States Treasury note is fast approxi
mating par. The day is apparently
not far distant when the Government
will resume specie payments, the de
lay in resumption being, no doubt, ir
a great measure, due to the important
consideration that about 100000, ,O0C
|lof our bonds, bearing coin interest
are held in Europe, chiefly for specu.
lative purposes ; and a sudden resump,
ton of specie payments would in
stantly be followed BY drain of our
specie to Europe, and thus defeat the
prime object of such resumption
Doubtless, the resumption of specie
payments will be effected in good sea-
son, and ina mode least calculated to
disturb Che values dependent upon
ordinary relations of gold to currency
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE
This very full and interesting docu-
ment has already been laid before
your honorable bodies, and, therefore,
it is useless for me to make synopsis
of the valuable information which it
contains. Il desire, however, to call
your attention to the very satisfactory
manner in which the late Secretary of
State has performed those special
duties of his Office in connection with
the sale of the State lands, and the
settlement thereon Of persons whom
he seems to have. selected with great
care and rare discrimination. Should
this admirable system, which be has
begun, be pursued by his accomplished
successor, OF which [ have no doubt,
the day is not far distant when the
poor people of South Carolina will
have learned to appreciate, in some
degree, at least, the full value of the
"Land Commission" which was jni-.
tiated for grand and noble purposes
The late Secretary has been greatly
aided, he mentions in his report, in
the execution Of his trust as land
agent, by the energy and untiring
zeal, manifested by his two principal
assistants, Mcssrs. W. r. Jones andsJ.
E., Green. The work of the former
speaks for itself in the carefully pre-
pared papers and tables on file in the
office of the Secretary of State; and
l take pleasure in being able to com
mend the services Of the latter, by
my personal knowledge of the labors
he has performed in m any counties of
the State. "

THE STATE ORPHAN ASYLUM.

= l herewith transmit the annual
report of the Board of Trustees of
the State Orphan Asylum, with the
report of the principal of the institu-
ton. 1t appears from these reports
that there are 140 inmates in the
asylum, of whom there are II toys
and SO girls. All the children are
colored. ia
The number, at the date of the last
annual report, was IA. Since that
report thirty-seven children have
been admitted, nineteen have been
delivered to parents, and twenty-five
have died. The number of deaths, it
will be perceived, has been enormous,
in proportion to the number Of chill
ldren, amounting to about sixteen per
cent. This is sta aftlingly great NOR.
tality, in view of the exceptionally
healthy year in the city in which the
asylum is situated.
1t, must, be accounted for, in part
by the fact, nosed by, the Board Of
Trustees, that the building is damp
and unhealthy, and requires very
great repairs and improvements to fit
| II for an asylum for children. In its
present !. condition, it is manifestly
unfit for that purpose. ,,-Ilns children
too, stand greatly in noed OF flannel

A DETERMINED Doe Passengers in
the o train Sunday. on the Boston
and Providence road, were quietly inter
ested in a pointer dog. The canine
would not violate the rules which forbid
passengers to stand on the platform, and
he was too modest to enter the passenger
car, which was crowded, principally by
ladies'. His master was in a dilemma.
and before he had time to resolve what
to do the train started, and so did the
dog. The locomotive whistle screeched,
and the dog yelped defiance as the race
began. At times the ambitious animal
would be ahead of the engine, and then
he would fall behind. Every window in
the train had a head or two peering out
watching the race, and all sympathized
with the dog. He seemd to realize that
he was an object of interest, as he would
make an occasional squirt and show ter
rife speed. Between the Health-street
Station and Boylston the Stony Brook
runs'under the railroad, and the bridge
Is not planked. The pointer went pell-
nell between the guides and down into
h stream. But he suddenly emerged
and regained the track, and reached Bowl
SION just as the train stopped. Had it
been any other day than Sunday, the dog
would have been saluted with hearty
cheers by the ladies and gentlemen whose
interest he excited. As it was, he gave
three yelps for himself and almost inset
his master, SO glad was he at meeting
him on terra firma.-Boston Times

JIM NYE IN PARIS.

II seems that ex-senator James W.
Nye, dubbed by his once admirmg con-
stituents the ~"Gray-eyed Eagle of Free
dom" has betaken himself TO Paris. 1t
seems moreover, that he is a conspic-
nous social figure in the gay French cap
ital, at least so says the New York World,
which prints the following
His works do not follow him as in lit
any, but they go before him, as the fire
went before Cassandra, and gid his way.
Newspapers groan with his biography.
Legislative bodies invite him to a seat Of
honor within their chambers. He gets
tickets to unexpected balls. The driver
of the yoiture calls him excellency, the
concierge groyels before him. tits likely
that in some cases the Grant patriot
came away from home without knowing
how great a man he was. A prophet
hath little honor in his own country
and here Congressman and Senator's, not
to mention governors, brigadier-generals,
and other citizens of titular eminence,
are so very cheap that the appearance of
them excites little emotion. They come
and go without producing any noticeable
effect upon society, and without other
celebration than the record of their
names upon the hotel register. 1t is not
so in Paris. There, a patriot Of transat-
lantic breed is regarded as an object of
curiosity and wonder. When he strolls
forth upon the boulevard, interested eyes
follow him, contemplating his fine swag-
ger, his dignitied abdominal plentitude,
attenuation of his coat-tails. At the cafe
the garcon reverently spills coffee down
the patriots back in his eagerness to
serve. At the opera ~lorgnettes are bent
upon him. In the salon statesmen who
do not understand his language hang
upon his accents. He is likened to
Washington. He tastes the sweets of
fame. He does not speak French, and is
not compelled to Justify his claims to re-
nown-he finds them already discounted
and the proceeds placed to his credit.
And SO he draws upon them with noble
liberality as one who, having come into
unexpected fortune, spends lavishly,
disappearing the expense.
Nye seems to be the last American
statesman whose fame has taken the
French capital by storm. He dawns
upon Lutetia as morning upon the Ap-
penles-a rosy vision, towering and
splendid. Scraps of his biography
sibylline leaves, light fragments from the
golden book in which the silver apples
of his achievement are pictured-have
been waited thither. They have heard
of his wit, of the chaste delicacy of his
%equivoques, of his skill as a ranconteur.
But especially they have heard that he
franked his linen home to Nevada to be
washed that he once franked a hoe
that he tried to frank a meeting house
that he actually did frank a houseful of
furniture, including a dog-chnrn and a
piano.
