"A French chemist has extracted a

Nitrate of soda, which has of late
years become largely used as a manure,
is obtained chiefly from Chill and Peru,
where il exists | n a crust of a white crys-

fertilizer, the nitrogen being present as
nitric acid i'm combination with soda.
-"Cheiloangioscopy" is the rather
perpleXing name given to a new process,
recently discovered, by which the circu-
lation of blood in man can be actually
observed. By means of a simple ar
rangement invented by DIR. G. Huter, of
Griefswald, the actual flow of the blood
i'm the b~lOOd-vesscls may be seen with
sufficient accuracy TO detect any abnor-
NAL action.
"A new method of lighting flour

air is supplied from the outside of the
building through pipes. by this means
no flOur-dust or any products of the

is no danger while lighting.
The use of photography in wood
~engravings promises to be a great inn
prOvemcnt. Instead of drawing direct
ly upon the wood the artist now makes
his finished picture upon paper, which
is then photographed upon the wood.
The engraver then proceeds to cut the
photograph, and, during the time of
cutting, has the advantage of having the
original drawing before him, to which
he may refer.

A Word 10 Husbands.

LAS anybody ever written upon the
responsibility which rests upon a
husband with regard to the cduca-
ton of his wife? OF course we know
what you will say about her being
supposed TO have FINISHED lie: cduca-
ton before marriage, and ALI that !;
and we all know she begins an edu.
cation with him as new as if she had
never seen al alphabet. His views,
feelings and ideas are they nothing to
her if she loves him? Years after, when
they who her knew as q girl come
to talk with her as nlalron, do they
not find her husband reflected in eve-
rp sentence, either for good or evil?
Or course the more strongly a wo-
man laves the more completely is her
identity absorbed in that Of her hus-
band. This is point that is too
much neglected by married men. A
good husband is almost certain to
have good wife and if she be not
as good rs he colld wish, at the COM
mencement Of their married life he
could educate her up to the proper
mark. And, on the other hand, lie
can educate her down so rs TO render
his house pnrgatory, and perhaps
bring ON himself and family the
greatest agony and kecnest disgrace
which a husband and children can
feel.

Bad Legislation.

Under this heading the Columbia
lcOman says:
"By late act Of the Legislature
witnesses in State cases only get fifty
cents q day. This may be patriotic,
but poor people have long since learn
cd that they cant live on patriotism
The people have their eyes open, and
they will draw comparisons Why,
they naturally ask, increase the
salaries ofclerks and employees at the
State House during the session, and
cut down the poor mans wages, who
compelled under the law, to go to the
Court House and stay there till dis
missed by the Judge, at perhaps an
expense of dollar and half q day.
and only give hm fifty cents? This
may be law, but we respectfully sub
NIT, it is not equity: neither is it true
economy to party that wants to hold
tic rcins Of government and receive
willing and cheerful obedience to its
requirements. A man now who is a
witness in State case must bring his
rations from home, cook them himself
and sleep on wagon in wagon
gard, or lose money every trip"

Squire Bray's Courtship.

Squire Bray, Of Caswell, says a
North Carolina paper, was bunting
another wife, but his son Bob, Il wild
blade, knocked him out Of it. In the
capacious breast pocket Of the squrc's
s:tac coat rcposed a pint ticklcr, well
Tiled, that he only proposed using on
his way back from seeing the widow
Brown. Now just before he started
Bob slipped the ticklcr out and put
in it's place small alarm clcck, care
fully wound up and set for II p. M.
The squire had set the fire out and
was well on with his oycrcoat, hold
ing the widows hand at the door and
putting his sweetest licks for the last.
~ es, your first husband, my dear,
was one Of my best friends, and we'll
visit his and my lost Hannah's
graves, wont We, lovc?" "Ah, YES,
for where was there q swcetcr woman
than your poor lIannah:' asked
the widow. GA good woman; She
was good enough, but there's living
one just as sweet" said the squire.
and was drawing her to him for a
kiss when whizz- -wizz-zi23er- whiZzcr-

and never knew the rackc; till he felt
for his tickler and pulled out the lit

auction. The widow believes to this
day that old man Bray is a walking
volcano.

