A maniac was discovered on the
roof of the Mt. Pleasant Insane Asy
Ium, the other day, and efforts were
at once made to capture him. The
fugitive. however. found rope be-
longing to painter, and, thinking
by its help to escape, he let 1t drop
over the edge OF the roof. Finding
it was too short to come near the
ground, he gave it up. When he
saw the men after him, he bounded
over the roof, and seeing that he was
likely to be caught, swung over the
cornice and got under it SO that they
could not reach him. After climbing
down several feet, he caught hold OF
stone cornice projecting out about
an inch, and there he hung, forty
feet from the ground. The men on
the roof, seeing the danger he was IN,
called to those below to throw out
beds. This was quickly done, and
after the ground was covered with
several feet of bedding, he dropped,
receiving no injury.

Lightning struck the house Of

on his bed, with large knife in his
pocket. The lightning went for that
knife, and inflicted severe burn,
commencing near the groin, and pass
ing about half way round his leg. 1t
looks as though it had been made by
the application Of a hot bar of iron,
nine or ten inches long and an inch
wide, curved to fit the rotundidty OF
his limb. The beginning and ending
of the sore is as well defined as

STATETAXES.

Among other acts passed at the present session of the General As sembly is an act entitled "An Act to amend the revenue laws of the State,' approved March 5th, 1875. This act increases the taxes for defraying the general expenses of the state government from six mills on the dollar to ten mills on the dollar, making the aggregate just as high as the constitution allows. The increase is two mills on the dollar for general purposes, and two mills for paying interest on the public debt. The school tax of two mills on the dollar re- mains as it was. We call atten tiou to the fact that the increase is on items which yield very little direct benefit to the masses of the tax payers. The very item which most urgently needed increasing, and from which the people would have derived q tangible advantage is neglected. There is no other interest of our State which needs fostering so much as our public schools. The blame for not put ting ;l portion of the increase on the item for school purposes may not lie with the members of the present legislature, for we believe, if we remember correctly, that the levy is already up to the constitu- tional limit. But whether or not the members of the present As sembly are in favor of acting as promptly in favor of the public school interests, to whatever cX- tent they may be able to effect anything, as they are to look after their own pay we shall soon see. With people as patriotic and patient as ours are we believe that any reasonable demands of our State government will be prompt- ly complied with, but it does seem to us that with a levy of one per cent. for state taxes there should be more of it devoted to educa- tioual purposes in some shape or other.

That in case any such officer elected or appointed and commissioned by the governor, shall fail or neglect to apply for or secure his sald commission from the office of the secretary of state, within the time above spec flied; or shall after said commits sion shall have been obtained, fail or neglect to forward to the office of secretary of state, lis duplicate oath for record in said office with in the time above specified; then, the office to which such person or persons were commissioned shall be deemed vacant; and, the gov ernor of the state, on being satis- fled from the official records of secretary of state, by reason of any of the causes above enumer- atcd, shall proceed to fill such va cancy in the manner now provided by law.

 LONELINESS. ss.-What constitutes true lovcliness? Not the polished brow, the gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of fashionable life.

It is in the heart, where m4ekness, truth, affection, humil- ity are found, where we look for loveliness; nor do we look in vain. The woman who can soothc the aching heart, smooth the wrinkled brow, alleviate the anguish of the mind and poul the balm of conso' lation in the wounded breast, possesses in an eminent degree, true loyeliness of character.
