The Southern ballot-box suffers have
been trying their hand at stretching the
census figures. Evidence of this is coming
to Washington every day. One case re-
ported is from the County Of Orangeburg.
South Carolnn. In that county the total
population in 1870 was 16. 500. According
to the census just taken it is II 900. an in
crease of $50 per cent. The fraud is so
transparent that the Charleston News and
Courier is forced to notice it and attempts
to explain it away by alleging that the
census of 1870 was incorrect. That paper
admits that there has been no immigration
worth estimating in Orangeburg county.
and that no population, however prolific
and healthy. could by mere natural in
crease more than double itself in ten years.
There is a disposition among Southern
republicans to complain at what they con-
slider their abandonment by the republi-
can party Of the North. The republican
party has not abandoned them by any
means. If time and money are not ex.
pended in a vigorous campaign in the
South it will be because the republican
managers are Of the opinion that the sur
est way to protect Southern republicans in
their rights is to carry solid North.
With the Northern States solid for the re-
publican ticket. the democratic party will
see that there is no. longer anything to be
gained by bulldozing and fraud in the
South. but rather that the very means en-
ployed to make the South solid will create
and maintain solid North against them.
1t behooves the party managers to put
every effort this year where it will do
the most good"

Do Not Sleep on the eF IOor.

II is unhealthy to sleep on the 6oor.-
The late Canon Kingsley explained the
reason for this in simple way which
will enable plain people to understand
1t. He describes what he calls the two
breaths," and their effects. The two
are, of course, the breath taken in,
which "is, or ought to be pure air, COM
posed on the whole of oxygen and nj
trogen, with minute portion of car
bonic acid" and the breath given out,
which, is an impure air, to which has
been added, among other matters which
will not support life, an excess of car
bonic acid" He then points out that
this carbonic acid gas, when warm, is
lighter than the air and ascends, and
when at the same temperature as COM
mon air is heavier than that air and de-
scends, lying along the floor, "just as 1t
lies often in the bottom of old wells or
brewers watts, as a stratum of poison,
killing occasionally the men who descend
into it," Hence word of admonition
is addressed to those who think nothing
of sleeping on the floor; and hence as
" the poor are too apt in times of distress
to pawn their bedsteads and keep their
BEDS" the friends of the poor are en-
treated never to let that happen, and to
I" keep the bedstead, whatever else may
go, to save the sleeper from carbonic acid
on the floor"

Pigeons on The Farm.

No one can visit poultry show with
out being ut times struck with thegreat
numbers and variety Of pigeons. IL Is
not unusual TO find hundreds OF them
on exhibition, and score OF varieties
THESE have not been favorite birds with
farmers, as they regard them as inclined
to pull up corn and scatter excrement
about the barn.
AS for their reputation for mischief,
they are in this respect like other birds,
charged with the damage done, but not
credited with the good they do. Pigeons
are great scavengers, devourlng multi
tudes of insects, and among Others the
canker worms, which do 80 much dam
age to apple trees. Judging from my
own experience, which has not been
limited, they do four-fold more good
than mischief AS for their dirtying the
premises, this Is the fault of the farmer
Furnish them q convenient dove cote,
and keep tight barns, and the excrement
will be found where 1t can be put TO good
use as a fertilizer.
Squads are becoming favorite dish
with the wealthy people, who are willing
to pay high price for them, and farm
ers should see to it that the market Is
we'll supplied with'such food as is in de-
mand and pays well. 1t is pleasant
feature of the farm house to see doves
flying around 1t. They give animation
to scene which, otherwise, might be n
little lifeless and as they pick up their
own living mainly, and are very pro-
life, good dish for home and for mark
