like monotony of the sick room to be relieved
by sight of what is going on in the street.
For this use it is admirable. 1t is called the
"window reflector, and is both simple in con-
struction and inexpensive in cost.
Tm WHITE AND BLACK VOTE In TIE STATE.
In another column will be found an official Ia
BILE showing the registration in the State on
March 81, and the vote cast in each district on
the question Of holding convention. The ta-
bic does not include the five days registration
Just closed. It will be seen that in Anderson,
Chesterfield, Greenville, Horny. Lancaster,
Lexington, Marion, Pickens and Spartanburg
the whites have the majority, and that in some
districts the black majority is not so great as
to prevent ths whites from carrying the cleo
tions. One curious fact shown by the table is
that out Of total registration in the State of
47,141 whites and s0,379 blacks, only total OF
71,046 votes were cast at the convention elec-
tions, showing that 5000 voters more than the
total number of white voters in the State kept
away from the polls altogether. The following
table shows approximately the number Of reg
istersd colored men who did not vote at the
convention elections: Abbeville, 500; Barnwell,
1900; Beaufort, 24o0; Berkeley, 800; Charles
ton, HOO; Colleton, 1900; Georgetown, 800;
Laurens, 200; Marion, 400; Orangeburg, 800;
Richland, 500; Sumter, 400; York, 300.
MAuNpAY THuRsDAY-To-dsy being Maun-
day Thursday, or Holy Thursday as it is some
times called, will be observed by special SER
vices in some Of the Episcopal Churches and
all OF the Roman Catholic Churches. The title
Maunday Thursday comes from the ceremony
of washing the feet in commemoration Of
Christ's washing the feet Of the Apostles. In
the ecclesiastical institutions the superiors
Catholic countries the sovereiens wash the feet
Of many of their pooc subjects. This ceremony
is called in the Rubric Mandatun,-the com.
mandment--and from this name is derived the
word Maunday.
In the Catholic Churches, the day is marked
by an array Of peculiar and solemn cersmo-
MES, which recur only once year. The mass
is celebrated as usual; but instead of one, two
'shosts" are consecrated, one Of which serves
for the "mass of the pre-sanctiAed" on Good
Friday, there being no propitiatory sacrifice
offered on that day, in Difference to the great
sacrifice on Calvary. After the service the re-
serve host is carried by the officiating priest,
in procession, 10 sacred repository near the
high altar, or in some part of the church, from
which it will be returned to the altar on Satur-
day, with the same procession. In accordance
with an ancient custom, all the temporary
tabernacles to which each host was conveyed is
brilliantly illuminated with pyramidal and
cross-shaped tapers, and adorned with flowers
and exotics.
The services of the day will be closed in the
evening by the chanting OF the Office Of the
Tenebra.
"TMTN" HAMs.-In some OF the stores
down town are to be seen curious looking bags,
which resemble exaggerated specimens of Bo-
Iogna ssusages-puffy, greasy, savory and
brown. Inquire what the nondescripts are,
and you will hear the echo-boned ham. Boned
ham, you VIII be further informed, is an inven-
tion by one David Tilton, of New York, mer-
chant, doing: business at No. Sc Harrison
street, who, i. is stated on the best authority,
used to stuff chickens with percussion caps,
during the war, and ship them to Havana
sfor a market" While in this business, he
came in contact with certain son of old
Adam, who reported that Tilton was running
the blockade; whereupon Tilton so arranged
one OF his fowl loads that it went off and de-
moralzed the informer. The same inventive
genius is now bestowed on hams, and it is said
that he is arranging machine by which he
can drive hog in at one end and turn him out
at the other in the shape of tooth brushes,
real, genuine Macassar hair oil, and these little
ten pound packages of unctious paste, now be-
coming known to every shipmaster, house.
keeper and lunch room on the continent. Til
ton adds to this speciality the business OF fur
nishing the trade with feathered bipeds, and
on call can supply anything, at any time from
e spring chicken to bona .tide grouse.
