are told by a dispatch that the authorities discoun?
tenanced it.
-A Missourian tried to trick an Insurance com?

-A newly married lady In Chicago complained
to hem^that on her reception day bercard
* bas&t was overrun with circulars from lawyers
announcing terms for divorce. "So absurd,
you know, ma, before our honeymoon ls over."
' True, dear," replied ma, (who had been twice
divorced,) "but I'll put them in a safe place; you
may find them very usefnl in a year or two."_
[Lilly by the side of Mi*s Henrietta-, com?
monly called Miss Gennie, who had been cele?
brated for her beauty, but was then somewhat
past the meridian of life. "They say you are a
great man for making puas," said Miss Hennle
to the wit, "could you make one on met" "Ab,
Hennie," was the cruel rejoinder, "ye arc no
chicken I"
-It bas been proved beyond dispute that pain
? can be felt for twenty minutes after decapitation,
hythe following experiments, made by a Paris
surgeon: Two human heads were placed in the
rays of the sun, and thc eyelids which had been
opened were immediately shut; and the head of
an assassin named Terrier, which was experi?
mented opon more than a quarter of an hour
after having beeu separated from the body, turn?
ed Its eyes when called.
-The rapid mercase of Jefferson, Texas, is the
"wonder of wonders." Over one mllion of dol?
lars have bceu expended on public and private
buildings since the great fire, and structures to
the value of two hundred thousand dollars are
now under contract and in course of erection.
Fortunes have been made by the purchase of real
estate within the corporate limits during the last
eighteen months. Its population is now 12.000.
-The Minnesota House of Representrtlvcs
passed recently, by a vote of 33 to 13, a bul for an
amendment to thc State Constitution providing
tor female suffrage. The bill provides that women
may vote upon the proposition, their ballots to bc
received in special boxes. Several members sta?
ted that although opposed to woman suffrage,
they voted for the measure In order to have it
submitted to the people of the State. The Senate,
lt is supposed, would concur.
-A resolution was offered in the Illinois Con?
stitutional Convention on the 16th in favor of an
article in the amended constitution to prohibit
white and colored children from attending public
schools, and to provide separate schools for each,
and prohibit any appropriation of the taxes paid
by the colored people or the State for the educa?
tion of white people, and prohibit the appropria?
tion or auy part of the taxes paid by the white
people ror the education or colored people, and
that such article be submitted separately to thc
people.
-Queen Victoria is the richest widow in the
world. She has an income that is large enough
to render any man happy at her domestic fire?
side. Her-allowance from the British Govern?
ment ls ?385,000, to which must be added ?25,000
from t*? ? Duchy or Lancaster, making a total or
?410,000 per annum, besides at least a dozen rent
free castles, palaces and mansions. As she ac
oepted a legacy of ?250,000 from Mr. Neeld (who
passed over his own relations to enrich her,) as she
inherited ?i,ooo,090 from Prince Albert lu 1S61,
and as she has not spent a third or her allowauce
since his death, it ls estimated that her Majesty's
cash capital, well invested, is at least ?2,000,000.
-The New York Nation, usually 60 accurate
and fastidious In thc usc of language as to be a
model for youthful writers, speaks editorially this
week of Congress "donating millions" to rail?
roads, and thinks there were people who paid off
in paper daring the war debts contracted in
gold, and "saved forty, fifty, or a Jiundrrd lu?
cent, i i the process." Mr. Micawber's I. O. C's
made about such a saving as this ; but we be
lleve thc greenback was never quite worthless.
The Nation also has, "When the time comes, ir it
\B going to conwV'-and otherwise shows that it
ls not quite infallible in matters of literary ele?
gance, any more than hastily made up daily
papers.
-A company ha's recently been organised tor
the purpose or constructing a pneumatic tube Tor
the transmission of freight by means or hollow
spheres. It is claimed that the products or the
country can bi transported to and from all parts
or the country In a rew hours instead or days, and
at a trifling cost. The new vehicle requires a per
feet road-bed or track on which to operate. This
road-bed has been prepared by the invention or
the pneumatic tube. On the bottom a metallic
plate will be laid, slightly concave, to adapt it to
thc convexity of the sphere. The hollow globes, in
which freight is to be placed, will be propelled by
the exhaustion or air rroin the other end or the
tube worked by au air-pump. A3 soon
as air enough is drawn out of the tube to destroy
its equilibrium, the current strikes the sphere aud
carries it tb its destination. Thc pressure on a
sphere six feet in diameter, under a complete ex?
haustion, would be about tlfty-two thousand
pounds. When the spheres arc once in morion a
pressure of less than one hundred pounds will
propel them as rapidly as required, ll is claimed
that a velocity of from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred miles an hour can bc attained.
