The Twelith,
Prof. Aeostini's twelfth excursion of
the season will take place to-morrow ou
the steamer Passport. These excursions
have proved a very delightful feature of
the warm weather and have been well
patronized. The season is now drawing
rapidly te a close and we presume that
this fact will have its due influence on
the prospects for to-morrow.
Brcntaao's Aquatic Monthly
For August has just been received. It
is illmstrated by a fine lull-length portrait
f Weston, the chapion pedestrian of
the world, and contains a large amount
of interesting and Instructive matter rela
tive to athletic, aquatic and other sports
which are bow so justly popular. It is
valuable to the yachtsman, the rifle
shooter and to all others who are fond oi
athletic sports and physical development.
It avoids allusion to the brutalities of the
fighting arena, but is in every way a first
class sporting journal. Subscription
price $4 per annum. Published monthly
at Brentano's Literary Emporium. 39

The Board of Aldermen, j
The Board of Aldermen met yesterday
at 5 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment of
the afternoon previous, when the follow

Alderman Hill offered a resolution to
the effect that the operation of the cattle
ordinance be suspended until the next reg
ular meeting of the Board, in ord er to
give complainants a hearing. j
Alderman King moved to amend so as
to make the suspension extend to the 1st
of November next, which was agreed to.
The resolution of Alderman Hill, as
amended, was then passed.
Petitions of Meerrs. G. M. Harriss and
J. H. Williams, for permission to ertct
houses on Foirth, between Nun and
Church streets, were granted.
Petition of Col. J. W. Atkinson, for
permission to erect a wooden building on

Chasten's store, on North Water street.
between Princess and Chestnut, was re
ferred to Committee on Fire Department.
The Board then adjourned.
Pilots' Pay.
To the Editor of thi Herald:
Will you please let me and the public
know through yoa valuable paper wny
our pilots on the coast of America should
in these hard times have tbe same pay as
thev did in eood times? In 1866-67-68-
69 I. as shipmaster, was making $200
per month, paying twenty-five cents per
pound for beef. Now I am glad if I can
get$70 per month, but can buy good meat
for eight and ten cents per pound, wny
should pilots have the same pay when we
carry oil to Europe for three shilling?
We don't thiuk we ought to pay the
same pilotage as when we got seven and
eight shillings. But neither government
nor newspapers seem to think anything
about our snipping only to drive it from
the sea and us poor unfortunate shipmas
ters to the. poor house If it was a rail
road, street car. Coal miues or! oil wells
that suffered :t would soon be taken in
hand. !

Philadelphia. He was on board twenty -

Home Politeness.
A boy who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every ono
else. A boy lacking politeness to his
parents may have the semblance of cour
tesy in society, but is never truly polite
in spirits, and is in danger, as he becomes
familiar, of betray lug his real want ol
courtesy. We are all in danger of living
too much for the outside world, for j the
impression wnich we make in society,
oveting the good opinions of those who
are in a sense a part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and, be interest
ed in us, notwithstanding these defects of
deportment and character. We say to
every boy and girl, cultivate the habit of
coartesy and propriety at home in the
sitting-room and the kitchen, as well as
in the parlor, and you will be sure in
other places to deport yourself in a be
coming and attractive manner. When
one has a pleasant smile and a graceful
demeanor, It is a satisfaction to know that
these are not put on, but that they belong
to the character, and are manifest at all
times and under all circumstances.
Some of the Old Folks.
From Mr. Walker Meares, who is now
engaged in taking the census of the city,
we learn that he met with some old people
while engaged in his work. Clem Smith,
colored, claims -to be 110 years old,
and gives as data the following : When
quite a young man he belonged to a
man named B-illoon, (and then runa
ning on a small coasting vessel between
Lock wood's Folly and this city. During
one of tre trips between the two places
New Inlet broke open, and on the return
trip to this city, ht? saw it for the first
time. 1 '..'!
If we mistake not, the Inlet w as form
ed something over one hundred and ten
years ago, and if what Clem said is true
he is an older man than he thinks for.
A colored woman, whose name, we have
forgotten, claims to be considerably over
one hundred. She says she is a genuine
African, and wail brought from Africa
direct to Charleston. She gives no data
as to her age and does not seem to be in
the enjoyment of her mental faculties.
She has the appearance of being an old
woman, and is shrivelled and drled-up
until She looks like a mummy. Her body
is hardly larger than that! of a twelve-year-old
child.
Old jAukt Nancy Corcoran, who is
known to many i our old citizens, claims
to be somt thing over a hundred. She is
the mother of "old Uncle Billy Oorco
ran," who died some two years ago. It
will be remembered that old Uncle
Billy was a drayman for many years and
was in the employ of Mr. Jno Dawson for
a long time before his death. It is
thought that he was nearly seventy at the
time of his death. He 1 was the fifth
child, and by a second marriage, of Aunt
Nancy, ! " :
There are many persons in the j city
who claim to be on the shady side of
ninety but as there are no dates by which
to ascertain their ages we have taken
count of only those who claim that they
can establish the fact that they are cen
tenarians. In a few days theJREviEW pro
poses to give some interesting facts about
the inhabitants of this city. There are
some very queer, as will as as very old,
people living in this community aad we
ill endeavor to give our readers the bene
fit of every thing of the kind we can hear
of.
