SEWS OE THE DAY. _"Owing to ^;he- peculiar arrangement ol the programme, no piece can be repeated,'? was the answer Mr. White received from his landlady (with whom he boarded) upon asking for a second piece of pie at dlnr.er. -The London Medical Times and Gazette, July 29, contains the following: "The fash? ionable physician of Cairo, Egypt, ThomaB Monroe, was a slave, and ran away from his proprietor at Charleston. South Carolina, ^ twelve years ago." ^ -Bismarck has refused Hie request of several North German Governments to issue an order prohibiting the sales of certain Ger? man-American newspapers in the German Empire, saying "that would only Increase their circulation In this country tenfold." -The defeat of France by Germany was not such a bad thing for.the former nat?o i after all, if one of the results ls to be, as now ap? pears probable, the genet al education ol the youth of both sexes m that country, where heretofore, In the rural districts, the number of educated persons was astonishingly small, and a man, other than the curate and doctor, who could read, write and cypher, was a phe? nomenal being In some hamlets. -The grandest marriage which has, oe. J curred In London for many yetta was that of I Miss Fox, the adopted daughte r of Lady Hoi-1 land, who was joined to the Prince Aloys Liechtenstein recently. It was almost as ' brilliant as a royal wedding, and quite threw the Marquis of Bute's marriage In the shade. Archbishop Manning officiated on both these occasions. Absolutely the whole fashionable world of London 1 as present on the day of I Miss Fox's.marriage, either ia the cathedral or at the breakfast, or at the garden party al-1 terward. j -A correspondent of a Yiena paper recently saw the ex-Prince Imperial of France at Chis- j el hurst, and gives the following description of I him: "An overgrown boy with a pleasant face, dreamy but meaningless eyes, manners not very graceful, and a smile which "reminds you of that cold, freezing smile which his father, the ex-Emperor, would put on when I he wanted to make himself amiable. The Prince's forehead ls low, and shows that his Intellectual capacity cannot be very great. His teachers are said to be very much dissatisfied with the slow progress he makes in his stud-1 -The far West ls becoming populated with j a rapidity that is truly marvellous. The ad vantages offered to settlers upon railroad j grants; the liberal terms upon which govern ment lands can be acquired; the fertility of a virgin soil; the fixed belief in a steady west-1 ward march of population; the certainty that the best wheat producing area of the United States has already crossed the Mississippi, and the unvarying tendency of American emigra- i tlon to keep a considerable distance ahead of civilization, have? all tended, and are still I tending, to affect such a settlement. The rail? roads are now forming great arteries, with In numerable branching veins, through all this region. There will be before many years pass I away no fertile valley from Omaha to Califor? nia, and from the Yellowstone River to the Rio Grande, that will not support its little community, or cluster of communities, of pio? neers; and the gap ot comparatively unknown country betweln the Eastern and Pacific I States will be no longer In existence. -At one of the Parisian concei t saloons is a Chinese walter, who dresses in tue European fashion, wearing his pigtail colled round bis head. He speaks French tolerably well and excites much curiosity on account of his Btrange history. He was formerly in the ser? vice of the Empress o? China, who had con? fided to him the charge of a certain fan. repre? senting the Imperial dragon, worked In green upon a yellow field. This fan was a sacred affair, and descended from the late Emperor, and the Empress Intended to deliver lt to her son upon the day of his marriage. Unhappily, Tsang one day broke the ian, and was con dem ned, in consequence, to decapitation. Being a person of Ingenuity, however, Tsang managed to extricate himself from his di- j lemma by seizing the throat of his Intended executioner,before that functionary had drawn I hiB sword, and thus strangled him. As there was no witness to this affair, he dressed him? self in the extinct executioner's attire, escaped without suspicion, and embarked upon a French steamer which was about leaving port. -A French correspondent gives an inside view of the princely , and at the same time homely bazaar Bystem ol France, which, since the resurrection of trade, from ita temporary j prostration after the war, has become more I complete than ever. As a specimen, and one of the best of them, the Magasin Bon Marche, I in Paris, ls selected, which does a LuBiness of j about six million dollars in gross receipts a j year. Though nominally one and under the same proprietorship, the establishment ia divided Into twenty-two shops, each of which is entirely Independent of ihe others. The braiding covers four thousand square yards, and ls five stories high. Less than twenty j years agc a small draper's shop stood upon the site, and from that thlB has sprung. The ar rangement for the comfort ot employees is remarkable. About ninety girls are connected with the trade, who are required for strict sur? veillance to lodge on the premises. Large, well ventilated and well furnished bed-rooms are provided for them, and an elegant draw? ing-room, with piano, pictures, games, and all that luxurious comfort requires, is common property. A dining-room for the whole seven or eight Hundred employees is attached, with excellent tare, and hair-dressing and billiard rooms are connected with lt. The salaries allowed these clerks are small, but they are J allowed a percentage on all they sell, and per- j sons! attractions In that case counting for so much, the young ladies may be supposed to have an advantage over their male compet?