are so many enticements here-the

! the beautiful rivers on either side of
the City: the houses are SO various in
architecture, some Of them so quaint,
many of them so old; the people are
| so kindly hospitable; the matrons are
so pleasant; the maidens so enchant-

nlischieyous: the market so enticing;
| the battery so invigorating; the gar
ders so inviting and sweet; the ship
ping so worth-seeing; the truck ven

Yesterday with friend and cousin

an imposing pile of brick and mortar,
and the piles driven into the ground
upon which the foundation was made,

were exceedingly polite and entertain

valuable time. l feel now, by the

it. But to return, this Factory is five
stories high, and is 150 by 400 feet wide
and long, and gives bread to four nun
dred operatives, mostly women and
girls. These are OF the usual sallow

| tory is running on full time, and has a
capacity Of 10000 lbs. of yarn, and an
equal number OF pounds OF sheeting,
per week.
One Of the large interests of Charles
ton IS Claussen's bread, cake, cracker
and candy Factory. 1t is immense,
and has just risen like Phoenix from
the ashes OF late fire. The building
| is not yet completed, but the baking
is going on. What would ''little chill

| like the chap described in the song
"Push along, keep moying," who
In vain tried to make his bread

No, Sir, he takes the cash, otherwise
he could not have built the house

is his Lager Beer factory. The noble
design Of this factory is apparent to
me. When his bread clogs the eat
ers throat, he has only to turn the
corner and call for Beer, the bread is
washed down. and life is saved. Good
for Claussen.
A fitting place Of rest is Ed. Perry's
stationery establishment on Meeting
street. It is presided over by clever
men-the chief of whom. down stairs,

will hereafter do his city trading in
that particular line of business with
none other. Perry is fortunate, for
Barragan is gem Of a salesman, and

vantage. doubt if Perry's lips ever
contacted with that remarkable stone

venerable age precludes asking the
question. Mr.. Hutson, the efficient
and experienced manager of the typo
graphical department, reminds me
of old uncle Edward, he whose
"Fingers were as long as the cane in

giving gentleman credit for one Of
their peculiar attributes. Having es-
tablished the assertion that Perry's
store is good resting place, and hay

brief note, and looking pale and IA
tigued, Snifies was invited by the
