Our exchanges are all blowing this combination as one of the best that has ever been exhibited, and we pre sume, as they have seen the show they know whereof they vaunt.

We have in our office a specimen of Americus bananas, which for size and flavor surpasses any of the family brought to our city through commer cial channels. Mr. A. J. Buchanan, who lives on Jackson street, is the successful grower of this fine sample of tropical fruit. This stalk has been under his tutilar care for four years, and has brought its luscious burden to maturity this fall. It requires from three to four years for it to bring forth its fruit. After bearing, the yielding stalk dies down, to be followed by succors, which in like manner, after due time, also bears its fruit and dies. The flavor of the specimen in our office surpasses in flavor any we have tasted. This is only one of the attrac tions of our semi-tropical city. Best Gilt Edge Butter in 51b pails. Hamil Bko’s. A Hyena. Catamount or Leopard. Policeman J. W. Cobb, while fish ing intheMuckalee one day last week in the rear of Ed. Littleton’s place, was startled by the appearance of a large animal, on the opposite side of the creek which came out of the jungle of the swamp. He says that it was about three feet high,six orseven feet long, with a short tail and spotted all over like a hyena. The animal looked at him, stretched itself on its legs, opened its mouth which was armed with formidable tusks about as long as a man’s fingers. The ani mal went behind a tree and peeped at Cobb for a few seconds nnd then disappeared in the canebrake, and Cobb made tracks for the city at race horse speed although ho declares that he was not scared a particle, was as cool as he was when he captured Gen eral Walker. He says that he does not know what kind of an animal it was, at first he thought it a tiger, then a hyena, or a catamount, and it might have been a leopard. Just Received. Fresh gilt edge Butter and Cheese at Ed. Anbley’s. A Tough Yarn. The following was told us by a gen tleman who saw the occurrence: I had been fishing for bream in a slough that runs up from the Flint, for about an hour, sitting quietly on the bank, and had caught about a dozen, when a small alligator crawled out on the bank directly opposite me and went to sleep. It was probably about four and a half feet long, and I was trying to concoct a plan to capture it alive, as I had no gun with me to shoot it. I suppose it had lain asleep about half an hour, when I saw'a very large wild cat on the same side of the slough, picking its way along towards the sleeping alligator, which had dried off and looked like a rusty chunk of wood. As it got close enough it stepped on the tail of the ’gator and commenced scratching the bark off, as you’ve seen house cats do. The ’gator soon awak ened and flirted the cat around, caught it in its mouth, and then commenced a fight. Alligators seldom turn any thing loose after they get hold, and the cat growled, spit, scratched and bit fearfully. I could see the ’gators blood all under its throat that the sharp claws of the hind feet of the cat cut into every time they struck. The alligator shook the cat like a terrier shakes a rat, and soon they rolled into the water and made it boil in their struggles. Presently they sank from sight, but in a few seconds the cat rose to the top, made a few struggles and expired. A few minutes after the al ligator crawled out on my side of the creek, with one eye scratched out and lying still for ten minutes, I approach ed, struck it on the head with a pine knot, but found it also dead. On turning it over I found its throat scratched clear through, and a hole big enough into ram my fist through. FOR LADIES ONLY. NOVELTIES INFANCY RIBBONS JUST HECEIV>D!!

Miss Claire Seott. This lady appears iu the Opera House on Monday night, Oct. 10th. The Charleston News and Courier thus speaks of her: Miss Claire Scott made her first ap pearance iu Charleston last evening before a large audience at the acade my of Music, in ‘Leah, the Forsaken.’ The play in which Miss Scott takes the title role is one of considerable merit and affords ample opportuni ties for a display of dramatic and ar tistic power. It is a tragedy based upon the persecution of the Jews in Germany, and the sentiments and feelings portrayed in the drama are such as appealed to the interests and sympathies of the audience. Miss Scott, as ‘Leah, as Outcast,’ exhibited considerable artistic excel lence, and at times gave evidence of more than ordinary dramatic ability. She was frequently and enthusiastic ally applauded. Mr. S. K. Coburn, the “ltudolph” of the play, acted well and displayed a thorough knowledge of his delicate role. “Ludwig” (Mr. A. A. Itumble) performed his part creditably, and his hits were well conceived and pleasantly rendered. CHEAP MONEY. Now is the time for farmers to arrange for money to improve their farms, their homes, and pay up all their debts, get improved farming implements, and fix themselves to make their crops next year on a casli basis. This can be done by taking a mortgage loan for three, four or five years. The loans only bear 8 per cent, per annum, and expenses of negotiating are light. It is the cheapest money to be had.

