A NEW STANDARD OF LENGTH.

Scientists have long sought for a fixed
and invariable standard of length.
The measures in common use are mere
arbitrary lengths, and, if the original
standards should be destroyed, could
not be Accurately replaced. The French
meter is supposed to be a ten-millionth
part of the quadrant of the earth but
the accuracy of the original measure
ments has been seriously called IN
question. The so-called wave-lengths
of light have been suggested as fur
nishing an invariable numerical mag
nitude, but their excessive minuteness
and the difficulty of accurately meas
uring them have heretofore been an
insuperable objection to their use.
Messrs. Nicholson and Morley have
now devised a method of measuring
these wave-lengths, which they claim is
probably accurate to one ten-mllllonth
part. When it is considered that a
w~ave-length of sodium yellow light
is only about one forty-thousandth of
an inch, the delicacy of this method
becomes apparent. Whatever theory
may be held as to the nature of light,
the numerical values called for con
venience "wave-length" are actual
and invariable magnitudes of some,
thing and, if the new method of
measurement proves reliable, there
will be no difficulty in obtaining a
fixed standard of length which can be
reproduced at any time or place.

The Charlotte Democrat thinks that
ladies ought to take off their high hats
and bonnets in church. Every one who
has tried, during a Is minutes discourse,
to get a single glimpse of the minister's
face, but failed on account of some lady's
high headgear, will agree most heartily
with Bro. Yates. Let a leading society
lady in this city, and n in every other
large city and town in the State adopt
the Democrats suggestion on the first
Sunday morning in May next. The NOV
ers in so grand and humane a reform
would immortalize themselves and future
generations will associate their names
with those of Joan de Arc and Florence
Nightingale.

A MUNIFICENT DONATION TO
THE SOUTH CAROLINA AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE,
THE FAMILY OF ]. c.
CALHOUN.

A correspondent writing us from
Hickory Flat, S. c., under date of
April 18th, says:
"Hon. T. G. Clemson, son-in-law of
J. G. Calhoun, died on the 18th inst,
aged 80 years, at Fort Hill, near Pen
dleton, S. G.. His son, John Calhoun,
was a Captain in the G. S. Army, and
was killed in a railroad collision a few
years after the war; a handsome and
promising young man. His daughter
Floride, married Mr.. Sicleon Lee, of
New York, by whom she had one
daughter, .Floride, and died soon
after. This granddaughter is now
the only representative of this dis
tinguished gentleman, who was once
Minister to Brussels, and who, during
his residence abroad, enjoyed the in
timacy of the crowned heads of Europe
for his learning and accomplishments.
He was appointed by President Grant
a delegate from the United States to
the Exposition Universal, held in
Paris a few years ago. By his will,
which will be probated in a few days,
and which I have had the pleasure OF
reading, after making handsome pro
visions for his house keeper and a
large bequest to his granddaughter,
the remainder of his property is left
in the hands of a board of trustees
named by him for the building of an
agricultural college. The board is
authorized to offer it to the State and
ask that it be supplemented. If it is
not accepted within three years, they
are required to administer it as far as
it will 90 in the same direction. This
fund is confidently expected to amount
to $50, 600, and consists of 500 acres
the old homestead of j.. G. Calhoun
with stocks and bonds aggregating as
above" , .

CREDIT IN DIFFERENT COUN-
TRIES.

In Australia a credit of six months
is generally allowed.
In Asia Minor a credit of but two
or three weeks is in most cases all
that is allowed.
In Italy but little credit business is
done, and none without good security
being given.
In France a four months accept
ance is required to be sent IN settle
ment of the invoice.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment
is generally from four to five months
after delivery of the goods. q !
In the Bermudas accounts are set
tied but once a year. The 3Oth OF
June is the day usually fixed for the
payments.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to
do business without allowing a very
long credit, which is nearly always one
of six months.
In England a payment of goods de-
live1ed is required at the end of three
months, dating from the day of ship
ment.
In Turkey even objects of prime
necessity are sold on credit, and in
this country, as well as in Russia the
time allowed is in most cases twelve
months.
In Spain four. ifths Of the transac-
tons are done on a cash basis, while
in Portugal great liberality is shown
and quite a long. credit is usually al
lowed.
In China it is not customary to give
credit. Money is obtained from lend
ers, who exact an interest OF from
eight to twelve per cent. Business is
nearly always conducted upon a cash
basis.
In Mexico the large commercial
houses willingly give credit Of from
six to eight months, and in the retail
trade longer terms are given custom
ers in which to settle their accounts.
In Canada settlements are made at
the end of thirty days, with a dis
count of five per cent. Sometimes a
credit of from three to six months Is
allowed, but in this case there is no
discount.

THE MONEY MARKETS.

Favorable Outlook.

Bradstreet's Gazette of the 2Ist in
slant reports the leading money mar.

bonds, decreased demand at New
York for carrying stocks, and the con-
t'nued flow from the interior, has put
