New Health Maxims.

DR.. Dio Lewis prononnces some rath-
startling propositions in his book on ny
giene. For instance:
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are
very poor food tor brain and muscle.
The common notion that our health
and life depend upon a mysterious Prov
idence is downright inidelity. a child
goes cut of hot room with naked arms
and legs in pursuit OF its daily supply of
poisoned candies, and then dies of Group.
Is that mysterious If man indulges
himself until he gets the gout, and the
disease attacks the heart and kills him,
is his death mystery?
The reason that the American people
are stch dyspeptics is that they eat aud
drink so much and eat and drink so fast
The teeth will not decay if they are
kept clean. A tooth brush is very
good thing, but good tooth pick il
worth an armful of tooth brushes. There
is gentleman now living in the city OF
New York, who has three beautiful front
teeth which he purchased of an Irish
man. His own teeth were removed aud
instantly Patrick's were transferred.
The word biliousness is sort of re-
spectacle cover for pggishness. People
are not bilious when they eat as they
should. The Greek and Roman armies
ate but once day.
The commos impression that tomatoes
are the healthiest of all vegetables is a
mistake. If eaten at all, it should be
with great moderation, and never raw.
Tomatoes have sometimes produced sali-
vation. DR.. Lewis know young wo-
man who lost all her teeth from excess.

TIE WoRKINGMAN's MlsrAKE.-Now,
when body of laborng men and wo-
men have so far ceased to regard the
rights of their employers as to be willing
to take from their pockets the largest
sum they can get, without any regard
to the quality or quantity Of service they
render in return, they have become
shamefully demoralized. Such 2emor-
alization has taken place, and it is high
time that reform be instituted. Tho
demagogucs who are bringing this ques-
tion into politics are a nuisance to society
at large, and special curse to the labo.-
ers whose cause they pretend TO espouse,
The cry of these demagogues against
the despotism of capital ia as senseless
as it is mischievous. The laboring men
of this country have never felt such
desno,ism rs that which has been exer,
eised upon them by their own organi-
cations, determining whether they shall
labor or NOT, reducing wages to uniform
ity without reference 10 skill and faithful.
ness, and degrading them from those
wholesome moralities which are as essen
tial to their own self respect as to the
security of :he confidence Of their EN-.
ployers. Nothing is so much needed
by the laboring classes to-day as COM
biuations and associations for making
themselves better worth the wages they
receive, and creating in the quality of
their labor a valid claim for the increased
wages which they desire.-Dr. Holland.

The Puritans.
N 0. ". HOLMES.

When the Puritsns came over,
Our hills and swamps to clear,
The woods were full OF cstamounts
And Indians red as deer,
With tomahawks and scalping knives,
That made folks heads look queer
o, The ship from England usep TO bring
A hundred wigs year
The crows came cawing through the air
To pluch the Pilgrims corn,
The bears came snuffing round the door
Whene'er babe was born.
The rattle snakes were bigger round
Than the but of the old rams horn,
The deacon blew at meeting time
On every Sabbath" morn.
But soon they knocked the wigwams low,
And pine tree trunk and limb
Began to sprout among the leaves
In shape of steeples SLIM
And out the little wharves were stretched
Along the oceans rim,
And up the little schoOlhousc shot
To keep the boys in trim.
And when at length the college rose.
The sachem cooked his eye
At every tutors meagre ribs
Whose coat tails Hhistled by;
But when the Greek and Hebrew words
Came tumbing from their jaws,
The copper-colored children all
Ran screaming to the squaws.
They had not then the dainty things
That commons now afford,
But succotash and hominy
Were smoking on the board;
They did not rattle round in gigs,
Or dash IN long-toil blues,
But always on Commencement days
The tutors blacked their shoes.
God bless the ancient Puritans
Their lot was hard enough;
But honest hearts make iron arms,
And tender maids are tough;
So love and faith have formed and fed
Our true-hOrn Yankee stuff
And kept the kernel in the shell
The British found so rough.

