DR.. Smith the distinguished scien-
tist and chairman of the sanitary
committee of the City of New York,
in his report on diptheria, makes the
following interesting remarks:
"Seasons-Diptheria is not affect
ed by either heat or cold, drought or
rain. Aad, I may add, 1T has all
seasons for its own
"iS0cial Relati0ns-All classes are
liable to diptheria when it is prevail
ing, but those suffer most severely who
live on low wet ground; in houses
with imperfect drains or surrounded
by offensive matters, as prlyies, decay
ing. animal or vegetable refuse; in
damp rooms, as cellars; in over-crowded
and i'll ventilated apartments:
"Precautions-The dwelling or
Observation-Disclosures in and around
the dwelling, and pure air in living
and sleeping rooms are Of the utmost
importance whenever any contagious
or Infectious disease is prevailing, as
cleanliness tends both to prevent and
mitigate it. Every kind and source
of filth around and in the house should
be thoroughly removed; cellars and
foul areas should be cleaned and dis
infected; drains should be put in per-
feet repair, dirty wells and ceilings
should be washed, and every oc-
cupied room should be thoroughly
ventilated. Apartments which have
been occupied by persons sick with
diptheria should be cleansed with dis
infectants, ceilings lime-washed and
woodwork painted; the carpets, bed
clothes, upholstered furniture, &C.,
exposed many days to fresh air and
the sunlight. All articles which may
be boiled or subjected to high degrees
of heat should thus be disinfccted.
Such rooms should be exposed to cur
rents Of fresh air for at least one week
before reoccupatiou. No other infec-
tious ,nalady more imperatively de-
mands the best resources of medical
and sanitary knowledge to limit its
prevalence and save life. Sanitary
precautions have supreme Importance
in this disease"
Its specific cause is not satisfactorily
ascertained or determined. The time,
I hope, is not far distant when dip
liberia will cease to be the opprobrla
medicorum of the profession.

Recent Arctic Explorations.

The Pandora, small screw steamer
which left England for the arctic re-
gious in search Of relics of the ill-fated
Franklin expedition, recently returned
to Portsmouth after brief but event
full voyage of three months duration.
Following Sir John Franklin's track,
the vessel, after leaving UpernaVik,
steamed to the westward and penetra-
ted further in that direction than any
other ship has yet succeeded in doing.
A yacht, abandoned by Sir james
Ross, was found beached and in fair
condition; and the storehouse built
by the same explorer, together with
the graves Of some of Franklin's men,
were visited. The Pandora brings
back the news that the Alert and Dis
covery, of the British expedition, are
now in Smiths Sound, and that there
are indications that that body of Wa
ter is comparatively free FROM ice.
The ease with which the Pandora,
small as she is, accomplished so long
journey-cne which Franklin, with
his sailing ships, occupied two years
in performiug-in the. brief period
above mentioned, augurs we'll for the
success of Capt. Mares. The .&eacy
of steam is fully shown ; and as the
Polaris hardly merited the designation
of steamer, the Pandora is really the
first to prove what even moderately
powerful engines will do toward break
ing through the ice foes. With the
channel as open as is reported, and
driven on by their strong machinery,
it is not impossible to believe that the
Alert and Discovery have already at
tained the borders of the open polar
sea.-Scientyic american.

The Outlook.

The Richmond Wing philosophers
cheerily as follows:
"The political outlook is far from
being as fair and as bright as it has
been, but if we had been triumphant
this fall as we we're last fall it might
have led to indiscretions to defeat us
next fall. And, take it all in all, we
do not know but it is best we should
be beaten now to achieve victory
then"
The Charleston Neaos and Courier
says:
There are bright spots in the
gloomy picture of Tuesdays elections.
The Conservatives, working in har-
mony with the colored people, have
elected their entire ticket in Missls-
sippi, and the anti-Tammany Demo
Gratis. in cooperation with the Repub-
licans, have routed the insoleut and
corrupt Tammany Hall clique in New
York City. These are gains worth
conntino'

Hats and BOnnetS.

The ladies will be glad to learn that
after long weeks of alterations and
consultations the bonnet question is
happily settled, and doubts and hesi-
tation are at an end. Three different
shapes will be the most sought. and
so economical is fashion that last years
felt shapes are easily remodeled and
retriumed at very little cost. The
picturesque and artistic Rembrandt is
revived in felt, and the soft broad fur
brim has an upward turn at the left
side. The trimming is scarf Of soft
silk, ostrich plumes, an antique orna.
ment of 6liglee or chased silver, and
low at the back a cluster of shaded
crimson roses. This hat should be
black. The Montagnard hats have
stately high crowns, nearly covered
with fluffy feather ruches and noddirg
ostrich tips, forming an elegant and
striking appearance. The familiar
round-topped Derby is also revived ;
Notwithstanding its extreme simplicity
it is not iuharmouious in its aspect.
There are beside toques of old-time
popularity rather more Aaring than
before, and the dressy, handsome wide
brim felt of cream color, and fawn,
and white shades, worn set back on
the head, and thereby forming an
aureole with it's brim. The facing is
of light creamy silk, shirred, and be-
meath is roll of velvet with a fiat
bow above the forehead in this may
be placed a rose, cluster of white
pinks, carnations or geronium leaves
at pleasure. The modified bonnets
arc as graceful as they are admirable
for good taste. The brim is of the
Aariug halo shape, but the crown is
smaller and the sides resemble the
long-forgotten modest cottage bonnet,
in fitting the head so closely. Ribbon
strings arc attached to the backs, and
women who hoped to protect their
ears this winter will find their hopes
useless. The ribbon-strings are sim
ply to be crossed behind and carelessly
brought forward for ornamental dis
play. Black lace is also used in the
same manner.-Correspondent.

