WASHINGTON, December 15.-In the Sonate, a resolution was offered, author? ising Delano to offer a reward for parties making assaults on revenuo officers. A resolution for adjournment from tho 22d to.the 5tb, was concurred in. Internal revenue receipts to-day S125, 000. Sumner presented a petition from tho recent Colored Laborers Convention, Sraying for] a division of public lands i the South among them. Opposing the motion to adjourn from the 20th in? stant to the 5th of January, Sumner said wo had Georgia, Virginia and the cable connection with France pressing ns for consideration. Regarding Cuba, Slim? ier said that the least said about that the Brownlow had a long personal expla? nation read from the clerk's desk. Speaking of Stokes and Butler, he said they were two beautiful pinks to be assailing him; and that the rejection of tho fifteenth amend men t by the legisla? ture was an act of perfidy. Carpenter argued against the departure of tho Spanish gun-boats, maintaining that actual war existed, and that oar proper attitude, was absolute neutrality. With? out action, adjourned. In the House, a resolution was intro? duced for a oommittee of public safety, to take cognizance of steamboat run? ning and other disasters, widely pub? lished. The North Carolina bondholders are urging Federal interference in North Ca? rolina finances, on the ground that tho Federal Government must enforce tho Constitution adopted under the recon? struction acts. Alargo amount of assorted war ma? terial, landed at Port Maria, Jamaica, for the Cubans, was seized by the British authorities. Hoar, it is said, hos resigned, upon a nomination to the Supreme bench. This is probable, but it hos not been officially announced. A QUEER WEDDING.-Rev. D., a Me? thodist minister stationed at Meadville, some years ago, one evening, received a note stating that a couple living in the suburbs of the city desired to be united in the bonds of matrimony, and request? ed his services at 9 o'clock in the morn? ing. At the proper time, bc wont to the house designated and entered. He in? quired of a young lady who was busy washing dishes, if there was a couple there wishing to be married. "I am tho lady," said she, blushing. "John will be in in a moment." Tho minister was surprised to see no preparations, and stopped to the door to view tho sur? roundings. Two men were hard at work grinding scythes in the yard, and an? other, who proved to bo tho "John," was tending a cow and calf. Tho young lady came to the door pretty soon, aud shouted, "John, John, hurry up, tho preacher is here!" John leaped tho fence and rushed to tho house, the girl wiped her hands on her apron, and after joining hands, said they wero ready. The minister proceeded, and had just got through questioning the young man, when the old lady rushed into the room, shouting, "John, John, yon didn't turn the cow away from that calf !" Ho let go his sweetheart's hand instantly, and rushed into the barn-yard, put thc old cow through tho bars, and thou returned to the house, again took his position, when the balance of tho ceremony was gone through. The minister went on his way, John went to tho hay-field, and the young lady resumed her dish-wash? ing.-Forrest (Pu.) Republican. The following extract is from Bulwer: "Pooh!" said Lady Dclmour, turning away her head. Now that pooh is a very significant word. On the lips of a man of business it denotes contempt for ro? maneo; on the lips of a politician it re? bukes a theory. With that monosyllable a philosopher massacres n fal lucy; by those four letters a rich man gets rid of a beggar. Bat in the rosy mouth of a woman the harshness vanishes, the dis? dain becomes encouragement. "Pooh!" says the lady when you tell her ehe is handsome; bnt she smiles when sho says it. With tho same reply she re?oives your protestation of love, and blushes ns she receives it. With men it is tho sternest, with women it io the softest ex? clamation in tho language.

