A SCOTCH FAsrER.-A Scottish lady hap
pened to be conversing with Courier Jour.
nal reporter the other day when the. sub.
ject of DR.. Tanners fast came up. She did
not think the Tanner experiment wonderful.
Then She went on to tell of a case of fasting
in Scotland. The River'Clyde one day broke
through its bed and the water rushed into the
mines below. A number Of miners were
drowned, the suddenness of the flood cutting
off all escape. One miner got into an old
shaft that had been abandoned, and here he
found himself safe from the water. A worse
fate however now stared him in the face. 1t
was impossible for him to climb out, nor
could he make himself heard. There seemed
no possible means Of communication with the
world above. At the end of sixty days some
slow-going person of an inquiring turn took
it into his head to examine the old shaft as
he felt little curiosity to know whether the
waters of the Clyde had found their way
there. Tying piece of lead to rope, this
investigating person let it down into the shaft,
and he thought after he had lowered it that
he could hear human voice, but the tones
came family and he might have misheard.
After while he hauled up the lead and was
surprised to find piece of clothing attached
to it. The poor wretch below was still alive
and had managed to make that sign. AS
sistance was Immediately called, men were
lowered into the shaft and the starving man
was brought to the surface nearly dead. He
had been all the time without food, but had
been within the reach of water and tenacious
ly clung to the hope that be would be rescued.

MAKE Room FOR OTHERs.-The more a
man sees of the world, and the more he min
giles with others, the smaller space he is in.
clined to claim for himself among his fellows.
He sees that, in the pushing struggle of life,
other peoples rights must be considered, and
he must not take more ground than just
enough to stand on. This is very marked in
all crowds, and in all public places and con-
veyances. The man or woman who is best
versed in society makes smallest demands and
occupies least space. The persons who take
more room than belongs to them arethese who
have been least in company, least accustomed
to adapt themselves to the needs of those
about them. If you want to be thought
well.bred, travelled, cosmopolitan, keep in
your elbows in crowd, and sit close in a
street car. If you want to be thought boor.
ish aid uncultivated, and to be recognized
as one who was never much in good compa-
ny, push both sides of you, as we'll as in front
and rear, in a crowd, and spread yourself
out in car, or in public hall. 1t is by
such indications as these that we see that
the demands of Christian regard for the
rights and feelings of others secure the best
results of good breeding.

MAJORITY vs.. PLURALITY.

Mr.. EDITOR: Having no personal inter
est involved, but prompted by a desire fo
the welfare Of my country, request space
in your paper for an article in advocacy O.
the majority system of primary election
The question, whether the pluralities, or tht
majority rule of making nominations by pri
mary election, shall be adopted is, in the
opinion of the writer, one of more grave i'm
portance than any other that will be present
ed to the coming convention for settlement
as the final determination there involves
possibly, not only the welfare Of the Demo
cratic party, but also that of the State itself
1t will not be denied that the plurality sys
tenn is the most expedient, in so far that il
affords cheaper facilities for the selection Of
candidates. But the grand important ques'
ton for consideration, is whether or not the
advantage of expediency attached to the plu
rality system, counterbalances the evils that
may arise from the adoption Of such system
The prevalent objection that has heretofore
been urged against the Convention system Of
making nominations is, that system does not
secure just expression of the sentiment OF
the people, Now, contend, that the plural
ity system is just as likely to fail to secure
an expression of this sentiment as the Con-
vention system, provided there are a suffi'
cient number of opposing candidates. And
there is no doubt, this last provision will be
fulfilled to the letter,
As an illustration, suppose there are five
candidates for an Office in which there can
be but one incumbent-say the Clerks or
Sheriff sand that the whole number of votes
cast should amount to 2,500. Now suppose
No. l of the aforesaid candidates to receive 500
votes, and the others each to receive less than
500, say 400; can it be contended that No. l
has the sentiment of the majority in his favor
By no means. Either of the candidates
who have received only 400 votes might, if
piittedi against MIN stngiy, receive the whole
of the two thousand votes that No. l failed
to get on the first election.
Increase the number of candidates to ten,
and see by what an insignificant minority a
candidate might be nominated.
But say some, "the plurality plan is the
one that prevails in the general election"
and therefore why not in the primary" The
answer is simple. Because one is a gov
ernmental measure and under the circum.
stances is the only possible expedient; the
other party measure, introduced to meet
the objection that is urged against Conven
tions, to obtain an expression of the sentiment
Of the people, to prevent dissatisfaction and
to preserve unity in the ranks Of the party.
Before closing, your correspondent would
say that he feels it his duty as citizen to
freely conform to which ever system may be
adopted, and to devote his energies in max
ing the best Of the situation possible.

