Do Nor FACE THE LIGHT WhEN AT
WoRK.--Statistics kept by oculists en-
ployed in ihfirmaries for eye diseases have
shown that the habit of some persons in
facing window from which the light
falls directly in the eyes as we'll as on
the work, injure their eyes in the end.
The best way is to work with side light,
or if the work needs strong illumination,
so that it is necessary to have the work.
ing table before the window, the lower
portion of the latter should be covered
with screen, so as to have top light
alone, which does not shine in the eyes
when the head is slightly bent over and
downward toward the work.
In the schools in Germany this matter
has already been attended to and the
rule adopted to have all the seats and
tables so arranged that the pupils never
face the windows, but only have the side
lights from the left and as light sim
ultaneously thrown from two sides give
an interference of shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden to build school-rooms
with windows on both sides, such illumi-
nation having also proved injurious to
the eyes of the pupils. ..,
We may add to this the advice not to
place the lamp in front of you when at
work in the evening, but little on one
side; and never to neglect the use of a
shade, so as to prevent the strong light
shining in the eyes. This is especially
to be considered at the present time,
when kerosene lamps, with their intensely
luminous flames, become more and more
common.-Aedical J0nrlaI.

Birdie BLINDs.-We never could see
what vice or deformity lay in horses
eye that should make IL necessary to
cover it up and shut out its owner from
at least two. thirds of his rightful field of
vision. The poets say that old age looks
backward, but we never heard OF such an
idiosyncrasy charged upon horses. The
theory that d horse il less apt to be
frightened when shut ont from every
thing behind him we suspect to be a fal-
lacy, else saddle-horses and warehouses
would be duly blinded. Every horse is
as familiar with his own carriage as with
his own tail, and as far as his personal"
fortitude is concerned is no more dis
turbed at being pursued by one than
another. AS for other scarecrows that
come behind, they are mostly familiar to
the animal, and the more fully the horse
can perceive them the more quietly does
he submit to their approach. Then it is
such pity to cover up one OF the most
brilliant features Of this most brilliant
creature The horse has borne such a
hand in the civilization of this rough
and-tumble world that it seems not so
much cruelty as a discourtesy, as well
as disgrace to hide his form with en-
barrassing toggery. No wonder we esti-
mate the force in the world as horse
power; no wonder the Romans and Ger
mans, each in their own language, desig-
mated their aristocracy as riders; no
wonder their descendants made chivalry
a synonym for their highest virtues. Let
the horse be given his due, and unblind-

DEAR SENTINEL: AS it has been

may the better know that appear
"once moro"
1t wero to speak OF the many
things that have passed into history,
and 1 may of tho things-.a few-which
have passed into oblivion, you would
say / know it all. But there arc
things you do not know, and few of
those things [ may speak Of
1 sec you speak of a good time in
anticipation-where2 Why at the
"Greenville HOTEL" Of course. Where
else, if you come this way? But you
do not know what g good time you
will have. But / do. 1 have been
there. You will be surprised in only
one thing. You will wonder where
Speights gets his executive-hotolic
abilities, although you know him to
be chock full of powers. Everybody
knows he can run n newspaper, but as
q hasher he beats all. 1t will never
be said again in Greenville, as long as
Speights is here, that we have not got
Hotol in the place. Don't you take my
word for it, keep your promise, come
to Greenvillo and stop at "The Green
ville."
Judge Cookies Court is in session
here, has been for week, and will bo
for couple weeks more. A great
deal of business has been done, and q
great deal more still to do. Our
Judge is on the war path after evil
doers, and if they are not dealt with
summarily, it will be no fault of his.
Right here, I would inform you that
your correspondent is honored with q
position in the Court, and henco has
boen a pretty close observer, and
would say to tho people, settle your
affairs outside our temples of the law,
for you will find according to dcfi-
milton I make to the question of, what
is a lawyer? I would say he is a man
whose business it is half the time to
prevent justice coming to the surface,
and it it should come up, the other
half of his time he is making q mufle
to cover it whilst it is up.
1t anything interesting should oc-
cur l will lot you know. If you
should stay away from our thriving
city short time, you will see our
street railway in full blast, as the
track-laying is going Or.
Business, in most branches of trade
has been dull for long time, but is
better now, and would be glad to hope
it may continue. Our Hampton fully
at the helm, and oil would be we'll
even our mishaps. Be good TO your
self till you hear once more from your
t riend. NIX Come AROUSE.

