An old freedman, in Texas, was
asked a few days ago, if he was not
going to register. He wished to know
how he was to proceed. On being
told that he had to swear to support
the Constitution, his eyes widened,
and, drawing a long breath, he said
he couldn'tdo it, because he couldn' t
support himself!

The Language of the Hair.

Some genius has invented the fol-
lowing: Stiff hair is sometimes the
sign of obstinaey; sleek locks denote
patience; a curly head is always &C
companied by wit and love of pleas
ure. Badness is a sign of an active
mind, unless the bald man brushes
his hair forward to cover the front
that is the mark of mean and vul-
gar spirit-or, which is still worse,
unless he wears a wig, in which case
he must, unquestionably, be classed
among snobs, Premature gray hair
denotes philanthropy, continued suf
fering, whether physical or moral
excessive labor or dissipation. With
regard to those abundant locks which
time is powerless to bleach, they are
the badge of an even disposition, anC
of mediocre intellect.

Mr.. COffax.

The New York Evangelist has the
following:
"OfMr. Colfax we can speak from
personal knowledge and personal
friendship. We have known him
for years, and regard him with a
stronger feeling than we have for
almost ony one else in public life
He is a man without stain-purej up
right, honorable in every relation
strictly temperate and truly religious.
Probably no one of our public men
has 80 many personal friends, and
the reason is obviods-uO man in
Congress, during the dozen years he
has been there, has done so many
kind things-so much to please eve
rybody. Without any disparagement
to the distinguished names put in
competition with his, we yet believe
no one could have been selected which
would have been more universally
accepted"

TIE CITY COUNCIL AND THE MEDICAL SooIE-
TY.-By the proceedings of the City Council
Yesterday, an abstract of which is published in
this mornings NEWS, it will be seen that the
Medical Society of South Carolina, addressed a
memorial to the Council reviewing and ami
madverting upon the policy Of the present ad-
ministration of the city government, in so far
as relates to their action in matters pertaining
to the Health Department of the city. Memo
rials have previously been addressed to the
City Council on the same subject by the
Trustees Of Roper Hospital and the Faculty Of
the Medical College. The memorial presented
last night is too long for this mornings issue,
but will be publishedin in a few days. II We have
been rightly informed, it arraigns the action Of
the Board of Health and Of the chief medical
officer of the city. The Mayor made an e1tem-
pore defence Of his course and Of the Board Of
Health. A motion Was made to refer the me-
mortal to special committee, of which no Al
derman shall be member who is member Of
the Board of Health. This was opposed by
the Mayor as altogether improper; he contend
ed that the Board OF Health only could take
cognizance of the case; and, on his motion, the
subject was finally referred to that body. Here,
then, we have the anomaly Of a Board arraigned
before itself, and sitting in judgment on it's
own act.

Two NEGRO CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH.-On
Sunday evening last two negro children were
burnt to death under the following circum-
stances In the afternoon of Sunday two ne
gro women left their children in house where
a fire was burning, and went visiting in the
country. While they were absent, the largest,
boy about five years old, attempted to rekin-
die the fire, which was about going out, the
smaller child holding on to him at the same
time, when by some means or other they both
caught fire, causing almost instant death to
the smaller one The larger boy survived un-
til Tuesday morning. It is alleged that this
horrible affair occurred through The careless
ness of the mothers. .-BenneItsoiN Journal.

measures ninety-one by one hundred and sew
enty-four feet; the house new, cost about
$4,000 10 build, and is insured for $4,000. The
terms of the sale we're one-third cash, the bull
ancc in one and two years. The purchaser
paid Sill, entered on the possession OF bis
property, and at once rented it for $3.50 a
year.
The advertisement of this property was head-
ed 'Under Decree in Equity-Brown os. Mil
ler." Now, We know nothing whatever OF this
case, but find it difficult to believe that ether
Brown or Miller, their heirs, assignees, or by
whatsoever name their representatives may be
known, were benefited by this sale Of the Mas
ter in Equity. There should be remedy for
this evil somewhere, and We hope it will be ap-
piled.
