A.Bpulliag mania has broken ont in
tho Norlh-woat. Weary of the ordi?
nary winter amusements, the publio
of that region baa balled for a recrea?
tion wbiob sb ill combine novelty with
instruction, and spelling tournaments
?ere now all tbe rage. Tho Courier
Journal says that Louisvillo is think?
ing of reviving this 'reminiscence of
the days when the oity was a village.
So far, it says, in these oontests, pro?
fessional literary people, and the high?
flyers of the press, have been brought
by the simplest words "tumbling iguo
ruinionsly to the ground." We may
kave better lnok. ! The thing is level
to oar capacity. We want something
to Caakei qs.happy. We have tried tbe
-Sprague Manufacturing Oompauy, tho
Oongaree . Manufacturing Company,
tbe Oity Railway Company, nil
duly obartered, but not moving on
in any aseful or entertaining direc?
tion. Tho opova eoaoon is over, and
Cramer has nothing new to offer. The
Choral Union carols no longer. Thore
:a<ao prospect of another lecture from
Governor Vanae, or any other man.
We have bad?some of ,ns?a library
association, but reading did not flourish
under it. Now let us, like our neigh?
bors that are to be when the moun?
ts!? barriers which divide us are
pierced, qud Louisville, Chicago and
Cincinnati are made aooeesible, try
what virtue there ia in spelling. It is I
time for a ohsnge. The General As-1
?sambly which we bavu with us always,
- -.vo are happy to say, will lend its
countenance to this new enterprise,
provided there's money in it. Whist I
.is said to be improved in interest by
< even the smallest stakes. Let there,
then, be a little money in it?say a
'quarter each?and the pool will be a
thing of beauty and a joy forever to
the legislative mind. And in order
iurther to accommodate tho soheme to
-aur law-makers, the trial words should
? not bo '-'hard/' Now let him that ima?
ginoa he aan -spell, take care, lest he
fall. Think of separate, sibyl, eleemo?
synary, oarnelian, embarrassing, po?
niard, inuendo, not to think of ineinu
-endoes?and tremble. We suggest that
a special joint oommittee, to be se?
lected from the primary schools and
the Committees on Education of the
two Houses, be forthwith appointed,
each furnished with Webster's spelling
?book, to get up a otyliah spelling

