P. Richaedsox, Governor. THE ATTOBXEY-GEXERAL'S REPLY. CoT.orr.ia, S. C., January 10,1SSS. a Hon. John Peter llichardscre," Qmcri,or, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: 1 have tlie noncr to acKnowiedge the receipt of your communication of this (late. You submit for my consideration and opinion the following question: "Do the persons who have been elected by the General Assembly under and by virtue of 'An Act to amend an Act entitled an Act to create a Department of Agriculture' &c., approved 22nd December, 1SS7, now c institute the Board of Agriculture?" In re ply, l have to say, that on the same day tiiat said Act was passed, the General As seinbly elected ten members of said Board as directed by said Act. The persons so elected constitute the Board of Agriculture, unless it should appear that at the time of the election the General Assembly was not - authorized to hold the same. The only doubt as to the validity of the election that could be suggested is, that no day is specially named in the body of the Act as the day upon which it shall take effect, and hence, if it be subject to the provisions of the Act of 1879 (General Statutes, Section ?><>\ rt./vn'M h/> cncnprirlpr! until OOJ9 iio IT V/W1U ? ?._ ihe expiration of twenty days after its passage. In reply to such suggestion, I -would submit the following propositions, viz: 1. Under the Constitution of this State, eveiy "Act of the General Assembly takes effect immediately upon its passage. 2. No Legislature is authorized or empower^ to provide any rule or regulation for the guidance or government oi subsequent Legislatures. If we have reference only to the Constitution, then the Act in question took effect on the 23d December. 1SS7, the date of its approval by the Governor. If it did not then take effect, it must be in consequence of t>?; regulation prescribed by the Act of IS79. But if one Legislature has no power to impose any restrictions upon any other Legislature, then the Act of December 22, 1SS7, would in ;.o way be affected, in reference to the time when it shall take effect, by the previsions of the Act of 1S79, unless it be presumed that the former borfy intended to conform to the rule or regula lion prescribed by the latter. This presumption could only arise from the fact that the Act of 1S79 was upon the statutebooks, and if subsequent Legislatures did not intend to be bound therebj- it would have lieen repealed. But, on the other hand, it is also to be presumed that the Legislature intended the Act to take effect according to the provisions of the Constitution, unless the Act contains words showing a contrary intention. This latter presumption, it seems to me, is stronger than tbe former. However, if it be otherwise, still any presumption that the Legislature intended to adopt as a part of this Act the provisions of the Act of 1879, or that the same should not take effect until twenty days after its passage, is rebutted by the fart that on the very day of its passage, to wit, on December 22, 1887, the General Assembly held an election as prescribed by the Act in question, and elected the mem'-f T!n<irri us thprpin nrovided? thereby clearly indicating that, as to this Act at least, it was not bound by the rule or regulation prescribed by the Legislature of 1879. My opinion, therefore, is that the Act in question took effect immediately- upon its approval by the Governor, and that the persons elected by the General Assembly as aforesaid constitute the Board of Agriculture. Respectfully submitted. Jos. H. Earle, Attorney General S. C. The First Shot at Sumtej. The New York Tribnne published the following paragraph on Saturday last: *'G. S. C'oit, of Bridgeport, Conn., corrects the statement, telegraphed last week from ? Charleston, S. C., that Justice Haynsworth, of that city, who was shot on the Beach during a 'difficulty' in Court between two quarrelsome prisoners brought before him. ?as 'Lie man that fired the first gun on ort Sumter in 1S61.' Mr. Coit says he was in Charleston when the bombardment of Sumter began, and that it was generally understood there that the first shot was fired by Ex-Governor Ruftin, of South Carolina. He described Ruffin as being then a very picturesque specimen of the old-time fire-eater, with liis venerable figure . and long, gray hair, and says that in his zeal "* for the Confederate cause the ex-Governor had begged the privilege of firing the shot which he hoped might pass into history with ihat other shot that was 'heard round the world,' and Gen. Beauregard gratified him." They are both wrong. The first shot, fired at Sumter was fired by Capt. George S. James. The story that Mr. Hayns^vorth fired the first shot at Fort Sumter has ali eady been corrected. As stated it was the steamship "Star of the West" on which lie fired when it was attempting to reach Fort Sumter. There was no such person as Ex-Governor Ruffin, of South Carolina. The gentleman alluded to was Judge Ruffin. of Virginia, who came to Charleston at the first rumor of war and enlisted as a private in the Carolina Light Infantry.? J\rews and Courier. A Romance in Real Life. New York, January 7.?On September 5, Julius Feuret escaped from Sing Sing, where be bad served four months of a five year's term for forgery.

