Lines on a White Rose.
Oh! my belutiful rose so white,
My peerless virgin qeen.
Through Autumn's clouds a rift of light,
Thy royal beauty is seen.
Thy grateful fragrance cheers my heart,
And smiles to my lips does it bring,
Bids all shadows, all cares depart,
While joy bells sweetly ring.
Oh! precious rose of snowy white,
For me wilt thou ever bloom,
Till I sleep at last 'neath daises bright,
Then scatter thy leaves o'er my tomb.

To Breakfast Intelligently.
HOW THE FIENCHMAN, THE sCOTCH
IAN, THE ENGLISHMAN AND TIE
"YANKER" BREAKFASTS - THE
RULES OF PHYSICIANS AND TIE
HABITS OF GENIUS.
To breakfast intelligently may be
regarded as a duty, for a good break
fast is followed by good work and light
spirits, and. therefore, he who has
broken his night's fast in a rational
manyer becomes in proportion useful
and agreeable to his neighbors. There
are two distinctive methods of feeding
in the morning. They may be de.
fined as the English and the French.
The Englishman, whether in Britain
or America, or Australia, as a rule
breakfasts early and largely, deeming
it by no means an act of suicidal ten.
dencies to rise at 8 and dispatch a
beefsteak, washed down by a piut oi
tea at 9. The Scotch have the same
idea of breakfast in principle, but ap
ply it more generously, commence
with porridge, proceed to animal food,
and wind up with marmalade. Long
years ago Dr. Johnson's prejudiceE
against the Scottish race vanished at
the sight of a Scottishbreakfast. The
great lexicographer, as our awe-struct
ancestors liked to call him, did ample
justice- first -to-- the repast set before
him, and subsequently to his hosts.
The Yankee breakfasts much as his
cousin, though he has an uncomforta
ble tendency to add iced water to hi!
earlier not less than to his later meals
and to indulge in "milk-toast," at
abominable mess which tastes like
toast a day old which has by accideni
been dropped into hot water. It
San Francisco it is common to begir
breakfast with a plate of fruit, whic
is wonderfully appetizing on a bright
summer morning ; but after a cup o:
tea or coffee has gone the same way
as the fruit an alarming sense of dis
tension is produced, and there is oftet
a friend at hand to suggest an early
glass of curacoa as the one thing need
ful to set you to rights. Therefore,
man who has any business to transaci
would do well to keep peaches reso
lately apart from buttered toast and
its accompanying beverages. "At
English breakfast" are words whici
call up so many pleasant memories
and such a genuine picture of comn
fort, that one hesitates to stigmatiz
it as an utterly barbarous institution
And yet, in spite of the hissing urn
itself a companion, the paper leisurely
skimmed, the fresh morning toilets
one sometimes sees, and the pleasant
gossip-it is said that a man is nevel
conceited until after luncheon-time
in spite of these attractions, our most
national meal is a violation of all th<
rules of hygiene and common set:se
In the first place, the stomach is not
~prepared at that early hour for the
rude exercise to which we condemt
it; while, in the second place, the
mixture of tea and coffee and meat is
objectionable for two reasons. Phy
sicians have shown that the action -o
the tannic acid in tea upon meat is
such as to render it highly indigesti
ble, while coffee added to meat is
scarcely happier in its results. Il
may perhaps be urged that the Eng.
lish breakfast is not always taken im
mediately on rising, a good many per
sons being in the habit of getting ui:
at various unreasonable hours from 2
A. M. onward, and devoting the in
terval to work. Here again medical
science st.eps in and strongly dissuades
us from working on an empty sto
mach ; though one is bound to admit
that some excellent work has beer
done-notably Scott's novels, if not
his poems-before breakfast. But nc
rules can be laid down for the guiid
ance of ordinary mortals from the
habits of genius. Schiller would lock
himself up at night with a bottle o1
sparkling Rhine wine and compose
till the morning; but one would not
therefore be inclined to recommnend
all aspirants for poetic honors to pur.
sue a similar course, lest sleeplessness
and red eyes should indeed be appar.
ent, but another "Wailenstein" o1
"Maria Stuart" be found lacking. It
the matter of breakfasts the French~
have given the law .to Europe and the
Latin world, and had we been wise we
also should have been content to leart
of the "great nation." Our neigh
bors have long recognized the cardinal
truth that the stomach, on first awak
ing to consciousness and a sense oi
another day's troubles requires to be
comforted and stayed with gentle and
stimulating alimients ; hence the early
cup of coffee or chocolate with a mor
sel of bread, followed at an interval oi
three or four hours by the substantial
meal, which it then begins imperative
ly to demand. The second breakfast
is of course the equivalent of the Bri
tannic lunch, except that it seems,
somehow or other, to be a l'ghter and
brisker affair. The fact is that the
Briton who has taken a first solid
meal, in accordance with national cus
toms, has no need for lunch, which
somebody has described as an insult
to breakfast and an injury to dinner.
Though there can be no doubt as o:
the soundness of the French rule in
regard to breaking the night's fast

