sniffles Once Again.

Like Monsieur Tonsonn I, Snifles,
appear again. sAll work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" and not want
ing to be dull, or lose the least bit Of
my bright, crispy animation, l stole a
day out of one of last weeks seven and
visited Columbia. like to 60 there.
There is something good for Smiles
wholesome in that beautiful city. 1
have many appreciative friends there,
fellows who belong to 'Gideon's band, ,
and We have jolly good time OF it.
We don't have 'goose.and inguns, but
oysters, crabs, and tender loin steaks
abound. These fellows are all sensible
and are provided with good wives-I
pity the poor fellow who is not blessed
with a good wife, and weep great tears
for one who is tied to bad one. How
| lean up to them-not the wives but
the fellows-and how delightful it is
to drop in. had just recovered from
pain, asockdolager pain, pain some
times read about, but one which few
men have the pleasure q OF experien-
cling, pain sharp, deep, penetrating,
incisive, pain which undulates under
meath through fibre and muscle, a pain
which hangs fire for minute, only to
bite, burn and tear its victim with fresh
spite. Just over it, my diaphragm felt
collapsed, and like a modern pocket
book, or as if one of Tozer & Dial's
broad tired road engines had passed
over it in all effort to quench its vital
itv. I was not uuenched however, and
only needed filling, therefore the read
er will understand why Columbia was
visited, and at the same time be glad
to learn that Sniffies was filled, as like
wise were the fellows-with astonish-
ment. s.
A visit to the Secretary OF States
Office was in order. The Chief was abb
sent but the comfortable nest was pre-
sided over by Mr.. A. c. Jones, and an
other clerk, who illuminated all the re-
cesses and revealed all OF interest to be
seen. The trunk of the lightning-struck
Confederate soldier, with the head in a
eorner-the remains of the monument
an old book of land grants, 4O years
old, stacks of papers, the original or
dinance OF secession with the venera-
ted name of Robert Moorman, together
with those of Joseph Caldwell, aud j..
P. Kinard, the new State Seal, and lots
of dust, the accumulation OF years,
comprise the objects of interest seen.
Crane is all right, and has not forgot
ten Newberry in the honors which
crowd him.
Saturday morning is good time to
visit the market, and I make it point
to 90 there with the man whose vittles
I consume this is good plan, and
| worthy of imitation, as it enables one
to decide whether it will be the proper
thing to dine with him or not. The
meats were fine and abundant, as were
the fish, oysters and crabs, and by the
way the crab supper the night before
might well admit of paragraph, only
that it might cause surfeit, and that
would be unfit you know; suffice it to
say it was good.
Do you want cheap groceries? well.
go to the house of Lorick & Lowrance
and ask for Moore or Spearman, both
OF Newberry, and if they don't make
your head swim, and your eyes ruG
water, no one else can-their prices
are astonishiugly low. Cross over the
street and see Duffie, who is looking
young again, and as lively as cricket,
But I Stop, only intending at the start tt
say that l went to Columbia.