RuRGLARIEs MADE EAsY,-The recent
manufacture OF oxygen gas on COM
mercal scale, and the facility with which
it eau be compressed into cylinders, and
transported from one place to another,
has suggested its use for a purpose little
anticipated. The theft in the night can
place himself in front of safe with his
two cylinders of compressed oxyhydro-
gen, aud, with a oxyhydrogen blow-Pipe,
can in few seconds bnrn holes of any
size in the hardest metal that was ever
invented. The only safety is in keeping
the burglar ont, for this fire drill will in
few minutes work noisely away into
the strongest safe that was ever con-
structed. The interposition Of solid
stone between the sheets OF metal might
occasion some embarrassment, yet the
lock can easily lie burnt off, so as to ex-
pose its mechanism, and thus enable the
burglars to slide the bolts. "What

Scientific Anleridn, from which wo take

debt will be liquidated at the present market
price Of about so cents on the dollar. Presto I!
the work is accomplished. This, If we un-
derstand him Alright, is q concise statement
of the novel plan which Dit. Coogan urges
upon the public.
Captious criticism is not to our taste, and
we recognize the fact that tupon the manage
ment of the city debt depends, in no incon-
siderable degree, the rise or the decline oil
Charleston. We are constrained to say,
nevertheless, that it would be difficult to
contrive plan Of redemption or extension
less practicable or more open to objection
than that which Mr.. Coogan describes. In
the first place, the City of Charleston cannot
negotiate per cent. loan at par. This is
| more than the United States can do at this
time. 1t may fairly be said that per
cent. Charleston bond could not, under
highly favorable conditions, sell for more
.ban 60 or 10 cents on the dollar To obtain
50, 500, 900 in currency it would be necessary
| to issue bonds for about S4,Oe0,OOO, which
would, at once, upset the economical calcu-
lations based upon the expectation that S
per cent. City Of Charleston bonds would
bring far more than per cent. State bonds
or s per cent. railroad. securities There Is
o more fatal flaw in the scheme. The city
cannot, of course, compel the holders OF city
stock to take so or 60 cents on the dollar
for their claims. These contend that all the
real property in the city is liable for the debt,
and that the city can be made to pay as the
debt falls due. Why, then, should holder
of city stock sacrifice half his property in
order that the city debt may be reduced to
one half it's present volume? The interest
on the stock can be used in payment OF
taxes. Overdue stock, is, we believe, taken
by the city at 70 cents on the dollar.
Charleston must pay one Of these days, or be
sold out. The stockholder prefers to wait.
He might be willing to exchange his stock
for long city bond, bearing the same rate
Of interest; but he will not give up sloo for
$50 merely because by so doing he would
confer benefit upon the city. Charleston,
then, could only redeem its undue stock by
buying it in open market; and any attempt
of this kind would, In few days, put the
stock beyond reach. The purchase OF
$3.50, 900 of stock would run the price up to
rs or 80; and to dream OF buying up
SIS, 900, 900 at so cents, or thereabouts, is
an absurdity. The Coogan plan, in truth,
hardly admits of minute discussion. 1t does
not advance the city one title towards the So
luton of the knolty question, which before
long must receive rational and honest
solution.

Threatened Impeachment of Governor
Scott.


The excitement among the Columbia Rad
icals, in regard to the disturbed condition OF
affairs in the up-country, is increasing in
intensity. The ultra Radicals bitterly oe-
nounce Governor Scott and threaten his i'm
peachment; the head and front of his offend
ing being that he has not declared marital
law in Union and Spartanburg Counties, and
har not dispatched brigade Of negro mill
tia to the front, to gag and overawe the
whites Governor Scott appears to hold the
opinion, that United States troops, if any,
should be sent, and in this view he is sus-
tanned, we are sure, by the few Conserva-
tiyes in the General Assembly, as we'll as by
all thoughtful citizens. In the meanwhile,
the people Of Union county have already,
in public meeting, declared their pur-
pose to maintain the peace and to
hold all offenders to strict accountability.
Similar action has been taken in Spartanburg
County; and it is evident that public senSi-
ment is actively opposed to, and is deter
mined to prevent, any recurrence OF tae
acts of violence which have tarnished the
fair fame of the people. The efIectof senl-
ing negro militia to Union and Spartanburg
Counties will be to add fuel to the flame, as
we'll as to paralyze the efforts OF the true
friends OF tranquility and good order. Gov
ernor Scott, according to our information, is
taking wise and prudent course. We
trust that he may stand firm.

Radlcaltsm and the worls,ngman.

gressmen from Ohio, In the course OF q
speech upon the "Heathen Chinee," showed,

towards the capitalist at the expense of the
workingman. He said
"Look at the following as slight example
in regard to the tariff alone. Behold the com.
parison between the tariff on twelve articles
used almost exclusively By the rich, and the
