Change in Haka Up.
Thai reader will notice a cohsiderable
change ia the "make-up'' -of the Obskbykh,
this morning, the telegraphic dispatches and
, markets being thrown on first page, and the
looilmatter and new ad vertisements on the
fourth. This change was rendered neces-
. sary by the increasing deToand for space for
l6ublelumn"dyert&ementson the first
page, and the consequent lack of room on
that page for these advertisements and the
local matter too.
The Vagrants. -, .t . If )
The question has been asked, what can
be done with the vagrants after they are ar
rested? The answer is simple enoughf There
is abundant need of their services in various
parts of the city, and the utilization of this
numerous class who infest the city in this
work, would not only put the city in a more
healthy condition, but would also lessen the
number of cases of. burglaries and sneak
thieving in our faidst. ,v ' '

who claimed to have .been -raised la this

end 6t the two days, ouf correspondent ask
ed him for a settlement. He said all right,
and just then scooted out of the door and
fled, in the midst of a tremendous rain. Mr
Duffy expresses .the opinion , that, the

Colored Masquerade o-ui . . h
Tbe colored Bop Club gave a masquerade
ball last night. It was witnessed for a short
time by a good many of .the white youths,
who attended as spectators and sat in the
gallery. Tbe men alone were in fancy cos
tume, and all were drrased in TJ. 8. flags.
The "ladies' attired in plain bst neat cos
tuones. Tbe dancing was good, and showed
that ten years of freedom had not lost to the
negro, the ability he has always been famed
for. of shaking tbe liveliest foot in the world.
Tbe demeanor and order that prevailed was
something remarkable, knowing as we do
the (almost) murders that frequently occur
among our colored population, when they
gather in large crowds. The hotel waiters
figured most conspicuously, and : bandied
their partners as gracefully, dextrously and
tenderly as they do soup plates.
The Meeting-last Night.
Notwithstanding;, unpleasant charac
ter of the weather, last evening, a large
crowd was in attendance Upon the services
at Tryon Street M. & Church. . The church
was well filled, as indeed it has been every
night since tbe exercises began, with one or
two exceptions. The sermon of the evening
was preached by Bev W W Duncan, a Pro
fessor in Wofford College, at Spartanburg,"
S. C It was a fine revival discourse strong
and argumentative in some parts, then gen
tle and persuasive. Nine penitents Hrere at
the altar. The same deep and quiet interest
which has prevailed since the meeting be
gan, continues. 1- - - 4 '
We are sorry to hear of some bad behavior
in the rear part of the church by - a - number
of young men last night. This is very re
prehensible. They should have respect for
the church and the services, if not for them
selves, and we trust that no occasion will
arise lor us to refer to this matter again.
The IiCeture Ijast Night.
Prof Tripp delivered his lecture on La mar-
tine last evening, in the A. R. Presbyterian
Chapel to a cultivated audience. The lec
turer presented a vivid narrative of the early
life of Lamartine, dwelling on the romantic
incidents of his career, his success and mag
nificent tour in the East. This was followed
by a rapid glance at his political career, his
prodigious eloquence, and immense sacrifices
during the terrific Paris Counter Revolution
of June 1848, An explanation was made of
the failure of Lamartine, his decline in
popularity, and his long struggle with ad
versity, llis writings were next ana
lyzed, and his place fixed in French litera
ture, and the whole concluded by an elo
quent tribute to Lamartine's genius, disin
terestedness and noble and pure life. Lamar
tine was greatest as a man. In him all graces
were united; and the lecturer predicted for
him a high and enduring fame.;
A Fire Scare.
There was considerable fright in a priyate
family en yesterday, on account of the im
pression which got abroad that the house
was on fire. The first suspicion of fire was
created by a party of negroes on the oppo
site side of the street, and the suspicion
being communicated to some gentlemen,
these rushed into the house and on top of
it, and were gratified to find that the smoke
which had caused the apprehension, was
proceeding from the flue, and that all was
right. The alarm did not become general
Yesterday was a fearful day for a fire, and
this little alarm affords the opportunity to
say to people that they cannot be too care
ful while these high winds prevail. A stray
spark may be fanned into a flame, and i
flame once started, on such a day as y ester
day, there is no estimating the amount of
property which might be destroyed. There
was a goodjdeal of nneasiness in the city
on yesterday,' lest the sound 6f the fire bel
should be heard, and it is well that this was
the case, as fear is calculated to promote
caution.
A Quaint Production.
' Seyeral months ago a very aged and curi
ous lady died in this city. Some time after
her death, a member of the family was
looking through her personal effects, and
among other things found an old silk dress,
which had been laid away for years. The
old dress was valueless as it was, and it was
cut up for some purpose or other. While
the cutting up was in progress, the article
wnicn is given Deiow, was roind sewed up
ia the lining. It is a clipping from a news
paper, and the copy is old and faded. The
article itself is "quaint and curious," and
the circumstances under which it was
found, give to it an additional interest
The extract Is as follows :
Yet, I know, my friends, that there is
vast diffesence in the minds or nature of
men. Some are mild and peaceable as
lambs, while others are as "uproarious and
rambunctious as tigers. Some' will take
lateral kick as composedly as a bag of braa
and others will shake their quills at the
bare tickle of an insinuation but as their
spirits are moulded so they must eyer re
main, in spite of human admonition, in
struction or nattering. The moral and in
telleotual energies of a young child may re
ceive various inclinations by early culture
but jl tell yon, my menus, once (or all, that

