Returns indicate that thc Conservatives elect the Lleutentrnt-Govercor and Congressmen, and have control of the Legislature. '' The Grand Result. The weU-informtd Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Suo. under date of Wednesday night, say-*: The returns received here of yesterday's elec? tions show sufficient Democratic gains'of Con-, pressmen to give the Democrats ninety-one-or two members In the House of the Forty-second: Congress, being an increase of nearly thirty over the present House. With the estimate of gains expected, but not yet received in the.returcs from Alabama, Arkausas and Tennessee,"Itls "thought this number will reach one hundred. Even if there- .should not be more -than: ninety members, they will destroy the obnoxious practice of the present House ' by which the Republicans, . by a 'two-thirds vote, have been able *o suspend the rules and pass ino ?ure? by the same vote without allowing .debate. Much vicious legislation has - been thus enacted by thc'dictum'of party rule.; The military election bill;-which has figured Bo* pro mi neatly, was passed by the House tn that way, lu defiance of the protestor the minority. There will. be, at least, no such cxhibtrlons of indecent ..haste lu legislation In the next Con? gress. lt ls chimed here to-day that the result of. the-detections will insure a Conservative organization of. the next House, by which the speaker, clerk, and the chairmanship or ilie lead? ing committees, can he secured. This, it is said, can be brought about by a coalition with the revenue reformers in the"Republican party elect? ed in the West. WASHINGTON AEEAIRS.

SECOND DAY OF THE EXHIBITION An Immense Gathering-The Ladies The Blooded Stock-Grout Display of Planting Implements-What oar Cor respondent Saw and Heard. [PROM OUR OWN CORRESI'ONDEXr.] COLUMBI.?, November 10. The second day of the State Fair is Just over, and lias been a complete success in every way. The gates opened at 9 o'clock this moraine, and for hours a continuous stream of visitors poured. through them into the grounds. The cool, brisk morning hid stirred the blood of all, and vehicles and foot passengers crowded along the avenues to the gates. Long before 12 o'clock the grounds were alive with a multitude which could not have been less than Ave thousand people, and the staging around the amphitheatre was one living mass of human beings up'to the top row. New bootha and new shows rose in all directions, and everything wore a busy, thriving look.. The ladies constituted a larger proportion of the visitors than In any assemblage of the kind we have yet seen, and if, perchance, there had been a tournament, the successful knight would have been sadly puzzled to choose a Queen of Love and Beauty among the numerous lovely women there. The amusements of the daycon> slsted principally in the exhibition of horses ia the ring, and a spienlid sight lt was a? they came our, glossy and beautifully groomed, from their stables. The display or thorough-bred stock was magnificent, and comprised all i lie most celebra? ted horses in the State. Riding and driving, In single and double harness, followed each other alternately throughout the day, as the stock of different ages and sex were brought forward for exhibition, and. Judging from the unabated crowd or spectators, a lively Interest in the scene was maintained during the whole time. One thoroughbred stallion was so sleek and round that the saddle could not be kept on his back In riding, and two different riders experienced igno? minious falls in ihe. ring amid the shouts and. laughter or the spectators. . , Being determined to enter the building, not? withstanding the crowd, we were compelled flrst to meke the circuit of ir, and, in doing so, came across a bsautiful little poi table engine,-getting up t team to drive the machinery, lt is exhibited by the maker. R. Tozer, of "Columbia, and was drawn to the fair grounds by two horses. Effect? ing an entrance Into the hardware department, we proceeded to examine the articles on exhi? bition, more closely than on the preceding; day. Messrs. J. E. Adger A Co. are well represented In the show, aud are, we believe, the only hardware Arm in competition from Charleston. All of their articles have taken premiums at the Charleston fair, and amoug them the following are conspicu? ous: Ford's excelsior cultivator or shell plough, for one horse, nnd his gang plough, for two horses, both of wide repute and giving universal satis ? faction; Bickford A Huffinan's grain drill, with attachment for guano; Leed's champion post-hole digger; Hie celebrated "Watt ploughs, and various gin?, sweeps, ploughs and fodder cutters, too nu? merous to mention. Messrs. L?rick A Lowrance, of Columtia, have alsoa large lot of agricultural implen.tm ts and other hardware on exhibition, and the Southern corn-sheller, made by Charles Palmer, of Virginia, the Eureka smut and separating machine, from New York, and