- J tors. -The numerous Juggling tricks with mol? ten iron are, on the authority ol the Engineer- j lng and Mining Journal, not so difficult or I wonderful af 1er all. The necessary immunity is secured by simply keeping cool, not physi? cally, but mentally. The hand is to be Im? mersed confidently, aiul then quickly and qui? etly withdrawn, and a pleasant sensation ol cold will be felt. On? learned French proles sor attributes Hie miracle of the llery furnace to a knowledge of the more obscure laws of calorics, which ls only another instance of the notorlons fad that some French scientists will believe anything as narrated-Old Wives' Fables, Mother Goose's Stories, Gulliver's Travels-provided lt is not recorded In the Bible. There are many curious Inci? dents given by the Journal of the handling of fluid metal. Professor Rose stated that thirty years ago, during a visit in a metallurgical establishment iu Avestad, Sweden, he Baw a workman who, for a small remuneration, threw molten copper against a wall, which he skimmed on" from a crucible with his hand. Dumas called attention to a very old usage, ordinarily performed in glass-works. A mol? ten mass of glass ls poured into a vessel filled with water, In which, although glowing, ?tie kneaded with both hands. Professor Boutigl ny produced ?celo a while glowing furnace, and claimed to have bathed himself In fluid Iron. It will be remembered, also, that about a year ago Maryland had wltln Its borders a colored blacksmith who did many extraordi? nary things with red hot iron. Read the Newspapers Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken delivered an agricultural address in Winnsboro', on the 4th of July, in which he told his audience some home truths about the causes of the poverty of the agriculturists of the Stata Amongst other things, as reported by the Winnsboro' Netes, he said: "About the beglnulng of the present year, he was commissioned by the State Agricultu? ral Society to canvass the State In the interesls of the society, and of agriculture generally, but as yet had received little or no encourage? ment In his labors, although he had been travelling four months, and had visited nine count ?es In the State. There seemed to be a feeling of unrest and disquiet wherever he had been, which operated very strongly against any Improvement in the general character of the country, and the universal cry appeared to be poverty. The question naturally arises, why are our people BO poor. There are cer? tainly assignable reasons for it, and amongst these might be first mentioned Ignorance or lack of intelligence among the laboring classes. The benefits and advantages of a liberal education are not properly appreciated by the viasses. His experience and observation was that (litre roas more ignorance generally in South Carolina than in any other State he had travelled through. He knew of farmers In Ibis county, running four or five ploughs, ic ho don't knoio the name of the county newspaper, or the fact of there being a paper published in the county. In his efforts to secure subscrip? tions for agricultural papers, the Invariable reply was, 'I am no book farmer,' when the truth of the whole matter is that the man who doesn't study agriculture as a science is a veritable 'old fogy.' Many persons read agri? cultural works, but not with a view to ?the benefit to be derived from them, and the great difficulty in the way of agriculture succeeding under our present system ls that our people don't think of it, don't study lt, don't read about it as a science, and can't bring them? selves to realize that lt is a science, bntll they awake to shah reality, they will always be poor, and can never make farming a suc? cessful and remunerative calling." These remarks do not apply wkh full force to the low-country, but we believe them to be trna as a general proposition. IHipra ic mn <*<<?t>?' that)', txa rompureu With the rest of the Union, the number of .-s paper readers in South (parolina is lamenta? bly small. The population of the State- is 705,000, and there are six daily newspapers, three in Charleston and three in Colombia. It is not the mere number of the news? papers, however, that we object to. A paper like THE NEWS can just as well supply twenty thonsand copies u day as ten thou? sand. The truth is, that the people do not read, as they should, the newspapers which are published. This is the cause of infinite loss to tho Slate. Tho newspaper is the in? structor of the day; it is more potent than pedagogue or professor. Unless he read a live newspaper no citizen can properly dis? charge his duties towards his family and to? wards the State. A wise man wonld as soon shot out the light of day as deprive himself of his newspaper. The delays and difficulties of the mails have doubtless much to do with the slow spread of newspaper in? fluence; the small means of the whites and the ignorance of the blacks must also be taken into account But much more could be done than is doue; and we advise every citizen af the State, who knows by experi? ence what is the value of a newspaper in quickening the faculties and ripening the brain, to set to work at once and persuade his neighbor to subscribe to one of the ex? cellent papers published in this State. When men read newspapers freely, they rise above personal and class dictation and think and act for themselves. The frauds of the Ring would have been impossible If the blacks had conned the colums of the press; the po? litical and industrial progress of the State would have been ten-fold what it is if every white adult regularly read a bright, liberal newspaper. Not for James ! James, the temarkable Broker-Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, who recently bad the cheek to nominate himself for Governor of Georgia, finding that the Democratic Con? vention lacked appreciation of his states? manship and financial acumen, has sensibly withdrawn from tba contest. The Celt to the Rescue! The leaven of the great national move? ment for ReiOrm ' slowly but steadily per meating the unsavory cauldron of our State politics. Speaking of the approaching Charleston County Republican Convention, that right loyal sheet, the Southern Celt, says: "We trust that no man wtll be sent to the convention as a delegate who is not opposed to the corrupt Ring that has brought Republican? ism into contempt In this State. We want men In the convention who are proof against bribery and temptation, and who will do their duty honestly and fearlessly." To all of which we, nn-Republicau out? siders, devoutly say, Arnon ! The Highways and Bridges Tax. