Fine weather I'm charleston IRe-

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wiree.
CHARLFsToN, 8. O., Sept. 29.-ThJre
has been no recurrence of earthquake
shocks since o'clock yesterday after
noon, although some nervous persons
say they felt o slight tremor about 10
O'Clock last night. There were several
slight shocks at SummerVille last night,
but no damage is reported from any
quarter.
The weather In Charleston to-day is
mild and cold and pleasant. The sun is
shining brightly, the temperature not
oppressively warm AMI the city full of
activity and hope in spite of Virgins
fearful prOphesy. The signal officers here
have received special bulletins from
Washington to-day indicating no unusual
meteorological phenomena and pleasant
weather with the probability OF Q
shower this afternoon. This day has
been anticipated with a great deal oil
fear and trembling by hundreds Of anxious
people in Charleston. For the last three
or four nights the colored churches have
been crowded with worshipers, and
several revivRls are now in progress
among these people in the city. Ever
the most courageous have felt some dread
at the approach Of the 29th, and althougl
they have earnestly stated that they
did not believe in Virgins they
have all felt that il would b.
comfortable to live In Charleston
| after the Goth. The indications are ex
ceedingly favorable, and there are nc
premonitions of approaching shocks.
Local scientists, who have given great
study to the subject, say there is nc
danger of Q recurrence Of heavy shocks,
and the community will surely settle
down after to-day, unless there should be
an unexpected manifestation Of the dis
| turbances. A state Of feverish excitement
and foreboding seems 10 exist, however,
among those who passed through the
great shock of August Slst.

GALVESTON, TsrAs, Sept. 29-Noon.-
There are no signs here of a verifoation
Of Wiggins' predictions. The weather
which has been rainy and disagreeable
for several days broke clear to-day and
continues pleasant.

TOUCHING TRIBUTE.-A recent issue Of
the Texas Trombone contains touching tri
butte to the memory Of Mrs. Spinner, the tai.
ented wife of the editor. Hesays, feelingly ::
"Thus, my wife died. No more will those
loving hands pull of my boots and part my
back hair as only true wife can. Nor will
those willing feet replenish the coal shed or
water pail. No more will she arise amid the
tempestuous storm of winter and HE away
to the fire without disturbing the slumbels
of the man who dotted on her so artlessly.
Her memory is embalmed in my heart of
hearts / wanted to embalm her body, but
found that I could embalm her memory
cheaper.
Il procured of Eli Midget, a neighbor of
niue, very pretty gravestone. His wife
was consumptive, and he kept it on hand
for several years in anticipation of her death;
but she rallied last spring, and his hopes
were blasted. Never shall forget the poor
mans grief when asked him to part with it.
"'Take it, Spinner, and may you never
know what it is to have your soul disap.
pointed as mine has been." And he burst
into flood of tears. His split was, indeed,
utterly broken.
IT had the following epitaph engraved
upon the tombstone.
$50 the memory of Tabitha, wife OF
Moses Spinner, esq, gentlemanly editor OF
the Trombone. Terms three dollars a yenr
in advance. A kind mother and an exem-
plary wife. Office over Colmsns grocery
up two flights of stairs. Knock hard. We
shall miss thee. Job printing solicited
"Thus, did my lacerated spirit cry out in
agony, even as Rachel, weeping for hel
children. But one ray of light penetrated
the despair of my soul. The undertakel
took his pay in job printing, and the sexton
owed me little account should not have
gotten any other way. Why should we pine
at the mysterious ways of Providence anc
vicinity mot conundrum.)"

Life at q German bath begins early;
at six in the morning. or seven
in the morning at latest, the ma
ioritv of health seekers walk down to
the Homburg wells to take their pre-
scribed quantity of water. The scene
then in this charming valley is inter-
csting and lively. The long valley
leading from the Kaiser to the Eliza
beth Spring is thronged with people of
every age and nationality, all slowly
parading up and down, listening to
The music of an excellent band near
the principal well, thus shortening the
intervals necessary between the single
doses of water. At nine o'clock the en-
virons of the springs are nearly empty:
every one has hurried home for break
fast. After a pause or pleasant rest
the remainder of the forenoon is gem
orally employed in the use of the baths,
which are crowded, often over
crowded, in fact, from eleven to one,
at which time lunch again empties the
streets and calls visitors to the differ
emit hotels and restaurants. The after
noon is employed in different ways.
English visitors flock in large numbers
to the lawn tennis ground. n Of the
finest in Germany, splendidly situated
in the middle of the park, and care
fully kept in order by the administra-
ton. Others prefer excursions to the
mountains, where there is much to in
terest and amuse, and no n will omit
a visit to the ruins of the %Saalburg. an
ancient Roman ''castellum.n Between
four and five o'clock the Eeighborhood
of the springs again grows lively; many
patients now take their afternoon dose
of water, and now, just as the Eliza
beth well was the most f%,equented in
the early morning. the greater number
of visitors are gathered around the
Ludwigsbrunnen, or the iron waters.

six or half-past, the KurSaal forms the
center of attraction. 1t IS a splendid
building, the survival OF days when
the demon of play held high revels in
its gilded chambers, all of which are
spacious. the dining room especially,
which is remarkable moi only by its
size, but for the artistic and tasteful
decoration. Music enliscns the scene;
there are constant performances by
military bands in the Ku1saal Gardens.
