Tho President and south Carolina.

An account has been published of the re.
cent interview between the President and
representatives of the South Carolina tax
payers, in which IL Is stated that he express
ed himself in indignant and even rude
language to the delegation on account of
an alleged personally offensive speech in
the tax payers convention in South Caro-
lima, made by some obscure IN EN- ber. This
person was not a member of tho committee
which had the interview with President
Grant, nor had his speech any sanction
from the convention. 1t seems scarcely
credib BILE that under any circumstances snch
an appeal as that made Ivy the robbed and
helpless Taxpayers should have been treat
ed by the President Of this great country,
with reference to any personal considera.
ton, and least OF all to petty Outburst of
vituperation for which tho convention was
in no way responsible. 1t may be that what
the Taxpayers asked for was impraOtible,
and that they were mistaken in supposing
| that If the power OF the Federal government
| could be enlisted in behalf OF those who
were plundering Louisiana X could be
used in the relief from plunder Of the hon.
est people of South Carolina. This q Ques.
! ton which must stand upon its own merits
and had nothing 10 do with either laudato.
| ry or denunciatory speeches Of Gen. Grant
| in tho tax payers convention. Hence, II is
difficult to believe thattbe President, as re.
ported, expressed himself intemperately
and insultingly TO the South Carolina com.
mittee III the manner and for the caus @
alleged, The condition of that State Is so
deplorabe, the wrongs aud outrages which
it has suffered are SO intolerable, that the
protests of its people might command u
respectful hearing from any department of
the government. Yet whether the report
OF the Presidents allnsions to tho speech
in the convention he true or faise, it is clear
ly due to the position both of Executive and
! Congress, as we'll as to their own dignity
, and self.respect, that conventions and others
| seeking federal lnterposition in behalf OF
. their object should suppress, IL possible, or
, promptly disown ebulltions Of passion, ,
which may be used as pretexts to bring
down vengeance upon whole communities.
The South in tho past has been misrepre-
sented, like other sections, by ultraists, and
e the sufferings which have becn entailed up
on the moderate men Of the community in
consequence ought to be warning for all
\ u.4e against permitting impIactIcable zeal

Veteran JOkers,

The Duke of Wellington and Lord
Brougham were utterly unlike in tenn
permanent and tastes, and used to say
sharp things to each other, though
with perfect courtesy and good nature.
Here is specimen of their method of
joking:
Lord Brougham, who invented the
vehicle now known by his name, was
met in the House of Lords by the Duke
of Wellington, who, accosting him with
a low bow, said
81 have always been under the i'm
preston that your lordship would go
down to posterity as the great apostle
of education, the emancipator of the
negro, the restorer of abused charities,
the reformer of the law. But no-you
you will hereafter be known only as the
inventor of carriage"
To this Brougham replied by reciting
those things by which he had imagined
the Duke would be remembered, add
ing
But no-your Grace will be known
as the inventor of pair of boots.
The Duke was defeated and made a
strong remark about having forgotten
the boots.

How They Make Ice in India.

In the warm countries of Europe ice
is manufactured by the use of ether,
but this would be very costly process
in India, and would place it entirely
out Of the reach of the mass of the peo-
pie. Their own method for manufac-
turing ice, although slow one, is very
simple, and costs nothing.
They have discovered by observation
what we are taught in natural philoso-
ply, that during the day the earth alb
serbs heat, and during the night it
gives it out-or, to speak more proper
ly, radiates heat.
This is much more noticeable in trop-
ical than in temperate countries. They
know also by experience that, in order
to enjoy the GOODNESS of night, they
must avoid the shade of trees, and lie
out in the open places. The reason of
this, perhaps, they do not know, which
is that the branches of the trees inter-
fere with this radiation. Without rea.
soning on these facts, the East In
dian acts upon them, and uses his
knowledge of them in manufacturing
ice.
In an open space, where there are no
trees, parallel bitches are dug in the
ground three or four feet deep. These
are half filed with straw, and nets are
stretched over them. On these nets
are placed small saucers, holding
about wine- glass of water. There is
nothing more to be done but to wait
for clear, starry, and perfectly calm
night.
When such night arrives, the little
saucers are filled with waterin in the even
ing, which water by o'clock in the
morning is found to be covered with a
thin coating of ice | These cakes of
ice are very small, it is true, but when
they are all thrown together into the
ice. houses under the ground, they
form themselves into masses of quite
respectable size. In these primitive
ice e-houses the ice keeps for some time.
The straw is placed in the bitches be-
cause it is bad conductor of heat, and
by its means the saucers of water are
separated from the ground, and receive
little or no heat from it. The water,
therefore, gives out more heat than it
receives, so that its temperature is
continually lowered until it reaches the
freezing point, when it, of course, be-
comes ice.
The ice is more or less mixed with
bits Of straw and with dust. 1t cannot
be used to put into liquids, but placed
around them makes them delightfully."-
cool and refreshing, and we can well
imagine what a luxury it must be in
this torrid region.

now Romanist chapel, was the head
quarters of extravaganza and gorgeous
