Keep YARN and Save Your Lives.

Within thirty days from to-day there will be
many deaths which might be prevented by warm
er clothing. Many fatal case of dysentery is
caused by the want of woolen under shirt, or of
an extra blanket at night. The sudden changes
of temperature which occur at this season of the
year are very trying to the constitution. People
with weak lungs quickly feel the effect of them.
Frequently the thermometer falls many degrees
within few hours.-Not only the feeble, but 70
bust and strong persons suffer from such great
variations Of temperature When the weather
grows cold rapidly, the pores of the skin sud-
denly closed, and the result frequently is q bad
cold, which may hold on all winter and termin-
ate in consumption, or fatal attack of dysen-
terry, or that dreadful disease, the typhoid
fever.
If the day seems ever so warm and bright, it is
much safer to wear plenty of under clothing at
this season. In the evening the dews fall, and
it grows chilly very suddenly At all times, ev-
en- when it feels the warmest, one experiences
the difference which is marked, between the
autumn atmosphere and that of summer.-There
is something more than tho mere difference in
temperature; it may be in the electricity. An
occasional fire In Q room dries the walls and pu-
rifles the atmosphere. A little timely attention
to all these things would prevent great deal of
the disease sad suffering which are among the
ills to which humanity is liable.
There are many ready made collins at the cab
met shops and Notwithstanding, short, tiny
coffns-which are going to be filled up soon by
little children-some of them as sweet, beautiful
little children as anyhody's but your own; and
Just to think OF it, these cotns might be left emp
ty, and the little children might be left in their
homes to play and frolic, and make these homes
bright if only warm shoes and stockings, which
keep little feet dry, and warm clothes and soft
woollen blankets were more plenty than they
are.
Do not bother yourself to hunt up mis-
sionary. BE sure that whenever you send pair
OF warm shoes to needy child, good enough
missionary, though you do not see him, always
travels inside of them. In warming feet and
warming bodies you warm hearts also; and be-
sides, 1T warns your own heart to do this.
Ii the physician of the Board of Health would
omit some of his technical, scientific terms, and
give the people Ineligible, timely advice on
these subjects. he might not appear as learned as
now, but would not his service be more useful p

Survivors Of john e.. C0lhOun's
EamflV.

A South Carolina correspondent sends us some
account of the survivors OF the late John Z. Gal
houn's family. EARLY in life Mr.. Calhoun mar.
ried his cousin, Florida Calhoun, who eventually
brought him handsome fortune. 1t was in her
right that he owned Fort Hill Her brother,
Col. J. E. Calhoun, owned two fine plantations
adjoining besides many acres of wooded land.
Of this marriage seven children-fve sons and
two daughters-arrived at years of maturity, all
Of whom outlived their father, but only one now
survives, the eldest daughter, wife Of L. e..
Clemson, formerly Charge d'Affaires at the
Court of Belgium, a handsome, brilliant and
fascinating woman, inheriting much OF her faith
er's talent, and always regarded by him with o.
pecial pride and fondness.
Younger than this lady were four sons, OF
whom the eldest was Patrick-educated for the
army; John, the next, studied medicine; James
was lawyer, and William, the youngest of the
family, devoted his attention to planting. All
these died in early life.
Between John and Patrick was = daughter,
Cornelia, confirmed invalid, who, on that &C.
count, was always treated with most tender in
diligence by her father. She also died some years
ago.
During the war Col Andrew Calhoun, the
eldest son, died very suddenly, before medical
assistance could be procured He was at that
time living at Fort Hill, having purchased tho
place from his mother, who finding the cares Of
planting too heavy, removed to a very pretty
residence overlooking the little village Of PEN
dleton.
About eighteen months ago she, tso died.
Her health, until about two years previous to
her death, was remarkably strong; but about
that time decline began, FROM which she never
rallied.
The eldest son, Col. Andrew Calhoun. has left
widow and six or seven children, of when the
81 h., C l,,r
the war in the Southern army Of the other
sons, neither Patrick or James ever married.
DR.. John Calhoun left two sons, children as yet.
William left one, also still quite a child.
Mrs. Clemson has twq children, son and
daughter. Her son also fought during the war,
and was for long time prisoner at Johnsons
Island Her daughter inherits great powers of
mind, personal beauty, charm of manner and
conversational powers.
Fort Hill remains at present in the possession
of the family of Col. Andrew Calhoun, the eld-
est son.-Ne3 York Post

FROM many Investigations into the subject
and from the testimony Of Youatt, Spooner,

not Ieed hpon the stomach, but upon the chyme

Nine out of ten of the horses whose stomaohs we
have examined, have contained bots. Some OF
those horses were killed by accident while in
perfect health. We have found the bots eating

