there we're ten in all-some say fifteen !! The

THE ELECTION.

The election returns come in slowly, ow-
ing to the storm which prevailed yester,
day. Enough has been ascertalned, how
ever, to warrant the assertion that the Radl-
cal party has made heavy gains throughout
the entire country. States that have gone for
Mr.. Greeley have gone by decreased nalorl-
ties, as compared with the Conservative vote of
last year. In Tennessee, Andrew johnson Is
defeated for Congressman at Large, and Horace
Maynard. Radical, is probably elected. The
latest news gives Virginia to Grant by "A small
majority, the consequence of the apathy of the
people, We lose the Richmond and perhaps
the Lyuchburg Districts. Gen. Hunton is cleo
ted BY about $500 Notwithstanding ahead OF
Greeley considerably In New York the Radl
Gals gain one Congressman from New York
city, and S. S. Cox, the able DICTATOR and gen.
ial gentleman, We are sorry to say, Is defeated.
Fernando Wood and james Brooks are re-elec-
ted. Delaware elects a Radical Congressman
it is feared, for the first time in years defeat
ing G. w. Wright, the Democratic candidate.
New Jersey gives some 5000 majority Tor
Grant. The entire West gives an uubroken
electoral vote for Grant. The election in Lii
nois defeats Trumbull's return to the Senate,
and Austin Blair, the Liberal candidate for
Governor of Michigan, has been beaten badly
For four years more Radical rule will prevail,
and by that time, it is hoped, that all who re-
fused to vote for Mr. Greeley, or abstained
from voting at all, will not have to regret their
course

AFTER-D1NSER NAps.-Many persons, par
ticularly the middle-aged and elderly, allow
themselves this real indulgence; and the Gus
tom, if not carried to excess, is by many medi-
cal men considered beneficial rather than
otherwise, as by keeping the body in state
of quietude, digestion is promoted and assist
ed. In Southern countries the midday sleep,
termed the siesta, is almost universally taken,
and wonderfully refreshes the frame enervated
and weakened by the intense heat 1t is, how
ever, recommended that such sleep be not in
dulged to too great length, as persons inya-
riably find such prolonged slumber in the day
time causes them to awake dull, irritable, and
unrefreshed; while most have experienced, on
having been accidentally reused up after abso.,
lutte forgetfulness, sensation of lightness and
renewed vigor, unattended by peevishness or
the least desire to sleep again. Medical men,
in sanctiouing the indulgence, particularly ad-
wise that it be taken in reclining posture, but
by no means lying horizontally, the stomach,
in the latter position, pressing on the intestines
and causing the blood to be impelled to the
head. Corpulent persons, and those who have
a tendency to appoplexy, should be particular
ly mindful of this point.

Household Training.

Halls Journal Of Health says: Training
girls for household duties ought to be consid-
cred as necessary as instruction In writing and
arithmetic, and quite as universal. We are in
our house more than half of our existence, and
it is the household surroundings which affect
more largely the happiness or misery of do
mestic life. If the wife knows how to keep
house, if she understands how to set table, if
she has learned how things ought to be cooked,
how beds should be made, how carpets should
be swept, how furniture should be busted, how
the clothes should be repaired and turned and
altered, and renovated; if she knows how pur-
chases can be made to the best advantage, and
understands the laying in of provisions, how
to make them go farthest and last longest if
she appreciates the importance OF system, or
der, tidiness, and the quiet management of
children and servants, then she knows how to
make little heaven of home, how to keep her
husband from the clubhouse, the gaming liable
and the wine-cup. Such q family will be train
ed to social respectability, to business success,
and TO efficiency and usefulness in whatever po-
sition may be allotted to them. 1t is safe to
say that not one girl in ter in our large towns
and cities enters into married life who has
learned to bake loaf of bread, to purchase
roast. painting, to sweep carpet or to cut
and fit and make her own dress. How much
the perfect kHoWltuBc vi IHcoO CninSo uSaiS
upon the thrift, the comfort and health of fam
lilies may be conjectured, but not calculated by
figures. 1t would be of Unreasonable advan-
tage to make beginning by attaching kitch.
en- to every girls school in the nation, and
have lessons given daily in. the preparation of
all the ordinary articles of food and drink for
tho table, and how to purchase them in market
to the best advantage, with the result Of large
saving of money an increase of comfort and
higher health in every family in the land.
ave think that boys also should be trained
for household duties. Not perhaps in precise
ly the same way, or to the same extent as girls,
but sufficiently to make them wise advisers and
helpers of their wives. No man who never
undertook to prepare three comfortable meals
day, or to do family washing, or to sweep
and dust house, or to mend and make cloth
ing, has any adequate conception of the care
and labor these household matters involve.
Therefore, husbands are too often careless in
providing help exactng in their demands upon
their wives, and, worst of all, underestimate
the value of her services. If boys were train
ed to house-work sufficiently to appreciate its
value, no man would ever say that he support
ed his Wife If they had ever helped to tend
the baby husbands would seldom neglect the
mother of their children"

