by the Republican?. The Albany Argus (Demo?
crat) claim from 66 to 02 in the New York Assem?
bly. Later return? from Illinois are more favora?
ble to the Democrats. Nevada returns come in
slowly. The indication? are that the Democrats
have carried the State, except ihe Lieutenant
Governor and Congressman. The official vote is
required to decide positively the'Congressional
election.
Brown's majority in Missouri rubs forty thous?

Farnesworth telegraphs from Illinois that he ls
elected by 3000 majority.
MONTGOMERY. November ll.
About fifty-one counties heard from, and the

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.

THE STATE FAIR.
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.

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

It seems to us that the above would much better

who act with him. It ls, perhaps, too late to re?

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

though hardly powerful enough td lay the dust,
was enough to wet the hands or anv article, and

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?

that nos iver been witnessed, In thia part or the
world, and will doubtless afljrd abundant

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. Need we rerer our
readers to the historical poem concerning Vlo
lants in the .-pantry, gnawing of a i mutton
