SIX.I THE SOUTH CAROLINA Railroad Company offers a compromiso to its creditors by which its funded debt will be scaled. As the interest is not paid on a large proportion of the outstanding bonds, The News and Courier advises the creditors of the road to accept the terms offered. SENATOR CocHRAN says his coin - mittee has collected sufficient o-i dence to send Chamberlain to the penitentiary. If so, lot the ex governor be brought to trial forth with. The resolution authorizing and requesting Governor Hampton to nol. pros. the cases of the minor thieves and tools of the ring especially excepted the leaders from the general amnesty. A 000K AND BULL story comes from Washington that the Senate com mittee of privileges and elections has reported that Corbin has a ,primafacie case, and that an effort rt will be made to remove Butler and esconco the multitudinous carpet bagger in his seat. This is ridicu lous. At most, Corbin could only hope to retain his seat one year, and at the expiration of this time ' not only ho but Kellogg also would be unceremoniously ejected ~, by a virtuous Democratic Senate. SENATOR HOWE, of Wisconsin, one of the stalwart Republicans, and a hard old case genera;l1y, mnade in the Senate, on Monday, a bitter attack on President Haiyes' South ern policy. He proved conclusively what every one already knowv, that if Hayes was olected so was Pack - rd, and that the former is acting a living lie by remaining in the 'White House, wvhile Nicholls is "~supreme in the Pelicon State, Hie euIogiz.ed to the skies Returning joard Anderson, a man proven to '?be without principle by the testi-. ~'nony of dozens of witnesses and oor three Republican committees. O~xld Howe's disgust is so great that <je almost yearns for Sammy Tildeni. Sh'~e matter with Howe is that a ntrong movement is on foot to turn heli out of the Senate and put a eotter man in. Hence those tears. 7 arvey Terry Smashed, The United Statns Supreme Court, 4nthe case of Harvey Terry again?st iho Merchants' Bank of Choraw has ~olded to favor of the stockholders, ia) reversing a docision mado by go~ I)gnd -ig .the Circuit Court. &el4that ,the failure of the bank S&he consequent personal liabili pfthe stockhoklers did not take Suntil 1865, and that the ~to of limitations did not run - tige period embraced b)y the >ly. The Supreme Couart that the bank failed in18, it eased to redeem 'ita notes l,and that Terry's action, 3'1872, was barred by the 4of . limitations. Haryy ~~re, If not his face, is .the stockholders of most abellum banks in the 'Atates. Believing that 6Mxr out to fortn.ie, he '~inumber S atatQa purchasing for a song the outstand' ing bills of the old banks, and in mediately instititted.. suit for 'eo covery against the stockholders. A most determined fight has been made against him, and he has been bailled at every point. He has, however, persisted in hi purpose despite every obstacle. But the United States Supreme Court has mashed him out. A trunkful or two of dirty papor is all 113 ii vn to show for the expenditure of thousands of dollars and yo:rs of scheming and toil. The stockholders will now have a rest, unless the decision in their favor is not as favorable as the first report shows it to ho. As the Planters' Bank of Fairflold was one of the corporations whoso bills ho ondeavorod to recover on, we congratulate the stockholders upon their victory. The lawyers who argued in this special cai against Terry wore Messrs. Barker & Lowndes, of Charleston; but the defence was devised by a number of lawyers, among them Colonel Ition of Winnsboro. PERE'LTUAL MoTIoN ACcoMPLIsHED. -A magnetic clock, invented by Daniol Dravbaugh, of Milltown, Cumuberland county, Pennsylvania, is stlliciontly romarkable to bo worth description. The iagnetisin of the parth, an incxhaustiblo source of power, is mado to oseillato the pen dulum ; and time simplicity of all the works gives an assurance of the least possiblo friction At a certain point tho movements of the pendu lum itself shut off magnetic con nection with the earth, and at another point restore the connection thus securing the conditions neces sary to produce its oscillations. The works aro so ingenious and simple that it is no wild lsserrion to make that, were it not for the unavoidable wearing out caused by even the smallest amon t of friction, the clock would run as long as the solid earth endures. This clock is hung against a board partition, with all the works exposed, subject to the jarrinlgs of machinery and ob structions from dust settling upon it, yet since March 1st, 1,77, it has been running continuously and uniformly, with only slight varia, tions, as tested by transit observa tions at noon,-IHarrisbur g -Tele. graph. IUFFIAN STUDENTs.--Threo hun drod well-dressed blackguards, who are attending nledical lectures in London, have been breaking the leogs of the chairs in Mr. Spurgeon's Tab arnacle.

