TAXATION ON RAILRoADs.-This
question was before the United States
Circuit Court yesterday, under bills
Of injunction filed by Stockholders of
the South Carolina Railroad Compa-
ny, of the Northeastern Railroad
Company, and the Cheraw and Dar-
lington Railroad Company against
the lax collectors and sheriffs Of the
State, in the case Of the taxes impos-
ed by the State, and against the City
council OF Charleston and its officers
in the case Of taxes imposed by the
city. The Stockholders Of the Rail-
road Companies claimed that tho ex-
press exemptions gra ted by the Leg
iSIature to the several companies by
their respective charters were con-
tracts between the State and the COR
porations. which were beyond the
power Of the Legislature to impair.
After argument, the court (Justices
Bond and Rryan) sust' lined the claim
Of the Railroud Companies Of exemp-
ton from taxation under their char
ters, and granted the injunction per-
pctual. This decision protects the
Railroad Companies from threatened
conis alton, and throws the shield of
the United States around those who
would otherwise become the victims
of the powers which at present. con-
troll the State and city.-Charlsston

YOUNG NEW YORK IN TIE VAT
ICAN.

The New York correspondent OF
the Boston Jnumt tells this story :
One of our most eminent broke ers
has portion of his family travel
ing in Europe. Among them is a
young son, who is preparing by
travel to join his brothers in the
business Of the street. In com
pany with some friends he made
one of the party who We're to have
an audience with the Pope. AS is
well known, these audiences are
held in the Library Of the Vatican.
'.rhe visitors who are to have the
honor of al interview are ranged
on either side, single file. The
Pope passes down the line. AS he
passes slowly along. dev"ut Cath"-
lies kneel and kiss the slipper;
quasi Catholics kncel and kiss the
hand of His Holiness. Others stand
and salute the hand which is ex-
tended to all. The young New
Yorker was the last ON the line.
lie did not kneei to kiss the shoe,
nor did he. kiss the outstretched
hand. but seized it, and gave it a
good, / earty Yankee shake. The
CONSERVATION at the auducity or
the young man was very marked.
The Pope, who was evidently taken
by surprise, was the first to recover
himself. IIe shooS his finger
mguishIy at the youth, laid his
hand on his shoulder and said:
"You are from New York, young
man, I presume?" Il am New
Yorker" was the reply. Il thought
So" said the Poniitf, as he passed
on, intrmating that New Yorker
was quite daring enough for any
thing. When questioned how he
dared do such thing, Young
America rel lied: "Dare do it? |
shook hands with Gen. Grant and
Gen. Scott, and why should 1 not
shake hands with the Pope as with
auv other eminent man = The
affair is quite the talk of the street
where the young man IS vel

famous as the act Of Raleigh wllet
he flung his cloak i'll tile mud be-
fore Queen Bess.

A NATURAL CURIos1rY. = Silver
Spring, Florida, is one of the greateet
curiosities in the South. It bursts
forth in the midstef the most fertile
country in the State, 1t bubbles up in
. basin nearly one hundred feet deep
and about an acre in extent, and send
ing from it a deep stream sixty to one
hundred feet wide, and extending six
to eight miles to:the Ocklawaha river.
In. the spring itself fifty boats may
lie at anchor-quits a feet. The
spring thus forms a natural inland
port, to which three steamers now
run regularly from ST. Johns, making
close connections with the ocean
steamers at Philadelphia The clear
ness of the water is truly wonderful.
1t seems even more transparent than
air; you see the bottom, eighty feet
below,th bottom sot your boat; the
exact form OF the smallest. st.pebbie, the
outline and celor of the leaf that has
sunk, and all the prismatic colors Of
the rainbow arerefected.. Large fish
swim in it, every, scale. visible and
every movement distinctly seen. If
you grow 60 over the espring in boat
you will see the assures in the rock,
from which the river pouts upward
like an inverted cataract. .s'@a re y

A CURE. FOR DYspEps1A.-Tn the

A CURE FOR DYsPEpsIA.-In the
Gazehe Hrbiomattuire, Dr.. Gontaret
recommends for the form of jys-
pepsia in which there is difficulty
in the digestion Of starchy articles
of food, the use of the nitrogenous
substance developed in buds and
grains during their termination,
and known as dtause or maihne.
This substance, as is generally
known, induces in hydrated starch
the process of catalysis, by which
it is converted into dextrine and
glucose-the forms which all starch
and sugar must assume before they
are fitted for nutrition. The organ
ic matter contained in the mixed
saliva, and the fluids of the small
intestines, are, in health, sufficient
to establish this process; but in a
condition of the alminary tract
characterized by alteration or de-
ticiency of saliva or intestinal
juices, this substance promises to
do for starch and sugar in iutesti-
nal digestion what pepsine does
for the albuminoiu articles of food.
lie employs the remedy in doses of
two % six grains after each meal,
and says that it nevN acts prejudi-
eialy on the digestive organs.

