On one 01 them was Inscribed the words: "I have lett a monument more enduring than brass." And to strictly carry out the Injunctions in the great novelist's will, the tomb now bears, in letters of brass sunk la. the stone, the words: -Ch?ties Dickens, born February 7,1S12; died J une .9, lipO." -Sa. method of making bread from whole-wheat, without previously grinding lt Into Hour, has been devised by a Frenchman named Sezllle. The gram Is first soaked in water fir hair an hour; then put into a revolving cylinder with a rou?h inside surface, and sliakcn up, so as to remove the coarser part ot the skin; and then soaked twenty or twenty-four hours more In water or the temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, with which a little yeast and glucose has been mingled. By these-meana .thc groja acquires a pasty, doughy consistence, ?mi caa bo mixed np by machinery and made Into"bread tn the usual way. The In? vention ls an Important one, both from its saving the expeise or grinding, and from tho greater economy or keeping and transporting thc whole grain Instead of dour. '.-An |h)B raflroad: tiejias recently- beert fnven tg^?rhfbbjpt jjMrgae?, is actually cheaper thaji the wooden cross ties now Ia use". The wooden ties, It is stated, cost about 70 cents each, and must be replaced every three or tour year3x while the iron tie, costing S3, when protected'from cor? rosion by a coating of coal tar, will never wear out Themqst useful point of thc Invention is tJie method ol affixing tte rall. A hair chair ls cast on the tie, and the cher half, composed of wrought iron, ts held In place by'a wrought iron key. ?j Th? rall rests ?pon a grubber;cushion four inchekthick ami dre'Inches-lu; leugtv-, which is prote^edjby a tightly fitting Jlrou cap one-eighth, of an Inch thick, lt ls claimed that thc rubber cushions will keep the ends of thc rails from being beaten down, and will, by preventiug con? cussion, save the rolling stock and a low the trains to glide smoothly and rapidly along the track. / _-The flrst^pnbllcatlon. or Gortschakotrs de mands?provoked Indignant growls from the Bri tish lion, speaking throngh the press, and the Times unhesitatingly declared that England would never consent to an abrogation or the treaty of Paris. It says : "Wc were sureties, not principa s, in the transaction, and If Turkey insists upon holding thc Emperor bound to ob? serve the stipulations to which he agreed, we shall not be able to forget our own obligations as parties to the settlement." The Standard deemed the note an Insult to England, aud declared that the Russian Government had not given the Bri tish nation thc chance of yielding with any show of honor. The Pall Mall Gazette boldly asserted that "the retraction of the Russian circular should be demanded under penalty of Immediate war," and any neglecter refusal should be ground for Instant hostilities'. It assumed an under standing between Russia and i'nissla, and declar ed that Prussia might do Inestimable service to Russia by merely prolonging the negotiations, un til the capture or Parts should leave her army free for active operations. Then England and Tur key, with perhaps ? little help from Italy, would have to make head against the two greatest mill tary powers' In the world. -That olit-tlme lottery, tnown as the New York Tontine Fund, ls about to close up, and thc large property to bedlvlde-.l among the surviving mern bers, whose number has now been reduced to seven. The history or tbls association begins eighty years back, when two hundred and three subscribers contributed $:oo each to a common fund for investment, each member nominating some child on whose lifo he bet, retaining an In? terest only as long as the nominee survived, wit h the agreement tliat, when t he nuailicr was reduced to seven, thc entire property and Its accumulations were to be divided among thc sur? vivors. The old Tontine Cuifeehousi, famous in the annals of New York, was erected out or this fund; but four y*ars ago this was taken down and a much more raluable building put up in lt's place. Attire commencement of the curren t year, ten shareholders, or th'lr nominees, re? mained. Of these. Julian C. Verplanet and Geo. Paxton Rogers died in thc spring, reduciug the number to eight, and causing much speculation as-tathe. next Tue culmination took place In the death of John P. DeWint, at Fishkill, which leaves the property or -everal hundrel thousand dollars to be at length divided. Thc Interest In this occurrence ls .somewhat lessen'd by the tact that the shares have been mostly bought up and are now in only two or three hands. -? Berlin correspondent or the Chicago Tri? bune writes: "lt ls amusing to get among a squad, of soldiers, as one sometimes finds them in the hospitals, and hear the diff?rence and often confusion In th?lr language. Many cannot un? derstand; each other at all, especially of those living m widely-separated rtrral districts. The people ct the 'cities^ and the educated classes sP.ea?