A MASTODON'S JAW.-Professor Shepard has in his possession at the laboratory of thc Medieal College, the lower jaw of a youo^ male mastodon. It is about two feet long. From the ract that the teeth are not worn at all, as would be the case with an older animal, it is judged that the former pos^sssor or this Jaw was young and a male. lt bad two tusKS in the lower Jaw, about a loot long. This Jaw was dug up at Phos phateviiie, near thc Eight-mile Pump, on the Northeastern Railroad. Other portions of the body, such as the ankle bones, vertebra), Ac, have been round, but unlike this jaw, were so de? cayed as to scarcely bear handling. Thc cranium has not been round. The herblferous beast which chewed with thlsjaw, although young, must have been between eleven and twelve feet high, and about eighteen feet long. "There were glan ts in those days."

"REV. MR. HICKS'S LECTURE.-The conclud? ing lecture or the series at thc Academy or Music had a smaller audience than lt deserved, whether we regard the elevation or the subject or fhe 1n ish of the style. Thc theme was the law ana the true aim or lire. The leeturer Insisted upon the . absolute supremacy ot conscience as the princi? ple or 4aty; as thc power by which character ls moulded, aud as the tower of happiness. Moral greatness ho commended as not only the most .worthy end of human ambition, but as an attain? ment within thc reacli of every man. The leo Tarer Insisted with intense and thrilling earnest? ness that thlsconsummation of a perfect humanity was not only independent of thc sway of external circumstances, but was even promoted by diffi? culty aud opposition. The address at the close "was direct and pungent, and would not have been unsuited to Hie sacred desk. The speaker -expressed the hope that others or the Charleston clergy would follow thc example that he had ven? tured to set, and use the "beautiful temple or arf^pr the delivery or lectures, more secular In character than those delivered in our chnrcues. The attendance, however, during the series now concluded, will scarcely justlty that expectation. STATE SUPREME COURT, Aran. 12.-The Court 1 met at Columbia 10 A. M.

Shepard, Jr., before the Charles ton County Agricultural and Horticultural Socie ty, was delivered iu the laboratory of the Mcdi College last night. T?tere was a good attendance Among those present were several scientific gen tlemeu. and a number of our fertilizing mer chants. The subject lor the evening was "Soils, Origin, Physical and Chemical Properties." speaker divided his subject as follows: Kltr of thc air and soil, humic substances, sulphur acid, phosphoric acid, silicic acid, bases, forma tiou of soils, composition and properties, original analysis. The lecture was very interesting and instructive, and we regret our inability to glv more than the following brief synopsis, which w fear does not do the lecturer justice. NITROGENOUS FOOD OF PLANTS. Thc lecturer first treated ol nitrogenous food of plants, which is nitric acid and ammonia which are contained in all natural waters furthermore, in rain, snow, dew and mist. Although they are present in small quantities in ram. snow and dew, still the amount of nitrogen ons matter deposited on the soil In this manner ls very considerable. Careful experiments car ried on at the dlffereut German agricultural stations, have demonstrated that the amount of uitrogen which ls thus yearly deposited varies from two to eighteen pouuds per acre, which will be equivalent to from twelve to one hundred pounds of Peruvian guano to the acre. Nitrogen enters largely into the composition and food of ali organic structures-both vegetable and aili mal; hence, all fallings and droppings, whether from plant or animal, all refuse organic matter as well as the decaying organic tissues, rurntsh large quantities of nitrogenous matter to the soil L OM us. Thc lecturer then explained that the term hu mus Implied organic matter undergoing and still capable or decomposition. Humus presctits to the plant an easy source or rood. It Improves the earth by the lively chemical action which it In daces, also by tearing up and loosening thestruc turc or soils, as well as increasing their power or reten?on and absorption or vegetable food. PHOSPHORIC ACID was the next bead treated or by tho lecturer. Ho stated that during the past few weeks there had been discovered in the nodular phosphatic depo sits found in South Carolina, portions or the teeth and skeletons or various tropical animals, suca as the tapir and mauultc or sea-cow. With such faots at his disposal, the geologist can assert that at the period