Ja ono elote system of Benevolence: Happier ts kinder, in whate'r degree, ; And height of bil? but height of Charity. - Pope. fUSlCAL<k"BliVH*APPBOPRI.lTION The Charleston News has epitomized the celebrated "sell"-Appropriation I Bill, of ibo Last Legislature, which we /propose to keep standing in our columus . lor 4 time, iu order that our readers, .' Bod the eountry generally, may famil? iarise' themselves with it, and explain it to the colored people. From this epitome we take, (ur the present, the ? following items : The "Code of Procedure/' or copy of | the Now York Codo, cost thc State ?. $10,500. ' TheStato constabulary cost $30,000 and $1500 salary for Chief Constable ? Hubbard. * Why is it necessary to give $9300 as contingent fund to the different depart? ment officers of the State ? The expenses of the general elections of 1870 are set down at $1 ??00. Four years ago 91000 was cnongh. The whole expenses of tho State Gov? ernment this year (exclusivo of inter? est,) aro Jour times as much as they . were three years ago l'* The total appropriations for oarrying ^ on the State Government were $420,600 - io 1866, aod are $1,070,000 for 1869 in duding interest. The legislative expenses in|1867 were set down at $43,00). The session just closed cost, according to senator Leslie, about $200,000. Is there not a press? ing need of reform ? Tho Citizen's Party vote Aye 1 ; The "extraordinary expenses" of the ' Slate Government this year are set down at $140,000. This is just ouo hundred sod forty thousand arguments on the ' aide of retrenchment. This alone will draw thousands of voters to the Citi? zen's Party. In 1867 thc salaries of the State offi? cers and judges amounted to $1)0,800. Thia year they amount to 8167,800. Under this'head the cost of the State Government is more than trebled in three years. Tax payers, mark this ! Governor Scott's militia is to cost fifty thousand dollars this year. Win? chester rifle law is a leetle dear. Why ia thia thus? Does "his Excellency'' expect to fork his candidates into office - with Winchester rifles and bayonets? The Adjutant General of the Stale has a salary ofj82i)00 and a contingent account of $2500, and tho spending of $50,000 for militia purposes. Hcsidcs this, he draws his pay as speaker of the House, and has a gratuity, or extra compensation, at thc end of each session. MOUNT A ll A RAT* Mr. Freshfield, in a recent work which haajnet with great favor at the hands of English critics, has the following graphic description of Mount Ararat: "Ararat is a huge, gracefully sloped mass, rising to a height of 10,1) 1G foct, from a base of about 3000 feet. It stands perfectly isolated (rom all the othcr ranges, with the still moro perfect cone of little Ararat (12,840 feet) at its side Seen thus carly iu the season, with at least 9000 feet of snow ou its slopes, from the distance and height well calen- ' luted to permit tho eye to take ia its true proportion.?, wo agreed that uo aingle mountain we knew presented sud) a magnificent and impressive appearance aa the Armenian giant. I can only eompareit to ?ho popular idea of Alla? -a huge hoad and shoulders supporting the sky. One is ready immediately to admit that the Ark must have grounded there, if it grounded anywhere in these parts." ?QT According to Pliny, fire was a long time unknown to some of the and oient Egyptians; and when a celebrate astronomer showed it to them, they were absolutely in ruptures. Tho Per? sians, Pcenioians, Greeks, and several other notions, acknowledged that their ?ancestors were once without tho uso of fire, and tho Ckincso confess tho same oftheir progenitors. Pompanion, Mola, ' Plutarch, and other ancient writers, jbeak of nations who, at the timo whee wey wrote, knew not tho uso of fire, or had just learned it. Facts of. thc same . kind aro also attested by several modern ira fit >?? i Thc inhabitants of tito Marian I Islands, which wero discovered in 1551, ?vhad no idea of fire. Never watt-astonish rae et greater than theirs when they saw j it on the desert in one of their islands. At first they belicvod it was some kind o4 animal that fixed to and fod upon ?rood. The inhabitants ol' the Philip . ftUiii and Canary islands wero formerly equably ignorant. Africa presents, oven . Ut Wir day, tribes in this ututo.

Why not? - A precocious student of astronomy, under t. 'animation, gave the following astonishing answer to tho question, ..What is thc milky way?"' "The milky way is a collection of white clouds in thu sky culled tho trade winds, or thc aurora borealis." '* - What have you doue with your doll, Amy ?"
