DR.. Tanner spent very quiet day to-
day, and saw very few visitors His
physicians say he is improving as well
as could be expected after such 4 long
fast. During the early part of the
morning he chewed half pound Of
beefsteak, only retaining the juice, and
part of some milk-toast and wine.
Shortly before noon he ate half u
pound of beefsteak and some pota-
toes which had been stewed in
milk. He was then weighed and
turned the scales at 1876 pounds. About
every hour he partook of some nourish-
ing food or drink, which included wa
termolon, milk, potatoes stewed in
milk, ale, beef tea, bread and wine.
About six o'clock his weight was again
taken, and was found to be 1870 pounds.
He was quite lively to-day, and frsked
about his room like sohoolboy. His
physicians say his rapid recovery from
the effects of his long fast is something
remarkable.

How the Prince Imperial Met His

BRIGADIER GENERAL SIR EVELYN
WooD, who accompanied the ex-Em-
press Eugene to Zululand, has Just sent
the papers a description of the death of
the Prince Imperial, collected from the
independent narratives of eighteen of
the Zulus who participated in the attack
on the Princes party, and showing that
the attacking party numbered forty,
twelve of whom followed the Prince and
eight being Immediately concerned in
his death. The Zulus, having nearly
surrounded the Prince and his party,
I fired and rushed on them as they were
amounting. The Prince, not having sue
ceeded in mounting, ran alongside the
,hOrse till 1t broke away. The Prince
Followed the horse into the donga until,
being closely pressed by his pursuers,

1.-THE Zulus, "like a lion at bay.n Being
struck by an assegai in the side and left

in on him until he sank exhausted On
his hips. The above facts were ielieited
from the Zulus who were examined

FoREwARNED, FoREARMED. = The
Democrats of South Carolina are foolish
if they expect to carry the State this fall
without severe struggle. 1t would be
easy to dispose of the State and local
contests, but for the impending national
struggle which promises to be the most
momentous for years. Either New York
and Indiana, or New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, with the Solid South,
will elect the Democratic President
These Northern States are doubtful and
the result cannot be foretold. But the
South must be solldly Democratic to en-
sure Democratic success. The Republi-
cans, in addition to the fight in the
North, will choose one or more of the
Southern States as a battlefield; and in
their opinion, South Carolina offers the
most promising chance of success. BE.
fore many months the Radical hydra will
begin to thrust up its heads. Corbin and
other Radicals will map out plan OF
campaign, and county organizations will
be effected. Electoral and State tickets
will be nominated and local contests will
be made wherever there may be shadow
of chance. Radical speakers may be
brought down from the North to canvass
the State aud rally the faithful to the
support of "de publican ticket" Such
is the opinion expressed by Democrats
high in the national councils.
All depends upon the Democracy
They won in 1876, despite the whole
force of the State and Federal Govern
ments. They were united then as man.
No one fought for Office, all fought for
the State. United again this year, they
will sweep the Republicans rs chaff
before them. But should they rest su-
pinely on former laurels, or should
they fall out by the wayside, over petty
offices, ruin, at least so far as the electoral
ticket is concerned, will overtake them.
Yet the national election is more far
reaching in its Importance than the State
fight. For, since usurpation of the Re-
publican party, the fight for home rule
and constitutional government has been
transferred to Washington, and that will
be the battlefield as long as Radicalism
throws its black shadow across the con-
stitution. Let the Democrats of South
Carolina be early ready for the fray.
Let them seek the best men as standard
bearers, and press right on from the
beginning to the end of the campaign.
So that the Radicals may at least learn
that South Carolina is true to the tradi-
tions of her fathers and to the constitu-
tional principles of the Democratic party.

A Letter From Liberia.

