Brief Mentiods. On the ice.bridge midway between the two shores at the Niagara Falls a temporary hotel is in full operation, and obtaining a luerative patronage. n ! t Alcohol was first invented and used 1, to stain the cheeks of the ladies -of 1 Arabia, 950 years ago. It still red- 1 dens.ortions of the human face. The plantation of Mrs. Mayburn. Fort Bend couty. Texas, has this year produced $3,000 worth of syrup i froinland which, if planted in cotton, would have yielded enly about S400. A red hot netour fell near Wcst I Lty, in the Eastern part of Iowa, e on the 12th ult., sitlking fifteen feet r into the ground and making a hole ten C feef'in diameter. For hours it contin-: uad -to spit forth flames, crackle, sput ter aa smoke, and occasionally dis- E charge.eannon-like reports, to the in- I finite terror of the people in the vi- t eiaity. None dared approach while this miniature volcano continued in ae- t tion'; but with the cessation of life f hundreds eathered around to investi-1 gate the wonder. Ben. Butler will doubtless never be heard4rom in reference to the pillag ing of the wrecked Italian bark Gio -vanni -on the Massachusetts coast, a few days ago. The vessel was loaded with wine and other valuable mer chandise. She went to pieces, and a gang of banditti-real banditti, mind you-rFshed upon the dismantled ves sel and took everything they could t find, while sixteen dead victims of the t disaster were tossing in the surf be- t side them. Breaxing into the wine casks, they inserted their heads and drank themselves into a frenzy, which resulted in a wild and bloody conflict, fatal to many of them. This occurred on the soil of pious Massachusetts, and if Sheridan or Butler has discov ered anything approaching to it in bandittism in Louisiana, they have not mentioned it. This being the mouth when the great menageries perfect their arrange fnents for the summer campaign, a New York correspondent vouchsafes some curious information respecting I the business of importing wild ani- i mals. Mr. Charles Rohe, of New Yoik, is an extensive dealer ir. show animals, and has, indeed, no rival on the Continent. His busy season is ( now at hand, and at his establishment i one may find the leading showmen of the present day, who are replenishing their assortment of attractions. Ele- 4 phants are quoted from $2.000 to $0, 900,according tosize and origin;ecamels bring $600, giraffes $3,000, zebras $1, 200, while lions .range all the way a from $1,500 to $2,000. Leopards are< quoted at $500, and rhinoceroses at from &5.000 to $10,000. White bears are quoted at $1,200, ostriches are worth $500, and the anaconda is held fi . atthe same price. Hyenas are wortht $350, while the hippopotamus costs the enormous price of $12,000. Mon keys range from $12 to $150, accord ing to their intellectual status and t general development in the Darwinian 1 theory. An extensive dealer in wildi beasts recently imported an invoice of I giraffes; it was no job lot, but a fresh a stock of assorted sizes, the finest that i ever exchanged the freedom of tropical f Africa for the shocking bad climate of I New York. On their arrival they I were put in~ charge of an experienced t keeper. It is unnecessary to state that it has not been giraffe weather t lately. Stuffed giraffes might stand I it, b~ut live ones could not, and eight 1. of them-the whole stock-died in i one day. Their necks were so long I that when their throats got sore there t was no attendant tall enough to regu- I late the flannel bandages. War MOULTON STOOD IT.-No C wonder Moulton's physical endurance a baffed his inquistors, while it per- 1 plexed his audience. We all notices ' that his condition was superb, but C very few of us found out the key of his marvelous conservation of forces. i When the trial drew near, a friend r cautioned him that being a gay mant of the world, whose habits were no more regular than those of most of his kind, t the enemy would look for a collapse on the third or fourth day. Moulton ' took the hint and digested it. Seek- E ing a competent authority, he put ~ himself in athletic training. Every 1 morning he rose early and walked two ] miles, returning in a glow. He was carefully sponged with alcohol and wa- C ter, when he took for his breakfast oat C meal and rice cream. Thus prepared, t be entered the court, sucked a lemon t to clear his throat of all secretion, and took his seat overflowing with ani mnal health. Tracy on the other ~ hand, had been up all night boiting huge dyspeptic chunks of suggestion When the jaded lawye~r and the brisk witness entered into their daily strug gle, what chance was there for the at torney with the bile in his throat, and ~ drowsy blood stagnating in his brain ? "I was an hour ahead of Tracy all the time," says Moulton. The episode is respectfully commended to Charles Beade.-Cor. Chicago Tribune. THE LIFE OF MAN.-How graphi cally the varied aspects of the leaf pic ture the various seasons of man's life!1 The tenderness of its budding and blooming in spring, when that rich t golden green glints on it that comes only once a year, represents the bright t beauty and innocence of youth, w every sunrise brings its fresh, gI hopes. and every night its holy, trustfula calm. The dark greenness and lush vigor of the summer season portray r the strength and self-reliance of man hood; while its fading hues on thee trees,' and its rustling heaps on the t ground typify the decay and feeble- e ness of old age, and that strange, mnys- e terious passing away which is the doom of every mortal.

