TO INSPECT IT AND GET MY PRICES. Respectfully, 1 ' TERRIBLE TORNADO, Several Persons Killed and a Considerable Amount of Property Destroy ed, London, March 5. A "special to the Times, dated San Stefano, Monday, says : "Gen Ignatieff will go to Con stantinople to-morrow. It is not cer tain whether Grand Duke Nicholaa will accompany him. The Grand Duke will remain in Turkey some weeks." The St Petersburg correspondent of the Times telegraphs : wThe treaty wili probably not be published until the text is received by the courier a week or ten days hence. It is now hoped the congress will assemble in Berlin, and the three chancellors will attend. I have reason to believe that Prince Bismarck has consented to preside." The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch from its Pera correspondent saying that it is stated that the Russians will begin to leave there immediately, some of them embarking at Pera and o.hers at San Stefano. The treaty of peace has been sent to St Petersburg for formal ratification. The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says at the opening of the congress a motion will be brought forward, probably by the German dele gate, in favor of an immediate annex ation to Austria of Bosnia and Herze govinia. Prince Bismarck has quite recently renewed his advice in favor of such an annexation. The political outlook is regarded as much brighter in all European capitals in consequence of the signature of the treaty of peace, and the resumption of negotiations for the congress. The talk in the lobbies of Parliament, yes terday evening, was ali peaceful, the members even discussing the prospect of a longer Easter recess than usual, and an earlierprorogation in autumn. A specia from San Stefano to the News says : "The amount of tribute to be paid by Bulgaria is not to be fixed for two years, during which measures will be taken to ascertain the resources and revenue of the country which will be occupied by forty thousand Bassian troops two years, or until a native army can be formed and rendered capable of maintaining order. The tribute when fixed will go towards paying the Buss sian war indemnity. The ultimate form of government, whether constitu tional or absolute will be decided part ly by Europe. Serviawill have Nisk but 'not Widden, which will remain in Bulgaria. Thessalay and Epirus will share the administrative reforms stipu lated for Bosnia. St Petersburg, March 5. The Sul tan has .sent the following telegram to the Emperor : "Constantinople, March 3. Oirthe occasion of the anni versary of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, I offer my congratulations with the desire of renewing our friend ly relations." The Emperor in reply telegraphed as follows : "I thank Your Majesty for your congratulations which I received simultaneously with the news of the signature of peace. I perceive in this coincidence a presage of good and last ing relations between us." The Times' San Stefano correspond ent says : "Rou mania is not included in the peace conditions. Russia has told Turkey she must treat directly with Roumania, whose pretensions are too great. The Vienna newspapers are dissatisfied with the peace conditions as far as I know. Some express the opinion that the most difficult phase of the crisis is yet to be passed. They say that nobody wishes to disturb the ereat result of the war, the liberation of the Christians, but while the de mands calculated to lead to con flict with' England have been drop ped by Russia, a similar consideration has not been shown for Austria. It is stated that Count Andrassy will make full exposition of his views to the dele gations wbicb will meet during the present week, probably on the 7th inst. A special dispatch to Lloyds from Galata, says : "The work of remov ing the obstructions in the Danube will begin to-morrow. It is expected that navigation will be open in two weeks." SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. South Carolina Taxes A Synopsis of the Provisions of the Forth coming Supply Bill. ffpecial to the Charleston News and Cou rier Columbia, March 3. The supply bill is now ready. It provides for the current expenses of the fiscal year, a general State tax of five and one half mills, exclusive of the two mill school tax. County taxes will be not over three mills, in addition to which there will be in several counties a special tax, ranging from one and a half to two mills, to pay past indebtedness. The poll tax is limited to persons from 21 to 60 years of age. Gold and silver coin and National bank notes only are receivable in payment. The taxes are made due and payable in two equal in stalments, from the first of May to the first of June, and from the first of October to the first of November. It is left optional, however, to pay the whole amount at the time of the second instalment, with a penalty of six per cent, on the first instalment ; and when the tax and penalty are not paid on or before the first of Novem ber, an additional penalty of fifteen per cent, is added, and the county treasur ers shall collect by distress or other wise. If such delinquent taxes and penalties be not then pain by the fifteenth of November they shall be collected by sale. Section 12 levies two mills for the publio schools. The committee estimate that $616, 824.84, exclusive of the cash in the1 treasury and the probable receipts from phosphate royalty, will be re quired to meet the appropriations and interest due on the public debt. One mill in 1876-77 yielded $119,115, . Five and one-half mills should, therefore a little more than raise the above amount. C MeK.

The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liyer will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by oar druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this country, but as there are fifty oses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com plaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver oomplaint, inthe world.