_Science fend Reil? Aon*
! Sir Charles Lyell, the eminent dls
covoror and writer on geology, was
buried in Weotminotor Abbey, on the
27th nit. Dean Stanley, -who read the
service and lessons at the burial, deli?
vered c sermon next day Qpon the reli
giono aspect of geology, taking for text
tho second verso of the first chapter of
Genesis?"Tho earth was without form
and void; and daikncus wus upou tho
face of the deep. And the spirit of
God moved upon the fuoe of the
waters." Ho treuted thceo words us
having a sense wider than tho literal
trnntjeript. They express transition
from chaos, as understood by the
Greeks, to the order of tbo universe,
as described by Humboldt in bis "Cos?
mos." They go from formless void,
whioh convey the image of warring
elements, to tho moving oi ihe Divine
spirit whioh typifies the gentle brood?
ing, as it were, of a bird of peace. This
idea he happily unfolds and makes
consentaneous with the modern spirit
of inquiry and study, whose proper ef?
fect is to bring order out of ohaos, and
harmony out of discord. There in a
likeness between the general spirit of
the method of science and that of the
Bible. It is a model to the student in
its slow but increasing purpose of reve?
lation, corresponding to the slowly
evolved disclosures of scientific re?
search. The pursuit of truth beaomes
armed with peculiar power, when thus
invested with tho sanctity of religious
duty. This power has been nobly
illustrated in the subatuntial agreement
whioh has been roaohed by science and
religion, found in the spirit, methods
and results of each, in the faoo of lite?
ral and temporary contradictions. Re?
ferring to the text, Dean Stanley mokes
it the instrument, as he interprets it'in
oonneotion with the discoveries of tho
great sohool of English geologists, of
conveying this recondite, beautiful and
most consoling truth.
"Tho language," he says, "however
poetio, child-like, parabolical and un?
scientific, impresses upon us the prin?
ciple which applies in both the moral
and in the material world that the law
of the divine operation is the grudual,
peaceful, progressive development of
discord into harmony, confuaiou into
order, darkness iato light. It is well
known that when tho study of geology
first arose, it was involved in intermi?
nable Bouemes of reconciliation with
the letter of Scripture. There were
and are two modes of reconoiliatiou
whioh have each totally and deservedly
failed. Tho oue attempts to wrest the
words of the Bible from their real
meaning, and force them to speuk the
language of science, and the other at?
tempts to falsify science to meet the
supposed requirements of tho Bible.
The 'seventy,' finding that the hare
was described as obewiug the cud, in?
serted the word 'not;' and on the other
hand, the Jesuits, in editing Newton's
Tciuoipia,' announced in the preface
tbat tbey were constrained to treat the
theory of gravitation as a fiotitious
hypothesis, else it would conflict with
the dearees of the Popes against tbe
motion of the earth. But there is an?
other reconoiliatiou of a higher kiud,
or, rut her, not a reconciliation, but aa
acknowledgment of the affinity und
identity which exist* botweeu the
spirit of suience and tbe spirit of tho
Bible. First, there is a likeness of
the general spirit of the truths of
science to the general spirit of the
Bible truths; und secondly, there is a
likeness iu the methods. For instance,
the geological truth which our illus?
trious student was tbe chief instrument
in clearly setting forth and establish?
ing, was the doctrine, wrought out by
careful, cautious inquiry iu all parts of
tbo world, that the framu of this earth
was graduully brought into its present
condition not by sudden aud violent
oonvuleioos, but by the slow aud si?
lent action of tho same causes which
we seo now; but operating through u
long suoossion of uges beyond the
memory and imaginatiou of man.
There need be uo question whether
this dootrino agrees or not with the
letter of the Bible. We do not expect
it should. For, had there been no
such scientific conclusions, we now
know perfectly well, from our in?
creased insight into tbe nature and
origiu of the early Biblical records,
that they were not and oould not be
literal, prosaio, matter-of-fact descrip?
tions of the beginning of the world, of
whioh, as of its end, no man knoweth
or can oonceive except by figures or
Sarallel. Ik is now clear to all stu
epts of the Bible that the first and
second ohap&era of Genesis contain
two narratives of the oreation
side by Bide, differing from each other
in almost every particular of time and
place and order. It is now known
that the vast epoohs demanded by
scientific observation are incompatible
both with the 6.000 years of the Mo
sato chronology und theeix days of the
Moaaio oreation. No one now infers
from the Bible that the earth is fixed,
that it cannot bd moved, that the son
does literally go forth as a bridegroom
from hie chamber, or that the slat*
sung with en audible voice in tbe dap n
of tho oreation. Bat when we rise to
tho cpirit, the ideal, the general drift
and purpose of the Biblical accounts,
we find ourselves in an atmosphere of
moral elevation whioh meets the
highest requirements philosophy can
To Sir Oharies Lyell, as tbe expo
neat oXtbUioltf 4?$tbod> M -the ,msa
above all others in recent English his?
tory in whom contradictories met to
bo reconciled, be. pays thp following
exquiaito tribute:
"He followed truth with a sanotified
zeal, a childlike humility. For disco?
vering, confirming, rectifying his con?
clusions, there was no journey he
would not undertake. From early
youth to extreme old age, it was to bim
a religions duty fearlessly to correct
all bia own mistakes, aod he was always
ready to reoeivo from others and re?
produce that which he had not in him?
self. Iu his mind, science and religion
were iudivisible. The freedom of re?
ligious inquiry in the National Church,
the cause of humanity in the world at
large, were to him as dear as though
they were his own personul and pecu?
liar oonceru. There is unusual solem?
nity in the thought of his passage into
the eternal world on which, an in a
shadow or mirror, be had so long
meditated in those long ages of whiob
ho was, as it were, the first dincoverer.
The 'lofty and melancholy strain,' the
Ninetieth Psalm, which old tradition
ascribes to Moses, tbo man of Qod,
whether it be or not the funeral hymn
of the great law giver, well rep?
resents the feeling of one grown
gray with vast experience, who,
at the oloso of bin earthly jour
neyings, contrast the fleeting ge?
nerations of man with tbo granite
forms of the mountains at the
feet of which he has wondered, and
contrasts those mountains und mun
alike with Him who existed before, be?
yond and above tbem all. It sums up
with peculiar force the inner lifo of the
Christian philosopher who concluded
bis obief work with tbo contrast be?
tween the finite powers of man :tud
the attributes of un infinite Qod, and
who felt persuaded that after all the
discoveries on earth or soa or t-ky, the
religious sentiment remained the great?
est and most indestruotible instinct of
the human race."