a large and varied stock or ploughs and harrows, are among their principal articles. The Taylor cotton gin, exhibited also by this firm, attracted much notice. The cotton gins formed a department by them? selves large and very attractive to thc planters present, who examined the Emory's condensing cotton gin, thc Taylor gin, the Simpson cotton gin, from Chester, S. C.; McCrelghfs saw gin, from Fairfield, S. C.; the Alabama gin or Dubois A Co., and a tine serviceable looking gin made and exhibited by E. Morris, of Columbia, S. 0. The two latter were hard at work, very similar ia their operations to the Gullett gin In the Charles? ton Fair, and giving great satisfaction in their performance. We also noticed the familiar cotton seed huller o? Mr. Shaw, exhibited by Broille A Co., of your city, hard at work, and creating much astonish? ment at its wonderful performance. McCrelghfs reverse grist mill, a huge combination horse power thresher and gleaner, exhibited by L?rick A Lowrance, and a lot of lrou works and fencing, by Goldsmith A Kind, of Columbia, S. C., comple? ted our survey in this quarter. The buggies and carriages, exhibited by Fowler, Foster A Co-, and Carrol A Sneiman, are hand? some affairs, and the neat sashes, blinds and wood moulding from the shop of F. W. Wing, of Columbia, deserve encouragement. Near these is a wonderful little gas stove for cooking, and neat enough fur a parlor. It is called the Gasseline, and ls made and exhibited by S. Sheridan, of Columbia, S. C. At the time we saw lt, dinner, consisting of a loaf of bread, some biscuits and a piece of roast veal, had just been prepared on lt, and, declining an invitation to dine, we were told by the proprietor that he could cook three meals a day for a good-sized family with only nine cents worth or ga?. We recovered from oar astonishment at this disclosure while inspecting a large quantity of ice in blocks, and learned from John C. Seegers that he made it by steam in Columbia. It Is clear, thick and hard, and it ls turned out at the factory at the rate or four hundred pounds per hour. Turning to something warmer wc saw several bales of wool, and about a dozen cotton stalks bearing an incredible number of bolls, exhibited by David Dickson, of Georgia, and N. Pope. R. Vance also exhibits a stalk, which he modest'y calls a small one, and we have no doubt he would I.ke to make a small crop In proportion. The display of domestic fowls ls varied and ex? tensive, and the Aylesbury and Rouen ducks, white Guinea fowls, mongrel and Muscovy ducks, game chickens aud other fancy breed of fowls, deserve a more minute description than we had time to give them. Those exhibited by Hey ward Green anil Mrs.. J. M. Crawford are particularly fine. The display of domestic wines, whose quality we have previously criticised, did not tempt us on our second tour or Inspection, and we passed on to the adjoining exhibition of domestic produc? The pumpkins, potatoes, turnips and tauyas were all of fabulous size, and the corn, oats, wheat and rye or a weight and quality to do a farmer's heart good. The cakes or pressed cotton, exhibited in this department by the Columbia OU Company, created quite a sensation. Pressing up along with the crowd we slowly mounted the stairs, and not being able to see much else, we commenced examining the pic? tures hung along the walls. The sketches by Miss E. Orchard are conspicuous nnong these Tor their expression and"beautiful execution, and " The Rustic Flute " 6truck us as being particularly good. Among the oil paintings ia another quarter a wild cottage scene, by Miss Kate Crawford, de? servedly atiracted much notice and admiration. The display of ladles1 work such as embroidery, laces, cloaks, Aa, ls entirely beyond our time and powers, from its variety and extent. Among them is a hands imo showcase containing the premiums to be awarded by the fair, consisting-of medals, gnblets, spoons, knives, and other articles, all of silver, and made at the store of W. G. WUllden A Co, of t harleston. A Masonic jewel of solid gold, beautifully wrought and engraved at the 3ame es? tablishment, ls the handsomest thing or the sort we have ever seen. It ts io be presented to R. S. Bruns, Esq. Before we could finish here the afternoon was nearly gone, and we left for the races outside. Several races were run, in one of which a quarter race, Mr. Bulow, of Charleston, was winner of the purse, and a half-mile race was started when an untoward accident occurred. Mr. Bowie was riding his gray horse in the race, and when at full ' speed near the end of the race ran Into a buggy partially on the track. The buggy was smashed np; the ho a : badly cut, and Mr" Howie was thrown some distance over the horse and buggy, and was tak-n up senseless. A large crowd rushed to the spot, doctor? were summoned, a wagon was procured, and Mr. Howie placed therein. To the astonishment of every one, before the wagon had gone any distance, Mr. Howie umped out and refused to be considered hors de combat. The announcement, soon afterward, that there would be no more racing, accelera?ed the dispersion of the crowd, andas the sun went down, the building was closed, the gates w?re 9hut, and the second day of the fair ended, w. Third Day. