eluded to use this sum for tho redemption of
the mattresses Of the poor, pawned at the
Mont de Piete. 1t was found that more than
$4,000 francs had been advanced by the diff
ferent bureaux upon this article alone, and
one can readily understand that working
man must be very hardly pressed by poverty
when he consents to pawn his bed.

In q Nutshell.

IN speech delivered few days sgo
at one Of the Kershaw Tax Unions.
Gen. Kershaw stated that the question
OF the Civil Rights bill had nothing to
do with our present political necessity
that it was as an honest Republican
We wanted Judge Green, and 1ot as q
member OF onr political party; It was
his "policy" in the special question OF
State reform, and not his politics we
we're after; that without the Civil
Rights bill, he was no Republican in
South Carolina, and nnless he was q
Republican in good standing with his
party. he was useless to ns. That to
tell about "a clear ticket" was simply
to register defeat in advance. II we
played at all, it was our duty to play
to win, preserving our own political
honor through it all.

HEALTHY DWELLING HoCsEs.-In O
recent noteworthy and very. elaborate
paper on the proper mode Of building
houses so as to insure health. read by
DR.. Hayward, before the Liverpool
Architectural Society, be enumeIates
various conditions essential to that
purpose, the more important of which
are a due exposure 10 fresh Dir aud
sunlight, positive freedom from damp,
large cubic space for air, and abund-
ant means for the escape of foul and
the admission of fresh air. Dr.. Hay
ward argues that it is essential that the
air should be warmed previous to ad-
mission. and that ventilation il the
great and main necessity of house
bu'idiDe; that Thstvver be left un-
done, this should be especially at
tended to. Iu regard to the tenpcra-
ture OF the admitted AR, ie says that
bedrooms sre often very Improperly

winter the sick occupant has to bu in

doorway and the fireplace, from 2S to
81 degrees temperature. while that Of
Lis body IS nearly 100. To these bed
rooms, says DR.. Hayward, very many
cases Of consumption. bronchitis and
ssthma may be traced; furthermore. in
fever cases, much fresh air is required,
and sometimes endeavor is male to OBJ
tain it even by opening the doors and
windows, so that many typhus fever
patients die OF pneumonia, and many
rheumatic fever cases, also. are pro.
longed and complicated. Drafts are

in neuralgia, rheumatism, colds,

these results. DR.. Hayward urges the
Importance OF q thorough reform in ar

HE FRENCH SITCATIoN.-There result
Of the elections in Frauoe, for the
Councils General, on the 4th of Octo.
ber, indicate that 800 Conservatives
and 500 Republicans were chosen, a
Conservative gain OF twenty. In 100
places there was no choice, and se-
cond ballot will be required. There
seems to be no special reason for dis
couragement to the Republicans,
though the Bonaparlists have exhi-
bited unusual activity during the re-
cent elections, and seem to have been
allowed to work the old electoral ma
chinesy Of the empire without any hin.
drance. Recuscitated Imperialism is
what the French republic has most TO
dread. the devotion TO tie family OF
the Corsican adventnrer amounting in
some OF the ignoran! localities Of
France to religion. At the came
time, fortunately, perhaps, for tie
country, there seems TO be an irrepa.a.
bic breach between the two branches
OF the house Of Boaapaste, as repre-
scented by the Prince Napoleon and The
Prince Imperial. AT Aiaccio, the
home OF the FIRST Napoleon, IA is
sue was made between the two, and
the Prince Napolean was defeated, AID
Bonapsrte, more loyal to the Prince
lmperinl. elected. In view Of this III.
vision among the Bonapartists, and
the large Republican Vote that has
been cast. it is thought that if Mac.
Mabon would place himself a. the head
Of the Republican movement. lie
might fovnl permanent conserva-
tive republic. There is no reason,
however, to expect that MacMahon
will be the Washington of France.
Perhaps be may be satisfied that
France needs C;e gar N ore than q
Washington.