Cotton.

Under this popular caption cores
poudent in the Greenville Daily Ne1cs
gives some timely and sensible advice
to the cotton planters of the country ::
and first that it is hard to sell cotton
at liz or even 123 cents, but there is
no telling when the price will be
higher, and as futures are low and
cannot be depended upon, it will not
pay to hold until spring or summer,
for accidents may happen. When sold,
the farmer either has the money or
has paid his debts with it, and his
mind is at rest. The merchant, black
smith. mechanic, doctor, who have
sold to you, worked for you and waited
on you, want their money, and if all
these claims are paid, the year can be
commenced clear Of debt. By being
thus punctual, your credit is establish
ed, and if help is needed you will more
readily get It. All this considered,
it is best to sell as soon as ready, and
settle up. Every word Of this is true
and another fact equally so, is that
the neglect to raise breadstufs and
grasses has tended to lower the price
of cotton, and it will continue to de-
cline with the increase in planting.
There can be no better time than right
now for our farmers to deliberate on
this subject, turn it over and over,
weigh it we'll, count all the cost, and
resolve not to follow the suicidal policy
Of the past. The prospect now is bad
enough, but it will be worse next year
if the same old course is pursued.
Think of it, farmers, and determine
like sensible men to pay attention to
those other interests Of the farm, many
of them so small as to he despised,
and get out of the troubles which now
environ you and injures all classes of
industry.

Mr.. EDITOR AT the State Fair
last week we met our esteemed friend,
VIM. NJ. Lawton, Esq, to whom we
are indebted for a list Of the cargo of
the Steamship Bolivia, which sailed

The list is furnished for your readers,

those immense vessels.
Mr.. Lawton is the type Of a true
South Carolina gentleman, and we
regret to lose his valuable aid and
counsel in the general development Of
the resources of his native State, We
trust, however, that his position as the

means of furnishing information and

desire it. Address is No. s Union

The State Fair.

The Fair just closed is not consid-
cred as successful as in former years,
the attendance being rather limited,
The exhibition, however, is said to
have been good, and in some respects
much better than the average. A
reference to the premium list shows
that Abbeville had a larger represeu-
tation than any other county outside
of Richland. It is to be regretted
that a more general interest was not
taken on this occasion, but there is
sufficient excuse in the stringent times,
our people not having the means at
command to make respectable ap-
pearance. BY the time the next meet
ing takes place We trust that the situa-
tiou may be more favorable.
We are pleased to notice in the pre-
MUM list, the names of VIM. Summer,
of, Pomaria, who was awarded four pre-
lniuus and from this county, NJ. NJ.
Buford, three prizes, and three honor
able mentions for horses and colts; J.
Cromer, one prize; J. H. Willingham,
one prize; Wm. Smith, one prize and
favorable mention ". \. Fallow,
favorable mention; Smith & Cromer,
favorable mention; and H. 7. Peake,
two prizes on grade COWS and calves.
\ private letter received since the
above was put in type from visitor
to and well-wisher Of the Fair, says
that the exhibition of stock, with the
exception of horses, was better than
during the past two years. The at
tendance, though, whether from lack
Of Interest or want of money, was
small, and only eleven gentlemen from
Newberry were noticed by this CORES
pondent as present. Wednesday, usual
ly the big day, netted only sS3 at the
gate, instead Of 81. 200 to 81 600 as on
former occasions. On Thursday the
receipts were 5000. The Columbia
chat is that the Fair has reached its
lowest ebb, and that the next meeting
will be Il grand success. But to secure
this desirable end every man who feels
an interest in it should exert himself
strcnu9usly. We trust the anticipa-

I'm Memoriam.--A. Nj. Wicker.
Pure, guilecsS, simplc-hearted man!
Farewell, know It's well with you;
The path you walked, the race you ran
Were always forward, straight and true.
Almost the last words that you spoke,
While we stood near, hearts touched with
ave.
While light divine around you broke:
Love is fulfilling the law"
Love, blessed word, the one sweet word,
That hides multitude Of sins;
The best by man or angel heard,
The only charm that always wins.
All, brother, you have found that rest,
That still remains for those,
Who, with weary weight oppressed,
Seek from their griefs divine repose.
You sought and found. and all is we'll,
Bright, beaming splendors round youshine;
Heaven never hears earth's funeral knell,
And death is lost in life divine.
Why should I bid my friend goodbye?
In a short while III 60 to him.
How sweet on rapid wings to fly
From this lone world so dark and dim.
He's gone before, I'll follow soon;-
How soon it's not for me to know,
1t may be ere another moon
Shall in its changes come and go.
1t may be many, many years.
God knows, and what he knows is best;
But may His hand, through hopes and fears
Safe guide nae to the land Of rest.