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, NOT ember ll. .. The fair to-day was again a complete suc? cess, there being about six thousand visitors on thc grounds. The performance consisted princi? pally or exhibitions Of fine stock, which lasted" until 2 P. M. The remainder or ihe day was oc? cupied with the distribution or premiums, an d so ended the State Fair roc 1S7,0. There were severa1 quarter races and trottlng'matches in thc after? noon, but n'o fast time, was inside. The Survivors' Association have re-elected their old bracers. Great preparations are going on ror the bali or the South Carolina Club, which comes off to-night. A numerous assemblage from all parts or the State 19 expected. . w. TBE Eisa ON ITS KNEES. That Thanksgiving Proclamation-'A New aud Improved Draft of the. Docu? ment C?Tered to Governor Scott, Free of Ch urge. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.. Governor Scott has issued a proclamation calling upoa the people to observe the 24th Inst as a day. or thanksgiving for various blessings' which the State has enjoyed during the year about drawing to a d?se. The official document was not drafted, proba? bly, by his Excellency, himself. Inasmuch as lt. bears marks of a disregard for those beauties bf composition, and that grammatical correctness, for which his Excellency's oral and written p?o ductlons are so well known. If we had been engage 1 to write a Thanksgiv? ing proel-.ma-lon ror Governor Scott,'we should hare made lt read somewhat in this way : The year ls drawing to a close; lt has been crowned by an overruling Providence with many blessings. The earth has brought forth her rrul?s, In abundance; health has been prevalent.within, our borders; we have been preserved from perin and pestilence; most of in J administrators of the laws have made an extremely nrofltabl? thing of. lt; pome have obtained rewards exceeding those' obtained by any honest Industry; no troublesome committees of In vestlgAtlon have been Invoked to' scrutinize public expandir?n s. No want or har? mony has developed itself among that mtle "King" or Mate ortlclalJwho have kindly under? taken the care of the public money. All ls peace In the State Government. The various boards of county commissioners havs been entirely-rree to disburse the money or the counties os seemed best to them, and no grand. Jury has yet succeed? ed In procuring Indictments against them. The "trial Justices" have been -enabled to earn very large lees, and stirred up a; large amounter liti? gation with which the people would navet have been blessed but for their benizn endeavors. The ?tate constable and his deputes have not yet succeeded In so far ontrazlng private rights as to seriously endanger their precious lives. The militia has been enabled to do so good service that the Governor has felt authorized to take away their arms. The speculators of the "land commission" have not been so far exposed as to frighten them uway from the carcasson . which they have fattened. The Ignormt rnas-es have thus far been heal in control by the Ring, despite the warnings or an Intelligent and honest minority. We have succeeded lu depriving most of the honest members ot thc dominant political party of all Influence in the government of the state, and the prospect ls that in another year or the present State administration, we can drive away from lt what, few honawc men there ard con? nected ??Mi lt. lt has been*-vouchsafed to the Governor to appoint such commissioners or elec? tion In the various countless and to the commis? sioners to appoint such managers or election at the various pods, as to forbid the possibility or ihe overturn or the present excellent State administration by the popular vote, even though there should happen to be a few thousand majority ia favor or such a course. And the managers and commissioners or election have generally been alive to the demand made upon them by enlightened civilization, and have counted on the sloe or that purity and integrity, which have so distinguished the present State administration, as mauy votes as were necessary to Insure the continuance or Its beneficent rule. The people of the State have abundant reason to be thankful, therefore, not only Tor their past political blessings and privileges, secured and pro* tee ted by the Govei nor. the -State constable and his deputies, the "trial justices." and the militia, but also, prospectively, tor mmy more blessings of the same sort. In consideration or these and many other causes or thankfulness to an overruling Providence, I, Robert K. Scott, Governor of tho State or South Carolina, do respect fully