ItcniArknbie Phenomena.
A spcciul report from Mount
Pleasant, opposite Charleston, sav
that ii sink near theGcrmaii launch
which, on iuesd.iy, was eife:tl.v
lry km ml, is now lull or tiesh water,
A ear Shelf street I here is a cabi
occniiel tiy u colored man that is
completely surrounded by yauniu
cuasroa, extending through lh
earth's surface for ten feet and ovei
All around this there are sinks of
fresh water and masses of mn
with queer looking soft substance
I
iii.ik nave never seen Delorc. It is
contended by many that i he inn.
and other substances found nrouii
the village are volcanic matter.
Just after the first great shock on
luesday night there was a decided
and distinct smell of escaping sal
phnriencid gas over the entire vd
lage. The smell lasted throughout
lUo night and was distinct m those
localities where the cavities in the
earth were most numerous. Some
say that portions of the mud throw u
up by the waterspouts are strongly
impregnated with sulphur, and that
small portions of sulphur can be
found in the mud. Not far (roui
Charleston on the road to Su 'inner-
rillo extensive mounds of clay
were thrown up, as also hillocks of
sand, in most cases iu the shape of
inverted cones, the hollow pails
wtiicu Had evidently heen formed
by the action of the water returning
into Iho depths from which it had
been raised. In many cases the
erupted matter had stieamed away
from the breaks in the surface ol
who earth to a distance of from
twenty to fifty feet. In other places
there were lissures almost invaria
bly extending from north to south.
These cracks were not wide, and
extendeJ downwards always, in a
Blunting direction. The matter that
was thrown up was of a dull, dark
slaty color, jtid was mixed with
gravel. There was also a little
shale, and fu general the eiud re
sembled that which is thrown from
the bottom of the phosphate pits
along the river. The water iu some
places had the taste of our artesian
water, but in many instances it was
just as clear and limpid as from a
mountain spring.
CTJUIOUS JETS OF WATER.
These evidences of the great con
vulsiou are not sporadic ; they ex
teud tar and near iu every direc
tion from the city limits of Charles
ton to Summerville, and at the lat
ter place it was found, from trust
worthy information, that the cracks
and rissures were everywhere visi
ble for miles ami miles around.
Strangely enough, some of these
were iu active operation, and the
constant shocks that were felt at
Sumiuerville sent the water out of
these Assures to the height ol from
fifteen to twenty feet. This was
evidently the lesultof the cracks
beiug filled with water and then the
sides opening and closing by each
succeeding shock. These appear
ances were, of course, suggest ive of
still more violent eiiiptinns, 'and
there was a constant diead every
where that there would be a general
inundation caused by some extraor
dinary force of the earthquake.
Not only was the water emitted iu
the low places where it might be
expected to exist all the time, but
on the tops of the highest elevations
the mud could be seen. This latter
fact indicated that the force was
being exerted at rather more than
the depth that was at first thought
to be its limit. Near leu .Mile iiill
a fatal accident occurred on Tues
day night. The down Columbia
train jumped the track. The en
ginecr. Burns, and the fireman,
Arnold, colored, were badly injured
by the tremendous leap which the
train took in (he dark under the
unseen influence of the shock that
dismantled the road. It is said the
earth suddenly gave way, and that
the engine first plunged down the
temporary declivity. It was then
raised on the top of the succeeding
terrestrial undulation, and having
reached the top of the wave a sud
den swerving of the force to the
right and left, hurled the ill fated
traiu down the embankment.

Slang. A certain chins of our
greatest iuveutors tteeuis ilestined
to live iu complete obxcuiity. I
refer to tbat estimable body of tueu
who originate our tlati. Who was
it, for instance, wbo Bist said "You
bet," or "(iive us a rest," or "How
is that tor bigi," or "Oh, come oil t"
It is rather strange that these
phrases should go like an epidemic
over the country and jrt no one
should know who first contracted
the disease. Some sialic words will
undoubtedly stick and become arl
ot the language; for instance, take
that detestable word "dude," start
ed by some newspaper man. It
seems to be a fixture and has quite
BuiHirseded the other slang word,
"aiasher," that previously stood for
the same thing. One-ol the latest
slang terms is the word "Chestnut.''
The dictionary tells us tbat chest
nut comes troui Kastaua, a city of
rontuH, and its meaning la given as
tbe root of a tree ot the genus
casta net) ; second meaning, the tree
itself, or its timber ; third meaning,
a reddish brown color. Though
this, tntore dictionaries will proba
bly add as a fourth meaning, "Au
old joke." Detroit Free Pre.

Gentlemen, I trust that j on wilt
excuse these desultory and scatter

With no idea of delivering any
such melancholy remarks as these,
1 had prepared n very eloquent,
speech, one with which I had ex
pected to thrill and sway this vast

delivery. Long laugbtir and

Brussels. Tbe birds were brought
over ou Saiarday night iu baskets,
which formed a part ot tbe deck
cargo of the Osteud mail packet.
Tbe pigeons belong,, to diflereat
Belgian societies, and -were flown iu
connection witb the society !ni im
1'eur, ot Lftken, uenr Brass"-
The Mart was a very interesfi:,' ,
sight. Tbe channel being fainv
clear,- the baskets were placed iu
tiers on the quay, the flaps ou a
given signal were letdown, hiui
simultaneously tbe birds rose like a.
croud, and, after circling iu tbe air
lor a moment, beaded sontawaru
aud made oS in tbe direction of
Calais, all beiug well away within
the Bpace of two minutes. A simi
lar race is lieing arranged from Lou
don to Brussels. Some five uuu
dred birds, trained to act as mes
sengers in case of wht, aud bclong-
tog to diSereut societies in aim