"He may oftentime be subdued.but never
conquered ; the real grit of his temper can
not be wholly washed out by the suds of
instruction, nor dissolved by admonishing
acids. ' If he buds a thistle, there is little
hope of his blossoming .arose and if he
should, the thorns will still project from the
stem after the petals have withered in the

-Growing;
Better with Its Size.
The police say that as tbe town grows be
ing, it seems to be growing more order) j.
There is not near so much rowdyism here
now as there was a few years ago. Then it
was considered the smartest and the fun
niest thing in the world to go around at
night, tearing down signs and putting them
up over some sort of an establishment, the
opposite to that to which it belongde. Roll
ing' wheels and grindstones down the heayy
streets, was also considered the correct
thing, and tearing off palings and other lit
tle outbursts of humor, of this character,
were also very popular. This sort of thing
has, however, about i stopped. The,jonly
thing of the kind that has occurred lately,
was about six weeks ago, when a shoe store
sign was carried out into the middle ot the
streets.
There is not as much drunkenness in
town, either, as there was a few years ago.
A great many of the boys have "quit," and
those who do hold on are not knocking tbe
enemy so heavily as in former times. Still
there are a good many of the old "stiffs"
who stick to it steadily, trying to drink up
all there is, and with' the same measure of
success whicH has always characterized the
labors of mankind in this line.
Inability of Banks fur the Custody of
Securities.
lne decisions made witnin a rear or so
have given ample warning to persons de
positing bonds or other securities in bank
for safe keeping that if stolen therefrom the
institution cannot ordinarily be held to
make good the loss. The very latest case on
this subject will serve to reassure bank cus
tomers who have occasion to depo3it secur
ities not simply for sare keeping but as col
lateral. We refer to the decision of tbe
Maryland Court of Appeals, in Boyd & Co.
ys Third National Bank of Baltimore, which
settles tbe law, at least in Maryland. Boyd
& Co., deposited bonds to the value of $26,-
500, as general collateral to secure tbeir ac
count with the bank. In August, 1872,
the bank was robbed and these securities
stolen, with $75,000 more. Tbe bank con
tended that tbey had taken the same care of
Boyd & Co's property as of tbeir own, and
therefore could not be required to account
for it. The esse has only now, after a four
years' fight, come to a termination, and tbe
National Banks have been held not liable
to make good such losses, because it was not
Within tbeir chartered functions to act as
safe deposit companies, and because they
were gratuitous bailees. In this case,
though Boyd & Co., owed no balance to the
bank at the moment, we suppose it has been
held that they were bailees for reward, and
it was within the functions of a national
bank to take valuables on deposit as collat
eral security for accommodations granted
within the line of its regular business.

An Englishman In Town.
An English gentleman was in town, yes
terday ; be is traveling for pleasure, and has
been in America but a fortnight. In con
versation with a gentleman, yesterday, he
said he had been out to one of the gold
mine ' in this section, since arriving here
and was surprised. His idea about a gold
mines was a great place under ground, ever
ao far, and with ever so many avenues and
passages, where you could travel a great
length of time ; but here he found a simple,
contemptible .hole, six feet deep in the
ground. The gentleman then asked him if
he had ever heard of salting gold mines?
He said he hadn't, and asked what it was.
He was told that a smart fellow' who was on
the make, would sometimes sow a little piece
of land with gold dust, then, find a person
who wanted to invest in a gold mine, and
sell out to him at a big price." The buyer
would think that he had struck a big bonan
za, and tbe seller would b uild himself a
house with a brown stone front and retire
from business, r-The Englishman; was told
that a great proportion of the gold mines of
this country were of that "kind, and that
whole hosts of people were working bogus
mines and dldh'tinow ii.." f , j , i 4 '
The'Britiflh lubject'said that this Odust be
a devil - of a country , anyhow. The first
thing that he heard after getting over here,
was about a Cabinet orBcef itakingj bribes,
and $be papers .were 'every, day accusing
some high phblio ofBcial of stealing; public
funds. That sort of 4 thingwaS new to him.
The home man then made bold to ask the
foreign gentleman which way he was going
from here?-,He said that hewason his way
to- Florida. - He was told that he would
like Florida; and he wanted to know right
away if th&foika JdoWn' there stole money
just like the did iaVaQ.. the other', parts of
the IJiiited States. Jle was answered in the
affirmative, and told that jme of the leading
citizens of that tate. a prominent railroad
ist, politician and leader at revivals, was a
gentleman who, with some little assistance
had laid felouious hands npon several ,'mil-
Hons of public funds In-"No'rth" Carolina,'
while a 4 highly esteemed citizen of this
Statei and emigrated between suns' with the
officers of the law upon his trackV t -'
The English gentleman . heaved a sigh .
He thanked the Lord that these people had
whipped out from under o'.d King George
III, and that tbe Atlantic separated them
from the possibility of ever corrupting the
morals of the British lion. . fj.
