DEPARTURE OF BISHOP LYNCH FOR RoME.-Du-
ring the past few weeks every steamer that left
New York for Europe has taken out number Of
Catholic clergymen, who are proceeding to Rome
to tas part in the celebration Of the 1S00th ami
versary OF St. Peter, which takes place the 29th
inst. The Right Rev. Bishop LYNCH left this city
last month for the purpose Of participating in this
celebration, and We learn by the Herald that he left
New York for Europe, on the 18th ult., in the
French mail steamer, and in company with several
distinguished prelates.
THE DRAMA AT FLoRENcE.-We have received
complimentary tickets to the dramatic representa-
tions given at Florence ON the 5th and 9Th inst.
The ladies of the Cheraw Memorial Association
will accept our thanks for the gift, and while we
regret our inability to attend, wish them every
SUCCESS in their undertaking. Florence has put
Charleston to blush, and If the old city does not
soon awake from her lethargy she will be outstrp-
ped by her younger and more enterprising sisters.
We understand that the ladies Of Darlington have
become jealous Of the rising fame Of Florence and
have determined that their beautiful village shall
not be ignored. Preparations are now being made
by the ladies' to give grand concert in that place,
the proceeds to be devoted to the repairing of the
Presbyterian Church.
USEFUL HngT.-As economy in small matters
frequently makes large saving in household e1-
penses, we publish the following information which
may be Of use to careful housekeepers. Since the
discovery Of the oil fields of Pennsylvania and Vr-
ginia, kerosine has gradually superseded the use
OF gas, and there are few families who depend solely
on the latter for light. The cheapness OF the
kerosine, and the clear light furnished byit, at
once recommends it to the public; but some inven-
tive genius has recently discovered that salt is
great improvement, and by tilling lamp half full
Of common salt, clearer fame, and q saving OF
twenty-five per cent in oil is obtained. This has
been tested by some parties who concur in the
statement Of the inventor, and Of the salt. The
experiment is simple, and as the material is with
in the reach Of eyery one, We shall soon expect to
see revolution in the oil business.

CHARLESTON ExpoRTs.-Since the war Baltimore
has made strenuous efforts to obtain the trade
from the Southern States and TO divert 1t from the
North. Her merchants have established business
relations with fhe prominent cities South, and the
steamers and sailing vessels plying between these
points usually carry full cargoes on both the out
ward and return passages. The Baltimore Sun, In
An article on the commerce Of that port, mentions
the following receipts Of produce from Charles
ton Four hundred and ninety bales OF cotton,
one hundred and eighty barrels spirits of turpen-
tine, six barrels turpentine and two hundred and
thirty-one barrels Of rosin. Besides the above
there we're received during the past month guam
