1.-TWO citizens" only for "town of over 10000
inhabitants" and the deputies must be "qual-
flied voters of such town or voting precinct"
No lawyer can read the act of February,
1871, and that of June, 1872, without coming
to the conclusion that no deputy can act at an
election except the general deputies" and the
Especial deputies" appointed under these acts.
The conclusion is Irresistible that the marshals
cannot appoint special deputies for another
purpose, or under other acts, and employ them
at an election precinct. He may employ his
general deputies" anywhere, and special dep
uties only in Charleston. He cannot evade
the law by appointing special deputies and
calling them general deputies. He has al
ready his general deputies, and their names
are of record in the United States courts for
South Carolina, and are removable by the
Judge of the District Court or by the Circuit
Court, at the pleasure of either.
And besides, is it not plain from the words
of the acts have cited, that the machinery of
special deputy marshals is not to be used ex-
cept in towns of over 10000 inhabitantsa
Again, as the law provides no pay for such
service outside of such towns, these deputies
would have to serve not only at their own risk
but ,uithout pay.
The reason why we object to the exercise of
this illegal power by Nh. Wallace, is that he
is Radical partisan, has father who is
candidate for Congress, and he has declared
that all his appointees will be Radicals.
Under such system as this, our election
would be one like those which Louis Napoleon
used to have held in France.
Hence, should Mr.. Wallace attempt the il
legal appointment contemplated, unless some
law exists which I cannot find (and include
acts to date be will involve both himself and
his deputies in a position of legal difficulty
from which Mr.. Taft will not be able to extri-
cate him and them. JAMES II. Ron.

Gov. T1LDEN's HoME-One Of the most
elegant private residences in New York, is
that occupied by Gov. Tilden. 1t is neither
uptown nor downtown. 1t is on the east
side of the city, and except in its immediate
neighborhood, the location is not fashionable.
What is known as Gramercy Park, where the
Governor lives, was formerly very fashiona-
BILE. But trade and foreigners have come in
like food and have turned the elegant man.
sions into stores, boarding-houses, restaurants
and tenement fats. But between Third ave-
nue. and Fourth, there is little oasis. The
park is one of the best kept in the city. The
tall iron fence is radiant with gilt and shines
in the sun as if covered with gold. Around
this square costly dwellings remain and
wealthy and fashionable families lives. Near
" opposite Tilden's house is the james Har-
per mansion. The Harper brothers must al
most run against the Governor as they 60 to
and fro; and, considering the political car
toons in the Weekly, suoh an interview must
be slightly embarrassing. The Governors
house is of brown stone, four stories with base.
meut, with huge oriel window, and every
thing about it in the finest taste. An old
fashioned silver door-plate bears the inscrip'
ton rs. J. T1LDEN." The lot runs through
from Twentieth to Nineteenth. The lot is
kept in exquisite taste after the English or
der. The rear is guarded by an open iron
fence, 80 that all in the neighborhood can en-.
joy the grounds. Huge trees, more than half
a century old, throw a refreshing shade over
the lawn. The grass is close shaved and roll
ed, and the lawn is dotted with beds of flow
ers. The walks are carefully rolled; the
windows are guarded by attractive awnings; |;
fountains play in the grounds; and there is
not private residence in New York as at
tractive and elegant as this home Of the Dem.
ocratic nominee. There are no children to
muss up things, and the whole outlook is in
apple pie order. Personally, the Governor is
very popular and is neighbor worth having.

The WAY IT 1s.-High or low, all have
their tribulation. Fishes are hooked, worms
are trodden on, birds are fred at. Worry is
everywhere. Poor mems wives worry because
the bread won't rise, or the stove won't draw,
or the clothes-line breaks, or the milk burns,
or the pane of glass is mended with put
ty, or they can't afford to hire help. Rich
mems wives worry because the preserve dish
is not of the latest pattern, or because some
body finds out how party dress is trimmed
before the party happens, or because some
grandee's wife overlooks them, or because
their help "sarses" 'em, breaks tea sets, spoils
dinners, get drunk, and cuts up sheets into
underclothing. Causes vary, but vorry aver
ages about the same. The scale Of miles is
different on different maps, bat places remain
just so far apart, and go do humanity and
content Mrs. Diaa. j, g: q:

GooD EYEs1GHr. There are many causes
which tend to impair the healthy vigor and
radiant beauty of the eye. Among these
causes are the following: insufficient sleep.
severe study, writing and reading by gas
light, reading in bed, painting the eye:lids,
ill.health. We see the fires of alcohol in the
eyes as we'll as on the nose of the drunkard.
All kinds of excesses are sure to be reflected
in that delicate and sensitive organ, the eye.
No person can violate the physical laws and
escape the penalty. Nature is arbitrary in
her legislation, and makes no exceptions in
the measure of her punishments. If the king
gets drunk, he will have redness of eyes, not
withstanding the royal blood in his veins. If
the beggar Keeps good hours, and obeys the
physical laws, she will have clear and hand
some eyes, brighter than the diamonds fash
ing in the queens coronet. It physiolog-
ical fact that plain food, abundant rest, and q
cheerful temper, are the principal aids in the
staff of health, and that good health insures
good eyesight.

A HARD CoUNTRY.-A very learned and
worthy missionary, known as Father +, y
who is more afraid of the devil than of this
wicked world, attempted to cross wide, un'
settled prairie, and was compelled to "camp
out" over night. In the morning be took the
wrong course and travelled twenty miles due
north, while he wished to 60 east. Some one
asked how it happened, as it was clear day,
and asked him. if he could not see the sun.
"Why, yes" replied Father T., "I saw
the sun. but couldn't bring myself to believe,
in this lying country, that way was east.

BREAKING THE CH1LD's WILL.-No art is
so useful in the management Of young chill.
dren Cnor is any art SO neglected) IS that of
avoiding direct collision. The grand blunder
which almost all parents and nursemaids COM
NIT is, that when child takes whin against
doing what he is wanted to do-will not eat
his bread and butter, will not go out, will not
come to bis lessons, ETC., they, SO to speak, lay
hold of his hind, leg and drag him to his du-
ties; whereas person Of tact will almost al
ways distract the child's attention from its
own obstinacy, and in a few moments lead it
gently round to submission. | know that
many persons would think it wrong not to
break down the child's self.will by main force,
to come to battle with him and show him that
he is the weaker vessel; but my conviction is
that such struggles only tend to make his self
will more robust. If you can skillfully con.
trive to lay the dispute for few minutes, and
hitch bis thoughts off the excitement of the
contest, ten to one he will then give in quite
cheerfully and this is far better for him than
tears and punishment. '' -.
