Very respectfully, J. P. RtCIIAHOSON, Governor. TDK ATTOttNEY-OENEUAli'S UKl'i v. CoMtMiitA, s. i'., January lu, isss. lion. John Peter Uichardson, Governor, Columbia, S. (. DP.Ai< Sut: I have the homu* to acknowl edge tho receipt of your communication of this date. You submit for my consideration and opinion the following question: "Do the persons who have been elected by the Gen end Assembly under and by virtue of 'An Act to amend an Act entitled an Act to create a Department of Agriculture' eic., approved 32nd December, 1887, now c in stitute ino Hoard of Agriculture?" In re ply, 1 have to say, that on die sonic day that said Act was passed, the General As sembly elected ten mein hers of said Board OS directed hy s ud Act. Thc perseus so elected constitute the Hoard of Agriculture, unless il should appear thal at tho tina of . the election tho General Assembly was not ' authorized to hold thc same. The "lily doubt us lo tho validity of the election thal could he suggested is, that no day is specially named in thc body of thc Act as thc (lay upon which it shall lake effect, and hence, if it he subject to the provisions of the Act of 187'J (General Statutes, Section 88), ils operation would he suspended until the expiration of tweutj days after its pas sage. In reply to such suggest iou, I would submit the fellowing propositions, vi/: 1. I nder thc Constitution of tins State, every Act of (ho Qcucral Assembly takes effect immediately upou its passage. ?. No Legislature Is authorized or em powered t>? provide :uiy mle or regulation for the guidance or government of subse quent Legislatur? i. It wo have reference only to tho Consti tution, then the Act in question took effect on the 33d December. 1887, the dato of its approval hythe Governor. If it did not, then luke effect, it must bein consequence of the regulation prescribed by thc Act of 1ST!). Hat if one Legislature has no power to Impose any restrictions upon any other Legislature, then the Act of December 33, is^T. would in ito way be affected, in refer ence to tho time win n it shall take etfect, by tho provisions of tho Act of 1879, uti less it bc presumed that I he formel body intended to cou form lo thu rule or regula tion prescribed by thc latter. This pre sumption could ouly ari's from the fuel that tho Act of 18ii)'wa8 i ? ? ?i tho si ttl te books, and if subsequent Legislatures dbl not in end to he bound thereby ii would have been repealed. Hut, on tis- other hand, it is niso to be presumed that the Legislature intended the Act to luke effect according to the provisions of tho Consti tution, unless the Act con I nins words show ing a contrary Intention. This hitler pre sumption, it skeins lo mc, ls stronger than thc former. However, if it bc otnerwiso, still any presumption lint the Legislature intended lo adopt asa part of this Act the provisions df the Act ol' tS??, or that tho same should hui til ko cft'ei t until twenty days abor Ks passage, I chu tied by thc fact thal on the veiy da j hs passage, to wit, on December 23, lbs,",. Hie General Assembly la-id an election .4.s prescribed by the Act in question, and elected the mein hers of tho Hoard as Hierein provided thereby chally indicating that, as to rids Act at least, it was no! bound by Hie rule or regulation prescribed by tho Legislature of 1870. My opinion, therefore, is that thc Act in question look effect Immediately upon its approval by I he Governor, and fha: the persons elected by tho General Assembly us aforesaid constitute the Hoard of Agri culture.

