Rules for the Care of Tlie Eyes.
When writing reading drawing sewing
etc., always take euro that? ,]
(a.) The room is comfortably cool
and the feet warm ;
(b.) There is nothing ti^ht about ['
tho neck ;
c.. There is plenty of light without jj
dazzling the eys ; jj'
d. The sun doc* not shino directly jj
on the object we are work upon ;
e. Tho light docs not coine from in j
front i it is best when it comes ovor i ^
tho left shoulder; j"
/. The head.is not very much bent
over the work;
<7. The page is nearly perpendicuIar
to the lino of sight; thut is, that ^
the eye is nearly opposite the middle
of the page, for an object held slant- *,
ingis not seen so clearly. t
ft. That the p:ige or other object, is
not less than fifteen inches from the t
e>'?' , , t
t Near-sightedness is apt to increase
raj)idly when a person wears, in. readfrlnsarw
ini-ondnrl to enable .
him to see distant objects.
In any case, when the eyes nave k
any defect, avoid fine needle-work
drawing of fine maps, and all such
work, except for very short tasks,
not exceeding half an hour each, and |
in the morning. , j
Never study or write before break- 7
fast by candle light. *
Do not lie down when reading. v
If your eyes are aching from fire j(
light, from looking at tho enow, from
over-work or other causes, a pair of
colored glasses may be advised, to be
tor a while. Lisrht blue or gray- ?
ish blue is the best.shade, but these I
glasses are likely to be abused, and ?
usually, are Lot to be worn except '
under medical advice. Almost ail ?
those persons who continue to wear a
colored glasses, having perhaps first j(
teceived advice to wear them. Trav- #i
clin<j vendors of spectacles are not to
he trusted ; their wares arc apt to be
recommended as ignorantly and indiscriminately
:is in the times of the f<
'Vicar of Wakefiold.' ^
If you have to hold the pages of ,
Harper's Magazine nearer than fif- ^
teen inches in order to read it easily i it
is probable that you are quite noar n
,sighted. If you have to hold it two ?
.or three feet away before you can see (
.easily, you are probably far-sighted- }j
In either cases, it is very desirable to IG
consult a physician before getting a n
pair of glasses, for a misfit may per- q
miUUMiny iiijiin; wm \-.j w , ^
Never play trick with the eyes, as jj
squinting rolling tliem. ti
The eyes arc often troublesome-11
.when the stomach is out of order.
. Avoid reading or sewing by twi-L
light or when debilitated by recent ib
.illness, especially fever. p
Every seamstress ought to have a
putting-out table, to plaec her work ll
.on stieh a piano with reference to tho a
Jine of vision as to make io possible ri
to exercise a close scrutiny without c
bending her head or the figure much jC
forward. "
Usual!)* except for aged persons or
chronic invalids, the winter temperature
in work-rooms ought not to ex- in
ceed sixty degrees or sixty-five de- p
grees, To sit with impunity in a a
room lit a lower temperature, added ?
clothing will be necessary. The feet s
of a student or a seamstress should c
bo kept comfortably warm while the s
tasks aroAjbeing done. Slippers are u
bad. In titer the temperature of (1
the lower part of the room* is apt to f'
be one hundred and eight or one ?
hundred and eighty-five lower than i
the upper. . t
It is indispensible in II forms of la- {
bor requiring the exercise of vision
.of minute objects, that the worker
should rise from his task now and
then, take a few deep inspirations
with closed mouth, stretch the frame c
out into the mo*t erect posture, throw ~
the arms backward and forward, and
if possible, step to the window or out J

The Election of Judges
A correspondent of the Ni\ws and !
Courier makes a strong argument for
the position that the election of circuit ,
judges to (ill vacancies is only for the
unexpired term, and not for the full i
term as was supposed to be decided (
. in a late cast;. He says .? i
The decision.of the Supromo Court j
in the caso of Wright vs. Charles re- (
ferret! to by you. as, i believe, a correct
one, 1ml it is notin'point. There
is quite a difference between the pro- ,
visions of tho constitution in reference ,
to the election of a clerk of the court I,
and those in reference to the election ij
of a judge. The constitution itself :
provides for the filling of vacancies .
in the office of judge; it does not pro-|.
vide for the filling of vacancies iti 1 fio j i
office of cierk. Section 27, Article 10, j
> i . 1.1
provides lor uiw imu?:uun ui uu? i-iwjv
of the Court of Common Pleas in each .
county,"who shall hold his office for j
the term of tour years, and until hisjt
successor shall he elected and quali- i
ficd." The Supreme Court in the euse
of Wright vp. Charles, which decides
a question iis to the term of office of ]
one elected clerk, seems to base its'
decision upon the fact that no authority
is given by the constitution ''for
an election to supply a vnrmry arising
from resignation, death, or any
' other cause," and it says, "no distinction
is made by the Constitution be- '
tween the election held by reason of'
W a vacancy occurring, by rcHgnation '
or death, [ami that, 1 suppose i; 1
meant to ?>:iy, caus.-d by expiration
.of the term of office,] and tlie absence '
endi ;> fliffuronce in a matt? r 4
which must have hem in tin* minds
of tho rrumers of ilio cor.stitutiori, '
goes far to sustain tho construction '
contended for b}' the defendant " In 1
the case "of a judge, authority is given (
by the constitution for an election to f
supply a vacancy, and tho distinction '
Referred to is not wanting. '

