PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS,

In his last message the President dis .usses the subject of the election of the president and vice-president. He says that for nearly 6O years all the states ex- cept one have chosen the presidential electors by the popular Vote on gsn- eral ticket, and since the war there has
 een no exception, South Carolina hay
 ng conformed to the general rule.
 'Iichigan has recently departed from the universal method In that state the so called congressional electors and the two senatorial electors are chosen by the voters of congressional and senatorial districts respectively which have been mapped out for this purpose. The president urges that this scheme lets in all the evils of gerry and will surely lead to trouble in the future, and he advocates such an amendment to the constitution as will prevent any such olitical jngplery aud guaranty uultUrm- ity in this matter.

CHRISTMAS CAROL,


The earth has grown old with it's burden of
 sare,
 But at Christmas 1t always is young. The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair, And it's soul full of music breaks forth on tho
 air.
 When the song of the angels is sung. It is coming, old earth, it is coming tonight! On the snowfakes which cover thy sod The feet of the Christ child fall gentle and
 white, And the voice of the Christ child tells out with
 delight
 That mankind are the children of God. On the sad and tAe lonely, the wretched and
 poor,
 Tho voice of the Christ child shall fall; And to every bhnd wanderer open the door Of a hope that he dared not to dream of before, With sunshine of welcome for all. The feet of the hum blest may walk in the field Where the feet of the Holiest have trod, This. this is the marvel to mortals revealed When the silvery trumpets of Christmas have
 pealed,
 That mankind are the children of God.

 My Dear: One gallon of whisky costs about S3, aud contains about 65 tifteen-cent drinks Now, If you must drink, buy gallon aud make your wife the bar-keeper. Wien you are dry give her l5 Cents tor drink, and when the whisky Is gone she will have, after pay Ing for It, S6 75 left, and every gallon thereafter will yield the same profit.
