EXCURSION FROM
COLUMBIA CAME
Crowds Came in to See the
Effects of the Flood.
An excursion came into the city
Tuesday morning over the Southern
road with 600 passengers. The train
arrived in the city at 11.40 o'clock.
The excursion was a mixed one and
about 400 of the passengers were
white. The people of South Carolina
and Georgia are ail very naturally
anxious to see Augusta after the flood.
Stories that, have absolutely no found
ation have been circulated through
out the country districts and thus the
curiosity of the people has been
aroused to see the sights.
Those that came with the expec
tation of seeing a ruined and help
less city will go hack home disap
pointed. hut those who came to see a
proud and undaunted city rising from
the effects of the worst disaster that,
has ever befallen it, will find that
the work of recovery from the wa
ters is far beyond their expectation.
Numerous Columbians are known in
the city and they are spending a
pleasant day with friends and rela
tives. The influx of 600 people on
| the streets, and most of them on
Broad street, makes it look like Sat
| urday on a busy fall day. Numbers
iof them are here to do shopping and
| some of the stores are doing a rush
i Ing business.
The excursion will leave the uniou
| station Tuesday night at 8 o’clock.

A WOMAN'S LOVE.
Man knows not love such ns a wo
man feels.
In him it is a vast devouring flame—
Resistless fed—in Its own strength
consumed.
In woman's heart it enters step by
step.
Concealed, disowned, until Its gentle
ray
Breathes forth a light, illumining her
world.
Man loves not for repose: he woos the
flower
To wear it as the victor’s trophled
crown:
Whilst woman, when she glories in
her love.
More like the dove. In noiseless con
stancy
Watches the nest of her affection till
Tis shed upon the tomb of him she
loves.