The tubes can be placed over or under ground. It
ls proposed to make them of wood-of narrow
plauk, tongued and grooved, thc joints cemented.
Is is estimated by the originator that a line or
tubes, eight feet in diameter, can be built- ror
about Sio.oco a mile, thc right or way not in?
cluded. _
The Blue Ridge Railroad Company.
Thc special committee appointed to in?
vestigate into the condition and management
of the Blue Bulge Railroad Company, have
made their report, and its sum and sub?
stance is a generous meed of praise to the
presideut aud directors of the company,
and a broad expression of the opinion of the
committee that the road has been managed
with sagacity and discretion. The commit?
tee agree with the directors in their idea that
it would be unwise to publish, nt this time,
the full official reports of the proceedings of
the company and its negotiations with the
contractors. They do, however, sketch out
the history of thc famous CrissveH & Co.
contract, and justify the directors in first
making the contract, as well as in can?
celling it when the contractors failed to ful
I fil their agreement. The committee assert
that no contract, offering the same ndvan
ages, could have boeu closed at a lower
price; upon which branch of the Bubject
there will still be a wide difference of opiuion.
But when the directors say, without circum?
locution, that they cancelled the contract be?
cause the contractors could not or would not
do the work; that they paid the contractors
seventy-five .jusand dollars to avoid a
long and tedious lawsuit; and timt they can
now make contracts at a million and a half
less than the price of the Crissvell contract,
they are likely to have public opinion-on
their side. And the feeling in their favor
will be strengthened by the statement that
norteHl the four million dollars of bonds
guaranteed by the State have been sold, and
that only a small amount is field in paxen.
This is good news and plenty of it.
One point is very clear, although it may
seem ungenerous to direct attention to it If
the road is to cost one or two millions less
than the first estimate, ii' the company is to
reap the benefit of a fall in the premium on
gold from 3G to 19, and from 19 to par, if a
new and less costly route is to be chosen, if
the money of the State and the credit of the
company arc to be husbanded instead of
.wasted-not one iota of the credit belongs to
the board of directors. The stupid failure
of Cfissvcll Jc Co. has done the whole work.
These much discussed individuals gave the
company au opportunity of doing what ought
to hav^becn done in the beginning, and it
was certainly worth seventy-five thousand
dollars to save one and a half million
whether the seventy-five thousand was to be
divided between Columbia and Pennsylvania,
or to be use? in buying up the stock of the
road which gives the Blue Ridge line its
main outlet to the sea.
The public can now form some idea of the
position of the Blu<; Ridge Road. To com
PjeAeJt.wilI.take.^1\vo o??ar^pr^more^^uj^
dollars in money. The public insist that the
means of the compati}-, furnished it by thc
State, shall be expended cautiously and
honestly; but, this being once assured, it
will be the general wish that thc work should
go on. This seems to be the drift of popular
opinion, on the coast no less than ir. the
shadow of the mountain range tb rough
which the Blue Ridge Road must pass.
The South ur. a her Chances.
In this State, for various reasons, very
little has been done of late years in erecting
cotton mills and factories, and our manu?
facturing power is certainly no greater, and is
most likely less, than it was before the war.
Large factories for the marufacture of com?
mercial fertilizers are in successful opera?
tion ; but the ileecy cotton still travels to the
North and to England, to return only when
loaded down with ihe cost of carringe, insu?
rance, waste, profits and commissions, added
to the actual expense of spinning. Yet no
one doubts tho wisdom of erecting cotton
mills in South Carolina. Wistful eyes are
turned to the shallows of the Columbia canal,
and eager cars are opened wide to catch the
first word of promise which may fall from
the lips of a New England cotton prince.
Nothing is done; but thc public know thut
with proper management the Southern cot?
ton mills could drive New England ont of
the market, and they fold their hands and
hoard their little means, and, like a huge
family of Micawbers, wait for something to
turn up.
And something will turn np, sooner or
later; sooner, if wc put our shoulders to the
wheel; ?aler, if-trusting toan awaketvng of
the commercial and speculative spirit In the
minds of others-we do nothing ourselves to
ripen thought into action. The brilliant
promise of the South, ?13 a manufacturing
country, cannot always bo hid under a
bushel. Calculations made with care show
that a cotton nu!l in South Carolina can
make money while a similar mill in Lowell
barely pays its running expenses. These
arc plain, broad facts, which .ire spreading
over the United States, and have even quick?
ened the pulses of the spinners of Lan?
cashire. The South wants no Protection.