or the formation or this deposit the climate must have been similar to that or the tropical regioas of our own time. This supports certainly the theory advanced by Dr. C. D. Shep? ard, Sr., who is of tho opinion that the deposit ls iu the main due to the extensive deposition or bird guano in this neighborhood similar to that which is still going on In the Carribean Sea, and other localities in the tropics. Thc absence or bird bones presents no serious objection, since we know how easily such bones decompose and disappear. Allowing for the action or heat aud water upon a guano deposit-, wc should expect material similar to that wc really have in our own deposits. That a lai;re number or animal re matus, both marine and land, arc found mixed lu with the nodules, lu fact, sometimes imbedded in them, is auother proof that our continent has been successively raised and depressed rroni its present level. That there is wealth in our deposits need hard? ly bc mentioned, bal the following facts may be adduced to show the Importauce or phosphoric acid. The Chester cheeses or Euglaud are justly celebrated, and sluce centuries thc exportation or the article has beeu immense. Now cheese contains over flve-pcr ceut. or ash, or'nou-vola- I ? tile Ingredients, and prominent among them ls I n phosphoric acid. This extraction or phosphoric a acid from the laud, carried on for years, ce used a partial exhaustion or that substance. Diseases a became prevalent, which were directly brought t about by the want or this acid for the proper ?, formation or boucs in animals. To supply the i desideratum bones were collected, ground and ? scattered on the fields, lae supply or bjnes rall- s ing, recourse was made to the bones or thc rallen t heroes or Waterloo. They were disinterred aud a restored to '.>* ?oil or O ld Eugh.ud. Again, such f, ls the demaut .or phosphoric acid that the man n of commerce actually invades thc silent tombs or i Egypt in his search for plant food. s l'OTAS?. 11 Thesalt mines of. Stuasfort, Prussia, afford ? yearly, said thc speaker, about two hundred f thousand tons or potash salts. The deposits ure h supposed to have been formed by thc evapora? tion or the waters or a soil abounding lu saline h efflorescences. A trip through the mines is a most delightful and instructive. When the vlsi- d tor passes through the long galleries aud cham- * bera, lit up by lamps aud torches or thc party, he o ls Instantly struck with the great beauty or thc d highly, colored strata. One sees thick deposits or P the red, yellow aud white chrystalllne masses, h lying one upon the cthet. all sparkling under thc 11 artificial light. Stassfurt, In 1300, was u poor, c dirty village, whose Inhabitants had no occupa- " Hon other than minding their Docks and herds, " and tilling thc worthless soil of thc neighborlig c country. To-day, many hundred men are em? ployed in the mines, and tn the twenty large I 0 busy factories which have been bum about the e visage. c HOW SOILS ARE FORMED. L Saki the speaker, all rock, whether volcanic or t secondary, exposed to thc influence or moisture, tl the variations or temperature, and the atmosphere o ic air, becomes gradually decomposed and ral!.-, to a pieces. The formatiou or soil by tho action of b ruuuing water is best-observed at the month of T rivers, where, owiag to the decreased strength ol h thc current, the particles wluch had been borne along with the stream arc deposited. Occasional- I t: ly, where the current or the river is sluggish, a | p large deposit or mud and clay is formed. Tins is remarkably the case lu the Nile, since our mod? ern times, the surface or lower Egypt has been raised from this cause at least six foci, and eight- I h cen foot since thc founding or Thebes. The roots | |i ?r the plant, searching arter food, often ?Ind their food locked up in a strong chemical combination. I )< The rootlet penetrates the apertures, sucks up | t what it can find tn an assimilable form, and gath? ering strength, attaches itself to Hie linn rock, tearing apart the chemical union. Direct experi? ment has shown that thc rootlet or a plant grow? ing In a solution deficient iu limccan, lu its search I alter calcareous food, attack and actually cat imo > a surface or polished marble. It is must likely t that the rootlets of the plant do secrete lu such cases fluids which can decompose eve i granite, | ?? uot tu mention limestone. ABSORPTION BT SOILS was next treated or. The lecturer stated that one n jr the most important properties or thc soils is o he capability ct absorbing ammoniacal vapors. 