* 'lf Crops.—Mr. Henry Miller, who
,B4«i tho neighborhood of Mcßcan, in

Slw and the adjoining country aro la
aißßßj unpromising. The long drought
we have been and ure still vis

fefsjßSponc by lazy freedmon and the grass.
is everywhere parched ; and
giißfc occasionally a cloud heaves in view,
I Bpahing breezo springs up, and the
vrJpw.of thunder is heard,no rain falls. It
by many that tho crops are irre-
lost. Wo would fain bo contrary
but nothing is impossible with Him
Is HBhc bands we are.
MfcoßDEK's Court.—There were but
■iKh before this Court yesterday. An
BKpd dissolute freedman was fined SOO,
MBaaty days’ work on the streets. It is
Bry long since ho left Fridge’s board
.fjH£nte—unci back thcro be will go.
AVelorvd woman, charged with violating
section, was dismissed ; and a few
were continued. If the busi-
V WfGft this Court doesn’t improve, we shall
HBp Invent cases for tho benefit of those
to read about Court House affairs.
Hion RWT9.—The Pcternburjr ImUr
of Ally list myc Ills very evident that
the rents in Petersburg tbis fall will bo
greatly roducod from the prieos of the pre
sent and past year. Thu goodly number of
stores standing idle on Sycamore, Uolling
bruok and Old stroete will compel a reduc
tion in tbo rents of those at prcscut occu
pied, and the demand for dwelling houses is
not oae-flfth as hoavy as it was last year,
and we t|re ounfident a reduction of from
fifty to a hundred per cent, will have to be
made.
Tho rents for tho pasttwelre months have
been most exorbitant, far exceeding u rea
xonable demand, and in nutnbors of instances
have we known house keopors to pay at least
one-fourth the entire value of tbo premises
occupied, and some of the stores on Syca
more street have brought amounts that be
fore tho war would have been considered n
fair price for them, accompanied with a bill
of sale. Landlords have been reaping a rich
harvest, but their day wilt soon be run, and
“ amen’’ will be tho eebo of our community.
The .Tohn'ky Rkbs.—This band of
young Confederates from South Carolina
gave their first entertainment at Concert
Hall last evening. They are highly recom
mended by citisens of Columbia, and some
of them may be known to our citizens, as,
during the war, they gave Concerts for the
honofit of tho soldiors. The troupe is com
posed of good singers, accomplished musi
cians, and experienced humorists ; and wo
hope to see them well patronized during
their brief stay in our city. They are our
own people, and giving an amusing and ac
ceptable outorlainmeut, they ought to bo
sustained.
Tbe Columbia papers have alluded to
them in high terms, but they also speak for
themselves: and we advise all who aro fond
pf good music, good singing, and a good
laugh, to go and See and hear the “Johnny
Rebs” at Concert Hall.
Sensible Conduct.—The Darlington
Southerner brings tho following interesting
piece of intelligence:
Two brothers, soldier* from tbis district,
and married meupfell at their post ot duty
in tho late war. Their wives and little
children saw before them a very gloomy
prospect. Since the close of tho war, how
ever, two old bachelor brothers of the heroic
deceased have sacrificed the charms of “sin
gle blessedness,” to a sense or duty, and
married the widows. 11l the place of suffer
ing and despondency there is now food and
protection and contentment. These true
hearted old fellows say, it was our duty to
take oaro of the fumilies of our poor brothers,
and we knew of no better way of so doing.
Tho English Parliament could scarcely re
fuse to make an exception of such a case
and declaro theso marriages valid. The ex
ample is worthy of all commendation and
imitation.
Preparing to Repair.—We notice
that preparations are in progress for re
pairs on that branch of the South Carolina
Rail Road, running through Washington
Street. While new planks are substituting
the old and worn —the drain over which
they arc laid receives tho attention of the
scavengers.
The fence circumvcsting the Carolina
Rail Road grounds, is fast approaching
completion.
Not ■'Healthy. The atmosphere
round about some one or more yarda on
Ellis Street, jnst below Campbell, is redo
lent with some kind of “scent,” very far
removed from “Night Blooming Cereus,”
or tho best Angus de Cologne. If tho Lot
Inspector would “pass that way," we are
inclined to tho belief, he would find that a
rat or something else has come out of its
hole and died.
Mr. Quinn, from his new Book and

■ —An English paper relates that Rev.
Paul Hamilton, a Scottish clergyman,
preached a farewell sermon to the ladies
of Ayr, and not a little to the surprise
of his fair auditory, gave out as his text:
“And they fell upon Paul’s uecl;, aud
kissed him.”
Rules roR Courtship.—Courtship is
a pleasant fancy game, frequently played
between tbe opposito sexes, at private
tables, and much liked by the
You commence with a ‘miss,’ first ‘taking
your cue’ from your fair challenger’s
eyes. Ba cartful not fo‘force’ 100 much |
it is better to ‘follow.’ Never struggle
for the ‘lead ;’ always yield it to the lady.
If she keeps you nt arm’s length, use
tbe ‘Bridge of Sighs.’ Explain to her
tbe delicate manoeuvres of the game —
especially tbe advantages of the ‘kiss,’
which you can illustrate by concussing
the ‘two reds.’ Observe how she ‘batiks,’
and where this is important. Tell her
what is meant by ‘hugging the cushion,’
and hint modestly at the kind of cushion
you would like to bug. If she‘scratches,’
don't mind it, but play for ‘safety;’ or, if
you have a chance, ‘run;’ but when you
have a ‘favorable opening,’ mnke a ‘bold
offer, at every ‘hazard.’ Should you
have ‘bad lack’ try again ; yon may suc
ceed in the ‘long run.’ Never think of
‘pocketing a ball’ in your own head if
disappointed. The maxim holds good
in courtship as in billiards, that it is
madness to make a ‘shot’ by which you
are sure to ‘hole yourself.’ Much de
pends upon ‘coaxing’ in this pastime.
Broadcloth, by faithfully attending to
the above hints, will generally get the
best of crinoline, and in three eases out
of five will win a ‘love game.’
—A rare conversion was witnessed
in one of the Jewish Synagogues iu
Memphis, lately, according to the jour
nals of that city. Mrs. Lewis, a Chris
tian lady, who had married a Hebrew,
openly embraced the Hebrew faith in
Church. This was probably tho first
occurrence of the kind which ever took
place in the State. Tho lady was re
married afterward according to the
Jewish rite.
—The Baptist Convention of Louis
iana has taken decided steps to educate
the orphan children of soldiers.