" Judge Mackcy an Lothario. Ex-Judge Thomas J. Mackey, of whom South Carolinians have very lively recollections, has been figuring in a new role. Some weeks ago he went to Bismarck, Dakota, in company with a handsome woman s:yling herself "Mrs. Witherbee," and put up at the biggest hotel in "the city. The two afterwards hired a fine house, and soon became the social "guns" of the place. They "gave gorgeous entertainments, and were sought after in all directions. Their prestige was at its height. Suddenly there came a fall. A servant girl, -who quit because she had not got her wages, shocked twyjYIp hv rfoolnrincr that, t.Vtp twain wprf* liviDg as man and wife. Admirers refused to believi?, doubters withheld their attentions, bat sensible people soon believed the story. Judge Mackey and his alleged niece, traveling to restore her broken, health, soon fell into disgrace. The truth, summed up, seems to be about as follows: Nettie Dunlap, a poor girl of New York, showed magnificent vocal powers. She was educated in music, and soon created a furore. Soon her name was connected in a scandalous way with that of a Western millionaire, but it was claimed that the old gentleman was but her benefactor and foster-father. In February, 1SS6, she was married, in grand style, to" A. Scott Wilherbee, of Washington? the millionaire attending the wedding and making handsome presents. Things went smoothly for some months, but soon Nettie went West?and went astray. The next thing in order is the suit for divorce, which Witherbee has already commenced. Judge Mackey claims to have his present residence in Dakota. * Feueral Aid to Education. 3Ir.

Judging from observation and the extressed opinions of the leading business , aen of the South, tve think it perfectly afe to predict a greater activity in general ?: >usiress for the coming year than, we have t! iad for the year that is just closed. There ir s not a single enterprise that has been in- ft lugurated during the present year taat is u ihowing any signs of weakening: on the tc contrary, they are giving signs of still fc greater efforts on the part of owners to d push them to early completion and get c: ready for active business. The tightness q >f the money market that has prevailed a ;hrough the South for the past few months f. kas had the effect of causing many to look g forward to the future ami to be more Y guarded in their financial operations. It is a fact that many large manufacturing con- ? cers have found it difficult to call a halt at the closing of the year sufficient to get their s books and stocks in shape to see how things' c stand in corsequence of such large volumes a of orders that have been coming in, thus * as it were running one year into the-other, fc Hundreds of half finished jobs and the r taking of new contracts are not very con- c venient items for the bookkeeper to handle, s There is going to he a much greater ami unt z of building done this year than in the past, t Dwelling houses in particular will form a r very large item, warehouses and stores will t also be built in great numbers to say noth- , ing of the buildings for the manufacturing plants thai will be erected.

Wholesome Treatment. * During the exercises of a prayer-meeting among the prisoners in the jail Sunday, Joe Smith, a negro charged -with murder, amused himself and disturbed the other prisoners by singing and dancing to a lively tune and by striking and kicking his fellow prisoners while engaged in prayer, and again so disturbed those collected at the front windows that the sermon preached in the Church just in front of the jail could not be heard.