We are glad to see from the above that c
ur people will soon enjoy increased 0
mil facilities. We do not know what, ^
' any,* changes are to be rfiade in the
une schedule of the Calhoun's Mills 1
nd Augusta route. As the matter is at o
resent managed, the route seems to g
enefit nobody. The mails from below g
ome up and return on Tuesday, the day
efore publication of both of our County c
apers, and our people are forced to en- 6
. riutoa private arrangement for get- 1
ing their papers. We take it for grant- c
d that with the extension of the route, .
new day has been selected for the arival
and departure of the mail, so as to c
onfer pome benefit on our people, c
(therwise we can promise ourselves but \

An ex-Confederate writes to the Nashville i g
Baiintr some pm ticuln ? of the death of the s
jallaut officer named above: The genera] c
.mUlie, ;is well as General Sherman, know a
lothing- of the circumstances under which c
Senend MnPhereon met his death in that t
aard fought battle before Atlanta of July
22. It lias been reported jthat he was
murdered" by the Confederates. The j t
facts are as follows: Ho had gone in front ;g
jf his line of battle expecting the protec- j 0
ion of his skirmishers, bill they had been |
:aptured, and while pacing along a crook- j
:d road through a dense woods, he was ! f
suddenly and unexpectedly in close prox- i d
mity to the Confederates; so near was it 1 s
hat Captain Richard Beard, whose com- \ v
. any was at 1he road, "presented" his al- | 1<
eady drawn sword, and the General, me- j 1
:hanically as it were, took off his hat. He i 1
urned his hoita in.mediately, without a j c
vord having beeii spoken, and was making I I
o the rear rapidly, when a corporal of ; c
Captain Beard's company tired, and the j 1<
gallant McPherson fell to the ground on his j
ace and knees, shot through the heart, j *
.'his command moved immediately to the ; 11
ront (and was very soon captured), leaving I

LIFE IIKMd.VTH THE WAVES.
RT CATV. IJOYTOX.
Soon afterward 1 worked down info the
Julf of Mexico. The first coral I raised
pas in Catoche. Knocking round about there
[ heard of the loss of fhe schooner Foam.
?he first mate and three men got saved,
?ut the captain, hi* daughter, and three
nen got lost. I filling round to foe if she
:onld be raised. After we'd spent the best
u'.rt of the wee]; we sailed over her and
hopped nnehor. It %% ;?s a lovely Sunday
noroing when we struck her. She lay in
ixfy l'eet of water 01 a bottom as while as
he mcon. Looking- <1o*.v^ I could see her
caning over on one tide upon the coral
eef. When I gut down to her I saw she'd
orn a great gap in tiie reef when she ran
gainst it. The me'nmast was gone and
lung by the fore; I clambered up; I saw
k'hole shoals of fish playing in and out of
he hatches. First I v.cut U> look for the
)odies, for I never like to work while there's
,ny of thorn about. Finding the fo'castls j
mpfy, 1 went to tha two little state cabins,
t was rather dark, and I had to feci in the
ower bunks. There was nothing in the
irst, and in the other the door was locked,
pried it open and . hot back the lock with
ny adze. It flew open, and out something
ell right against me. I felt at once it was
lie woman's body. I was not exactly
lightened but it shook me rather. I slung
t from me and went out into the light a
lit until I got hold of myself. Then I
urned back and brought her out?poor
iiing ! She'd been very pretty, and so I
arried her in my arms; with her white
ace nestliner against my shoulder, she
eerned as if she was only sleeping1. I
uide her fast to t'r?e line as carefully as I
ould to send her up, and the fish played
bout her as if they were sorry she was
oing. At last I gave the signal, and she
rent slowly up, her hair floating' round
er head like a pillow of golden seaweed,
'hat was the only body I found there,
nd I managed .after to raise pretty coniderable
of the cargo.
One of my expeditions was among the
liver banks of the Antilles, the loveliest
ihice I ever saw, where t ho white coral
rows into curious tree-like shapes. As I
tepped along the lioitoin it seemed as if I
fere in a frosted fore.-t. Hei-e and there
[ ailed long1 fronds of g!*een and crimson
eaweecl. Silver bellied !';-li flashed about
mong the deep-brown and purple sea
erne, which rose -high as my head.
Far as I could see all round in tlie tranparent
water were diss ent colored loaves,
nd on the floor piles of shells so bright in
olor that it fiffficd as if I had stumbled
n a place where they kept a stock of
ivoken rainbows. I could not work for a
>it, and had a quarter determination to sit
lown a while and vrait for a mermaid. I
ii'.'ss if those sea girls hive anywhere, they
elcct that fcpot. AJ'ter walking the inside
ut of half an hour, 1 thought I had better
;o to work and blast fo.' treasure. A little
lit on from where I sat were tin? remains
?f a treasure ship. It was a Britisher, I
hink, and corals had formed all about her,
>r rather about what was left of her. The
oral on the bottom and round her showed
lack snots. That m?ant a deposit of either
ion or silver. I made fairly good hauls
very time I went down, aiul sold one piece
! found to Barrrum of New York.
After I left there I had a curious adventure
with a shark. I w;is down on a
lasty rock bottom. A man never feels
:om for table on them; he can't tell what
)ig creature may be hiding under the huge
juarter-deck eea leaves which grow there.
The first part of the time I was visited by
jy a porcupine fish, which kept sticking its
juills up and bobbing in front of my
lelmet. Scon after I saw a big shadow
'all across me, and looking up there was an
nfemal shark playing about my tubing,
[t makes you feel chilly in the back when
they're about. He came down to me slick
as I looked up. 1 made at him and he
sheared off. For an hour he worked at it
:ill I could stand it no longer. If you can
seep your head level, its all right, and
you're pretty safe if they're not on you
harp. This ugly brute was twenty feet
long, I should think, for when I lay down
all my length on the bottom he stretched
a considerable way ahead of ine, and I
could see him beyond my feet. Then I
waited. Thoy must t;mi over to bite, and
my lying down bothered him. He swam over
three or four times, and then skulked off to
a, big thicket of seaweed to consider. I
knew he'd come back when he'd settle his
- - - - ^ t?
min<1.0 It seemeu a long umc waning uu
liiin. At lust he came viciously over me,
but like the time before, too fur from my
irms. The next time I had my chance,
and ripped him with my knife as neatly
as I could. A shark always remembers
tie's got business somewhere else when he's
cut, so off this fellow jroes. It is a curious
thing, too, that all the sharks about will
follow in the trail he leaves. I got on my
iiands and knees, and as he swam of I
noticed four dark shaddows slip after him.
I saw no more that time. They did not
[ike my company.
MUST MOT DO IT.
An American missionary among the
fellowstone Indians undertook to convince
hem that polygamy was wrong, une cmei
ombated the idea by saying :?
"Tell the priest [that ii he wishes to do
my thing- with my people, he must not tell
hem to put .away their wives. 1 have eight,
iil of whom X love, and who all have cliilireii
by me?which am I to keep and which
>ut away ? Tell those who have only one
vile not to take more; but do not talk
ibout putting- away wives already mailed."
This chief, however, injured the moral
orce of his remarks by going on to say
hat his eight wives could dress a hundred
jid lifty skins in the year?whereas, a
ingle wife could only dress ten, supposing
he were always well, and that such a lo.-a
i' property was not to be thought of. He
iso told the priest not to object to rum
l> inking, as the love of it formed part of
lie very nature of his people.

