pting.— A woman stepped

pair under her scarf. The gen

Bainbridge Argus.— This excellent
journal which was stopped during tbo war,
and on tha return of peace was resumed
under the title of The Chart <£• Compass,
has changed its name again to Bainbridge
Argue. Wo congratulate our friend, Willis
M. Russell, the proprietor, on this change.
We think it better suited to tho times, and
will, we hope, prove indeed an Argue, and
be like its great mythological namesake, of
which the poet observes :
“This Argus doth o’er tho people's rights
an eternal vigil kcop ;
No soothing strain of Maria’s son shall
lull his hundred eyes to sleep!”
Our “prop.” used to have a hand in that
office—“a finger in that pi”—once upon a
time, and pleasant recollections of that
fertile and hospitable region well np in his
memory as ho glances over the pages of the
Argue. Long may it wave and flourish,
and continue its welcome visit to our sane*
turn.
An Undeserved Kiss.—A diffident
bachelor of Hartford was, one evening, re
cently, sitting in the balcony of his hotel,
ruminating upon his loneliness, and enjoy
ing the balmy spring breeze. The seat
which he oocupied had been vacated but a
short time before by the gentle husband of
a loving wife, with whom the happy man
had been chatting. In a few moments tho
lady returned, and, mistaking the stranger
for her husband, tenderly and passionately
encircled his neck with her fair arms, and,
giving him an affectionate kiss, remarked :
“Come, darling, is it not time to retire ?”
The relator of tho incident did not await
the denouement.— Exchange.
A friend, reading the above, had the
cruelty to ask us to suppose that we were
placed in that fix! and then had the au
dacity to emphasise it with that exclama
tion which is nearest represented, in print,
by whew! We couldn’t comply —we
couldn’t “suppose” for an instant—it made
onr blood run cold, our flesh creep ; and—
we really hope that no “loving wife” will
mistake us for a married loan. Oh dear,
no! We should “retire” before wo could
allow the “darlings” to take that, liberty
with us. Just let them try it. That's all.
Got Scared.—A countrymen came
into tho city on Wednesday to sell his
batch of cucumbers and see the Fourth of
July. Revalued the produce at four dol
lars. At noon ho had not disposed of them,
and when the national salute commenced
firing he got frightened, thought the war
had commenced again, sold his cucumbers
for twenty-five conts, and made tracks for
home as fast as his mule could loeomote.
He could not stand the noise of the big
guu3, and possibly thought the conscript
officer would be around again soon.—At
lanta Neut Era.
Se De Kay.—This gentleman, well
known to a number of our citizens as one
of the editors of the Cuuetitutivnaliet, about
the close of the war, and long known as
one of the editors and subsequently war
correspondent of the Louisville (Ky.)
Courier, is now engaged in writing a his
tory of the gallant Kentucky Infantry
Brigade; and, through the columns of the
Louisville Courier, calls upon his old com
rades, and all whe know anything of the
history of the said Brigade, to send to him
such information as they may possess in
reference to it. Wo commend his enter
prise to the attention of all the friends of
that glorious band of veterans, and ask its
friends to comply with Mr. D. Kirke’s re
quest as speedily as possible.
Reduction op Telegraphic Charges.
—The Southern Express Company have
reduced their telegraphic rates one-half to
all points on their lines. This is good nows
for tho community, and a good move for
the Company. We hope that a large in
crease of business may compensate them
for this timely reduction. We need more of
this spirit; until we havo it, wo may man
age to live on each other, but will never
get rich.— Columbia S. C. Patriot.
Musical Entertainment. Hett’s
Band will give a Musical Entortainmcnt at
Bender’s Garden, Shultz’ Hill, S. C., on
Wednesday evening, the 11th inat. They
will give one of these Entertainments every
Monday night till further notice. See ad
vertisement for further particulars.
Fire. —The alarm of fire on Satur
day night, about 12 o’clock, was occasioned
by the burning of a kitchen on the prem
ises owned by Mr. J. M. Snellibg, at the
lower end of Telfair Street.
Recorder’s Court. —This Court had
but throe cases before it yesterday morn
ing—one white and two black—all 18th Sec
tions, found guilty and fined accordingly.

brings us the Now York Herald of July 7th.
What a handy thing is this Southern Ex
