BLACKBERRIES.

The wild blackberry is 80 prolific on
these islands that some method of
making the spontaneous crop profitable
has often attracted the attention Of
residents. Many attempts have been
made in this direction. Several have
years past experimental in wine max
ing; some have tried vinegars but all
failed to find remunerative market for
the product.
Mr.. W. II. Mather, this year has un.
dertaken the manufacture of wine
stock from the blackberry. For this
material there is a limited market,
which heretofore has been supplied
from Germany ard France. In its
preparation enough French spirits
are added to the pure juice to prevent
fermentation. The stock is used in the
manufacture of port and claret wines.
OF course, as in other new ventures d.f-
ficulties have been encountered; these
have been generally from lack of expe-
rience. But really the most serious is
one least expected. Notwithstanding
the incxhaustible quantity growing
wild in every field, and by every road,
and the equally plentiful supply of idle
and poor children on the islands. not
one-third ofthe berries wanted has been
obtained. The price paid has been
sixtv-fye cents per bushel, a sum suffi
cieut to pay airy child Of ten years and
upward from fifty cents to dollar a
per day during the season.
Another serious drawback to enter
prise in this direction was found in the
internal revenue laws which made it
necessary to take out a distilers ii
cense. costing two hundred dollars.
This would not have so bad if the
whole busin, SIS could have been con-
ducted under one license; Mr.. Mather
had intended to press the berries at
several other points where supplies OF
them was obtainable, bu! a license was
demanded at each point.
Mr.. Mathcr hoped to have put up
this season hundred barrels but it is
doubtful if he obtains more than hall
that quantity-the lack of berries be-
ing the main cause.

BOreas on a Bender.

The storm of Saturday afternoon
was very severe in Charleston and
vicinity. The frames of several new
houses in the city were blowA down; a
whirlwind in Wentworth street de-
stroyed many trees entirely and injur-
ed nearly all; street cars were blown
from the track; fences, shingles,
branches and sign boards so obstructed
the railway tracks as to suspend travel
More than twenty frame buildings were
either destroyed or injured; fences
were prostrated and trees uprooted in
every part of the city.
A large shed, two hundred and
twenty feet long, on the wharf north
of that of the Savannah and Charles
ton Railroad and used by Messrs. Daw-
son d Baker for storing phosphate
rock, was completely demolished and
levelled with the ground, along with a
house on the same wharf and leased by
the same firm.
Part of the large shed over the Sa'
vannah and Charleston Railroad was
also blown off, and the tin peeled Lack,
and small house on the wharf, be-
longing to the Telegraph Company,
was also blown overheard. The Office
of the Telegraph Company, on the op'
posite side of the river, was also blown
from the wharf, and two truck cars
were lifted from the track and badly
shattered.
The shipping in the harbor escaped
with little or no damage. One schoor
er was blown from her mooring a.
Adger's wharf, but with no seriou:
results, and no other accidents have
been reported. tits probable that th'
threatening aspect Of the clouds gavt
sufficient warning to the small Graf
With which the harbor is general,
filed, and these were not backward IL
getting into positions Of safety.
No loss Of life is reported.

The Collection of Taxes.

The Ohio legislature has just passed
a bill; changing the mode of collecting
taxes, the main provisions of which,
we think, would be equally applicable
to the condition of affairs in this State.
If the simultaneous collection of taxes
in such wealthy community as Ohio
produces a stringency injurious to
business. how much more is the relief
needed in this impoverished State.
Some Of our ipcipient legislators may
benefit the State and gain glory for
himself by getting up similar bill for
presentation next winter to The assem-.
hled statesmen at Columbia.
TIE requires the commissioners
of each county to divide the county in
to five collection districts and provides
for the collection Of the fl st half Of the
taxes in these districts ronsccutively in
months Of October. \ Jvember, Dc GEM
Der, January and February respective
lv. closing Oh the Doth of each month
and the second half in the months OF
April, May, June July and August.
The months Of March and September
are left for the closing Of books The
bill further provides that when the
time for collection in each district ends.
the county treasurer is required on the
order of the Auditor Of State to pay
over to the State Treasurer the taxes
collected in such district for State pur'
pnse. as near as can then be estimated
in anticipation of settlement; and also
on the demand of treasurers of town
ships, cities or villages, if included in
whole or in part in such district, to
I pay to such treasurcrs the taxes colec
ted for them as near as can be esti'
mated.
The object sought is expressed tc
some extent in the title Of the bill: "Tt
prevent the unnecessary accumulation
Of money in the public treasury;" but
it also seeks to relieve the stringency
that is now felt all over the State twice
year at tax paying times by collect
ing from the various districts at difer'
ent times, and providing for the dis
bursement of the funds, so far as car
be without waiting for the semi-annua,
settlements, thus making the money
flow out while it is being gathered into
The county treasures.