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. In referring In your Issue, of this day, to a correspondent of the Columbia Carolinian, who Informed that paper that a tax of eighteen cents on the hundred dollars for roads is in course of collection In Lancaster County, you say, "Such a tax, for repairing highways and bridges, is expressly authorized by the act of March 9,1871, the tax being payable In money or labor at the option ol the taxpayer." So it la; but you overlook the fact that that portion of the act of 1871 has been repealed hythe act. of March 13th, 1872. The portion or the act of 1871, which author? izes the road tax, ls coulalued in Section 2, and ia in these words : "That, for the purpose ol keeping in repair highways and bridges, the county commission? ers of each county shall, on or previous to the 1st day of January, assess a tax ol eighteen cents, if so much be necessary, ou every hun? dred dollars ot the lists of the county, to be paid In money or labor, at the option of the taxpayer, and laid out in repairing highways and bridges; and they shall, annually, on or belore the said 1st day of January, make out a tax bill for each surveyor of highways, con? taining the amount ol the tax to be laid out by him lu his district, with the amount of each person's tax annexed to his name, accompa? nied by a warrant, signed by the chairman of the board, authorizing such surveyor to collect such lax; and they shall deliver' the several tax bills to the respective surveyors and take their receipts for the same." Now the act of 1872, in its first section, pro? vides "that section 2 .ol said act (the act o? 1871 above quoted) be so amended as to read : 'That the bridges be repaired under the super? vision ft the county commissioners, and that | the expense of the same be paid out of any moneys in the county treasury; and that all the work on said bridges given out by the county commissioners, when the amount shall exceed the sum of one hundred dollars, shall be done by contract, and the commissioners are hereby required to advertise the same In at least one of the papers of the county; that said proposal shall, In all cases, be accompa- ? cied by two or more sufficient sureties, and the county commissioners shall have the right to reject any or all bids If In their Judgment the Interest of the county so require.' " And section 3 provides : "All acts or pa?tsoi' acls Inconsistent with this act are hereby re? pealed." Now, can section 2 ol the act of 1871 still be the law now In force lu connection with the act of 1872, as above quoted ? It will be ob? Ben ?d that the act of 1872 does not say that 'The act of 1871 shall have the iollcwing lan? guage added to section 2,'' but ItEays that "Section 2 sliall be so amended as to read as \ folloios." And then In connection with this the third section provides that all parts of acts inconsistent are repealed. The original sec? tion 2 ls unquestionably Inconsistent with the amended section 2, and hence the former ls repealed. And there ls, therefore, no authority to levy, or if levied, no authority to collect, a road tax. A SUBSCRIBER. Klngstree, 8. C., July 22,1872. [Our correspondent apparently overlooks the fact that the Act of March, 1872, in abolishing the office of Highway Surveyors, confers the duties of the same upon the j County Commissioners. One of the duties Of the Highway Surveyors was to assess a | tax of eighteen cents on every hundred dol? lars, for the purpose of keeping in repair the highways and bridges. This assessment must now be made by the County Commis? sioners. That such a tax is still expected to be levied and paid is evident from the pro? viso to the Act of 1872, which reads: "Pro "vided, further, that all taxes levied for "ike repair of high ways and bridges in each 'county shall be collected and paid, at the 'same time as the general taxes, to the "County Treasurers." The public have now before them both sides of the question, and can judge for themselves, utitil there is an authoritative decision updo, the subject.] "By- Their Fruits," Atc. (From the Clarendon Press.] By the works of the Radical Reformers we will know them, and If there is any portion ot them who do In honesty and ejncerlty desire, ' and are willing to work for, the Inauguration of a better slate of things-who are willing when they spell pray to allow the old time used ?nd honored "a" to remain In the word, Instead of substituting an "e"-then it ls our manifest duty, as Democrats, to extend to them all the did, comfort and sympathy in our power to give. It is hard for us who have been the sufferers to believe lt, but still there may be some good men among tl: jarpet bag?ers who have fastened upon poor .South Carolina, and to such we are willing to extend "the right hand of fellowship'7 and assist In the good work of rescuing our State from Hie official robberies she has suffered. Let the Republicans tn favor of honeBty and Integrity lu the administration of State interests organize their campaign based upon that idea, and the white element will be, where it ls ever found, on the side ol honesty, reform and the greatest, good to Hie greatest number. .Sommer ffieeorte.
