VOLUME IL ORANGERURG, SOUTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1875. NUMBER 17 TIMELY TOPSCS. ( ? lilliomi's. reniai tis have linn hud siway in the grave, sifter all. unattended by rioting ur disorder nf any h ind. Tin: Spanish government has opened a competition fm- conijHisers ul' a national air. ("an il lu- | M issi ble that all this time Spain has bren without a national air .' Nu wonder it is constantly in a state of distraction. What would ibis country have l'i i'ii without Yanki e Doodle? Tin: newly arrived daughter of the duchess nf Ldiuburgh increases <>iiceii Victoria's tally ul grandchildren tn twenty-seven, twenty-finir ul' whom are still alive, and thal ul' her (ulai living piugcny tn thirty-three, including three unmarried children and tin- Princess Louise, wini is married, hut without family. WM KN yuii grumble at hard limes and crippled industrie-, just cast ymir eyes ?iver the big water and look at I*'rance, with une -hundred and twenty-three thousand industrial establishments, and giving work tn al iou t noe million eight hundred men. At least two-thirds of these ar?' now hising a month's time and wages in order In drill fur a future war. Tin: explosion ami destruction of the ironclad Magenta makes the second vessel ol this kimi lust by the French govern ment within two months. The sinking ol' the Knglish vessel Vanguard, within the same period, by the tap of the spur ol' a neighboring vessel, is beginning to weaken confidence in the durability bf ironclads. IN Michigan's population of 1,300,000 then'arc (K),H27 more males than females. In Massachusetts there arc 00,000 more females than niales. Luder such circiim. .-lances il would seem eminently proper for the Michigan male surplus lo relieve Massachusetts ol' her female sn rpi us. Doubtless the Massachusetts women would be more than willing. Tnt; annual report of the commissioner ol' education contains many interesting ?! . ' " : '.? of fact. "There aro enrolled' in public schools upwards of 8,000,000 pu pils, willi an average daily attendance of 1,000,000. 'fhe estimated population be tween six and sixteen years is H l,?uu,i ll Kl. To support these children in school inst last year $7-1,000,000. Tnt: fate of the passengers ami crew ol' the Uily of Waco ts yet unsolved, 'fhe thenry thal the oil slured on deck ignited fruin thc lightning and set fire to the vessel, wrapping her entirely in the Haine- in a few moments, giving the pas sengers no lime lo escape the awful death, seems the most probable. If so, it is one of thc most terrible catastrophes of Jiu; year. < 'AK.Vi M lias indulged in tin- past in sonic exceedingly lofty boasting as lo the superiority of her buildings over those creeled on Ibis side of the frontier. The bursting of the grain elevator at ll?llc ville, however, is calculated to cheek Mich boasting in thc future. Thc Struc ture was ol' the " cheap and nasty" order of architecture, and ils fall scattered 10, 000 bushels of grain to thc winds and thc pigs. A NO'i'K'K'AHM-: thing abullt the monthly meeting ul' (he Massachusetts Total Abstinence Society, held ?II Huston, was a lit I le speech by William 15. Spooner on fhe prevalence ol' drinking among clergymen, more than one-half ol' whom, he said, drink wine. A laure majority of the I lonni n Catholic clergy drink; a majority of Ibo (Episcopalian and ol' his own denomination-the Unitarian, some ol'the orthodox and Baptist,hulvcry lew ot thc Methodist or Universalist. Tin: British commissioner to our cen tennial has suggested, according to For ney, that thc permanent, buildings of tho exhibition''should bc kepi lilied with in teresting objects, contributed each year, SO that there may be a bi-centennial ready made in l!'7d. This would be a gund (bili!.' for Philadelphia, perhaps, hut theic is no certainly thal the rest of thc country would lind it either pleasant or profitable, fhe coming centennial would be an awful bore if we had debbi rately lieguu preparing