But we do not have, is > go far to fiud the reason, and it is p >und in the widespread and outrageous p. ?*?hit-no Thint of tllA UaU uuuvu vt vui *... ? ?_ ^ tiormous number of small birdsce- v; uired to dcck ladies1 hats nowadays; nd of the ruined crops of hunureds'of tv irmers and fruit growers in the United r< tates, and ask if the latter is not the 1' esult of the former. Of course it is; no q ne will or can dispute it- What is to c e doner Something; and no time o hould be lost in doing it. The Ameri- si an Humane Society Is, I think, doing p , good work in this direction, and t< could in time blot out the bird-killing ii tusiness, especially as an adjunct to the lj aillinery trade of the country; but it e :annot work a reform soon enough to 1 atisfy the pressing necessities of" the c igrieultura! interests. We must appeal n o law to stop this indirect hatching and v aising of myriads of insects to destroy a he crops of the farmer, fruit grower c md market gardener. fc 1 do not think a law against catching s -!_J ^~ nmnVi fr\r it tvnillfl f jirus wuuiu uu A lot be enforced; but I think a law prohibiting milliners, both wholesale and f retail, from handling these ghostly orna- t nents would have the desired effect, and \ with such a law we might, in time, have ? >ur birds as plentiful and useful as they f were a few years ago, before this bloody ? war on them began. . i But small birds are not the only in- < sect eaters that are being exterminated l for frivolous purposes. The prairie ? chickens are falling by the thousand by j the ruthless hand of the market shooter 5 ?that vile blot upon the human race; ( cruel as a fiend; grasping as a miser; ; lazy as a sloth; brainless as an idiot,and 3 for harmfulness ranking next to the , devil himself. Why allow' this low-lived ^ specimen of humanity to ply his dastardly and destructive work 'under the ; very nose of the farmer he :s injuring? 1 Why not send him to the poorhouse, asylum or penitentiary, where he could be" kept with much less expense to the farmers, who are now supporting him? lipvp. is a noint that nuzzles me. Is it the shot, the blood, the broken bones, or the feathers, that makes prairie chicken meat such a delicacy? If tame fowl were brought on the table in the condition in which the prairie chicken is usually served, it would be considered entirely unfit to eat; so I don't think the epicurean public would lose much if prairie chicken shooting should be prohibited by law the year round, for at least five years, and longer if the birds were not plentiful enough at the end of that time. I think there would be little or no objection to such a law. Every sportsman in the United States would like it, and of course every farmer would commcud it; even the market shooter would endorse it if he had brains enough to comprehend its advantages, for now he can hardly earn fifty cents a day, owing to the scarcity of game, while five years of this law 1 J ' T " T T ? ft flio would DC 11Jxuiy tu icavc a v* birds on overv ten-acre lot. Don't say they would injure the crops then; surely no candid person can think that From April 1st to July 15th there is no grain for them to get, so during that time they are waging a war of extermination upon a great many kinds of harmful insects, and wheu the grain does comethey still prefer insects for the most of their food, and only pick a little grain to season the insects that, but for them, would do more damage on an acre than the birds would do on ten. Then the grain is harvested inside of two weeks after it becomes eatable for them," when they haye to fall back on insects again. Now here is a chance for some law maker to cover himself all over with glory. Who will come to the front and save the farmer's crops from the ravages of insects, and the birds from the merciless hunter??./. K. McBroom, in Farm, Stock and Home. The Love and Respect of Children. If mothers could only realize-what a critical period their children are passing through from the third to the sixth year, they would exercise more than ordinary care during that time. Not only physically but mentally and morally are they undergoing a change; a change for better or worse, according to the care and attention they receive from their mothers and fathers. A father is no more exempt from certain duties towards his offspring than the mother, lie should always bear in mind that his assistance in the control of the children is of more value to his tired wife than the presentation to her of a costly gift It is at this time that children begin to notice papa's andmamma's bearing towards one another; let this always be one of perfect courtesy and respect. Nothing so quickly destroys respect for parents as constant hj/?fcf>rin? in the nrescnce of their chil dren. r.the first thing a child should be taught-is respcct for his parents and elders; affection comes naturally with most children and is the most valuable aid in gaining control of their actions; next to that is respect, without it very little can 'be accomplished for the child's welfare. Parents should bear this in mind tbat children lose respect very soon upon hearing them disagree; using bitter, cutting words to each other. This is inflicting the first actual pain these baby hearts have been called upon to bear. In the presence of this the child experiences conflicting emotions, which ends in pity for one parent and contempt for the other. O parent, ;pause, consider before you lose this hold on " the little being who has heretofore considered you perfect. Let there be unanimity of purpose in act, word and deed before these little creatures, who are so susceptible to every new impression, if yon would preserve their love and respect? Mrs. Ellis L.

