THE TRUE LADY.-The lady does
not lose caste because she makes her
" clothes, and is Obliged TO econ
om;se. A lady is a woman who
clearly understands, and consistently
practises the re6nements of a highly
civilized existence ; and the most
real distinction between a lady and
a woman who is not a lady, is that
one is more civilized than the other,
and more determined to preserve
the habits OF a high civilization, both
10 her own person and in all those
over whom she has authority. These
habits are not simply habits OF ex.
pense, it is cheaper to remain sober
than to get tipsy, and yet it is more
lady like to be sober.
It does not cost more money &c
speak good English than bad, or to
be gentle than rude /; yet a lady
from preference, speaks %correc,!,
and has gentle manners. 1t 20 hap
pens by tie force of circumstance:
that there are more ladies IN the MP
per classes than in the lower, anC
that there is severe public opinio.
in the upper classes about mos
things which, taken together, consti
tute civilization, because it is a taul
in rich people who have great tacil
tiles, not to be clean, and polite
when IL may only 1be a misfortune
to the poor ones. There is, then
really such a thing as ladyhood, ant
it is one OF the strongest Of clvilizinE
Influences.

NEWS.

One hundred and eighty tents
were seut from Raleigh to Charles
ton last Monday.
Charleston had another slight
shock at II AZ a. m, September eth.
Scientists say that a revis'tation OF
the shocks may be expected every
day for several weeks.
Dispatches continue to pour into
Charleston, Offering aid. About
$4,000 had already reached there
up to last Monday. 1t is believed
tba, the contributions will finally
aggregate 100000.
Upon hearing of the disaster at
Charleston, Gov. Scales OF this State
at once ,elegraphed Gov. Shepherd
of South Carolina I'VE have news
of the terrible calamities in your
State. How can We best aid your
people? Will gladly come to their
relief"
On St. Helena Island, off the
South Carolina coast, several large
openings were made by the earth
quake aud piles of mud and sand
we're thrown out. Near the Coosaw
mines there is a crack 10 the earth
200 feet loug and six inches wide at
the top.
The Raleigh Nems and Observer
says that most of the chlmneys
which we're thrown down there, were
of family construction or else out of
plumb. In most cases only the tops
fell. Some people say if the shocks
had been a trife harder some brick
buildings would have fallen.
There were 90 deaths in Charles
ton for the week ending Sept. 4th.
OF these % were white and IS col
ored. The deaths caused by the
earthquake were 80 up to the 4th
ms, IL OF these beng white people
and u colored. Since then there
have been additional deaths caused
by the earthquake.
Despite the loss by the earth
quake, Charleston is in as good pc.
sition as ever tor the transaction o1
the usual autumn trade. There is
ample warehouse and wharf room
congresses are in trim, and mcr
chants and factors are ready to dea
expeditiously with all business tina
offers. This statement is. made ts
correct an existing erroneous i'm
preston that the commercial facill
ties of the port are impaired.
, The City Appraiser, who has gone
over the whole city, aud is tamil'a
with the value of property, esti
i, mates that it will cost at least SIS,
f 100000 to put Charleston in a posi-
, ton as good as that which it occu
, pied a week ago. Another assesso
places the damages at 100000 0C
Buildings which were considere'
entirely safe are now discovered t
be in q dangerous condition, AM
persons who thought that they ha'
: escaped without injury find them
selves confronted by damages whicI
g are entirely beyond their means t,
repair.
n Major Powell, of the geological
survey, stationed at Washington
says there is a line Of weakness il

and extending in a line along lll