recommend to the people of this Commonwealth, that they shall observe Thursday. November 24th, as a day of public Thanksgiving, npon wnlch, laying aside all secu? lar pursuits, they sh ill gather In meir respective places of public worship, and return all the thanks they can for the abondant blessings and privi? leges they have enjoyed in the past year, to that power from which they think they c >me. And 1 fnrther suggest, that, ir me clergy gene? rally, who may not be rudy alive to the value or the privileges and blessings herein enumerated, do not feel willing to lend the people in returning thanks therefor. Rev. Brothers Whlttemore, Don? aldson and Cain-all of whom have abundant proof of the substantial blessings or the Sta'e and National Governments-will not be found wanting on thc occasion. Given under my hand and the great acal of the State, at Columbia, this 8th day of November, in the year of our I/>M, one thousand eight hundred and seventy. ROBERT h.. SCOTT, Governor. F. L. CARDOZO, Secretary or State. It seems to us that the above would much better express the real views or the Governor and those who act with him. It ls, perhaps, too late to re? call lils lateproclamatlon, but we offer the above amendment as one likely to meet a more general response than that appeal already issued. A CITIZEN. A MOBILE SENSATION. j The Rain Falls for Five Day?, In Clear Weather, on a Group of Graves, and Nowhere Else.., [From the Mobile Reglstsr, November 3 ] For several days there have been mysterious and vague rumors ol a most remarkaiie METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENON ont at the Catholic graveyard on Stone street above the Three-Mlle creek. It 19 asserted by those who say they have seen lt, that ror the last Ave days a gentle shower has rallen continuously on thelot of the Lemolne family, in which are j buried Mr. Victor Lemolne and many others of his famllv. wp h a view of getting at the facts of this most extraordinary affair, we had last night an Interview with Mr. Louis B. Lemolne. em? ployed ut Asa Holt's, a son of the deceased Victor j Lemoine, who died in 1851, who related the fol? lowing STARTLING PARTICULARS. "Bavins heard that lt was reported it had been raining for several dava ou the enclosed ground which forms my family burying ground in the Cathou -burying ground on Stone street, above the Three Mile Creek. I drove out there last even lng to satisfy myself, and to my iutense aston? ishment I saw tiiat A COLUMN OF RAIN was coming down without ceasing, which al? though hardly powerful enough td lay the dust, was enough to wet the hands or anv article, and ot limes lt rained quite hard. Thc volume or rain fel inside of thc enclosure and nowhere else, as the weather was, and lins been, bright and clear all the um-J DURING TOE FIVE DATS the rain has been railing on these graves. There are thirteen or my fa-i.ily burled in the lot of ground upon which lt. has heeu raining. My motlier, brother and sisters visited the spot yes terdayand the day before to satisfy themselves about the truth of this matter, and declare that they, too, saw this wonderful phenomenon. It has also been SEEN BY OVER TWO BTXDREO PERSONS. "I took a friend with me when I visited the spot, who also saw the rain falling as d-iscrlbed. Mr. John Rottet, the keeper of the cemetery, told me that, the rain had commenced rahing In heavy drops about five days ago. 1 am wining to take my oath as to the truth or this statement." SO INCREDIBLE did this extraordinary affair seem, that those who saw lt several days ago refrained from stating or asserilug what they had seen, for fear that not only j their veracity, but their sanity would be question ed, and it '-as only nntil a number of gentlemen of the flm respectability had seen and reported the result of their personal observations, any credence was attached to the trnth of the matter. Take lt altogether, lt is certainly the most as? toundlng and miraculous atmospheric wonder that nos iver been witnessed, In thia part or the world, and will doubtless afljrd abundant FOOD FOR' THOUGHT, . research and obs?rvatlon, not only among pclen tlilc men, but among all classes. There are so many who vouch for the truth of Mr. Lemolue's statement, and his character for ."veracity isBuch; that there can no longer be any doubt of the fact that lt has been raining for the past Ave days on the graves of his kindred. SATAN REBUKING 8IN. [From1 he New York Sunday Ncw?, Nov..a] The Radical cry of "Down with election fraud''Is much like that of tho pickpocket who cries "Stop 'thief !" Their 'party; within the few years of Its existence, has done more to depre? ciate the elective franchise than all other political organizations since the birth of the Republic. AU that treachery, cunning and .violence can do hos been done by them to dereat theintentlon of the b?llot-box, and to render our whole elective sys" terna mockery; worthless,except to assist am? bition in stea iog Its way to usurpation. They have succeeded in destroying the virtue of the franchise In the South, and are now bold enough to attempt th- same crime in the North. But the true and staunch Democracy of New York, too strong to fear .violence, too wary to be tricked; will demonstrate that thc outrages which make South Carolina a serfdom to-day are not practica? ble here.