IN the letter from Hampshire this
week our correspondent sends us a
Christmas present that we appreciate
as much as any we expect to get; and
that is the good will, the friendship
aud the blessings Of Christian man.
We wish in return for him that his
already long life may yet be length
ened many years, and that peace and
plenty may always be his, and that
he may at all times be surrounded by
and feel the comfort Of such friends
as he is to us.

1.-THE Grand Daughter of President
Polk" makes a more or less attrac-
tive head line, but we beg to suggest
to some of our contemporaries that
they should be little more accurate
about something's. President Polk
was never blessed with a child, and
it is not very likely, therefore, that
he ever had a grand-child. Not a
drop of President Folks blood courses
in Mrs. Sadie Polk Gardner's viens.
Neither Mrs. Gardner nor Mrs. Gard
ner's mother are related in the most
remote degree to the late President
Polk. 1t is time the country was I'M

The Man Abeut FeWH.

Next Sundays dawn will usher into
the world the day of the year the most
observed Christmas, the universal
festal day. To it's coming the little ones
have been eagerly looking forward LOT
weeks. To them it is still glad real'ty
and Santa Claus has not yet become 10
them a dream of the past. They VIII
hang up their little stockings and go TO
bed Christmas Eve with the serene
faith that the Christmas dawn will ind
them full to overlooking with good
things such as only Old Santa knows
how to select. 1t is time of glad re-
ioicing all over the civilized world, but
to many, whose childhood idols have
been shattered in the battle of life, and
who have lived through many Christ
masses to find their cup of sorrow scarce
Iy less full than at other periods of the
year-whose struggle for existence and
whose contract with the stern realities
of life has left them little time or ineIi-
nation for enjoyment-it will bring lit
tie of pleasure, except it be the satisfac-
ton of seeing others happy. AS it is a
time of Joy and rejoicing, it should be
a time of charity. Let those who are
warmly clad and have good and com
Portable homes, remember, as they SIT
down to their sumptuous Christmas
dinners, that right here in Columbia
perhaps under the shadow of their own
elegant homes-are deserving objects
of charity. Christmas is time OF CIV
ing and receiving. Let not the obJects
of giving be confined to those from
whom you expect to receive, but make
glad the hearts and homes of those who
are nov able to give. "The greatest OF
these is C harity."

AMUSEMENTS.

Gov. TayIor's lecture at The Opera
House on Thursday evening of last
week was the acme of enjoyment.
He was accorded, as he deserved, b
very large audience, and but for de-
layed trains and dark, threatening
weather, standing room would have
been at q premium. The audience
was not only large, but was highly
representative in it's character, ladies
and gentlemen from very many dis
tricts in the country being present.
To attempt synopsis OF what was
said, would be to do an injustice TO
the great orator and inimitable hum
orist. Suffice it to say that he not
only pleased but delighted his audi
ence. Moo ever listened for an
hour and half to happier combi-
nation of wit and humor, eloquence
and pathos, than was heard on this
occasion. To appreciate Bob Taylor
is to hear him; to hear him is never
/ to forget him. He promises to come
again in the spring and deliver the
| lecture ne is now writing, on "Fools. -
In choosing his subject he says he
does not mean anything personal TO
the Legislators who will vote against
his going to the United States
Senate.

Pleasant on Friday evening next,

Bow" A special car viii be run

Olson" This piece was the father,
that is, the original, of all the

hit it made as a novelty prompted
numerous persons to launch upon the
theatrical sea a number of limitations.
Despite this fact, "Ole Olson" con-
tinued it's trium plant career and put
many shekels in the managers peck
cts. The success of the play last sea-
son was so pronounced that the
owners resolved to make special
production this season. With that
end i'll view they had the play re-
written, the characters strengthened
and many other improvements made
Then a company OF exceptional
strength was engaged and new and

will be attired in native costumes and

THE sad accident at Knoxville
whereby young Powell was killed by
a pistol in the hands of w. ]. Whit
thorne, Jr., is pathetic beyond the
power of words to express. Not
even the mother of the dead student
will experience more poignant grief
than the gentle boy who was the
innocent cause OF the tragedy. The
circumstances show that he could
not by any possibility be 20 blame,
even for earelessness, but this will
not soothe his deep distress. Time
alone can assuage his anguish, but
whatever sympathy can do to relieve
his distress will be his in profoundest
measure. A purer, gentler, manlier
youth than he the State does not
afford. He has every element OF
promise, both of mind and character
and the future has nothing too bright
for his merits. 1t does seem hard
that such q life should be darkened
almost upon it's threshold by this
overwhelming calamity. Time alone
will lift the shadow and bring good
out of what now seems messureless
disaster.
