HENRy WARD BEEcHER ON INTEREsT.-How
many people in ihe country have found out the
truth Of the following, by Henry Ward Beech
er:
"No blister draws sharper than interest does
Of all industries none is comparable 10 that of
interest. 1t works day aud night. in fair wea-
ther and ioul. IL has no sound in it's footsteps,
but travels fast. IL gnaws a mans substance
with invisible teeth. II binds industry with it's
film, as a fly is bound upon a SPIDERS Web
Debt rolls man over and over, binding him
hand and foot. and letIIng him hang upon the
fatal mesh pnIilihe long legged interest de-
YOURS him. There is no crop that can afford 10
pay interest on money on farm. There is but
one thing raised on q iatm like il, and that ID
the Canadian thistle, which swarms new plants
every time you bleed it's roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every one the father Of a mil
lion seeds. Every leaf 10 an awl, every branch
a spear, and every single plant like platoon o.
bs yoneis, and field full of them is like an
sr@ed host. sTheswhOle plant is torment and
a vegetable curse. And vets farmer had bet

PERTumEs.-Th French prepare more per-
fumes than any other people. 10 the south Of
France, and in Piedmont, vast crops Of flowers
are grown Cannes and Nice furnish, yearly,
about $4,000 lbs. of violet blossoms. Both
cities are famous, also. for this orange blossoms,
the latter producing 100000 lbs, and the tOr-
mer double that quantity. and of finer odor.
Cannes abounds, too, in the Acacia FarnesiGnG,
and affords yearly 5000 lbs. of it's finely scented
bIoums Careful treatment is required to ex'
act the ETHEREAL oils. These are so largely
mingled with other vegetable juices, that 600
lbs of rose leaves yield only about an ounce o
otto of roses. The orange blossom, however, ID
richer, aud 500 lbs. of flowers yield ABOUT lbs
Of Neroly oil. One perfume manufactoEy a
Cannes requires yearly about 100000 lbs. O
oraags blossoms, 10000 lbs. OF acacia blossoms
100000 lbs. rose leaves, $4,000 lbs. of jessa
mine blossoms, 10000 lbs. Of violets, and 500
OF iubsroses, beside manp other aagrant mate

AN ACT for the Protection of the Property
Rights of Married Women has passed both
houses Of the New York Legislature. The
Tribune says oft. that il is . the most compre.
hensive and thorough measure of the kind ever
passed by Legislative body. We do not see
that, though less would have been inadequate,
more could reasonable be desired, so far as pro-
psrty is concerned. The act will enable FIVE
thousand women in our State to earn snd save,
ann live on lhelr own resources, who are now
living or suffsrance, and whose furniture, and
even clothing. in the sase Of each, belongs TO
q reprobale or drunkard who frat deceived.
thsn deserted her, LEAVING her to toll 10 penury
for a bare subsistence, liable at any moment to

made her life wretchsd. We wish the act had
said expressly that widowed mother shall mol
be deprived of her own children by her hus-
bands will. but shall be their guardian when
ever the proper autherity does not appoint an
other; bat the act 10 so good that we can hardly
speak of this asa fault"

The South Carolina Legislature.

The proceedings in the South Carolina Legis-
Iature are decidedly interesting at th,s time.
The following is from the account of the SEN
ate proceedings on Saturday last,
Mr.. Rhett, from the Committee on the COL
legc, Education, aud Religion, presented "a
favorable report on tue House special commit
the in relation to day Of fasting, humiliation,
and prayer, which was concurred in aud re-
turned TO the House.
We should think it very appropriate for
South Carolina to set apart day for fasting,
humiliation and prayer, and 1t was peculiarly
proper that report for such purpose should
DO made by Mr.. Rhett.
In the House, financial measure teinr un-
der consideration.
Mr. De Saussure thought if the House un-
derstood the nature of the bill it would meet
with singular unanimity. The bill has three
clauses: First, 10 suspend the act of 1857,
requiring the bank to have one-third gold and
ne-third silver iu its treasury, tor two thirds
of its issue the second clause proposes that
the penalty involved by the act of 1910 be
suspended until 1862 aud the other clause,
to suspend the act of 1852, which forbds the
tanks from paying out from their counters the
bills Of other banks. To the committee it
had appeared wise ami discreet measure to
give the people as much facility as possible in
carrying out the revolutionary spirit of tho
State. In giving :ho banks this facility, the
Comm,ttee agreed with singular unauimity, and
proposed the two additional sections, as an
amendment, to give still more. security to the
people.
/ The bill passed, and also the followiDg reso-
lGtion
Resolved, That the resignation Of the Hon.
James Chestnut, as one Of the United States
Senators from South Carolina, he accepted,
aud that what under any other circumstances
would have been regarded with regret is
now recoguized as an act of loyalty anI de-
votion TO the State Of South Carolina.
The following resolutions we're offered in
the House by Mr.. Simouton
Resolved, That bis Exceleucy the Govern
or be authorized TO call for aud secure the
services of ten Thousand volunteers, for the
defeace and protection Of tue State. That
these volunteers, as they shall be received
shall be divided, under the supervision of the

Scattering returns from Wisconsin came

ing republican gains. Ten O'Clock struck, and
thr inquiry for New YoIk began to grow inn
patient, 'Wfy DON'T we have something from
New York 3" snd 81 wish we could get word
from New York, +" was the cufrout expression.
Soon after came the announcement that Wheel

more, l,U62 aud Alexsadris, Va, l 0 repub-
lcan votes; aud little Delaware, 200 maiori-
ty in Wilmington, AMI gain OF republican
Congressman. These bits OF news from Yir-
ginia, Maryland Missouri and Delaware, were
duly communicated to the S,ate-house, and
produced fresh oUtbuIst OF enthusiasm

lug that the city of New York complete gave
toe fusionists only u 500. il was carried to

all safe" said the gentlemen.
