The Carpet-baggers in South
Carolina.

We nave already helped to bring
10 light The mi<dccdS of some men
il high places in Texas, Georgia,
North Carolina aud elsewhere,
"ntt on yesterday gave the public
" sorry picture Of the results OF
carpot-bag rule in South Carolins.
What a shameful exhibit it is!
BY Juggling with figures and ma
nipuIat!ng artfuily contrived Ia
bleS, :. ring Of adventures kept
the people Of South Carolina us
completely in the dark about the
finances ofthc State as though their
false returns had been printed in
Sanscrit. They prophcsicd smooth
things while the ship was drittin.
into the whirlpool OF bankruptcy.
They lied about the condition OF
the treasury regularly, and at
fixed intervals. with all the sys-
tc"l OK p:acticrd mountebanks.
Bonds were printed in New York
by the rcam and sold in Wall
street for wha, they would fetch.
\ so-clIled State agent. street
broker: handle! millions Of these
bonds, without giving shadow OF
responsible Scca:ity for the intcS-
rity OF his dealings. The Cover
nor, Treasurer and Comptroller.
ticn2:ai Wed with each other in
'ahr!rating statements intended
for .hc public eye: while tho reA!
facts and tisnres in the desperate
case were kept in the secrecy Of
their own ctliccs. There seemed
to be no such thing us sounding
bottom in the wild stream which
rushed out Of the State Treasury.
An investigating committee: APP
pointed by the frightened Legis-
laturc, came up to New York to
look into the finances Of the State,
which hal no apparent existence
outside of Wall street; and these
yrntlcmcn Turned their tour into
i holiday trip, and relaxed the
stern justice Of their intent into l.
wild junkcting 1T an up town ho-
tel.
But the end has come at last.
The fabric of fuISchood has col
Iapsed the public credit is mori-
bnn!. The people have been de-
ceivcd rs long as possible, and, at
ter such statements as s7.000,000
debt in 1870. and s9500,000 in
September, 1871, VIC grasp the AS
founding fact that on the 20lh
November, 1871, South Carolina
owed the enormous sum OF Sl5.-

Democratic enquirer. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1867-1873, 1871-06-28

There is a story extant of a
man who had the toothache.
He was q quarryman by pro-
fession, and he concluded that
the best way to rid himself of
the tooth would be to blast it
out. So he filed his mouth
with powder, fred a slow
match, and ran around the
corner to get ont Of the way of
the result. When tho explo,
sion occurred he was surprised
to find how close it seemed. 1t
was very successful so far as
the tooth was concerned; but
when the man went hotne the
general aspect of his mouth re-
sembled that of the Delaware
water gap. The dentist says
he would not undertake to fit
him with q new set of teeth of
the necessary size for less than
thousand dollars.

Preparing Tripe.

AS soon as possible after the
animal is killed have the stom-
ach emptied and well washed
in cold water; sprinkle lime or
wood ashes over the inside
fold it carefully and lay it into
a deep vessel; cover it with
tepid water for ak hours
scrape off the dark part. When
clean, rinse it in several waters,
and again lay the tripe away
for n day and night in weak
salt water, in a perfectly clean
vessel. Boil the tripe Quitting
it in cold water) until a straw
can be easily run through it,
and the edges look transparent;
skim closely, cut it in uniform
slices of convenient size fol
serving, pour over milk to Gov
er it (part water if desired) and
keepit closely covered, Should
the milk turn a little sour, il
will not injure the tripe, as il
is usual to add vinegar in cook
ing it. 1t should not be KEEP
long. Fry, stew, or make into
q hash.

The immediate antecedent

of sleep-as' langour,, 4 sensa-
ton of weight of upper oye-
lids, partial temporary relaxa-
ton of certain muscles, as
shown by nodding and drop
ping the head upcM the breast,
comparative obtuseuess to ex-
ternal impressions etc..-call
for no special remark. The
order in which che muscles lose
their power. is, however, de-
serving Of a passing notice.
The muscles which move the
arms and legs usually become
relaxed before those which hsup-
port the head,e and the latter
before those which maintain
+thccbody in an erect position.
There are, however, many ex
ceptions to this ruley as may be
seen in church on % hot Sunday
when some of the congrega
ton are almost certain to be
seen with their chins quietly
testing on their chests, but yet
tightly grasping their prayer
books. Moreover, in relation
to the special senses, that Of
sight is the first lost, the clos
ing of the eyelIids setting up a
barrier between the retiMa and
the external world; but inde-
pendently of the eyelids--if if
they have not been removed
by the surgeon, or cannet he
closed through disease-the
sight is still the first sense
whose function is abolished =
Some animals, as the hare, do
not shut their eyes when asleep;
and in cases of somnambulism
the eyes remain open, although
the sense of sight is Temporal
rily lost. The other senses, as
DR.. Hammond tells us, are not
altogether abolished; but their
acuteness is much iessehed.-
Taste is the first to disappear,
and then smell; hearing follows,
and touch is the most persistent
of the senses. So, conversely,
a person is most easily awaken,
ed by tactual expressions, next
in order by sounds, and then
by smell.

Only One Child.

It is harder to bring up one
child we'll than six. In a large
family, the children help to
bring one another up. 1t is
not merely that the elder ones
assist in taking care Of the
younger, but they all influence
one another profitably in 9th.
er ways; vanity is sometimes
laughed into modesty, and ar
rogance is snubbed into humil'
ity. Each child is kept con
stantly in mind that Others
have rights and feelings, and
preferences, as well as himself
he forms the habit of consider
ing those rights, feelings and
preferences; and he is thus pre-
pared to "get along" aswe say
with those among whom his lot
may be cast. Parents with one
child have a difficult task, and
their best way is to get for then
solitary chick as many play
fellows Of its own age as they
conveniently can. 1t rs bad
for a child to associate too mucl
with persons of fmature age.
