Women Who Enjoy Homework.

Women generally enjoy housework; it Is
''bred in the bone" with most Of US, and 1t is
only the protests and complaints OF married
women who have to beg for every cent they
spend that make the rest of US look askance
at it. Once married even the most enthusi-
astic practitioner takes up household duties
as naturally as a duck swims. know one
lady physician who made bargain with her
intended husband that she should not have
any Of the responsibilities of housekeeping.
They would not board, but they secured a
well trained servant and determined to trust
everything to her. But-don't laugh-the
lady broke the agreement herself. Mr.. -
never blamed her for any hitch in the do
nestle machinery, but dusty table or an
overdone steak seemed to her to be living re-
proaches to her management or lack of man
agement So she now spends her vital force
lavishly in trying to do her duty in two ex-
acting professions-and housekeeping, let NE
tell you, is not the least exacting Of the two.
She seems to enjoy it all, though-thinks she
is getting the cream Of Efe.-"W. b. W." in

Death of Isaac Hayne.

Speaking of the death of Mr. Isaac
Hayne, the News and Courier says:
The shock felt at the announcement OF
the death of Mr.. Isaac Hayne was not con-
fined to the large circle OF his Immediate
friends, but extended Throughout our
entire community; and the recent knowl-
edge of his sickness had not prepared US
for the melancholy tidings. With name
and lineage identified through generations
with the faithful discharge of high duties,
Mr. Hayne in all the relations of life hlled
the full measure of responsibility. or
blameless life and gentle aud amiable dis
position, coupled with tenaclty and hrm'
ness of purpose which never failed, ne de-
served and won the confidence and regard
of al. to whom he was known; and his loss
will be widely and deeply felt.
Mr.. Hayne was graduated from the South
Carolina College in the class Of 1858; and
il was characteristic of him that his college
friends remained bis lifelong friends. he
5. udied law in the Office of Hayne & Miles,
of which firm bis father, the Hon. Isaac

admitted to the bar in 1861.

Pen Picture of the Midnight Sun.

The midnight sun is thus described in
"A Jubilee Jaunt to Norway" Imagine
Yourself on ship at anchor looking west
or OF straight in front OF you. There is a
broad expanse of sea little to your
right hand, behind yon will be the
rugged coast, and to your left the long,
narrow ford between the islands and the
mainland that the steamer has just ira
yersed. You watch the sun as it slowly,
slowly sets; the island and the coasts
look like rich, dark purple, and the
shadows cast by the ships mast, &c,
grow longer and longer. After a bit,
when the sun had sunk apparently twelve
feet from the horizon, it stops and seems
to remain stationary for about twenty
minutes; then the very seagulls hide
away, while the air on sudden strikes
chilly. Each one has an awed, expect
ant feeling, and surrounding even the
tourist steamer broods silence that may
be felt. Soon the sun rises very slowly
once again, and the yellow clouds
change with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first to the palest primrose and
then to blush pink. The sky, which
was Just now rose color, becomes gray,
then pale emerald green, and lastly blue.
Rock after roc6 stands out caught by
the suns bright rays, and the reign OF
day has begun once more.

DISPLACING NEGRO LABOR.

Germans Working on the louisiana Plan
tations.
Some remarkable changes in the labor
system of louisiana are taking place.
Agent Becker, of the German Society,
states that he had, during October, sent
over thousand German laborers to the
sugar plantations. All these have been
sent to the upper coast, the work at La
fourche and the Teche being on the lowe
coast, Oh what is called the Orange Belt,

TWENTY-FIVE and Governor Warmoth
forty, who are asked for to plant cane.
Ia about week the forwarding of labor
ers will begin for that section, where
several hundred more will be required,
which Mr. Becker expects to be able to
supply. Governor Warmoth alone will
hire more than one hundred.
The agents, observations show that
German labor is steadily growing in
favor, as well as in Importance, both I'D

hands were colored; in 1878 cight-tenths,

Statistics of Divorce.

