COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, Ajpril 4, 1889. Urliz'H Experimental *^*rna ^oflrnal. Mr. Georige A. Deitz has at Ojjpmbe?^? burg, in Pennsylvania, a^Sarge experimented farm, the cultivation of\b?ch hr/T)asc?r-' ried on for six years past. He has devoted himself to the. study of cereals and grasses, with a view to improving the quality of seeds, introducing new -varieties, ascertain? ing their adaptation to different soils and climates, and the modes of treating them by manure and tillage. He bas now issued tho first number o? a journal with the titlo which we have given at the head of this paragraph. It contains several interesting articles. There is an article on the ramio or Ubina grass, a new textile substance of great value, which might be cultivated in the Southern States. It is a sort of nettle, with a Abre of great strength, capable of very minute divinion. The periodical be? fore us says: "It has beou used extensively in making the beautiful and lustrous goods known ns Japaneso silk. Within two years past, several firms, especially Messrs. Wade & Son, of Bradford, England, and others, have succeeded by chemical means in bring? ing the fibre into a state most resembling the best mohair, or other bright worsted, and have worked up great qnautitios of tho refined material as a substitute for worsted in many kinds of stiff goods; always, how? ever, in combination with cotton-the warp being cotton and the weft ramie-as they have not yet been able to work it properly alone. The manufacture of worsted goods has become an immense trade, of which Bradford hos at present al most a monopoly, although tho manufacturo is extondiug into many parts of England. Most of these goods are of mixed material-that is, arc made with cotton warps. For articles re? quiring a stiff, strong and cool texture, com? bined with a glossy, silky appearance, it is found that the prepared ramio makes the very best material. "It is shown here that tho market value of this new fibre is very high, and that there is always a great demand for the raw material, and each year tho demand will increase. Here, then, isa great and rapidly increasing market for a certain vegetable production at a very high price. With our great bleaching prooesses and flax-breaking machinery, in which the ramie can be broken und bleached and propared in thc best stylo for shipment, it will pay Southern planters bettor than any special crop that they can miso. In the South, there aro vast tracts of couutry which are in the same latitude, and have nearly the same climate as those districts of China wherein the grass is native. We. should be able to grow this fibre to great nd vantage Why not, then, introduce its culture to as largo extent ns possible? Enterrisinpg plantersaud farmers throughout the South should give tb? plant their attention at once. The day is not distant when manufacturers in this country will tako hold of it to manufacture such worsted and mixed silk goods as arc manufactured in England. In the mean time there is a market in England for all wc crin conveniently grow, and planters cai experiment with tho need, having in viev the market price of tho raw material. Seve? ral experiments have been lately made ii some of tho-Southern States which demon strates that it can be grown as far North ai the Potomac River." -o WKAK?NINQ OK QUANT.-Tho New Yorl Herald is in the doldrums. Speaking o the President-General and the Senate, i says : "He hn.s a political army at his back larg enough to get him out of this wilderness, i he lins tho bruins to handle the force offeree to him. Tho prospects aro that, with these he may wrest the usurped power from th Senate. Should he fail to avuil himself o this opportunity and give tho Senate mor vantage ground, they will conquer, aud th next four years will give us political change such as we have shown ourselves powerles to resist." Hitherto, tho Herald has been copious i its praise of Grunt's brains and strategy Tho abovo extract looks liko doubt, hosit; lion and despair. Mit. EDITOR: I notice in your issue c yesterday that Master Ferdinand Corri wi give a concert ou Tuesday evening next, i Janney's Hull. I trust the littlo artist w: be cordially received, and that ho may 1 encouraged in his efforts by tho appreei tion of tho citizens of Columbia. Ho is violinist of wonderful ability, and is prob bly the finest of his ago in tho Unit States. I understand bo will play t "Witches' Dance," by Paganini, and thc who hovo a knowledge of music will satisfied by this alono that he is a violin of no ordinary attainment. Able musicin havo heard and criticised his playing, ai all havo concurred in pronouncing him genius. Mr. Koepper, our favorite prof sor, and others, will assist him, and I fi assured that all who patronize him will delighted with his entertainment. AMATEUR. -o Thc daily evening train out of Washii ton is now generally known as the "swo ing train," from tho numbor of homewa: bound office-seekers who, not being frier of the Grant family, and having neglecl to contribute to the gift enterprise, endear to relieve their disappointment and \ tedium of the forlorn journey by profon interchanges of profanity. Vki tt?w Tenure of O Ace Lin, ?The folio wing is the noir