German Houses.

NOBODY can draw you 3 plan of
dwelling more nicely to q scale than
German, and yet German houses lack
some of the most obvious requisites to
domestic comfort. How, for example,
the good housewives have got on during
these past centuries without closet Ia

is most inexplicable mystery. Go into
almost any German dwelling of the
middle classes, and you would think that
the family had just moved in, or were
just moving out, such is the quantity of
wardrobes and bureaus in the front hall.
But when you come to inquire you find
that things have been thus for score of
years, the lack Of closets crowding such
furniture into every vacant place. 1t
seems, likewise, q rather singular arrange.
ment OF q residence to put the kitchen
next to the front door, so that all your
visitors have to pass it on the way to the
parlor. But such is almost universally
the case with German houses. Truth to
tell, the architect is yet to be born in this
country who will teach the people how
to build with view to living after
comfortable fashion. Then comes the
matter of ventilation. Probably no peo-
pie understand the theory of this better
than the Germans, but they all act as if
they had made special arrangement
with divine Providence whereby they
could thrive on carbonic acid gas. In
all places Of public assembly fresh air

will bring him to repentance if he is not

The Dangers OF Democratic Ascendency.

There is abundant cause for anxiety in
the political outlook; anxiety, not for
place, or power, or the perquisites Of
office, but for the real welfare and good
being of the country. The next House
will contain u majority Of members who
are not only opposed TO the Republican
party as at present constituted, but who
have been opposed to it and its measures
for the past twelve years. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose that they will do
what lies in their power to remedy any
legislation of the past which they be
lieve to have been unwise and pernicious,
as well as to defeat any legislation of a
similar character in the future
What has the Republican parry done
to which the men who are about succeed
ing to power in the House object. Let
US enumerate, beginning with the con-
stitutional amendments.
The thirteenth article abolished slavery
and was ratified by Republican Legisla-
lures, every State having Democratic
Assemblies voting against it,
The fourteenth article declared that all
persons born or naturalized in this coun-
try were citizens, and that no State
should make laws abrdging their rights;
it also based the apportionment OF Keep
resentatives to the States on the voting
population, and abolished the odious and
unjust three-fifths rule which had pre-
viously obtained. An important part of
this amendment is contained in the fol
lowing words
SEC. 4. The validity of the public debt OF the
United States authorized By law, including debts
incurred for payment of pensions and eounties
for services in suppressing instruction or REBEL
ion, shall not be questioned. But neither the
United States nor any State shall assume or pay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid OF insur-
rection or rebellion against the United states, or
any claim for the loss or emancipation OF any
slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims
shall be held Illegal and void.
The fifteenth article prohibits the de-
NAL Of the right Of suffrage ION account
Of race, color or previous condition OF
servitude."
In connection with the point we are
considering, it is well to remember that
every Democratic Legislature, North ss
well as South, voted to reject these

A Man for Whom the Sun Shines.

Everyone in Brussels must have seen
man literally clothed in white from tip
to toe, for not only are his garments of
that color, but also his hat and boots.
During the late severe frost there was
great curiosity manifested to see il he
would persevere in wearing the same
costume, and he stood out manfully UNI
til Thursday, when he appeared with an
enormous cloak and hood in addition to
the dress he has so long worn, but was
still true to his chosen color, and odd
enough he looked parading the streets
among persons in black or other dingy
coats. He is said to be a Dutchman who
some years ago made fortune in Ba-
tavia, but was afflicted with sun-stroke
The doctors recommended his return to
Europe, and following their advice he
fixed his abode in Brussels, where he has
now resided for some years. His eccen-
tricities are hsrmless, and mainly consist
in the firm belief that he has personal
and intimate Acquaintance with the sun,
who never fails TO honor him by shining
when he takes his promenade. Tis
apartments, even including the ceiling
and the floor, are gilt, and he fully be
lieves that this was the work of his kind
friend, who had also endued him with the
power of stopping railway train at full
speed.--C0urt Circular.

I1;MPER-lNCE PICNIC

TEMPERANCE PICNIC
SIhc sons and daughters of Temper

ing, flirting and riding OH The waters
Of the Edisto, the time passed rapidly
and agrceably away with all. The
weather was plensa.lt until after din

all home in hurry.
Ifall the people who attended this
picnic arc opposed to the traffic in
spirituous liquors in this town and wc
suppose they are, (for this was Ten
pcrauce pic-nic) they can stop it, by
clccting u strict t-cold water Council at
the next election. They are strong
enough 10 carry any election in the
town. We advocate justice to all men.
We cant see why it is that parties in
Incorporated places have any more
right to sell liquor than those who do
not happen to live in them. Stores III

mate business are prohibited from re-
failing liquors, while in the town Of
Orapgcburg, there can be har room
on every corner.
There are merchants in Orangcburg
who sell liquor, who would lose great
deal of their custom if they were to
stop it. We know they are willing
and anxious to stop the business if they
can be protected in some way that
will prevent any one from selling it
only for medical or domestic purpo.
scs.
If the Town Council would pass an
ordinance placing retail liquor license

every bar-room in the place. Let all
our sons and daughters petition the
Town Council to this purpose, and see
what will be the result.
