great attraction to it's readers. Sir

in q disquisition on the "Study of

One Of the greatest men ever produced
in America, Alexander Hamilton, is
discussed by y. Il. Bradley, and the
well-knoWn critic, George Saintsbury,
has something to say about one Of the
Scottish intellectual giants, Christopher
North, the founder Of Blackwood'S
Magazine. Goldwin Smiths paper on
the "Capital Of the United States" will
be read with interest. Other leading
papers are Alex. II. Japp's ";Some In
conscious Confessions Of De Quircey,"
and very readable paper by Sophie
Weissc on the great German historian
Ranke, with "reminiscences of Berlin.
from 1854 to 1886. Vernon Lee, under
the head of "Pcrigot," contributes in
tertSting notes Oh the dramatic in lit

An IMPORTANT FACT.-The Edge
held Monitor says When the chronic
grumblcr tells you that taxes are as
high as they wer: under Radical rule.
Just remind hini that in addition to
the taxes paid then Il State deht was
being saudled upon us ut the rate OF
hundreds Of thousands OF dollars yearly.
This very Important fact is overlooked
by the aforesaid chronic grumDlcr.
Another point: This immcns" SUM Of
debt money WAS brought into the State
spent freely. making what SOME people
now look back TO and remember as
hush times. without once considering
tLv cost 20 the State. Suppose those
flush times. from the same cause, had
continued up to this day, what would
be the financial condition OF South
Carolina? The present tax would not
be sufficient to pay onc-half the interest
or the State debt. All these things
should he considered in comparing the
present with the past, the Democratic
with Republican administrations.
