A NEW IDEA. What is One ot the Greatest Curses of This Intellectual Age. From Hearth and UIme. One of the greatest curses of this intellectual age is the great lack c' p.oper education of our girls in the practical affairs of every-day life. They all want to be "schoolmarms'. gov ernesses or the wives of rich men. Household work. which shoul form the basic principle of our econolic life, is shunned by them as somIething degrading. A young wonitii will stand behind a dry goods counter tour teen hours a day for a mere pittance-not enough to clothe her-lose her health, become aremic aud unfitted for the performanee of her natural duties, rather than accept a position a! a domestic. where she would have a comfortable horie, good health and become properly fitted for the duties of a wife and mother. The ranks of the unfortunate are filled with shop girls, who, having no place to spend their evenings, seek the parks and beer gardens, where young men, as it were, lie in wait for them as their natural prey. low many young women can trace their downfall to this misplacement of tieir talents? Good domestics and wives who are good cooks are so rare that when one is found she is worth her weight in gold. We have schools in which our girls are taught cooking, embroidery, music, painting, school teaching, the lan guages, but positively not one in which is taught the art of house-keep ing. Why? Simply because of the prejudice against it. Yet all girls desire to get married, which is very easy to do, but it is very, very diffi cult to live happily in marriage; and where the wife has no knowledge of the art of housekeeping, domestic economy, or is a poor cook. be her husband as rich as Croesuss _r lot will be miserable. Such a woman is totally incompetent to be a wife: her proper place is in some garret "singing the song of the shirt." While a man admires womanly beauty, yet in mar ried life he admires much more a good square meal, cooked by the hands of his wife or under her immediate direc tions. What we mean by a good square meal is not simply roast beef and potatoes, with a piece of indiges tible pie and a cup of ordinary cottee, but a table co-ed with snow-white linen, the chi id glassware shin ing like so main miniature mirrors, with bouquets of fresh blooming flow ers in season, and napkins soft and fresh from the laundry, not stif' as pasteboard, so that they will slide from your knees. These preparations cost btut a trifle and are the invariable precursor of a good appetite. No dish should be served undecorated, the fish and meat should be surrounded with small pieces of either parsley or beets, carrots or turnips cut by molds into various knick-kuack devices, not so much for eating as for ornamenta tion, and also as an appetizer. For puddings, melons, etc., pulverized sugar should always be at hand, and for iced tea a slice or two of lemon with granulated sugar. These and a thousand and one other little things we could mention concerning the table, cost no more than the slovenly served, appetite-destroying foods of the present time. Cleanliness of the table should be coimportant with cleanliness of the body. Such a table would never fail to make home the abiding place of true love and solid comfort. But as we have no schools for teach ing the above art what are we to do? Why not establish one, establish a dozen, yes, and in every city and every village. Have it a school of practical housekeeping. Instruct the pupils in every department, from the scrubbing of the front door steps to the myste ries of the kitchen. Run it actually as a boarding house. issue diplomas ot graduation to your servant pupils after a two, three or four years course. Have each pupil begin by learning the most merial labor, anid by degrees advancing until she is thoroughly qualifed in every department of the scullery, chamber, laundry and kitchen. Have her to do practical work, not work in theory. Take in boarders, charge good prices, give first-class service, and as Colonel Sellers would say, "there's millions in it." Will any of our readers take the hint? A diploma from such an institution would insure marriage, and what is still better happiness in marriage. While Th re is Life There is Hope.

THE TOPAZ CINCHONA CoRDIA L CO., * Spartanburg, S. C., C. S. A. On Monday last, shortly after the train on the Narrow Gauge road left Lenoir, it ran over a log on the track and broke a spring on the engine. Just after leaving Newton Miss Lou Travis, who was walk ing on the side of the track, was knocked off by the enrine (town ain emnbanknment, having one of'her ankles slightly fractured. A little dog was knocked from a trestle 20 high, but it did not tarry after striking the ground, so it was not badly hurt. On Friday night last Robert, the 16year old son of MIr. Thiornwell Bruce, of Pleas. ant Hill township. Lancaster, had one of his jaw bones broken and other bones of the ~ace fractured by a kiek from his horse which he was trying to catch. He has not been nble to speak nor eat sinmec AUTOMATA IN FORM1ER CENTURIES. Tranqlated from the German. by .. Bahimann. Conlmbia, S. C., for the Daily Record. Automata are called those machines, or those moving lifeless objects, which have concealed the motive power, and corsequently seem to move of their own accord; when they have the form of man and perform hmAn actions then they are also called androides. The motive power generally consists of springs, chains, weights, which can be easily con cealed. Antiquity already knew automata. The oldest automat was the great phi losopher. Aichytas of Tarent, 400 years B. C. He made a wooden pigeon, which, as "Gellius" says, could fliv. Pausanius mentions a moving wooden eagle, Po lybius a creeping snail, which was made by the celebrated orator and statesman, 5emitrius Phalereus, of Athens. In the middle age the monk iloger Baco made a wooden head, which could make a speech. It is said that the celebrated necromancer and philosopher, Albert the Great, Count of Bollstadt, (1193-1280) made a wooden figure which opened the door for the visitors, saluted and appar ently addressed them. On one occasion the equally