1t is gratifying to note the improvement
that is going on in and around Anderson,
all of which is of substantial character.
Besides the new dwellings that are now be-
ing built, and the old ones that are under
going repairs, several more are to be erected
this fall and winter. These are evidences of
revival in the business of our town, and
of the firm basis on which this business is
established, that carries conviction to the
minds Of those who may have doubted
in the past Anderson's ability to sustain
and promote her growth. We will regain
during the approaching business season the
remainder of our lost patronage.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The election for Intendant aud Wardens
of the town of Anderson came off on last
Monday, and, although it was conducted
under the special feature of our charter,
which allows cumulative voting, the entire
Democratic ticket was elected. The regis
tration of electors stood-whites liza, and
colored 11S; 80 that if the political parties
had divided on the race line, the Democrats
and Republicans could each have elected
two Wardens. The Democrats, however,
put in the field full ticket for Intendant
and four Wardens, and the Republicans
ran no Intendant and three Wardens. A
rallying committee was appointed by the
Democratic party, and by skillful and per-
sstent effort the Republicans were utterly
routed. The vote for the Democratic nom-
inees stood:
FoR IHTENDANT:
G. F. Tolly.................".235 votes.
Foh WAEDENs:
W. s. Ligon.. n...........................2l6 votes

The vote for che Republican candidates
stood:

Moses Cherry y..........".............57 "
Moses Terry rry...........................-
A large number of colored men voted the
Democratic ticket in whole or in part, and
the election shows what the Democratic
party can do by well organized and active
effort, and we hope the success in the town
election will afford stimulus to the De-
mocraey of the County to follow in the
work of overwhelming Radicalism at the
polls. The town Republicans are COM
pletely non plussed at the result, and do not
see how they have been SO badly beaten.
They have as party met their Waterloo,
and cannot again be rallied. They will, we
hope, begin to realize that if they wish to
be on the winning side in politics, they will
have to vote the Democratic ticket for
State, County and Municipal officers. Rad
icalism is dead, and can rise no more while
the Democrats remain united. The new
Council will be sworn in the lattG part Of
this or the first of next week.

Benedict, the Sword SwallOwer.

A servant brings table on the stage.
and upon it places box containing the
various swords to be sw allowed. He then
retires and brings from behind the scenes
musket. Upon its summit is placed
formidable looking bayonet. All being
ready Mr.. Benedict appears with very
bright sword in his hand. Arriving at
the front of the stage, he drives the point
of the sword into the floor, and the force
of the impaction of the sword into the
wood causes it to sway backward and
forward. Mr.. Benedict then goes to his
box and produces sword made of non.
lustrous metal. Holding it in the air,
between his two hands, he opens his
mouth and simply thrusts it down his
throat ih the same manner as cavalry
soldier would replace his sword in the
sheath. This is feat No. 1.
Mr.. Benedict next takes up six or
eight of these swords, and having put
them one behind the other, he opens his
mouth again, and, presto down goes the
lot into what is called by children the
"red lane" These swords being we'll
down into his throat, he then plucks them
out one by one and throws them on to
the stage, where they fall with clash
that indicates to the eommonest observer
that they really are metal. This done,
he rests u minute, and then comes the
musket and bayonet. He lifts up the
musket and holds it with bayonet down
ward above his head, and then slightly
steadying the weapon, he allows the
bayonet to gently glide down his throat.
Just at the moment when it seems doubt
full whether he is not going to swallow
musket and oil, it suddenly stops, and
then the bayonet is hidden all but the
part near where it joins on to the muskst
itself. But this is not enough he leans
forward, and holding the bayonet hOri-
zontally between his teeth, turns round
and round, swinging the musket. He
concludes the performance by a very
marvellous feat. He goes directly 10 the
sword that il still vibrating in the boards
of the stage and pulls it out with jerk.
One cannot imagine what he is going to
do with it, as it appears to the eye that
the sword, from hilt to point, 10 larger
than the mans body. He then proceeds
to the middle of the stage /; back goes his
head, and down his throat goes the sword.
Several eminent medical men, among
whom is Dir. Frank auckland, vouch to
the fact that the sword measures thirty
inches in length and one and half
across. Mr.. Benedict has been swallow
ing swords for fourteen years the stom-
ach is consequently accustomed to their
reception. He is singularly progresses
ing man, and his manners are polished.

Love UnSung.

Guide on, sweet purling stream,
And mingle with the sea;
Adown each glen thy waters CLEAN.
In merry dance and FIR
Sing on, sweet bird; the blue expanse
OF heavens vault is thine;
. lap thy soul into trance;
Pour forth thy song divine;
But must not give forth my strain;
love a maid, but love in vain.
The blithesome bird that haunts the vale
Will bear but half her grief;
She floats her sorrow on the gale,
And gives her soul relief;
The meanest floweret on the field
Basks in the MONDAY sun;
And every creature hath rest.
When daily toll is done;
I 70 myself make bootless moan,
And bear my burden all alone.
Agrief that links two hearts in bliss.
Is but hidden treasure;
What's but thorn when singly borne.
When shared becomes pleasure;
The finer feelings of the soul
Are known by mutual union;
Each spirit hath its counterpart.
With whom to hold communion;
But she is gone, and leaves with me
The rest of the unsleeping sea.

Demolition Of Old London Churches.

Four more London churches are to be
torn down. Last year witnessed the de-
struction Of the fine church of St. Nj
chael's, and of All Hallows, which bore
upon its walls the inscription stating that
Milton had been baptized there. 81.
Dion's Backchurch, remarkable build
ing by Wren, is now in course of destruc-
ton. Those for the removal of which q
commission has now been issued are a.
follows St. Margaret Pattons, Rood
Lane st. George, Botolph Lane St.
Matthew, Friday street, and st. Mildred,
Bread street, all works of Wren, and two
OF them possessing spires of siDgularly
original aud beautiful design. Tue Secre-
tary of the Society for the Protection of
Ancient Buildings argues that it is a
mistake to suppose that by preserving
st. Paul's Cathedral, that architects great
masterpiece, enough will be left to illus
trate his views upon ecclesia, teal archi-
lecture. For, grand as st. Paul's I'M
doubtedly IL, it is only one of class of
buildings common enough on the Cont
nent-imitations of ST. Peters, Rome.
In fact, st. Paul's can scarcely be looked
upon as an English design, but rather as
an English rendering of the great Italian
original, whereas the city churches are
examples of pure English renaissance
architecture as applied to ecclesiastical
purposes, and illustrate Il style peculiar
to London, and when they are destroyed
the phase Of architecture which they ex-
hibit will have ceased to exist, and
nothing will be left to record it.

CORRECTING CHILDREN IN ANGER.

CORRECTING CHILDREN IN ANGER
There is another common error, which
may need to be noticed-that of correct
ing child hastily and harshly, and then,
feeling that injustice has been done, to
compensate him by some soothing sugar
plum or honied apology. 1t is not easy
to conceive of anything more likely to
degrade the parent in the eyes of his Off
spring than such inconsiderate folly
nothing more sure to destroy his influence
over the mind, to harden the young heart
in rebellion, and make it grow bold in
sin. In proportion as the parent sinks in
his esteem, self-conceit grows up in the
mind of the undutiful child. Young
people AS we'll as old pay great respect
to consistency, and, on the contrary, de-
spise those whose conduct is marked with
caprice. The sacred relation of parent
is no protection against this contempt.
Those, therefore, who would preserve
their influence over their children, who
would keep hold Of the reins that they
may guide them in periods of danger,
and save them from probable ruin, must
take care not to exhibit themselves as
governed by passion or within, rather than
fixed principles of justice and duty.