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Election.
We have not been able to get any
thing like a correct report of the vote
yesterday. There is good reason to
hLpe that the State has gone Demo
cratie. The day passed off very quiet
ly at the Court House ; no "lawless
ness and terrorism." Several kinds
of tickets were in the field; Tilden
and Hampton, Hayes and Chamber
lain, Hayes and Hampton, and a gene
ral mixed ticket. Many who have
heretofore voted the Republican tick
et came out yesteraay like men for
Hampton and the Democracy. Let
these men be remembered. They will
be remembered kindly and treated as
our friends. They have trusted us,
and they will see that their confidence
has not been misplaced. Some cases
of illegal voting were detected. It is
not proper that we should specify or
pass judgment upon them here; the
Court is the proper tribunal to decide
the matter, and we hope that the full
penalty of the law will be meted out
to the guilty parties there. We have
been informed that several negroes
from Laurens County voted at Jalapa.
No doubt there were many fraudulent
votes polled. All because the Radical
Legislature has failed to enact a regis
tration law, as the Constitution directs.
The news is necessarily indefinite
yet ; but what has been received is
decidedly hopeful.

(Conservative) 1,500, Spartanburg 2,
500, Union 500, York 100, Lancastei

INDANA.-As usual the Republicans
claim the Hoosier State, but there is no t
doubt that she has gone Democratic.
NEW Yi.-Democratic by about e
30,000.
At 12 o'clock. Gov. Randolph tele
graphed that Tilden was far ahead and t
that everything t-as promising. He
says that Tilden carries New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and
the "solid South," except South Caro
lina.
New York and Brooklyn give Tilden
71,000. Returns from Maryland show
Democratic gains. Pennsylvania will 3
likely go for Hayes. Tilden gains an c
increased vote in Ohio and gains on
the October vote in Indiana. Virginia i
goes 25,000 Democratic.
THE VERY LATEST!
Tilden's election is conceded by the r
New York Herald, the Tribune, the
World and the Sun.
Col. Haskell received the following
dispatch at 2 A. M.: -
NEW YORK, November 8.-Col. A. C.
Haskell, Columbia, S. C.:-I feel safe
in saying that your redemption is at
hand. New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut safe. A. S. HEWITT.
Indiana goes 10,000 Democratic and a
Ohio 10,000 Republican. f
I
Atter the Election Comes Busi- I
ness.
Now, that the election is over, we
will have more time for business. t
Muuh time has been. taken up in po- f
litical gatherings that would, under
ordinary circumstances, have been
given to work. And a feeling of un
certainty has unsettled and disorgan
ized business to a considerable extent.
W~e do not meani to say the time has
been wasted-not by any means.
Enough has been accomplished to re
pay us a hundred fold for all the time
that was lost, and the satisfaction of
having done all we could to get a good
govern ment is worth a great deal. Nor
do we think that any business inter
ests have been materially affected.
We return to day to our regular
daily, em ploymen:t with a feeling of
supreme relief that all the excitement ]
and uncertainties of the canvass are
over. No matter who the governor is
we poor people will have to come
down to the hardest kind of work for
a living. In the sweat of our~ brows
we must earn our bread. That is a
law that prevails under Democratic,
Republican, or any other kind of gov
ernment. Let us all then go to our 1
daily duties cheerful and hopeful. The
man who has honest employment that
will provide food and clothing for
himself and family is independent,
has all that is absolutely necessary,
and, we suppose, ought to be content. I
Work is noble-at l'ast, that is a very
philosophical and sensible view to
take of the matter when you cannot
help it. If Hampton has been elected 1
we have great reasop to rejoice. We
would still have to work hard, but our
labor would be worth far mnore to us
under a good and honest government.
If Chamberlain is elected we must
accept the situation, of course, and1
make the best of it we can. in either
event, lst all do what they can, pri
vately and publicly, to bring about the1
best state of affairs possible under the
circumstances.
The British Arctic Expedition.
The three ships sent out by the Brit
ish Government about a year and a half
ago in search .of the North Pole, have
returned. The expedition was fitted
out with great skill and at much ex- 1
pense. There is considerable disap
pointment expressed in the results of
the expedition. Though the explorers
went farther north than any of their
predecessors, they made no new nor
important discoveries. The highest
latitude reached was 83 degrees and
20 minutes. From that point no land
could be discovered farther north.
The route taken was through Smith's t
Sound. One hundred and twenty men
made up the party. Several attempts
have been ma~de of late years to reach
the North Pole. No doubt this will
be accomiplishied in the course of time.

