Thc duration of life ho believes to be measured by the time of growth. When once the bones and epiphyses are united, tho body grows no moro, und it is ut twenty years this union is effected in mau. In tho camol it takes plaoo at eight; in the horse nt five; in the lion at four; in tho dog ut two; in the rabbit at one. The natural termination of life is live removes from these several points. Man being twenty years in growing, lives fivo times twenty years, that is to say, 100 years; tho camel is eight years iu growing, lives five times eight years, that is to say, forty years; tho h orso is five years in growing and lives twenty five years, nud so with other animals. The mau who does not die of sickness, lives everywhero from eighty to 100 years. Providence has given man a century of life, but ho does not attain I it, because ho inherits disenso, oats un I wholesome food, gives license to pas j ?ions and permits vexation to disturb his j healthy equipoise; ho does not die, he j kills himself. Tho professor divides lifo into two equal halves, growth and do : olino, and these halves into infancy, I youth, virility and ugo. Infancy extends j to the twentieth year,; youth to the ' fiftieth, becauso it ia during this period that tho tissues become firm; virility from fifty to seventy-live, during which j tho organism romains complete; und at i soveuty-iivo old ago commences to lust a I longer or shorter timo ns tho dimiiiu ? tiou of reserved force is hastened or ro ; larded. Worcester, Massachusetts, has an elec ! trieal house. In passing around tho j parlor and rubbing tho feet on the car , pot, a person becomes highly charged ; with electricity; upon touching tho re i gister, or any good conductor, a brilltaut j spark of largo sizo is developed. Tho ; gas can bo readily lightod by first ttirn j ing it on, and then rubbing thu feet on I the carpet and holding ono finger over : tho jot. A spark often dartB from tho feet whon passing over certain places in tho floor, producing a painful sensation. When three or four pereons take hold of hands and walk around, they nil become powerfully charged, and tho one first tonohing a conductor would not caro to repeat tho experiment. What peculiar arrangomont in a house is necessary to j produce this phenomenon, and its iufiu ! enoe on the health of its inmates, being j constantly charged with electricity, is a j question for tho scientist. A little girl asked her sister what was ? chaos, that her papa read about? Tho j oidor replied, "It was a great pilo of I nothing, and no place to put it in." COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Horning. February 25.1872. Oommltteci from Charleston. The oommilteea from the Boards of Trade and of Commerce of Charleston, appointed a few days si nco to visit tho capital, and protest against the infamous license and stamp bills, arrived hore yes? terday morning. They were given a hearing by tbe Governor, and afterwards by tho Committee of Ways und Means. What impressions the committee may have made in these respective quarters, it is impossible to say. They deserve, however, the thanks of the people of tho entire State for their patriotic efforts. The committee, wo understand, was composed of both white and colored citizens, as follows: E. F. Sweeguu, Rev. F. Brown, G. A. Glover, Hon. W. D. Forter, Wm. C. Boo, Jos. D. Aiken, W. J P. Hall, James M. Carson, Edw. Willis, Dr. N. A. Pratt, G. Lamb Buist, Edw. Platt, A. D. Estill, Blake L. White, John H. Devereux, A. Baron Holmes. The stamp bill we bavo not seen, b it aro told that it provides for tho stump? ing of all valuable legal papers with stumps of the State, as is now required for the General Government uudor tho revenue laws. Tho license bill we have looked into. It is simply infamous. It requires for brokers a license of $100; billiard tables or ton pin alleys, $50; hotels, inns, taverns and saloons, from $500 to $50, acoordiug tu rental value; merchants, from $250 to $10, according to amount of sales; banks, from $5,000 to $250, acoordiug to capital; railroads, from $1,000 to $150, according to length of road; auctioneers, in Richland and Charleston Counties, $100-in other Counties, $50; miners and phosphate manufacturers, from $300 upwards, being $50 extra for every $1,000 of capi? tal over $5,000, This single item shows a tax of preoisely six per cont, on the capital invested. But this is not nil. Every lawyer is required to pay $10; telegraph companies, $50 for tho first fifty miles of lino, and $25 for every additional fifty miles; express companies and common carriers of that kind, $250. Any person failing to take out a liceuse for the businesses described, ure to be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and to be punished with a fine of not less than double their license, and im? prisonment for not less than six months. LETTING THE TRUTH OUT.-Tho Troy Wliig thus conservatively remarks: "The Southern rebels ought to have joined the Republicans. They ought to havo kicked every Democrat that came within kiaking distance. [If they had kicked Republicans it would bu Ku Kloxing. I If they hud joined tho Re? publicans there would have boen com? plete amnesty. We hold that the South? ern rebe) who will speak to such a man as Fernando Wood, or ?linke bands with Horatio Seymour, is not lit to have civil or political rights." The New York Commercial Advertiser endorses this "except 03 to the speaking aud hand-slinking, nnd more particularly as to tho kicking." The Troy Whig and tho Commercial Advertiser deserve com? mendation for their candor. If other Republican journals would imitate their frankness, tho South would understand moro clearly why it is that Ku Klux pro socutions there impend over an inoffens? ive peoplo, aud what is tho real ofTeuco for which itj citizens are sent to peniten? tiaries, whoro they may be subjected to horrors thnt aro not permitted to be dis? closed. Ku Kluxism consists in not "having joined the Republicans." "If they bad joined tho Republicans there would have been complete amnesty." Wo duro say. - ? ?> ? The correspondent of the Charleston Courier telegraphs as follows relative lo tho proceedings in the House, on tho night of tho 23d: Comptroller Neagle addressed tho House to-night, on tho question of taxa? tion, reviewing tho financial policy of the State Government, Ho said that if his policy of paying expenses by taxa? tion lind been pursued, the bonded debt of the Stato would now bo only about $8,000,000, whereas tho policy of run? ning tho Government on loans, with bonds, bas increased it to about 812,000, 000 or $10,OtK),00ti. His estimate of the expenses necessary to carry on tho Go? vernment for tho coming year is as fol? lows: Ordioury oxpenses, $050,000; in? terest for ono year, (estimating it at $12,000,000, as por Parker's statement,) 1 October 81, 1872, $713,000; legislativo expenses, $100,000; nnblic and perma? nent printing and f ublication of laws, $300,000; dolloiency of last year, $400, 000. Total, $2, iG3,000. To moot this, a tax of flfteeu mills is necossary. Aftor tho conclusion of Neoglo's address, Bowen mado a speech, in which he de? nounced tho levying of snob a burden? some tax to pay the interest on a debt which ho said the officials were afraid to tell tho amount of. Mr. A. W. Kruse, one of our most useful, worthy and respected citizens, died in the Asylum, at Columbia, whoro ho had been carried for Ireatmont, on Sunday, the 8th instant.