LIE QCAARRS AMONG THE INDIANS =
The Society of Friends (Qaakers) Of
Indiana held their annual meeting ut
Richmond, in that State, on Tuesday.
A committee on Inlian aff4irs reporte Il
the condition Of their work among the
aborigines on the border. The COM
mittee had visited many OF the Indian
agencies, and derived knowledge con-
tanned iu their report from personal
observation. The great obstacles to
Indian civilization seem to be: First,
the prejudice Of race. which has been
greatly intensified by the general
treatment received by them from white
men. Second, their strong adhesion
to the traditions and customs Of their
forefathers. which they regard as of q
sacred character. Third, with some OF
the tribes rowing habits prevent u
regular application Of the Influences
OF civilization. Fourth, non-enforco-
mert OF the law permitting the intro
duction Of wbiskey, stealing of their
stock and the destruction Of gnme
upon their reservations. Fifth, su
perstition or unealighteneG religious
ness"
The committee further State that or.
gan;zad bands Of horse thieves have
done nn extensive business in ra;dipg
upon The stock Of the Indians. Hunt
ers, in open disregard of law and OF the
promises Of tho Government to the In.
dians, hayo slaughtered thousands
upon thousands Of bnnAloes upon the
reservations. Whiskey pedlers have
piled tnoir wretohed vocation, and the
combined influence of these classes OF
trespasses has at last provoked the Iu.
d!ans to retaliation, so that cousidera-
bic numbers Of them have determined
TO drive from their reservations NIL
white persons not lawfully resident
iaereon. They rightly consider it the
d1iy Q! the agents, as officers Of the
Government, to protect their riahts,
aid Justly compiain because this pro-
Ie :tion M N is not afforded. They urge q
ssIoi .:,1 III among Indian traders to begin
".h' and the due enforcement of law
among the white men Of the border
they think will help the process.

L. is not u generally known fact that
nearly 200 people in New York city
rise at daybreak for the purpose Of re-
pairing to tue slaughter houses and
drinking the warn blood of animals.
These people are not vampires, but
coasumptivee. who ind in the blood
the means Of prolonging existence.
One lady, who has followed the prac-
t:ce Of drinking warm blood for seve-
rai years, contends tLat it has pro
lcnged her life fifteen years. and has
become az absolute luxury. At ,:rst
tho taste is said to he rcpulsive, but,
subsequently,, the desire for the en-
sauguin,d fluid becomes if.ensc, and
its good effects make ii commcndaale
to invaiils. The Irish pcasau.ry are
very fond OF baked blood. which is
placed in large shallow pans and baked
until it is Drowned. It is notorious
that consumption is disease almost
naknown among these people, and,
perhaps, Felpeau and other famous
physicians who have recommended
the drinking Of blood, have taken the
hint from the baked blood of the Irish
peasants.

a Mistake Made on Purpose.

The Onion. Herald, in its report Of
the proceedings of the Conservative
Convention. gives the preamble and
the 6rst and second resolutions
reported by the committee and
adopted unanimously by the Conven.
sion correctly. In place OF the third,
which was in the following language:
"ReSoloeu. That We adopt as the plat.
form Of the Conservative party of
South Carolina honesty and economy
in the administration Of the State 60
gernment,' it substitutes this: "Rs-
solred, That we adopt the platform Of
the Republican party of South Caro-
lima" It is impossible to conceive of
any other way by which SO gross q
misrepresentation Of the action of the
Convention could have been made,
than by design. The accuracy shown
in one portion Of the resolutions, con-
,lusively demonstrates the misohievous
purpose aimed at by the false report OF
the other and for this reason, tho
resolutions must have been copied, and
no copy contained the resolution which
ls paraded in the Union. Herald. Sacn
words were neither written nor spoken
that day by any member of the Con.
vention. 1t is plain, then, that they
were invented, out and out, and with
design deliberately placed where they
could not possibly have been placed by
any honest mistake.

There is O paragraph goira the

who many years ago wanted to reform

Hs told gentleman. an acquaintance,

success that attended his reformation.

cause he had wife and several chill

that he was away from home q great
deal, and that his work was night
work. His children were growing up,
aud be never wanted them to know.
The gentleman thought there was
honesty in his purpose. and loaned the
thief several hundred dollars with
which to start business. He prosncred,
raised his family respectfully, became
an honest citizen, and did many acts
OF nnostentatious charity. Ea dice.

Heretofore. the order Of succession
to the throne OF Turkey has followed
q peculiar law of Inheritance. The
crown goes by seniority. not to the
Oldest child of the reigning Sultan, but
to the Oldest male descendant of the
House of Otham, the founder of the
Empire, sprung from the imperial
haren. An uncle or cousin OF greater
age than the Oldest son of the Sultan
would, by this order Of succession,
ascend the throne. The present Sui
tan. Abdul Aziz, is on example Of this
irregularity. His predecessor and
brother, Abdul-Medlid, lett fourteen
children. the Oldest being sou twenty
one years of age, who. instead OF sue.
ceeding his father, was compelled to
give way tu the elevation Of lis uncle.
While this sort of law OF succession
was good thing for Ab,lul-Aziz, as
heir to the Sultanship, be views it IL q
different light at this day, when hr is
in power. a despatch from Vienna
announces that he is taking steps to
break this order OF inheritance by ar
ranging for the succession OF his sou,
regardless Of the rightfut claimau,.
What was sauce for him is not sauce
for Yussif Izzedin Eifcndi, his Oldest
boy, born in 1857. The heir presunp-
tive, under the eimmemorial rule, is tie
Sultan's nephew, Mohamme, Murad
EHendi, born in lS40.