*h.? same language .everywhere, yet even -ainong tiiese a Munich soldier nses wo-ds that a Berungei; never heard. The Hamburgers arc ac? cused ?fspcaklng flat, the Saxons or singing, the East Provinces or a Polish, and the P.alz ora Trench accent, and so on, each thinking that he speaks the correct German, and being surprised that other's Bpeak differently. Germany ol" .fers a very Babj?? la Us languages. Thia war ts having^'he .good effect-the op. posite of that okfhe Babel scattering-of bring? ing the people together'and working a unity in their manners' and views. The unity of Germany would hardly be possible without some ;such pre? vious unity or the people. We experienced some good from this .source tn our war, in breaking down sectional and sectarian differences; but here there is much more need or lt, there being more differences ia the customs wlthlu fifty square miles than one will find between thc At? lantic and thc Mlssis-ippi. Among the French the difference is perhaps still greater, as the pris? oners abundantly illustrate. Both French ana Germans speak or the "literary'' language (I. e., the grammatical) as quite distinct from thc con? versational." -Various rumors have from time to lime circu? lated of unpleasant relations between M. de Cata cazy, Ru sian Minister, and our State Department, but lt remained mr thc Washington correspon? dent of thc New York Tribune to give them defi? nite expression and explanation. He states that as a response to the former's evident uneasiness regarding this mysterious subject, or perhaps Tor so ne other reason, he was partly ignored last winter In the social relations required by the con? ventionalities or diplomacy, as was Madame Cata cazy, a briliant and accomplished lady. Their absence rrom thc diplomatic dinners at the White House finally became the subject of newspaper gossip, the result or which was a special invita? tion, which both Monsieur and Madame Catacazy promptly accepted, and they were again to all appearances In full favor. But the unpleasantness rankled, and was Increased, when ihree months ago lt became necessary ror M. Catacazy to sound our government on its position In the event or Rus? sia's demanding a revision or the Treaty of Paris, then secret. This he did In the customary diplo? matic fashion, and received little satisfaction. He forthwith Informed lils government that the United States would lot take advantage ora war between England and Russia to bring about a settlement of tho Alabama claims, but would probably act towards both those powers as she ls at present acting towards Prussia andFrir.ee. This disappointed Gortschakoff, who directed M. Catacazy to use his utmost endeavor to gain a more definite and favorable expression from our government. Thc attempt to do so failed, and ,M- Catacazy very naturafty felt slightly aggriev? ed, and gave evidence of lt by omitting tempo? rarily his customary official calls on Secretary Fish. The blowing over of the war cloud has naturally restored harmony. 1'avtU With Good. Intentions. A torrid zone, not of this earth, who9e name is unmentionable to ears polite, is popularly said to be paved with good inten? tions; and it is not to be doubted that the empirics in the General Assembly of the State aro Arm believers in their own won? drous nostrums. They are bent on building up a terrestial Paradise, if legislation will do it, and may soon set about making nil men " health}-, wealthy and wise," by a statute as voluminous as the code of procedure, and as luminous as thc origi? nal tax-bill. The legislative enthusiasts appear to forget, if they ever knew, that there are some evils which even an act of the General Assembly cannot cure. Water will not flow up-hill, whatever the laws of South Carolina may say upon the eubject. There are forces and principles of action which no legislation can control, and it is, perhaps, just as well that our Columbia law-givers should convince themselves of this fact with the lea3t possible delny. The only trouble is, that the public patient may die of inanition while the members of the General Assembly are cutting their wisdom teeth. South Carolina is a great State, we admit, but trade and commerce in South Carolina are governed by the identical law3 which govern the transactions of England, Germany, France, apd other petty-powers. The South Carolina Legislature is a won? derful body, we confess, but its wisdom and knowledge are.not so great that it can allord to pooh! pooh! the practical deductions which Europe has drawn from centuries of experience and thought. And if our hon? orable law-makers and law-breakers would Dnly take n wider range and look beyond the borders of thi3 State, wo should not ho troubled with llie schemes of Mr. Goodson, who has introduced a bili to regulate the percentage of profit which may be charged upon certain commodities. The object of this bill is, of course, to prevent extortion, and to keep down llie market price of articles of necessity. No dealer is to realize moro than a fixed profit, and thc poor are to obtain what they need at the lowest possible ligure. The presump? tion is that the articles in question are now too dear: if they are not, there is no room for legislation. This is plain enough, mid we may now go a step farther, and ascertain the manner ol' fixing ihe prices of which irunplnint is made. When a shop keeper buys an invoice of ?joods he adds to its actual cost a certain sum which, in hi3 judgment, will cover the expenses of his busiuess, and leave him, be? sides, a fair compensation for his own labor iud for the capital employer! Rent, insur? ance, wages, fuel, deterioration of stock, jud debts, ure all taken into account, and ire represented by the dillerence between :he actual co3t or the article, to the shop? keeper, and the price at which it is sold. We have only allowed the shop-keeper, be it )bserved, a fair and moderate compensu ion for hi3 own work'and the use of his sapitaL Even Mr. Goodson cannot carp at ,hi3. That perspicacious member does not ?vish shop-keepers to do business at a loss ind live on the profit. Extortion is to be Rrevented; fuir prolits are to be allowed. If there were only one store in South Car? llina at which dry goods could be bought; in ither words, if one man or firm had the nouopoly'of tho trade in longcloths and sheetings, the fortunate merchant would lie empted to charg? au exorbitant price, ami in act of tlieGene^al Assembly might be re [uirod to keep L?8>froni growing rich willi .he rapidity "of "is Etrdtcal politician. 