NOT MUCH "SET BACK."-In every
bouHo in the land where the patter of lit?
tle feet is. heard and young voices awake
the echoes of home, there is one who, in
tho reproving, triumphant tones of the
elder Weller when speaking of "Sam?
my's'.' eldest, is "a great roguo-kn
awful child." Our doctor has just such a
three year old boy, who is as restless as
a squirrel, and always into somo mis?
chief. . Escaping into the street, a short
time ago, he joined a ragged orowd at
the oorner, who wero scraping on a sugar
hogshead that the grocer bud just
emptied. When found, bis condition
can be better imagined than described.
His clothes were begrimmed with dirt
and sugar, and he-looked as if be had
never seen water. When a family con?
sultation was'held, the doctor suggested
as a punishment that he should bo kept
in bed all tho next day. So whoa he
awoke in tho morning and got ap, his
mother said: "You have no clothes to
wear, Martin; you dirtied thom all yes?
terday, and must stay in bed to-day."
Sho confidently expected that ho would
bo completely conquered and melted to
tears at once, but iustend be sprung gaily
into bed, and drawing tho coveriug lip,
exclaimed, '\Aint bed a jolly place-it
will be flue lo lay hero all day. Bring
mo a good breakfast, ma!"
A servant girl, washing a pavement in

fat gentleman, and a police officer, who
arrested the girl and took her to tho sta?
tion bouse. The gentleman, who was
very much oxestod, started after thom,
but had gone but a short distance when
he fell dead in the street,
j A United States Judgo in Idaho, on
taking np a paper a short time since,
read the appointment of his successor.
He hastened to Washington to look into
the cause of his removal, when ho found
some kind friend bad forged his name lo
a letter of resignation, and an abusive
one at that.
On Thursley evening, at C.05, Sam
Oollyer, the well-known light weight,
left Richmond on foot for Petersburg, on
a wager of $200 that he could roach it in

winning the money.
While Senor Corroso, President of the

On Maroli 25th, Chili wan visited by

MINORITY REPROBATION.-Aa a cure
for^-mapy otrjthf: existing eyilewu^odir
Sbro'government,nbnoseerhs to present
a more practical remody thnn the system ;
of carnnlativo,.voting. Tho papera-of j
tho (State are dieouesing the plan, and
the chango is advocated, without a dis -
sentina-voice^ by the press cf both par?
ties, while so far as we are advised, the
Republican leaders, inolndicg Governor
Scott, givo tho proposed measure their
approval.
1 The attention of our people wan first
directed to tim subject by Colonel J, P.
Thomas, of Columbia, who delivered
before tho Litorary Society 0f Wofford
Collego a masterly address upon the
Bcicnce of government, a large portion
of which was devoted to a discussion of
proportional representation. Ho showed
that majority representation, or the
absolute rulo of the numerical majority,
fuils to fulfill the just requirements of a
proper representative system, and point?
ing out the various objections to ma?
jority representation, be indicated the
points in favor of the proposed reform,
which is styled proportional.
There are many schemes of propor?
tional representation, all of them having
tho sumo object; but that which seems
to meet with most favor is tho cumula?
tive plan, which bas been adopted in
Illinois, tbo working of which haB proved
satisfactory to nil parties. The plan is
simple; nud its practical operations,
where three or moro meu are to be elect?
ed to the samo position, may be easily
defined. In York County, which is en?
titled to four Representatives, it wonld
allow every voter to cast his ballot for
fcur persons if ho chose, and if not, then
ho might Cost thrco votes for ono candi?
dato and one for another; or, if he pre?
ferred, all four for the Bama individual.
Thus, using as a basis for our figures,
tho Presidential election of 1868, which
gives York County 2,000 white voters
and 1,600 colored voters, tho colored
voters, by uniting their strength upon
one man, could elect one Representative,
while the whites could eloct the remain?
ing three, and the delegation would ap?
proximately j represent all the people of
the Connty. Of course, where tho co?
lored voters have a majority they would
elect their candidates in the same pro?
portion; aud while the plan wonld not
deprive thom of a majority in the State,
it wonld prevent tho dangerous two
thirds majority, and provo effectual in
checking much reckless legislation.
It is coutended that the proposed
change can bo rando by the Legislature
enacting u law to that effect, without tho
ueccesity of amending the constitution
for thc purpose., Of this, however, we
are not satisfactorily 'informed; though
wo heartily approve of tho Scheme,
which is certainly the poly - plan pre?
sented for giving tho tax-payingminori ty
a representation in tho deliberations of
tho Legislature. - Yorkeille Enquirer.
THE ART OP BATING.-Prof. Blot de?
livered a lecture; in Cooper Institute,
New York, a few days ago, on "Sonps
and Fish." He said that the majority
of the coolia in this country do uot know
how to read and write, and cook books
were valueless to them. A great deal of
sickness was suffered ou account of bad
conking. Not enough attention was
paid by Americans to the art of cooking,
lie could starve a man on ten pounds of
beef per day, if be cooked it iu a cer?
tain manner. Dyspepsia was more pre?
valent ia this than in any other country,
because so little time was given here to
thu selection, preparation and eating of
food. A*great many people hero called
soups slops, and it was too often tho case
that they were slops, through being im?
properly mado. Sedentary people should
uot eat meat twico a day. Those given
to mental labor should eat flesh overy
other doy. Soup was properly tho first
course, becauso it sets ibo glands lo
work to preparo tho digestive functions
for the reception of the solid food which
follows. A man with n sungniuo tem?
perament should not ent tho samo kind
of food ns ono with a phlegmatic tem?
perament, nor should tho old and the
young, nor the malo and tho female.
Milk should enter largely into tho diet
of children, while broth was veritably
tho staff of lifo for the aged. Males
should cat moro meat limn females, and
the latter required more fruits and ve?
getables thnn the former. Tho people
in this country did not vary their diet
sufficiently. They ate too much meat
and not enough fish and vegetables.
Children should eat more fish and cheese
thou they do. Fish was an excellent
diet for brain winkers, on account of tho
quantity of phosphorus contained iii it.
lu thc brain of nu idiot there was only
ono per cent, of phosphorus, while in
tho brain Of au intelligent human being
there was two and a half per cent. Lob?
sters should never bo oaten after uoou,
as they took a very long time to digest.
Oysters should always bo eaton as soon
as cooked. Tho lecturer gave practical
expositions of thu art of making soups
and cooking tish.

DUCTORS.-A Ntiw York street railway is
trying to "spot" ita conductors by ma?
chinery. Tho step sinks when tho fpot
of a passenger is pluced upon it, and a
system of levers work a registering appc
ratna inside. Tho reason tho old thing
don't work worth a cent is told by nn
honest conductor: "You see that fellow
that jeBt got ou? Whon ho felt tho slop
hob under him, ho put his foot bock aud
tried it over again jest four timos.
Every timo he put his foot ou it tho
darned thing dotted oho for a passenger
rr five dots fur ono faro, yon soo. Ain't
thoro any way of beating it? You jest
bot thoro is, only I wouldn't do it.
When a crowd of women folkB get on, I
oon stand ono foot down OD the step and
help them into tho cor, ?o f could rush
ou a crowd of a dozen, nud only ono dot
for the lot."
There in a movement on fool in Phila?
delphia ta have soparato curs for ladies,
willi female conductors.
