3. The meal allowed on fast days ii

.1. At that meal, if on any day per

of seasoning.
5. A small refreshment, commonl;
called collation, is allowed in th

By order of
fRT. REV. DR. LYNCH,
Bishop of Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. C., February ]
1868.
-? + ? ? ,
When the Pacific Railroad is co
pleted, a traveler may go uround i
world in three months.
The fact mentioned in tho report of
Mr. Banks upon the naturalization
law, that of our present 30,000,000 of
.white people, only 9,000,000 are de?
scendants from revolutionary stocks,
while 21,000,000 are new stocks en?
grafted upon tho colonial population,
induces the Norfolk Journal to sug?
gest that the physiological question
whether the European race is capa?
ble of maintaining itself permanent?
ly on this continent is not yet set?
tled. The rate of increase, however,
of the native population is as great
ns that of most European untions,
and greater than somo of them. In
France the population has not oven
doubled within a century and a half.
In England it has almost doubled
within a period of fifty years, and
in the United States it has been
nearly equal to the English increase.
In Upper Canada, the growth of
population, notwithstanding its ri?
gorous climate, has been moro rapid
than that of any country in Europe.
The exhausting -activity required in
the settlement of a new country may
wear out tho vitul forces moro rapidly
than in old and established commu?
nities, but we have seen no proof
that there aro physical causes pecu?
liar to America which render the
Anglo-Saxon race unable to maintain
itself without the aid of fresh blood
from the Europeau coutiueut. At
the same time, we do not dispute the
fact that without vlie additions from
emigration, the Uuited States would
Probably now be, as compared with
luropean powers, n sixth-rate coun?
try in populatiou.
PROGRESSIVE.-Last evening, that
excellently managed and uniformly
popular and indispensable establish?
ment, the Charleston Hotel, was the
scene of a large gathering of its
friends to pay tributo to the enter?
prise of its present superintendent,
Major Horbach, which has manifest?
ed itself in a thousand ways, but
most conspicuously ia the last few
days, by the provision he has mado
for the general illumination of the
front of the hotel. The excellent
band of the Fifth Uuited States In?
fantry was present, and contributed
in no measured way to the general
hilariousness which followed as a
consequence of the enterprise of
friend Horbach, and the manner in
which he permitted his friends to
celebrate it.-Charleston Courier.
THE WINTER IN CALIFORNIA.-A
letter from California says the pre?
sent winter has been by far the cold?
est and roughest experienced in that
State since lS61-'2, whoa all the val?
ley sections were desolated by floods.
This season, the levees of Sacramento
have stood the test, and that sadly
afflicted city has not been deluged,
but the entire valley country, from
one end of the State to the other, has
been flooded, and the loss is im?
mense, lu Yalo County, opposite
Sacramento, orchards, worth as high
as 850,000 to $75,000 each, havo been
utterly ruined by the floods, which
have swept over them and covered
them with wood, clay and coarse
gravel, washed down from tho moun?
tains.
A lady from Georgia was recently
in New Albany. 1 adinna, looking in
vain for her daughter. She, poor
woman, was tho widow of a Georgia
State Senator, who was a fierce se
cessiouist, and gave nearly all his
property, about 085,000, to the Con?
federacy. He then enlisted in the
rebel army, and was killed at the
first battle of Bull Run. Her four
sons were all killed while fighting in
the rebel service. One of her daugh?
ters died from grief for their loss,
aud the one for whom the mother hus
been looking was sent North by Gen.
Sherman, for having noted as a rebel
spy when his troops wore near her
mottler's plantation. The soldiers
also burned all tho buildings and
fences on the place.
? An Indiana Judge disposed of a
couple at Lafayette recently, by send?
ing the husband to tho ?penitentiary
and marrying the remaiuder.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE pubrJo CBteem in which PANK
NIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS aro held, is
nnother proof of their excellence as a
Tonic. They aro recommended by phy?i- i
ciaos generally, and havo never disap- |
pointed those who have made ase of them. !
They give suro and speedy relief in nausea,
Bick headache, dyspepsia and all similar j
complaints. For sale by all druggists. i

UK. A ii I\ MIND-When disease has [
undermined tho health, and tho physical
? yt bi>i ' haB become prostrated, a etimu
lat. ?ha will not only strengthen, but re- j
move mo cause, should bo immediately
resorted to. Mental distress is also a
fruitful source of tho breaking down of the
constitution, and the ravages of this enemy
to health aro truly alarming. For all such
maladies HOSTETTKR'S STOMACH BIT?
TERS have been found unsurpassed. By
acting directly upon the digestivo organs,
they remove the heavy, disagreeable feel?
ing after eating, BO often complained of by
persons of a dolicate temperament. As j
Hoon as digestion is restored, tho patient ?
linds his strength increasing and his gc- j
ncral health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may
ba relied on in all oaaea of weakness or j
nervous debility attendant upon sedentary
babita. Tho generality of Bitters aro BO
disagreeable to tho tasto that they arc
objectionable to a weak stomach. This is
not tho case with Hostctter's Bitters,
which will be found mild and extremely
pleasant. Balsamio plants, barka and
roots con tribut ti their restorative juices to
render it soothing and strengthening.
Its basis is the only pure stimulant which
has ever been produced con taming no fusil
oil, or any other deleterious element. Tho
most careful and skillful chemists have
analyzed the Bitters, and pronounce them
harmless. This is scientific testimony:
but the testimony of the hundreds of
thousands who have experienced the pre?
ventivo and curativo effects of the great
vegetable tonic and alterative of modem
times is still more conclusive. In Fever
and Aguo, Dyspepsia, Billiousnoss, Ner?
vous Complaints, Chronio Complaints and
goneral debility, it is aa noarly infallible as
anything in this falliblo world can bo.