I hnvo road a good deal about tho damago dono in lato years by ohinch bugs, army worms, curculio, borers amt other insects "too Humorous to men tion;" but fow ol tlio writers soom to think or bo conscious of tho roalronson for tho increasing number and harmful ness of Ihoso pests. But wo ?io not hnvo lo go fur to lind tho reason, and it is foumi in tho widespread and outrageous destruction of our birds. Think of tba enormous uumbor of small birds re quired to dock ladies' hats nowadays; and of tho ruined crops of hundreds of farmers and fruit growors in tile United States, and ask if tho latter is not tho result of tho former. Of course it is; no ono will or can dispute it? What is to bo done? Something; and no time should bo lost in doing it. Thu Ameri can Humano Society is, I think, doing a good work in this direction, and would in time blot out Ibo bird-killing business, especially us an adjunct to the millinory trade of Ibo country; but it cannot work a reform soon onough to satisfy tho pressing necessities of tho agricultural interests. Wo must appeal to law to stop this indirect hatching and raising of myriads o? insects to destroy the crops of tho farmer, fruit grower and market gardener. I do not thiuk a law against catching birds would do much good, for it would not bo onforced; but 1 think a law pro hibiting milliners, both wholesale and retail. From handling those ghostly orna ments would have tlie desired effect, and with such a law we m ,ht, in time, have our birds as plentiful and useful as they wore a few years ago, before this bloody War on them began. Hut small birds aro not tho only in sect eaters tbnt aro being exterminated for frivolous purposes. Tho prairie chickens aro falling by tho thousand by tho ruthless hand of tao market shooter -that vile blot upon thc human race; cruel ns a fiend; grasping as a miser; lazy as a sloth; brainless as an idiot.and for harmfulness ranking next to thc devil himself. Why allow this low-lived specimen of humanity to ply his das tardly and destructive work undor tho very nose of tho furnier he is injuring? Why not send bim to tho poorhouse, asylum or penitentiary, where ho could be kept with much less expense to tho farmers, who uro now supporting him? Hut hero is a point that puzzles mo. Is it the shot, tho blood, tho broken hones, or the feathers, that makes prai rie chicken moat such a delicacy* If tamo fowl were brought on tho table in tho condition in which tho prairie chicken is usually served, lt would ho considered entirely unlit to eat; so 1 don't think tho epicurean public would lose much if prairie chicken ?hooting should be prohibited by law the your round, for al least live years, and longer if tim birds wore not plentiful enough at Hie cud of that time. I think thero would be little or no objection to such n law. Every sportsman in tho United Sintis would Uko it, and of eoursoovary farmer would commend it; evon tho market shooter would endorso it if ho had brains enough to comprehend its advantages, for now ho can hardly earn fifty cents a day, owing to the scarcity ot game, while live years of this law would bo likely to leave a Dook <>f tho birds on every ten-acre lot. Don't say they would i ii jo ro tho crops then; surely no cundill person can think that.

Nothing so quickly destroys respect for parents as constant bickering in tho presence of their chil dren. The first thing a child should Iwi taught is respect fer his pnreuts and elders; affection comes naturally with most children and is the most valuahlo aid in gaining control of their actions; next to that is respect, without it very little can he accomplished for the child's welfare. Parents should hear this in mind that children lose respect very soon upon hearing them disagree; using bitter, cutting words to euch other. Thia is indicting Ibo first actual pain theso baby henrts have boen called ujam to bear.

