notion that the Radical county ticket
amounts to much. Here it is! Jewcti

himself lifted for the post the partially OF
his Radical friends would, ii IL could,
assign him. Brown is comparatively un'
known in Cairo and that he should be
nominated over such men US contcndcd
with HIM for the nomination, may, at least,
be taken Ms un indication that the Radical
party of Alexander county has no reward
for it, faithful. Hay, Saup aud Winter
worked earnestly and with some effect in
the Radical ranks--not for few months,
hut for years. II Brown ever devoted q
day or n dollar for the advancement of
the Radicnlparty, his most intimate friends
ARE not aware Of the fact.
Mr.. Os,erloh, the candidate for coroner,
Is II quiet, excellent citizen, and Is pm, on

How far such u Init will serve that pur-
pose, rcuainsto be seen. The policy that
governed the w're.pullcrs in the convcn-

AhOnt Titles.

An odd advertisement appears in enc 81
the London morning papers, of a French
nobleman in the enjoyment of three su.
perior titles, who wish as to bestow them
by adoption on 'some g ntleman of wealth, -
or to marry a rich widow who might enjoy
them herself and besto'v them on her sons.
former United States Minister to an Eu-
ropean court bought high sounding Ital-
ian title, with armorial bearings all COM
plete, for his negro man servant. who was
made free by the act of emancipation OF
Mr.. Lincoln. Titles have ere now been
rather lightly regarded in France, and Mt
one time gave the bearer o rapid transit 10
another world via the guillotine. Tom
Moore tel q good story of an old French
nobleman who was not only stripped of
his titles but of his name by the revolution.
He went 10 ges a passport, and gave his
name as De St. Cyr. All prefixes and titles
having been abolished by law, he was told
by the officer that there was no such thing
as DE. s.Well." said he, make il out St.
Cyr." "But, Citizen, there are no longer

some confusion in France. and it may hap
pen that, before this cruel war is over, the
French nobleman who advertises his three
titles may find himself in the predicament
of the French nobleman with three names.
The people may possibly take it into their
heads tie do away with titles altogether

A CURIOUS balloon explosion occurred
the other day in tailor shop in Hartford.
A vender of toy balloons, such as are sold
upon the street for twenty-five cents each,
after displaying two or three balloons, was
about leaving the apartment, when his
string of blown up vessels-there were
eight or ten in the lot-fiew around and
came in contact with lighted cigar, which
one Mr.. John Burns was smoking. In an
instant there was terrific explosion, and
tie whole neighborhood was excited, many
persons rushing to the shop TO discover
the cause of the disturbance. The bal
looms, instead of being filed with air, as
many have supposed, contain gas. Two
persons were considerably injured by the
explosion, the vender eceiving burns about
the face and eyes, while Mr.. Burns's hair
and whiskers were thoroughly singed, and
his face and his arms were burned. AS
soon as news of the affair reached the po-
Ice Office, where the toy vender sought re-
dress for his loss, when no blame could at
tach to anybody but himself, the chief OF
police issued orders forbidding the sale OF
the balloons in the city.

Which Vas Right

We heard party of grammsrians yes
terday arguing for half an hour over the
question, 'Is it right to say six and seven
is eleven, or six and seven are eleven?" Some
were certain is was the proper term to en-
ploy ION the principle, perhaps, that what
ever is, is right, while others were equally
strenuous that are was the right word.
'Do you mean 10 say, sir, said one dis
tinguished grammarian, very much excited,
to another distinguished grammarian, 'that
six and seven are eleven?"
1T are, replied the other, equally ex-
cited.
Much confusion ensued, and it was fear
ed that collision would ensue between the
distinguished grammarians. In fact, after
conjugafin9 each other pretty sharply and
working themselves mp to the seiperiatie de-
gree of the wrath al mood, they did make
few pdrses at each others heads. In the
present tense of affairs. it was agreed to
leave the question TO the decision of the
Teutonic gentleman who brought their
lager. Said one of them
Hans, which il right, to say six and
seven is eleven, or six and seven are
eleven ?"

How Bulwer Looks.

