The total value of the Egyptian cot ton crop is $60,000,000, but tbe yield per acre is constantly failing off on account of the exhaustion of tho soil.

One good thing that may he set down to the credit of the late Congress is its psssage of the law reducing pos tage oo single letters to two eents. It is singular that wbeo a great surplus revenue was reported some Congress men hesitated to risk loweriog tbe pos tsge rate, lest there seould he a slight deficit in tbe Postoffice Department. The increase in tbe receipts will un questionably overcome any such deficit within two or three years st the fur thest ; and even if it should not. a part of tbe revenues could not be better ex pended than in securing cheap postage. The marriage of Senator Tabor, of Colorado, to Miss McCourt, of Chicago, at the leading Catholic church of Wash ington, m presence of President Arthur and a distinguished company, has been followed by tbe declaration of the priest who naked tbem that be has been de ceived ; that both parties to tbe cere mony had passed through tbe divorce teert unknown to him, and that while the marriage is legal in the eyes of tbe law there was ne real marriage in tbe eyes of tbe Catherie church. The af fair bee created quite a sensation iu Washington. The aggregate amount of all the ap propriation bills passed by tbe last ses sion of Congress is $229,227,511.36, made on as follows: Pension, $86, 275,000; Military academy. $318, ?7 fitf; rectifications, $670.000; eon $1^90,765; _X_ J_I_I navy, $15,894,434.23; army. $24, 681,350; postoffice, $44,489,520; In dian, $5,362,655.91; legislative, $20,464,296.22; sundry civil, $23, 906,147.47: District of Columbia, $1, 699,867.23; deficiency. $2,813,187, 80: agricultural. $405,640; miscella neous bills, involving appropriations of money, $750,000. No river and bar ber appropriation bill was passed*. The aggregate of the appropriations for last yearr including $18,738,875 for the river and harbor bill, was $295,509, 639. and for the preceeding year, in cluding $11,441,300 for the river and harbor bill, was $219,367,983 38. THE PtTBLIC GRAMMAR. It seems to us that public notices, es pecially those which are daily read by thousands of people, should be couched in grammatical language. Where large sums of the people's money arc appropriated for the purpose of convey ing to them, certain pieces of informa tion, some one, who understands the English language, should be employed to indite the sentences. Some of our officials, however, do not seem to regard the matter, in this way, since the mil lions of postal cards which are daily consumed, and which are read by the inmates of every household, bear upon their faces a printed notice containing a grammatical error. Thus, while salaried officials in one department of our 'gov ernment, are dispensing the public funds to educate and polish the masses, well paid officers in another branch are cultivating error by placing continually before the eyes of the children and the unlearned, a sentence containing a vio lated principle, which thousands of teachers are annually paid to correct. Recently our General Assembly voted an appropriation for the erection of painted signs at all railroad crossings to warn the public of danger, and though it amounted to several thousand dollars, so little attention was paid to the work that some ignorant workman was allowed to paint a blunder .which every child who can ?read is sure to imitate. We have received a copy of the An nual Review of the Trade and indus tries of the port of Georgetown from Sept. 1st 1881 to Sept. 1st 1882. It is a neatly executed circular, issued from the office of the Georgetown Enquirer, and exhibits a gratifying condition of the business of the place. The amount of trade for the year aggregates $4, 249,208 and its population at the last census was 2,557. The following description of the town is, taken from the new Hand book of South Carolina soon to be issued by the State Department of Agriculture : Georgetown was founded early in the 18th century by the Rev. M. Screven, the first Baptist Minister in South Caro lina. It covers an area a mile square and has a population of 2,557, showing an increase of 22 percent, since 1870. It is laid out with a symmetry and regu larity that have often elicited praise, and has fourteen miles of streets all of which are adorned by ornamental shade trees celebrated for their beauty. The principal business street of the town is paved with stone, brick and wood. Four main drains with a number of lateral drains empty into Satnpit River and constitute an excellent system of drainage. The conrt house, jail and town ball are of brick and erected at a cost of $50,000. There are five church es, three for whites. Episcopal, Metho dist and Baptist, and two for the colored population, Methodist and Baptist. Tbey have an aggregate seating capaci ty of over 3.000 and cost $30,000. The educational facilities of the town are good. There are two pnblic schools, one white and one colored, and a con siderable nuT.ber of private schools. In addition to these is the Winyah In digo Society Academy, an institution which has during its long existence ac complished much to elevate and liberal ise onr people by disseminating knowl edge among the poorer classes. Prior to the war the school was purely elee mosynary, but since that event, the im poverished condition of the society has compelled it to restrict