INsURANCE.-The increasing demand
for insurance has established the fact
that this branch of business has far sue
ceeded al Others, and ito importance has
been seen and felt 90 often that no sens
IDLE man owning property, capable of
being destroyed by fire, will permit the
same to 60 uninsured. A general agen-
cy for this business has been established
in Upton, by 8. L. Smith, who repre-
sents all the leading home companies
and most Of the responsible foreign
companies, among which we notice the
Merchants' Insurance Co., of Cincin-
natl, O., which 10 especially adapted to
the wants of merchants and property
owners generally; also, the North
American Insurance Co., organized ex-
prsssly for the benefit Of persons owning
isolated property, such as farm build
ings, &c. The aggregate capital repre-
sented 1t this agency IL $40, 900 900, and
the rates Is fixed the companies is such

THE IMPEACHMENT QUESTION.-In
the debate in tina House Mr.. Wood
bridge alluded to q former remark Of Mr..
Blaine that the action of the Judiciary
Committee on impeachment was gene
rally considered farce, saying that the
committee had made on arrangement,
If the House adjourned now, to come
together about the first of May, and con-
tinue the investigation. It is to he hoped
by everybody that nothing would hap
pen that would render it necessary to
impeach the President, but ifa state of
facts should appear that would render
itproper the Judiciary Committee would
not shrink from the responsibility, but
would recommend bill of impeach
ment. That was duty which the
members of that committee did not seek
q duty which they would be very will
ling to be rid of, but they would candid
~ and firmly, and without prejudice,
examine the question and report the
convictions of their deliberate Judge
ment.
Fernando Wood made some remarks
against impeachment, for which there
was not as 1t stood, shadow of proof.
Mr.. Butler supported the idea of i'm
parchment, by stating that an impor-
tant point ofevidence had peen laid
before that committee. The President
had for political reasons alone, pardoned
1873 deserters from q West Virginia regi-
ment In order that they might vote for q
Democratic member of Congress. He
himself supplied the testimony. He
added that the result of this pardon of
this batch Of deserters was to entltle
them to tho amount Of 5000 which
would have been forfeited to the Nation
a Asylum for Soldiers. He also stated
that Colonel b. Florence had received
81 900 for his services as intermediary in
that matter,

pondcnce and contributions from the
other Southern States, and occasionally,
from Europe and our missionary stations

READY-MADE CLOTHING.

NNIIE ladies, gentlemen and young peo-
i pie of Columbia, who may be in want
of SOMETHING TO WEAR, are respect
fully and earnestly invited by the ladies Of
the Industrial Association to call at their
Work-room, in the Female Academy, and
examine the articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always be
found ready to exhibit the ready-madc gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nish constant employment to those who,
having been impoverished by the war, now
depend on the needle for daily bread
Does not such an object commend itself to
the hearts Of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
ou'Feople prefer Northern made garments,
and that there is, therefore, no more work
for ulenl? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in
the capital of South Carolina? Jan 10

all in favor of the existing prohbitpry law and
OF its vigorous enforcement. Eal-
The speaking throughout was able, eloquent.
direct, and fitted to do good, and W Ill doubtless
accomplish its object. Perhaps a single allu-
fusion to party politics had bette been omit

partizan character, and should NOT be- 1t is
temperance alone which is sought to be pro-
NOTED, not the purposes of whatever political
party.

greatly to the interest of the meeting, and re-
ceiving the hearty thanks of the audience.
The next meeting will be at Brunswick on
Wednesday, Sept. 18th, and will have special
reference to the students of Bowaoin College.

The Star, as we expected, declines to give
any Authority" for its statement that the
Press demanded the advertising under the
bankrupt law "as matter of course" The
public will draw its own differences. The fol-
lowing paragraph from the Oxford Democrat,
is to the point:
The Star makes weak point in heading our
mote relative to bankrupt advertising, "disap..
pointed grumbling." The whole business of
me me district was offered to if we would print
tne general notices cheaper than any other pa
per, and the Registers notices withSut charge.
we considered the proposition simply ridicu-
io9s, and declined to consider it. The Register
informed us in June that his instructions had
been modified and that notices for this Connty
would be sent to the Democrat, and are nub-
lshed at our own prices without contract and
with no part of it gratuitous. We do not know
what the Star makes out of it, but we do know
that the Press was asked to do it for q less sum
IMAM we would do 1t for in the Democrat.

TIE New York Post gives the following as
the origin of the dollar mark, S, which so many
people strive to make their mark:
"It is contraction of two Spanish Words
Pesos fuertes,' which means, literally, hard
money. They are made thus pfs. and the $
commonly backs over the p and f. have seen
them on accounts made before the federation
ofthe United States was ever thought Of Prac-
tise making the letters, throwing the back
over the and f. and you will readily see how
such designating prefix will get into the
that we use. Once when trading in Mexico,
having failed to use the term of pesos .fuertes,
to distinguish the kind OF money L was to re-
ceive, my Mexican friend paid me three thou
sand dollars in sixpenny pieces and shillings
and in his account he did not use our S"
If this explanation is correct instead of the
more common one according to which s is
merely modification of U. s., the Canadians
need not resort to the awkward expedient Of
designating their dollar by the letter d, under
the impression that the use of the old sign
would be tacit encouragement of the annex
alton heresy. FEI
