What the South Think oft.

TIE LATE ELECTIONS IN THE NORTH.
In order that our readers may UNI
derstand the estimation in which the
late elections in the Northern States
are held in the different portions Of the
country. we insert extracts from the
editorials of four papcrs-the New
York Courier and Enquirer, the Lynch
burg Nirginian, the Cincinnati En-
quircr, and the Macon Telegraph
These papers substantially agree as to
their purpo.t. Indeed, excepting very
thorough Administration organs, the
whole press, Wing and Democratic,
put but one Interpretation upon all
these elections. They make the most
formidable demonstration against the
institution of slavery that has ever yet
been exhibited, and seem distinctly to
fore-shadow one Of two results-the
dissolution Of the Union or the eXtinc-
ton Of slavery. 1t is a great move
mcnt, arising from the decrcst>rooted
feelings and princil les, which have
been steadily gathering strength under
a growth Of twenty years, and which
there is but little ground to hope can
be allayed by time. On the contrary,
progress seems to be an unalterable
law of its being, as victory has hitler
to boon Of its agitation - Charleston

News from the Sandwich Islands.

NeWS from tne lSldnQS.
From Honolulu advices are to the
18th of October. The most important
news relates to the protest of the Brit
ish Consul, Gen. Miller, against am
ncxation. The circumstances under
which the speech was delivered, were
peculiar and unusual. Gen. Miller
requested a private audience of the
King,for the purpose of making known
his sentiments, which was refused, the
King requesting him to give his speech
in writing. This was refused, when
he demanded an official audience, and
finally obtained one on the 9Th of Sep
TENDER, when he delivered a speech
of an hour and a quarter in length,
The following are the points taken by
Gen. Miller:
First, That the treaty entered in
to with the Sandwich Islands by Great
Britain was based on the express con,
dition that the King, his heirs and SUI
c%essors, are bound to extend, at al
times, to British subjects, the same ad
vautages and privileges as may be
granted to citizens of the most favored
nations. Second, That the Joint De-
ciaration of England and France, Of
the 2Sth November, 1913, was found
cd on the clear understanding tina
the King was to preserve his kingdom
as an independent state. Third, Tha.
no monarch whatever has a right t.
ALLEVIATE his kingdom, or enter into {
negotiation with that view, without the
concurrence of his people. Fourth
That the effect Of annexation would be-
10 make slaves Of the natives. Fifth
That slavery is recognized by thu
Constitution of the United States, an,
all persons of dark color being sold in
to slavery-natives, from their color
could not enjoy citizenship in the Tn.
tied States, and no treaty provision t,
that effect would be recognized by tn,
American people. Sixth, That Their,
is no distinction in rank in the United
States-no titles of nobility-and tina
the King and chiefs would lose thei.
rank and position, and be despised oil
account of their color. Seventh, Tia
the institutions of the United States
were demoralizing and c~ourrupting
and destroyed the amenities of socia
life ; and Eighth, That there was NJ
real security to person and property
there.
General Miller wound up his state.
ment of the objections to annexation
by the declaration that any attempt
to annex the island to the United
States would be in contrayention of al

THE TWAIN NOT ONE.-A Michigan
democratic editor, who is firm in the
faith Of lis party, happens to have a
wife who is just as firm a whig. The
editor having been obliged to leave
home while party feeling was running
high. lis Letter half took'the manage
mcnt of the paper during his absence.
Pretty soon her whie principles proved
too strong for resistance, and finding
it difficult to write against conscience
she set to work with a will and renned
some flaming wing leaders, which duly
appeared in the daily editions of the
paper, much to the astonishment gifts
usual readers. The democratic partner
of the firm happened accidentally to
fall in with a copy 70 his Journal during
his nip, and his surprise may be i'm
agined when he found its editorial col

The BEARD.-Each nair composing the hu
man beard is furnished with a distinct gland
elaborately and beautifully complete. Under.
meath are innumerable nerves, Immediately con.
nected with the various organs of the senses
ramifying in every direction, and performing
important functions. In shaving the upper ftp
with dull razor every one has noticed that the
eyes water, showing connection between the
nerves of the beard and those of the eyes.
Many cases of weak eyes, according to good
medical authority, may be- traced to the removal
of the beard. This hair, when in full growth,
forms natural protection to the nerves, and al.
so holds, as it were in suspension quantity of
warm air, through which the cold air in breath
ing passes, and then becomes rarified and attem-
pered, and fit to come in contact with the lungs.