To give- beef toa alono to a sick per son is to givo bim a stono whon he risks for broad. It is not n food, it is a stiniu lant! Thia is tho startling information that wo read hi Dr. FolheririU's Manual of Dietetics, pilblisliod by William Wood & Co. When' flesh is boiled its albumen is coagulated, and beef lea as ordinarily prepared contains no albumen. It is practically destitute of matter that can over form tisane, and is equally without val no as fuel food. Says Sir William Roberte: "Thero is widespread public misapprehension in regard to tho nutritive value of beef tea. Tho notion prevails that tho nourishing qualities of tho meat pass into the de coction and that tho dry, hard remnant of tho meat ?ber which remains undis solved is exhausted of its nutriment properties. In making common beef tea tho ingredients which pass inte/ so lution aro tho rapid extractives and sa lines of tho moat, and not liing more, except sonic trifling amount of gelatine. Tito meal remnants, on the other hand, contain tho actual nutriment of the moat; mid if this bo beaten to a pasto with a spoon, or pounded in a mortar, and duly flavored wi'li salt and other condiments, it const ilutes not only a highly nourishing and agreeable, but nlso an exceedingly digestible, form of food." Dr. King Chambers gives directions for preparing nutritious beef tea: Make tho cook understand Ilia! tho virtue of beef tea is to contain ail the contents and Havers of lean beef in a liquid lorin; and that its vices are to be sticky hud strong and to set like a hard jelly when cold. Lot her biko half a pound of freshly killed beef for cv ry pint of beef tea required, and remove all fat, sinew, veins ami bone. I ?el it bc cut into pieces under half an inch square, and soak for twelve hours in one-third of tim water. Lot it then bo taken out and simmered for two hours in tho re maining tv o thirds iff tho water, the quantity lost by ovaporatlon being re placed from time lo time, file boiling liquor is then to be poured on the cold liquor in which tho meat was soaked. The solid ment is to lie dried, pounded in a morlar, freed from all stringy parts and mixed with ibo rest. This lias been termed "whole" beef tea. I can soo sundry readers, says Dr. Fothorgill, having been driven past the stage ef incredulity by the hard logie of facts, wringing their hands in anguish over tiic thought of departed relatives who have been practically starved lo death on beef tea. The mistaken views about tho nutritive value of beef toa have been murderous. As a food, it ls hut tho mirage of waler seen by tho thirsty traveler in tho desert; there is no real water. So with beef tea, as com monly prepared, it is not a food, but a stimulant. "Whole" beet tea is no doubt a good food; very good in convalescence from acute diseases, when wasted muscular tissue basto bc repaired. But in many cases it is open lo question whether so much albuminous matter Is either good or desirable, When this is not used, thero should bo added a teaspoonful of any baked Hour to a teaspoonful of or dinary beef tea, and some salt. Well baked tlour Is largoly changed into soluble dextrine; and beef lea, contain ing some such addition, is a capital food. If the baked Hour be made from unbolted Hour, then some albuminoid matter is present as well as the salts of the grain. Such will make :.n ideal ?uid food.-- Qood Housekeeping, Haid (o Hoar. Prof. Baird's grave features relaxed Into a annie when tho dispatch from Paduoah, Ky., announcing tho disoov cry of a diauiOlld-lield near that place was shown to him, writes a Washing ton correspondent of tho New York Herald.

Such tricks do occur occasionally. 1 remember about ten years ngo a won derful discovory of diamonds was re ported from Colorado. Tho newspapers teemed with descriptions of tho mino ?nd its dazzling productions. A porty of gontlemon went from San Francisco nnd examined the mino in pel-on. in their judgment it was a boiia-lldo dis covery. They returned to California and organized a stock company, with ? capital running up into the millions. Mr. Clarence King, ono of tho goologlsti attached to the Smithsonian, hail j UBI returned from Colorado when tho ex citement was at ?Ls height. Nothing of thu kind bud come under his observa tion, and naturally enough he regarded tho discovory us a rofleolTon upon him self. Ho returned lo Colorado, and saw st onoo thut tho mines wore Vailed.' The projectors of the affair offerod him a largo sum of money not to exposn them, bul hu refused to bc bribed, und HO tho fraud became public.

Judging from Observation nod tho ex pressed oplnlous of tho leading business ineu of the South, wc think lt perfectly safe to predict a greater activity in general buslrioss for the coining year tuan we have had for tin: year that is just closed. There is not a single enterprise that has been in augurated during the present year that is ?bowing any signs of weakening; on the Contrary, they are giving signs o? Billi greater efforts on tho part of owners to push them lo carly completion and get ready for active business. The tightness of the money market that has prevailed through the South for thc past few months has had the effect of causing many to look torward to thc future nial to he more guarded in their li anelal operations, lt is a fad that many large manufacturing coli cers have found* it difficult to call a halt at (he closing of Hie year sufllcicnt to get their hooks and stocks In shape to sec how things stund in consequence ol such large volumes of orders that have boon coming in, I llU8 as it were nr.nine ene year into thc other.
