When Gen. Robinson was bravely
fighting to preserve the Union, pro-
tect the homes of the loyal people Of
the United States, and build up the
prosperity Of American citizenship,
James W. Newman was prowling
around in the rear Of the Union SOL
diers, declaring the war failure, and
solemnly assuring the brave defend-
ers Of the Union that they never could
coerce State. When Robinson was
shooting wisdom into the hot-heads
of the South, Newman, by words of
cheer, was trying to put additional
devilment into them. While Robin
son was wearing the blue Of the pat
riot, New man was wearing the butter
nut Of the copperhead. While Rob-
iuson was calmly and determinedly
marching upon the enemy's works,
Newman was sneaking around in the
North trying to frighten the loyal
women and children by looking fierce,
and exhibiting to them what terri
Die danger the brave boys in blue es-
capped by getting away from hin and
going South. While Robinson was
soiling his military. uniform with
blood, Newman was soiling his but
ternut garb-but why pursue the
comparison further. Robinson's rec
ord grows brighter, and Newman's
nastier, the further you go, It is the
duty Of every soldier, as we'll as every
good citizen, to vote for Gen. Robin
SON.

This should be time of Serious
thought on the part Of every voter,
and more especially so ON the part Of
the voters i'll the iron regions. The
Democratic party stands arrayed as a
Free Trade party, and the tools of
Free Trade monopolies, and asks
American working men to come over
TO it and vote to PROSTATE their own
business interests and degrade their
own labor. The very politicians who
urge the warkingmen to thus vote
against their own interests are asham-
ed of their own work, and asked the
question, direct, as to whether OR not
they are in favor of Free Trade, will
pointedly deny it, while at the same
time they will go on arguing at length
in favor of their iniauitous idea.

The presence of Blaine in Ohio is
creating the widest enthusiasm every
where. Thousands crowd to the rail-
way stations as he passes along, and
cheer the next President on his way.
An oldtime politician remarked a few
days ago that he had been travelling
around a good deal during the present
campaign, and he had never but twice
in his lifetime seen such enthusiasm
those times were in 1910, and in
1880 The people are thoroughly
aroused, and Blaine and Logan, and
the gallant Gen. Robinson, will
triumphantly sweep Ohio, in October
and November The time has not
come for turning this Government

The last number Of the Waverly
Watchman was almost entirely made
up of patent stereotype plates, but
among the little bit Of it that was
printed in Pike county we find the
following:
From the dirty, miserable filth that
the editor of the Jackson STANDARD
it writing about Leo Ebert, is plain
to be seen the tide in that county is
strongly against Thompson.
The only filth" the Standard has
written about Leo Ebert was the
statement Of few facts that Mr..
Ebert cannot deny-that he spent all
his time in this place at the lowest
kind of a doggery; that he remained
in the same kind of a place in Coalton,
and narrowly escaped thrashing for
abusing Republicans; that he is a
Free Trader; and that instead Of be-
ing the friend Of the laboring man he
is most bitter enemy. As to Jack
son county being strongly against
Thompson" we earnestly invite Jones
TO perusal Of the returns, on next
Wednesday. The fact Of the matter
is, the Watchman is badly scared lest
Thompson shall carry Pike county.

Sun-birds are only found in Africa and
India, including the Nalayau region
true humming- birds, as everybody
knows, are entirely confined to the Amer
lean continent. In other words, the
same place in nature which has been oc-
cupied in the tropics OF the old world by
n group of sparrOw-like-birds has been
occupied in the tropics Of the new world
by group OF highly developed swifts.
Hence the humming-birds, though de-
scended from a totally different ancestral
stock, have in the end acquired almost
every oue of the peculiar features which
the sun birds display in our own eastern
continental area. The same conditions
have in the end produced in both cases
pretty much tine same results. At some
remote period, group OF tropical Amer
icau swifts began 10 hunt tor insects
the tubes Of flowers. exactly As the an
cestral snn- birds began to do in the cas-
tern hemisphere. Gradually, as the hab-
it Of fiowcr-huutinS became more and
more pronounced. the organization OF the
birds began to depart, under the influence
of natural selection, more and more wide
" from the primitive swift-like tyre The
birds best adapted to the new circum-
stances survived and intermarried, while
the worst adapted died constantly out.
The short, broad bill was TINS slowly
heightened into the extremely long, slen-
der, and graceful be0k OF the modern
humming- birds, aud the wings were
adopted to the rapid darting fright from
flower to flower, and the habit of poising
stationary in front OF the chosen bunch
Of blossoms. Yet to the end, the hum
ming-birds in their anatomical peculiari-
ties still remain essentially swifts, and
are easily distinguished by n naturalist
from the externally similar but fundamen-
tally different perchiug sun-birds. In
deed, Mr. Wallace has shown that hum
ming birds even now live, like the swifts,
mainly on insects, and when he tried to
feed some Young humming-birds in cap
tiyity on sugar and water alone, he found
they refused that uuwonted fare in favour
Of flies and spiders, In short young
humming- birds are still essentially in the
swift stage of their dovelopment.-T The

Tea In south Carolina.

