DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.-On Sunday last while a colore 1 man named Edward Heywood was walking across a trestle on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, about thirty miles from this city, he slipped and fell to the ground several feet below, and received Internal Injuries. He wa? brought to Charleston, and died about io o'clock Monday night. Coroner Whiting empan? elled a Jary yesterday, which viewed the body, after which lt was buried. The inquest will be hew as soon as the attendance of the witnesses ?an be sc?ured._ THE Cirr TAX ON R>:AL ESTATE.-The City Appraiser has no power to change in any way the assessed values or real or personal estate. This, In the case of real property, can only be done by the City Council, to whom appeal mutt be made. As a general result of the new assessment jost completed, lt may be ?tated that upon as per cent, ot the real estate the assessment has seen low? ered, upon 30 per cent, lt is unchanged, and upon 25 per cent, the assessment has been raised. THE DAT OF STEAMSHIPS.-There arrived ia oar harbor yesterday afternoon four superior steamships, viz: The Arragon, from Liverpool, to-Messrs. R. Mare A Co.; the Champion, from 3Tfw' York, to James Adger A Co.; the Zodiac, < from Philadelphia, to J. A T. Getty, and the Mary? land, from Baltimore, to Mordecai A Co. They are all well freighted, and contain valuable con signments for ?Ry and country. The Arragon kid oonstaat westerly storms from Marca io to Monday last, out behaved admirably throughout, giving the utmost satisfaction to her passengers. The coastwise steamers had heavy southeast and southwest gales off Cape Hatteras, but have suf? fered no damage or moment. The Zodiac, or the Philadelphia line, has had^her cabin elegantly fitted np, and she is now able to accommodate passengers with great comfort. SALES OP REAL ESTATE.-The following sales of real estate were made yesterday: Messrs. Leitch fe Bruns seid the lot wp.h two story wooden dwelling thereon, situated on the east side of Mazyck street, adjoining the land of the late Dr. Hall, fronting twenty-three feet, with a depth of two hundred and thirteen feet, for $900, and the two and a hair story wooden dwell? ing, known as No. 222 Meeting street, with lot fronting forty-two feet and running back one Hundred and fifty -seven feet, for &1925. ' Mr. McGUlivray sold the lot on '.he south side of Broad street and running back to St. Michael's alley, with improvements th?reon, fronting thirty feet and running back one hundred and eighty seven feet, for $4010. Messrs. Holmes A Macbeth sold the fine wood , yard, situated on Tower Creek, between Pine and Norman streets, near the New Bridge, measuring , one hundred and sixty-six fest eight laches on the south line, ninety-two feet on the west line, , one hundred and two feet on the east line, for $650. Oa it ls a whan iorty feet wide, more or , less. THE S?RINO TRADE in New York (whole? sale) has thus rar not been satisfactory, and this fact is explained on thc ground that the country buyers, in expectation of a sudden return of specie payments, are making only small purchases for their immediate wants. The idea that, in some way hoped for, but not explainable on any legitimate theory, a full return to a specie basis may happen at almost any moment, has wrought a good deal of mischief to business. It is quite certain that we shall not reach the specie stand? ard except by the action of regnlar monetary laws; and which, though working surely, work slowly. In the meantime trade is accommo? dating Itself everywhere to the fall In gold, and the resulting fall in raw materials and goods. lt wilfpave been noticed, by our advertising col? umns, that the dealers in this city have very generally and very promptly marked down their prices to the lowest standard called tor by the gold ' quotations. In view or the probabilities that gold 1 in Us fluctuations will rise considerable again, : customers here are sensibly taking advantage of the current low prices, and most ol our dry goods and other dealers seem to be doing a pretty brisk 1 spring business. 1 ?- 1 PHOSPHATES.-There are but few of our citi? zens who are aware or the Immense trade in fer? tilizers conducted by our merchants. From data ? in our possession, a fair estimate of the quantity of fertilizers sold by onr merchants during the season now clostag is fifty thousand tons. The names of these fertilizers are the Carolina Fertili? zer, Wando Fertilizer, Double Refined Poudrette, , Niles' Phosphate, Peruvian Guano, Pacific Guano, , Phoenix Guano, Baugh's Phosphate, Rhodes' Phos? phate, Rhodes' Standard Manare, Orchlllo Guano, , Land Plaster, Mapes' Superphosphate, Wool stoa's Phosphate of Lime, Woolston's Yegetator, Croasdale's General Superphosphate, Bowers' Complete Manure, Sard j's Phosphate Peruvian, Sardy'a Pacific Guano, Patapsco Guano, E. Frank Coe's A HI m ontated Bone Phosphate, Coe's Pure Dissolved Bone, Whann's Superphosphate, Etl waa Guano, Zed's Ammonlated Bone Phosphate. The average price per ton is sixty dellars, mak? ing the value of the fifty thousand tona sold three milhun dollars. The base of nearly one-half of these fertilizers ls formed from the native South Carolina phosphate. There has been a considerable amount of crnde phosphate exported; how much, we could not learn. * -. TUE Hion SCHOOL MEETING OP THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.-An adjourned meeting or the Board or Supervisors or the High School was held In the Mayor's office on Monday afternoon last, for the purpose of-hearing the report? of the committee to whom had been referred the ques? tions or the propriety oi redaclng the price ot tuition, and the right or the State to tax the High School. The board was Informed that Auditor Tom lia ?on had decided that the tax levied upon the building was Illegal, and had ordered it to be withdrawn. It was decided to fix the price of tuition per quarter at $0 instead of $12, as heretofore. also, that there should be two weeks' vacation Ht April, eight weeki commencing from thc first or August, ?ndthe usual Christmas holiday; also, that thc Supervisors should meet the first Wedcesday In the months or April, July, October and Janaury. One or the committee recommended that the teachers af French and German at the school be abolished, on the ground that lt was too expen? sive. As we learn, Aldermai Collins stated that ?ne of tue alderman ic supervisors, who was tn favor of abolishing these teachers, was at one time in favor or abolishing the school Itself, and lie fearod that this was an Initiatory