The Rev. II. N. Bouey, formerly we'll
known in this State as a Radical politi-
clan, who went out to Liberia some
months ago as a missionary, has written
the following letter to friend, which is
re-published in the Union Times:
MoNRovIA, LIBERIA, Oct. q, 1879.
Rev. John Wallace:
My DEAR BROTHER am not well,
though I am getting aboutagain. !took
sick in twelve days after l landed, be-
cause went to my work Immediately
and was exposed too much and too soon.
Any people who have any industry about
them can make living here and not
work half of the day. All of this coun-
try's troubles grow out of the fact that
her soil is too rich. 1t produces too
much vegetation, which must fall and
decay. This excess of vegetation also
gives us too much oxygen gas in the air
which we breathe, and this combined
with the deleterious air which rises from
the decayed vegetation, gives US, as you
can see, q very foul air to breathe. Not
being used to it, and sit will not change,
we have to change to it, and while we
are changing we are weak and the chills
and fevers Jump right on us at this point.
Persons who have bilious temperaments,
weak heads or diseased kidneys, will find
it to their interest not to come here, un-
less they are able to secure the very best
attention in their fever sickness. =! see
no African fever here. There is nothing
here but the same old malarial fever that
is all over the world; only it is worse
here, because the soil is so much richer
and produces so much more vegetation
spontaneously. The fever attacks the
head and spine and weakens the whole
system. Now, if you send persons here,
who have sound heads, stout and healthy
systems, they will not 60 to bed for all
the fever that is here.
The OK is here in abundance; hogs,
sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, geese and
the horse will thrive here, if attended to-.
You can see q fruit tree with sweet ripe
fruit on it, grown green fruit, young
green fruit and blooms, all ut the same
time on the same tree; so you can have
fruit all the while.
The greatest impediment to the civil.
zation of these heathens is the traffic of
whisky among them, and this is done all
along the coast by English merchants.
But, were you here to see what has been
done and think of the short fifty years in
which it has been done, in the midst OF
SO many disadvantages, your heart would
rejoice in you at the prospects these
things indicate. :,
The Baptists here are stronger than all
the other denominations put together.

and has been for four weeks, in the Prov

Personal Peculiarities.

About forty years ago had lad in my
employ who had the habit, when unex-
pectedly spoken to, of pricking up his ears
in so decisive manner as to remind one
of the ears of Press or Tray when sudden
ly called. Marie Louise, the second wife
of the great Napoleon, was in the habit
of amusing the ladies of her Court at
their private soirees by turning her ears
almost completely round, and in a man.
ner closing them up. She did this by
a peculiar motion of the jaw, and she is
said to have prided herself on the exploit
not little.
A man knew we'll wore an enormous
shock ofraven hair, and would allow HIM
self to be lifted by the hair from the
ground by anyone who was strong enough
to do it, and to be swung to aud fro like a
pendulum, or to be dragged along the
floor.
The faculty of sleeping at will was one
of the endowments of the first Napoleon,
who it is said, could sleep any length of
time, long or short, and awake at the
time, almost to a minute, he had resolved
upon.
Among the muscular movements not
common, have noticed several instances
of persons who could throw back the
four fingers of either hand until they
stood quite perpendicular to the back of
the hand and wrist. Other instances
have seen, though but few, of persons
who can project the lower joint of the
thumb almost into the hollow of the palm.
In neither of these cases is the use or the
ordinary symmetry of the hand at all
affected. Ofleft handed people we have
all seen many, and they abound among
the working classes; but of the artibandist,
or both handed, that is, of persons who
could do everything with either hand as
we'll with one as the other, l have known
but one in the whole course of my life.
This was an orphan boy who had no pa
rental care, but had been left almost to
himself from infancy. Quick, active,
and sharp-witted, he had taught himself
many things tolerably we'll, could draw
fairly, could play the fiddle and the flute,
and wrote admirably and with unrivalled
rapidity with either hand.
There are many persons who, from
causes they can never explain, have re-
pugnance, almost amounting to horror
in some cases, for certain animals. The
French Gen. Junot, who was as cool as
cucumber amidst storm of bullets,
and would face the cannon's mouth un-
moved, would take to his heels at the
sight of live frog, and would not recover
his equanimity for hours.
have known a man who could not
touch mutton, however cooked, while he
would eat heartily of any other meat.
Some there are in whom the thought of
eating hare or rabbit excites loathing;
some who would starve rather than eat
shel-fsh of any kind; and there are not
few to whom butter and cheese are
denominations. Others are equally pre-
JUDGED against certain vegetables, but
why or wherefore they can never tell
you.-Letsure Hour.
