a FRENCH physician states that
the fashion Of wearing high heeled
shoes ".has produced distinct dis
eases not only of the distorted foot,
but of the body. As the frame is
thrown permanently into an un-
natural position. it affects the spine,
and as it is question of balancing,
nervous irritation sometimes oc.
ours. You see by the expression
of the face how much woman
suffers who has walked about or
even stood in high-heeled boots"

From the Grcenvillo Eaterpr;se we
learn that "the studio of this artist
will, in few days, be closed. He
takes Ills departure for Lexington, Vir-

PoMERoY, of New York City, copgratu-
lates tho artist on his good fortune iu
having secured such subject, the sue
cessful execution of which will place
his name among the few whose works
are not alone for to-day, but for all time.
From careful examination of tho last
productions ofthc gifted son of Carolina,
we do not hesitate to say, that he will
produce work that will mako US feel
the true dignity of man. His touch is
bold, and tho entire coloriug of his
portraitures is fresh and warm as in
life. His beautiful creations arc en-
veloped in naturc's own atmosphere
the lights and shades bearing an impress
which tho hand Of genius alone can give,
for soul brcathes through all. We
wish him q speedy return to his native

l,IkAUDULENT YOTING.

We are informed that S. cervI hi nH.etl
, roc, have left Robeson County, y. c.,
Within the last few days, for the ostcn.
sih'e purpose Of working on railroads in
this State; also, that the impression is
very general that these "railroad hands"
arc moved across the line Hut M.y aouy
cote .E' StoH ana Ra. T. ut tie IN :
p."0cahJ e'ctiv"s.
This information is, we have evei =
reason to believe, exactly correct. The
Ring candidates know that their pros,
poets arc exceedingly gloomy, and they
would so almost any length to obtain
few hundred outside votes. 1t is advi.
sable, at all events, that the Reformcrs
should keep an eye upon every new
conner. A residence of one year in
South Carolina is the main qualification
OF avoter, and every voter is required to
swear that he .s duly qualified. This
should render it easy to detect any
attempts Mt fraudulent voting, as we'll as
to mako an example Of the offenders.
Prevention, however, in all these cases
is better cure. Tho Rcformers must bo
upon their guard-CAas. Nc,os.

Our good friend Of the Star is rather

always found on. the side OF virtue and
patriotism, and hcuce thoir cspou5al Of
the reform cause is warm, but thoy are
far from anything like taking the stump,
on this or any other subject. They are
tho inner citadel of our social purity,

again, God bless them. 80

Personal,

We were much gratificd, on Monday
last, by brief visit from our friend,
JOSEPH 4. WALSH, Esq, of Horny
County, and brother of our esteemed
fellow. citizen, Col. T. v. WALSH. Mr..
WALSH is an earnest and thorough
going Reformor, forcible speaker and
n gentleman Of high responsibility, and
has done good service in the cause. He
reports tho white people of his county
fully united on the platform Of tho Re-
form party. Old grey-headed citizens
who havo not voted for years, and who
had previously expressed determination
not to do so again, will go to the polls,
on "Wednesday noxt, and cast their
ballots against the rulo of ruin and COR
ruption that now stalks in our coun oils
Of State.
If tho white people Of tho whole
State were thus unit, there would be
no doubt Of tho success of the movem ent

"AILow THE Holy SPIRIT To ACr"-Among
the official documents recently published in
Paris is a dispatch from NJ. de Bonneville, the
French Ambassador at Rome, giving an account
of his audience with the Holy Father. We ex-
tract from it the following lines:
Respecting the laborsyof the Council, the
questions which it will discuss, and the decl-
sions at which it may arrive in the end, the
Pope avoided any expression which could com-
nit him personally to any opinion or TO any
expectation reliance must be placed IN the
Fathers of the Council, who, with Gods help,
times in which we live, for the good of religion
and for the interests of the Church."
On this the Journal des Debats remarks, in its
issue of the 14th nlt
IT. The Pope's reply may be summed up thus;
ALLOW tie Holy Spirit to act'-and tins IS
also in perfect conformity with theological
doctrine when once it is q matter of faith, as
it is that the Holy Ghost inspires the decisions
of the Bishops assembled in Council one can
not in fact, understand the interposition of
any lay Government for the purpose of either
hindering or limiting that inspiration"
The same paper continues
"The Pope added that the premature discus
sion of certain quest ions mi ht be regretted,
since it would have been better to reserve them
for the Council, if that body deemed it oppor-
tune to eXamine%thcm. Whether TINS was On
allusion to the book of Mgr. Maret or to the
blity question: +,-ete-4+et know at all, since the
Pope did not think fit to speak more clearly.
All we can say is that from the letters ad-
dressed by NJ. Louis Ncuillot to the Uhtrcrs, the
NUitramoutane press does netseem to be in any
less good odof than before with the Holy See"

IBLEs-MoRALTrY.-We copy the
following from exchange. We have but one
remark to make. Suppose the transaction had
occurred in any Catholic country, what would
be the differences drawn?
Trading a Horse for a Fife lvith tico Children
and a Dog ThrotUR h.-On Tuesday last while
the trial of the ejectment suit of Taylor's heirs
VS.. Hornbeck and Others, was progressing be-
(, fore q jury, in the conrt house, in Newport,
KY, . singular transaction was disclosed by
the evidence, which created not a little sur
prise and merriment in the court room. The
defendant called a witness by the name of Isaac
Yelton for the purpose of impeaching the testi-
mony of man named VIM. Orcutt who had
testified on behalf of the plaintiffs After the
direct examination of Yelton concluded
he was turned over to one of the attorneys for
the plaintiffs for cross-examination, when the
following evidence was elected:
-Attorney--Are yoaan circuit on good termsf
Witness-Yes sir.

did you not have a difficulty with him about
that
Witness mover took his wife away from
him.
Attorney-Did not you and a man named
Gosney take his wife away 2
Witness-His wife went away with me and
Gosney but we did not take her away from
Orcutt. There was no difficulty at all about it;
for his wife, bnt found that had been I'M
posed on aud returned her to him, and it was
all right. There was no quarrel or difficulty
about it.

he put on me two children and dog SO ], re-
turned her to him. do not mean that he
cheated me in the trade, for the transaction
WAS all fair; but he imposed OF zne-he got the
-hest of the hargain.-l had 40 use for the two
children and the dog. -==.=
This testimony Was given with the utmost
GOODNESS, and ina manner which indicated that
the witness regarded TIE transaction as entire
Iy legitimate and proper. He is nau OF ordi-
nary intelligence andh has been for Il long time
a Unstable in the upper cad of Campbell coun-
ty. After having Tescinled the c"mt1nct with
Orcutt it is presIi44ed that ho'is nuN prepared

submitted to bill. Gentlemen who would
rather winter Il hHSss than wife might iiud it
to their advantage to give him ci,ii, bat they
must beaF-in ntad that he declines 20 deal in
children dogs.
