 AGED PEoPLE.-At the church lecture on. Thursday, sixteen of the seventy-fve present. were over seventy years of age, and four over eighty The remarks of the pastor, based on the 14th chapter of John, must have been very comforting to them.

Looking at the social pyramid, we find it cut perpendicularly from apex to base by the line of sex i; the right, or male half, having been granted the suffrage, inmost States of the Un- ion; while the left, or female half of our citi zenship, still remains disfranchised. Heretofore extensions of the suffrage have been downward ln the social scale. At first only the males of the upper social class, or property holders, were allowed the ballot. Then the property qualification was repealed, and we had univer- sal male suffrage in it's place.
 Universal male suffrage was found to work badly from the fact that it gave certain pro- portion of citizens the ballot who had too little intelligence to use it to any good purpose. Es- pecially has this been found to be the case in our cities, where there are great accumulatiens of foreign ignorance and in the South, where, to adopt the forcible language of pr. Phelps, "we put the most delicate blossom of ciVliza- tion into the hands of herd of ignorance and brutishness." So plainly is the qualification of intelligence needed for the use of the ballot, that some few states have adopted constitution al amendments requiring that at least the voter shall be able to read. The difficulty is that ignorance, once enfranchised, cannot be dis franchised. No conservatism has yet been found bold enough to seriously propose taking the suffrage away from any man who has it. Even those who profess to consider the fran chise mere privilege treat it, in this respect, as right. But why may not the reform which cannot be effected by restriction be attained by exten- sion Suppose that the property qualification line is extended across the entire pyramid, and all the women above it are allowed the ballot? Plainly we should have conservative and not | a radical measure The number of property. holding voters would be doubled at stroke there being no increase of that ignorant, non- property holding class which conservatism so greatly threads. Suppose, what would seem to us more just, that an educational restriction of the suffrage was adopted, and then woman admitted to the ballot. Such an extension of the suffrage would save South Carolina at once from all danger of being again overpow- cred by her ignorant majority.
 But even if all women were admitted to the franchise, we believe that the effect of such an extension would be in the interest of conserva- tism. Three quarters of the church.members throughout the country are disfranchised wo- men and the utter divorce of religion from politics is a necessary consequence. Woman is the natural enemy of Rum and we must look to her vote to overthrow the immense po- htical power now wielded by Rum. More ever, woman is the natural enemy of all that is immoral, and indecent and our politics recks with indecency and immortality, waiting for reform that will never be reached till her right to the franchise is acknowledged h. deed, the conscientious dread that many, per haps most women feel of assuming the respon. sibilty of the ballot, is oneof many indications

LIVER IS KINa.-The Lyer is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it con- trols the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in it's proper action. all kinds of ailments arc the natural result. The digestion of food the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous

War the only School of War.

No nation learns how to make war in times of peace Elaborate preparation, careful drill, excellent arms, and good soldiers, all fail tc accomplish what is expected of them by a peaceful generation. Something over century ago. Frederick the Great commanded the finest army and ruled the most military nation in Europe. France was nowhere, in comparison. A little over forty years later, after France had been trained by dozen years of hard fighting, the new, Napoleonic, and the old, Prussian military systems, came into collision in the memorable campaign of 1806 In six weeks Prussia lay prestrate at the feet of the con- uueror. The stiff tactics and the superannuat- ed generals of the old Seven Years War, were no match for the fiery soldiers and the brilliant generals bred up in the recent wars of the French Revolution.
 The Crimean War began between armies that had been elaberately trained in everything but the actual school of war. After forty years of peace, three great powers were again at war. The blunders recorded by Kinglake show how much those nations had declined in the practical art of war.
 The early years of our war of the Rebellion were years of training. The Union armies were at least two years In becoming effective military machines. The army oft Potomac which invaded the Peninsula under Mcclellan was a mere mob as compared with the army which forced the surrender of Lee in '65.
 The behavior of Russia in the recent war shows the prime necessity of actual campaign ing to teach the art of war. Plainly it was the great weakness of the Turk rather than the great strength of the Russian, which turn- ed victory to the side of the latter. Still more recently comes the experiencence of Austria in Bosnia Regular soldiers in greatly superi- or numbers have suffered defeats at the hands of undisciplined bodies of insurgents.
 In fact, fighting is a great art which can never be thoroughly learned otherwise than in the actual school of war. The soldier who is ever so thoroughly drilled in times of peace, has vast deal to learn in going into real ser vice. Still truer is this of the general. The art of maneuvering troops effectively in battle is one that cannot be learned from books or from the marching and counter marching of troops meeting no impeachment of hostile re- sistance Injudicious strategy and injudicious field operations ruin most of the calculations of the general who has learned his art in time of peace.

There is no abatement of yellow fever on the lower Mississippi. Up to Tuesday there had been 2,O6s deaths from this plague in New Orleans, Memphis, Vicksburg, Grenada and Port Gibson, alone. On Monday there were 90 deaths from fever in New Orleans and 5S in Memphis.