1t is not often that the House of Lords is
favored with the presence Of its great
statesman novelist. This session, we be-
heve, Lord Lytton has never appeared ut
all, and last session he only showed him
self a few times, during the debate upon
the Irish Church bill. Yet, when he does
make his appearance in the distinguished
assemblage of which he is now a member,
he is beyond all question the most remark
able looking man seated upon the peers
benches. Not even Lord Derby, with his
massive Roman face, or Lord Granville, on
whose countenance shines all the urbanity
of the French statesman, or Lord Grey,
whose shrewd sagacity and irritable tenn
per are visibly depicted in his eyes and
mouth, can draw the attention Of the
stranger away from Lord Lytton when the
latter is in his place. His face has been
described by some as resembling the eagle;
by others il has been likened to the hawk.
We don't pretend to be able to say whether
it approaches most nearly to the eagle or
hawk; but no one who has seen it with IFS
two glittering eyes, and It's long. beak-like
nose, can wonder that men should seek
some smile for ii amongst the birds. Re-
markable is the effect this face produces
when it is seen in the midst of mass OF
the commonplace countenances ordinarily
seen in the House of Lords. 1t stands out
with distinctness which is positively
startling. 1t seems as though it refused to
mingle with the other constituents of the
scene-as though there was nothing in
common between it and ordinary faces
The eye passing over the rows of crowded
benches on a great debate, cannot pass over
that countenance. Instinctively it rests
upon it, and the mind feels that it is look
ing upon q man who is in every way excep-
ional.

Phosphate Beds in South Carolina.

Much interest has been excited within q
few years past by the discovery of extern
sive beds of phosphate of lime at the
mouth of the Ashley and Cooper rivers,
near Charleston, these covering from three
to four hundred square miles to depth OF
from six inches to three feet, and resting
Immediately above 6eposite OF cocene
mari. The phosphate consists mainly OF
nodules formed around cocene shells as o
nucleus, and furnishing about SIXTY per
cent. of phosphate of lime. Among the
nodules IN question are found sharks teeth
and cocene shells like those of the mari
beneath, and, according to Professor Sha-
Ter, resembling the species found at Gay
Head, on Martha's Vineyard. In the up
per layer of this bed occur bones of the
mastodon, of extinct horses and sheep,an
bits OF pottery. Although some geolo-
gists consider these rs belonging to
the same period "a that OF the
phosphate beds themselves, in Pro-
lessor Shaler's opinion they were intro
duced Of period by the agency of water.
Professor Sbaler thinks that thess beds were
formed after their upheaval, from the marls
beneath them; that the drainage of surface
water charged with carbonic acid acted
upon the upper layer of the mari and re-
moved the carbonate of lime, leaving the
phosphate to accumulate in the nodules
around the shells. He does not pretend to
account for the original appearance of the
phosphoric acid, which he thinks too great
in quantity to have been derived from the
bones of vertebrate animals. He suggests
however, that it might have been derived
from seaweeds, some kinds Of which are
known to contain it in appreciable quanti-
ty, and possibly from some pteropod mol
lusks. Professor Shaler looks upon the
phosphate beds in question as in the main
much like that of the sea bottom off the
southern coast, the recent dredgings and
soundings from which have been found to
contain an appreciable percentage of phos-
phoric acid.-Eli:or's Scientific Record, in
HnpeT's Magazine for August.

garrison towns for the manager of the the
atre to give free box 10 the General in
command Gen. Des Portes, then at the
head Ct the subdivision quartered al
Nismes, claimed the privilege, which had
been waived by his predecessor. The man.
ager offered him box. out he insisted on
n particular one, which happened to be LET
for the season to retired.judge. Furious
at being refused, he appealed to the Gen.
eral of division, who espoused his cause,
and made representation to the Project,
in consequence Of which the municipal
council of Nismes was ordered to hold q
special meeting and pass a resolution com
pelling the manager to comply with the
wi hes Of Gen DeslPortes. The council
met as desired, but, contrary to the desire
of the Project, voted unanimously agains

Hard Water for Drinking Purpose s
DIR. Letheby, in an article on the water
supply of London, states that water Of
moderate hardness, like that used in Lon
don, Paris, Vienna, and some other Euro
pean cities, is always to be preferred to
that which is entirely soft, as being best
suited for domestic purposes, on account
of being brighter to the eye and more
agreeable to the taste. He also makes the
singular announcement that the French
authorities are so well satisfied of tho su-
periority of hard water that they pass by
that or the sandy plains. near Paris. and
90 far away to the chalk hills of Cham
payne, where they find water even harder
than that of London; giving rs reason
for the preference that more of the con-
scripts from the saltwater districts are re-
jected, on account of the want of strength
of muscle, than from the hard-water dis
tricts, from which they conclude that the
calcareous matter is favorable to the FORM
alton Of the tissues.
DIR. Letheby further states that the NOR
tality IN England is greater, on an average,
in places where soft water is used, other
circumstances being equal, than where the
water i hard; and it is suggested that the
sparkling hard waters of the limestone dis
tricts are relished, not only because they
are pleasant to the eye, but on account of
some hygienic properties in the excess of
carbonic acid they contain, and possibly
because the percentage of lime acts medi
cinally upon the system. The Doctor con-
cludes by expressing his preference for the
very slightly hard water of London over a
softer quality, although reprehending the
use of water containing an excess of min