A New Bonanza.?"Puff," the cor?
respondent of the Greenville News,
bus discovered a now mine of wealth
iu au apparently harmless bill:
'"Our legislators have fallen upou a
scheme, however, which can be made
to operate heretofore to fill their
pockets annually. Thie is the bill to
regulato tbe pay of members of the
General Assembly, whioh is a veritable
wolf iu sheep's clothing. It gives to
membors suoh per diem and compen?
sation hereafter, whilo convened in
regular session, ris will amount to 8600,
and no more, for the whole session;
and for auy special session the same
per diem as was allowed for tho next
preeediog regular session. Tbat is, if
a regular session should last 100 days,
the per diem for that session would be
30, und if u special should be held that
year, the per diem of such special ses?
sion would also be 80. If tho regular
Session should last only fifty days, the
per diem would be $12, both for the
regular und extra session. There is
scarcely a limit to the amount the
members may pay themselves under
this bill by shorteuing the regular ses?
sions and neglecting important legisla?
tion, suoh as tho annual tax Aot or ap?
propriation Aot, and thus making it
necessary to cull extra sessions, which
they oau prolong indefinitely. Sup?
pose, for iustauoe, that a regular ses?
sion should last only ten days, the
compensation of members uuder this
bill would be 860 a day, whioh
would also be the oompeuLation for
each day of a epaaial session held at
auy time before the next regular ses?
sion. If the extra session should last
six months, eaoh member would re
oeive for that year, inolading both
sessions, 811,400."

The Tornado?Further Details.?
Yesterday we received further informa?
tion in relation to the devastation by
the tornado last Monday afternoon.
Instead of only the roof of Mr.
Thomas' house being torn oft*, we learn
that tho dwelling was completely
wrecked, and evory buildiDg ou his
placo leveled to the earth. Fortu?
nately there was no damage to life or
limb at this place. About one mile
beyond, at Mr. T. D. Cook's settle?
ment, the storm flond wreoked every
house with the exception of the dwell?
ing; and two miles farther, on Cedar
Creek, Mr. Frank Strickland's honse
was blown down. The tornado ap?
pears to have exhausted its fury about
tbo old Anornm Ferry road?a mile
and a half beyond Mr. Striokland'a.
A tree fell in Col. Oaughman's field,
whioh is believed to have come from
Mrs. Brevard's place, on the Bluff
Road?a distanoe of four or five miles.
The tree, (a Catawba.) which was torn
np by its roots, was of sdbh hnge
dimensions, that fonr mules could not
move it. The whole distanoe, through
woods and fields, traversed by the tree,
presented the appearance of a well
used road, all the trees and grass being
crushed to the earth. .
We learn that oar information as to
the death of a m colored man at Mr.
Padgett's plaoe was incorrect, though
it is believed he will die, from the in?
juries received. Mrs, Padgett' and
ohild made a miraculous escape. She
was standing in the honse, with the
child in her arms, when the terrible
wind struck aud demolished (he whole
?traotare in a twinkling?not a timber
being Ifcftiaitaplttca?bat^&aftBd tbe
ohild escaped without the slightest
injury. Mrs. Davis had sovorol riba
broken, and was otherwise eoverely in?
jured. The blowing down of Mr.
Davis' ohimney wsi tbe ctiuso of bis
ohild's death.
The tornado ie believed to have
come from twenty miles on the Lex?
ington side of the river, bat seems to
have inflicted no damags, except pros?
trating trees und feuces, before reach?
ing Mr. Padgett's place. The woods
were so completely swept down in the
vicinity of tbe toruado'a greatest de
struetiveuoss, that hut few trees were
left standing.
The Hibernian Society Suiter.?
The Hibernian Society of Columbia
celebrated its sixth anniversary, last
evening, with high spirit aud enjoy?
ment, at tbe Wheeler Hoose. Col.
Mo Muster presided and opened the
sentimental part of the entertainment
with some interesting remarks upon
Ireland, the Irish, and the Irish so?
cieties in this country. Tbe regular

"Ireland," "The United States,"
"South C-irolina," "Our Sister So?

to by Messrs. Andrew Crawford,
Judge Carpenter, Gen. Anderson,

Judge Carpenter, in speaking to the

that unification wai advancing in that
country, and that tho Irish were*
