BEGINNING TO LEARN.

Light is gradually breaking into the dark
ened recesses of the Boston Herald's inner
consciousness. It now says:
"The fact is-strange as it may seem to
some of our readers-that the South is not
strongly partisan to-day. That is to say,
while determined to govern itself, in domestic
matters, in its own way, and willing to adopt
questionable, even criminal, methods to se-
cure the supremacy of the white race in local
government it really has little or no fault to
find with Republican administration of the
general government and takes little interest
in the political discussions of National ques.
tions between the two great parties. The
best Southern statesmen have said for years
that the whites of the South were pressed in.
to one compact body by the exigencies Of the
race question in local government, and by
the apprehension that the general govern
ment Intended to coerce them in regard to
the management of their local affairs, COM
planning, at the same time, that the north
ern people do not appreciate the situation in
States with large proportion of their cltl'
zens only recently raised from the condition
of slaves. Every northern man familiar with
the social condition of the South must have
had good deal of sympathy for the govern
ing race of the South, frequently in numeri'
cal minority. After making due allowance
for old race prejudices, it cannot be denied
that the people of the South, who have 9
stake in the community, have experienced
such evils Of negro rule as might will make
them oppose it by every means in their power

CuR1osrr1Es OF THE Vo1cE.-Dr. Delau-
nay, in paper read recently before the
French Academy Of Medicine, gives some de-
tails of the history and limits of the human
voice, which he obtained after much patient
research. According to the doctor, the prim-
tive inhabitants of Europe were all tenors
their descendants of the present day are bari
tones, and their grandsons will have semi.b bass
voices. Looking at different races, he calls
attention to the fact that inferior races, such
az the negroes, ETC., have higher voices than
white men. Ths voice has also tendency
to deepen with sge-the tenor of sixteen be-
coming the baritone at twenty-five, and bass
at thirty-fve. Fair.complexioned people have
higher voices than the dark skinned, the for
mer being usually sopranos or tenors, the lat
ter contraltos or basses
"Tenors," says the doctor, "are slenderly
built and thin; BASES are stoutly made and
corpulent." This may be the rule, but one
is inclined to think there are more excep-
tions to it than are necessary to prove the
rule. The same remark applies to the as
sertion that thoughtful, intelligent men have
always deep-toned voice; whereas triaers
and frivolous persons have soft, weak voices.
The tones of the voice are perceptibly higher,
he points out, before than after meal, which
is the reason why tenors dine early, in order
that their voices may not suffer. Prudent
singers eschew strong drinks and spirituous
liquors, especially tenors, but the basses can
eat and drink generally with impunity. "The
South" says the doctor, furnishes the tenors,
the North the basses;" in proof Of which he
adds that the majority of French tenors come
from the south Of France, whilst the BASES
belong to the northern department.

A WoMAN's VITA woman's advice is
generally worth having; so if you are in any
trouble, tell your mother or your wife, or
yoSr sister, all about it. Be assured that
light will fash upon your darkness. Women
are too commonly adjudged verdant in all
but purely womanish affairs. No philosoph-
ical students of the sex thus judge them.
Their intuitions, or insights, are the most
subtle, and if they cannot see a cat in the
meal, there is no cat there. I.advise man
to keep none of his affairs secret from his
wife. Many home has been happily saved,
faGh an cSSadadehce ffr4 # BIS vile: Woman is far
more seer and q prophet than man, if she
be given fair chance. As general rule,
the wives confde the minutest Of their plans
and thoughts to their husbands. Why not
reciprocate, if but for the pleasure OF meeting
confidence with confidence. The men who

would succeed in getting into the State House.
Such result was looked upon Lot only as an
evil, but as a disgrace. In the Southern
States the feeling IS much stronger, because
of the addition of race prejudices, and &C.
tual experiences of the most unsavory char
acter. And it has ever seemed to us to be
the worst thing that could happen, that the
government in every State should be one
that could not sustain itself without assistance
from the general government. A great many
Republicans take the same ground. The pol
icy of the present administration in relation
to the States was based upon it, and the result
of that policy has been the paci6cation Of the
South, the almost entire absence Of race con-
ficts and outrages, and the actual growth
Of toleration." ---- - /

DURATION OF ETERN1TY.-Various illus.
trations have been suggested to convey to the
mind some idea of illimitable duration. 1t
has been said, suppose that one drop Of ocean
should be dried up every thousand years,
how long would it be ere the last drop would
disappear and the oceans bed be left dry and
rusty2 Far onward as that would be in the
coming ages, eternity would but have just
commenced. It has been said, suppose this
vast globe upon which we tread were com.
posed of particles of the finest sand, and that
one particle should disappear at the termina-
ton of each million of years, oh how incon-
ceivably immense would be the period which
must elapse before the last particle would be
gone And yet, eternity would be in its
morning twilight. It has been said, suppose
some little insect, so small as to be irnpercep-
tible to the bare eye, were to carry this world
by its tiny mouthfuls to the most distant star
in the heavens. Hundreds of millionsof years
would be required for the single journey. The
insect commences on the leaf Of tree and
takes its little load, so small that even the
microscope cannot discover that it is gone,
and sets out on an almost endless journey. At
ter millions and millions of years have rolled
away it arrives back for its second losd. Oh,
what interminable ages would elapse before
the tree would be removed! When would
the forest be gone? And the globef Even
then, eternity wclld but have commenced.

SENATOR HAMPToN's VIEWS
COLUMBIA Friday, November Ex-senator
Hampton is known foe to interviewing, but
| chanced to catch him for a moment at the
Fair to day just before the races began, and
obtained the following expression of opinion,
although given necessarily very hurriedly
and briefly:
I said, General, have you time to give the
Ne,Us and Courier your views of the mooted
question of Democratic dissolution?
He replied: II will try to do so very brief:
ly and hastily, as you desire it. I see no rea.
son why there should be any disintegration of
the Democratic party, but, on the contrary,
every reason why its organization should be
preserved intact"
Rep: Do you think that the cause Of the
recent defeat lies with the Northern wing Of
our party?
Gen. H.: 1t has been from no faul! on their
part that the Northern Democracy have failed
to carry their States. 1t is only their misfor.
tune, as it is ours, that their strength was not
greater I can, therefore, see no propriety
nor Justice in deserting the Northern wing Of
our party as long as our alliance is desired
by them, or while they are acting in perfect
good faith toward US. ..
Rep: Do you think, General, that it is
possible to create single party in this coun:
try to dissolve others, as has been advocated
in another State?
Gen. H.: New parties cannot be made tc
order, and think that the great antagonistit
principles which have divided the Democrat
ic and Republican parties will contend fol
supremacy in the future as they have done ir
the past. Believing that the success of the
Democratic party is the only means by which
all the irritating questions Of the past can be
settled satisfactorily to the whole country