for ii a century ugo, A little matter of dispute lias enured thc d'lxroption of li powerful Loni.' bland camp nietliiiL' a---ocial ion The dispute arose fruin thc setting up of ?I hilliard saloon and howling alley on the grounds Inst summer The advocates of these sinful games argued in vain that they would attract to v!?,. grounds jn-t. thc class which needed\iosi tho spirit ol' a canil? meeting. Thcit opjMincnts would nut listen, but seceded ;u,d have formed another association. Tn ERK is considerable discussion and difference of opinion a- to how rapidly fish grow. A K CCIII lotter from Kngland >avs (hal a salmon weighing eighteen pounds was ranchi in (lie Severn, Svear ?ng a silver hillel. This was identified ami proved the tish lo he one which was caught six molli hs he lb re ami rel urned bi the water. At the time it weighed niue |Hiuilds. That is, il hud gained a pound and a hall' for a mouth, or nearly an ounce a dav rieht along. VAI.SIAKKDA has origuinalcd a new met lu ul ul' st pi coxing money mil ol' thc loyal in t 'nba in inner t<i provide nile nf the recently arri veil regiments, with horses. Ile has decreed that a "sacred i ont rilmt imi " ol' Hi per cent, un each individual's taxi s in Havana must forth with be handed in. As all the I no I icy necessary to pay thc hills lor the subju gation ol' the ('lilian insurgents must conic out til'Cuba, Spain ci ?ut ri bu ting lillie ur nothing, through inability lo dti sn, lite arrival of 8,00(1 troops must, strike dismay into thc hearts ol' thc most loyal of AI li ilise's subjects and create much dissatisfaction. Ooo>.\ tlillors widely from tea and eollce, in being a food or (lesli Hunier, while they are rallier condiments and stimulants. One-half the weight of co coa consists ol' lal, and 20 per cent, nf albuminoid material, whereas milk eon tains :i..ri per cent, nf lat, and I j?er cent, ol' albuminoid material; beef contains 2.87 per cent, of fat, and 20.7/i of album ?unid matter; and wheal contains 1.2 per cent nf lal, ami 1-1.0 per cent nf album inoid material. In addition, cocoa eon tains starch,.which is absent in milk and beef, and present in hut a small propr ium in wheal. A Huston merchant, who imports near ly all the gutta percha which enters lin? United Slates, writes tn the Scientific American to say thal "the only region ol' production thus far discovered is thc Kast India islands in thc immediate vi cinity nf Singapore." The principal usc mailc nf guita percha is fur insulating ..j,,. v...'.?U iF nilli tor cementing. India rubber is collected in localities all around the glube between thc tropics. Thc best comes fruin the hanks nf the Amazon river, llrax.il produces annually about 1-1,0110,000 pounds, and thc Central American Stales, Africa, and thc Mast Indies together al mut 15,000,000 putinds. The consumption ol' India ruhherjs about equally divided between thc United States and Ku rope. TIM: report nf the commissioner nf ed ucation furnishes some statistics which area lair test as showing the activity of the various religious denomina lions in thc maller nf theological education. The Catholic church leads with IS seminaries, l i l pr.r.c.-st.i's, !,'_!?'!.'> ?tkidC-liis.

Women arc at a discount w here there i-> nu civilization. Tims it isa notorious fact (hat among thc natives of Africa thc lair sex is mure honored in the respect which is shown tu the cow than in that which the heaven-sent companion of man elicits there. Winnen have unthill1' tu complain nf in this un thc score of sex, but may fairly insist thal the particular member.-ul't heir sex chosen tur special honor should be ol' their own species.' The superior rc-peet accorded In cows, ton, is entirely al variance with thc spirit ol' modern intelligence; ami until Ihe men ul Africa reverse thc present dis tinction against (lie wives of their bosoms in fstvor of ibu-e who buhl a li .-- intimate relation with them, there can be no fa vorable result of uiis-innary enterprise.
