ENGLISH BOOKS.-Mr. Samuel Fogartie has
received at his Book Repository, in the bend of
King street, a large consignment of the publica?
tions of Virtue A Forston, or London, of whom he
is the sole Southern agent. This is said to be the
largest importation or English books made since
the war, and covers works or great excellence la
ar:, science, and general literature.
FTST TIME ON TUE CONGARSB COURSE.-Mr.
Whitaker, or Torkvillc, ran his brown gelding tu
Columbia, on Tuesday, against a Jersey stallion
belonging to Mr. Jones, or New York, tor a purse
of ?j00. The race was a quarter mile dash, which
the gelding made without effort in twenty-three
and a half seconds. The betting was shy, the re?
putation or the stallion as a running horse being
well known.

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."
UNITED STATES COURT-HON. GEORGE S.

In thc case of Tl'omas A. McCreery, of New
York, vs. A. E. Yarn, the jury found tot the
defendant. ,
TUE GERMAN SHOO FLT.-Hans Breitmann
seems to have written a travesty on "Excelsior,"
by which the rapidly fading Sho-) Fly is for a few
brief hours galvanized into new life. The flrst
two stanzas run tu this way:
Der etenlng clouds was scddllng ra3d,
Arfu young mun drough der lil'agc basscd,
sh kadi ng along mid der shdorm and hall,
Mit dose vords tied on lils coad dall:
"Shoo, dy."
~'Oh '. don'd go such a night like dose,"
Ills mudder gries. "You wUI got Roze;
.Dot John Frosd dot will nip your car."
He only said so mit a shneer:
"Shoo, fly."
Then the old man and the young maid tell him
?to stop, but
Higher und higher that young man vent,
For the shdorms he dond not care a cent,
As he vlpetl dat shnow off his lefd ear,
Dem vords vas herd sdill shdrong und g'ear
"Shoo, fly."

"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.

"Soil*,
their Origin, Physical
Chemical Properties."
The second of inc course of lectures by I r
fessor Charles U. 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.

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?

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

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.
Ilshop P?rsico is a fluent and eloquent preacher,

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,

HOW THE PEOPLE TEST THEIR TRUTH.-This
ls not an age when people believe on trust what?
ever they sec In thc public Journals. 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.