L To give beef tea alone to a sick per>n is to give him a stone tvhen he asks >r bread. It is not a food, it is a stiruu- f< Lilt! This is the startling' information t< lat we read in Dr. Fother^iirs Manual (' I Dietetics, published by William Wood tl ; Co. When flesh is boiied its albumen P coagulated, aud beef tea as ordinarily a rep area contains no albumen. It is a ractically destitute of matter that can s reriorm tissue, and is equally without li alue as fuel food. j1 Says Sir William Roberts: "There is u 'idespread public misapprehension in s jgard to the nutritive value of beef. tea. a 'he notion prevrfts that the nourishing d ualities of the meat pass into the dc- t oction and that the dry, liard remnant s f the meat fiber which" remains undis- t Dived is exhausted of its nutriment y roperties. In making common beef 1 23. the ingredients which pass into so- s ltion are the rapid extractives and as- t hes of the meat, and nothing more, r xcept some trifling amount of gelatine. < ."he meat remnants, on the other hand, < ontain the actual nutriment of the f aeat; and if this be beaten to a paste 1 rith a spoon, or pounded in a mortar, ' HtiItt flivrvtwl with salt and other 1 ondiments, it constitutes not only a 1 lighly nourishing and agreeable, "but ? ilso an exceedingly digestible, form of t ood." Dr. King Chambers gives directions or preparing nutritious beef tea: Make 1 he cook understand that the virtue of 1 )eef tea is to contain ail the contents < md flavors of lean beef in a liquid orm; and that its vices are to be sticky ' md strong and to set like a hard jelly 1 vhen cold. Let her take half a pound )f freshly killed beef for every pint of : aeef tea required, and remove all fat, sinew, veins and bone. Let it be cut nto pieces under half an inch square, md soak for-twelve hours in one-third 3f the water. Let it then be taken out md simmered for two hours in the remaining two thirds of the water, the quantity lost by evaporation . being replaced from time to time. The boiling Liquor is then to be poured on the cold liquor in which the meat was soaked. Ilie solid meat is to be dried, pounded in a mortar, freed from all* stringy parts and mixed with the rest This has been termed "whole" beef tea. I can see sundry readers, says Dr. Fothero-ill. having been driven past the stage of incredulity by the liard logic of I facts, wringing their hands in anguish I over the thought of departed relatives who have been practically starved to death on beef tea. The mistaken views about the nutritive value of beef tea have been murderous. As a food, it is but the mirage of water seen by the thirsty traveler in the desert; there is no real water. So with beef tea, as commonly prepared, it is not a food, but a stimulant "Whole" beef tea is no doubt a good food; very good in convalescence from acute diseases, when wasted muscular tissue has to be repaired. But in many cases it is open to question whether so much albuminous matter is cither good or desirable. When this is not used, there should be .added a teaspoonful of any baked flour to a teaspoonful of ordinary beef tea, and some salt Wellbaked flour is largely changed into soluble dextrine; ana beef tea, containing some such addition, is a capital fnnd. If the baked flour be made from unbolted flour, tben some albuminoid matter is present as well as the salts of the grain. Such will make an ideal fluid food.?Good Housekeeping. The Latest Fad in Osculation. The little god of love will possibly faugh in his sleeve, if ever be wears one, to learn there is a new kiss. It is a ticklish subject to deal with, for everybody supposes he or she understands the art of this expression of affection, and will feel aggrieved to be told there's something new about so old a chestnut Nevertheless, society has been stirred by the intelligence that it is now the proper caper to imprint a salute on the.tipofthe nose when friends desire to be particularly demonstrative. The courtly kiss upon the hand, the warmer osculation of the lips,, have been thrown into social darkness by no less an arbiter than the Princess of Wales! It appears that this lovely specimen of royalty was observed kissing her sisterin-law, the Princess Waldemar, in this particular fashion, whether by accident or intention the observer fails to state, and immediately the idea caught on to the flattsring crowd of courtiers. When two ladies meet or part now it