The Journal of Commerce of No
ember the 1st gives sume interesting re
nd rather startling figures rogarding er
he colored race. Iu Jamaica and w
layti there is not now one-half the ta
opulation that existed at the time of w
mancipation there. A recent traveler ai
i Hayti says that at Port au Prince, ai
at of a population of 26,000, there w
,ere only eight married couples.
'his shows a most fearful state of ic
3orals that, added to disea.4e, smiall- 01
ox and rum, is fast diminishing the i
opulation. h
From the census of the Southcrn h
tates from '1840 to 1S70 we have %
he rate of increase in the colored v
opulatiou in these thirteen States %
very ten years. In the. first ten vi
ears the rate of increase was 33 per v
ent., in the second, 23 per cent., in u
he third, 5 per cout. Taking South tl
lroliua, we find the following figures: h
Phe colored population was in 1840, e
35,314; in 1850. 393,914; in 1860, s
12,320; in 1870, 415,814. The b
ate of increase between 1840 and
850 was 17 per cent.; the next ten
ears, 5; the next, less than 1 per
ent. h
It is not so surprising that in the
corant black republic of Hayti the
iopulation should diminish. And it
vill dimitish here till the negroes

ill he ever do that ? The prospect 1
s not promising. Take away what a
he negro knows about politics, and
ie is almost as ignorant as on the day
f his emancipation. And his general
urroundings and comforts are not
uperior-rather the opposite; his
Dod is not as good, nor his clothing
a
s warm, nor his shelter as secure d
rom cold. Yet he stubbornly and
>ersistently opposes every measure
Doking to the bettering of bis conai
ion, and delights in his ignorance and t
overty like a bat in darkness. If
hey would unite politically with their
riends and neighbors they might soon
lope to better their condition.
vampton's Day in Columbia.
The reception given to Gen. Hamp. o
on at Columbia Saturday was a b
plendid display, forming a fitting o
lose ot the State campaign. The
isplay of arches, evergreens, flowers,
md other paraphernalia was profuse
Lod tasteful. Between 6,000 and '
r,00 persons were present, who took
yart in the proceedings. The clesing
ords of Hampton's speech are so fine r

is quiet retreat on the shores of the
eautiful Mediterranean, stating his
iews on the situation in South Caro

-om his silly effusion: "The natural,
ideed, the inevitable consequence of
1e action of the Democratic party we
re now witnessing. A state of un
siness exists all over the State.
iolence and riot and bloodsheld are
frequent occurrence. The moderate
ien of six weeks ago are forced along

anger."

ie people of his native State. Mr.
luncan will do himself and his coun

We are indebted to Mr. Jno. W.
hapman for a copy of the Corn

876. The following has a familiar
ing: "Be it enacted by the King

A remarkable feature of the govern

nother remarkable feature is the

pot, and worse than all, obtrudes his
advice upon you. He also listens keenly
to any private conversation you may be

loose in the composing room and he is
worse than a bull in a china shop.

An Unanswerable Argumaent.
The strongest argument which can be urg
ed against the advisability of administering
such corrosive and nerve-destroying poisons
as arsenic and quinine for Intermittent and
remittent fevers, is the vastly superior success
in the prevention and cure of such diseases
of a medicine which Is the very antipode of
the above named drugs, bothb in respect of its
couposition and the results wrought by it.
Such a medicine is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, a purely vegetable preparation, which
not only eradicates with wonderful prompti
tude every trace of fever and ague, and kind- I
red types of malarious disease, from the sys
aem, but is a certain preventive of all mala
lies begotten of miasma-tainted air and wa
ter. These results mineral anti-febrile rome
ies do not effect with certainty, and their .
ontinued use entails consequences highly
ernicious to the system. The Bitters, on the
ontrary, not only afford speedy relief, but es- i
ablish health on a permaennit basis. 454 f
