ratified up with a
huge box, inside of which was mag
nifcent goat. Snifies joined the crowd
which surged on behind and before the
wagon, and but for the absence Of band
one might have thought Forepaugh's
great circus with its $4,000 prize beau
tv was the occasion wh:~l had produced
such a ripple. 1t was only goat
however. but such splendid fellow,
with beard foot in length and an
odoriferous aroma which settled the
question that there was no nannygoat
about it. Sniffies said he was convinced
with the first gale which swept down
Friend Street.-The could not be mista-
ken. This goat was a present from
Charleston uncle on Cooper River to
bis dearly beloved country cousin Eu-
gene. We were sick in bed on its arrl-
val and Snitfies consented to see to its
disposal. Without reflection he let him
out of his box, and the neSt moment he
made a dash at the party, which sent
them flying into the house. Armed
with ropes and hastily prepared halters
the party came out to capture the ami
NAL, but he was gone, had jumped a
fve-foot paling-fence and fled. After
some difficulty, and not until one-half
the business men CT NewberrY and all
the boys had joined in pursuit, was he
CAPTURED and led back in triumph. He
| now looks out of the chinks of an old
wood house.
AS before stated, we were sick. and
still feel indisposed to express an opin-
ion on this goat question. We are sat-
isfied that he is here, on the premises; :;
we have an olfactory knowledge which
penetrates keyholes and cracks. Goat
on the whole we don't banker after; in
parts, say about Que quarter at time,
will do, if tender, and particularly be-
fore arriving at that stage when the an
inlal reminds one of Fertilizer Facto-
ry. This goat has arrived at that stage.
and Snifties says he won't have to walk
over to the depot where the Guano
warehouses are located, a visit to the
| neighborbood of the HERALD office will
answer all purposes. He thinks it the
handsomest goat, however, he has ever
seen, and that he need not see him to
know when he is about.

travelling public, is no longer connected
with the Grand Central Hotel of Colum-
bia, having retired from the position Of
head clerk some weeks since. His OBJ
jective point now is the mountains, and
he is making arrangements for the
opening of bis famous Hostelry at Hen
dersonville. Thus it will be seen that
his engagement with the Grand Central
was only temporary, and to fill up q
small interregnum. 1t is, perhaps, a
little too early to call attention to the
advantages and pleasures which his
popular mountain resort affords, but we
can say that we are pleased to know
that 1t will be under the same efficient
management.

Blind Tom.

SllHQ ! Oilis
This wonderful negro gave per-
formance at the Prytaneum Thursday
night to one Of the best houses we have
ever seen assem- blel in the hall. Every
seat was filled, and all the Standing
room was occupied. The audience was
delighted with the performance. Blind
Tom is a musical prodigy. Uncouth in
appearance. and almost idiotic in intel
lect, he has musical powers that are the
wonder of the world and that seem to
border on the supernatural. Without
education, and totally ignorant Of the
science of music, he plays with the per-
fection of ease and accuracy the most
difficult and complicated pieces: the
only instruction he needs is to hear the
piece played once OF twice. Some OF
his peculiar faculties were illustrated
Thursday night on the stage. Mrs.
Clark played a long and difficult piece
that she composed herself; Ton took
his seat at the piano and played it
through without the slightest hesitation,
as if be had played it q hundred times.
He gave an exact imitation on the piano
of the drum and fife, of the hanG organ
and of the music box. He played the
"Fisher's Hornpipe" with his right hand,
yankee Doodle" with his left, and
sang Tramp. Tramp, Tramp, the boys
are marching" all at the same time.
He also played several pieces Of his own
composition; one, wonderful medley,
called the Battle of Manassas, in which
he initiated the advance Of the two ar
mics, the Confederates to the tune of
s.The girl l left behind me" on drum
and fife, the Fcderals to the tune of
"Dixie," the martial strains being heard
first family in the distance, growing
gradually louder till the field was reach
ed; then came the bugle's call to arms,
the rattle of musketry and the roar OF
cannon, with all the other accompanl-
ments of the great battle.
Tom never fails at the conclusion Of
a piece to jump up and applaud himself
vigorously.
Tom also gave matinee performance
Friday that was we'll attended.
