The greatest proof of the Divine is that 1t

man to show this. Those who have strug-
gled nearest to the centre of truth and life in
Christ, are those who win have most sympa-
thy with men striving amid waves of doubt
to plant their feet on some spiritual certainty ;
aud they who have risen highest in purity Of
heart, will be most ready to stretch out their
hand to help . sinner to retrieval. The rea-
son is plain. It is these men who are ac-
quainted with the misery Of the conflict aud
the blessedness of the calm. We know of no
greater enemy to Christianity than hard or
thodoxy destitute of the insight Of charity,
and a cold, self-satisfed morality which seeks
its own comfort in being saved, and gathers
up its skirts from the touch of what it calls
the sinful world. What that world wants at
all times, and in our time more than ever, Is
sympathy and it wonld DO good thing for
Christian men to look less to the Pharisee as
their model, and more TO Christ.

Il Is true that many chronic diseases all the
world over arises from eating zoo much. But
It ID possible on the other hand. to eat too little
aud we doubt whether many could maintain
q healthy existence on the meagre diet OF
snch medical philosophers as the celebrated
Cornaro. How long one could contrive tn
live without eating anything ct all, 10 ques-
ton Of which few will be inclined TO under
take the practical solution. Unfortunately,
Ii has beef, solved over and over again In the
case of many an accident and many deed OF
cruelty, without something to eat or drink,
man will not live beyond few days or at
most a week. Access to water, however,
makes d great difference. There Is we'll
known case Of an Ayrshire miner who lived
twenty three days, buried in coal mine,
without swallowing anything but small guam
titles of chalybeate water sucked through
straw. He had the advantage Of being shut
up Ia contaminated atmosphere, which By
diminishing nervous sensibility. lessened the
cravings Of hunger. Even more remarkable
examples OF prolonged abstinence might be
given. Persons, indeed have been found in
coal-pits and mines, and other situations
where there was not mouthful of food, but
where water WAS to be had as long as six
weeks aftertheir seclusion, still alive, though
of course, in very feeble state and small
allowance Of food has supported life longer
even than that, as in some cases Of shipwreck
and other accidents at sea. Berard quotes
the example Of convict who died Of starva-
ton after sixty-three days, but in this case
water was taken. Cases of alleged fasting
longer than this are certainly in most cases
due to imposture. The insane appear to bear
fasting better than those IN their sober senses
and In some morbid conditions of the body
nourishment may certainly be done without
for surprising length of time. Animals have
an advantage over man, SO far as living with
out Is concerned. Rattlesnakes exist many
months without eating anything, and retain
all their vigor and fierceness and many crea-
lures voluntarily spend four, five, or six
months in every year without eating or
drinking. The tortoise, bear, dormouse, and
other animals retire at their seasons to their
respective cells and hide themselves--some

ers, First, Alphonso Art, of Cleveland,
candidate for Congress, aspirant for any

city on the sly. Of course he had private

Republican party up by the tail.
Then General Lee, of Toledo, as gallant

other ex-Lieutenant-G Governor, dropped
into Cincinnati. He came on business,of

OF course he came on private business.

Then General Kiefer, member of Con-

COLUMBIA, S. c., May S. Here
tofore the Republicans have had all FIVE
Congressman from this State, but the
party is being so thoroughly stamped out
that | doubt if they carry a single district
at the next election. 1t will be Georgia
over again, from which State every Con-
gresham is a Democrat without refe-
renee to the colored majority in any dis
trict. 1t only shows the uselessness Of
trying to make party out of the black
population, unless the Federal army is
continually at its back to supply the need
full backbone.
A few years ago the whites, aided by
some ofthe more thoughtful Republicans
tried to get the black Legislature to re-
district the State so as to give the Demo-
Gratis one Congressman out Of the tlve.
1t passed the Senate, but was killed in
the black Lower House. The whites
were very angry at this, claiming that, as
they owned all the property and paid all
the taxes, they should have at least one
Congressman. / heard man say at
the time, On them, the time will
come when they will be sorry for this, "
and it is supposed to have arrived. The
whites are so incensed by memory Of
past injuries that think they will sweep
over the State at the next election, and
leave the Republicans nothing at all, or
certainly not more than twenty per cent,
of the Legislature, They could elect a
unanimously Democratic Legislature, but
they will likely allow the Republicans to
expire by the tapering off process.
1t will be foolish for the Republicans
to put out ticket or try to carry any
thing. The developments Of Republican
rascality during their thievish reign, par
ticularly under Moses, is making the very
name so odious that do not see now
how a ticket can be run outside of
Charleston and Beaufort counties with
any prospect of success.
1t is given up here by both sides that
South Carolina will go overwhelmingly
Democratic at the next election. AS for
a new party, there is no use of talking
about it here or looking for it, as there
is and will be none for years. The
whites are solid for the Democracy, and
the blacks will be made to go in the same
direction or retire from political duties
and privileges. In after years the whites
may split up among themselves, but they
will not as long as there is fragment or
fragment of "a fragment Of the Repub-
lican party left in the State. Anything
that looks like Republican party will
unite the whites solidly against it.