COMMUNICATEDi Editor Republican: I see in your issue of October 7th, in which you say on Wednesday night after the election you heard one of the colored persua sion, after he got some two or three drinks of uncle Alex.’s Jeffersonian Democracy in, exclaim that he was borned in Georgy and was raised here, and that some of these low ne groes tried to get him to vote for me, but he would not do it, and that he intended to vote the Democratic ticket. You say the above was reported to you by some person. Perhaps it was the person that furnished the colored man with that whisky which caused him to feel so much of Jeffersonian Democracy running through his veins, for on the day of the election the Bourbons were the only ones who gave the sons of Ham whisky on that day. I write for the benefit of those who do not know my past history. I will state when a boy I enlisted the Democratic Mexican war, although a Whig, and after the war voted for General Scott as a Whig. In 1855 and 1856 I canvassed for the Democratic party and run a paper in East Alaba ma in the interest of Buchanan for President. He let play round and loose and we got into the war with United States and I voted for Stephen A. Douglass, the nominee of the Democratic party in 1860 by the fail ure of Southern Democracy to support Stephen A. Douglass, the nominee of the party we were plunged into a horrible war, but true to my own na tion, South Georgia, I left a wife, two little children (one a lovely babe) and went into the service of my country, and through four long years defended my State, and on the last day, under General Lee, our command was cap tured by General Sheridan, and I was taken to John’s Island with seven hundred of Lee’s officers and kept there for three months after the war was over; returning home found my wife and children without any sup port the rade having taken everything from them. I then voted for Seymore for Presi dent and canvassed for him. Then the Democratic party nominated one Horace Greeley, and you, Mr. Editor, pufferated the Avenues of Americus, and vitalized the heir for him. I re fused to support him, he was the fath er of the Republican party, and was truly called a Radical. He advocat ed social equality, mixed schools, churches and everything else, which was ruinous to Southern society, and the certain ruin of the two races more certainly the colored. The only safe way to keep up the colored race is to exclude the whites from the blacks; let them have their own preachers and teachers; let them be as they are. I was not nominated or endorsed as a candidate by any party. Had I been by the Republicans,perhaps they would have taken some interest in my election, they having some thousand or twelve hundred voters in the coun ty. Now if I ran without authority of yours, remember I acted on your advice two years ago, and remember it is human to err but divine to forget and forgive. lam respectfully your obedient servant. L. F.

NEW YORK FASHIONS; Fall Milliner}'—•Einbroiilercil Cos ts, ui CN—ltcd ingotes—Jackets. Upon your felt or velvet bonnet you may place adore, pigeon, hawk, crow, partridge, wild duck or the like—not all, hut any one. Your choice being made, proceed to flatten down your bird; passing your velvet or ribbon trimming over the body and under the wings, allowing the head to nestle either on your back hair, or to look reproachfully from the front. I alone, however, am responsible for the adverb of discontent just employed since the fashionable in tellect approves of such ornamentations, and think them “sweet.” All sufficing ly sweet, indeed, because one secs little else combined in the way of bows or the like. Again you can group several little birds together, the assembled cluster being reckoned equivalent to the single large one. Cocks’ heads likewise are highly esteemed;sometimes two together fight a perpetual battle, while masses of cocks’ plumage depend on either side. But one can hardly go astray in the way of feathers. ’Tis a season of them, and oftentimes differ ent kinds are sewn together in a patch work sort of way. Ostrich plumes are indispensible, and the broad brimmed straws with velvet crowns are so cover ed with them that they will be worn all winter. Felts are in immense de mand, colored to suit costumes, while dressier styles are of velvet, shapes be ing very much like those of last sum mer—capotes or pokes with a minority of wide brims. Flowers are hardly seen, though a few very large ones of velvet have been imported. Neverthe less, for theatres, etc., there are lovely little bonnets made entirely of flowers. A word, too, as to your winter’s um brella, since there is an improvement worth mentioning. In buying, ask for one having the new spring acting catch for holding it open or closed. The old wire springs so unsightly, and liable to get out of order are completely done away with, and undoubtedly this is the greatest step in advance since the in vention of paragon frames. HELP YOURSELF. What is to hinder your devising for yourself one of those soutache embroid < red costumes that are the special feat ure of dress this winter? Nothing at all, if you have sufficient ingenuity and leisure. So many yards of cashmere or camel’s hair; so much soutache braid to match; have the design stamped; set to work and in a short time, behold your costume. Very stylish are pyra midal patterns covering the front breadth with touches for sleeves and corsage, but as a change, come dress patterns, provided with bands of vari ous widths, while as to the making, there is more to be said than I can pos sibly tell you, so I would refer yon to Lord ifc Taylor’s Fall catalogue, where are not only illustrations of all new styles, but a series of ably written arti cles on every department of dress. out-door garments. Happy is the woman who will pos sess a redingote of embroidered wool to match her dress. With admirable fore sight, provision is made by which the outside world shall know that she has that costume, since the outer garment is cut to open down the front, disclos ing the embroidery. The most illogi cal reader may now furthermore sur mise that if a dress can be embroidered, why not a redingote? The conclusion is most reasonable. So many more yards of wool goods, so much more braid. You are fully equipped, and beyond peradventure, are fashionable. As to colors, there are olive or forest greens, brown, blue, ruby, terracotta, plum and the wine colors. Different shades of each, or black. JACKETS. The day of jackets, however, has not departed. For young ladies, embroid ered ones of cashmere, etc., will often be preferred to the redingoteß just men tioned, and of course are more easily gotten up at home, because smaller. Velvet jackets too are very stylish; coming in all new colors, and if made of nonpareil velveteen, costing two dol lars a yard, are by no means expensive. Its durability can be depended upoD, since the great competition in velve teens and the determination not to be surpassed, or indeed equaled, led the manufacturers to seek improvements, which have resulted in the production of a fabric without a possible rival, though there are many imitations. It is not obligatory that the jacket should match the costume in color, and we shall find pretty effects produced by contrasts; or again, a black dress could he tastefully enlivened by a jacket,more or less bright in hue. Garnet or crim son would not be too gay according to present ideas, while a choice is given among forest or olive greens, terracotta, blue, brown, purple or plum. Basques differing from the skirt are too conven ient to be relinquished, and this Fall, seem as much in favor as ever. Either of plain goods or brocade, or striped with plain skirt. But indeed there is no rule and any contrast that looks well is permissable. Lucy Carter. Get the Original.