THE Duty OF TIE HoUR.-It is said that
in some counties, where no Democratic ticket
is in the field, the Republicans have offered to
nominate Conservatives of high position and
ripe ability amongst their candidates for the
State Legislature.
The character of the State Government is
mainly determined by the character of tie
legislative department.. A score of brave and
able men, in the Senate and House, would
have made the plundering and perjuring OF the
past four years next to impossible. With a
good Legislature, no Governor or Treasurer is
potent for serious harm. Without good Leg
islature, neither Moses and Melten nor Tom
linson and Greene can give practical shape to
the fair promises which are their only political
capital. No pains, in obtaining better class
of representatives, will be thrown away. Each
fearless and capable member will be OF inesti-
mable service to the people.
These are our convictions, and we, therefore,
express the hope that no citizen will allow
any squeamishness as to the dement's Of the
rival factions, or any pressure of private affairs,
to prevent him from accepting nomination as
member of the Legislature of the State. The
duty will be irksome, and the companionship
unpleasant, but there is as much patriotism
shown and as much glory won, in surrenderlng
prejudice and comfort as in shedding blood In
battle. Of those to whom much has been
! given, much il demanded South Carolina ex-
poets every man to do his duty.-Charleston

THINGS FARMER SHOULD NOT Do.-A
farmer should never keep more cattle, horses
sheep or hogs than he can keep in good order
an animal in high order the first Of December
is already half wintered.
The farmer should never be so immersed in
political matters as to forget to sow his wheat
dig his potatoes, and bank up his cellar; mol
should he be so inattentive to them as to re.
main ignorant of those great questions of ma.
tional and state policy, which will always agi-
tate more or less free people.
A farmer should shun the doors of bank as
he would an approach of the plague or chol.
era; banks are for men of speculation, and
theirs is business with which farmers should
have little TO do.
A farmer should never be ashamed of his
calling; we know that no man can be entirely
independent, yet the farmer should remember
that if any one can be said to possess that en-
vable distinction, he is the man.
No farmer should allow the reproach of neg
lecting education to lie against himself OF
family; if knowledge is power, the beginning
of it should be early and deeply laid in the
district school,
4 farmer should never use ardent spirits as
drink; if, while undergoing severe fatigue
and the hard labors of the summer, he would
enjoy robust health, let him be temperate in all
things.-Southcrn Planter and Farmer.

DRESSING FOR CHuRcH.-Thcrc was time
when good taste demanded the use, of the
plainest clothes in the sanctuary, when the
wealthest were distinguished for their con-
spicuous absence of personal adornment, and
sartorial display was q mark of vulgarity at
such times and places. But now it would al
most appear as if, whatever might be thought
of modest garb in other places, the proper
costume for the house of God where, theoreti-
origin and destiny, were an agglomeration OF Of
all all the iewelry, and all the c6ignons, and all
the paniers. and all the feathers and furbelows
in ones wardrobe. The wearer is to carry all
this piled agony to the sanctuary as to fair
as if her errand were not so much to praise as
to be appraiscd-and there employ the sacred
time in envious comparison of her own noun
tain of millinery with the Himalayan triumphs
of her neighbor.

How CARpEr-BAGGERs BUILD RAILROADS
IN ARKASsAs.-They know thing or two in
Arkansas about building railroads. This is the
way they do it: The President of railway
company gets on good terms with the Estate
House ring" and lobbies through the Legisa-
ture a grant of 900 mile, with the proviso
that the bonds are to be issued at the compile
tion of each ten miles of track. The President
borrows enough iron to lay ten miles, puts it
down, draws his $4,000; takes up the iron,
laws it on the next ten miles, draws the second
$4,000, and repeats this process until the
whole one hundred and twenty miles are built.
Then the borrowed iron is returned, the road is
left in precisely the condition it was at first, and
the President decamps to New York and sells
his bonds.
