Enamel Had made that complexion, I swear And Nature imposed not a trammel On the color she chose for her hair? That day, I remember, 'twas fair. -5he stood, in her arrogant languor, Her calm twenty countesses' mien, And thought to extinguish, in anger, This poor little chit of eighteen. 0 yes, I accepted her splendor, I saw the great heave of her breast; To majesty homage I render When in diamondsandlace it isdress'd And TTook on its doinirs with zest. But may not I also bo merry, Despite this voluptuous queen, Since somebody vows I am very, Very nice for a chit of eighteen ? [ knew that she thinks me a baby Scarce worth any notice at all; By and by I shall trouble her, may be, And terrible things will befall, And the loser will swear or will squall.

Senatoj Gordon in a late conversation vith an Atlanta reporter reviews at ength the late speech of Senator Schurz md corrects, its misrepresentations of lie real issue presented in the Ohio and Pennsylvania platforms. He states, hat what is demanded in chose platorms, is not an increase definite or inleiinitb of the currencv. hut a n??a.n.f,inn >f th*contraction policy, and a change n the character of the present circula,ing mediUtn, and a modification at east of the National Banking System? ;hat the leading issue is the substitution >f United States Treasury notes 01 jlreeubacks for National Bank notes.hat the object is to save to the country ;he millions of interest which is paid tc sustain the National currency when by '.he issue of-Greenbacks this interest svould be said to the taxpayers?that the question is not a question of inflation 01 jf the amount of paper but as to the kind-of paper dollars. tdu senator snows oieuriy, that attci all, the credit of Che.;National Bank notes is sustained by the goveni.neul bonds upon which they^are issued, and which are deposited in the treasury for the security of the hill-holder. As it is ihe credit of the governraent which iustains the National iiaiik notes, there is no reason why the Treasury notes ssued by the same government should not bo equajly secure,;whilst they save ;he accumulation of "interest, which a aeavy taxed country is.'/iow forced to my. Under the present system forty,\vo millions of citizens are heavily axed to enable two thousand bond lolders the privilege of issuing a curency not a whit more secure and vasty more expensive. To use the words ol lie Senator: "The fact is the advocates of greentacks do not propose an irredeemable :urreney. They propose an absolute edemption, not a mere sham and false treteuse of redemption as is proposed iy the Republican legislation of last winter, for, in order to get the specie, liftl 1?av nmvirlfts !ir?r spllinc hnnrl? in i O 1 reusing tlie debt and the taxes?in a lord, it proposes to borrow gold on iouds to redeem greenbacks with, .'bis is the redemption for which Mr. ichurz voted, and .for opposing which lie Ohio Democrats and others are harged with "demented wickedness." 11 other words, in order to get greenlacka out of competition with the Naional banks, tiie United States treasulepartment is to retire treasury notes vitli gold; thisg(^d is to be obtained inon bonds. To bav the interest noon hese bonds, the people are to be taxed ipon additional millions of indebtedless; contraction is to go on; values re to shrink; enterprise and producluctions are to decrease, while taxes re to increase; and yet opposition to his insane rashness is not only "deaented" but "wicked" opposition. We >ropose to redeem every dollar of greeniaclis by a ;low rate bond, and make his bond interchangeable with greenbacks,' at the pleasure of the holder ; ,nd if a specie basis is to be reached nd maintained, we insist it shall be lone, not by borrowing gold, and inreasing the taxes, and contracting the irculation, and upholding a monopoly, tut by stimulating production and inreasing our exports." Again he remarks : "Jfow if all this .rampant denunciaion hau been against the policj' of the ruel contraclionists, who under the alse ^reteuse of obtaining honest mony, will turn the screws tighter and ighter, year by year, until property hail sell as it did jn England under he same insane programme, for less ban half its real'value; until the land d proprietor shall become the landless ankrupt until the debtor shall be Dreed to pay double the amount conracted for in value; until the owners of he country's concentrated currency hall become also the owners of the ountry's prostrated values; until every udustry sliali be so paralyzed, and the >eople so poor as to lbrce them to conemplate the dire alternative of public epudiatiou and universal private bankuptcy, then there would be .some point n their invective; then there would be genuine force in their warnings gainst repudiation of the government's ndebtedncs#, and the calamity of dislonorod irovernment eretit." I tell you air, repudiation and dishonor are both at the end of the road that eads to the wreck of privato fortunes, ,nd this is the road upon which the ontractionists would lead the people of his country. No sane man contemplates repudiation of the government's ndebtedncss?any portion of it. Cerainly those who advocate a greenback irculation, redeemable in low rate ioihIs, and who are striving to rescue lie people from unnecessary and oppressive taxation, to float another