Thoro is a ruoe of people in Northern Hindost?n called Todas, who destroy most of their female children. We can conceive of no earthly reason for this barbarous practice, unless it comes from the reading of "Woodhull and Clafiin's Weekly. What are the points of difference be? tween the Prince of Wales, an orphan, a bald head, and a gorilla? The Prince is heir apparent, an orphan has ne'er a parent, a bald head has no hair appa? rent, and a gorilla bas a hairy parent. Some people nt a orowded evening party had belles on their tones. It gene? rally hurts them.

Bat as a general thing, while ten men watch for chances, only one makes chances; while ten men wait for something to turn ap, only one turns something up; so while ten men fail, one succeeds, and is called a man of luck, and the favorite of fortune. There is no lack like plnck, and fortune most favors those who are most indiffer? ent to fortune. I When womon outne to sit in a jury box, possibly infants may get to be criers in court.

A correspondent divides brides into two classes, the serious and the smiling. The first enters with a queenly step, and seems to say, "Don't look at me. Don't you see I'm married, and that those days aro over?" The other comes np smiling, as much as to say, "I've landed him. Is it not good fun?" Childhood is like a mirror, oalohing and reflecting images all around it. Re? member that an impious or profane thought uttered by a parent's lips may j operate on a young heart like a careless i spray of water upon polished steel, (staining it with rust which no after I scouring can efface. I A scholar in a country school waa asked, "How do you parse 'Mary milks tho cow?' " Tho last word was disposed of as follows: "Cow, a noun, feminine gender, singular number, third person, and stands for Mary." "Stands for Mary! How do you make that out?" "Because," added tho intelligent pupil, "if tho cow didn't stand for Mary, how could sho milk her?" RELIGIOUS SERVICES THIS DAY.-Tri? nity Church-Rev. P. J. Sha?d, D. D,, Rector, ll A. M. and 1 P. M.
