SHOCKING IN RUSSIA.

smoking is a much more insuferable nuisance than
the man who insists upon smoking. To tell the
truth, cwever, neither OF these two classes exists
in this country. The Russians do not divide society
into smokers and nOn-smOkers; they decline 20 make

NEGROES SCARED BY THE COMET.

From The Charleston NelCs and Courier.
The very elaborate and scientific descriptions Of
the new comet which have been published IN The
Nars and Courier have attracted the attention OF
the colored people " no. as general thing are close
readers or hearers of the paper. Those who cannot
read have had the facts repeated to them, and the
news has gradually been enlarged upon as it is re-
peated until something of an excitement has been
created The story among the more lterate of the
race was that II comet with two wings aud tail
was on Its way here and that the end of the world
was approaching and this generally believed.
AS IA consequence, the class meetings Mt the
churches have been largely attended, and the ex-
crcises marked with more than usual fervency and
excites n cummotion, but when two wings
added there is a submity attached to the heavenly
yagabond that strikes the neart of the average
coortd citizen with terror and invests him with an
inordinate desire to flee from the wrath to come.

The attraction peculiar to this establishment asd
from its modest cuisine, is cenLed in its play bills
and pictures OF the old time stars" The small
recess of the front window is filed with them,
none bearing more recent date than 1880 Boxes,
trunks and bundles of bills are piled and stacked
about the place. ranging from l700 to modern
