subject. 1t is our opinion that by
the time the State settles all dam.
ages and closes up its business here,
it will find that its economy was very
iniudicious. There are hundred
ways in which the Legislature could
better economist than in this manner.
When THE PRESENT Governor of
South Carolina was candidate for
election, he was assailed rs man
who had no interest in the peace and
welfare of the State because he was .
carpet Dagger. Even Harper'S Week.
~ questioned his fitness for the place.
But now Governor Chamberlain meets
with praise all around. Hdrper'S
Weekly commends him for his fearless
discharge OF duty and republishes an
extract for the Charleston Ne,cs as
follows:
We SAY once more to Governor Cham
| berlsin that, 20 long as he maintains his
| presant position, so long as he stands on
! the high plane of his inaugural ad-
dress and special message, the honest peO-
pie of all classes will sustain him and
strengthen him, not as Conservatives or as
| Republicans. but as citizens of South Caro-
| lima, having one and the same interests in
the present and future of the State.
II our present Legislature fails to
accomplish some mach needed re.
form, it will not be for want of agi-
tation on that subject. There is
scarcely "a man in either House that
has not some measure Of reform over
which he broods, and in the accom-.
plishment Of which ne expects TO
gain fame and glory. Some of these
measures are practical and wise,
while others are foolish and absurd.
In fact, this subject OF reform .
has been talked of until there
is very little meaning in it
The worst class of politicians
seize upon and go around prsting re
form, and actually make it hobby
upon which they manage to ride into
position, where they can swindle and
prey upon an ever credulous public
1t is not always the case that the most
genuine honesty is found when hon
esty is talked about the loudest. Or
the contrary this much needed trait
in human character is found side
by side with modesty, anC
to be known must be seen rather
than heard of.
But we do not intend to charg,
this upon our reformatory Legisla
, ture, We intend to give them credi
for what they claim TO be, until by
their acts they convince us that they
> are otherwise. We wish them God
! speed in their protested undertakings
/ and will wait patiently to see wha
they do. By the way, their seventy
five days will soon be half gone.

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands
who die annually a large proportion are
destroyed, not by old age, or by the natu-
raj exhaustion of vitality, but through in
temperance, or disregard, either on the
part of the sufferer or his parents, of the
simplest laws of nature. Such being the
case-and figures cannot misrepresent facts
the conclusion is that, were the causes OF
intemperance, its kindred vices and dis
regard of natural laws removed, the aver.
age length of the human lifetime would
be extended proportionately. What agent
most rapidly, ha,mlessly and certainly will
eradicate these vices, or the tendency to
them, is the question, which has been as
thoroughly and persistently agitated ashas
the search for the Philosophers stone.
The discovery has been made by DR.. Jo-
seph Walker, whose widely-known VINE
GAR BITTERs are accomplishing wonders
which the old-iogy doctors never dreamed
of. Try them and judge for yourself as
thousands are doing all over the country.

the fruit is shaken into them. They are
then placed in baskets and dipped in a

minutes, and then dipped in clean water.
This is to remove the gum on the outside

Designs in hosiery amount almost to
a fine art this season. Some in silk are
really beautiful to look at, although the
material is not as agreeable to the foot
as the cottons or Lisle-thread. Among
the prettiest are stockings in two shades
of the same color, the upper half being
in the lighter shade. Others have a

LACE curtains should never be ironed

Have two narrow, slender boards, as
long or longer than your curtains. Tack
str;ps of cloth or wide tape the entire
length of these. Place them out doors

flames, and carefully pin the wet curtain
Notwithstanding it until it is entirely
smooth. Every point, every scallop
should be pulled in shape and fastened
