The Election in Fairf1 old,

The agony and suspense, usually
attendant upon popular elections,
is past at last, and we are settled
down to the matter of cold calcula
ton as to the results. In Winms-
boro more quiet election was never
witnessed than the one held on
Tuesday, which is creditable alike
to both political parties. Long be-
fore the hour had arrived for open
ing the polls, large number of
white voters were present at the
polling. place, but the colored voters
were soon on hand, and the voting
proceeded briskly until after mid
day. Both parties had full working
and rallying committees on the
ground, and voters encountered no
difficulty in obtaining ballots. Very
few votes were cast after three
o'clock in the afternoon. AS soon
as the town clock struck six the
polls were closed, and tho managers
proceeded to the count, and were
engaged thereat about eight hours
The following is the result at this

The Tramp Nuisance.

The grasshopper plague in the far
west has not been much worse than
the tramp nuisance promises to be
throughout the country. They prowl
about the country singly, in pairs,
quartettes and scores, too lazy to
work but most cheeky as. beggars
and adapts at theiving. The rural
districts are literally overrun by these
worthless scamps. Mr.. G. c. Streams,
near Ely, informs us that one hun
dred and sixty, by actual count
passed his house Saturday last, ant
and that the calls for something tt
eat average fifty per day. This il
certainly an alarming state of affairs
and demands prompt and decided
action-such action as might bs
found in a good double-barrelle
shot gun or the business end OF bul
dog.-Cedn Rapids 7enes.

Amons DIR. Carriers conclusion

Amons DR.. Gerrier's conclusions,
that respecting the heart is not the
least curious. This organ is somtimes
said to be in congtant activity,
unlike the other organs. But DR..
Gerrier says that this activity is not
constant, but rhythmical, "a term of
action being followed by a pause or
rest during which the heart is to all
intents and purposes asleep. Sum.
up the pauses and beating Of the
heart on this theory, he maintains
tnat the heart sleeps eight hours out
Of the twenty-four--the period which
he regards IS the most healthy dura-
tion for the repose of the whole
body.

Cremation Of Two Bodies.

DRESDEN, June w. When
VIC arrived among the earliest, the
interior was glowing at white heat;
the stream Of gas had been shut off,
the steel bars along the floor were
painful to look upon. When an
audience Of about one hundred and
twenty spectators, all evidently OF
the most intelligent and respectable
class, and embracing in their number
over a dozen ladies', had assembled,
one of the Messrs. S!emens made a
short address explanatory of the pro-
cess we were about to witness; and
then the two corpses were brought
forward, scwcd in linen sacks, and
resting on long, narrow boards. The
iron door Of the furnace was swung
open and these boards instantly
thrust into the glowing interior, and
as rapidly withdrawn, leaving the
two sacks containing the bodies rest
ing on the white hot furnace bars.
The door was instantly closed and its
edges rapidly stamped" with wet
clay, but before it closed we saw the
wrapping shriveled up into nothing
ness, and dancing, lambent flames
play over the naked bodies. The
process Of burning lasted precisely an
hour and seventeen minutes by the
watch and we had ample opportunity
to note the process of combustion
within, through our "oeiI du beW"
left in the iron furnace door for that
purpose. To the play of the flames
over the corpses, succeeded two dark
masses like burned roast beef, the
outlines of the figures being distinct
ly visible, then two masses of brown
lsh Goals through which the white
ribs and skulls showed grimly, while
the masses seemed to palpitate in the
throbbing heat; then two heaps Of
red ashes, which slowly turned to
white. Then the tamping was
knocked out from around an iron
door at the bottom of the furnaces, a
wooden shovel like that used by ba-