'n 3l?.y exposed to such vapors absorbed it: packs it ,| iway in itsltitcrstl ?es, where the ammonia enters b nto new chemical compounds. This property or f ibsorblng ammoniac il gaH is no special charac? teristic or clay; lt ls possessed by all porous oodles; for Instance, chr"coal. Further experl- | j; inents have shown that thc retentive property on the part or soils ls exercLsed aoA alune towards | (1 immonla, but also towards potash and phospho? ric acid. There arc two more lectures in the course; the [? subjects as follows: Exhaustion or Plant-Food by d the Crop, ami the means or Prevention; Commer? cial Fertilizers. , f A FIOHT BETWEEN TWO OFFICERS-A PISTOL I CSEU.-About Pi o'clock night b.-iorc last, omcer |f Hernandez, or the detective force, assaulted ami Bliot at Sergeant Recd, or the police force. Recd states that Hernandez came into the Guardhouse and asked to see Hie otHcor or the day. Heed rc Hised to allow him to du so without stating his business, he having received Instructions to that effect. Hernandez then tried to go up stairs and Recd stopped him. A scuttle then eusued, during which Hernandez shot at Reed, fortunately not hitting him. Hern?n ?e/. was Mit n locked up until yesterday morli ng, when in; Mayor turned the case over toa magistrate, and d?-mj>sed Hernan? dez from the detective force. In Memoriam. At the last regular monthly meeting of thc St. Patrick's Benevolent Society, the following tribute or respect and accompanying resolutions were read and unanimously adopted by the socie? ty, as expressing, however iuadequately, their appreciation aud high admiration or the lire and character of thc late Very Rev. RICHARD S. BAKER : A decree of thc Eternal God ls passed that all men shall die. This decree ls absolute; there is no means of evading its execution. By virtue ot this, Death goes fortli on his levelling mission, and visits, without discrimination, the palace or the king and the hovel or the beggar, the den or vice and Hie abode of virtue. The learned and the ignorant, thc wise and the roollsh, thc virtu? ous and the vicious, arc alike claimed as his prey. No place i3 secure against him. Even the Altar of God ls not exempt. Ile claims, by right ot his misslou, the consecrated minister whose dnty lt is to feed the lambs or thc fold with the flesh and blood or the Son or God. This truth ls brought home to us by thc death or | the Very Rev. RICHARD SULLIVAN BAKER, who died In this city on thc 30th or last January. Ow lng to thc absence or the president rrom our reg ular meetings, no action was taken by the society in this matter up to this late date. But even arter this lon i lapse or time, it is meet and proper that the society should endeavor to preserve his mem? ory, and give a brier summary of lils lire and la? bors for ful ure reference. Ile was born near Govesbridge, in the County Kilkenny, Ireland, on thc 24th of June, 180?, or j Protestant parents. His fa:her died when he was quite a child; and arter the lapse or a rcw years, he and his mother were received into the Catholic Church. The mother's training was visible In the course of Hie which he marked out ror himself, and which he steadily pursued till death overtook him. Ilia heart was Axed ou Cod's Altar, and his good mother spared nolhing that he might ncquir* a good classical education, and thus pre? pare himself to serve it. Her efforts were more than Seconded by her son and only child. He wai inoced a classical scJiolar. On the cv2 of his departure from thc We he loved so well, he applied to Bishop Doyle, who furnished him with a dismlssory letter and a special recommendation to Bishop England. He reached Charleston carly in the year 182T, ami ror two years studied in the Seminary or St John thc Baptist. On account of his talents aud great ca? pacity, he was ordained priest In 1829. In 1830 he was stationed Tor over a year on the mis? sion in Elstern North Carolina. He was then re? called, and placed over the Ecclesiastical Semi? nary as superior and prorcssor or philosophy and theology. So under his guidance and direction, nearly all the old priests or the Carolinas and Georgia completed their studies. Forty years ago the eagle-eye or the great Bishop England saw what the young priest was made or, and acted accordingly by placing him in the most honorable position in the diocese. For years he was lils vicar general and pastor or I the Cathedral; and in his last will, he appointed him ida administrator. From Bishop England's death to thc appointment or Bishop Reynolds. Dr. BAKER governed the diocese, which then comprised the two Carolinas and Georgia. In' 1S44 he visited lils