movement to that end. The recommendation of the commit? tee was rejected. We are Informed that the board will shortly Issue a letter calling upon oar citizens to take such steps ai wul Insure to this college the sup pert it so well merits. AMUSEMENTS. Our American Consin. I Tb? plot, if plot it can be called, of "Our American Cousin," is too well known to need a description. It is a play in which many actors hare made a reputation, and its ancient fame drew to the Academy or Music last night an au? dience which ailed the builling from parquette to roof-tree. Of the performance it may bc said, in general terms, that every part was well filled, and that no light or abade was wanting to make up the whole serio-humorous picture of mingled wit. pathos and burlesque. The central character was, of cooase, Miss Laura Keene (Florence Trenchard.) whose conception of the joyous and frank, yet shrewd and earnest English girl, was a clean-cut dramatic cameo, the like of which is not often seen. Miss Keene is equally at home, whether the trait of the moment be sentiment or superficial feeling, and in all is a consummate actress, who knows full well that the perfection or art is art concealed. Mr. Frank Mordaunt (Abel Norcott) had an unthankful part, but played with a repressed force aud subdued strength which made the role as attractive as pain? fully true to nature. Of Mr. Otis (Lord Dundreary) it is enough to say that he made a possibility of an impossibility, and caus? ed the foibles of th? "treincndous swell'' to seem almost respectable. In his "wid dies." and his colloquy with Asa Trenohard (Mr. Hawk) in the second act. he was particularly suc? cessful. Thc "American Cousin" himself (Mr. Hawk) was far more winning than the Vermon? ters with whom Charleston usually deals, nis humor was quaint and simple, without rorclng or exaggeration, and it must bc admitted that the sympathies or the audience were thoroughly with him. This may bc taken as an additional :>roor or the "truly loyal" temper or the people or South Carolina. May Meredith was played by Miss Anderson "veiy delicately," and Mr. McNulty made a capital binney, a model "upper servant,'' so-called, in the second act his bits or realistic acting caused him to be called berore the curtain with his boon companion Coyle (Mr. Wallis.) The play went off with smoothness, and the company fully confirmed and increased the favor? able opinions formeil of them in "Hunted Down."' When the curtain fell there was a mighty storm of applause. To-night we have the raraous comedy of "School," tn which Miss Keene will appear as Naomi Tighe. BILL OF MORTALITY.-The number of deaths in this city for the week ending March' 26tli, were twenty-ive-eight whites and seventeen blacks. In addition to these, four still-births are reported. CUSTOMHOUSE CHANGES.-We learn that Mr. George H. Young, deputy collector of this port, has been removed,and suceeeded by Mr. Oakman, the auditor. Mr. Rawlings, the boarding officer, will step into Mr. Oakman 's place. THE PORT ROTAL RAILROAD.-The Augusta Chronicle says: "The prospects for the completion or the railroad between this city and Tort Royal are dally brightening. Two hundred and tl rt y tons or Iron have lately been received in Charleston for laying the track of this road, and more ls dally expected ta arrive. The chief engineer states that wort: will soon be'" commenced be? tween tMscity and thc Savannah River, and the entire work will be t-nfshed by next October.'' > THE GERMAN'S AND THE SAVANNAH' TRIP. The Savannah Advertiser of yesterday says : "Messrs. Blun and Valentine Basler will visit Charleston to-day to extend an invitation from the Germania Steam Fire Engine Company to the German Company or Charleston to visit our city aa their guests, and to take part in the annual May parade. The Germania cannot be excelled as g?nerons hosts, and we can safely assure their expected guests a warm, welcome and bountiful cheer." CRUMBS_The public schools are being taste rully decorated by the scholars, preparatory to the coming examination and other exercises. The examination or the scholars at the public schools will be commenced on to-morrow. The post band will play upon thc battery from 'our to six o'clock this afternoon. The public examination of thc High School will ;ake place to-day, commencing at 9 o'clock. Several pockets were picked Monday night, luring the serenade. Three more parties suspected ot burglarizing Messrs. Moller A Nimitz's store were arrested yesterday. Fines to the amount of $30 were Imposed by the Mayor yesterday. Hotel Arrival?-Blare h ?9.

Special Notices. ps- THE RESPONSffilTJTTES OF THE LIVER.-The liver has a very important part to perform In the animal economy. Its function is two-fold. Thc fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and regulates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality of the secretion depends, in a great degree, the adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the due removal of the refuse matter which remains In the intes? tines after the work of digestion has been accom? plished. One fir the principal uses or HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS ls to tone and control this somewhat unruly organ. The anti-bilious proper? ties or the preparation are scarcely secondary to its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver is not violent like that ot mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead or creating a sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, lt regulates its action by degrees. Hence, lt is a safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremen? dous excitant, ls not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to Its normal condition the better, and lt I3 the peculiar property or this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regulate without exciting or con? vulsing. The success which has attended its use as a remedy for affections or the liver ls proverbial. Pericas or a bilious habit who take lt habitually as a protection against the attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce lc the best liver tonic in existence. The symptoms of an approaching flt of biliousness can hardly be mis? taken. A pain In the right side or under the shoulder blades, a saffron tinge in the whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsiness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual Indications ot a morbid condition or the liver, and as soon as they appear the BITTERS should be resorted to in order to ward off more serious consequences. mctta gt_ pS-k GRAND EPOCH IN SCIENCE.