Wal tea grow in America ? is often
asked Here is the answer by cores
pondent of Baltimore paper Seed
liugs Just three years old measured seven
feet high. Will tea made from these
plants be good tea? Yes, for | have made
the best tea ! ever drank from American
leaves. | say "best" not because the
leaf grows better here than in China, not
chest" because the tea was fresher, for
tea is never SO good as it is at the place
of growth it loses both in quality and
strength, and the absorption by it of any
surrounding moisture or fiavors is an
other source of deterioration. Tea should
be put in motal-lined packages, as soon
as cured of suitable size for family use,
and not in big chests that are open to out
side influences. Will tea pay to cultivate
in America?
That is the question, and one not easily
answered. To successfully make tea re-
quires n climate that will, in the season,
continually force out new leaves in the
place OF those that are picked off ii is
warm moisture that does this, and wheth-
er our climate offers these advantages re-
mains to be found out, for the experiment
has not been carried far enough. Most
people imagine it is the expense OF max
| ing the commercial article out of the
leaves wherein lies the difficulty, and they
talk about cheap Chinese labor, etc, but
you might rs well compare the 'cheNp
Chinese" mode of transportation by cool
les over mountain roads to our railroads.
Tea making, which in China is tedious
process entirely by hand, under Euro
pean management in India is n simple
and quick process done by machinery,
end no doubt, if tea making ever becomes
an industry in America, Yankee ingenuity
will greatly simplify and excel the cum
brous English tea machines now used in
India.
In one respect American tea would be a
great advantage to our people. 1t would
be an educator, for it would simply be
American tea made on American princi-
plea it would be n departure from the
foolish adulterations of China it would
bo without any Oriental glamour Of hum
bug and the community would open
their eyes 10 the fact that in many casea
they had been buying tea to look at, not
to drink that they had been paying chi
Ia millions Of dollars extra for what the
trade politely calls 'style," what the
chemist calls Prussian blue, gypsum and
dlumbago, and which the willy China.
man knows is often the cloak that covers
a poor quality of leaf 1t is no use for a
reputable dealer to tell of these abuses,
the public only smiles and suspects a
deep-laid plot to humbug with something
else. But one of these days, when the
old lady public, who has been as particu-
lar in the selection Of her favorite "gun-
powder" rs she is in the shade OF her
dress, will be given some American tea,
and as she delights in its aroma, its sooth-
ing influence, she exclaims at its uneven
shape, Its molly color, Its absence OF
'style, then the scales of prejudice may
fall from her eyes she may too who
knows add 10 her old age, and one of the
missions Of American tea will have been
accomplished.

niStory ofthc Alphabet.
II ON the Phradelphla Ladgsrl

'r 'oH' ''.s VI 'p..' "''s''J
How many OF the millions that daily
use the alphabet ever stop to think OF Its
origin and long history? In the true
spirit OF student, Isaac Taylor, we'll
known Engnsh writer on phllosophlcal
and philogical subjects, has recently
written and published IN London two
stout volumes, under the title Alphabet,
an Account Of the Origin and the Develop
ment OF Letters. 1t Is only by help OF
recent discoveries OF early Inscriptions
and the progress in the art OF reading lost
language and decipherin9 hitherto un--
known symbols, that such well-posted
history has become possible. BY careful
study Of the learned essays and scientific
investigations OF the latest philologlsts
Taylor has set forth N language within
easy comprehension the origin of the
alphabet, showing that our own "Roman"
letters may he followed back to their very
beginning, some twenty or more centu-
ries ago, % lie asserts. We have no bet
ter letters, according to this account, than
those of the Italian printers of the tf-
teenth century. These were imitatated
from the beautiful manuscripts of the
tenth and eleventh centuries, the letter
| ing of these being derived from the Rom
nn of the Augustan age. The Roman
letters, in turn, are traced to those en-
ployed at Rome in the third century B. c.,
and these do not differ greatly from forms
used il the earliest existing specimens OF
Latin writing, dating from the fifth centu-
ry B. c. This primitive alphabet of
Rome was derived from q local form of
the Greek alphabet, in use about the
sixth century b. c., and that was varie-
ty of the earliest Greek alphabet belong