law: "Be ii*enacted, ?ic. That the*first and second sections of an Act entitled .'An Act regulating tho tonare of curtain civil offices, passed March 2, 1867, fte, and the same are hereby, repealed, and in lion of said repeal? ed sections, the fellowing are hereby on acted: ' "That every person'holding,any civil of? fice to which he has been, or hereafter may be, appointed by and with tho advice und consent of the Senate, and who shall have become duly qualified to act therein, shall be entitled to hold such office during the term for which he shall have been appointed, unless sooner romoved, by and with thc ad? vice and consent of tho Sonate, or bv tho appointment, with the Uko advice and cou? sent, of a successor in his place, except as herein otherwise provided. "SEO. 2. And be it further enacted. That during any recess of the Senate, the Presi? dent is hereby empowered, in his discrotiou, to suspend any civil officer appointed by and with the advice and cousent of the Se? nate, except Judges of the United States Courts, until tho end of the next session of tho Senate, and to designate some suitable person, subject to be removed, in his dis? crotiou, by the designation of another, to perform the duties of such suspended officer in the meantime; and such person HO designated shall tako the oaths and* give the bonds required by law to be taken and given by tho suspeuded officer, and shall, during tho time he performs his duties, be eutitled to the salary and emolnmouts of such officer suspended; and it shall bo the duty of thc President, within thirty days after tho commencement of every session of tho Senate, (except for any office which, in bis opinion, ought not to bo filled,) to nominate persons to fill all vacancies iu offices which existed at tho mooting of tho Senate, whether temporarily filled or not;; and also in the place of all officers sus- ! pended. And if the Senate, during such I session, shall refuse to advise aud consent to an appointment in the placo of any sus? pended officer, then, and not otherwise, tho President shall nominate another person, as soon as practicable, to said session of tho Senate for said office." This law is substantially a triumph for Geu. Grant. As the National Intelligencer says, "Practically, under this bill, the king gets his own again. Tho ill-gotten plunder is restored. The aristocratic body makes restitution, but it is all extorted; it is not a case of conscience, or tho graceful amende of gcutlemeu happy to repair a wrong. Wc hail what in substance a triumph for tho just bulauce and equipoise of the Constitu? tion. It is a great thing for the people to have a President again in tho country. He has had small power heretofore. Wo do not wonder that the leading Democrats of tho House aud some of the most respectable Republicans woro unwilling to accept this bill. It is not a fair, open, honest repeal of tho infamous tenure of office law, as the House first proposed and tho country had demanded and expected, lt is just such a tortuous, indirect, indecent contrivance as might bo expected from a sot of radical trickster lawyers, who had no regard for the Constitution; no concern for the public ser? vice, and no respect for public opinion. It is a mean, shabby way of repealing tho civil tenure bill-au ungraceful surrender by tho Senate of ill-gotten and ill-used power." Commenting on tho passage of the bill, the New York Herald says: "General Grant ought to veto this bill and tako his stand for a clean repeal of this tenure of office law. Now is the time to bring the two Houses to his own terms. Under tho yielding policy the moro he yields tho more they will demand; but by a simple veto of this bill, with his reasons tersely stated, he will ut once become mas? ter of the situation. We apprehend, how? ever, that his amiable disposition will pre? vail in this case, and thus give up a line opportunity to establish his positiou on the old ground for the sake of peace." DEATH or A VALUABLE CITIZEN*.-Mr. William Downs Byrd, au old and prominent citizen of this District, died nt his resi? dence, on tho Enoreo River, on Wednesday morning last, after a brief illness. Ho was ono of tho purest men that ever lived iu Laureus. Ho leaves a family aud mauy friends to mourn their loss. 1 Lanrensville Herald. "That Gough will Kill you!" Try ..tosTAll'S" Cough Remedy.

A3 6 -o BEA OT V.-How to secure a clear, smooth, beautiful, healthy skin, is the desiro of all, and this is within tho reach of all. The skiu becomes discolored, rough, eruptive, by the virulent, unhealthy condition of the excretions and insensible perspiration-that is, secreted by its functions, and expelled fhrer, gb its pures. Tho skin is one of the chief outlets for tho expulsion of the hu? mors or elements that the absorbent vessels reject, to nourish and sustain the blood; hence, these irritant humors poison the delicate skin, aud we have Pimples, Blotch? es, Sores, either simple or malignant, ac? cording to the condition of the perspiration aud humors secreted by tho skin. Now, tho application of cosmotics only hide these defects, and increase the irritant condition of tho skin. Use Heinitsh's Queon's De? light, and it will bo found a perfect remedy for these disorders. M24 DR. T. T.