A Southern Opinion.

The Memphis L"dgei., on the pre-
sent status respectiong John China
man in America, says:
AS the stream Of African humanity
flows West, it is met and crossed at
st. Louis by the Chinese advance
guard. IL the Northern philanthro-
plsts were really animated with Il
sense of justice and desire to relieve
their fellow man in distress, they
could find large field in California.
sThe Chinaman may be degraded :;
may be pagan, and worship a
wooden or II clay god +; may eat rats.
and do other hca:!;cm;s!. things ha.
he is human being, and presumably
has soul to save and vote 10 sci!
on election day. They are patient,
industrious people, and had q civili-
zation and u literature thousands of
years ago. The opposition 10 them
in California and elsewhere is not
because they are heathens, for their
prosecutors make no great pretence
of righteousness. The trouble is that
they are too Industrious and econo-
mical, and are willing to work cheap
cr than Tie Cacassian and African
races. Hence John Chinaman is rob-
bed, beaten, kicked and driven out.
lbcre is something wrong in all this.
The Chinaman has either a right un.
der existing treaties to settle in this
country or lie has no such right. If
he is merely an intruder, with no le-
gal rights, lie ought to be shipped TO
his native country-othcrwise lie
ought TO be treated as well as m
African oran Indian. Two carloads
OF Chinese have arrived at ST. Louis
and five hundred more are coming
close after them. They are mostly
going TO the Eastern cities, the fare
having been put down TO thirty-fvc
dollars from San Francisco to New
York, where they expect to find work
which they can pursue undisturbed.

An Anti Grant Nominee.

A Washington dispatch says that
it is announced in influential quarters
that if Gen. Grant is nominated at
Chicago, his Republican opponents
will mold Il convention and bring ont
another candidate AMI run him inde-
pcndcntly Of the Democrats, Green
backers, and everybody else. They
say it would be impossible to unite
their votes upon the Democratic NOM
inee, whoever he may be, and, there
fore, they must have an independent
candidate Of their own party. The
names Of VIM. NJ. Evarts, Geo. VIM.
Curtis and Julius II. Secylc are men
toned in this connection. With such
q candidate in the field in opposition
TO Grant they seem 10 feel confident
that the latter would certainly lose
tue electoral vote of New York, Con.
neclicut and Ohio, and very likely
that of Maine, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.

Our Danger and Our Duty,

We publish this week the proceed
ings of the County Republican Con-
vcntion, held at Walhalla on the 27th
ultimo. The tone of the meeting
showed disposition to organize The
party anew and press for success at
The coming election. This is Presi-
Dental year and Of course every efol t
Will be made to carry the State for the
Republican candidate. To accomplish
this the party may put in the field a
full State ticket rs well as county
tickets, rs such course would add
strEngth to the party. Besides the
greatest effort will be made to carry
few close Southern States and cmi-
neni speakers, may, with this view,
canyass this State. 1t may be that
many Of the leading lights Of the par
ty have left the State, still enough are
left TO give us q close race unless We
exert ourselves. This hns always
been a party Of thorough and COM
pletc organization and votes at cleo
tions for the nominees. With this
fact before us we cannot afford TO be
caught sleeping.
What is our present condition =?
Are we not organized and united rs
in 1876, or did not the failure to have
opposition in 1878 scatter and diso:-
ganizc our people? 1t may be the
middle and lower counties have kept
up their clubs, but here, we think,
much work must be done to give us
the unity Of 1876. Besides, the pas.
sage OF fence laws has greatly divided
our people, there being in many sec
tlOns divisions and dissatisfaction.
AS far as possible this must be remc-
died, though we do not advocate any
active campaign until after the crops
are finished. We hope, however, to
see our entire Executive Committee
in attendance on salcday, that such
action may be taken, looking to the
call Of County Convention TO select
delegates to the State Convention as
may bc deemed necessary. The
County Convention will probably be
called carly in May.