LONDON, december 5.-There are vague
rumOrs sdoat ia this city Of q general
seizure OF newspapers ana of conflicts be-
tween the troops and MODS at Paris.
These rumors, though not confirmed,
have caused panic in the commercial
circles of this city.
The Times in an article on the Alabama
claims argues against the Government
yielding to the new demands Of Mr.. Sew.
ard, that the questions Of international
law be submitted to the Commissioners.
The Times says the American Commis-
sioner will come committed against Eng
land, and claims that by national Law
the British Commissioner will be driven
to sn opposite view. The Times regr sis
that Lord Stanley has been robbed Of the
glory Of the settlement of the Iuter-
national, but is certain that Lord Claren-
don and whoever the Foreign Secretary
msy be, will pursue the same policy.
u is reported that John Bright has
peremptOrily declined the Office of Sec
retary Of State for Indis, and insisted on
the appointment Of the Earl Of Kimber-
~ as Foreign Secretary, in place Of the
Earl OF Clarendon. Il Is believed his
wish in this connection will be aeceded
to. The full list Of ministers is to be
completed Mondsy.

Mr.. Jas. NJ. McCurlin, the Republican
candidate for Congress in the 5th Ccu-
gressional district at the November cleo
tioo, yesterday commenced proceedings
looking toward the contesting OF the
election OF his successful opponent, the
Hon. john MorTissey. Mr.. MeCurlin
bases his action on an allegation that
hfr. MorTissey has not bad q legal resi-
dence in this country of sufficient length
of time to entitle him to 3 sest in Con-
gre.s.
Il is stated that Gov. Geary, Of Penn

murder of her infant.
There was q report In the gold rooms
this afternoon that riots have taken place

Is MRS. Stowe Converted ;
rom be Macon c. Telegraph.

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
We bear from Florida that Mrs.
Beeeher Stowe, the authoress Of Uncle
Toms Cabin" who a year or two ago,
bought place on the ST. Johns river,
near Jacksonville, says she wants to live
long enough to write another book to
correct the mistakes Of Uuele Tom, and
show that great blunder was commit
ted when slavery was abolished. From
original condition OF sentimental attach
ment to the negro, che has iapsed into q
state of unconqueTabie dislike and aver
sion. She will not have them about her,
either In doors or out. She turned them
all off her place, and allows no one with
black skin to approach her. We are
told that an acquaintance of ours sought
to send her message by black stew
ardsss on board steamboat, but she
refused to allow the negro to approach
Aer. Her mind, es we have been credi-
bly, informed, is very much infismed
against the negro, and this, probably,
from comparing their efficiency and spti-
tude as laborers and servants with that
of Northern whites. Her fancy picture
of the African has been spoiled, and her
sentimental affection has turned, in con-
sequence, to violent aversion. Like
Squeers, the milk of human sympathy
Ia her bosom has all turned to curds and
whey.

THE MERCHANTs' TAN.
A Powerful Plea for Its MOdIG-
cation.

The following memorial was agreed
upon at meeting OF the committee 6p-
pointed by the merchants of the pTinci-
pal cities in the State, and was to have
been submitted TO the General Assembly
Friday:
To the H0nsrabls Members OF the Legislature
OF The S-Bte Of Lenneses:
The undersigned, your memoriallsts,
representatives of the merchants and
business men of the State, would state to
your Honorable body that they feel a
deep interest in the prosperity and credit
Of their noble Commonwealth, and
therefore propose, IL no spirit Of croak-
ing or complaining, to tender, as far as
in their power, their friendly aid in
remedying the financial burdens that
beset Us on every hand in so far as they
relate TO the common prosperity Of the
State.
It is well known to all, that the ques-
ton of taxes and revenue are the most
delicate which any statesman is ever
called upon to handle. The question OF
taxation is one about which the people
are always particularly sensitive and
Jealous, and consequently, in order that
the public taxes may be fairly and
promptly collected upon the tsXables of
the State, they must be levied in such
manner as that the people will feel to be
Just and honorable, and that the public
good demands that they shall be paid as
levied. IL must always be remembered,
too, that one species OF business or capi-
tai cannot safely be made to bear more
than its legitimate share OF the pub.
lio burthens without eDgenderipg
In the public mind a disposition
to evade the tax, and that when man
makes up bis mind to evade the public
taxes he will devise the means necessary
to do it in all that class of business
usually done by merchants and traders,
for, sad as it may be, we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that the grossest frauds
are charged almost daily upon the trading
community, who, from the force Of cir
cumstsnces, are being educated to the
opinion thst when the taxes are, In their
view, unequal and Injurious TO one class
of business more than another, tits their
duty, 10 seif-defense, to evade them and
defraud the State out of such excessive
levies. Your memoTlslists would further
state that all taxes imposed by the State
should be, and no doubt are, imposed
with an eye TO the public benefit alone,
and const quentiy only such discrimina-
tions and distinctions should be made rs
will be promotive OF the prosperity and
wealth of the State and its citizens and,
In order to so adjust q rsveaue law as
that It will Ia Its operations be promotive