The daughters Of Southern plan.
ters are now slaves in Brazil. They
emigrated thither at the close OF the
war, and was unsuccessful. The Bra
lillian laws are such that whena citi-
zen becomes in debt, if he has no
property, his children are sold as
slaves, the prices they bring going to
the payment Of the obligation. Our
friend. says the Nashville Republican
Banner, when he reached Brazil, un-
wisely. became naturalized and
South American citizen, and subject
to the laws, thus, BY his own volition,
expatriating himself from his native
country and its protection. He be-
came involved in debt to some Bra
zilians. Thus. his two daughters,
now grown Tennessee young ladies,
are slaves, doing menial work for un-
.ettered masters and mistresses in
Brazil, their price paying devoted
but unfortunate fathers debt The
amount Of the debt. we understand, is
$1,000 in gold, and steps have been
taken to have the amount placed in
tho hands Of the father. -

ANECD0TE OF BEECHER AND CHA.

During their summer vacation
Henry Ward Beecher and Dr.. Cha.

route together, and, according to
their wont, rode upon the outside.
AT one Of their stopping places on
the route a countryinan asked
them, Gould they make room for,
him up there p which they cheer
fully did. Soon after taking his
seat Mr.. Beecher entered into
conversation with him, aud finding
that lie had recently returned from
visit to New York, and, to use
his own EXPIRE ssion, had seen
enough of it, asked him if he
stopped over Sunday and went.to
meeting there lie said he had,
and went over to Brooklyn to hear
a fellow preach; he. did not hear
his name. ,....

CAPACITY OF THE HUMAN MINI

CAPACITY OF THE HUMAN MIND.
Il find this problem stated and
differently answered by different
philosophers, and apparently with
out a knowledge Of each other.
By Charles Bonnet the mind is al
lowed to have a distinct notion Of
six objects at once; by Abraham.
Tucker the number is limited to
four; while Destnctt Tracy again
ampliies it to six. The opinion
Of the first and last Of these phi
losophevs appears to me correct.
You can easily make the expert
ment for yourselves, but you must
beware of grouping the objects into
classes. II you throw a handful
Of marbles on the fooE you will
find that it is difficult to view at
once more than six, or seven at the
most, without confusion; but if you
group them in twos, or threes, or
fves, you can comprehend as many
groups as you can Units, because
the mind considers the groups only
as units; it views them as wholes,
aud throws their parts out of con-
slderation. You may perform the
experiment also by all act Of imagi-
nation.-.Sw William Hamilton.

THE FLOOD IN THE MISSISSIPPI

The Memphis appeal states that
the eaving in Of all the bluffs
on the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi, ftom Cairo to New Orleans,
has led. to- curious results. Fort
Pillow has entirely disappeared.
There is not a vestige of the
earthworks erected by General
Pillow: and others at Randolph.
I he river has cut cavernous depths
for its strong currents beneath the
everlasting hills, and these have
slowly crumbled and fallen, a grain
of sand at time, into the abysses
of the mighty deep. Now. and
then the hill.sides have disappeared
in single night, and, curiously
enough, this work Of desolation
goes. on mainly upon the eastern
side of the river. Here at Mem
phis, as .atv Vicksburg, Columbus,
Fort Pillow and Randolph, the
resistless, fathomless river, whose
course none may anticipate and
iione can resist, pursues its ap-
pointed tasks with a force and
pertinacity which has lessened
property values between Fort Pick
ering manyamillions ofIdollars.
The Mississippi sRtottis inform
ed that the high water in the bot
tom,. along the, Yazoo Valley, is
now within eighteen inches of be-
ing as high as that of 1867.
Many fine plantations are entirely
submerged, and serious apprehen-
sions are entertained that if the
food does not subside quickly.
the cotton crop of that section
will be- a failure. z The incessant
rain, in connection with the breaks
in the, Mississippi river levee, is
the cause of the overflow.

AN IDEA.-Pr0fessnr De Morga

AN IDEA.-Professor De Morgan,
the great metaphysician and math-
ematician, lately dead, preferred
during his lifetime to be account
ed.a skeptic falsely and lose by it,
rather than to be known as a
Christian and gain by it. But a
passage in his will reads thus: q
commit my future destiny with
hope derived. from experience to
Almighty God, who has been and
will be my guide and my support ;
to God, the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, Of whom I believe
in my heart that God has raised
him from the dead, and whom I
have not confessed with my mouth
in the sense usually attached to
these words, because such con-
fession has been in my time. the
only way up in the world"

How TO Grow Hoas.-A practical
breeder gives US tho following advice
which in the main, we think sound,
for those whose heard is not too large,
and who are engaged in mixed hus'
bat dry; -. 80.
"To handle hogs to the best advan.
tage, u apasture is needed of mixed
grasses, clover, blue grass and timothy,
and it is best if there is no running
water or stock ponds in tho lot.
Hogs do better where there is no
stock ponds or branches to wallow in.
In place thereof, have good well-wa-
ter pumped for them, Have troughs
made, nail strips across, eight inches
apart, to keep the hogs from lying in
tho water, and let the hogs be put on
floors, to keep them from digging up
wallowi"g holes. IF any feed be
given it should be soaked in will bar.
rcls for twelve hours before feeding
no longer and fed to them as drink
