The American "con6dence wo-
man. is a being whose existence |
abroad is shame and scandal to
her compatriots. Usually Of some
social standing she contriyes by dint
of her acquaintance with some few
I of the respectable members of the
American colony to obtain credit
from dressmakers and hOtel-keep-
ers, and to carry on a successful
warfare against poverty without
the slightest help from that all
potent weapon, money, OF course
there comes to her day Of reck-
oning and retribution, whereupon
she either makes her escape to COM
mence her depredations in some
new field, or else contriyes, by dint
of tears and piteous protestations,
to extract some pecuniary assistance
: from her fellow-citizens who may
chance to be sojourning in tho
same city as herself. 1t is hard for
an American gentleman to see a
woman weeping and suffering with
: out doing something to relieve her,
and so she generally gets comforta-

THE B4BTyS BED.

The baby should never be allowed in
the bed between its parents. Several good
objections must occur to every one;
l need not name but one. 1t must,
when thus placed, constantly inhale the
poisonous emanations from the bodies Of
the two adults. 1t should sleep in a crib
by the side of,its mothers bed. The best
at all seasons of the year, is one Of oat
straw. The straw should be changed,
and the tick washed as often as once in
two weeks. This gives little trouble, and
involves little or no expense, while the
perfect cleanliness and sweetness contri-
butte not little 10 the baby's health.
During the cold season woolen blanket
should be spread over the straw bed TO
increase the warmth. For covering the
little sleeper woolen blankets should be
used, and all the blankets should be fre-
quently washed.
Does he kick up the bed-clothesg Then
fasten them on the side of the crib with
little tapes or little knobs. The little
chap may then kick ever so obstinately,
he can't uncover himself.
The pillows should be Of straw. ] for
got 10 speak of this in connection with
the bed. The proximate if not the origi-
nal cause of large proportion Of deaths
among American babies is some malady
of the brain, when we suppose the death
to result from dysentery or cholera imam
tum. The immed late cause of death is
an effection of the brain superyening
upon the bowel disease. The heads OF
American babies are, for the most part,
little furnaces What mischief must
come from keeping them buried twenty
hours hours Of every twenty-four in
feather pillows 1t makes me shiver TO
think of the number of deaths among
these precious little ones which have
myself seen, where had no donbt that
cool straw pillows would have saved
them.
The hair pillow is inferior to straw, be-
cause it cannot, like straw, be made pcr-
fectlv clean aud fresh by a frequent
change. DO not fail to keep their little
head oil Inc LelCis.

be taken up again. If Mr. Morgan is
entitled TO his character, Mr.. Tilden is
entitled to his If if had been blown
upon, as Blaine's was, that would be an
other affair. Common report and com
mon suspicion, had long been busy with
Mr.. James G.. Blaine when the disclos-
urc came, they merely confirmed, they
didn't startle. The case stands very
differently with Mr.. Tilden. He has not
been under moral surveillance.
We shall continue to note the republi-
can discoveries about him as they are
made; that is our business as a newspa-
per. We don't regard those already
made as furnishing reason why any body
who feels $50 disposed" F." should refrain
from voting for him. There are good and
sufficient reasons, as it seems to us. We
don't doubt that Tilien would try to do
the work that needs doing; but it will
be against more formidable obstacles,
with less help, under more unpropitious
conditions, than Mr.. Hayes. We desire
sise stter,s election, eeoordipglv. But
we intend TO treat Mr.. Tilden fairiy
in this canvass as we do Mr.. Hayes, and
we don't propose to do any hitting under
the belt. If Mr.. Hayes wants any such
dirty work done for him, the organs will,
no doubt, be happy TO oblige. But the
Republican is not that sort of paper.

three less favorable. The plant has
taken on but little fruit since July, and
there is a general complaint of shedding.
The condition of the crop as compared
with last year is as good in the uPlands,
but not as good in the prairie and bottom
lands, some correspondents reporting 1t
fifteen to twenty per cent. worse. Pick
ing has commenced and Will become gen
eral about the tenth of this month (Sep-
tember); all the letters reporting that
the cotton is opening very rapidly.
Worms have appeared in twelve counties,
and have done serious injury in four; in
the other eight their ravages have not
been so great. All report, however, that
no top crop will be made.
CHARLESTON DEPARTMENT.
The following summary of the condi-
tion of the cotton crop in South Caro-
lima, for August, is compiled from eighty
three replies of our correspondents in
twenry-nine counties of the state:
The -Seventeen report the
weather during the month OF August rs
favorable; twenty-four report the first
half wet or showery, afterward hot and
dry; twenty-five report hot and dry;
twenty report changeable.
Comparison with last year of the
weather-Twenty-f -fourreport the weather
more favorable than for the same month
last year; twenty report it as equally
favorable; seventeen report it as less
favorable
Frujting, etc.-Forty-two report the
crop to be well fruited fourteen report
the crop as fair in this respect twenty
three report the crop as not fruited well.
From all sections there are reports Of
the shedding OF the fruit, and in light,
sandy soil it is shedding heavily.
Condition compared with last year
The crop in the upper portion Of the
state is good, and much better than last
year. In the eastern and southern sec
tions it is very much injured by rust and
drouth, and its condition is about the
Same as last year.
Picking-IIas not commenced in the
upper counties; in the middle counties
it has just begun, and in the lower coun-
ties, where rust Is doing much injury, it
is general. In the upper part of the
state it will become general between
the fifteenth and twenty-ffth, and in
the middle counties by the tenth of Sep
tember
Worms-None are reported.
In conclusion, we would remark that /
the crop is from ten to fifteen days later
than last year, but the prevailing hot /
weather and rust (Which is reported in
fifteen counties) are forcing it open rap /
idly, and, to a large extent, before tbs
bolls are fully matured.

SWfLLOEING FOOD IN GREAT HASTE
IND IHPERFEC M1STICATTON.

Let it be remembered that the best
cookery of the best viands in the world
is comparatively thrown away, in its
health-given and nourishing qualities, if
the food be swallo we'd hastily and in
humps.
There are some supremely virtuous
beings who adopt scornful disregard of
what and how they eat and drink, and,
pretending to be above such mundane
considerations, bring themselves to a
chronic state of i'll health, which it
takes years of strict regimen to recover
FROM. No; you must linger over the
taste of your food as you linger over the
smell Of a flower. Nature demands of
you this concession to health, and there
can be nothing more sinful in indulging
the sense of taste than the sense of smell.
Having swallowed your dinner in Jumps,
the usual custom is to endeavor to coun-
teract the discomfort produced by wash
ing it down, and rendering it soluble b
huge draughts of fluid. This is merely
adding insult to the injury you have
done your stomach, and is resented ac-
c,rdingly. Copious draughts are Just as
injurious as large quickly deyoured
mouthsful, and drink should be taken
as cautiously and slowly as food.-- Tin
sley's Ndgdzia.