- . . If the honor and safety or our country were not Involved, lt would be ludlorous to witness the affected zeal of these partisans for. the purity of a franchise that they have tram pi. d under the Iron heel cf despotism, wherever they could and the spirit of the people sufficiently broken by misfor? tune to renderrrsi'tanco impossible. None know better than themselves, that a fair-and free elec? tion wonld proclaim South Carolina Democratic, bot Radial intrigue and oppression have stifled the popular voice.-and the ballotrboxes of that State, manipulated by unscrupulous agents of-the Federal Government, are made to ut ter whatever falsehoods are most convenient for the purposes of the party. . ..' -J Our New york Democrats will remember,- on Tuesday nexr, that they are battling for political supremacy within their own state. Millions of free-bom Americans, helpless against Radical tyranny, are waiting, with anxiety and hope com? bined, the verdict ? r that day. Bach Democ ratic voter's pride, and plea-ure, In the exercise of his franchise, will be enhanced by the consciousness that his vote furn ls a double errand-helping to' achieve a Democratic victory li^-re, and helping to strike the chains from his brothers In the South. SAVAGE MAN. The Untamed Races-Man as He Emerges from the Condition of an An? imal-Curiong Marriage Customs. ; One of the most Interesting new books of the day is^'The-Origlh of Civilization and the Prlnri tiveTtonrtltlon of Man," by Slr John Lubbock.' (D. Appleton A Co.) The author Isa distinguished member of Parlia? ment, vice-president of the EngUsh Ethnological Society, and the author of "Prehistoric Times"! and other valuable works. His object in the pres-" eut volume ls to describe the social and mental condition of savages,.their art, their system of marriage and of relationship, their religions, language, moral character and laws. Be has fuund, in studying the lower races of men as they now exist on the globs, that they illustrate in many ways, though noe in alt, the condition and' habits or our own ancestors In a period long {tone by, and a's J explain many customs of civil zed men which evidently have no rel tlon to pre? sent circumstances, and even some I dna? which are rooted in our minds as fossils are imbedded In the soil. But though our information with reference to the social and moral condition of the lower races of man ls very considerab e, lt ls certainly very far-from being satisfactory either in extent o . ac? curacy. Travellers neurally Cud it far easier to describe the houses, boats, food, dress;.weapons and implements of savages than to understand tuelr thoughts and feelings. The whole mental condition of a savage is so diff?rent from oura that-u U.oftea yiry dimealt to follow wbat ls passing In his mino, or to understand the motives by which he ls Influenced. Many things appear natural and almost self-evident to him which pro? duce a very d ni?rent impression on us. "What l" said a negro to Bnrton, "am I to starve while my sister has children whom she can selly" Again, the mind of the savage, like that of the child, ls easily fatigued, and he will often give random answers to spare, himself the trouble of thought. Many race*. Indeed, seem to he little ?superior to beasts la intelligence. In the Interior of Borneo there are tribes who Uve absolutely In a state of nature. Tney neither cultivate the ground nor live In huts; neither eat rice nor salt, and do not associate with each other, but rove bout the woods like wild beasts; the sexes meet in the Jungle, or the m.m carries awa~ a woman from ncr abode. Wnen the children arc old enough to shift for themselves, they generally separate, neither one afterwards thinking of the other; nt night they sleep under some large tree, the branches of which hang low. On these they fasten the children in a kind of swing. Around the tree they make a lire to keep off the wild beasts and snakes; they cover themselves with a piece .of bark, and in this, also, they wrap their children; it ls soft and warm, but will not keep out t he rain. The poor creatures are looked upon and treated by the other Borucans as wild beasts. Lichtenstein thus describes a Bushman : "One of our present guests, who appeared about fifty years of age, who had gray nair and a bristly beard, whose forehead, nose, cheeks and chin were all smeared ovr with black grease, having only a white circle around the eye washed clean with the tears occasioned by smoking-this man had the true physiognomy of the small blue ape of Caffraria. What gives the