AN INTELLIoENT I-oRisE.-About throo o'clock ycsterday afternoon, M. C. H-artwell's horse, inttachoed to a ig'ht openm wagon, was standing near the corner of Michigan avenue andl( Rowland street, andi was not hitched to t,be post in front of him. In the wagon was .sea.ted Mr. Hartwell's fourc year- old (laughter. Suddenly two (logs engaged in a fight, and snappinig, growling, and biting, the Canines rolled over each other until they wor1o exactly beneath the tinfastened( horse. Thme horse, with almost humnan intelli gonco, turned his head as though to satisfy himself that the little girl was in the wagon, and then, instead of starting off on a run, as .might have been expected, lhe irstituited a series of powerful, yet enreful, movements with his hoofs, and succeeded in kicking the curs away from each other and beneath his P'eter Cooper will leave shortly. for the South, to attend to~the in terests connected with his proposed new institution of learning lie pro .poses to found in South Carolina..

Iarge rod oc dh p g HF DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.-They toll a story of the captain of a brig at Vera i'az twho took a sailor who spoke Spanish on shore with himn to interpret for him. The conversa tion was somewhat as follows: Sailor-"Habla usted, E 'spanol Scnor?" "Si, Sonor, porfect amonto bien," replied the Mexican. "Buena," said the sailor, "in cuantas dias can you make a now main yard for the brig ?" "No entiendo" (I don't understand), said tho Mexican. "No on ton day ?" said the sailor. "01 come on, captain, ho says no can't (o it in ten daYs." Another linguist on shore, at the same port, caeo up excitedly to a native and asked : "Look here, Solior, ha visto usted a cabilloro a cavorting down the streets on a derned big gray horse with a Mexican saddle on?" "No entiondo ?" iraid the native with the peeuliar shrug of his shoulders pertaining to the race. "Ao6 entiendo ?" don't you un derstand your own lingo, you in fornal Dago ? The employment of petroleum for the removal and prevention of scale in steam boilers, also for the removal of deposits from water pipes when the water contains large quantities of lime, has become quite common. It has the effect of penetrating and rotting the scale, causing it to becomo porous and disengage itself from the surface to which it is ittachod. It is re garded as a very simple remedy, anul can be used in small quantities without any "ieu'!y whatever say about a q;!rt per week for a twenty--five horse power boiler, and in quantities more or less according to the sizo of the boilers. It may i'e intrOluced in the feed water or through the safety valve, or in any way most convenient for the pur pose. But to be effective, it must be pure-the heavy oil used for lubri eating in cold situations being the most Officient. Of a small laird in Lanarkshiro who was noted for eccentricity and ilealless, we hear that ou one ocea:+ sian a neighbor waited on him and requested his endorsement, as an accommodation, on a "bit bib" for forty pounds, at three months' dato, which led to tho following charac toristic colloquy : "Naa, n-a ; I canna do that." "What for no, laird ? Ye hue dune the same for ithers." "Aye, aye,. Thomas but thore's wheels within wheels, ye ken naothing about, 1 canna do it." "It's a sma' affair to refuse me laird." "Weel, ye see, Thomas, if I was to pit my name till't,. ye wad get siller frue the bank, and when the time came round ye wad na be reaody, and I wad hao to pay't. Sae then you and mo wad quarrel ; sa. w ma.y just as well quarrel the noo, as lang's the s,iller's in suy One of the most charaeristic sayings wvhich lhe ever uttered is ro.. p)orted to have fallen from the lips of the Prim', Minister a week ago : "I have the Queen with me, I have the H-ouse of Oommons with mer, I have the country with mon ; if I were ten years younger, I would change the meap of Europe." This is the splendid swagger of Vivian Grey ; but, translated into the plain pedestrian dialect of every day life, it means that Lord Beacons fieldl, having got a large majority, dloes not knowv what use to make of it, anid, having involved the country in grievous difliculties, has no longer the energies wvhich would enable him to get it clear of them.