'But here is no rftdnopoly of dry goods. Ail nen .are-J^-ib^Bell them. There is au ac? ive competition and there is no extortion. iVhy '.' Because those who waut dry goods rill buy them of the house which cuts down 13 profits to the lowest point. This, in gen ral terms, causes all the houses in the trude o sell their goods at about the saine rate; rtiich i3 the actual C03t with tho additiou of fair profit, or "a margin," as it is called j legislative circles. But all the dry-goods Doses might enter into a horrid conspiracy ?raisa prices nnd fleece the public. Grant? ed Birt, in that case, consumers would ither obtain their goods directly from the Northern markets, or some enterprising lerchant, out of the Bing, would open a ew establishment, sell at fair rates and do ll the business, unless the Bing abandoned jeir fell design and came down to his level, 'his makes it clear to the perception of innkind in general that, where there ia no jj lonopoly, the desire of shop-keepers to atch cusiomers, and the anxiety of custom- ; ere to boy at the lowest possible price/may. be relied on as ? sure'preventive of what is j known as extortion. It is the old story of ] supply and demand over again. The framer of the Profit bill may be of opinion that merchants and shop-keepers do not know what it C03(.s them to carry on their business and what is a fair profit. They think they do ^ and competition forces them to sell as cheaply as they can. Now if the Legislature pass a law requiring them to accept a less rate of profit-that is. a lower price-they must do one of two thing either make up by short weight, or short meas-tre, for the difference in price, or else give up business altogether. The enforce? ment of the law, if that were possible, would require them, if they remained in business, to make up in one way what they lost io another. The public, would io no wise be benefited. It ought, then, to be evident that the Profii bill, if it leaves profits at their present rates, will gn-e the public no more than they have already. And it should be equally evi? dent that no legislation can force intelli gent men to do business at a loss. This, if it is expected to accomplish anything, is the plain English of the Profit bill. May it rest in peace. "Amnesty in Earnest." The New York Tribune interprets the| speech of ex-Governor Vance, at Raleigh, as meaning that be will go before the United States Senate in an attitude of defiance, making a'boast of his participation in "the "rebellion*'and assuming that his election a3 senator is due to his activity in endeavor? ing to destroy the government. The politi? cal disabilities of Governor Vance have not been removed, yet "he makes no profession "of allegiance to the nation in whose chief "council he aspires to sit," and insists upon justification without repentance or faith. This outspoken honesty touches Mr. Gree? ley's heart, and the Tribune very properly declares that nothing is to be gained by re? jecting the senator elect. It takes the sen? sible view that the rejection of Governor Vaneo would not effect a change in the minds or hearts of his adherents, and if another were elected in his place there might be, the Tribune thinks, a loss "in "candor and honesty'' greater than the gain "in apparent loyalty." The Tribune, therefore, saya: "While Governor Vance's "opinions and principles are as bad as possi? ble, in an abstract point of view, his prac "tical application of them is altogether "praiseworthy. Ile denounces proscription "and retaliation with commendable vigor. .'He declares that every law, both State and "National, should be obeyed and respected "by all. He ?3 an houest, courageous, hard? headed mau, with good intentions and im? perfect lights. We believe that such a man "in the Sonate can do more good than harm, "and it might be difficult to find any one "who would more adequately represent the "the average intelligence and conscience of "his State." We Only wish that the Republicans, as : party, could understand, as the Tribune evi? dently does, that the straightforward oppo? sition of a true Southern mau is far less dan? gerous to them than the oily rascality of the whitcued sepulchres who now profess to rep? resent the. intelligence and wealth of the South. WE print in another column an admirable article from the Now York Bulletin, show? ing the causes of the depression of Southern credit, and pohuiug out the ouly means by which that credit can be restored. It will be noticed that thc writer of the article, without mentioning names, exposes some of the transactions which, when laid bare in the late canvass, were declared to bc both muliciousaand untrue.
