RoDuNDo IsLAND GUANo.-If our agricultu-
rists would take the trouble to examine the
merits of the above article, which is now being
extensively imported and sold by Messrs. Will
Lis & Chisolm OF this city, We feel assured they
would follow the example Of all who have ex-
perimented with it, and use no other fertilizer
known. Although employed for many years in
the West Indies in tho cultivation of sugar
cane and the cereals with great success, it is
only since 1866 that it has become extensively
known in the United States, and wherever used
it has given degree Of satisfaction that has
been the theme Of many warmly stated testi-
monials in its behalf. One great advantage
which it possesses is in the fact that it is not
combination, or rather manipulation subject
to the honesty of the manufacturer, but pure

A PATENT RoLLER.-Captain Auguste Eaber-
NIGHT has invented new roller intended for
leyelling the asphaltum sidewalks. Mr.. c.
Werner, our Charleston Tubal Cain, and Mr..
J. F. Taylor, of the Phoenix Iron Works, have
the credit for its construction. Though the
roller weighs twenty-five hundred pounds, it
can be easily moved by two men-a combina-
ton of small steel rollers around each axle
enabling the ponderous cylinder to pass over
the ground with ease. 1t will be in operation
in a few days on the sidewalk in Meeting
street. Meanwhile, the curious can call at Mr..
Werner's and inspect the wonder.

REMovAI.-M -Messrs. Smith & McGilliuay,
Brokers, Rsal Estate and Commission Agents,
have removed from their former stand or
Broad-street to more commodious store a
few doors west, on the same side. They will
be benefited considerably by the change, as
their new store not only affords abundant room
for their consignments, but on rainy days, will
accommodate large crowd within doors, 80
that business can proceed without Interrupt
ton. Messrs. Smith & McGillivray are men
of energy and business capacity, and will man
age any business entrusted to their care with
fidelity, discretion and promptitude.

"RoUND DANCES DENOUNCED.
Spalding, Of Baltimore, the highest dignitary
of the Roman Catholic Church on this conti-
nent, has published pastoral letter which
takes strong ground against the so-called
ssround Dance" We quote:
SIN this connection we consider it to be our
duty to warn our people against those amuse-
ments which may easily become to them an
occasion of sin, and especially against those
fashionable dances which, as at present car
ried on, are revolving to every feeling of deli
cacy and propriety, and are fraught with the
greatest danger to morals"

THE ONE PER CENT TAX.

The Association of Real Estate owners is
going about the redress of certain public
grievances in u very commendable manner.
For instance, there is that oppressive i'm
post known as the one per cent. tax, one
of the most onerous, as well as most illegal
burdens ever saddled ON a people nominal
~ free, by masters who pretend to be rep
resentatives.
In Que of the tax notices which has come
under our observation, this tax purports to
be laid for the year 1867. Whether laid for
that year however, or the present year, 1T
is equally unconstitutional aud unjust.
If laid for 1867, it is retroactive, and COW
ers a period of time and condition of
things over which the present Legislature
had no control or Jurisdiction. They might
as we'll lay q tax for 1857 as for 1867, and
seize property which has long since, and
perhaps several times, changed hands un-
der the suppositior that the taxes were all
paid on it. This would be unjust towards
purchasers who bought with every legal
assurance that there was no incumbrance
upon the property. 1t would be highly in
furious also to the status of real estate to
establish the doctrine that taxation could
be put on it, by retroactive legislation, for
a period of time when it was not the prop
erty of the present owner.
If the tax is for the present year, the law
is still equally oblivious of all equity and
common sense. 1t provides for no assess
ment ofproperty, but assumes that of some
previous period. The Constitution clearly
provides that taxation shall be equal aud
uniform. Now, the only way to make tax
alton equal, is, by ascertainiug the value of
the property taxed, at the moment when
taxed A tax following the assessment of
value for some anterior date, might be a
very unequal taxation on the present value.
If the valne of last year can be assumed,
then why not the value ten years agof
And even since last year, how many
changes of value each way! How many
houses burnt down and lands deprecated
How many handsome residences built and
properties improved! To impose, at this
time, as much tax on the first class and as
little on the second, as formerly, would
certainly not be equal.
We hope that the Association referred to
will succeed in protecting themselves and
the public against many of these oppressive
measures, which betray folly, if they do
not mean plumber.

WlTu TIE NCNs.-The conclusion of this ar
ticle will be found on tue sixth page. The de-
auctions of the author widely different
from those of q Philadelphia contemporary,
who estimates the loss to Catholics of 100000
children in one city alone: pee year. The wri-
ter in Putnam says, on the contrary, that Ca
rhol cs are increasing rapidly. He says:
"Aud as for the matter of the numerical
ipcrease of Catholic membership, it is gain
ing on that of the total population of the
country at the rate of about twelve per
cent. per annum, compounded at that. Con-
slider what such facts mean and point to,
you who thought that Garibaldi was going
to finish the papacy few months ago-you
who believe That it is dying of a complica-
ton of printing presses, steam engines, and
submarine cables !"

CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS m JAPAN.--We pub
lished some time ago . short paragraph in re-
| latio0 to the persecution of the Christians In
Japan The following we find in tho Fosten
Journal, and though it adds but little to ou1
previous knowledge on this painful subject, we
give it, awaiting fuller details with great ark
iety. The correspondent says:
While enjoying the beauties of this coast,
We met Japanese steamer, the Sir Harry
national ensign. This steamer sailed from Ma
gasaki three weeks ago, with four huudred ma
tive Christians on board who had been arrest
ed, thrown into prison, taken ON board of this
There are stories that they were taken out to
sea aud thrown overheard; but the moro pro-
bable superstition is that they have been taken
TO tue miues, away north, on the island of Yes
SO. it is virtually sentence of slave maltyr-
dem. They VIII be worked hard, poorly fed,
aud subject to cruel treatment. The only in
d'ctment against them is that they are Chris
tians.
What n vitality there is in O religious idea!
Some of these people are but Jeceut CONVEX to
Ch.ist' anity, but through the three hundred
OF the Jesuits, Christianity has lived in this
japanese Empire. Persecution has failed to
root it ont.
One of our passengers is the Catholic prelat to
OF Japan: on his way TO Yokohama, to see the
French ambassador III regard to tue persecr-
ton. He informs me that there are probably
one hundred thousand Christians in the EN-
pre-. He is already in commun cation with
twenty Thousand. They have held their faith
il secret, have met in the mountains, in caves
aod dens, ma taiued rude forms of prayer and
ceremonies of Worship.
! The present persecution is ipstigated by the
ptiests of Buddba. One of them last year came
to Nagasaki, called upon Mr.. Verbeck, IL Duteh-
man, who is trading in Nagasaki, stayed with
him awhile, Obtained some Information in re.

Not long since pamphlet was published: iu-