more verity to such a comparison was the vivacity of lils eyes, and the flexlblUty of his eyebrows, which he worked up and down with every change of countenanoe. Even hts nostrils, and the corners of his mouth, nay, his very ears, moved invol? untarily, expressing his hasiy transitions from eager desire to watchful distrust. There was not. on (he contrary, a single leature lo his coun? tenance that evinced a consciousness of mental powers, or anything that denoted emotions or the mind of a milder species than what belong to a man in hil mere animal nature. When a piece of meat was given him, and half rising he stretched out adtstiustful arm totake lt, he snatched lt bas? ti : 7, and stuck lt immediately into the fire, peer? ing around with his little keon eyes as If fearing lest some one should take lt away again. All this was done with such lojkx and gestures, that any one must have been ready to swear he had taken the example of them entirely from an ap?.'? One very remarkable characteristic or savage life is the existence of certain ideas and customs, apparently fantastic and unreasonable, which are yet almost universal and prevail among races the most distant and distinct from each other. One ' f these singular notions isthat which for? bids a woman to speak to her son-in-law. Slr John Franklin, in his "Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea," tells us that among the Indians ol the far north, lt ls considered extremely im? proper for a mother-in-law to speak or even look al lier daughter's husband; and when she has a communication to make to him, lt ls the eti? quette that she should turn her back upon him and address him only through the me? dium or a third person. Further south among the Omahas, neither the father-in-law nor mother in-law will hold any direct communi? cation with their son-in-law; nor will he, on any occasion, or under any consideration, converse Immediately with them, although no ni-win exists between them. They will n?, on any account, mention each other's names In company, noa look in each other's faces. Auy conversation that passes between them ls conducted through the medium of some other person The same custom prevailed among the North American In dtans general'}', among Hie Cnribs of the West Iu dles, and among the Arawaks and other tribes of South America. lu Asia, aiming the M-mgnls and Calmnck-?, a woman must not speak u her father-in-law, nor sit down in lils presence. The same rule prevails among the Ostia ks or Siberia, and also among the Samovedes, the most non hern of savage tribes. With them, however, the rule ls relaxed after the | wife hus given bin li to a child. In Chin?, the father-in-law, afrer the wedding day, i ever sees thc race of his daughter-in-law, never visits her, and if they chance to meet he hides himself. A similar CIIMOIU prevails in Bor? neo, and In the Feejee Islands. Among the abo? riginal Australians, a man must uot pronounce the name of his father-in law, his motlier In-law, or lils ann-ln-law. ! Another curlnus custom very widely spread is that bv which on the birth or a baby the father and not the inc her is pur to bed and nursed like a sick person fer several weeks. This custom was ' almost universal among thc Indians or South America. Dobritzlioffer, the old Jesuit missionary to Paraguny, tells us that "no sooner do you hear tba' a woman has borne a child than you see the husband lying in bed, huddled up with mats and skins, lest some ruder breath of air should touuh him, rasing, kept in private, and for a number of days abstaining religiously from certain viands; yon woul l swear it was he who had had the child. I had read about this tn old limes, and laughed at lt, never thinking I could believe such madness, and I user! to suspect that this barbarian custom was rela'cd more lu Jest than in earnest; but at last I saw lt with my own eyes among the Abi? pones." Brett, in his acconntof the Indian tribes of Guiana, says he saw a man whose wife bad lately been deUvered, lying la a hammock, wrapped up as.. ir. he were sick, though really, in the mo't ro? bust health, aaa carefully nursed by women, while the mother of the h?w born infant was engaged lo cooking and other work about the hut. Traces or this onBtom are found in Greenland,' where, arter a woman ls confined, the husband ranst forbear working for some weeks; and la Kamschatka, where for sometime before the birth of a baby the husband must do no hard work. Similar notions are found among the Chinese, among the Dyaks of Borneo, and what ls still stranger ls that they exist to this day In Corsica, In the north or Spain, and In the south of France, where the custom is calle J faire le couvade. Max Muller, in his "Chips from a German Workshop," tries to account for lt thus': "It is clear that-the poor husband wat at fl rat ty randed over by his female relations, andrafterward frightened lui?. superstition. He then began'to makeamartyr er