Also, a large Hpats, caps, etc., to «tu«aiMt The Planters' Hotel.—By the fol lowing article, which wo clip from the Columbia South Carolinian of August lGth, it will be observed that the Plan ters' Hotel of this city is about to under go a change of management, and will, at theopening of the business season, pass into the hands of Alderman T. S. Nick ereon, an experienced hotel keeper of Columbia and Charleston. We do not know what Mr. Robbins, the present lessee of thei Planters’ Hotel, intends to do; hut we extend him our good wishes, and welcome the new proprietor. The Carolinian says: What can an d Ex ample Worth Imitating. —There are probably few men in the South who, un iler adverse circumstances, have achieved greater success or conquered more diffi* oulties than our townsman, Alderman T. S. Nickerson. Away heck in JBs.'!, the traveling community remember him as the enterprising head of the Mills House, in Charleston, then and since one of the most popular hotels in the Southern puuutry. Remaining there andaccumu 'lating a handsome fortune until the breaking out of the war, his good judg ment and knowledge of the courses of truvel pointed out Columbia as a profit able scene of labor, and with that prompt, ness which characterises every act of the man, he visited the city and pur chased what was then known as Hunt’s Hotel. He refitted and gave it his own name. Nickerson’s Hotel became as well known as the Spotswood, at Rich mond, or the Astor, at New York. Travelers crowded, purse filled, and he enlarged, and enlarged, until finally well nigh the entire square, of which he was originally hut the owner of a corner, be came his by purchase. In that evil hour, we all remember, Gen. Sherman arrived, and one night saw swept away from the face of the earth house, furni ture, wines, and the hard-earned accu mulations of previous years of struggle. Undismayed by misfortune, Mr. Nicker son recommenced at once the work of re cuperation. The State Convention of South Carolina was about to assemble, and the question was whether they should go to Charleston for accommodation or take their chancel iu the Capital of the State. The ever active hotel proprietor solved the problem by a word. The Methodist Female Seminary was quick ly leased and putt in order. Mr. N. proceeded to New York and purchased an entire outfit, and here to day he still holds forth as the chief of one of the first hotels in the South. Not content with this display of enterprise—and that, too, under circumstances which to ordinary men promised no profit—Mr. Nickerson has recently purchased the well-known Flanters’ Hotel, of Augusta, Ga., and, in less than sixty days, say by the first of October, he will open an es tablishment second to none iu the South. That house has been closed for the present, but when it opens under the new management, with its re-arranged and re-furnished apartments, and an entirely re-rnodeled system of direction, we opine that it will scarcely be recog nized by its old patrons. Nickerson’s Hotel in Columbia will be still continued under the manage ment of its proprietor, and in due time the handsome site ot the old caravan sary will be covered by him with a building that will be an ornament to our city; so that while Mr. Nickerson divides his time between the Capitals of two States, Columbia will always claim him as her own. Such currente calamo is a history of one of the reconstructed men ot the South. We wish we bad more of them. Tney not only afford example and im part energy, but thev restore confidence and circulate money through the com munity in which they live. In Colum bia, Mr. Nickerson lias hosts of warm friends, who have often given testimony of their regard ter the man, and we are sure that the entire travelling commu nity will be glad that he “still lives’’ to make happy the hearts and stomachs of all who “come this way.” Patronize Home Productions.— The Savannah News & Herald, in ac. knowledging the receipt of a sample sack of flour, manufactured by Captain Thomas P. Stovall, at his Excelsior Mills in this city, says : After several days’ use we have de cided it to be the best flour we have used for a year, for general household use, and we recommend a trial to all housekeepers. Professor Blat, who writes able magazine nrticles on cook ing, recommends that all flour be pur chased and kept in sacks, but the mere fact that this flour is in sacks is its smallest recommendation. For biscuit, raised bread, pastry, or any cooking purpose, it is a a great credit to the State. Tns following unique valentine was received a by lady: sofie is the doun on the butterflies wing It is so soft ami meek softe is the voise that my tru luv dus sing lint softer yet is her crimson cheek. The following is the lady’s reply : Soft is taturs all smashed up, As soft as mash can be; But softer yet is the silly swain Who wrote that verse to me ! The London Punch completed its 50lh volume and 25th year a few days since, and the event was duly celebrated in London by a dinner, at which the pro prietors, artists and contributors pre sented a ilver “loving cup” to Mr. Mark Lemon, who, for the past quarter of a century, has edited this sprightly periodical. How natural it seems for Lemon to be editor of Punch. Severai. Houses are advertised for rent in another column. Apply to L. C. Dogas. Ladies Waists in Amkihoa. — The unnatural length and ridiculous small ness of their waists hafiles description. A waist that could he spanned is an English metaphorical expression, used in a novel; hut it is an American fact, ■ and so ulurmqig does it appear to an Englishman, that my first sentiment on view-jag the phenomenon' was one of pUy 1 for the unfortunatelieing who might possible break off in the middle, like flowers from the stalk, before flie evening. Net less extraordinary is the'size of the ladies’ arms. I saw- many which were scarcely larger than moderate sized walking sticks. Yet, strange to say, when these ladies pass the age of forty, they frequently attain an enormous size. The whole enemy of their structure is then reversed,<h|ir yvaists and afml be coming the thickest parts of their body. lle#fc is a subject worthy the contem platiou of the ethnologist. How comes it to pass that the English type—which, I presume; has not hi every case been sd affected by the admixture of others as to loose its own identity—how conics it to pass, I Say, that the English type is so strangely altered ill a fuw generations ? I have heard various hypotheses, among others, the habits of the people, the dry climate. The effect of the latter on a Europeon constitution would have ap peared to he sufficient to account for the singular confirmation, if I had not been persuaded by natives of the coun try that the small waist is mainly owing to tight lacing. This practice, it is said, is persevered in to an alarming extent; and, if report he true, it is to he* feared that the effects will be felt. by . future generations to a greater degree than they are at present.