Do not fail to read the article on first
page relative to the outrages committed
by Southern Democrats, upon poor de-
fenceless colored Republicans, even to
numbering women and children. 1t is
too horrible for belief, were it not that
some of the gashed and suffering victims
were present before the Board, in pres
ence of the Northern committees.

The night after Eliza Pinkston CAV
her testimony, three rufians, one OF
whom she testified against, entered the
house she was staying at, with drawn
revolvers, and would have finished their
murder, had she not fed from the room.
Think of such crimes committed in the
north, and then following it up with more
attempted murder, on poor, cut, shot,
dashed, dying woman. All in the name
Of Tilden and Reform. All the Repub-
lican witnesses before the Board at New
Orleans, have been warned by rife-clubs
not to return home, under penalty OF
death

One of the Northern Democratic visi-
tors invited one of the colored men on the
Louisiana returning board, to visit his
rooms at the hotel, and there offered him
100000 to return the State for Tilden.
The colored man couldn't be bought, and
Indignantly spurned the offer.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 6th.-The Retur
ing Board completed its labors last night
and returned majority of 4317 for the
Hayes electors; 1926 for Packard, (Rep)
Governor; and 1915 for Antoine, Lieut..
Governor. The Board complied stately
with the law, and threw out the bull
dozed parishes, and every precinct that
showed an evidence of fraud and intimi-
dation on either side. Republicans have
a majority in the Legislature and elect
four congressman.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. 6th.-Count
just finished, Hayes majority $50. Re
publicans elect Governor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and both members of Congress.
The South Carolina Board had long
since declared for Hayes electors, hence
the result in Florida and Louisiana gives
Hayes 1876 votes-a majority of one,

ing, little at time; stir well until
it is very slightly blueish. Use q good
brush, go over Que place in the wall
until thoroughly wet; if your brush
dries quickly add more warm water :;
the mixture is too thick; the brush
must keep wet. But if the ceiling is
slightly rough, use the mixture with
out the glue, as the glue will not
work on = rough ceiling. If very
rough and looking as if it would peel
off, go over it simply with ten cents

in two quarts of water. This will

A SCIENTIFIC member of foundry
firm IN Philadelphia has made what
is supposed to be a great discovery
connected with the extraction of pre-
cious metals from their ores. The
rock is first broken to about the size
of turkey eggs, and is put into n
crusher, which, though not larger
than an ordinary piano, is capable of
pulverizing 10 to p tons per day.
The means by which the crushing is
effected ere not stated, but the result
is said to b. satisfactory, and since
only one man is employed it costs
little. After being reduced to = pow
der the ore is put into the toy of o
vertical iron cylinder Is to 20 feet
long, divided into three equal COM
partments connected by Waived aper-
lures. This cylinder is set in brick
work, and when in use is surrounded
by flame. After the ore has been five
minutes in the upper compartment,
II is passed to the next, and there
II is exposed to a stronger heat carry
ing volatilized quicksilver. After be-
ing ten minutes in this chamber it
goes to the lower division, III the top
of which it is subjected to a white
heat, and as it falls to the bottom to
cool it is again impregnated with
quicksilver. After being cooled the
ore thus prepared is amalgamated in
pans III about four hours. 1t Is as
serted that owing to the tightness of
the valves there Is very little loss of
quicksilver The total expense of
reduction works of the kind described,
including the royalty claim, is only
about $4,000. For months past, ores
from Virginia and North Carolina
have been successfully worked in
Philadelphia, and two to three times
more gold has been saved, it is said,
than ever was possible before. The
cost of working a ton of ore is $3.50.
and the owners of the patent guaran-
tee that the yield shall come within
FIVE per cent of the assay value. The
Fryer process is in danger of being
cast into the shade by this new system
of Lightning Amalgamation," as
ii is termed by the discoverer.-TS.

The Danger of Eating Too Much.


Nobody ever repented of eating
too little" was the sage remark of an
old gentleman on the verge of ninety,
next to whom the writer had the
pleasure OF sitting at dinner the other
night. The host was pressing him
to take more and urging him in the
usual phrase, Why, you have eaten
scarcely nothing" Now, it is TO be
assumed that the old gentleman's
words indicated one of the by-ways
to good health, along which he had
travelled through his life, and to
which he owed his present remarkably
hearty condition; 50 it was suggested
to him interrogatively that he had
always been small feeder. Yes, !"
he answered, lever since | was two
or three and twenty up to that time
l was weakly fellow enough, and
l used to make the great mistake in
trying to eat and drink as much as /
could, in the hope of becoming strong.
All my friends and the doctors backed
me Ill my error; but fortunately l
found it out in time and knocked off
AS your modern slang has it-more
than half my usual amount of slim
ulants. l gave up the idea of max
ing myself strong, and merely strOve
to make myself well, and | was con-
tented with eating just as much as l
could digest and no more. Of course
it took little time and experience to
discover the precise limits; l could not
adopt the golden rule of always leav-
ing off with an appetite, because 1
never began with one, but by persis-
tently erring on the right side, L got
hold of one of the great secrets Of
life-the secret of knowing when one
has enough, and after a year or two
l became so much better that | used
to find myself ready to eat II meal at
any time, and by degrees actually
acquired an appetite. Then, once
found, never destroyed it, but always
determinately rose with feeling that
l could eat more Naturally tempta-
ton grew stronger, but was firm, L
did not behave ungratefully to my
stomach and immediately presume
upon its increased powers by overload
ing it. did not live to eat, but only
eat to live; and behold me! 1 have
no need to be very particular as TO
what l eat, even at any time Of life +;
l have only to be careful not to eat
too much Here, indeed, is the great
secret of a great deal that is anIiss
with many of us. We are in the hab-
it of eating to much, more than our
powers can tackle, and
that which is not assimilated more or
less poiSons. The system becomes
overcharged and gives any latent ten
dency 10 disease within us every fscul-
ty for developing itself The question
is not so much what to eat as what
quantity to eat, and nothing but
sharpe lookout kept by ourselves can
give us the answer.