If we cannot, with c-qtial chances and Free
Trade, make cotton goods as cheaply as any
other country can make them, it is not to
the advantage of tho South to turn from the
hop to thc loom and the spinning jenny.
We believe that wo ean manfacture cotton
goods as cheaply in Hie South as they can
be manufactured in any village in New Eng?
land or Old England. If we cannot, then
we will grow the i tapio while others spin and
weave.
At this time South Carolina, and the whole
South, is hampered by want of commercial
capital. This is one great trouble. We have
not capital enough to handle the raw mate?
rials, and cotton spun in this State is shipped
direct to New York, anti is then brought
back again to Charleston for sale. In thc
six States of Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina and Vir?
ginia there are but 3C national batiks, with
a combined capital of $7,000,000. Charles?
ton alone, before the war, had $13,000,000
of bani capital. What wonder, then, that
it is only by squeezing and straining wo can
hold the trade we have, without investing a
dollar in machinery and bricks and mortar?
There is, however, in the Southern coun?
try a vast sum of money which lies idle, and
does less present good to its owner, and to
thc country, than its weight in brass or un?
printed paper. The millions of currency sent
down Sentli year by year, are still in the South ;
but the money is not employed in building
factories and railroads and steamships, or in
widening and deepening the channels of
trade. It lies hid in old corners-it is hoard?
ed away. As the Indian ryot, in a state of
eternal insecurity, returns his hoard of silver
to the ground from which it caine in the
shape of cotton and rice, so do tho Southern
people hide away with zealous care the
profite of each season. And this they will
continue to do until they have honest and
stable State Governments, until they have a
free banking law, until the restrictions im?
posed by Congress upon a free circulation of
the curreucy are altogether removed.
It is generally believed that there is now
more money in South Carolina than there
was ton years ago, and the hoard increases
in volume ia every year. When Congress
unties our hands, when we obtain an able
and economical government, the gold and
the greenbacks will quickly como out from
their hiding places, and give us capital
enough to handle all the business we can
catch, and to build ali the mills we. need.
But ir the change for the better be long de?
layed, the miserly habit may become another
nature; and then, for all that wc need of
commercial means, we shall depend on the
tender mercies of the speculator or foreigner.
These will come when they find that money
is to be made more plenteously here than
elsewhere, and in making money for them?
selves they must help to raise np and devel?
op the whole State and the whole people.
Let tbcm come, then, and the more tho
merrier!
THE black Senator,'Revels, still occupies a
senatorial sofa, and whether ho will ever
stretch his ebon legs beneath a mahogany desk, (
and snap his dusky fingers at the saucy pages,
has become a question of morals. Sumner
may congratulate Mrs. Revels in the gallery,
and Downing give dinners in honor of the now
legislative color; but all that will not suffice
the stern moralists of thc Senate. They have
suddenly discovered that the purity of their
dignified body will be contaminated by the ad?
mission of one whose past ?ecord, after indus?
trious research, gives up some naughty stories
of indiscretions, youthful and otherwise, and
the great social and poHtlcal ice-breakor of his
race ls counted out until this delicate matter ls
settled. Wc have not been nscd to consider
Irreproachable virtue as one ol tho necessary
qualifications of a senator. The freshness of
scandal has hardly yet worn off I hose stories
01'divorce obtained, of clerkships granted, and
of boarding-house exposures, in which certain
senators figure as thc moving cause. Indeed,
what with the known general state ot society
in Washington, and thc particular instances
now and then mentioned, one can scarcely be?
lieve the virtue of senators to bc, like their
loyalty, iron-ciad. But while they are about
it, lt ls rather curious that thc first victim to
this newly aroused morality should bc the very
negro whom the Radicals have professed to
long for.

p RAT T'S "ASTRAL" OIL
Unlike many other Illuminating Oils, ls per?
fectly pure and rree from all adulterations or
mixtures of any kind, lt emits no offensive
smell while burning, gives a sort and brilliant
light, and can be used with the same assurance
or surety as gas. Chemists pronounce lt the
best and surest Illuminating Oil ever offered to
the public; and Insurance Companies endorse and
urge upon consumers the use of thc "Astral" Oil
lu preference to any other, lt ls now burned by
thousands of families, and iu no instance has
auy accident occurred from its use; a lump filled
with lt, If upset and broken, will not explode. To
prevent adulteration, the "Astral" Oil ls packed
only in the Guaranty Patent Cans, of 1 gallon
ami 5 gallons each, and each caa ls scaled In a
manner that cannot bc counterfeited. Every
package with uncut seal we warrant. Be sure
