Tomorrow la the last day. 7 appear? to bo reviving ev aarV except in congress?Phlla Preea. south Carolina'* sovereignty at Stake. The Chronicle's dispatches thU morning carry the Information that United stairs Circuit Judge Prltch ard has finally decided to appoint Permanent receivers for the South Carolina dispensary fund; meaning that this federal tribunal will attempt to take out of the hands of the State the work of winding up tho affairs of on3 of Its most Important Institutions. It must be apparent to everyono that In taking this radical step Judge Pritchard has gone further than any federal authority has yet dared go in InvaTling the rights of a roverolgn State. Indeed, he has well-nigh fore ed the question?have States any rights which federal judges are hound to respect? It is also very evident that a ques? tion of authority has been raised from which the State of South Caro? lina Itself cannot, with self? respect, back down. To do so would seem to surrender tc the federal government ?not to the federal government, ei? ther, but to a bumptious f?deral judgo ?the last vestige of Its rights to reg? ulate its own affairs. As to tho wisdom or policy of South Carolina's entrance Into the whiskey business In years past, there may wall ha differences of opinion; hat that In doing so she she did not relinquish any of the rights guaran? teed to her under the constitution of tho United States Is a self-evident proposition. It la unthinkable that the State which produced John C. Calhoun will tamely submit to this mandate of a federal court. Ana It Is unbelievable that aa ugly laaue will he forced up? on her before the highest tribunal In tho land can have an opportunity to spou her sovereign rights. That tho present action before Judge Pritchard Is bellowed to bo hut a move to check-mats the State In It* presset successful war on the dis? pensary- gt after a, and is Intended to extort from her'money that might not bo otherwise obtainable?certain? ly not so easily obtained as hereto 4a a matter that need not, at this time, bo taken Into considera? tion.

W. Moorman of the Chamber of Com? merce from O. W Palmer of Garde i, Cal. Mr. Palmer writes that he has recently come Into possession of some old and rare paper currency, is? sued In South Carolina during colon? ial days. One of the bills is of the de? nomination of $40 (97 pounds, 10 ??hillings), and la dated February S, 1779. It is signed bv Ira Scott, John Smyth and P. Weston. Another bill II of $S0 denomination (81 pounds, 5 shillings) and Is dated also 1779. It seems that theo? old tills have art)used considerable interest among the acquaintances of Mr. Palmer and he is offering them for sale. He has written asking thst names of persons who might be interested be sent to him.?Columbia State. A Gli.WD TOUR. Battleship Fleet Will Circumnavigate the Globe. Washington, March 13.?Admiral Evans' battleship fleet, after leaving San Francisco, will visit Hawaii. 8a mao, Melbourne and Sidney, Austra? lia, and the Philippines and return to New York by way of the Sues canal. Secretary Metcalf announced the fu? ture movements of the fleet at the cabinet meeting today. It will leav* Francisco on July 6 "for our Pa? cific possessions,"*-as Mr. Metcalf styl? ed it. The vessels will first touch a* Hawaii, where they wIM coal. After that they will go to Samoa, following this up by a v#jH to Australia, where they will step at the cities of Mel? bourne and Sidney, the Invitation of the Australian government to visit that country having been taipplei icnt ed by a most cordial one from th ? British ambassador, Mr. Bryce. Leav? ing Australia, the vessels are to go to Manila and while In the Philippines tho annual fall target practlco wIM be held. Thence the return will b?j made to the United States by way of the Hues canul stopping only at such ports as are necessary for coaling pur? poses. The date of their return to the United SlgAll is dependent upon th i amount of time required for the tar? get practlco In the Philippines. The visit of the battleships to Puget sound will be made some time between tho conclusion of the grand review in San Frsncls?( Msy 8 and the date cf sail? ing over tho Pacific.

I From th* Tribune Farmer. We have been having some very , cold weather, and the complaint is 'thai egg pioouction dropped (ft in ! some cares as much as one-half. T he above condition of affairs shows the I j necessity of warmly built houses. Our j h nises are all double boarded, with tar paper between and the floors .the same, liy keeping the Moors well lit? tered the hr.i^ can bo kept very com? fortable, as the houses arc wind proof and only so much air is admitted as is needed for ventiliating purposes. Our flock of 71 averaged 4b per cent egg pro iucticn during January, and ha i shown no disposition to let up on ncount of tho cold; in fact, in tha week which was the coldest cf the winter we had the heavl^t egg pro? duction of the winter. We aim to keep the hens busy, and take some pains in feeding and watering to overcome or offset the cold. Wc know that eggs are about 66 per cent, water. When a hen is cold she will not cat sufficient snow or drink enough ice water to keep up egg pro? duction, but If water Is warmed a little she will take about the normal quantity. Again, I believe a warm, moist mash in the morning is bene? ficial?not enough to gorge them, but about two-thirds of a feed, then wheat In the litter for them to work for. If they* are good, healthy hens they will work, too. Our 71 hens, notwithstanding tho excessively high price of grain, gave us a profit of over $20 during Decem? ber and January just past. Liberal feeding, no matter what the price of grain, 1? the only way to get a good profit. KEEPING MONEY AT HOME. . -4 Georgia Merchant Relates Incident II s lust rating How It la Not Done. Whan Senator "Bacon was in Mat eon the other day he was asked by a constituents to give tho people a cur? rency law that would keep the cur? rency at home. The Senator replied: "Buy everything at home form home people and you will keep the curren? cy at home. That's the beat law I can give you." Apropos of this, a Fort Valley merchant recently received a letter from a Georgia manufacturer, as fol? lows: "Last weck I went to the theater and ssatcd next to me was a big broad-shouldered fellow with a pros? perous air. The play ioait with the times of 'ft, and the villlsn wore a blue uniform. Well, sir, my friend In tho next sent was so wrought up over the idea cf the Yankee getting the upper hand of the Southerner, all In the play of course, that I thought every minute he was gcing to draw his gun, and when the band plaved Dixie he fairly raised the roof with his rebel yell. "Now comes the second part of tho story. ?'About 10 o'clock the next morn? ing, just after I was In receipt of a big bunch of orders from your good self, who should walk Into the office but this same Southerner of the evening bofore. After introducing himself, he Informed me that he had just return? ed from New York where he had placed his order for the entire spring stock, mentioning several lines man? ufactured light here In Georgia. He, however, forgot to buy a line of goods we make, as you know, so he dropped in to patronize his home industry to the extent of about five dozen at $2.25. I I *I could scarely realize that tni<? was my same patriotic friend of the night before, when It comes to senti? ment he Is there with the goods all wool and a yard wide, but when it comes to the old dollar, he carries it up to his Yankee friends who had gotten the best of him the night be? fore at the theatre. For this reason the South will remain poor.'?Macon Telegraph. What's the Use?
