Let common Of pasturage be restored upon
all unimproved lands, properly defining what
constitutes unimproved lands, properly dein-
ing what constitutes improved lands, and
require no fences around improved lands to
protect them from trespass Of men or animals.
The account between the landholder and the
general public will then be fairly adjusted
upon equitable principles. The landholder
will have no unnecessary burden imposed upon
him in the development and enjoyment of the
property upon which he pays taxes; and the
remains from the original general fund, and
has not been appropriated by the grantee
through the improvement contemplated in the
grant.
Observe now with such amendment the
operation of the law. The agricultural land
holder is relieved of the heavy burden of fenc-
ing of which he complains. The pastoral
landholder or the non-landholder is deprived
of no right which he possessed. He may still
have the pastoral use of all waste lands he is
only required, in so using them, not to abuse
his neighbor. While pasturing his stock upon
his neighbours waste lands, he is not to pasture
them upon his neighbor's crops. That is all !;
and surelely unless the ownership of live stock
without the ownership of land conters extra
ordinary rights, there is no iniquity in the
reQuiSitiOn.
A system of individual OF cooperative herd
ing, entirely practicable and comparatively in
expensive, as evidenced in the experience OF
other countries, will take the place OF our
present inefficient and expensive system OF
enclosures, and we will as people soon recog-
niZe the passage of the Stock law as an era in our
progress. JOHNSON HAGooD, Governor.
eay" The railroad bill now before the House OF
| II .lo4.. u
cation of the present laws in this State, and so
far it is very good, but where changes have
been made it seems to us that the bill is very
Objectionable. For instance, one section al
lows discrimination in freights at terminal or
] functional points, but prohibits it elsewhere.
The effect of this section, if put into practice,
would again establish the determinations
which existed in favor of Seneca City, Green-
vile, Spartanburg. Columbia, Florence, Aiken,
Chester, Charleston and perhaps one or two
other points in the State, to the injury OF all
other points in South Carolina. 1t also allows
railroads to carry freigllts through the State
to points beyond the State cheaper than they
will deliver them in the State. 1t prohibits
the consolidation of railroads or the purchase
or lease of one railroad by another The effect
of this, if put into effect five years ago, would
have been to leave all of our railroads in the
hands of men incompetent to run them, and
kept us impoverished by a horrible system OF
msmanagement which existed in this State
before the consolidation of the various lines OF
railroad, under the management Of men who
have the capacity and capital necessary to
give us good roads, cheap freights and quick
schedules. We want railroads built in South
Carolina and must get our assistance from
outside capitalists. Intelligencer.
WHY Docs RUN SIDEwAYs.-More than
one person has doubtless entertained this spec
ulation. A correspondent of the New York
Sun explains: There are several reasons of
| scientific character why q diagonal position OF
dogs body to the line of his motion is the
most advantageous for the dog when going at a
trot. /. He is less liable to be upset. Any
oblong body moving forward on the ground
has a broader bearing when turned athwart or
diagonally than when going directly endways
A dog gains fifty per cent. or more OF base by
| thus running, so to speak, upona broad gauge,
that is to say, direct line of his length. Being
| liable to kicks and blows, and to be pounced
upon by other dogs, it is obvious that he is
able to offer greater resistance when moving
diagonally. 2. In case dogs safety requires
him to turn suddenly and run in All opposite
direction-as he is frequently compelled to
do-his diagonal position is then most favora-
BILE to him, because he is partly turned around
! already, and his feet are in a position to serve
his object most effectively. 3. The diagonal
position enables him to throw a backward
glance of his eyes more readily, so that he is
safer from attack in the rear. The nature
and habits of dogs are peculiarly interesting
to mankind, and especially to young people.
Does not their diagonal trot show in familiar
way the wondrous faculty of instinct?
MALE POCKETs.-The full-dresS male ami
NAL abounds in pockets; he has coat pockets,
vest-pockets and pants-pockets breast pock-
cts, side-pockets, hip-pockets, pockets in his
overcoat, his ulster, and his rubber overalls !;
never less than IL to 20 Of these economical
hiding places for lots Of articles, cash Ill
change, cash in bills, lawyers briefs, sermons,
tradesmen's accounts, doctors prescriptions,
architects drawings, tax gatherers' lists,
blank books of all shapes and sizes, enough to
stock a booksellers stall or merchants
counting room. All kinds of pocket articles
are enumerated and defined in the dictionary
pocket comb, pocket compass, pocket pistol,
pocket money, pocket glass, pocket volumes,
pocket inkstand, pen, pencil and the like. A
schoolboy's pockets are a curiosity; reposlto-
ry for nails, balls, jack knives, ginger bread
and apple cores, fishing twine and angle worms.
and, as he grows older, billets from the girls,
''eXcusesr from his mother, and extra prob
lens from his teacher. A female lecturer OF
some celebrity said, 1.-the only thing for which
she envied a man was his multitude OF pock-
ets.-Iroy Times.
COLD FEET AND SLEEPLEsSNESs.-Th as
sociation between cold feet and sleeplessness
is much closer than is commonly imagined.
Persons with cold feet rarely sleep well, espe-
cially women !; yet the number of persons
troubled is very considerable. This is the plan
to adopt with cold feet : They should be dipped
in cold water for a brief period. Often just to
immerse them and no more is sufficient and
then they should be rubbed with pair OF hair
flesh gloves, ora rough Turkish towel, till they
glow; Immediately after getting into bed:
After this a hot-water bottle will be successful
in maintaining the temperature of the feet,
though without this preliminary it is impotent
to attempt to do so. Disagreeable as the plan
may at first appear, it is efficient and those
who have once fairly tried it, continue it, and
find that they have put an end to bad nights
and cold feet. Pills, potions, lozenges, might
caps' and all narcotics fail to enable the suf-
ferer to WOO sleep successfully 4; get rid of the
cold feet and the sleep will come OF itself.
WHY THEY OFTEN FAIL.-Young men Of
ten fail to get on in the world because they neg
lect small opportunities. Not being faithful
in little things, they are not promoted to the
charge of greater things, A man who gets
subordinate situation sometimes thinks it not
necessary for him to give it much attention.
He will wait till he gets a place of responsible
ity, and then he will show people what he can
do. This is very great mistake. Whatever
his situation should be he should master it in
all it's details, and perform all it's duties faith
fully. The habit of doing his work thorough
ly and conscientiously is what is most likely
to enable young man to make his way With
