General Assembly a levy eirRmr*mm one-tatf mills had been mrected for State purposes, to the enrolled act the words “four and one- half’’ bsd been stricken out and tbe words “four atari three-fourthe” had been inserted, and In the second sec tion-4 levy iof-three thrxisaed dollars for the benefit of the Fourth Brigade In Charleston had been Inserted after the passage qf the bill these errors occurred, no doubt, by mistake in tbe engrossing, and, not being discovered at the time, the title of the bill was changed to that of an act and it was ratified with these mistakes incorpo rated. “ Upon thij discovery being made grave doubts were raised and expres sed in many quartets os to the valldi- Ayuf this-aet, oslosiated to embarrass the eellection of the taxes aud impede the regular operations of the fiscal de partment. On this account, after con* saltation between the comptroller- general, the attonjpy-geuorsj.aqd my self, It wns concluded that the beat in terest of tho State demanded that the validity of the act should be tested io the courts before any effort was made by the comptroller to enforce its pro visions. In accordance with this con- ciusloo, and for the purpose of ho-ving this question seiticd at an eaily mo- •oem -by judicial authority, proceed ings w^re instituted on the 15th day of January, I860, in the Supreme Court by tbe attorney-general against the comptroller, by mandamus, to compel the comptroller to carry the act into . freer, the comptrolhr having declined to do so aud having notidpd me of that fact. This form o f pro* this time. And there is one subject especially which It seems to Ole should demand" attention—a subjetf; which, in some point of view, in my judgment^ rises even higher la importance than the supply bill Itself—I allude to a proper registration law.

W. D. Simmon, Governor. Why and W r hen l.nmpa Explode. All explosions of coal oil lamps are caused by the vapor of gas which col lects above the oil. When full of oil of course a lump contains no gas, but immediately on lighting the lamp, con sumption of oil begins, soon leaving a space for gas, which commences to form as the lamp warms up, and, after burning a short, time, sufficient gas will accumulate to make an ex plosion. Tbs gas lamp will explode only when Ignited. In this respect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or inferior oil is always tbs most dangerous. The following shows that many things may occur to cause the flame to pass down the wick and explede tbe lamp: 1. A lamp may be standing on a table or mantel, and a slight puff of air from the open window, or sudden opening of a door may cause au ex plosion. 2. It may be taken up quickly from a table or mantel and lustantly ex plode. 3. If taken Into any entry where wall?’’ “Yes, sir,” he efald, “I know thfit) but If you will let me, I am willing to try It.” ^ _ After a pause, the General said, Kirkland, I ought not to allow you to run such a risk, but the sentiment which actuates you Is so noble, that I will not refuse your request, trusting that God may protect you. You may go" ■ The Sergeant’s eyes lighted up with pleasure. He said: “Thank you sir,” and ran rapidly down stairs. The General heard him pause for a moment and then return, bounding two stepe at a time. He tnoeght the Sergeant’s heart had failed him. He was mis taken. The Sergeant stopped at the door and said: “General, can I show a white h&ndkerschieff” The Gene ral slowly shook bis head, saying emphatically, “No, Kirkland, you can’t do that.” “All right sir,” he said, “I’ll take the chances,” and ran down with a bright smile on his hand some countenance.

She burst right out laughing, at midnight, thinking of it. So she took up the rubber bag of hot water and placed It on his stomach. The bag was about as big as a cow’s liver, aud as warm as a piece of shingle on a boy. It hado’t been on his chest and other baggage over two minutes be fore he slowly opened his eyes. She stuffed tbe upper works of her night gown in her mouth to keep from laughing. He raised up his head, aod said: “Harriet, my endhas come!” “Which end, Josiab?” said shs, as "she foiled over, “your bead or your feat?” And then Shs put s pillow In her mouth, aud reached over to him and unscrewed the nozzle that holds tbs water la the bag, “I am dying, Egypt, dying,” said hs. “My heart is solaged to three times its natural size, and oh, I am bleeding to death.” She had opened the noBnle, and three quarts of hot water was potirlng over him, saturat ing him from bead to heeta She had not meant to let out more than half a pint of watst 00 hind, but wben it got to flowing she couldn’t stop Iff so she got out of bed and told him to s ve himself.