native land, and, shortly arter his return In 1S4G, was appointed pastor or St. Mary's Church, in this eily, a position wilie l ll" held Tor nearly a quarter or a century, tm death claimed him on the 30th or last January. As a Nationalist, who more devoted to "Old Ireland" than he* Uli "heart untravelled always fondly turned" to that dear soil, bcueath which reposed thc bones or his parents and kindred. This reeling was known to lils fellow-country? men, and accordingly we find them extending to tim all thc honor and admiration they could be? llow. Thc old members of this society knew him veil. For years he was their president. They veil remember how his presence always cheered ind attracted them. It was like a sunbeam, dis? pelling all clouds, and causing pleading smiles nd cordial greetings to take the place of frowns ud angry debates. AS a writer, he was torse, pungent, sarcastic nd Intensely logical. Those who have liles of he Catholic Miscellany can judge or lils style by Duking over its cdltorlaU rrom 1836 to 1S50. luring that period, with the exception or two ears, he edited that sterling journal, In the nb etice or Bishop England, and after his death, ill thc above date, without any associate. Then, t his own urgent request, its charge was traus erred to another. What a ca \ui\*? that his aore noble productions should be lost to us ! luring the late war, when thc city was being helled, he consigned his manuscripts to the lame?, thinking that each succeeding moment rould be lils lost. Nothing now remains but a sw sketches, composed when he waa lu broken eal th and suffering from disease. .4s a Priest, "he shone in his days as thc morn ig star lu thc mids: ora cloud, and as thc moon t the rall. And as thc suu when lt shlncth, so ld he shine In thc Temple or God. When he rent up io thc Holy Altar, ho honored thc vesture r holiness." In olden times, thc regal and sneer otal characters were usually comblued. In lils crson this combination was perceptible. Who as ever seen him ministering at thc Holy Altar, dat was not struck with the majesty stamped on very lineament of his countenauce. Thc eye of lie beholder was withdrawn rrom every snrronud lg object, and Intently Axed on that noble and ommsnding ligurc. But when he was re?u and heard delivering one rills wonderful sermons, who caa describe thc fica product d? Kevt-r rrom Rome's Rostrum, ir rrom thc Berna or Athens, did a Clvero or a ?emosthents pour forth more polished mid enrap urlug torrents or eloquence, than did he rrom lie altars or St. Mary's and old St. Flnbar'fl. Not nly were tho most ?.literato or the audience, but Iso thc moat intelligent and enlightened, spell, '.und and entranced by his rapturous eloquence, he priests lu Hie sanctuary, and thc bishop on L> throne, listened with wonder and admiration a his sutnime conferences, in them might bc raced imagination or the highest order, rhetoric ecutiarly bis own, and logic ortho most tren? nant character. It may with truth be sald liat hia-serroons on the Church, on the Sacra futa, especially on t'<n%tua and the Holy Eucharist, w. r* tnaMerplecea, and the most com lete trealise ott tn^ reactive subjects that ould be produced. Whenever he handled a sub SCI, be exhausted lt; and bis audlcucc never ired or hearing Ulm. Whether the time con urned was ten mluutcs or two hours, the atten iou and anxiety depicted on their countenances rere the same. But lt was not only as a priest and orator that )r. BAKER was distinguished. He was greet In he goodness or his heart. To that heart the dis ressed never appealed in vain. The things ot his world, its honors. Its applause, Its weall li, ad no place In his affections. With his learning ind transcendent talents, he lived a poor mun nd died a poor man. thu-? following the example f his Divine Master, ?iud showing us what a talholic priest ought tu be. His study was his ouie. and his religion the all-absorbing subject r lils inediiatluu. ile was not a counter; his noughts were not lurued lo ecclesiastical prefer IMlt. Had they been, his greal ability, his won* erful ?rudition und matchless eloquence, com Ined with the purity anil simplicity or his lire, rould have placed him In thc highest position in lie American Church, lu his death we sec that A mighty spirit is eclipsed-a Power lath passed from day lo darkness-to whose hour if light no likeness is bequeathed-." We may ?ive on ror years, but lt la doubtful if re shall ever again see amongst us Iiis peer as a ricst nml orator; or among our fellow-cuuntry iicu one who will stand turill pre-eminent as lie id-the honor ami oruuinent or our rucc.