All the signs, all the precedents, all I he analogies of political history point D the total overthrow of the Republi an party in the election of next year. 'he most significant evidence of its pproaching destruction is the hardi ood with which its leaders in Con ress have set at defiance the admoni ions of the last autumn. About one mndred and twenty of the Republicans! a the last Senate and House were hen dismissed to private life. The aagnates of the party in the Senate rere stricken down, and the Republi an majority of one hundred in the. ecent House was changed to a Demo ratic majority of seventy-five n the ext. But this terrible rebuke utterly fail d to bring the Grant leaders to a tause. Indeed, it has failed even o bring them to reflection. They cem neither to look backward to.con emplate the teachings of the past, nor rward to calculate the conseqences f their headlong course. The infatu ted majorities in each House at the ecent session rushed blindly onward, eewiugly unmindful of the fact that ,uly three months previously the peo >le smote them terribly with their in lignafon at the polls ; and that with a the last few weeks their regular op >onents have elected many Democrats o seats long filled by Republicans ; Ud that the defeat of Chandler, arLd arpenter, and Ramsey, by Legisla ures nominally Republican, shows hat old-time leaders cannot control heir followers; while the success of addock in Nebraska, and Burnside n Rhode Island, and even of Sharon n Nevada, are undoubted anti-Grant ,ictories. Well, it has always been so with arties infatuated with a. long series af uninterrupted successes, whose taughty chieftains were intoxicated rith power, and whose centurions and aptains of fifties were gorged with >lunder. In 1837-8 Van Buren un ertook to carry through Congress ertain unpopular financial measures. he elections of the next fall returned majority of the House adverse to im. The Sage of Lindenwald did tot take warning from the rebuke, but [ring the short session in the middle f his term, his partisans carried hings with a high hand, just as the rantites have done now. But at the text Presidential election, the people iiscarded Van Buren and brought Villiam Henry Harrison from the ounty Clerk's office at Cincinnati d inaugurated him as his successor. Just twenty years later, in 1857-8, 3uhanan undertook to force negro lavery upon Kansas by judicial de rees and the bayonets of the army. he free States rose in indignation, ud at the Congress elections in the all of 1858 placed a majority in the ext House hostile to the Administra inn. But the Sageof Wheatland did hot take warning from the admonition; .nd during the short session, he push d his measures with more audacity han before-just as the Grant men have done now ; and in the Presi ential contest of 1860 the people re tdiated the Democratic candidates ,nd went to the banks of the Sanga no river and took Abraham Lincoln rom his dingy law office and made Lim the successor of the man who had Leld high posts in the Government for he previous thirty years. These examples will suffice to show he summary manner in which the people punish parties that do not end their ways after having been uly admonished. Hrving failed to rofit by the lessons of the past au umn, the Grant party must now pre are for the retributions of the next 'ear. The mad career of the Republicans aring the recent session removes all out t of the overthrow of the party 1876. The election of that year rill be a revolution as sweeping and omplete as those of 1840 and 1860. lt aspirants to the office of President i the ranks of the Opposition should emember that in the memorable con est of 1840 neither of the great chief ins, Clay, Webster, and Scott, won he prize of victory, and that it fell to be comparatively obscure Harrison; rhile in 186. eminent leaders like ~eward, Chase, Fessenden, and Wade ood aside while Lincoln, the rough ewn raispitter, strode into the White louse. The people will rejoice in the tri mph over fraud, corruzption, defiance f law, and contempt for the Constitu ion, no matter who may lead the at akins: column.-New York Sun. THE MEDICINEs EXEMPr UNDER 'HE NEW TAX LAW.