SINKING eF THE STEAMER swAS.-We recently

SUNDAY ScHooLs ASSIvERsARr.-The Sunday
schools of Grace Church and the Epworih Chapel
school celebrated their anniversary in Grace
Church on Thursday. The church was crowded,
every inch of standing room in the aisles as well
as all the pews being occupied. The exercises
were OF the most interesting character and the
| globe ceremony was particularly beautiful. The
singing. of course, was beautiful, the children
singing with that accuracy and precision which
has always marked the musical performances of
this school and reflected such high credit on their
| teachers.
The members of the Wilmington Conference
were present, and in common with all others of
| the audience were doubtless delighted with the
evenings entertainment. The reports show that
the past year has been one OF great oud growing
prosperity fbf the schools.

The Hew York Times and tho Finances
Of South Carolina.

The New York Times publishes an elabo-
rate review Of the financial condition Of
the State Of South Carolina, in which is
found this gratifying statement: 3
s'The State which appears to have the best
start and the steadiest progress, as yet, is
South Carolina. While she suffered fully as
much. II not more, than any other Of the
Southern States, her prospects to-day are more
satisfactory" ....s..... ......
When, however, the Times ventures to
make the statement that "the reason or Be-
"cret Of this is the excellent management
"of her (eurl hnanoea." We, who know
where the shoe 'pinohsa,, astly contradict
the assertion; and mako the counter state
msnt that the finances Of the State have
only been well managed in the sense that
means have been provided for meeting the
sxtravsgsnt expenditures Of the State Gov
ernment, and that the present State Gov
ernmsnt is administering our affairs with
wastsfulness and proaigacy which would
soon break down the credit Of any State in
the Union. South Carolina has . small
debt, and oan and will pay every dollar Of
her liabilities; but the secret Of this is that
the people are as determined to pay alltheir
just debts as they isre convinced Of the
corruption and proaigacy Of the existing
government Of the State. The Times is
content to make broad assertions. We deal
with facts, and to begin with, make the fol-
lowing comparison Of tho appropriations
for the years ending October, 1860, and
October, 1889, From this comparison We
omit the charge for interest on the State
debt.
The appropriations are classified as fol-

The aquarium recently opened at Berlin is
described as the most magnificent in Europe

basins in the rock work around the side, and

tanning more than Thousand birds, appearing
to occupy only one large cage OF wiregauze.

are no corresponding charges In 1869.
Among these are jurors and cOnstables,
$50. 900; compensation for slaves executed,
$4,000; military contingencies, 500. 1000;
military academies, $50. 600; dredge boat,

be deducted from the total Of 1860 to make
the comparison just. On the other side,
from the total Of 1869 we must, in the same
way, deduct $ss, 300 charged for the State.

Times whether it calls this an "sxcellent
management Of the finances Of the State ?"
The sketch given by the Times of the
manner in which the iunds were raised to
pay the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment is very jolly, and will doubtless boil
ster up the reputation of "the financial
agent" in whose interest it seems to have
been written. But it is an absurdity uu-
worthy Of metropolitan Journal to assert
that an obecure broker could, in the course
Of six months, create q demand for our State
bonds that it was difficult to supply. What
if he did have "unlimited confidence in the
"honor Of South Carolina, it's (Radical)
"ofdoers and (uegro RadioaD Legisl a,ure?"
What if he did represent to bankers and
capitalists that their distrust Of the secu
'rities Of that (this) State was unfounded,
sand that he himself proposed to invest
s.in the bonds ." This would have had no
more effect in Wall-street than the whist
ling Of the wind. But it was known in
New York that South Carolina had debt
Of abou. SIS, 900, 600, and that we had al
ways kept faith with our creditors. This
was the beginning, and the end was at
tained, the money was had, because this
"hnsncial agent" this young man Of "much