the number of beneficiaries and to establish a schedule of tuition fees for all who were able to pay. The ball of the Society is a two stcry. brick edifice nearly eighty feet long and forty wide, with lofty Corinthian columns in front. It cost $18,000. The lower story is nsed as a school room, with two ante-rooms, one of which is nsed as a laboratory for the pursuit of experimental chemieai and philosophical studies The pupils are prepared to enter West Point and the colleges and universities of the United States. The principal of the school is Prof. A. McP. flamby, a graduate of Wofford College The Winyah Indigo Society is one of the oldest charitable institutions in the South, having beeo incorporated in 1756. For more than a century it has dispensed its munifi cent charity among our people and many bright names, whose records have added lustre to the history of oorStat*. were first enrolled among the lists of pupils to whom this noble organization threw wide the deors of knowledge. The pre sent officers of the society are: Presi dent, B. All&'on ; Senior Warden. II. Dosier; Junior Warden, B. A. Muu nerlyn mr Attorney, C. R Anderson ; Treasurer. J. W. Tar box; Secretary ; Walter Hasard. A report conies to us that the people of the Tiller's Ferry section on Lynch's Creek are greatly excited at this time over the rumor that there is a wild woman wandering around io that neigh borhood. Some persons who claim to have seen her say that she is very black, and that her body is covered with long, black wooly hair ; also that her appearance a ad actions are wild and savage in the extreme. She is very shy and will not allow two people to approach her at a time, but if one per son is alone she will attack him at once, beating ana* bitiog him in- a fearful manner. Two meo went out recently to capture her, but up to nightfall nothing had been seen of her. It was suggested that tbey light a fire and camp out, thinking that the light might attract her attention and induce her to come to it. After waiting some time ooe of the men concluded that he would go home. Shortly after be left, the woman made her appearance and im mediately attacked the man at' the fire. He did hit best at fighting, but he was do match for her. He was beaten and bitten in a fearful man ner. At last he got a chance to run away, and he did it in quick time. Fear lent speed and strength to his limbs, enabling him to outrun his enemy, altoough she is said to be very swift of foot. This last act has increas ed the excitement, and many persons, it is said, are afraid to travel alone now. A party is being made up to hunt her down and effect her capture if possible. Lynch'8 Creek Swamp is her hiding place, and she remains there until nightfall, when she starts out in search of something to eat. When last seen she was said to be eating a piece of a hog that she bad just killed.?Camden Journal._ WASHINGTON LETTES. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, March 9, 1883. Most of our statesmen have taken flight from Washington, and, strange to say, the District did not tip op as they moved off notwithstanding the fact that many of them were men of great weight (avoirdupois.) We know full well that 'when the leaves begin to fall' much of this same Congress will re turn to us readily and remain with us steadily, while on the other hand, tak ing a hint from last November, much of it will conclude that private interests demand undivided attention at home. However, ample provision will meet this deficiency. There is no scarcity in the United States of the stuff of which congressmen are made. The unfinished business left at the adjournment of each Congress always suggests a rearrangement of the ses sions. Congressional sessions that may have met every want half a century ago are inadequate now to the growing demands of so vast and populous a country as ours has become. Senators and representatives need to be forced by public opiniou to recognize the demand for a larger part of their time to be spent in actual legislative work. It has been proposed that each Congress bold three sessions instead of two, so as to make the whole of i|s two years available for legislation instead of the year and three months to which it is restricted by the present system. The tariff question ghost will not down. It is the fruitful theme of discussion in political circles here, composed largely of members and senators who have not yet returned to the bosoms of their con stituencies. The free traders are a lit tle afraid wool and iron have not been given a fair deal. Judge Kelly has compared the malcontents to the man in Heaven who complained, that his halo did not fit. Kelly is evidently pleased with the fit of his halo. The election of Senator Edmunds to the presidency of the Senate will cause considerable shifting around among committees. Senator Edmunds must retire from the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, which will fall to Senator Logan, who is no lawyer. As the latter is chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, he will surrender that to the next in order. Senator Cam eron of Pennsylvania, who is imbecile both in mind and body. Senator Cam eron is already chairman of the Com mittee 02 Naval Affaiars, and may not wish to resign, a decision jbich would give Senator Harrison the committee on military affairs. Senator Miller will inherit the chairmanship on foreign relations, and