THE II. 9. ARMY IN 1S45.

In 1845 the U. S. Army consisted of eight
regiments of infantry, five of artillery and
two of dragons, by which name the cavalry
was designated. Theses, with small general
staff and an engineers corps, composed all
the United States Army. Winfield Scott
was Major General in command of the army,
General George B. Mcclellan was second
lieutenant in the Third Infantry, so obscure
that bis name was printed "Geo. G. McClel-
LAM" In the same regiment Don Carlos
Buell. was also second lieutenant. The
Fourth Infantry contained two second lieu
tenants who made their names memorable in
the civil war, on opposite sides-General
Longstreet and Ulysses S. Grant. Long
street had then been in the service two years,
while Grant had Quilted West Point but
year previous, and was attached to the army
as supernumerary, with the pay and rank
of second lieutenant" William T. Sherman,
present General of the Army, was first lieu.
tenant in the Third Artillery, as was Gen. 0.
G. Ord. Robert E. Lee was captain of
Engineers, as was George W. Cullom, while
under them in the same corps were General
PIG. 7. Beauregard-who has since drop
PED the r III Ills udlue-~0ouoial III ~.
Meigs, General W. S. Rosecrans and General
H. W. Hallech, the last two being ranked
as second lieutenants only. In the topograph-
ical corps were first lieutenants Joseph +.
Johnston and John A. Macomb, who fought
afterward OIL opposite sides. General c: G.
Augur was 8 lieutenant in the second infan-
try, in which Simon B. Buckner and Gen. r.
S. Canby, who was assassinated by the Modocs
several years ago, were second lieutenants.
Genral Abe Buford of Kentucky, the we'll.
known turfman Of to-day, was then second
lieutenant OF the First Ora yoons, of which
regiment VIM. J. Hardee, of "Hardees
Tactics" and one Of the hardest fighters OF
the Confederacy, was Captain. Gen. John
Sedgwich was first lieutenant Of the Second
Artillery. The Sixth Infantry roster, however,
contains more of interest than any other. Of
that regiment the Colonel was Zachary Tay-
lor who now sleeps quietly in the land of his
birth, after having been gallantly amid all
the glories and rigors Of the war with Mexico
and occupied the Presidential chair. In that
regiment Frederick T. Dent, brotherin.law
of Grant, was a second lieutenant. The last
of the list Of second lieutenants was Winfield
S. Hancock, who had just graduated from
West Point with Grant.

A W1FE's PowER.-A good wife is to man
wisdom, strength and courage; bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair. No con.
dition is hopeless to a man where the wife
possesses frmness, decision and economy
There is no outward propriety which can
coanteract Incidence, extravaganza, and folly
at home. No spirit can long endure bad in,
fuence. Man is strong, but his heart is not
adamant. He needs a tranquil mind, and es,
pecially if he is an intelligent man, with a
whole head, he needs its moral force in the
conflict of life. To recover his composure
home must be place Of peace and comfort
There his spirit renews its strength and goes
forth with renewed vigor to encounter the la.
bors and troubles of life. But if at home he
finds no rest, and there is met with bad tenn.
per, jealousy and gloom, assailed with com
plants and censure, hope vanishes and he
sinks into despair.

SLEEP FOR CHILDREN-There is no dam
ger that children can sleep too much. The
old proverb, "Who sleeps, eats, is illustra-
ted in those little ones who sleep most.
Wakeful children are almost always peevish,
irritable and lean. If they can be induced
to sleep abuudantly, they are quite likely to
become good natured and plump. Their
sleep should be as much during the hours of
darkness as possible, and therefore, it is better
that they should go to bed before sunset to
have their sleep out, than to lie long after
sunrise in the morning 1t is we'll to let any
healthful, growing child, or young person
sleep until he wakes himself, and then give
him such variety and amount of outdoor ex'
ercise as shall make him glad wnen bed time
returns.