-The comimis ioner of internal revenue has decided rith reference to the tax upon medi ines under the law of February 8, 875, that two classes heretofore held o be liable to stamp tax are condition ly exempted : First. Official medicines, or medi ines made and compounded accord g to formulas published on author ed standard medical authorities, but rhich have been heretofore put up in style or manner similar to that of atent or proprietary medicines in eneral. Second. Medicines unofficinal, or 2ade and compounded according to npublished formulas. In the first of hese cases the condition on which the zemption is made to depend is, that be formula shall published on the Ia el and dispensatory pharmacopia, or harmaceutical journal, or other stand rd medieal authority where such for iuia is published, shall be distinctly eferred to on the label. In the se ond case no proprietorship must be laimed, and to remove all semblance a any claim to proprietorship, or laim to have any private formula, or eult secret or art for making and reparing the same, the maker or comn ounder must publish on his label the xact formula which he uses, so that he medical article may be free and pen to the trade, if they see fit to 2ake or compound the same article. ~he formulas in all cases must be pub shed in form and manner, and indi ated by such weights anda measures sre om mneall11 adopted in their stand The Heralc. an to TPOS.

It is aaf gross injustice to the people on whom d the onus will fall, without material a benefit either to any but the Express de companies which have been fattening g so long on their exorbitant charges and i undue exactions. Thc persistent ef fort made b~y the agents of these com- d panies to have the law changed, on the d plea that it was working serious dis advantage to their interests, it is true, ed did produce some little show of fight, ~ but the merit of that is lost in tfelae indifference manifested toward the end f in allowing the change to be made. At first glance it may seem trifling, to but in reality it is not so, for the rates o are just double and treble those which bo the late law required. And for what?b To gratify the avaricious cupidity of 0 bloated corporations in giving them larger opportunities. The most chari- t table construction which can be put o upon it is that the members did not fully understand or weigh the matter a suficiently, although there are those who think that corrupt influences were brought to bear upon them. Be that A< as it may, the wrong is done and thev ye people will be made to feel the burden, and it will be strange if the general si voice is not loudly raised in condem- p nation. It was a stupid blunder of he the party who were using every effort ah1 to bolster up the third term project. h Another weight is added to the already n overburdened Grantites, and it may be all for the best. a wi Heavy Express Charges. th Numerous and reasonable complaints are being made of the excessive charges I1 demanded by the various Express com- sti panis. Frequently the charge is as sti large, if not larger than the original otl cost of the goods which they trans- sa port. A change is loudly demanded, and it is but right that some change a should be effected. It is true that the uncertainty of getting goods by 6e regular freight renders the employment of the Express a necessity, and it r rol:eicovnettodses would the incnce,ibut to disnea ad with their services, but so great ad. vantage should not be taken of the 24 tount of business. But that is not the purpose now, the question is, it right for the Express companies charge two, three and five dollars a package which cost no more in a buying, and to derive a profit on tich the seller must demand three ces? Hardly, we think. We re ,mber once paying $1.50 on a small Y-wheel not bigger round than a ver dollar and not more than a half uud in weight, and whose value was enty-five cents. Another case in iut was three iron spikes, six inches ig, sent to a railroad superinteudent samples from a Northern foundry, e Express charge on which was .75. These two are only a few out thousands of similar cases which ight be produced, but it is needless enumerate more of them. We only d that the excessive charges so fre. [ently made is a matter that calls for rious consideration, and in which e people generally are interested, cause the transit expense must of arse be added to the selling price of ods. The Legislature. Friday next is fixed upon af e day for adjournment. After haustive arguments pro and con in e case of the State Treasurer, the *estion on aereeing to the address r removal has been put and decided the Senate, yeas 11, nays 19, and the House, yeas 45, nays 63. The Governor has approved the act ich allows the County Commission s of Laurens to levy a special tax of roe mills, and the Commissioners of awberry to levy a special tax of 11 ills. An act to provide for the set. ,ment and redemption of certain aims against the State, returned with. it approval of the Governor, the ouse decided had become a law foi e reason that it had not been re rned within the proper time. - He has also approved an act to reg. ate the issuing of checks to laboren wn plantations and elsewhere. The bill to regulate the labor oi