I:i most Pro.es:aisi t??>!;*?:rit-s j Christmas is given up to s: *rry Msak-1 ing, lh-; giving of prese?:s, es:*cc: ?;ly | between children and {stents, broth- j ers and sisters, and frfc*u?U, ;uiti one | of the most nooular form; of bestow- j ins: these gifts is by the C:;r'Mmasj tree, the manner of which i- fun-liar j to all our readers. But the in >?r [>ls>as- | ant part of the whole festival s t > :he j children who annually 011 C:;n-*masj eve anxiously look for the c of j Santa Glaus. The origin of this practice a -<-o; ding i to the best authorities was i;> Ger- ! many, where the presents' inatVs to ' ( hildppn hp fill narents ware sen* to ! some one person who, dressed in the I typical costuoie of our Santa Clans, as depicted at the present day went from house to house bestowing the intended gifts upon the children. Santa Clans (St. Nicholas) was originally introduced into this country by the Dutch settlers of New York and is the German representative of Knecht Rupert. In this country it is usually a legal { holiday and is celebrated by religions i services, making presents and Xra:is j nno /lorAfoe hi m zt>] f r.r JLiT VI v VUU V muavvi ? v. j herself in miking the day one of joy and gladness both for himself and others by making present * to dear friends and to those who in the Providence of God are denied a full store of this worlds $;oods. Such acts beautifully exemplify the i Masters spirit and as long as time shall last,Christinas will be a day of joy and gladue3st alike to the rich and poor. The Educational Test. Nearly all the papers of the State favor the bill receutly introduced iu the Legislature for the establishment of an educational test for suffrage in ii.:. lii.u tms oiaic. The only objection so far urged against the measure is that it would diminish the State's representation in Congress and the Electoral College. There are abundant instances in Northern States where suffrage is restricted in various ways, vet none of them lose any Congressman or representatives in the Electoral College on ^ ? of>cnn))f of it. In this State also suf been restricted, yet the provisions of the fourteenth amendi#1^ we have lost nothing of repre?ntion. We refer to the registvati'1 ^aw"* H a man *ai's i0 registeris suffrage is "restricted" just as as it would be should he fail to irn to read or write under an educaxonal quali ficalion. In Massachusetts wo find an educa-! . v' tional qualification, yet she loses none i fof her Congressmen because some of i W ' her citizens arc kep: from the poll?, j It does not appear then that we would i ^ lose anything by the enactment of the law. But at any rate we think it should ! pas?, for the very safety of our insti-' tutions, both national and State, depends upon the intelligence of its citi \ zens, tor 11 ignorance i? to ruie we might as well pull no stakes and be done with it. ' Township Bonds. A bill validating the township bonds has been introduced in the Legislature. It provides that the question of validating and ratifying subscription?, contracts and obligations "purporting to be bonds" be submitted to the qualified voters of townships where these "bonds" were formerly i-sued, in about the same manner that the 'bonds" were issusd before declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The election um?t be held ninety days after the passage of the act. We feel sure that if this question is submitted the well known faith and honor of South Carolinians will l>c on ton. We cannot in this stage of onr r "r* development repudiate any obligations contracted by us Hi ^ood faith uuder a law that has since been declared unconstitutional, nor at any tirne, for that matter, because it is t repugnant to a sense of honor and ?-?- vicrht to rpDudiate unv debt, on a tech nically or otherwise. "\Ve hope and fee! sure our people will do nothing of the kind. The decision of the Supreme Court has already acted injuriously upon us. In the market reports it is said that Richmond & Danville stock went down, owing to this decision. This hows that capitalists vein hoc ue uisposed to invest in railroads in this State, unless the people, in spite of the Supreme Court, determine to pay their just obligations. The Boston municipal election, which recently took place, has attracted wide-spread attention all over the country. This was from the fact that women for the first time siticc thev were given the right to vote in school elections generally availed themselves. Sometime ago the school board, which had a majority of Catholics on if, eliminated from the list of text books a certain history winch was alleged reflected upon the Cathoiic Church. This caused the injection of a religious r- issue in the campaign, and it brought ^ out a full vote of the women, both j X minoi-c aim rrotestani. nit ib>iih i w'As victory for the Protestant5; on 1 thit issue and for the Republicans on the municipal reform i??ue.

Dec20 r j Luxuriant Hair Can only be preserved l)y keeping the scalp clean, cool, and free from dandruff, and the body in a healthful condition. Th? great popularity of Ayer's Hair Visor is due to the fact that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the j growth of the hair, prevents it from i falling out, and gives it that soft and silky glos3 so essential to perfect beauty. Frederick Hardv, of Roxburv, Mass., j a gentleman fifty years of a^e, was fast losing his hair, and what remained was growing gray. After trying various dressings with no effect, he commenced the use ot Ayer's Ilair Vigor. " It stopped the falling out," lie writes: "and, to my great, surprise, converted | my white hair (without staining the scalp) to the same shade of broicn it had when I was 25 years of age." Ten Years Younger. Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston, writes: "For years, I was compelled to wear a dress rap to conceal a bald spot on the crown of my head ; hut now I gladly lay the cap aside, for yonr Hair Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I could hardly trust my senses when I first found my hair growing; hut thero it is, and I am delighted. I look ten years younger A similar result attended the use of Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. 0. O. Prescott, of Charlestown, Mass., Miss Bessie H. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J. J. uurton, oi Jiangor, 3io., ana numerous others. The loss of hair may he rvwiiic to impxirify of tlie blood or derangement of the stomach and liver, in which case, a course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla or of j _ Ayer's Pills, in connection with the Vigor, may be necessary to give health and tone to ail tho functions of the body. At the same time, it cannot bo too strongly ur^ed that none of these remedies can do much good without a persevering trial and strict attention to cleanly and temperate habits. * Ayer's Hair Vigor, j Prepared by Dr. .T.
