A pretty fair Democratic vote was polled at lewberry. We heard from only four precincts, but tnere is no doubt of the general result. The Third party people are not in it. They will be exclaiming in sad language this morning when they hear the news-"Where am I at?" The people of Newberry are still satisfied with the Democratic party and will stand by it.

P.osrEnrITY, Nov. 8.-A light rain last night and yesterday has served to "lay the dust" and relieve suffering humanity. The sowing of smal. grain has been dt1syed ia consequence of4he drought. Prosperity's cotton market is again on the boom, Yesterday it brought $7.90. The market has boomed and boomed until it has boomed nearly all of the cotton of the country. A very small portion remains unpicked in the field and only a portion of that picked remains unsold. Rev. T. 0. Keister will preach in Mt. Tabor church on next Sunday morn ing. The election is progressing very qui etly to-d::y, and from present indica tions there will be a light vote polled. The negroes are taking little interest in the election, many of them having no registration certificates. The Third partyites seem to be in a hopeless mi nority. I have been musing and philosophiz ing over some of the wonderful changes that have been wrought during the last half century. A half century is but a short time for an old man to look back over, but it is an awful long time for a boy just entering his teens to look for. ward to, and I reckon it's longer still for a girl, especially if she thinks hei good looks will not carry her to the hymeneal altar before she reaches her half century. When I was a young man casting around there were a num ber of classes or grades of girls, as re gards their complexion, color of eyes and hair. There was the dark skinned, dark eyed, black haired girls. Then there was another grade or class de nominated fair skin, blue eyed and light haired. Still another prominenl girl was the freckled faced grey eyed, red haired girl. Then there were vari. ous other hues of eyes and hair. The auburn, light chestnut, dark chestnut, and sandy eyes, and light blue, dark blue, grey and yellow eyes. When I was courting my wife long ago, I was pleased in describing her as my dark skinned, black eyed, black haired sweetheart, but now what a change has been wrought in the use of our language. Now when I am in the company of ladies, it would awfully shock their sense of stiquette, to hear me describing my wife as a dark skinned, black eyed, black haired lady. It would be just awful, coarse and unrefined. Instead of using those good old endearing adjectives as I used to do. I must forget that pleasure and con dense, those fine unadulterated adjec tives all into one noun, and instead of .saying my wife, has dark- skin, black eyes and black hair, I must just simply say, she is a--brunette. Brunette, bru nette, yes brunette, that is the word, my wife is a brunette. She is not the same woman that I married long ago. Then she was my own dark skinned, black eyed, black haired wife; but now she is my brunette wife. That sounds funny-brunette wife? We have one daughter at our house, and I used to call her my fair skinned, blue eyed, light haired girl, but she two has undergone the inevitable, and I nc longer have my f'air skinned, blue eyed, light haired daughter, but. ] have a most lovely blonde. These latte, day women (and girls have divided themselves, so that only two descrip tive terms apply to all of them. They are either brunette or they are blondes. No middle class, or onesided Issues. ] don't know where these Roman nosed, red haired. grey eyed, freckled faced girls belong. I don't know whethe, they are a species of the brunette or the blonde, but I reckon they go on the side of the blondes. A blonde wouldn't be a brunette for the world, and a bra nette wouldn't be a blonde. It would just be horrid. -I reckon though, a freckle spotted, red haired girl belongE *to the gennes blonde. Sometimes I get these brunettes and blondes awfully mixed. I sometimes don't always know whether I have got a brunette wife and a blonde daughter, or whether I have a blonde wife and a brunette daughter, and] have either to consult Mr. Webster oi call my wife and ask her if she is a brunette or a blonde. She'll quickly answer, "Why 'Yu-Be,' I'm a brunette. Will you never learn anything?" I thank her for the information and then muse and philosophize over brunett and blonde. I experience the greatesi trouble in going into a drygoods store where there are lady clerks to make a purchase. If I want some lace, or rib. bn, or a dress, or something of thai character, the lady clerk is sure to ask me if my wife is a brunette or a blonde. Then sometimes I forget which is the other, and as neither Mr. Webster 01 my wife is near, I must rely on m3 own decisicn which is sometime! awfully at fault. Now there is a vasi difference between my brunette wif< and my blonde daughter. My- bru. nette wife tips the scales at 270, anc she is worth her weight in diamonds while my blonde daughter barely raises the beam at 118. So if I make a mis take and want a dress for my blondi daughter, and tell the lady clerli that she is a brunette instead o: getting a dress for my blonde daughter, I find on arrival at home thatI got a-dress for my brunette wife, and that there is a deficiency in quan. tity, and I am not happy and serene If the error is vice versa; that is, I wani neckwear for my brunette wife, and through mistake of terms tell the lady clerk my wife is a blonde, why you see it's all wrong again because, while the colors suit my blonde daughter, there would be an over plus in quantity and a deficiency in my cash account, and I'm not'happy and serene again. I am now ridding myself of this vexed ques tion by asking my brunette wife and blonde daughter to do their own pur chasing, which they willingly do if ] will promise to foot the bills. Now I never hear the terms brunette and blonde ever applied to boys and men, so I conclude that they must be of the feminine gender, strictly. Boys and girls don't parse now-a-days. Were I called upon to paree brunette and blonde, I would say that they were both very common nouns, of the feminine gender and in the objec tive case. Common nouns, because they refer to every woman and girl in the country. Feminine gender, be cause the terms are only applicable to wives and daughters. Objective case, because they all are, or want to be, the objects of somebody's love. They all offer inducements to be somebody's buntte or somobody's blonde. for Infants "CastorHafssowenadaptedtoeldrenta Irecommenditassepriortoanypreseriptioo known tome." H. A. ARCa, M. D., U So.

