Bills of the Bank of the State.
General Hlagood has issued circular
orders to all the auditors and treasur
ers, that in~ cases whore parties have
tendered bills of the Bank of the
State, 'they may be allowed to come
forward now and pay tho tax ini good
nimney without cost 'or penalty,
'1
having the subsequent right to any
remedy now given by law. The bills
will be returned to the parties. Sixty
I days are allowed from the 24th of
Docember for rodemption, after which
lands not thus rodeemed will be sold.
In consequenct of ihIs, many
taxpayers in Charleston have re
deemed their bills and paid in good
money, most of them without protest,
as they got a clear receipt in making
nonno. In consequence of this action
the bills have gone down in the
market to forty cents on the dollar.
As the State oflbrs to fund them at
fifty oents, it is not probable that any
more will be ten4cred for taxes,
especially as the holders are now re
quired to pay in good money as well
as in hills, with the ulthnato prospQct
of having the former refunded, if the
court docides in favor of the genuine
ness of the bank bills.
LEGISLATION ON THIE STATE DEBT.
Three Act,s vere passed at the recent
session of the Logislattire relating to
the public debt.
Tile first of those is "An Act to ex
tend the time for funding the unques
tiolnablo debt of this State," enld its
eflect is sinply to contliio the funding
of ante-bellum securities, as authorized
by the Consolidaiion Act of 1873, with
the important difforenco that the inter
est must be funded up to July 1, 1879,
instead of up to January 1, 1874.
The second is "Ali Act to provide
for the fundinig of the interest past
due oin the vali Consolidation debt of
the State." This Act provides that
the State treasurer shall receive from
the holders, willing to surrender the
same, all unpaid coupons and interest
orders due prior to January 1 1879,
on the Consolidation bonds and cer
tilicates of stock issued nuder the Con
soli<lation Act, which are recognized
as valid, and to give in lieu thereof
coupon hon<ls or certificates, equal in
almounlt to the face value of the cou
p)mms or interest orders so surren.
iered.
The third is "An Act to amend an
act to provide for the settlement of the
uintunde(I debt of the State, incurred
bvfore the 1st of November, 1876.''
This Act continues in force Comis

ALF1ED mvTIELr7DGE'$ CALL.
Mr. Alfrod Ethelridge ia bashful
Io does not deny it. He wishes he
wasn't, somotimes, but wishing
doesn't seem to holp -his case much.
Everybody in Burlington likes him,
except the father of a young lady
out on Pond street. With an in
stinctivo knowledge of this old
gentleman's foolings, Alfied had
forborne to aggravate them and
kept out of the father's way as much
as possible, atoning for this appear -
ont neglect by socing the daughter
twice as often.' The other after
noon, Alfred went by the stops and
rang the bell. The door opened
and
Papa stood glaring at him, look
ing a thousand things and saying
nothing.
Alfred Etholridge had never felt
quito so lost for language in his life.
Presently ho stood on one foot and
remarked:
"Good afternoon l'
"Goof toon," grunted papa, which
is, by interpretation, also good
afternoon.
pop-is your daughter at home ?"
asked Alfred, standing on the other
foot.
"Yes, sir," said papa, rather more
shortly than Alfred thought was
absolutely necessary. Then nobody
saidl anything for a long time. Pres
ently Alfred Ethelridge stood on
both feet, asked :
"Is she in ?"
"Yes, sir," said papa, not budging
u step from his position in the door,
and looking as though he was deal
ing with a boo0k agent instead of
one of the nicest young men in Bur
lington. Thon Alfred Et.helridge
stood on his right log and said :
"Does she-can she receive com
pany ?#"
"Yes, sir," papa said, savagely not
at all melted by the pleading into.
nation of Alfred's voice, which every
body else thought was so irresisti,
b'ly swe et. Then Alfred Ethelridge
stood on his left foot and said:
"Is she at home ?"'
"Yes, sir," papa said, kind of cold
ly.
Alfrod Ethelridge looked down
the street and sighed, then he looked
uip at papa and shivered. Then he
stood on the right foot again and
-said:
"Is she in ?"
''Yes, sir," papa said, grimly and
never taking his eyes off the young
man's uneasy face.
Alfrod Etholridge sighed and
looked up the street, then lie stood
on his left foot and looked at papa's
kneos and said timidly, and in
tremulous tones:
"Can she se. met?"
"Yes, sir," papa said, but ho nev
er moved, and ho looked pleasant.
He only stood still and repeated a
second time, "Yes, sir."
Alfred Ethelridge began to feel
ilh He looked up and down the
street and finally pinned his wan
dering azn to the aid spot n the
top of papa's head, thou he said
"Will you please tell her that Mr.
Alfred Ethelridge called ?"
"Yes, sis," said papa, and he
didn't say anything more. And
some how or other Alfred Ethel
ridge kind of sort of got down off
the porch and vent kind of out of
the gate, like. He discontinod his
visits there, and explained to a friend
that the old man didn't say any
thing that wasn't all right and cor
dial enough, but the mannor of him
was rather formal.
RIDING ON THE COW-CATCHER.
H e was a "cull'ed tramp," and ap.
proacrhed Captain Jaso Phillips, as
the train hauled up at Powee:
"Is you do capt'in ob do koars ?"
"Yes," replied Jase.
"Don't want fo' ter hire any dock
hands, duz ye I"
"No I I'm not running a steam
boat."
"Zactly I Mout I ride straddle ob
de cow-snatcher to do nex' landin'?
I'se busted, an' a long ways from
home."
"Get on. All aboard !"
And the negro straddled the cow
catcher. Ed. Gilligan pulled the
throttle wide open, and the -train
bad not gone more than half a mile
before the engine collided with a
cow, throwing it over a fence into
a cornfield, and the negro after the
cow. Next day, coming down, the
negro limped up to Jase at the same
depot, and said :
"Boss, I didn't ride fur wid yer
on dat cow.-snatcher; kase, ye see,
do cow wanted to ride dar, too, an'
dar wan't room for bofe uv us ; so
we got off togedder up h'yar in do
corn field for to rest. De next
time I rides wid ye I'll freeze to do
tqil-gate of do wagon. Hit's safer."
According to an English M. P.,
the most horrible-looking crowd in
the world is, a Glasgow mob. He
says : "A Glasgow mob is the very
worst mob in the world. Swearing
in England is very bad, but in Scot
land it is awful. Theie was but
one respectable man at this meeting;
he lived at Ruther Glen, and has
since been hanged for murder."