-Lon., doni W orl<. What wvill the inhabitants of the WVhito Sulphur regions say to this ? At a recenit lecture at Vienna, Dr'. lE. Lowy proved that the human skin is comipltetly imnponetrab)le for the chemiical con tact of mineral waters, and that therefore the ex planation of thme effects o.f baths in such waters must be sought ex ehusively in the domain of physics and not that of chemistry. This implortan t discovery annuls all commnon views as to thme .bathing cures wrought by mineral waters, anid shows~ that from a chmicalI p)oint of view the action of the most opp)oite wvaters must be on e and the same. Two PAn4LLE.T. OAsEs -It is related that when a i'ecent caller at the White House remarked npon the haste of Congre.'s la passing the silver bill over thxe vedo, the defg~eto President replied ; "Yes, it was indecent haste 1" This reminds us of the story of a celebrated Eng lishnman who was being conveyed to Tyburn, in one of the peculiar go carts of the.poriU(k .8e4t04 upon 4 coffin, and tho caunally remnarked to th9 driv~er-:f ~hit1 hlief fl con veyaike, "bxWe alc,er, this d --a cart hasn'). spi'ings I"-.- WaA Nga*on Posta-. PAYING THE REPOrTER.-At the close of the -recent session of the General Assembly a rosolution was adoptod authorizing the clerk to issuo pay cortificateg for twonty--five cents each to the embers, of the press in attendance on the House, provided that the paid quill drivers should agree to fund the said cer tificates in consolidated coupon bonds at fifty cents on the dollar. The reporters, howover, refused to fund and have determined to go into tho courts for their full pay. A poor young man once fell in love with an heiress, and, the pas sion being returned, it only wanted the parent's consent to make thCi happy. At last, meeting the father, he asked for the daughter's hand. "How much money can you coin mand ?" I cannot command much," was the reply. "\Vell, what are your expectations ?" "Vell, to tell the truth, I expect to run away with your daughter and marry her if you don't give your consent." Iinmortellos, or what we call "Everlasting Flowers," employ many iersons in their cultivation in the south of France, while the inanufactutre of thoin-bleaching, dying and making into bouquets, wreaths and crowns, etc., employs 1,500 persons in Paris. On fete days, such as All Saints' and All Souls' days, 25,000 wreaths decorate the tombs at Per la Chaise, the great cemetery of Paris. Cotton-sccd oil manufacture is beeoming a marked industry in the South. There are now seven large mills in New Orleans, and others at Baton Rouge. Shreveport, Natchez, Vicksburg, Dallas, Memphis, Nash. ville, Mobile, Montgomery, and even St. Louis 11nd Chicago. A ton of seed produces twenty gallons of oil, wortlr$3.50, per gallon while tho refuse cake, worth 8:0 per ton, is valuable as food for domestic ani mals and for fertilizing land. "A DEAD S&T."-Capt. Jawkins:(of the Piebald Plungers, in the inter val of a dance :) Aw, you and yeaw sister are dwessod amazingly alike, iiss O'Flannigan, What a capital pair you'd muako, by jovo ! Iiss O'Flannigan (with native simpliiity): Ah, now, indeed, C:iptain, if it's in a pair I was going, it isn't wi;h my sister I'd like to be matched! "Poor boy !" said a lady, as she took out her purse to give the little beggar some change. "Yos, I am poor," said the young rascal squeez ing a tear out of his eyes, "and have three sick mothers to support." The lady put back her purse, shook her head and walked sadly away. "My son, would yo suppose the Lord's Prayer could be engraved in a space no larger than the area of a nickel cent ?" "W.ell, yes, father if a cent is as big in everybody's eye as it is in yours, I think there would be no dificulty in~ putig it in about four tunes." "The girls of our day are very badly educated," said 0one of the members of a committee on edluens tion to the Bishop of Gloucoster. "That cannot be deniied," retorted his lordship. "HJowever, there is one consolation, the boys will never find it out." A German Jew was eating a por1k chop in a thunder storm.

A dressing which is at once agree,~ able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gray hair is soo, restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, thongh not always, cured by its .use. Nothing can re, store tljji1mir where the fQllicles are destroyed, or thp glands atrophied and decayed. B3ut such as remain can be saved for uisefhlness by this aipplication. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional 'jse will prevont .the hair *kom :turning gray or falling off, .and consequently prevent baldness. F'ree from those deleterious sub, stances which make some prepara~, tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely ,for a HAIR DRESSING, nothig else cani be found so desir, able. Containing nethler oil nor dye, it does io 8011 wbIte came~ brio, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossyr lustro and 6