won't be "My dear! (kiss on the right cheek) how dad I am to see you" (kiss for the left cheek)?but the gushing pair will just light on the tips of each other's noses, like two birds pecking at a lump of sugar. This fashionable kiss has its advantage, as will be seen at once. There can be no disturbance of "makeup." No one understands that better than the lovely Princess. The French kiss on the forehead, emblematic of chastity and deep devotion, is routed? foot, horse, and dragoons?by this new kiss, which oUght to be immensely popular, considering it is the latest London fad.?Boston llerald. Zee or Zed. I am a Welch man by birth and education, and when I landed in America I thought of making my fortune in the South. 1 didn't succeed. That, , however, do2sn't matter. But I remember an incident at which I didn't laugh at the time, but which I can laugh at now as often as you like. While 1 was waiting for s omething to turn up, the local school-master got a bullet sent into' him. ]Sb one regarded the incident as extraorii inary, but pending the arrival of a new man some one was wanted to "teach school," and with my proverbial 200U nature I agreed to step in and fill the bench. I got on very well until in one of the reading boobs we came across the word "Hezekiah," which seemed an impassable barrier. I told the first boy to spell i t, when to my surprise he called the third letter "zee." In England and Wa.es, and indeed everywhere I had bee:i, the last letter of the alphabet was calljd "zed," and I attributed the new nomenclature to Southern ignorunce. All down the class went thai fatal letler, and as I passed each boy 1 began to grow dimly conscious of the tact- that I was being regarded as a lunatie-During the recess I expressed surprise, at the boarding-house where I was staying, at the ignorance of boys of 12 md 13 who didn't know their alphabet I'he laughter which greeted the recital rather discomfited me, and when I was anally enlightened I felt smaller than ;ver, "either before or since. The.school- ' louse had to remain closed till the new ichool-master arrived, for a regiment of ioldiers could not have induced me to inter it again.

Public otunion at Salem was " Drilled by a crowd of ruffianly young jilows who were called the "Clary's trove Boys." Ones or twice a week liey descended upon the village and asscd the day in drinking, lighting, i nd brutal horse-play. If a .stranger ppeared in the place, he was likely to uffer a rude initiation into the social n; ife of New Saiem at the hands of these Dvial savages. Sometimes he was nailed a p in a hogshead and rolled down hill, ometimes he was insulted into a fight .nd then mauled black and blue; for iespite their pretensions to chivalry they iad no scruples about fair play or any uch superstitions of civilization. 'At . irst they did not seem inclined to molest oung Lincoln. His appearance did not uvite insolence: his reputation for rtrength ami activity was a greater pro- 1 ection to him than his inoffensive good lature. But the loud admiration ol ti 3fFutt gave them umbrage. It led to & lispute^ contradictions, and finally to a ormal banter to a wrestling-match, v jiiicoln was greatly averse to all this d 'wooling and pulling," as he called :L 3ut OiTutt's indiscretion hail made it i icccssary for hnn to show his mettle. c Jack Armstrong, the leading bully of c ;he gang, was selected to throw him, md expected an easy victory. But he i ;oon found himself in different hands :rom any he had heretofore engaged ivith. Seeing he could not manage the ? :all stranger, his friends swarmed in, md by kicking and tripping nearly ? succeeded in getting Lincoln down. At f this; -o i. is been said of another hero, 1 "the _p."xit of Odin entered into him," :md" putting forth his whole strength, he held the pride of Clary's Grove in his arniw like a child, arid almost choked the exuberant life out of him. For a moment a general-fight seemed inevita- 1 ble; but Lincoln, standing undismayed ' with his back to the wall, looked so formidable in bis defiance that an iioneat admiration took the place of momentary fury and his initiation was over.. As to Armstrong, he was Lin- i coin's friend and sworu brother as soon as he recovered the use of his larynx, and the bond thus strangely created lasted through life. Lincoln had no further occasion to fight his own battles while Armstrong was there to act as his champion. The