The Diplomatic Middle.

Our foreign relations, especially with
England, are becoming Pickwicklan in
their gr0teSquencSS. At one time the
tcleg aph advises Us Of a note from 0exs
Secretary o.! State, Of portcntous signii-
cameo, enclosing a thunderbolt Of war,
which will cause the British Lion to roar
with fury. In a few hours, We receive
another dispatch, saying that the note Of
our Government WAS Sweetened with all
the usual diplomatic condiments, and
was received with ii smirk by John Bull.
This kind Of sensational tlummery is car
red on for a month or two under the at
tractive headings, "War with England,'
Consequential Damages Insisted pom
by our Government and such ike
catch penny Sensational features, until. at
last; it all SINNERS down to an inmate
rial additional article to the treaty, pro-
posel by England, which is in effect,
that both governments agree that our
Government never had the right to claim :
consequential damages, although it did
30, and that. hereafter. it will never do
so again. Which England affirming all
the while that We never had the right to
do So at any time, and that she never in
tended topsy or submit to, and neyerin.
tended to ask, in any similar case, now
magnanimously agrees to consent that Il.
future she will never do what she de-
clares she never intended to do. And
thus endeth this lesson in diplomatic cor
respondenee, the solution of which am
straightforward business man, of good
common sense, could have developed in
an hours application. 1t really appears
as if statesmen, OF late, are addicted to
making mountains OFT Of mole hills, ind
order to exhibit their greatness in their /

THE U. S. TAX LANDS.

Mr.. K'rr ofIndiana On Friday last,
called up the Senate Bill providing for
the redemption and sale of lands held
by the United States under the several
Acts levying direct taxes, and moved
substitute for such Bill, providing
that all the land now owned or held by
the United States by virtue of proceed
ings under the Act Of June 1th, 1862,
and other Acts for the collection of di
rect taxesi in the einsurrectionary States,
NAV be redeemed and restored to their
original owners within two years On
payment of the tax and costs with in
terest thereon. The applicants also TO
pay the value Of permanent improve
ments that may have been made by
other persons after acquisition of the
property by the United States. Prop
erty not claimed after two years is to be
sold at public auc ion. The Act is
not to apply to property used in whole
or part as natural cometaries or other
public purposes. Purchasers of prop
erty from the United States who have
lost it through the inability to establish
titles, are to be reimbursed by the
| Government. The substitute was
; agreed TO and the Bill passed.
The bill. therefore. was sent back to
the Senate. Whether it passed or not
we have not learned. Even if it did
not it may be taken up at the next sas-
sior by the Senate aud become law.
This is a very liberal hill to all par
ties in interest. The old owners will
get back all land now in possession OF
The United States upon payment of the
taxes and costs up to the day Of sale.
Army and navy purchasers who
have failed to complete their titles will
! get back all they have paid the govern
ment and the property will be thrown
open to redemption by the former own
ers.
We estimate the amount of money to
he returned to army and navy pur'
chasers at not less than one hundred
thousand dollars. This will come, in
most instances, to very needy persons
Many lots in town were bought by col
ored soldiers who We're flush when the
sale took place, but who, when three
years had passed and the balance came
due, were entirely destitute. Many
parcels of plantation land were bought
bv clubs of laborers, who we're in the
same manner deceived as to their abil
ity to pay three-fourths when it came
due. The distribution of the money tC
be refunded by the United States viii
thus be very general, all classes shar
ing in it. The effect cannot fail to be
an importapteiement to our prosperity
for it will be the addition of just thai
amount to our scanty capital.

THE LAST CHANCE.

After the issue of this paper on
Thursday, May 80, there will remain
only two days, Friday and Saturday,
in which delinquent tax payers can
save their lands from sale. We urge
every man to ascertain, ifhe has the
slightest doubt on the subject, whether
there is anything due the State from
his land. The fact that you paid the
tax Of 1870 and 1871 is DO surety that
your LANDS will not be sold; for if the
tax Of 1863 is unpaid. when probably ii
belonged to another person, the sale
will be made.
