ANOTHER Coon SYMPTOM FROM SOUTH CARO-
IlNA.-It appears, according to our news from
Columbia upon the subject, that in the election
Of Mr.. Chestnut as Senator of the United States
from South Carolina, the conservatives achieved
decided victory over the fire-eaters, and that
the presence of Senator Hammond on the ground
had something to do with the result. In any
event, we accept the result as another good sign
of the substantial soundness, even of South Caro-
lima, upon the great question of the Union. Sena-
tor Hammond has evidently risen, in single
bold honest and fearless home speech, to the po-
sition Of Calhoun, as the true oracle of his
State and the South. Let him Sollow up the
good work he has so bravely commenced, and
the sphere of his active influence will be as wide
as the Union.

any one Of those miserable looking, uncomfort-
able, unhealthy tumbledown affairs that are to
be found in such numbers in the lower part of
Greenwich street, in the streets near the East
river, in and about Centre street. and the wretch
ed locality known as the Five Points The inn
mense barracks which have been erected here
and there throughout those places and which are
called modern tenement houses, are hardly a
whit better, although the landlords make from
fifteen to twenty per cent on the capital expend-
ed in their construction. As we have said. there
is no kind Of house property that pays better.
But this is not all; for, according to the strict
financial system on which they are conducted,
the tenants are required to pay monthly in ad-
vance, and the landlords have thus the benefit of
the interest accruing therefrom for that period 1t
might reasonably be expected from the profitable
character ofthe investment that habtati0ns of this
character would be at least equal in point Of
ventilation, accommodation, and all that tends
to the preservation of the health of their occu-
pants, to those which do not afford more than six
or seven per cent interest but which are superior
to them in every respect In justice to the land
lords Of some Of these tenement houses we should
state, however, that they are much better
managed, more healthy, better ventilated and
much cleaner than the generality, for the simple
reason that there are more opportunities afforded
to the tenants for keeping them clean and
healthy.
We trust that the next Legislature will not
adjourn without taking the necessary action to
improve the condition of our tenement houses,
so that they may become fit habtations for
human beings, instead of what they are-the
most unhealthy dwellings in New York.

we have heretofore borne our testimony
against horse-racins at Agricultural Exhibi-
tions, and urged all sensible farmers to stay
away entirely from any o-called agricultu-
Yal fairs, where horse racing is directly or

have, Likewise, been so nngallant as to ad-
viso the ladies' to make no display Of eques-
trians skill on such occasions. Let, Agricul-
tural Exhibitions be such, aud such only,
and let those who delight specially in fast
horses get up their own shows or races. If,
however, the advocates of racing insist on
showing off their fast horses at the Fairs,
We commend to their consideration tho
following hints from the Springfield Repub-
iican: saa a.
At every Show there are class of beau
tiful horses Of moderate abilities. Like
some handsome humans we read Of, they
are pretty but not smart. We have plan
to display these at the coming Fair, of course
with the consent of their owners. 1t is said
that the inhabitants of Minorca have the
following amusement on their list, VIZ: Il
donkey race, in which there may be from
twelve to twenty competitors. The rules OF
the race are, that no owner shall ride his
own animal; that no one who starts shall
turn back, or stop; and that the last one at
the goal shall be considered the winner. OF
course, it is for the interest of every aspiran,
for the prize to urge on the donkey on which
he rides, so as to keep ahead Of his own.

and ludicrons sport, and being very unu'
sual thing, We throw it out as worthy the
attention Of the horse committees at the
approaching Fairs.-4mericun Agricultu'

The largest cataract in the New World
is Niagara Falls, where in stream three
quarters of q mile wide, the water Of the
great lake plunges one hundred and sixty

The largest cave-the Mammoth cave in
Kentucky, where you can make voyage on
a subterranean river, and catch fish without
eyes--the noze shaving it, entirely.
The largest river-the Mississippi, 100
miles in length.
The largest valley-that of the Mississippi
-containg half million of square miles
and one of tho most fertile regions of the
globe.
The largest lake-Lake Supcrior-43C

The largest natural bridge-that of Ceda,
Creek, in Virginia, of 50 feet span, and over
q gap $50 feet deep. -
The largest mass Of iron-the Pilot Knot
iron mountain, in Missouri $50 feet high and
two miles around.
The greatest number of miles Of railroad
in proportion to surface, is in Massachusett:
