/ or course nothing else was to be expect
ed but that the Republican organs would
raise a great howl on account of the
defeat of Smalls in the Seventh Congress
sionSl district OF South Carolina. The
jhOwE is late coming, bun 1t has come at
last, and it's long and loud one.
! The New York Tribune has a special
/ from Washington which purports to tell
how 1t was done, and which claims that
Republican majority OF %, 600 was over
come by the vigorous Democratic cam
patgn," and the Democratic candidate
elected by 40 majority. 1t follows the
usual mendacious Republican method of
denying indisputaole facts, and asserting
as facts falsehoods that will serve most
of the readers OF that paper as well as
facts. lis stated that there was no Re-
publican dissfection, and the cele.
brated triangular contest in the district
| is ignored.
There is one regularity about this
! howl, however. 1t does not lay so much
stress on the alleged fact that the negro
majority was overcome b. shrewd man
agement, and that a great wrong was
thereby perpetrated on the negro vo-
ters. The loss of Smslls' vote in Congress
is deplored by the protectionists. A promi-
nent Republican, most probably James 6 d.
Blaine, Is reported as writing to a friend
in WashInkto "Will the leaders OF our
party continue to submit to such out
RACES? Will the protectionists su bmit to
such theft by the free traders, reducing
so large majority to an inferior mi
| nOrity?'
This shows that a desperate effort will
probably be made in the future to array
! the negro vote in the black districts of the
South against the revenue reformers of
the North and West. Smalls, no doubt,
can get the Doodle necessary to satisfy his
supporters in 'S9. The rObber barons
want his vote, and the Democrats OF the
Beaufort district will have to keep well
| organized and prepare thoroughly for the
next campaign or they will get it. Now
is the time to unmask Smalls before mis-
colOred constituents, and show them tn at
their true interests are safest in the keep
ing OF the Democratic party.

Ancient Perfunles.

Two ancient Egyptian perfumes have been
reconstructed through the researches Of a
young French professor at Lyons who has de-
voted himself TO study ing Egyptian sepulture
and the plants of the Nile Valley. BY hunt

lions on the walls OF the temple lavatories he
mas iound the recipes Tor the manufacture o.
"tasi" and "kyphi." The former was a tenn
pie perfume, used to annolnt the statues of
the Egyptian Venus. "Kyphi" was more i'm

1t is quite trick to jump of a train going
along say at thirty miles an hour. and the
Americans take pride IN cultiyating dex-
terity in this trick. II takes considerable
practice before it can be done successfully.
The way TO jump is always with he train and
on the eft hand side of the latter, letting the
right foot rest on the step. and the left foot
swung from the step. Then iump so that the
left foot will touch the ground first. and the
right foot Immediately follow il, SO as to be
able TO run. some oil the meu jump from the
middle of the train or the front, but most o
them so to the rear car and jump, SO that if
they fall they will hot roll under the cars. A
correspondent says: 1.-THE hest man I ever
saw. and the only man who could hold hi
feet and stop himself without running at all.
IS Charles Phi lips. He could jump from a
Iraln running thirty five miles an hour, and

suit the winter travel the most important
one to Savannah is that OF the East Ten

connection with the trains of the Savan-

trains are now run over that railroad to
Macon, Atlanta and the West, as follows
Leave Savannah 7:c6 a. M; arrive Macon
200 p. M: arrive Atlanta 3 :35 p. m.
Leave savannah AS p. m; arrive Macon
I 80 a. m: arrive Atlanta 1880 a. N.
Leave Savannah l:30 p. m; arrive Macon
1l:20 p. m. arrive Atlanta 20 a. m,
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia is also running a train leaving Jesup
al $3.50 4. m. and arriving at Bruus wick at
1l:20 a. m. These changes, together with
fast and frequent trains, are of great ad-
vantage to the business men of Savannah

them prompt communication with large
area OF territory, the trade OF which comes