THE MOSQUITOES OP AliCTIC LAND.
In a work recently published in London
'?"The Land of the jS'orfh Wind, or Travel
' Among tho Laplanders and the Sainoyedea,"
!?the author, Edward Roe, gives the follow*
ing account of. the Arctic mosquitoes,
| which makes us almost content witli our
I own:

I abounded, flourished, luxuriated, surpassed
I himself, .out-mosquitoed Win sell', on llie
Kuloi River. We were at his mercy; our
veils, gauntlets, handkerchiefs, flapper, all
were a vanity and vexation. To kill was
wanton, l'or to destroy -sufficient v.*as impossible.
We had foreseen ;ill this, and
I even thought of taking, among other
things, a woodpecker, from home, to protect
our face while we slept; but oae woodpecker
would have been a solemn mockery;
we should have wanted a fresh woodpecker

| in order, and after three grievous plagues
?the corruption of the waters, the multitude
of frogs, and the swarms of lice?had
entirely failed. "We are becoming connoisseurs
in mosquitoes; we watch them
traverse our veils like ligures on slides in a
magic lantern. There is the yellow-striped
vampire mosquito, with a triple fang to his
proboscis; there is ihe brown, hunchback
or camel mosquito, with legs of gossamer,
who appeal's to our vindictive eyes to
be from two to three inches in length; finally,
there is the scorpion mosquito, very
searching and business like. We dislike
him greatly, for he wastes 110 lime. \Ye
know now that leather is a hollow delusion,
and armor-plated gaunllels are alone of
avail."
The Colorado beetle is so poisonous that
death has been caused in several instances
by handling them. They poison from contact
by crushing them between the thumb
and fingers or hands, from persons eating
without first carefully cleansing1 tne nanus
after handling' them, anil from inhaling the
steam arising from the vessel in which ihey
iire sometimes scalded.
Thk heaviest item of American manufacture
exported is that of our refined petroleum.
It foots up the sum of $37,1/00,000
annually.
At Bucl, tlie Utah mining camp, the]
do not waste words. Lately a fellov
known as "Frenchy,"' entered a restauranl
arid ordered some hot cakes. The cakes
were browrht out steaming hot, bu
"Frenchy" found a fly in one of them, am
flung the dish on the floor. The proprietor
J. D. Andrews, rushed into an adjoining
room, got a double barrelled shot gun, anc
mortally wounded the fastidious customer.