himself till he made himself really ill, or took to bis bed In sel f-defence. Strange and absurd as tha.couwzde appears at drat sight, there is some? thing in lt wltti which, we believe, most mothers in-.aw can sympathize.9' ' Slr John Lubbock, how? ever, prefers tb accept the Carib and Ablpohe explanation, which ls, that they believe .the infant would be Injured in some way if th? father en? gaged In any roogh'work or was careless of his dler. ii ? ? . ? .;: r- ?j . With regard to the strange conduct toward mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law, which we have described as: existing so widely among Savages, Slr John Lubbock, In his very curious and entertaining chapter on "Marriage and Re? lationship," gives a plausible explanation of thc mystery. The lowest races- have no Institution of mar? riage; true love ls almost unknown among them; and marriage, In its lowest phases, ls by no means a matter of affection and companionship. Thc Hottentots, says Kolben-, "are so cold and in? different to one another .that you would think there was no such thing as love between them." Among the Koussa Kaffirs, Lichtenstein asserts that there ls "nu feeling of love In marriage." In North America, theTinneIndians had no word for "dear", or "beloved;" and the Algonquin. lan? guage ls stated to have contained no verb meaning ."to love;" so that wben the Bible was translated by the missionaries into that language, lt was necessary, to invent a. word for the purpose. .. ? In India, the hill tribes of Chittagong, says Cap? tain Lewin, regard marriage as a mere animal and convenient connection-as the meaus or get? ting their dinner cooked. ! They have no Idea of tenderness nor of chlv-tlrous devotion. ! Amomr-' the heathen Indians or Paraguay the .bonds of matrimony are so very slight, that when the nar-, ties do noi like each other they separate without further ceremony. In other respects they do not appear.to haye the most distant notions of that bashfulness so natural to the rest bf mankind. : In very ancient times, when the whole human" race was in a savage condition, marriage was un? known and women were common property. Bachofen and McLennan, the two most recent au? thors who have studied this subject, bJtn agree that the primitive condit on or man socially was that ol communism, where, as at Oneida, every man and woman in a 'small community were re? garded as equBlly married to one another. The seme view Ls entertained by an American writer, Mr. Lewis 1'. Morgan, or Koch ea ter, who has made the primitive condition ol man a.special Ftudy ror many years, and' whose chief work cn the fubject, embracing the most- extensive resear. hos, is now in course, of publica? tion by thc Smithsonian,. Institution. .SlrJohn Lubbock, "without h?ving access to MT. Moiv gan's investigations, except to a very limited extent, has reached similar conclusions. He re? gards communal marriage, In which women were common to the whole tribe, as the first stage of human society, individual marriage, he thinks, arose from captives In war. It Is obvious, he says, that even under communal marriage a war rb ir who had captured a beautiful girl lh some marauding expedition would claim a peculiar -right to her. and, when possible, would set cus "totnat defiance. It ls' true that, under a com? munal system, no man could appropriate a girl entirely to himself without Infringing ihe rights of the whole tribe. Such an act would naturally be looked on with Jealousy, and only regarded as Justifiable under peculiar cir? cumstances. A war captive, however, was in a peculiar position: the tribe had no right to her; her captor might have killed her If he chose; If he preferred to keep her alive, he was at liberty todo so; ho did as he liked, and the tribe was no suffer? er. Thus arose Individual marriage, which In any other way. would have been an infringement of communal rights sure to be resisted. Even m ! 'our own day among the Andamanera, any woman who attempted to refuse the marital privileges claimed by any .member, of tue-tribe was liable to severe punishment. Slr John Lubbock maintained that the origin ot marriage ls Independent or all sacred and social considerations; that lt had nothlHg to do with mutual affection or consent; that lt waa lnvali dated by any appearance or consent, and that lt arose not from affection or tenderness, but by brutal violence and unwilling submission. TB all parts of ihe world, in all ages, and even among many tribes at the present day, the evidence ls overwhelming that; wives were procured by force and by capture from uiber tribes. And arter actual hostilities had ceased, and marriage In its present form had been instituted, the ceremony was kept up of capturing, or pretending to cap-1 tare, the bride. This ts the case among nearly ali the aboriginal races or Hindost?n, among the wild tribes or the Malay peninsula, among the Calmucks, the Mongols, and finally among a great