Current Notes.

The members of the British Parliament do
their legislative work for nothing, and those
of the Dominion Parliament get each but one
thousand dollars per year. The Toronto
Globe fails to see the wisdom, of this, as it es-
tablishes in either case a heavy property
qualification. 1t is patent that man, if not
born rich, must acquire independence in or
der to be able to enter Parliament, all other
things being in his favor; and by that means
some of the best men and the most honest are
shut out from participation in State affairs.
Unreasonable Boston papers complain of
the disparity between an appropriation of
$4,000 for soup for the city poor and one of
$41, 900 for refreshments for the City Gov

1t is the constant companion and estImable friend
of the missionary and the traveller and land,

1t has been before the public thirty years. and
probably has wider and better reputation than any
other proprietary medicine of the present day. At
this period there are but few unacquanted with the
merits of the but while some extol it as
IMMINENT, they know but little of its power in cas-
ing pain when taken internally, while others use ie
internally with great success but are equally igno-
rant OF its healing virtues wle applied externally
We therefore wish to say to all that it is equally
cessful whether used internally externally and it
stands to-day, unrivaed by all the great catalogue
of fami medicines 1t is sufficient evidence of its
virtues a standard medicine, to know that it is
now used in all parts of the world aud that its sale
constantly increasing. No curative agent has had
such wide spread sale or given such universal salts

fectly safe in unskilful hands.
After thirty trial. is still receiving the most
unqualified testimonials to its virtues, from persons
Of the highest character and responsibility Physi

1T Is said that Congressman are opposed to
an increase of taxation to afford the Govern
ment sufficient revenues to carry on our ma
tional affairs on the scale contemplated by
the estimates. There is certainly but one
way to avoid it and that is to cut down the
appropriations. In this work there will be a
fine opportunity for the industrious and am
bilious Congressman to make himself illustri-
GUS in the eyes of the people. None of those
gentlemen who made speeches in the Missis-
sippi Valley meeting can apply until they
have experienced radical change of views.

The Excursion.

On the morning of the 1lth instant, a
select party left the dock at Beaufort, by
invitation of NJ. Politzer, Esq, in the yacht
Anna, for sail to the sea. Among the
party was a merchant, physician, civil
engineer, a salesman, a sailor, and lastly
an editor. Here were sagacity, scientific
attainment, mathematical accuracy, suavi-
tv. nautical skill, and conceded combina
ton of all the above qualities and many
more. OF course the provisions were not
left behind. Hunger and thirst were anti
cipared and means were taken to satisfy
their demands. A spanking breeze, a sau-
cy craft and jovial crew. We were
happy. After stretch Of five miles out
toward the light-ship, we made for Bay
Point beech. Before reaching it, however.
the merchant and the engineer were
noticably quiet, while the editor retired for
meditation. Old Neptune demanded q
tribute, but failed. Though he made
some feel qualmish, all was forgotten
when the breeze sprang up again and Bay
Point landing was made. A lunch spread
out on an improvised table i'll one Of the
deserted houses speedily disappeared.
Monongahela and California contributed
the fluids, Maine the ice. Again we were
happy.
Then q stroll on the beach to search
for shells, and watch the breakers. Others
searched for the body of the drowned
sailor, which had been reported as lying
exposed on the shore. Near the old
wharf, it was found. The arm and hand
being above the ground. Those who bur-
led it only had an oar with which to dig q
shallow grave in the light, shifting sand,
and the wind desplaced the thin
covering. The flesh uptn the limb and
haud was strangely preserved. The party
then determined, at the suggestion Of Mr..
Politzer, to return and give this poor waif
of ocean cast upon our shores a decent
burial, where he may lie undisturbed until
the end of time. This resolution will be
carried out on Sunday next. A coffin and
headboard will be prepared and the body
will be buried on the parapet of Fort
Beauregard
A pleasant breeze bore US to Beaufort
where we landed just as the golden moon
was pouring a food Of light upon ou1
beautiful town-the fairest spot on earth

Death of Hon. James L. Orr.

The announcement of the death OF this
prominent and distinguished citizen of the
State will be received with sincere sorrow
throughout the land, The telegraph IL
forms us that he died suddenly in st
Petersburg on the 9th instant, from iniH-
nation of the lungs. Judge Orr has COM
manded Il conspicuous and influential pos
itiou in the political arena OF the State
from the time of his first entry into public
life until his death.
As an orltory SAYS the CT0sL"tHh, he
was not great, nor was he man OF pol
ishcd scholarship, nor Of deep crudItlon.
His learning was that which came from
observation and the study OF men, rather
than of his books. His intuition of human
character and the springs which govern
IN, actions of men was wonderful. and
rendered himpcrhaps the most slgacious
and far.sceing politician the State Las
ever produced.
II ia the weakness Of most men in our
democratic country, even those OF grcat
intellectual abilities, to become dcvotccS
of party, aud to lose sight. in great meas
ure. of the objects at which all political or.
conizations aim in their advocacy of the or
saniza,ion itself. Judge Orr was never so.
ae would change his views Of public poll
CIV at any time his judgment so dictated,
not as was sometimes said by his oppon'
nents, for The sake Of his personal advance
ment. but, because, to hin, the common
interested demanded it.
He was singularly independent in his
public action, and time aud again threw
himself directly in opposition to the cur
rent opinion of the great majority OF the
people Of his State.
In private life Judge Orr was genial
and generous, and made for himself
host Of warm personal friends.
The State which he loved and served so
well will sadly miss him.

Gov. Moses OH Rice.

Messrs. Duryea & Cohen, Of Charles
ton, recently addressed letter to Gov.
Moses, informing him that certain capi-
talists contemplated the purchase of a
large tract Of land on the Santee river for
the purpose of c,iltivating rice on a large
scale. They asked for the Governors
views as to the manner in which foreign
labor would be received, and as as to the
rights of labor in this state. The Gov
ernor replies in a long letter. He says
capital will be welcomed, but recon-
mends that negro labor be employed in
the culture of rice. The following is one
of his finest sentences
''Thcse children of torrid cline
from the land of thesun-bear cheerfully
the MONDAY blaze, and sleep unframed
amid noxious vaporS that would, to the
white man, prove the wings ofdeath. "
The Columbia Herald says the letter
is exhaustive.