two friends, although so widely different, were helpful to each other afterwards in many ways, and Lineoln made ample amends for the liberty his hands had taken with Jack's throat, by saving, in a memorable trial, his son's neck from the halter. This incident, trivial and vulgar as it may seem, was of great importance in Lincoln's life. His behavior in i.L:s ignoble scuffle did the work of years for him, in giving him.the position he re quirea in tne comiuuuuy wuuo mo i-jt, was c:ist. He became irom that moment, in a certain sense, a personage, with a name and standing of his own. The verdict of Clary's Grove was unanimous that he was "the clevcrest fellow that had ever broke into the settlement." He did not have to be constantly scuffling to guard his self-respect, and at the .same time lie gained the good-will of the better sort by his evident peaceableness and integrity.? Nicolay and Ha>/$ Lincoln; Century. m -G~'<g ?' 1 i The Greatness of Garrett. The part that Robert Garrett bears towards the social life of Baltimore is large. He is rich, sociable and generous. He is a constant contributor to private and public charities, and no worthy relief fund escapes without a large donation from.him. Many Philadelphians know what his hospitality is. (.in unusual occasions aa umueis uc rery splendid affairs, but it is when he entertains a ha!i dozen friends, or more, at his coun :ry house that he plav? the host in his most genial and captivating way. No man is better known in Baltimore. It is -a curiosity to see him walk up Charles street. He wears a beaming smile and he seems to speak to every other person he meets. -The other day when, he arrived from Europe he started from the Stock Exchange to his office, two nquares distant. It took him over two hours to reach his office, 4 and when he did get there he had shaken two hundred or three hundred hands and had talked to several hundred persons without giving them the slightest reason why Baltimore and Ohio stock had jumped up a dozen points the first day ho arrived in Baltimore. As to Mr. Garrett's much-discussed clothes, it is sufficient, to say that he i? an eminently weli-dresscd man. H<? is given to the acquirement of the finest things that money can buy. He has a new ?500,000 house. He has splendid horses and he has handsome and stylish clothes and plenty of them, but to call him a foo is to do him a great injustice. It may be added that he occasionally attempts speech-making, but the friends who know him bes? and who have heard his speeches give him no encouragement ir. this direction, for he is a modest man, and modest men are not always good orators.?Fhiladelphia Press. Tasce at Home. Art is not confined to big and expensive paintings, marbles and ornamental bric-a-brac or to old silver plate. One with a very limited salary may enjoy J the pleasure?within his means?of hav ing as artistic a home as the recipient of an income of thousands. Some bunches of flowers here and there, a few pretty pictures, a? few good books and the essentials in" the way of ornament are named at once. For one poor shilling a week a wife can buy blossoms enough to make her home look bright and blooming from January to Doc-ember. Even with a very small salary this is a sum which may indeed be well spent upon the daily beautiiication oi the house. Pictures, too, arc almost as cheap as wall paper. Even those given away by some business houses as advertisements arc sometimes pleasing enough to be an addition to any room. A common carrot will throw out broad, green, feathery fronds if supplied with a little water daily in a small hole in the top; will thrive and make a thing Ci real beauty, to say nothing of the delight to be found in watching the tiny leaflets grow. A sponge filled full of flax seed, kept wet and hung in the window, will soon make a beautiful ball of the daintiest, freshest green. A few sprays of a plant called "Wandering Jew," which any florist will gladly give away (or sell a great news- i paperi'ul for 10 ccnts), will grow in a glass of water all winter long. A bit of ' charcoal in the water will keep it sweet ; and fresh. 1 The bulb of a hyacinth will cost one ! shilling, the peculiar glass vase used to < grow "them will cost another, but both 1 the bulb and the glass will last winter after winter, keeping a yearly blossom bidden away to gladden your eyes when tired of the dreary grnyness of the cold weather.