Thc Savannah Republican, in publishing these et tere, remarks: Bishop P?rsico was born In Italy, was consc irated Bishop or Agra, in India, about twenty-six ears ago. He remained In India sixteen years, milt a cathedral and established religious houses, he whole or which were destroyed during the kmoy mutiny,and lie was driven rrom his dlo esc. He brought a suit In the British House or 'ecrs against the East India Company for the lamages incurred by the destruction or the prop? erty or the Church, and recovered the sum or iltiety thousand pounds sterling. Huvlng been Irivcn rrom his See in India, he remained in Japles for eight years, and came to South Caro? ma about two years ago nt the earnest sollclta lon or Bishop Lynch, or Charleston, during which ?mc he has had charge of missions In that State.

FITZS! MONS.-Deparad this lire. In Hunts ville, Penn., January 23d, 1870, PRESTON B. FITZ SIMONS, son or Charles H. and Ellen Fltzslmons. Young in year3 your PRESTON was. But not too young to die. Childhood, in its Innocence and simplicity, un? changed in thc embrace or death, is, indeed, solem? nity person Hied; and when we behold Death hov crlnjr around our household treasure, the heart ltsoir sheds bitter tears when 'tis forced to realize the truth. 'Tis then the strong heart ls seen to shed the tear. Weep not, parents, bis soul has winged its night to God-to Heaven. Nor permit yourselves to grieve over the disappointment or not seeing him on earth, for he was ruby conscious or his approaching death, and his calmness was indeed verified lu his declarations. Angels he saw around his bed. and he welcomed thc hour that they should wart his restless soul to Christ. Nor oucstlon the doings or your God, for He docth all things well. Prepare to meet him In Heaven, and cancel the reality or his death with the consolation that he liveth with angels in a world where death ls never known, nor pain doth claim a part. You have a treasure In the form or an angel In heaven-a star decking thc Saviour's crown. Yes, he Ls gone ttlll, weep not, parents, "uti Is well;" by your Maker he was given, Though on earth he's lost to you. He's round with angels up In Heaven, L. E. H. Special Notices.

Fifty or sixty years ago, when thc accuracy ofa statement thai had appeared In one or thc gazettes or "News Letters" or the day was questioned, lt was cou sldcred a sufficient answer to all cavil to say, " It must be so, for I read lt In the newspaper." It ls not so now. Newspaper assertions must bc veil Oed before they are taken for granted, and this ls especially thc case as regards statements set ting forth thc remedial properties of proprietary medicines. For example: It was not until tho tonic and alterative properties of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS had been deliberately and thoroughly tested by thousands, and lound to bc In perfect accord with the printed claims put forth In Its behalf, that lt was accepted by thc public at large as a STANDARD REMEDY. But when multitudes who had resorted to lt as a safe? guard ugalnst malarious fevers, a cure fer Indi? gestion and biliousness, a means or strengthening the rrame, cheering the spirit and Imparting con? stitutional vigor, came forward and testified that its beneficial effects had exceeded their most san? guine expectations, of course thc world believed. To resist stielt proofs was Impossible. Great care has been taken from thc beginning" not to over? state the merits ortho Bitters. Exaggeration and bombast have been thc death or many prepara? tions that might otherwise have survived. They were "weighed In thc balance and fourni want? ing." HOSTETTBR'S BITTERS, on the contrary, have never been announced in grandiloquent language as a cure for every bodily ill, but simply as a pure, harmless vegetable specific, possessing remarkable Invigorating, regulating, anti bilious and antiseptic properties. This ls exactly what thc public know the medicine to be, and Its enor? mous sales Ls an argument In Its favor. apr8 6_ _ _ pS~k GRAND EPOCH IN SCIENCE.