TREATMENT OF SMALL-POX.-A great discovery is said to have been recently made by a surgeon of the British army in Cbiua, in the way of an effectual reme? dy for small-pox. The mode of treatment is as follows: WThen the preceding fever is at its height, nud just before the eruption ap? pears, the chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric ointment. This causes the wholo of tho eruption to appear on that part of tho body, to the relief of the rest. It also secures a full aud complete oruption, and thus proveuts the disease j from uttackiug tho iuternal organs. This I is uow thc established mode of treatment in tho English army in China, nud is re? garded as a perfect euro. POCAHONTAS.-A writor iu the London Spectator, in a long article, tells the ro? mantic legend of tho Virginia Princess, aud dispels tho illusion about many of tho attributes sho is said to have had. He gives her history and especially au account of her visit to England, and speaks of her as "tho naked little savage who played cart-wheels." He contends that all of our ideas about her beauty, piety, and of tho gentle blood of the Randolphs, is quite a mistake; that the first Randolph was a carpenter. To tho descendants of thc Randolphs and those claiming tho blood ef Pocahontas, the article will, perhaps, provo interesting. "I think I have seen you before, sir," said ono gentlemau to another. "Are you not Oweu Smith?" "O, yes," said tho other, "I'm owin* Smith, and owin' Jones, and owin' Brown, and owiu' everybody." Brigham Young thiuks ho has learned how to get his "settlement" into our TJuion. IIo hus sent u man to Washing? ton, armed to the teeth with mouey, to buy Congressmen. Things look brighter for Utah than for somo time. Lot a young woman take the degree of A. B.-that is a bride-and she may hope in due time to be entitled to that of A. M. "Lenny, you're a pig," said a father to his little fivo y oar-old boy. "Now, do you know what a pig is, Lenny?" "Yes, sir; a pig's a hog's little boy." "Bo yee as wize as a sarpint aud ae harmlis as a dove;" and then, if a feller comes a fooling around yore dove, yu eau set yuro sarpint at him.-Josh Dillinys.

OL - Your attention ia herewith called to the provisions of the United States Ex? cise law relative to the tax on legacies and distributive shares. The 124th and 125th Sections of this Act provide that any person or persons having in charge or trust, as administrators, executors, or trustees of any legacies or distributive shares arising from personal property of any kind whatsoever, passing from any decedent, either by will or by the intes? tate laws of any State or Territory, to any person or persons, or to nny body or hodics politic or corporate, in trust or otherwise, shall bo subject to a duty or tax, to be paid to the United States be? fore distribution. The returu must bo rnade and the tux paid by tho administrator or executor, upon e.ich legacy or distributive share of the personal property liable to tho tax before distribution thereof. Should no administration bo takcu out, the law provides that, tho party or parties shall bo liable, who undertake to distribute or settle the estate SUCCESSION TAX. Thu 12Gth to 151st Sections of this Act provide for the payment of a tax upon real estato by all persons, bodies corpo? rate, companies, or associations, who become entitled in possession to real estate or the income thereof, or to moneys to arise from tho sale of such estato, or to an interest in personal property sub? ject to any trust for the investment thereof in real estato by reason of the death of any person, and by all pereons and corporations who receive a gift or distribution of any interest in real estate while tho grantor is living, os well as those who receive conveyances of real estate which, in fuct, either by tho face of the instrument itself, or by some secret arrangement, is to take effect upon the death of tho grantor. As the United States have a lien upon both personal and real estate for the taxes upon tho same, respectively, and as the parties liable to pay this tax are sub? ject to penalties, and faithful adminis? tration cuunot be performed by allowing the tax and penalty to be assessed by the assessor through your neglect, which as? sessment and penulty may be larger than the facts (if known and duly returned to the assessor) would warrant, you are re? spectfully requested to notify this office of your appointment as executor, ad? ministrator, or trustee, aud to furnish the amount of tho inventory and a copy of the deed or will, if any, and a state? ment of tho uames of the grantees, de? visees, or heirs, of the real estato passing to them, so far as you have knowledge of tho same. This course will have a ten? dency to secure you as well as tho Go? vernment, and tho honest tax-payer who may be ignorant of his duty. J. F. ENSOR, Assistant Assessor. Office over Scott, Williams & Co.'s Bank, Columbia, S. C. THE