SALT.
The committee of ways and means
to-day continued the hearing of the
salt dealers. Judge COmstOck said that
the individual consumption Of salt
was thirty.three pounds to each indi-
| vidual annually, the duty being six
/ cents, which would not buy as good a
cigar as any gentleman OF the COM
mittee would smoke, The point made
was that such repeal or sudden violent
change in salt would destroy that in
terest. John F. briggs said if salt
had sold anywhere as high as three
dollars per bushel, it was from some
extraordinary causes. Mr. Fitzhugh,
president OF the Saginaw Manufactur-
ing company, agreed with the views
expressed by Judge COmstock, show
ing that it was impossible for salt man.

Sauth Carolina Game Law.

BY recent enactments of tho General
Assembly of South Carolina, the old
and long obsolete game laws of the State
are revived and drclared apart OF The
statute law. AS matter Of interest to
those of our readers who are fond OF tho
chase, wc givoa summary Of tho provi-
sions of these laws. Tt is declared un-
lawful for any one to kill doe or iawn
from the first day of January to the last
day of July in any year, Or to kill buck
from tho first of September to the last
Friday in October, or from the first OF
March to the last day of April in any
year. And the period when it shall be
unlawful to kill o doe is extended to the
first Of September. The penalty for a
violation of either of these provisions is
fine of ten dollars, while the same PEN
atty is attached to fire hunting at any
time, with an additional penalty of twen-
ty-five dollars for every deer and fifty
dollars for every horse or head of neat
cattle killed while SO doing, Another
equally important provision attaches a
fine of ten dollars to any one who shall
hunt on any lands whatsoever at great
or distance from his or her place of resi-
dence than seven miles, withoutthe con-
sent of the proprietor; and also declar.
ing every entry upon the enclosed or un-
enclosed lands Of another, after notice
from the owner or tenant prohibiting it,,
misdemcanor punishable with fine or
imprisonment, or both. In case of a
failure, on conviction, Ito pay the fines,
one half of which goes to the informer,
the trial justice before whom the case is
tried is required to commit the convicted
party to Jail for periods not exceeding
two or three months, according to the Of

A New Production Adapted to the
Sonthern States.

Our attention has been called BY Hon.
VIM. D. Kelly to an article not now pro-
duced in the country, but which is especr-
ally adapted tothe climate and soil Lot our
Southern States, The liquorice root now
imported from Spain, Italy, Sicily and
France is especially adapted to the soil Of
Eastern Virginia AMI North Carolina, and
many of the Westefn States could also
make it profitable article of Culture
From ten to twelve million pounds are
imported every year into this country, eli
ther in the crude OF. manufactured state,
1t is largely used by tobacco manufacture
ers and Ior medical purposes, and some few
are engaged in making it.ipto paste for
meriy obtained entirely from Europe A.
slight duty now exists on manufactured
liquorice, and this should be maintained .
also, let the rough article be sufficiently
taxed to encourage-our& Southern farmers
to invest in its cultivation. The root is
grown in England, and yields FIVE hundred
dollars to the acre. Here, or in the South
it would yieid three or four times that
amount. The root is worth from five to
ten cents per pound, according to.quafAy,
three pounds Of root being used to. make
one pound of paste necessary to the manr

For the Advertiser.

To the Memory of Mary Eliza Jones'
Winter is gone, and now in numbers low
There comes whisper of loveliel
hour
The virgin spring-her garlands fiecked
with dew,
Breathing sweet incense over grove
and bower.
Upon her pure fair brow radiant crown,
No sheen of emeralds with her robes
compare,
A rainbow spans the aisles she treads
upon
And chimes of gladness fill the per-
fumed air.
But where is she, who ono short year ago,
Made home SO happy with her joyous
smile?
Sweet type of spring upon whose lovely
brow
Shone every virtue, gave no sign of
guile.
Just sweet sixteen, the glad spring-time
of life,
When hearts beat high with hope and
joy and love;
The beauteous maiden took q seraph's
FORM.
Plumed her bright wings, and sought
the realms above.
Oh it was sad to see the loved one fade,
To droop and pale and die and pass
away;
To sit beside her couch, and mark the
sign,
The hectic flush thatwhispers of decay.
To see the eye grow bright with hidden
fires,
: Which scorch and wither cen the fount
of life;
To pray and wrestle with the God who
gave
To faint with anguish in the spirits
strife.
'Tis sad to see the loveliest fairest one
Ofal the throng of:youthfulm maidens go;
To press the sod above the late bright
form,
To leave her lying in the valley low.
But oh! so sweet to know how dearly
loved
BY mates and teachers was your pre-
f.io,c ona.
To mark the tokens when the birthday
came,
Offerings from hearts her innocencehad
won.
The Stepping Heavenward," "oh how
true it was
Her steps were bent to that fair blissful
shore!
Not loving kindred, teachers, mates could
keep
Their precious darling for one birth day
Bit te"dcr parents, wipe your weeping
eyes
With sister angels does yourloved one
dwell;
The beaNte1us yestal kneels before the
And joins the chorus which the arches
swell.