and 10 better currency, cannot, with any ruth, he called repudiationists. No, Mas [ said above, if any policy will ift'd to repudiation, it is that of con-) ruction. This is the towering fact noti j be overlooked iu the controversy. I In conclusion, the Senator shows that the policy adopted by the Democrats of Ohio" and Pennsylvania is neither r unconstitutional nor anti-Democratic, , but sustained by tne authority of Mr. h Calhoun and Mr. Jefferson, and other tl lights of the party. n h ' MAN NOT- DEGENERATING. * t c An old Delusion Dispelled?An* r cient and Modern Bigness. a There never was a dnlnsinn with l^ea . evidence for it, except a permanent im-1 1 pression among mnkind, which of- j81 ten the result, not of accumulated expe-|o< rience, but of an ever renewingjdiscon- tl tent with the actual slate offings, k There is not the slightest evidence any-1 where that man was ever bigger, strong- n er, swifter or more enduring under the > P same condilion of food and climate than tl he is now. ^ As lo bigness, the evidence is positive. ? Modern Egyptians are as big as the ftiummies who were conquerors in their 11 day, and modern Englishmen are big- tl ger. There are not in existence a thou- ci . sand coats of armor which an English v\ regiment could put on . Very few moderns can use ancient swords, because the fi hilts are two small for their hands. End- " less wealth and skill were expended t< nir.kini? ffladiatbrs. and then; ia 110 evi- i.i | dence that a man .among them was as t,] 1 i big or as strong* as Shaw. No skeleton, ft no Statue, no picture, indicates that men in general were ever bigger. The Jews of a lo-day are as large as they were in Egypt ^ or larger. The people of the Bomagna ci , bave all the bearing and more than the a size of Roman soldiery. No feat is recorded as usual with Greek athletics which Euglish acrobats could not per- 81 form now. tl ia rin tiolrftfl uot'or^ fn'V?n ttIiiaIi l? jl uv.iv. io iiv iitirvcn nu ? muv/ tr niuu U rnaked Cornishinen or Yorkshiremeu ? could not strangle. No ruce exists of ? ,! which a thousand men similarly armed . would defeat ah .t.nglish, or German, or " Russian regiment if equal numbers. t( , Nothing is recorded of our forefathers c< here in England which Englishmen ^ . could not do, unless it be some feats of {archery, which were the result* of long . training of the eye continued forgener- u! lations. The most civilized and luxuri- ft ; ous family that ever existed, the Euro- tl pean-royal caste, is physically as big, ^ as healthy and as powerful as any peo-. pie of whom we have any account thaf science can accept. Thiers' Frenchman ai is Ccesar's Gaul in all bodily conditions, C and with an increased power of keeping 1 alive, which may be partly owing to improved conditions of living, but is probably owing still more to developed vitality. There is no evidence that even : the feeble races are feeblerthan they be- in ! came after theirj|irst acclimatization. .v The Eeugalee'waa what we know him . twelve hundred years ago, and the Chi- p< , nainati was represented on porcelain is just as he is now before the birth of Christ. No race ever multiplied like t| the Anglo-Saxon, which has had no ad- ^ vantage of climate, and till lately no ^ : particular advantage of food: Physical fcl j condition depends on physical condi- b< tions.'aud why should a race better fed, b, : beller clothed, and better housed than : it ever was before degenerate? Because Fjit eats corn instead of berries? Com- tc ivu-e the California and Diirirer Indian. r i Because it wears clothes? Tile wearingofjli .{clothes, if burdensome?which theexpe jrie?ceof army doctor*in Indiaasto best . . j costumes for march i.og makes excessive- 'r |Jy doubtful, tbey declaring unanimous- tc ! ly that br'eechless men sulfer from vari- ci : jco.se veins, as men wearing trousers do a ;; not?ronst operate as? a permanent phys- n [j ical (raining. You carry weight liab ; itually. Because they keep indoors? . ;! Compare English professionals with Tasi j manian savages, living in identically h . the same climate, but living out of p doors. j[ 11 The conditions of civilization not only ? j: do not prohibit Capt. Webb, who would J have outwalked, out-swam or strangled P , any German that Tacitus ever romanced ai . about, but they enable him to live to r< j seventy instead of dying at forty-five as ai : i 2,000 years ago he, then probably a slave ' bred for the arena, would have done. Thai tho human race, even under the 11 be?t conditions, advances very little in "] ! physical capacities is true, but then it is w true also that those conditions are fatal jj : to the most powerful of the old improved forces, the survival of the fittest. . Btill an advance is perceptible in vital I power, and we question whether a C( Greek swimmer would ever have cross- ai ! ed from Dover to Calais just asstrong; lv as we question whether the ancient ! world ever nossessed a horse which I would have achieved a place at Epsom, ! Why should man grow feeble in civili- rc I zatiou any more than horses ? p< 1X1" * "**" t ri j Tiie State Fair.?The State Fair J ; of South Carolina will be held Novem-1 ^ | bcr the 9th. at Columbia.

"A righteous man fs merciful unto is boas1," saith the Bible. One of tie greatest sins of the Southern farler is his' neglect of his cattle.