Ex-Governor Scott is native Of
Ohio, and PLEASANTLY acquainted with
President Hayes. Judge Mackey paid
him visit; as we all know, and es-
tablished agreeable relations with
him. They were we'll qualified to be
on the committee, and as likely as
any other two men in the State to
prosper the suit which they were sent
TO press. Surely our contemporary is
hasty in saying that it is the "unan~
imous sentiment Of the Taxpayers that
it were far better that our cause should
60 unrepresented before the Hayes
administration than that it's advocacy
should be entrusted to two such cham
pions rs Judge Mackey and ex- Gov.
Scott" The taxpnyera, on the con-
trary, desire that tho government
which thoy have chosen shall be
speedily and firmly established. They
confide in the discretion and iudg-
ment of Governor Hampton, and will
lingly remit to his hands the selection
of the agents whom he will entrust
with any duties necessary to effect IL.
The letter borne by fhe committee
from him to President Hayes was
simply to ask the removal of tho
troops from the State House. He did
not ask recognition in any other way.
The committee was expected to repre-
sent all the reform clements, all
shades and colors of it, and to lay all
facts proper to bo known before MIR
Hayes. 1t was Governor Hampton's
intontion to hovo appointed larger
body for this purpose which should
embrace the following colorod men,
VIZ; Messrs. Boston, of Newberry,
Hamilton, of Beaufort, and Clinton,
OF Lancaster, but ho was necessarily
hurried, and unable to carry out his
design in full.
Tho people cordially approve of the
sagacity and fidelity Of Governor
Hampton in the present instance.

vacancy can Be filed bysA man able
and worthy towear tho judicial err
mine. For the present vacancy, there
are already . goodly number OF cam
didates in the field, or rather the names
of gentlemen have been put forth by
their respective friends. Judge Aldrich
has been announced byrhis friends ID
Barnwell County. General Kershaw
has also beon announced by his friends.
The Abbeville Medium nominates Gen.
Samuel McGowan; the Anderson in
telligencor announces Justice Willard
as its choice, and then nominates Col.
A. G. Haskell to succeed him as Asso.
ciato Justice. Chancellor Johnson of
Marion, and Mr.. Pope, of Columbia,
have also been mentioned. These
gentlemen are all abIo and upright
mon, and either of them would grace
and dignity the Supreme bench Of the
State. As TO tho Chief Justiceship,
we are rather inclined to agree with
the Intelligencer. Justice Willard is
acknowledged to be an able, impartial
and fearless Judge, whose decisions
are never biased by partisan or politi>
cal feeling. He had IL il his power,
had he been inclined to decide accor-
ding to political afiliation, and the
example set by some of the Supreme
Judges of tho United States on the el-
ctorai commission, TO have made
Chamberlain Governor, and entaiIed
two moro years of carpet bag misrule
and oppression on the people of tho
State. BY agreeing with Wright in
his second bulldozed opinion, Cham
borlain would have been declared the
Governor of the State and the people
would have had no legal remedy. But
instead Of proving Tecreant to his
trust, he adhered to the constitution
of the State, and nobly vindicatod tho
majesty OF tho law. In return for this
act, and on account of his abilities,
We think the Chiof Justicoship would
only be n proper and fitting compli>
mont to him. AS to an Associate JUS
tico to take his place, should he be
elected to She Chief Justiccship, either
of the gentlemen above mentioned
would fill tho position ably and satis-
fActorially to the people of the State.
