In Columbia. S. C., oil Monday night, a
large and brilliant meteor fell perpendic
ular to the earth. The light waa of a
bluish tint, and left a streak of light as
it passed through the air. but the ball nr
meteor itself inside the flame was of a red
dish cast.
A novel method of "watering stock,” it
now practiced at Washington. When a
drover wishes to go to market, he first
tricks Ids cattle into swallowing a large
amount of salt, which of course Is followed
by drinking copious draughts of water thus
increasing their weight many pounds.
Well, well, well. Who would have
thought it? There la actually 17000 in
Washington which nobody claim* and no
body will take. It it in the hands ofSeu
ator Poland, and ia a part of the Credit

O the snore, the beautiful snore, tilling

flute-like subsiding, then rising again, is
the beautiful snore of Elizabeth Jane.
Two Columbus boys went courting iq

wagon to the fence and went in the house.
Horse wandered off. Landlady sent col

The llnal parting oi Colfax with bit

We thought Unzetngembe Ujiji Dr. Liv
ingstone Stanley bed left this country long
ago. We are sorry to see this is a mis
take. On the flret page of this paper yes
terday, appeared an account of his visit to
that important fractional part of the Uni
ted Slates known as Chicago—which is
the Indian name for "big blow.” He went
there to deliver a lecture upon Africa gene
rally and Dr. Livingstone particularly.
He employed a yankec by the name of
Doerland for his doorkeeper, who dis
charged his onerous duties in tLc usual
style—that he stood at the door and took
in ail the cash, and whilst Stanley was
boring the audience with his lecturs, Door
land was walking out of town with the
funds. The next morning Stanley had to
foot it around town and pay up his print
ing sud wash bills out of the money lie
had made before going to Chicago. This
left him about flat broke, which will ne
cessitate a longer stay with us, and in that
way we are close partners in ids misfor
tunes. Wc will never forgive you, Door
lsod.
Stanley was the last job turned out by old
Heiinett before lie died. Professionally lie
was an impecunious strolling correspon
dent of a London uewspa[>er, and in that
capacity weut to the coast of Africa. Hen
nett there wrote to him and sending a few
hundred dollars told him to go sod fiud
Dr. Livingstone. lie made a great parade
and blow about starting, and sent the Her
ald the minutest details of it. Going out
in the jungles about a hundred miles, he
pitched his tent and remained there until
it whs time to return This he did success
fully and then came in due course of time
about forty columns in the New York Her
aid, telling how he f'oun 1 aud interviewed
the venerable old traveller,how he looked,
how he talked, what he said, what he bad
been doing, and what was going to do. To
say that the Herald made a ten strike
with Stanley would be very mild.
Tbs Luge lioax was so successful that it
was followed by a book, aud lastly by a
course of lectures as above described. Hut
we submit that its time for tiiis Stanley to
tuks up some honest employment. We
have had not only enough but too much
of him. He is plsyed out. We want a
new humbug.
Sitting in the reading room of an Atlan
ta hold the other day we found out somo
valuable information for travelers. The
contents of the library consisted of one
standard copy of the City Directory cliain
<hl to a desk, and four diflercnt handbills
of four railroads. After looking over the
Directory and seeing that small pox aud
mcnengitis did not live there, we read over
the handbills By tint first one wc found
eut that it was "one hundred miles shor
ter over the Western and Atlantic to New
Y'ork than auy other route." That the
Georgia road was also one hundred miles
shorter tv New York than any other route.
That the Macon nud Western was one
hundred miles shorter than any other,
aud that the Atlanta and West Point was
oue hundred miles shorter to New Y’ork
than by any other route. They all agreed
that it was four huudred miles to New
York over each liue, and you see therefore
by taking all four routes you would not
have to go to New Y'ork at all. When the
Air Line road is completed it will be one
hundred aud fifty miles sharter to New
Y’ork than any other route ; but that is
like the Natural Bridge in Virginia when
Gsu. Taylor lust saw it, "not quite fin
ished.”
Wohsk and Worse. —We mentioned
yesterday that John Bull was bellowing
with rage at the yaukees for cheating him
out of fifteen million dollars, (and boasting
ot it aftewardstat Ueucva, stealing another
million from bis bank nud a considerable
sti ip fYom bis possessions in North America
Gladstone was bis chief minister or pre
mier, whilst these things were going on,
aud order to repair damages and get back
into favor be introduced a bill to cheat the
Irish in some way, by a bill known as the
"Irish University Bill." YVe have only
"read it by title" aud therefore don’t exact
ly know its proviaions. But it is pretty
safe to assume that there was some rascali
ty about it.
The dispatches intimate that Disraeli

He is a self made man who lias plenty of
brains, even ii O'Connor did once tell him
"be was a Jew and a lineal descendant of
the unrepentcut thief who died on the
croes."
Situ eloquent efforts are being made
by the frienda of the stockholders in Credit
Mobilier that they themsrlvee are in great
doubt about their guilt. This has its pre
cedent, for it it related of old Uoveruor
Hammond that he ouce defended a fellow
for stealing a horse, and got him acquitted
by sheer force of eloquence. After the
trial was over aud the prisoner discharged,
a chum of his wcut up to him and said :
“ Now, Tom. I want to know benor bright
if you did steal that horse?” “Well, Bob,
for a long time 1 thought 1 stole him, but
since I beard the Governor’s speech I
don't believe I did.”

Grant has been guilty ef a piece of impu

is a fellow who held theofllce of Governor
of North Carolina, who was impeached of
high crimes and misdemeanors, turned
out, and now taken up by the Piesideutof