The bureau of statistics has been en-
paeed for a considerable time past IN the
effort to ascertain the number OF divorces
that have been granted in the United
States during the twenty years between
1866 and 1856. The compilation is very
nearly completed. The statistics bear:
ing upon the subject have been derived
from the records of the twenty thousand
courts of law having jurisdiction in the
matter. The report, it is said, will con,
tain vast amount OF information o.
great value from a national point 0,
view, and particularly as basis ol
future legislation. There IS no country
in the civilized world where marriage /:
so easy as in the United States, anc
where divorces are 80 common.

TOO MUCH EXERCISE.
School Girl Said to have been Paralyzad
by Ca1isthen!cs.

(From the Philadelphi Record.)
The caisthenics drill by Section 8 of
Glass G of the Girls Normal School is
condemned by Druggist Charles E.
Haig, who alleges that the length and
severity of the present system is re-.
sponsible for the serious illness of his
sixteen-year-old daughter, Anna. This
is Miss Anna's second year in the Nor
mai School, and she belongs to class
that is assigned two hours each alternate
week for instruction in the cslisthenic
department. The girls are all clad in ex-
ercise suits of flannel and use light
wooden dumb-bells and wands for gym
nastic purposes. Section consists of
sixty girls, the majority of whom have
had years experience in calisthenic
exercises. The delicate pupils, who in
cluded a small proportion of the class,
are excused from physical exercise on
the presentation OF physicians re-
quest. On Friday night, after her ex-
ercise in the calisthenc department., Miss
asig was taken with violent pains in
the neck and head. By Saturday the
right side of her face was paralyzed. DR..
Ziegler, the family physician, ascribed
the paralysis to over-indulgence in cslis-
thenic maneuyres. The young Lady has
suffered very much, and Mr.. Haig says
that under no circumstances will he allow
his daughter to resume physical exercise
when she shall return to the Normal
School.
The physical exercises are given under
the supervision of Miss Grace Spiegle,
who is person of experience in the
calisthenic departments attached to pub
schools, and is known to be very con-
siderate of her pupils. 81 distinctly re-
member that Miss Heig was excused.
from calisthenics all OF Last term on the
presentation of physicians certificate
that she was unable to indulge in such
exercises" said Miss Spiegle yesterday.
s.But Section 3 of Glass G has had only
one hour this term In calisthenics. But
one hour and fifteen minutes actual time
in two weeks is devoted by G 8 to my
department.. The time is divided in this
way: Ten minutes are devoted to the
use of the wand and fifteen to explaining
the physical movement. This interval
rests the scholars and another ten min.
utes are spent in exercising. The girls
then recite portion of the lesson, and
after this second rest short conversation
is indulged in, and the session closes
with ten minutes more of exercises.
watch the girls very closely, and any
scholar who I think is not capable of en-
during the easy exercises I excuse from
performing them. Contrary to proving
an injury, it has greatly benefited the
young girls, as numbers of. them can
testify, and they look forward with
pleasure to the hour they spend in my
department"

The Feeling in Washington.
WASHINGTON, November 7.-Busines
was especially suspended in the depart
ments and at the White House. SeYera
members of the cabinet called on tht
President, as also did Justice Lamar
and Chief Justice Fuller. They did not
remain long, however, and Secretary
Whitney remarked on leaving that he
was not surprised at theresult, especially
in New York, where he had for some
days past seen evidences of Republican
success. he said he thought the change
was due to the persistent presentation OF
the false idea that tariff reform meant
free trade. It seemed impossible in the
length of time given to the campaign to
educate to educate the masses.
Shortly after noon Mrs. Cleveland,
who spent last night at the White
House, took carriage and drove quiet
ly to Oak View, where she will be kept
informed by telephone Of any later news.
In the departments the Democratic
clerks and officials are wrestling with
figures and possibilities and rumors, and
hoping that some unexpected develop
ment may yet give the result to Cleve-
land.

can Congressional committee, puts the

claimed by Harrison, was fired by the
Republicans on the White lot, adjoining
the White House grounds. Business
has been at stand still and in the de-
partments today.
Colonel Lamont says Governor Hill
had done all he could for the ticket, and
the vote he got in excess of Cleveland
was largely from the Republican liquor
interest.