so on. This general shake op may not place the right man in the right place, but? motion prevents stagnation, and makes life more interest ing. Dr. Max Sering. a distinguished re presentative of the Prussian govern ment, who is travelling in this country for the purpose of examining our pro- j cesses of agriculture, is visiting, Wash-1 ington now. This week there has been j an unusual demand for translators and ' interpreters, for, besides a delegation of i Chippewa, Chickasaw, and Chocktaw Indians,' to see the Secretary of the In terior about their lauds, there is also in the city a party of Japanese officials traveling for recreation, and an Embas sy from Madagascar, having for their object the treaty with the United States | which was ratified by Congress before ; they landed at New York. Special at- j tent ion 8 have been shown these ambas- j sadors, and on Thursday they went! down the river to Mount Vernon on the j U. S. Steamer Despatch, which was I placed at the disposal of Secretary Fre- | linghuysen by Secretary Chandler, the j marine band being detailed to accom pany the excursionists. Invitations for the trip, were extended to the Cabinet Ministers, and the ladies of their fami lies, the diplomatic corps, and others, I the party numbering about seventy- j five. The resignation on Tuesday of Mr. James Gilfillan, who has for six years with so much efficiency and genial cour tesy discharged the responsible duties of United States Treasurer causes surprise and general regret. Since I began writing a singular ad venture in which Ex Secretary Blaine fig ured, and which has been kept remarka-! bly quiet, has been made public. As he j was riding home from the Capitol one j night last week, a round, clean cut hole was made in the plate gla&s of the bin- j dau in which he was seated. Neither ' he nor the driver heard the report of a j pistol, though the rumbling of the ! wheels could have prevented that If the affair was not wholly accidental, it could have been nothing less thau an attempt at assassination. [Since this was in type we have seen ; a denial by Mr. Blaine, of the entire i story.-^Ed. W. & S.] 3 ======== i On Saturdary morning a tragedy oc- i curred at the Lunatic Asylum in ! Columbia. One of the patients, named Z F. Whatley, of Edgefield County, j who is a sufferer from acute mania, ! while in a sitting-room with half a j dozen other male patients, managed to ' free his hands from the straps which bound them to his waist. He then i tore off the arm of a wooden settee and made a wild attack on those in the j room. He struck another patient, named James A. Barrington, from Marlboro county, in the back of the head, fracturing the base of his skull, and then attacked Mike Cantwell, a keeper, felling him to the floor, when another keeper ran up and secured Whatley, thus preventing him from doing farther damage. Barrington lived till Sunday morning, when be j died. j - ? I i urn - Invention of Sleep. After eating a hearty supper, if you would ! not moan and groan and toss aboat in bed all through the wearisome night and dream about snakes and 6re, take a dose of Nor man's Neutralizing Cordial, then balmy sleep, Nature's sweet restorer, will come un bidden. A Dastardly Deed. A Charleston Man Abandons Sis Wife in a Strange City. Chattanooga, March 4.?Friday morning there came to the Florentine House a gentleman accompanied by a lady and one small child, whom he reg istered as "wife and child:' They took a room where they remained in seem ing satisfaction until yesterday. When the bonr arrived for the Western and Atlantic evening train to depart the husband picked up the child, and with out a word of warning boarded the train and left his wife. As an excuse for taking the child out of the hotel with him when be started, he told his wife that he was taking the child down town to give it some confectioneries and "show it the sights." When night came and brought no husband or child she becamo alarmed, and had the landlord to institute hasty search for them. The man, who regis tered as S. 0- Driver, had called before leaving and settled the entire bill and acted so suspiciously that Mr. Stoops at once suspected his flight as soon as bis whereabouts beiog unknown wss men tioned. He, therefore, made inquiry of a railroad official, who informed him that Driver had left the city for?Charles ton, S. C. When this information was coveyed to the lady she burst into tears. In response to questions she stated that they had had some family trouble, which necessitated her leaving home, and that she had been with her uncle in Collinsville, Ala., for a month past. A few days since they "made up" by correspondence, and her hus band came from Charleston after her, the two meeting in the city by arrange ment. She saw too late that his pre tended reconciliation was only a piece of strategy adopted by him in order to get possession of the child. He is about 28 years old, a man of fine ad dress aod quite intelligent. Sho looks to be about 22 years of age, handsome and refined. She only had six dollars in money left, to which Mr Stoops ad ded enough to pay her fare back to her uncles where she went yesterday. Their former home was Charleston. The Publishers of the Richmond, Va., En quirer heartily recommend Dr. Boll's Cough Syrup and say : "It bos been well tried in onr office and composing room, aod has cured our city editor of a very bad case of Bron chitis.
