In taking charge of the columns of the

initial advocate of the best interests Of
the State, we chiefly feel the hcsitancv

falling health of its veteran and honored

each settler should cultivate five acres of land

the choice and pick of the country. The settlers

The Convict Labor system

There are some who express good
deal of sentiment about what the Charles
ton Ne,rS and Comrter terms the iniqui-
tous system of farming out the convicts."
We have noted that an occasional and
eccentric editor of Georgia has the same
notion i'll his head, and if we are not mis-
taken some Florida editor has switched
into the same side track Of ideas. There
have always been sentimental "phian-
thropists' who lament the woes of ras-
Gals suffering the penalty of their crimes
i'll penitentiaries, but who have little
thought for the sutferiugs Of the worthy
who are fighting a desperate battle with
the world for An honest but insufficient
living. In the latter case practical sym
sympathy would cost something, and
therefore the cheap gush over the SORROWS
OF telons is more popular. But has the
telon i'll the convict camp harder times
than the felon within the cells Of pcni-
Tertiary? We venture to say that if al
lowed to try both-thc camp and the
prison the convicts would choose the
former by a large majority, for they have
the fresh air, the sight of nature, and
work only the ordinary hours of labor,
and their fare is at least as good as that
Of laboring men usually. But even if it
were not quite as good, what does the
convict deserve better? He is convicted

FOB DAINTY FEET.

A lady writes :-"Let me record hydro
pathic freak which the fashionable woman is
indulging with her feet. She takes dish of
some sort every night and yours cold water
into it to the depth of about quarter of an
inch, and then puts her bare feet intO it for
about five minutes. A brisk rubbing with u
rough, heated towel follows. This is mighty
comfortable for soles that have been pincl,ed
by tight shoes all day and infiamed by walk
ing or dancing. Beside, have it on the au-
thority of DR.. DiO Lewis, who knows a great
deal that is and isn't true as to the medical
! aspects of woman's dress, that it is healthy.
He has inveixhed against .corsets, without
convincing me or any other wearer of them
that they are unimprovfng or very injurious.
He has failed, too. to induce us to transfer
the weight of our skirts from the hips, where
they are best borne, TO the shoulders, where
! they would be irksOme. But l guess he is
right in his theory about clothing the feet.
while the chest and hips may be overload
ed,' heard him say in a lecture this week,
the feet and legs are exposed, though even in
the house they are always I'm the coolest stra-
tum of air. Narrow soles and high heels
check the circulation of blood in the feet. and
there it is arrested in its motion to anu from
the legs. Congestion of the head and trunk is
the consequence, causing short breath, palpi.
tation of the heart, congestion of the liver and
pain in the lower part of the abdomen. To
| warm the legs by means of skirts hanging
some distance from them is senseless. The
garments should be woolen, and should

A BETTER INTERPRETATIONS Ol
LAW. 4 8 F-ssEs /

The superior court Of the state Of New
York is one Of the sblest courts IN the United
States. At its general term, last Monday, Il
affirmed the injunction granted BY Judge
Arnoux, IN the suit Of W. s.. Williams - re-
strain the payment Of dh idends on t1b000y-
600 ofsnev stock issued by the WesterEU Union
Telegraph, Company to its stookhoidefs& when
it wasconsoIidated with the American Uniof1
and the Atlantic and Pacifc. Chief 51Sdde
lSedgwick concurred with Judge Q.GStma4
who wrote the decision. Judge Vq4Spap

lthat the Issue Of $1s, 900, 900 Of ns1Ssteak'tb y

that this decision Is directly 4optesed to.any
reasoning which the suprens court ef the
United States can urge in tkessaie OF Kiik-

court is one which Is in the midst OF the
largest investors In the United States; one
which Il punctilious in fits regard for the in,

There can be no suspicion laid stits door Of
icommpnistic feeling, or Of looseness of ideas
regarding obligations, still it says, 1.-The fact
that these unlawfully issued shares may have
reached bona,fde holders is not to be regarded
as affecting the question" We hope the
supreme court Of the United States will read
this opinion, and weigh it well. 1t does not
come from township trying, as is alleged, to
Avoid the payment of just debt.
