negular Correspondence OF fHrELLisEscER.
COLUMBIA, March 6--,rhe disposition of
the tramp In Columbia, is one of the things
no one ventures 70 take In hand. The town
in certainly overrun with them. 1t IL diff
cult TO discriminate between the worthy and
worthless, and people have adopted the
plan of locking their gates-result,
those men who have no gates 10 lock, feed
the tramps. One family informed us they
have regular callers In the vagrant line, who
appear to have settled in Columbia pcrna-
ncntly We have always found II first
class plan TO make the tramp earn what he
eats when we find him able-bodied enough.
Ashes In the cellar, garbage in the yard,
wood pile to reduce to kindling wood ETC.,
But don't let him In the house IL no men are
on the premises.
A ia Choclatairc" to be Held.
a La Choclatdirc will be held in the lee
| ture room of the Fourth street Presbyterian
| church, on or about the 10Th inst. 1t will be
under tho direction of the ladies of the church.
Those festivals are becoming very popular in
| large cities and as they arc new to Columbia
| we will explain briefly that a La Choctatdire
j! Is au entertainment where the principal arti-
| Gle 10 be disposed of is chocolate 1t is gener-
| ally displayed by some confectioner who
provides the chocolate on sale, in all the forms
| In which II is manufactured. The attendants
are In full dress and i'm this case we are in
| formed will number about fifty ladies and
| gentlemen. The novelty Of the entertain
| ment will no doubt secure generous patron
| age. The cause TO which the proceeds Will
be devoted is one worthy OF liberal support.
Leased for storage House.
The Mcclure property on Walnut street,
formerly used rs a slate works has been
leased by the Columbia transfer and com
| mission company for the storage of goods.
The large freight warehouse built by the p.
II. X. has been found not large enough To
| accommodate the increase OF business. Car
loads of goods are received here and deliver
ed to points i'm this and adjoining counti, s.
The freight is principally agricultural i'm
plemcnts.
| Religious Intelligence.
The religious interest continues at the
Methodist church. The protracted efforts
which have been going on for several weeks
will, no doubt, close this week. The pastor
Rev. r. w. Humphriss, will leave on tho
10th inst, to attend the annual session OF the
Philadelphia conference, TO be held in Phila
| delpha. This will be the closing year o
| Rev. Humphriss' pastorate with this people
| The meetings at the Bethel Church of God
under the direction OF the evangelist, Jones
continue with unabated interest and Tn,
membership appear to be very much in earn
est IN tneir goou work.
Lenten services are held daily in st Paul
+. r., St Johns Lutheran and all the Catho
Ic-churches
