IIn vlew of' thle recenit app)oin1rtit of a coluiasli to codify the laws of. the State under an act of the last Log 1lature, a brief review of the statute laws of South Carolina will not be In aJpropiiate at the present tine. The statute law of South Carolina hegins with the year 1682. From that tie umntil 1736, the haws appenred Ili pamphlets. as they were promulgated by the 4overnor and Council or by the General Assemit ly. In the latter year, Chief Justice Trolt collected and pub lished a small edition of the laws then of force. About the year 1790, Judge (rinke collected andt(] published such of the laws as were thenl of force, with the fiLles of all obsolete or repealed icts. In 1811 Julge Brevard collected 1111d (1digested a nIew edition of the statute laws then of force, known it Brevard's Digest. It was rather a manual Or index, than a compilation proper. The first authorized and systematic compilation of the laws of the State was commenced by Thomas Cooper, LL. D., under a joint resolution of the General Assembly, in December, 1834, di recti ng the Governor (Hon. George McDufiie) "to employ some11 fit and competent. person to compile under his direction the statute law of this State." This work was ably and Intelligently performed, and, with the index, was enibraced in ten volumes designated as the "Statutes at Large." Up to 1872, this collection was accepted as authority, and was in general use by the bench and bar. In 1858 the As sembly provided for the selection, by the Court of Errors, of three Contunis sioners to revise and codifr the statute law then of force in this Siate. At the next session, in December, 1859, the Assembly adopted a substitute for the former act, roviding for the annual election by joint ballot, of a cominns sioner to prepare "such a code of stat ute law, as if enacted, might, in con nection with the portions of the con mon law that would be left unaltered, constitute the whole body of law in this State." That distinguished jurist, Hon. James L. Pettigru, was selected as the Commissioner. under this act, and up to the thne o' his death, about 1862, had made some progress with the work. Only parts of It were completed under his supervision, and these, although published as his re port, had hardly come into general use bv the bar. The Constitution of 1863, Art. V., See. 3, required the General Assembly at its first session, and everv ten vears thereafter, to "make provision to re vise, digest and arrange, under prop er heads, the bo(y of our laws. civil and11 criminal, and form a penal code founded on prinuciples of ret'ormation." D. T. Corbin, W. J. Whipper and C. W. Mton tgomerv were elected hv the Assetibly mn 186O, in compliance' with an act, to cairry out the above pro vision. In 1870, they reported the Code o' Civil Procedu're, which was ado pted, and in February, 1872, the A' vsiebl adopted their Ielor't Onl the reVvision of the statute laws, embraced in one volume, anmd designated as the hevised Statutes of South Carolina." Mr. Corbin did most if not all of the work for this conmnission, and it, was Cre'dital bl performeuId. it .emfbrtaces tihe stautelawas it existed up to the close .c &ii - i a'o . cat tm luegetchanges have beeni ade at eachSssont of the Assemiiblv-so great th at thle vo~iiLIume prepared under thle ti 'hinI Commnissioni is very uncertain 'TheL presenit Commissioners are re quired to take up, tihe wiork where the '1rbi n Conm iswion left it and to pre .'t at c>de of statuite law as it. now .t iS, toa[ther withI a penal code, as re'quiredi by the Constitution. norILjs 8 COR E8 CONKLEYG.

In this caae the story is given as a true one, and the thets are stated to be well known to every one living In the great street outside the Chien Men (ftont gate4 at Pekin, where the ailhir Is sup poset to have occurred: "A certain Ni igl)o man kept a drug gist's shop at Pekm. Having imade a good deal of money by it lie determin ed to commnenee a' whiolCsale business as well as the retail one. Ile therefore bought a warehouse for storing drugs and put it in charge of a nephew. hIis ventuire proved eminently successfitl, and he grew richer daily, principally for the extraordinarv reason that the drugs stored in the * warehouse were less liable to get damp or mtouldy thain anybody else's. As the nephew was at Work in the Warehoue he used con stantly to uotice the prettiest girl he had ever seen passing by the door. Though he sorely longel to try to inake'acquaintmance with her, lie ' was restrained by her modest and retiring demeanor. Time went by, and one day an old gentleman n'ith a long beiAd anid leaning on a statf called at the uncle's shop. In1 the course of conversationi it appeared that he came from the borders ot Snensi and Kansu and had originally fled to Pekii to es cape flrom the Mahomnetan disturbances in th West.

"As both partieQ were strangers in Pekin everything was settled and the marriage ceremony performed without any U1necessarv fuss or formalitv.
