SINCE work on the Southwestern
closed last Friday. and especially about
time for the arrival OF the hacks each
day, groups of the late employees Of the
company are seen anXiously looking for
the arrival of the payma-ter. The anx-
iety naturally increases each day, as
they have been repeatedly assured that
payment would be made this week.
We believe. and earnestly nope such
may be the case, a. it certainly ought.
The men are here, out Of employment
and upon expense, waiting for back
pay. Many of them. too, are really
needy, without tie whcrrwith to buy
feed OF shelter for their teams. Under
the circumstances, the Construction
Company undoubtedly did the right
and proper thing ia subscribing work
for the present. but it will be ultficuit to
excuse much further delay in the pay
meut of its hands.

A long and very sensible letter from
Charles Sumner was read before the
convention of colored men, held re.
Gently at Columbia, s. G. He gives
wholesome advice in reg .rd to the YES
tiges Of slavery, and how to get rid Of
them. The negro has been enamel pated
and enfranchised; the civil rights law
was designed for his protection, and vast
strides have been taken but there are
various cruel distinctions between white
and black still made in various parts Of
the country. The great contest Of the
age will not close until in schools, rail
way cars, hotels, etc, color distinctions
have been entirely done away with.
Mr.. Sumner further shows undlmin-
ished confidence in the republican par
ty. At one time he consorted with
Carl. Schurz, but he shows no DISPOSE
ton to follow the Missouri senator in
his crusade against a party of progress
and freedom. The discordant element
in the republican ranks is fast dwindling
into utter insigniticance.

Feeding Poultry.

Onions crc said to be an admirable
food for fowls, or rather adjunct to
the ordinary food. If given regular
ly, it is said they will prevent the at
tacks of more more ordinary diseases
Of poultry. Meat is said by author
itics to be an essential food for poul-
try, especially in the winter, when
they cannot get the worms they pick
up in the summer. Others, again,
main ain that the habit of giving
meat to poultry is productive Of
grave evils-the cause Of many OF
the worst forms Of disease which
affects them. BY those authorities
it is called an unnatural food, inas>
much as the digestive organs Of the
birds are rot fitted to assimilate it.
There must, we think, be. some mis-
take in all this; for We know Of
surety that fowls do eat, when they
can get it, and entirely Of their own
accord, an enormous Quantity Of an
imal food Here il is not cooked !;
the game found in natures garden is
raw. If meat is an unnatural for
poultry, they certainly have a most
unnatural appetite for it. Throw in
one lump Of meat amongst a lot of
fowls; if not literally bone of con-
tcntion, it is something vastly like it,
80 eager are all to get crap at it.
We believe the habit of giving much
food in short space of time to poul-
try is a bad one. II you notice their
habits, you will see that the process
of picking up their food upder the
ordinary, or what we call the natural
condition, is very slow one. Grain
by grain does the meal get taken, and
Will tho aggregate no small amount
Of sand, small pepbles, and the like,
all Of which passing into the crop,
assist digestion greatly: But in the
"hcn" mode of feeding poultry, q
great heap is thrown down, and the
birds allowed to "peg away at such o
rate that their crop is filled far too
rapidly, and the process Of assimila-
tion is slow, painful and incomplete
No wonder that so many cases Of
choked are met with under this treat
ment.

Vices Of Genius. .

Coleridge was such a slave to liquor
that be had to be kept an, unwilling
prisoner by Christopher North on an
occasion when some literary perfor-
mances had to be complete by q cer-
tain time; and on that very day, with
out taking leave of any member Of
the family, lie ran at full speed down
the.avenue to EIleray and was soon
hidden, not in the groves of the val
ley, but in some obscure den, where,
drinking among low companions, his
magnigcent mind was soon brought
to level of the vile. When his spree
was over, he would return to the So
ciety Of good men. :.,..
De Quincy was such slave to the
use Of opium that bis daily allowance

An ounce Of laudanum a day pros,

1t was no unfreqnent sight to find
him asleep on the rug before the
fire in his own room, his head on q
book, and his arms crossed on his
breast. When hi' torpor from the
opium had passed away, he was ready
for company until about daylight.
In order to show him off, his friends
had to arrange their supper parties
go that, sitting until three or four in
the afternoon, he might be brought
to that point at which, in charm and
power of conversation, he wrs so tru-
ly wonderful. 5.
Burns was not less drunkard than
Colerdge. 1t was a weakness Of

state Of beastly intoxication, uncou-
scious rs log, and died that night in
the raving of delirium tremens!
Douglass Jerrold was a devotee of
gin; so also was Byron. Steele; the
brilliant authorof the Christian Hero,

The Ethics Of Dress.

Imprimis' The first instinct about a
new fashion is a true one.. Don't
wait till yonr eye has lostits accuracy
and your judgment it's edge. Subject
the thing at once to it's general rule,
and bow TO the decision. .-....
I'd. What suits one person does not
suit another. Know thyself.
Sd Dress should supplement- good
points and correct bad ones. Thick
and thin, long and short, are not all
to be subjected to one Procustean
style.
9TH. Colors should be harmonious,
should be massed-should be becom-
ing Id est. many little points or
blotches of color sprinkled over q
costume produce a disagreeably pied
and spcckled effect, as of nonstrous
robins egg, or a pIump pudding.
One tint SHOULD prevail, relieved by a
contrasting tint. No amount of fash
ionablo prestige can make an unbe-
coming color becoming. "Nile green"
will turn some people in to oranges,
though twenty Empresses ordain its
adoption .......
5lh. Lines should be con.
tinuous, graceful and feminine. 1t is
better to look like a woman (if you
happen to be one) than like anything
else-even a fashion plate!
9Th. Ornaments must be subordi-
nate. Nature, with all here profusion
never forgets fundamental law.
7th. Above all. things, be neat.
Dainty precision and freshness is es-
sential to a woman as a flower. -
9th. Individuality is the rarcst and
cheapest thing in the world.
9th, and lastly. Stylish" is Of all
the words in the English language

How we go to Sleep.

The immediate antecedents oi
slccp-a luuyuor, sensation Of weight
in the upper eye-lids, partial tempo,
rary relaxation Of certain muscles,
as shown by the nodding and dropping
Of the head upon the breast, compur-
alive obtuseness to external impress
ions, yawning, etc, call for no special
remark. The order in which tho
muscles lose their power is, however,
deserving Of passing notice. The
muscles which move the arms and
legs usually become relaxed before
those whi,h support the head, and
the latter before those which main.
tain the body in an erect position.
There ure, however, many exceptions
to this rule, us may be seeh in achurch
on hot Sunday, when some Of the
congregation are almost certain to be
seen with their chins quietly resting
on their chests, but yet quietly grasp
ing their rrayer.books. Moreover,
in relation to the special senses, that
Of sight is first lost, the closing Of
the eyc-lids setting up barrier be-
tween the rctina and the external
world; but, independently Of the
eycllds-if they have been removed
by the surgeon, or cannot be. closed
through dlsease-thc light is still the
first sense whose sense is abolished.
Some animals, as the hare do not shut
their eyes when asleep; and in cases
of somnambulism their eyes remain
open although the sense Of sight is
temporarily lost. The other senses,
as DR.. Hammond tells MS, are not al
together abolished, but their acute
ness is much lesssned. Taste is first
to disappear, and then smell hearing
follows and touch is the most per-
sistent of the senses. So, conversely
person is most easily awakened by
touch: next in order by sound, and
then by smell.
