The WAY TO ENCOURAGE IMM1aRA.
TloN.-Major Melchers. the State Com.
missioner Of Immigration, in circular
letter to the Commissioners IN the int.
rior. says:
ST have been assured bycompetont
authority, that with $40, 200 and SO. .OOO
acres OF land donated, some 10, 600 ia.
miles may be brought to the State by
next winter. Without inducements to
offer to immigrants mono viii come. as
the West and other Southern States are
in tho field to get all the Immigrants
tha. come. Tennessee, for instance, has
offered 100. 900 acres of land gratis, to
be divided in alternate sections to imm
grant families; aud Virginia has appro-
priatcd $4,000 for the same purpose.
| nm happy to say, that in somo Coun-
ties OF the State, the people have offered
lands at very low prices. and given some
gratis; but the movement should be
general, and every County should do
all in its power to induce immigrants to
settle in our State"
Since issning this latter, says the
Charleston News and Courier, Major
Melchers has received information that
Col. j. Is. Moore, Of Statcsburg, has
donated 5000 acres of land, to be given
to immigrants, in alternate sections of
fifty acres. This gentleman compro-
hends the situation. White immigrants

They will come and stay if land be given

The Pulnonio Syrup ripens the NOR

The PRESIDENTIAL SSUD. Tho cor
respondent OF the Charleston Meas
writes ;,s follows, under date Of the 2Sth
ultimo:
It was an undcuinble snub. What
the President said was harsh enough
but his manner was even more signii-
cant than his words. 1t told us plminly
that We Ind nothing to expect from him,
and that whatever lis opinious might be
as to our grievances, he was not ut MI
inclined to trouble bis head in providing
remedy, aS he had made up his mind
to saddle upon the whole body OF the
tax payers the responsibility for the at
lack which had been made upon him by
one member OF their convention. All
recognized the fact that they had met
Gen. Grant while he was in an angry
mood; but they did not learn until after
wards that Honest John Patterson had
lett the Executive Mansion Just IA they
had entered it. Only the day before,
Patterson had been showing around
what purported to be report Of the
obnoxious speech, and threatening to
have it read in the Senate; nnd there is
good ground for believing that, when
the delegates were nshercd into tho pre-.
sence OF the President, he was still
smarting from the stings OF the offensive
terms which our Pennsylvania Iago had
just called to his attention ns fair sam
pie of the sentiments Of the tax PAYERS
of South Carolina toward the National
Administration. Considering these cir
ounastauces, tha delegates generally con-
cluded to regard tho rebuff they had
met rather as an exhibition of not un-
natural anger than as u manifestation Of
a deliberately assumed hostile attitude
Aud as these gentlemen are acting, not
III an individual capacity, but as the
trusted representatives and spokesmcn
of suffering people, it is not improba.

NEW STATE. "A bill wus introduced
in the House of Representatives., on

New Mexico was constituted, extending
from California Eastward to the 2Gth

Where Did Columbus Land !

Harper's for November has a clever
article on the Bahamas, which says !:
In all probability it was not Cat Island
which Columbus named San Salvador,
but Watling's Island-a smaller isle q
little more TO the southward and east
ward. The facts in the case are these /:
Contrary, probably, to the general
opinion, it has never been definitely
known which was the island entitled to
the honor but about fifty years ago,
when historians were busy with the
history of Columbus, they undertook
to settle the question by comparing his
journal with the imperfect charts of the
Bahamas then existing. Navarette fixed
on Turks Island, which latter investi-
cation has proved to be erroneous,
while Irving, supported by the strong
authority of Humboldt, argued for Cat
Island, and since then this has been
generally accepted as San Salvador,
and is 50 designated on our charts to
this day. But the English reversed
their opinion some time ago, and trans
ferred the name of San Salvador TO
Watling's Island, and it will be go found
on their latest charts. The reasons for
this change seem conclusive Lieut..
Beechsr. of the English navy, proves
concIusively that Cat Island answers the
conditions required better than any
other island lying in the track Of Co
lumbus. His two strongest reasons
against Cat Island are that Columbus
states that he rOwed around the north
ern end IN one day. The size of Cat
island makes this physically impossible
there, while it is quite feasible at the
other island. He also speaks of a large
lake il the interior. There is no such
water on Cat Island, while such lake
does exist on Watiing's Island.

Facial Asymmetry.

A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly says "rhere are many
other facial anomalies, which fail to at
tract attention because we have grown
accustomed to them. We should ex-
pect the convex cast of one side of the
face to fit, line for line, into the con-
cave cast of the other but it is doubt
full il there Is to be anywhere found one
single head of this ideal perfection.
Neither the contour of the cheeks nor
the lines of the countenance are the
same on both sides, and they are all the
less so because every one HnconscioUsly
tends to perform many unilaterial facial
movements, which III time cause a di-
vergence between the two sides of the
face. Besides, the head, projecting as
it does freely into air, is more depen-
dent than we imagine on wind and
weather. Suppose a person were to sit
! constantly al n window, turning one
side 10 the cooler atmosphere ont of
| doors, and the other towards q hot
stove the result would be 8 two-fold
growth of the facial muscles. One side
of the face might become rounded, and
the other fiat or cOncave and. though
such faces are not unfrequent, we do
not notice the anomaly simply because
we are accustomed to it. In the Lapp
we have a good illustration of this une
quail development. Just as the trees
of his native land are stuuted, SO too
his features become mOnstrous, irrequ-
lar, and One-sided; the frontal bones
| are forced, as though by spasm, down
on the maxillaries, producing the most
singular combinations and cortortions
of the features. A not uncommon form
of asymmetry, in more favored lands,
is the presence of a dimple on one cheek,
while the other has no such indentation,
or bat a very faint one. In such cases
the face has, as it were, a summer and a
winter side, just like the apple, which
is round and ruddy on the summer side,
but on the shade-side flattened end
wan
