GUANo an OLD INsTITUTION.-Someth
turns up every day, which proves that Solomon
was right when he declared "rhere is no new
thing under the sum-" Guano, for instance, is
popularity supposed to be modern discovery,
and it is only within comparatively recent
period that it has become an article of COM
mercc-say within the last thirty years. 1t has
also been question among our planters what
soils were best adapted to the fertilizing infu-
ences of guano; and only careful experiment
has demonstrated its peculiar fitness for certain
conditions of the earth. The following extract,
taken from a very rare work in the possession
of General Johnson Hagood, will show how far
behind other centuries we are in our knowledge
of this article. The book referred to is entitled,
can Account of European Settlements in
America, in six parts, by Edmund Burke, pub
lshcd in 1757" The author writes:
"Guinea pepper, agi, or, rs it is called by us,
Cayenne pepper, is a great article in the trade
of Peru, as it is used all over Spanish America
in almost everything they eat. This is produced
in the greatest quantity in the Valley of africa,
district in the southern part of Peru, from
whence they export to the annual value of six
hundred thousand pounds. The district which
produces this pepper in such abundance is but
small, and naturally barren. Its fertility in
pepper rs well us III Sralu aIlu iIuilS, Is oWiHS
to the advantage of species of very extraor-
dinary manure brought from the Island of
Iquiqua This is a sort of yellowish earth, of
a fetid smell. 1t is generally thought to be the
excrement of birds, because of the similarity of
odor, and that feathers have been found very
deep in il. Vast numbers of sea-fowl also ap-
pear upon that and the adjacent coast. On the
other hand, whether We look upon this sub
stance as the dung of these sea.fowl, or par
ticular species of earth, it is difficult to con-
teive how the small island of Iquiqua, not
above two miles in circumference, could supply
such immense quantities; and yet, after sup
plying twelve ship-loads annually for century
to go to distant ports, and a vast quantity for
the use of the neighborhood, it cannot be OBJ
served that it is in the least diminished, or that
the height of the island is at all lessened. But
these are matters which, handled properly, re-
quire more exact knowledge of all the cir
cumstances relating to them than can be gath
cred from travellers"
These are strange historical facts, and will
not be without interest to those who use the
widely popular article Of guano.-C Charleston

- Florida is the only State in which the
Governor has q cabinet of heads of thevarious
executive departments analogous to the Cabi-
net at Washington; and of this refinement,
which was brought into the State at the framing
of the reconstructed constitution, Governor
Reed has no high opinion. His cabinet minis
ters display the highest promptitude on pay
day, but are hard to assemble when his Excel
lency would bask in the effulgence of their
united wisdom.
- Commissioner Pleasanton advises repeal
of the income tax on the frivolous and illogical
pretext that the cost of its collection exceeds
the amount derived from it; not seeing that
this vefy circumstance is the strongest argu-
ment in its favor, showing conclusively that it
affords more governmental patronage in pro-
portion than any other system of taxation yet
devised.

of the next Teachers Institute: "The verb SIS

A TIMELY SUGGEsrIoN.-A member of the
New York Bar suggests that a fund be raised
for the support Of Judge Taney's daughter,
who areanow dependent upon inadequate CLERK
ships in Washington, by the Bar of the United
States. These young ladies are highly cultiva-
ted and accomplished, but the honesty of their
father and his devotion to the duties of the
high office, which he SO long held, caused them
to be left ut his death utterly pennies. The
proposition is that each member of the Bar
contribute five dollars, which is to be sent to
Mr.. Charles O'Conner, tho leading member of
the New York Bar, for investment for the ben
eft of the needy young ladies.

How acceptable this decision may be, or
whether to the advantage OF disadvantage Of
the majority Of the people residing ia the two

much we must acknowledge; tbSt old aSsocia-
tons and ties, tender memories and feelings Of

proud that it was the soil Of the Ola Dominion
that gave us birth-that our years had been
passed under her skies, than which bluer and
brighter never smiled on mortal's path.
For the new State its fame has yet to 30 made
its record written as years shalt add-mayw we
not hope 7-to its dignity in the roll Of States.
Thus far its history has been merely that Of a
set Of political wire-workcrs, to accomplish
whose ends it was created-or rather torn from
the parent State. Its foundation unconstitu-
tioual without reference to law or right, it was
intended and did serve purpose during the
late war for which its existence is no longer
necessary, but having grown somewhat in
power and fourisbed beyond the expectations
of its founders, it still holds its place and will
doubtless do so as long as the Union exists
It's future is before it--possibly the past may
be redeemed-and right legislation and Just
Executive in time gain for it a portion of the
respect and admiration, if not the reverence
and love which we and all true Nirguians are
wont to accord to our dear old mother State
TO which we are thus reluctantly, and with
feelings Of sadness which We cannot forbcar ex-
pressing, compelled to bid final adieu. God
bless and prosper the Old State as well is pro
tect and guide the new ouc-our heart is large
enoughFor both, but the new love may never

Death of Bishop Andrew.