When a fellow takes to writing for publication he (naturally) "puts out set hooks" in the stream of public opinion, and if he be of a somewhat conserva tive makeup is prepared to appreciate his "catch" no matter what position it occupies in the fishealogical line be tween the tad-pole and the whale. We discard (from dire necessity) any future mention of the whale, and pro ceed to discuss some of the "small fry," and in all of the meekness of which our modest nature is capable, intro duce to the notice of our readers his semi-embryonic ubiquitousness, The People (one-tenth head, eleven-tenths stomach, and the balance tail), whose sole aim and employment seems to con sist in wiggling around on their im proper fraction and stirring up mud to obscure the vision of marketable fish, and in the after times, whose caudal appendage is metamorphosed into patent back actioned spring attach ments, that goes with a hop, skip and a jump around the whole field of jour nalism appropriating with croaks of equal appreciation for the daihty can dle fly and the noxious bog-beetle and that despite Shakespeare's "jewel in the head" is consigned by Burns' "hump o' the back" to the realms of darkness-Sic transit gloria frogi. The cat fish that gobbles to garble the wily bass, that delicately. tastes and then appropriates without so much as "by your leave" and lastly, that lusus natu rc the merman or talking fish, two of which I have "taken out of the wet" to be rewarded with the following: 1st criticism, "Darn foolishness." 2nd criticism, "Stuff." Now, some people would take on the "high and mighties" if criticsed in such words; but some don't, of which last I am. There is too much sincerity couched in their expressive language to allow in me any, save the kindest feelings of appreciation. Some one has said that "there is al ways a calm after a storm." Speaking from a political standpoint, I am com pelled to admit the truthfulness of the saying; for, in our beat the silence is so dense that you can't stick a butcher knife up to the handle in it. Not one hurrah have I heard for any one. Is this apathy or security? Are we in the storm centre, simply waiting for the other side of the fiery circle? What does it all mean? I can easily under stand why a poor devil like the chap who wears my pants and -who hasn't even any breath to spar, keeps quiet; but I don't understand why the boys who are "scooping in the tin" don't yelp a bit, just as a reminder of "Auld lang sine." I shall allow the question to follow my bad habits, and give it up, because I can't help myselfIlam informed upon good authority that a huge snake, a veritable Anaconda, Boa Constrictor Pithon done up in one package, indul ges in a semi-occasional glide through certain parts of India, mashing small shrubs and twigs, and leaving the im print of his mighty body, even upon logs in an advanced state of decompo sition. So far. have I dealt in fact, per mit me to indulge in a little bit of fancy; but first, has any one lost a pet snake? or to return to our matter or rather snake. Do you suppose that that old hoodlum of appletree notoriety could possibly be prowling in these parts after some ricalcitrant Hebrew who had sold his birthright for a mess of puree or pottage or peaches in the immediate past? Jerusalem Street, dots have been somewhat sparce of late owing to the fact that the dotter was laid up with the sore-head; but now that we have gotten so that "we speak as we pass bye" and since he has attended a con venticle of the congregation, and heard with what sincerity they cried out "let us kill the fatted prodigal, the calf's got back" he is prepared to promise you something rich, rare and racy in the line of gossip, politics and educa tion. Cotton is almost all out, money en tirely so and every thing else is hump ing itself to to keep up with the pro cession-except poverty, of which latter we can say, without boastfulness,' we have enough to supply the demands of future generations, with lavish prodi gality without material detriment to the surplus. We have a little bread, and, with abject apologies to Smith & Co., a "few molasses" and if the rains hold out we expect to have plenty of watey. Speaking of rain, we have just witnessed the retreat of one of the most profitable dry spells seen in these parts for some time. On Friday we ob served signs of its termination. Thei clouds gathered from all four corners| Iof space. The leaves were tremulous! with half doubtful anticipation; the thirsty stood agape; the ants carried in their front doors; the old hens oiled their overskirts and things' generally Iwere ready, willing and waiting for rain; and it came and caught some of us, as it always does, out of stovewood. That wvord out has a terrible signifi cance; it used to be "out of sugar, out of coftee, out of clothes, out! out! out! eternally out, until in anguish of soul I implored the "old woman" to substi tute some equivalent, until she could congratulate me upon lbeing out of debt. She agreed to taboo the word, and I'm. safe for the next century. We even say "let's vacate the domicile" to keep from saying out of tbe house. What equivalent does she use? Well, that's a secret; but I will tell you, pro vided you won't tell anybody else. Is still at the front! You can rely on it! It never fails to perform a cure! DI.

Your correspondent has been charged with a desire to appear boorish, and looking over this epistle from the He brews I find one expression that savors of Latin to a person who does not know better. I have only this to say, that this is a great educational epoch, a time for kind of lifting folks up to a certain level. So just get your Latin lexicon and look up my meaning, and if you don't find it, it is a fairly good sign that I don't know what I'm talking about. There are to be several matrimonial occasions in the country in the near future.
