THE DAILY NEWS. A Fish Story. A whale of great porosity. And small specific gravity, rived down with great velocity, Beneath the sea's concavity. But soon the weight of water Squeezed io his fat immensity, Which vareid-as it on ht to Inversely as his density. It would have moved to pity An Ogre or a Hessian, To see poor Spermaceti Ibus suffering compression. The whale he lay a roaring, In agonies gigantic; The lamp oil ont came pouring, And greased the wide Atlantic. (Would we'd been in tho navy. And cruising there. Imagine us AU in a sei ot gravy. With billows oleaginous!) At length old million-pounder, Low on a bed of co-ai Gave his last dying flounder ; Whereto I pen this moral : MOBAL. Oh 1 let this tale dramatic Anent th's whale Koiwogian, And pressure b\ drostalie, Waru you, my young collegian lhat down-compelling forces Increase as you get deeper ; The lower down your cours" ie, The upward pa'h'sthe steeper. A COLORED "RECEPTION.? A NOT el Scene In Ute Federal Capital. Tho Washington correspondent of the New york HeraiV writes : An event somewhat novel to tho fashionablo season in the national capital occurred at the residence of Secretary Browning on Saturday afternoon last. The* Secretary Rave a recep? tion to tho colored messengers of the De. >art ment of the Interior and their families. From the best accounts given of the inception and reenltof this entertainment it would appear that wheu the genial Secretan- itsued invi? tations to tho heads of bureaus and clerk-- of his department to visit him on Friday evening, ho left tho colored em? ployees "ntirely out in tho cold. In view of their altered circumstances these aspirants for perfect equality had no ict on of allowing , things to go on as they did under the old re? gime, and so eithor delegated one of their ? number to jog the Secretary's memory cou- j ceming a certain proclamation issued by Presi? dent L ncoln, or managed in som? way to hint ( to bim that all the employees of the depart- j ment should bo served alike Tho Secretary ] M6f.w the point," and sent his messenger to a , comber of tho colored messengers m the several bureaus with a verbal invitation to them and their families to call upon hi DI so', t and Mrs. Browning betwecu tho hours of two and five o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Browning desired to seo all his snbortii- 1 rtftteu coUectively to bid them farewell previous to his ret iii ment from office, aud concluded to J ^ adopt 'hi8_method of doing it. Ibo Secretar, and Mrs. uiowtuopT -fcordingly made pi'epiii'a tions to givo their colored guests a kiud reccp- I tion. Tho appointed hour arrived, and with it arrived a stunning concourse of dusky visitors. Deeming punctuality a virtue too much ne? glected, they had determined not to fol? low the example of fashionable) whites and ; drop m scatteringly, but to pounco upon the amiable Secretary in a body, after the manner of a surprise party. Mr. j Browning may have been somewhat sur- , prised at the size of the multitude that appear? ed. He probably was, but he received thom ' with marked politeness, and, together with nia < wife, went through thc ceremony of a vigorous ? band-shaking. At this stage of thc proceed- , inga, another departure from established pre? cedents in tho matter of receptions occurred. J One of the met-senyors, Mr. Bowen, drew ' forth a carefully folde i paper, aud, clearing : his throat, read it, after which be handed it to Mr. Browning. Thc address had at least one merit-it was commendably brief. Hore it is, precisely as written and spoken : "Bon' Secretary Browning-Sra : We, the colored employees in tho United States Patent Office, should not accept of tho invilation ?ou have been pleased to extend to us in thc unable position we have held uuder your ad? ministration of the Interior Department with? out expressing to you our gratitude toward 1 our race, from the fact that it is without a " precedent of an American statesmen, which < will be long remembered by ns. Therefore wo < wish you and your family a long and happy life." 1 At the conclusior of this address, Mr. Brown? ing replied ny thanking them for their good wishes. He was clad to sec so many of his faithful messengers around him. He had always found them zealous and trustworthy, and wherever it might bo his lot to dwell, lie '' would remember them kindly. A bright future was opening beioro them, in which < many of their race would riso to dignity and honor; but their success riBted mainly with themselves. Tho efforts of white men. friends to their race, would avail but little, unless they E too wowed their ?oy" io tho wished-for goal, < %ith honesty, integrity and the faithful prac- j tice of every virtue. He warned th?m to be? ware of designing demagogues, who professed , friendship for tho colored man only to betray him, and assured them that, whatever may bo ? said to the coutrary, there could not ba la any t section ot tho couniry warmer or more dis? interested frknds to the colored race than the ] intelligent classes of the South. They should , not pin their political faith to any particular party in the belief that their friends eau only be lound in that party alone, but should study p the institutions and laws of their country in connection with their own welfare and cb'ooso ( for themselves. The speech-making ended, the Secretary invited them iuto a i adjoining room, where a table was spread with a bounte? ous supplv of refreshments, to which they do- : voled their att?nuons with most praiseworthy < zeal. To the colored employee* of the Interior Department this was an epoch, and, judging < -from the great glee with which they ciucuss the momentous evonts of last Saturday, they will servo asan absorbing theme for months to 1 come. 1 AFFAIRS IN TUE STATE. Chester. The Reporter commends thc action of thc Legislature in abolishing thc death penalty exc'-pt in murder cases. W. W. Starr, Esq., of Chester, has boon re? moved by Governor Scott fi om ?ns position as magistrate, and Dr. Eli Cornwell hts been ap? pointed in his stead. Tho following propel ty was sold in Chester by the sheriff on the 1st instant, at tho annex? ed prices : 'Tract of land, IsO acres, sold for $1875-Boyd vs. Sterling. Defendaut's interest in 400 acres ot land, sold for $100-Cowspr vs. T. H^wze. Oue traot of 103 acres, soli by or? der of the Judge of Probate, for $7 per acre. One other tract of 103 acres, more or lebe, sold by order of Judge of Probate for $30. The court in Chester continued its sitting till Saturday afternoon, and not having at that time completed the business of ihe tenn, his Honor Judge Thomas adjourned tho court ti il the fourth Monday in February. This was made necessary by thc fact that the Judge has to bold the regular term for Lancaster County this week, and that ho will probably continue there till he finishes up tho dockete. Greenville. Governor Scott baa appointed Rev. James M. Bunion, ot Greenville Cour.ty, a Notary Public. Sixty students hu ve already entered tho Col? legiate Departmcu. of Furmati University. Dr. Nathaniel Clark ind Dr. Randall Croft, boin, oid residents of Grenville, died within' the last week.

Land of estate ot P. E. Duncan, contain? ing 95 acres put chased by H. P. Hammett, Bsq., for $265. OUR PHOSPHATES.-The New York Evening. Post bas an editorial account of the large deposit of minorai phosphate on the Ashley and Cooper Rivera, just above Charleston, which says: It is not unreasonable to expect that, just as ships trom every part of the civilized world have flocked to the Chincha I Blands in aeareh of Peruvian guano, so will they before Jong crowd the wharves of Charleston in quest of that element of guano found there which has the most lasting value. This long-bidden source of wealth cannot fail to draw to this now forsaken port tho enterprise and capital necessary for its regeneration, and for the es? tablishment of permanent prosperity. A Com? pany in Charleston, which is now engaged in the preparation of a fertilizer of which theso phosphates oro the chief constituent, find a ready market at $C0 per ton for this pro? duct. The cost o?a ton of two thousand pounds, as they proparo it, is thus divid? ed: Fourteen hundred pounds crude plio? phate. $5 CO; four hundred pounds snlphurij acid, $12; two hundred pounds ground animal refuso, $1 50-total cost of material, S19 10. Tho cost of manipulation may carry tho entire outlay to $23, which leaves a very wide margin for an iucroaso iu the cost ot tho phosphate. Either superphosphate of lime must become much ckeapor, in consequence of this discove? ry, cr tho owners of tho phosphate lands must become rapidly neb, for it is impossible that so larco a profit as $35 per ton can long be made in a manufacture in which there is no monopoly. WHAT ROXATTI COSTS.-Somebody has taken tho trouble to count up the various ?urns which Victoria and her family annually draw for their personal use from fie people of Eogland. Here are bis figures: Queen Victoria's Privy Purse.?385,000 From the Duchy of Lancaster.. 25,000-?410,000 Trustees ol late King Leopold... . 17.5U0 Duchess of Cambridge. 6,000 Duke of Cambridge.?12,000 As Commander-in-Chief. 6.101 Colonel of three regiments. 4,500 Banger of four Royal Parks. 8,000- 3n,501 Princess Mary of Cambridge. 5,010 Crown Princess ol Prussia. 8,000 Princess Alice. 6,000 Pricce of Wales.?4i>,000 Frem Duchv ol Cornwall. 60,000- 100,000 Princess of Wales. 10.000 Diueof Fdiubu'-gh. 15,000 Prince*.- Helera. 6,000 ToUd.?408 001 This is exclusive of ?1500 paid to tho Prince of Wales as Colonel of tho Tenth Hussars, tho ?1000 paid to the Duke of Edinburgh as com? mander in the navy, and the rental value of the various royal palaces, all of which, together with the sums stated above, mako an amount of between $3 000.000 and $4 000,000 in gold. No wonder that Queen Victoria lays by several hundred thousand dollars every year, and now has a private fortuue of nearly $10 000,000. Louis Napoleon, according "to the same au? thority, costs Frunce $12,000,000 annually for bis private expenses, and is heavily in debt aesides. Communal.