number or Soutn American tribes. It pre? vails also In some of the islands or Polynesia, and in various parts or Africa. In Clrcassla, to thLs day, an Important part of the mamase ceremony cunsl-ts In the rushing In of the bridegroom, atteuded by a number of young men, who carry off the bride by force. Plu? tarch tens us that in Sparta the bridegroom usually carried off his bride by force-as a mere ceremony, however. The Romans had a very similar custom. And In some parts of France, doivn lo the .seventeenth century, lt was custom? ary for the bride to feign reluctance to enter the bridegroom's house. Io Poland, Russia, and parts of Prussia, young men used to carry off their sweethearts by force, and then apply to the pa? rents f-r their oonsent. The fact ls, that marriage by captare, either as a stern reality or as an important ceremony, pre? vails In Australia and among the Malays, In Hindost?n, Central Asia, Siberia and Kamscnatka among the Esquimaux, the Northern Indians, the aborigines of Brazil, Chill and Terra del Fuego; In the Pacific Islands, both among the Polynesians and the Feejeeans, in the Philllpines, among the Arabs and Negroes, In Oircassla, and, until recent? ly, prevailed throughout a great part of Europe. The custom of Ifftlog the bride over the door? step, which we Had In such distant and different races ns the Romans, the Canadian Indians, the chinese and the Abysslniaus, had doubtless the same origin. Hence also, perhaps our honey? moon, during which the bridegroom keep: bis bride away from her friends and relatives; hence even, perhaps, as Mr. McLennan supposes, the slipper ls In mock anger thrown after the depart? ing bride and bridegroom. The curious custom wnlch forbids thc father and mother-in-law to speak to their son-in-law, and vice versa, which we ha v.- shown above to be very widely distributed, but for which no satis? factory explanation has yet been given, seems to be a natural cons?quence of marriage by capture. When the captare was a reality, the Indignation of the parents would also be real; when it became a mere symbol, the parental anger would be sym? bolized also, and weald be continued even after Its origin was forgotten. FALLACIES RESPECTING WOMEN. [From the Court Circular.] The cultivation of respec: and courtesy to? wards our fair betrayers ts to be most highly commended and enforced, but we claim In this article to assault certain feeble prejudices In favor of women, which have their foundation upon romantic rigmarole. For Instance, where ls there a greater fallacy than In the belief that women weigh nothing ? Vet In romance, even of tliis modern day, we read constantly of heroes magnanimously rushing off with f-tinting maidens from blazing houses, or more feloniously "cart? ing" them on to their shoulders for purposes of revengeful abduction. Let any one out of train? ing, or under six feet of height and with propor? tionate strength, attempt to run away with a fairly well-composed girl of eighteen or twenty, and give us his opinion of the prowess or these vaunted knights. A woman weighing one hun? dred and forty pounds, and every ounce dead weight, is not to be chocked over one's arm and carried off in the smoke; and a hundred and lorty pounds weight or kicking woman? hood is not to be carried at all. Even a slight girl will weigh a Hundred pounds, and Rudolph or Horatio will stagger under her lovely but cum? bersome figure ir he break out of a staccato walk. There are plenty i f buxom girls who weigh up to a hundred ami seventy pounds, and lt is not given to every mun to "hurry off" with such a bag? gage. When the victimize I Squalllna faints on the singe, the robust baritone lukes care that the ?panouissement shall oe accomplished as close to Hie wing as possible. He Knows what La Squalllna weighs by tho sad experience of re? hearsals. Let any or our readers carry his sister (he will probably prerer his cousin, up three flights or stairs without stopping, and forward to us his sentiments on the occasion. Women weigh a good many pounds nowadays, and their airiness of fabrication ls a fallacy. Another popular belief I- that women eat no? thing. It ls, of course, conceded that they sus? tain life by the consumption of some article of nourishment, but eating, in the wholesale accep? tation or the word, ls supposed to be foreign to fe? male nature. This lallacy 19 rounded and sus? tained by women themselves, who, during"the. affected period or their lives, cultivate small ap? petites as being comme il faut and a sign of semi-angelic construction. When this pernicious nonsense ls conscientiously carried out; the re? sults upon the would be angels are squalor, red noses, certain loss of vigor, general limpness, and some ot her unpleasant sequela:. But, BS a rule, the smallest appetites at the fashionable tables are exhibited by those shrewd girls whose natural and healthy wants have - been thoroughly ap- : petted by Beeret stuffing.