— BtMheO. Returned. —Mr. Fox returned to the city, yesterday afternoon, having in his charge Whitmore and Mitchell, who, it will he remembered, hired a horse and buggy from Mr. Dehoney, Proprietor of the Palace Stables, some weeks ago,and fled with the property from tire city. Mr. Fox overtook the thieves at or near Maybington, twenty, miles above Newbery, S. C. They were at the time contracting for the sale of the horse. The prisoners were committed to jail to await trial. Revitai.. — The Gainsvillc Air Line Eagle says that during the past week quite an interesting revival has been going on in that town. Services have been held both day and night, and-the Baptist Church has been crowded with a deeply interested congregation. Rev. J. E. Rieves has been the laboring min ister, and he has been a zegdogs, untir ing laborer. Were the same zeal and determination displayed by ministers everywhere as has been manifested by Mr. Rieves, the friends of religion could discover the star of cheer rising above their cause. Newspaper Anniversary. The Charleston Daily News, an able and interesting Southern journal, completed its first year of publication on Tuesday, the lfith inst.; and enters into a review of political occurrences during that period. We wish our Charleston co temporary unbounded success, and any number of successful anniversaries. Read This, Ladies. —ln these hard times I. Kahn & Cos. are giving a ticket to every lady who purchases $5 worth of goods, said ticket entitles the holder to a chance in a silk dress pattern valued at $75. When a hundred tickets have thus been given away, the dress will be raffled. Call and see at 262 Broad street. t Mayoralty. —Messrs.

SlLVEß.—Buying, 1.38; selling, I^l®- COTTON—The Market opened with ft better feeliDg, but on account of discour aging news from New l r ork, the market closes dull at the same figures as yesterday, viz : Middling 26a27; Strict Middling | 27a2S ; Good Middling 29. Mithrnal Affection. —Men talk of the silver cord of friendship — of the silken lies which bind young lovers to gether—of the pure affection of husband aud wife, as if it wene durable as adamant and as pure as the love of angels. But M hasty word, a thoughtless action, or a misconstrued expression, may break the first; a slight neglect, Some or a trifling favor denied, may sunder the second; add even : tho last troyed,ifor the green-eyed monster may find entrance, and blight tlqt (aipe-ti flowers jof this sweetest earthly paradise. But there is a love which neglect cannot weaken—which injury cannot''destroy— and even jealousy cannot extinguish. It is as gentle as the breeze of ovehlngj firm as the oak, and ceases only when life's last gleam goes out indfehth.’During all the vicissitudes of this changing world, iu sickness or iu sorrow—in life or in death—in childhood’s halcyon days —in youths. Untroubled hour —or in inanhood’s vigorous prime— the mother clings with the sariie unwearied 'affec tions to her child. Its the same amid the snow and frosts ot Siberia, the temperate and joyous regions ol our fair land, and among the arid sands of Africa. The anxious cares and tender attentions, and oft repeated words of a mother’s, love, are not without their happy in fluence upon the lives and characters oftheirsons. The stern rebuke of a justly offended father inav check, for a season, the rising and struggling passions of youth, hut the sacred lessons learned from a mother’s lips are engraven on the heart, and retain their power through life; in virtue’s paths and even in the career of vice, they are continually re curring to our mind, and bring with them, as farther incitements to good, all the hallowed scenes of childhood and innocence. Hard is the heart that will not melt at the recollection of a mother’s prayers ; and more obdurate still, the heartofhim who, by a course of vice,can wittingly wring her soul with anguish, and bring down her gray hairs with sor row to the gs-ave. Hark, Y'y Girls!— lt is high time that somebody told yon a little plain truth. You have been watched for a long time, a certain class of you; and it is plain enough you are laying plans to cheat somebody. Y'ou intend to sell chaff for wheat, find there is danger that some of the foolish “gudgeons” will be sadly taken in. It may not be your fault that yon be long to the “one idea party”—that the single idea of getting a husband is the only one which engrosses much of your time or attention. Your venerable mother of Eden memory w.as oalled “help for man, and you are looking for a man to help you; to help you to live the half idle,half silly way,in which you have commenced. Men who are worth having want women for wives. A bundle of gew-gaws with a string of flats and quavers,sprinkled with cologne aud set in a carmine sauce))— this is no help for a man who expects to raise, a family o( boys and girls find veritable bread and meat. The piano and the lace frame are well in their places, and so are ribbons and frills and tinsels—hut you can’t make a dinner of the former, nor a bed blanket of the Matter. And, awful as the idea may seem to you.both dinner and bed-blanket are uecessAry 1 t 6 domestic enjoyment. Life has Vts realities as well as its fancies, but you make, it all a matter of decoration, remembering the tassels and curtains, forgetting the bedstead. Suppose a young man of good sense, and of course ofgood prospects) to be looking for a wife, what chance have you to be chosen? Y r oum,ay cap him, or trap him, to catch him, but how much better to make it an object for him to catch you.! Render yourself worth clutching, and you will need no shrewd mother or managing brothers to help you to find a market.