nvicts in the penitentiary, the bill charter the Charleston Water Com fny, and the bill to amend the lieE w were indefinitely postponed. The following bills have received i tal reading: Bill to regulate the compensation o1 e members of the General Assembly d to fix the mileage of the same. Bill to amend an act entitled, "cAr t to provide for the administratior derelict estates." Bill to establish by law the votina eeincts in the various counties 01 is State. Bill to protect anid encourage stock ising in South Carolina. The House bill to repeal all acts and rts of acts requiring deposits by in rance co'mpanies of stocks or bonde this State or of the United States for e protection of policy-holders within e State, received a third reading, d was sent to the Senate. Our exchanges teem with accounts fierce winds, severe lightning and usually heavy rains. A terrific tor do swept over Columbia on Monday rnoon, the 15th., without, however, ing much damage in the city, but out Mill creek, nine miles below, a relling house was demolished, to. ther with a mill, which was blown the pond, besides a wagon and im of mules, and two of the latter wnd. A negro man also sustained ious injury. About one and a half le beyond another house was wreck ,a young lady, the daughter of Mr. m. Davis, killed, and his wife and a seriously injured. Half a mile rther the roof of a house was torn and Brown's Methodist chapel mlly demolished. It is feared that er damage was done in the neigh. rhood. We notice, also, the death drowning of two children, one near iick Springs, Greenville, and the er in Oconee County, both of which ~lancholy causalties were the result the unprecedented rains. It is possible to estimate the loss of life d property in the last two or three eks. The number of bridges swept ay in the upper counties is immense. ~counts from the North, too, are ry disastrous, the snow storms piling one after another in rapid succes in until the drifts rise in frightful oportions, give rise to serious appre nsions that when spring sets in and thaw ensues that the destruction to and property will be fearful. Even w the most disastrous accounts are ren. The intense cold, heavy snows d rains, together with the high nds, which have prevailed during a winter have no parallel. Late accounts of the tornado which ssed over Columbia and vicinity Lte that it was much more de. .ctive than at first stated, several aer houses being destroyed.

Among the numbei the Mountain House at Morganton Dr. Happoldt, the proprietor of thi. well known house, is one of thos< staunch old veterans of whom it mai be said, there is no nonsense abou him, and his beef steak and frie( chicken ean't be beat. As a hotelis he is no more, but it is a comfort ti travellers to the mountains to knov that in private boarding house fashioi the best that delightful country afford will still be furnished. We are glai to know that he has not re.ired ii disgust, and that the chance is ye afforded the summer tourist to sit a his well filled table. The very sigh of that long, rambling, quaint build ing, nestling among its dense shad trees, and the mountain peaks whic rise up on every side around, are prc vocative of a good appetite, and th Doctor knows it. The veto - by Gov. Chamberlain c the bill to provide for the liquidatioi of the floating.debt of the State is a evidence that he is determined to ac for the best interests of the Statf His reasons are: That the extrava gance of the Legislature would mak it an unpardonable injustice to th people to incre*se the burden of tax: tion; that a vast majority of tb claims included in the Liquidatio bill are fraudulent; and the Commih sioners appointed by the Legislatur to pass upon the claims, do not con mand the confidence of the Executiv or that of the public. This is th truth in a nutshell. The Greenville Daily News says We understand that Judge Cook has determined that he will hold tb special term of the Anderson cour: beginning on the 29th inst. He ha concluded to take up the general se. sions business and get rid of it, i order to prevent a protracted sessio in May, when the farmers will be to busy to remain long away from the farms. This course, he thinks, wi give as near satisfaction as possibl The recent heavy ireshets ifterferin with the farming interests have dete mined the Judge to this course. Judge Cooke shows his wisdom i this decision and we commend hi: for it. Captain S. Place, Sheriff of Ke shaw, came to his death on Thursda last by a blow received from a polici man in the performance of his dut: The Sheriff was intoxicated and nois: and in the act of arresting him, tia policeman supposing he intended drav ing a pistol to shoot, knocked hi: down with his club.