HOUSEKEEPER-"CRACKED LIPS." Avoid wetting the lips, especially wheu you are out doors, and you will not often be troubled by them. When the mis chiof is done, a good method is to touch them frequently with a piece of phos? phate offcoppcr, (blue vitriol,) which will cause them to smart, but will cure them. It should bo borne in mind that tho salt is a poison when taken in any considera? ble quantity, but the small amonut whicl is absorbed when used in this way ii harmless. Those who are liable to cracked lipson slight provocatiou, may prevent them bj using roso lip salvo, which is made bj melting lino white wax in olive oil, am adding, when nearly cool, a few drops o oil of roses, and coloring it. A fov graius of borax may also bo added to it Of course this salvo must bo stirred con stantly whilo cooling, else tho wax am oil will separate. VINEGAR IN COOKING MEATS.-Al kinds of poultry and meats can bo mud quicker cooked by adding to tho water it which they aro boiled about one-eightl part vinegar. By tho uso of thc vinegar there will be a considerable saving o fuel ns well as a shortening of time. It action is very beneficial on old tougl moats, rendering them quito tender an< easy to bo digested. Tainted meats am fowls will also loose their bad tasto i cooked in this way, aud if no more vine gar is added than wc have indicated there willjb? no taste of vinegar acquired A NEEDLE IN A LIVINO MAN'S HEART. - At ono of tho late meetings of th Academy of Science at Milan, Italy, Di Serafin Bissi exhibited the heart of a; insane nobleman who died lately, an who at various times attempted suicide after he had killed his father in one c his insauo fits. The unfortunate ma died of cancer of his tongue, which h liad bitten off during ono of his execsse of lunacy. When ho was dissected ueetlle of three inches in leugth wt found in his heart. The coroner's com was informed thot 22 months beforo h death ho had told his parents that he ha pierced his heart with a needle. The; of course, did uot believo it, beeanso n change iu tho functions of this orgn i could bo remarked. Ho never comploii ed of tiny pain in tho chest or in tl , heart. Scientific men regard this ca: , as hoing of most extraordinary intere to surgeons and anatomists. Rev. Dr. Osgood once had a your ? candidate to preach in his pulpit, wh lie thought, needed "taking down." I 1 did it in this way: "I observe," he sai< "that you commit your discourse to m i mory. I sometimes do that myself-b ) never, unless I think the sermon is tror commuting. At Sydney, Ohio, ayoung woman we ' into a store and asked for "feline int? tines for lyrical purposes." He told h i ho was out of them, but had some migh good oat-gut fiddle-strings. DaaTB?cmoj? o? PuoiTsaerr-200 Bunao - IN38 BUKNKP.- Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, th? alarm of fire drew the gallant red shirts to the c?rner of Tre? mol? and Strand. The extensive whole? sale clothing establishment of Cohn Brothers, known as the Moro Castle, was in flamea. Spreading along the Strand, the fire took in its way Jaloniok & Smith, dealers in sash, blinds, Seo. ; Bnrna & Gee, hardware; Alfred Ball, Jr., cloth? ing; Magale. liquor dealer, who had a largo stock on hand; Craig & Ruff, li? quors; Lynch & Co., auctioneers; Shields & Co., agricultural implements; the fine building just ereoted by the Merchants' Mutual In8nranoe Company, and occu? pied by numerous ootton factors and commission merchants; and the Ruby Saloon. On Troniont, it first took M. W. Shaw A Co., jewolers; Reinicke & Co., tobac? conists; Rice & Baulard, paints, &o. ; Robinson & Co., news dealers; bar-room and Palmetto Hotel-thuB making acleau sweep of the entire square. Cohu Bros. are understood to bo fully insured. Of thc other sufferers, we could not learn particulars. Crossing Mechanic street, from tho Palmetto House, the sparks soon kin? dled a flame in the roof of the theatre, nud thence to the picture establish meut of Mr. Vanzile, grocery store of Mr. Hartney, the restaurant of Mr. Brette, boot and shoe store and fruit stand, oc? cupied by parties whose names are un? known. In the other direotiou from the theatre, it first took the barber shop, and then the saloon and boarding house of Philip Dubio, on the corner of Market and Twenty-fourth streets. The wind carried sparks across Market to tho framo building known as Girar - din's Hall, occupied by a colored man as a billiard and drinking saloon; thence it took tho guu and ammunition store ot Joseph Labadie and the large ico house of S. B. Lewis & Co. When the fire reached the cartridges in Labadie's store, the explosions removed many an old soldier's heart to tho stormy days around Vicksburg aud Port Hudson. Fortu? nately, most of the wardrobes belonging to the theatrical company were saved, and a part of the stage furniture. To the West the flames were driver from tho corner of Twenty-fourth stree to tho grocery store of John O. Rost & Co., tho saloon and boarding bouse o W. Werzlow, the dwelling house beloug ing to W. Richardson, the boarding house of Mrs. Davidson, tho boarding houso of Mrs. Connolly, and theuci through to the corner of Bath avenue. Tho flames hud alroady mossed Mar ket street, swept ou the Westward, lay ing tho outiro district between Tremon and Bath avenue a mass of smoulderiu( ruins, with the single exception of a ncA brick building occupied by Mr. Thomp sou as a jowelry store, on the corner o Tremont and Market. To the South, all the buildings as fa as Church street, between Bath avenu and Twenty-fourth street, are consumed and all on the block between Tremon and Twenty-fourth and Market and Pos Office. In short, tho only house lef standing on the ground betweou th Straud and Church street, and Tremon and Bath avenues, are Ufford, Ara strong and Berlocher buildings; fror corner of Mechanic to tho alley way, th frame store formerly occupied by Ben: steiu & Co., and the building froutin Tromout from Sam Harlan's to the allej fronting on Tremont; tho fine brick, bi just fiuished, on corner of Tremont an Market, aud thu frame buildings on Tn mont, betweou Post Office and Churc streets. The total loss is generally estimated i about ?1,500,000, but this* eau only I considered approximate. The ntnoui insured by our old home, Uniou, Fil and Marine Company is 4-1,500. W have not been ablo to learn tho umoui insured by our other homo company, tl Merchants' Mutual, as their splend building and office are among tho ruin Whether their books and papers are lo or uot, cannot be known until they el reach their vault, now covered with tl fallen walls and fire. In the Merchants' Mutual Insuraui Company building, on tho Strand, oi of tho finest in tho city, tho followii firms had their offices: Geo. Butler Co., C. H. Jordan, Neill Bros. & Co., . J. Ward A: Co., Duhle & Wooten, Alie Lewis & Co., and A. C. & M. W. Bake all cottou factors and commission me chants. Tho heaviest sufferers by this terril fire are, of course, tho smaller class property owuers, many of whom ha lost their all, and some of them w probably need assistance to save the families from suffering. [Galveston (Texas) News, ?lit. A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN NEW You Charles Van Dusen publishes a carl the New York Herald, in which, after l citing a coutlition of things in that ci which calls for a vigilance committeo, says : Now, therefore, I, Charles Van Dust of the State, County, and city of N York, do hereby give, for the purpose organizing a vigilanco committee for tl city, tho sum of $50,000; the same to handed to the treasurer of said comte tee when so elected.

N2 AH f?rrttlOBi^r ST?BT-THE MOST ' REMAUKAB??? FATBK? AND Soir.-A most remarkable case of consanguineous affec? tion end 8ynj}Atay ls that of s fathor and son living in the adjoining County of Fleming. The father is about forty five years of age, and the son is not yet twenty. When one bas any complaint, the other is similarly affected. If the father has the headache, the son has it at- the same time, ii ono suffers with the toothache, the other also suffers with it; when one gets a cold, the other gets it also; and so it goes on through all the catalogue of ordinary complaints. But yet more remarkable still, is tho similar? ity of their appetites, temperaments, and general actions. What one likes and eats, the other likes and eats; and what one dislikes and won't eat, the other dis? likes and won't eat. If ono becomes angry, or gloomy, or happy, to the same degree and at tho same time, is the other angry, or gloomy, or happy. They sneeze at the same timo, sleep at the same time and the samo number of hours; and, the most remarkable of all, they dream at the same time, and the dream of ono is the same as that of tho other. We might go on and enumerate many other instances of the relationship existing between this father and son, though the above are suffioient as show? ing how strange and remarkable that re? lationship is.-Carlisle (Ky.) Mercury. TABIAS TEA.-Professor Rafael Pum polly says the way the Tartars make tea is to "put the kettle on," throw in some tallow, when that has melted add water, when that boils put in a liberal quantity of toa and salt, with small pieces of sheep-tail fat. When done sprinkle over it a handful of parched millet, and serve in wooden oups, with cheese. It may be Tartar tea, but it reads moro like Tartar emetic A negro was run over by au ox-cart in Houston, Texas, the othor day, and for this diabolical ontrage, brought the driver of the team np before a Justice. Justice dismissed the case, it being com? mon law that any negro slow enough to be run over by an ox team is too Blow to sue. SUSPECTED MURDEH.-Coroner Whiting yesterday received a letter stating that thc body of a colored man, named Man rice Ball, who mysteriously disappeared on the 30th of November, had been found floating in Ashley Uiver.
