windows of themselves, to let eternal beauty

TEE BEST SoCIETY-"No company, or good
company," was motto given by distin-
guished man to all his young friends. 1t was
a motto he had always endeavored to follow as
far as lay in his power, and it was: very wise
one. :,
Another man, of high position in the world,
makes it rule to associate with high-minded,
intelligent men, rather than with fashionable
idlers; and he said he had derived more
intellectual improvement from them than from
ali the books he ever read.
Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton often spoke of
the great benefits he had derived from his visits
to a particular family. Their works and exam
pie stimulated him to make the most Of his
powers. cit has given color to my whole
fife," he said. Speaking of his success at the
university, he remarked, 81 can ascribe it to
nothing but my visits to this family, where
caught the infection of self improvement"
Surely, if our visits have such an influence
upon our characters for life, it should be mat
ter of serious importance to US in what families
we allow ourselves to be intimate Boys and
girls form attachments very easily, and often
With very little forethought. In this, as in all
things else, you should not fail to take advice
of those who are older and wiser, and never,
never choose fol- friend one against whom you
have been warned by those who dearly love
YOU. There are people whose very presence
seems to lift you up ina better, higher atmos-
phere. Choose such associates whenever in
your power, and the more you can live in their
society the better, for both mind and heart.

but companion OF fools shall be destroyed.

SHEEP RA1sINe.-With our genial climate
and short winters and we may add large area
of idle lands we'll adapted to sheep husbandry,
it is indeed surprising that so little attention
has heretofore been given to sheep raising as a
source of profit. When we calculate the trifing
expense of wintering this stock in our climate,
and indeed, the little trouble they are at any
season, and consider that wool and mutton al
ways command a ready sale and a good price,
it is easy to see that there is considerable mar
gin for profit. We believe that our farmers
would do we'll to turn their attention more to
this stock, than to cattle. Their natural in
crease would pay all costs, and leave profit
over We have every advantage as to climate,
water, &C., that any section of the United
States presents. In short, all that we seem to
lack is a little experimenting on the partof our
leading farmers. Here is field for enterprise,
and chance for reaping fine income on
small outlay. And We trust the time is not far
distant when our hillsides and valleys shall be
musical with the bleating of Southdowns and
Merinos, and our transportation laden with this
important article of trade.-Rurel Messenger.

GAME LAWS FOR SOUTH CARoLINA.-A
club of prominent gentlemen at Charleston, S.
c., has organized for the protection of game,
and to procure the enactment of judicious game
laws for that State. While we rejoice to see
that love of manly sport has not been entire
" crushed out, but still shoulders beneath the
ruins of that down-trodden community, we
fear the efforts of this society are doomed to
disappointment. Where the negroes are the
dominant race, it cannot be expected.
Cuff is born hunter, and when in slavery,
the severest labor in rice or corn field, from
sunrise to dark, would not prevent him from
passing part of the night in the pursuit Of
apossumS and "coon," or, in default of these,
Of his masters or his neighbor's hogs and
poultry. Now that wider field is open to
him, and that a gun is to be found in every
cabin, it is idle to suppose he will obey any
law or submit to any regulation for the protec-
tion of game.
We remember since the termination of the
war, counting, in ride of twenty miles on the
tow.path of the James River and Kenawha
Canal, nine burly blacks with guns in their
hands, hunting for game in fields where the
corn was literally rotting for want of harvest
ing. And this was in Virginia What must
it be in poor South Carolina ?-7urf, Field and
Farm.

Address Of the National Democratic Execu.
tive Committee.

To the People of the United States: The Oc-
tober elections are over. They enable us to
form tolerably accurate idea of the true p0-
litical situation Of the country.
In Georgia, we have to recount a victory for
the Liberal ticket so unexampled as to take
her out of the list of doubtful States, and
practically to pronounce in advance the decis-
ion of at least 125 votes in the electoral COL
lege. To this number, it is only necessary to
add sixty more votes to elect Greeley and
Brown.
In Pennsylvania, the distinguished Chair
man of the Liberal Committee has eloquently
of the election there was accomplished. We
commend his statement to the thoughtful at
tention of the country.
In Ohio, despite most unprecedented gains
for the Liberal Democratic ticket, the Grant
managers have carried the election by redu-5
ced majority, having brought to the polls their
entire reserve vote. Had our Democratic
friends in certain localities of that great COM
monwealth shown the same earnestness and
activity, and enabled US like our enemies to
record our entire strength, they would now be
exulting over brilliant victory. In Indiana,
the Democratic and Liberal forces have achiev-
ed most important success over Pennsylvania
tactics most unscrupulously employed by the
Administration and its allies, showing thus
that free people, when aroused, know their
rights and dare maintain them. Indiana has
fairly demonstrated that she can neither be
"bought nor bullied" The moral of these re-
suits is that victory is still in plain view of our
national ticket, and that energy and courage
will assure it. That victory must be won. If
we mean to preserve free institutions on this
continent, we must assure it.
The event in Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last,
when considered in its causes, is the most APP
pallipg political catastrophe that has ever taken
place in this country. Should the system
through which this catastrophe was brought
about be condoned by the people and foisted
on the other States, it seals the doom of free
dom in America. A sad contrast it is, surely,
that the city in which our republic was born,
amid the anthems Of free people, should now
be the first to toll the knelf of its liberties. 1t
is for the free, unbought people of all the
States to calmly review the fearful crime
against suffrage in Pennsylvania, and to decide
whether it shall be repeated within their own
borders
For the first time the system of free govern
ment and the sanctity of the ballot are really
on trial in the United States. From this hour
forward the preservation of the franchise in
its integrity dwarfs all other issues.
Let our friends in each of the States catch
inspiration from the heroic conduct of our
fellow citizens in Georgia and Indiana and
from now till November let their struggle be
manful and unceasing for liberty and an un-
tainted ballot-box, for reform and an honest
administration of the Government.
AUGUSTUS ScHELL,
Chm'n. National Democratic Committee.

T New WASHING PRoosss.-The injurious
action of soda upon linen, has given rise to
new method of washing, which has been extern
sively adopted in Germany, and has been in
trodlced into Belgium. The operation consists
in dissolving two pounds of soapin about three
gallons of water, as hot as the hand can bear
and adding to this one tablespoonful OF turpen-
tine and three of liquid ammonia; the mixture
must then be we'll stirred, and'the linen steep
ed in it for two or three hours, taking care to
cover up the vessel which contains it as nearly
hermetically as possible; The clothes are .af;
forwards washed out and rinsed in the usual
way. The soap and water may be re-heated
and used second time, but in that case, half "a
tablespoonful and tablespoonful of ammonia
are then to be added. The process is said to
cause great economy of time, labor and fuel.
The linen scarcely suffers at all, as there is little
necessity for rubbing, and its cleanliness and
color are perfect The ammonia and turpen-
tine, although their detersive action is great,
have no injurious effect upon the linen; and
while the former evaporates Immediately, the
smell of the latter is said to disappear entirely
during the drying of the clothes.
