DEPRESSED NITALITY.-Pure air is rs
absolute a necessity TO human beings
as good food and untainted water.
Bad air kills, however, by inches only
while innutritious food and foul water
60 their evil work with quick precis-
ion-both, in the end, leading to the
same resultS-impaired vitality, dis
ease, and high rate of mortality.
Nature undoubtedly has great power
OF adaptation; but, under a prolong-
ed state OF untayorable sanitary con.
ditions, that capacity is harshly ex-
ercised. Every abnormal condition
of physical existence, arising from bad
air, insufficient food, OF undue expos
ure, and producing no immediate
results, neceSsitates the drawing Of
sanitary bills on futurity to be paid
with heavy interest; aud the very
poor, from necessity, and the rich,
from ignorance and apathy, spend
shortened lives Of prodigal thought
lessness, ending in vital bankruptcy.
Hence the crowded inhabitants of the
back slums of large towns live, un-
consciously, their life of lowered health
under conditions which would kill off
the fox hunting squire in 4 month.
This depressed level of vitality and
deferred penalty furnish one expla-
nation of the general indifference to
pure air.

The ORIGINAL CONFEDERATE FLAG.
At a recent meeting of the Palmet-
to Guard were made the recipients Of
the first Confederate flag raised in the
late struggle, and as this banner was
identified with the career of the COM
pany, it is doubly priced as a relic of
the past. The donor, Mr.. John 5.
Bird, of Laurens, an old member OF
the company, in a letter accompany
ing the flag thus tersely gives It's his,
tory "In 1860, before the passage OF
the ordinance Of the secession by this
State, Captain Edward Mills, of the
bark Joes, belonging to the Palmetto
Line of New York packets, raised
this flag at his masthead in New York
Harbor, and his vessel was mobbed
but they could not compel him tf
strike his colOrs. On his return 9
gold-headed palmetto cane was pre-
sented TO him by some of the Palmetto
Guard, and in turn he transferred tC
them the custody of the flag. Tht
secession of the State was quickly fol
lowed by aggressive military move
ments, and the flag accompanied tht
Palmetto Guard in their various en-
campments. At the siege of Sumpter
it marked their parade ground, ant
was used in the truce boat that me-
the United States barges. The Pal
metto Guard occupied the fort imme
diately after the surrender of Ander
son, and this flag wss the first raised
on It's walls after the salute and beior,
f. J. Moses, Jr., had arrived at III,
fort. The flag remained with tn
company until they were mustered fo
the war, and was then taken by Mr.
Bird to his home, and has since re
mained in his charge.-CharleStO