Rev. w. V. TUDoR telegraphs to the editor
of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist, from
New Orleans, announcing the death in Mo
bile on the ID of March, of Bishop ANDREW,
whose funeral was to have taken place on Fri
day.
Bishop Andrew was the senior Bishop OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He
was elected and ordained Bishop at the Cen
eral Conference held at Philadelphia in May,
1892, with the late Dr. John Emory. Bishop
Andrew was about seventy-six years Of age,
and had been in the ministry more than half a
century He was an able and eloquent preach
er, and a faithful and afIectionate pastor. He
filled the high and important position of a
general superintendent with remarkable fdel-
ty, frmness and apostolic simplicity and purity.
Thus has he finished his course with joy, leay-
ing his "mantle fresh with the odorS of the
sanctuary"

The Army in Elections.

In the Senate, on the lst instant, when the
Army Appropriation bin was taken up, Mr.
salisbury Of Delaware, opposed its passage be
cause Of the rejection Of his amendment pro
hbiting the expenditure Of any Of the money
appropriated by the bill for the payment Of
troops at elections. He regarded that rejection
as sufficient indication that the dominant party
intended to use the army TO carry the elections.
He said there was a man at the other end Of the
avenue who, though unlettercd and knowing
little Of his country's history, possessed an iu-
domitable will and undoubted courage. When
the House Of Representatives came 10 count
the electoral vote Cor the mex, President that
man would perhaps be found to be a willing
instrument in employing the army, to whose
support the Senate was now aPpropratiug this
money, in rc-cstablishmcut Of himself for four
years more. He Salisbury would now serve
notice on the dominant party that if the Demo
Gratis. by a fair vote elected their nominee for
President they intended to inauSurate him if
they had to wade knee deep in blood.
The bill was then passed.

the verge Of a glorious success IN the future,
the 'ruitiou Of which is the possession OF the
Presidential office and the control Of the nation

very small things. Great events have been
moved from their original centres by unbalanc-
ing the pivot OF demoralizing the leverage; and
this may be done again.
The article from which this is taken is adj
dressed to the Democratic Party Of New York
but word or two might with equal propriety
have been spoken to the Conservative masses
Of the South. 1t is our purpose briefly to sup
ply the omission. The duty before US is plain :
We must, first Of all, perfect our local organi-
cations, and the movement inaugurated in
Portsmouth is one which should be generally
followed throughout the State.
We all remember the fable of the bundle Of
sticks, and just now We are sensible Of pain
full degree Of individuality in our ranks. This
must be succeeded by the power which belongs
only to organized forces, and the time has come
for US to act on suggestion. But, this is not
all. There is a higher duty still which we owe
to ourselves, our party, our State, and our
country. We sum this up in one wOrd-pru-
dencc. There arc occasions when this is a
" damuaJlc virtue" but this is not one Of
them. We should avoid giving any topics to
the Committee on Outrages. Let us bear vet
4 little longer the ills we suffer with our old
fortitude. Let US keep in mind that every rash
act we commit is just SO much capital paid into
the Radical bank on the faith of which they
will issue their lavorite currency of lies at our
expense. If We will only be true to ourselves

Virginia Cases in the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of the United States
on Monday rendered two important decisions.
The first settles the question of the validity of
the ccssion Of the counties of Jefferson and
Berkeley Virginia, to West Virginia, in favor
Of the latter, on the ground that the question
was decided by the election of the people Of
those counties on the subject, the allegation of
fraud being not sustained. The second was in
the case of McVeigh, citizen of Richmond,
Va, against whom proceeding was institut-
cd by the United States Circuit Court for Vir-
ginia to confScate his property in Alexandria
lie appeared in that court by counsel, but
the Judge struck out his claim and answer, on
the ground that he was a rebel and had no
standing in court The Supreme Court gives
a very decided repulse to this kind of Justice,
holding that the liability to be sued carries
with it the right of defense, and that a differ
ent result would be blot on the jurisprudence
aud civilization Of the country" The case,
therefore, was remauded, with instructions to
the court below to proceed in it in conformity
with law The court made a similar decision
in the case Of Alex. Y. 2. Garrett, Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the questions involved being
precisely the same as presented in the case of
McYcigh Baltimore SIN.
