A DAY OF RECONNOITERING.

Charleston, 8. 0., May 12
Charleston is beat seen in a bird'a
eye -view from the dome of St:
Michael's church, wbjoh coafs yon
10 cents and a climb aa wearying
and tedious as mounting fame's lad
der is for the average man. It ia
compactly built with very, very par
row streets. Much of it ia covered
by good, fine .buildings and we have
at least not found the equallor and
Blnma that we expected and that we
suppose do exist.
The United States custom house,
rating $3,000,000, we believe, ia a
mflryel of beauty, durability and
general grandeur.
The post office contains about as
moch beauty and m3gnifioence as
the mind can well conceive of. .
Tha Catholic Cathedral waa start
ed to outstrip, all the places of wor
ship in the city, costing we learn,
more than $100,000 and is standing
iu wasting appearance for as much
more to finish with.
The Washington Light Infantry
has perpetuated its memory with a
beautiful monument and park. The
inscriptions are elaborate o weary.
The South Carolina Military In
stitute has a beautiful park of good
s'zsfor the heart of a great city.
We had the pleasure of seeing the
boys playing war Thursday evening
aa they advanced and fired by battals
lion, by volley and by battle order.
It had more of the true ring in it
than the chimes of St. Michael's
church tower . That we found by
the ear to be badly out of chord and
much wanting in time, best under
stood when ;we saw that instead of
clockwork that we thought struck
the time it was simply a very ordinary-looking
negro that was pulling
leavers to make the strokes. It is
needless to say that this writer lis
much disappointed with St. Mi
chael's chime . -
Mt. Pleasant is a fairly nice little
town and desirable as a quiet refuge
from city bustle. The Lutheran
Theological Seminary is neat ana
apparently well built as well aa well
situated.
Sullivan's Island is considerably
built up along the front, Fort
Moultrie looks weird , and suggestive
of former military crudeness .. The
magazines are most interesting to
the writer and were explored as far
as the watery, floors allowed with
out actually wadipg through dark
and gloomy recesses that had to be
traced as the blind do without guide.
The new part of the fort, where
those mighty disappearing guns
rear being great concrete masses,
cannot be approached by outsiders.
This one battery seems to be suf
ficient to protect Charleston.
Not a garden vegetable seems to
be produced on Sullivan's Island.
The salt water cedar is pretty and
forms one of its best ornamental
trees, live oak excels for dense
hade. It is beautiful for its evens
ness and dense foliage, making a
pleasing impression from a distance.
The Isle of Palms : is taken by
all tourists. There's the ocean in
all itj grandeur, the sand hills al-'
most mountain-high; the palm in its
high beau ty only as r y oa f attach
sentimentalism, with it. , Butthe
Ferris wheel is there as is the whirl
mg trapeze and imitation rac? track
for he dummy steeds. The im
mense pavatlion is there where, on a
faultless floor, hundreds of the gay
may jkipj and tip the light, fantastic
toe to the enchanting music. It: is
the veritkbie counterpart of the city
of d( light in the story of Ben Bur.

heavily laden with electricity. The
Play of the lightning and the loud

burning of Mr. Will Gillon's barn
at Glass, where Dr. Laflrty former

' About 1 o'clock in the night the
lightning struck the baTn. Despite
the fast pouring rain, the flame be

totally consumed. Mr. Gillon sue-
ceeded in getting his horses out,

tne Cabarrus insurance association
and the barn was insured for one
hundred dollars. No other damage
1 ja that part of the community was
reported.

the condition of
the elements Friday night, briefly
stated. A dark and threatening
looking cloud formed about 10
o'clock,, and at 11 o'clock it was
getting in its work at a "double
forty" rate.'
Lightning struck several places
about in town, but no serious dam
age was done. A post j was struck
near Rev. Smith's and a part of the
fence laid down. A large tree was
blown down in front of Mr. Joel
Reed's home on North Main street,
A good amount of hail fell at
the beginning of the rain. ; The
stones were hardly as large as pari

swollen considerably from the
heavy rain, which was a "gulley