renowned philosopher, Thomas of Aquino, became so terribly frightened that he struck off the head of the figure. This mishap caused the manufacturer to exclaim that his work of thirty years had been destroyed. The distinguished mathematician, Job Mul 1er, made, among other works, a fly which would move about on the table; and an eagle which was placed on the gate tower at Numberg, and welcomed the Emperor Maximilian II. on his ar rival in that city by moving its wings and head. The Emperor Charles V. found in his old age great pleasure in works of art of this kind. The cele brated Bullman of Numberg made figures which marched to and fro, beat ing the kettle drum and playing the late. It is said that in the 15th century a potter in Rome produced a flute player; in 1688 the French General, Count Geuner, made a peafowl, widch walbed and ate; the missionary Thibaut made for the Emperor of China a walking lion; also a tiger. Among the artists in the 18th century the names of Pierre and Henri Louis Droz (father and son) must be placed in the foremost rank. The elder, Pierre, was born in the Swiss canton of Neuf chatel in the year 1721, died 1790; the younger was born 1752, died 1791. Among their works of art mention must be made of a two year old child, who wrote French words, dipping her pen in the ink, and after each word would look at her copy; the drawer also the size of a two year old child; another draftsman, the size of a grown man, could draw with a metallic pencil on parchment very rapidly: sketch followed sketch, and very often they had to furnish him with another piece of parchment; the piano player, a young girl, who played several pieces, following the music with her head and eves, and after each perform ance she would rise and bow to the audi ence. The younger Doz made a snuff box which contained a small bird, three quarters inch long. Its wings were green and yellow, it sat on a small gold table, flapping itslittle wings, moving its tail and delighted the audience with a melodious song. The king of Spain was presented by these artists with a wonder ful clock, on which was a bleating sheep, and a dog continually watching a basket filled with fruit, and barking when any one tried to take it oil. Vaucanson (born at Grenoble 1709, (lied at Paris 1782) showed in 1738 his celebrated flute play er; it was a figure 51 feet high, sitting on a pedestal, in which was concealed the mechanism. This figure would put the flute to the lips, moving the fingers regu larly, producing good and correct notes, and played several pieces. Another automaton played on~ a shepherd's flute, which he held in his left hand, and with his right hand beat on a tambourine the accord. A third work of art finished in 1741 was a duck made of bronzed copper, which flapped its wings. stretch ing out its neck to eat the corn scattered before her, and digesting its food. The inventor of this work of art was appoint ed inspector of the silk manufactories at Lyons, and the manufacturers threatened to'stone him, fearing their sales would be greatly diminished. The inspector, hearing of this threat, made in retalia tion the figure of an ass weaving cloth in variegated colois. This machine con tained innumerable chains, springs, levers, etc. About the same time the Hungarian, Wolfgang, born in Prenburg 1734, died 1804, created the greatest sensation with his wonderful speaking and chess ma chine. The first was invented in 1778, and consisted of a wooden box 1 by 3 feet, in which, by means of a pair of bellows and several springs, the voice of a child was imitated. Several machines have been made by Mical, Kratzunstein, Posch, but generally with less success. The wonderful chess machine, which was shown to the Empress Maria Thesesa in 1769, consisted of a figure, natural size, dressed in the Turkish cos tume, who was sitting before a table 3! by 25 feet put on rollers. This machine played chess with experts, and almost always won, at which the inventor was alwayvs present; and whether he directed the play, or a person was concealed in the machine, has never been satisfactori ly explained, as no direct communica tion had been detected. The inventor was always willing to show his wonderful machine'(when not performing), which consisted of a number of chains, wheels, levers and springs. The opinion pre vailed that magnetism was the motive power, but this theory was soon ex ploded. This machine was on exhibition in 1812 at Mailand, 1819 in London and 1822 in Paris. Great excitement was produced by Maillardet, a Swiss, in London, who showed a wooden female figure, breath ing naturally, moving her head, eyes and body, and playing eighteen different pieces on the piano. Mention must be made of a vase, pre sented by Frizard of Beil to Bonaparte, (being then first consul), which, when touched, by a spring would turn to a palm tree, under whose shades a shep ardess was spinning. --what-' the Matter With 'i eu "-Well, not much in particular.

The Law of the Road. TURN TO TiIE RIGHT.-The most iampor tant law of the road is. that when two per sons in vehicles coming fiom opposite di rections are about to meet, each s11111 reasonably bear to the right of the middl or traveled portion of the road. so that they can pass each other withont inter ferenee. A traveler is not required to keep on the right side of the road all the time: he can drive where he pleases or where the going is best, so long as he turns to tie right when he meets another vemele. If the middle and usually traveled portion of the road is very muddy, and for this or any other reason persons are traveling along ihe side of the road, then the one who is on the left side of the read is in duty bound to turn out. In Massachu;euts it was h-ld that when the part of the road whicii is wrought for traveling is hidden I snow, and a path is beaten and traveled on the side of the wrought path, per. sons meeting on such side path are each required to drive their vehicles to the rihit of the middle of it. It should. however. be remembered that this law of the road i, not an absolute and inflexible one. Cir cumstances may arise which N ould justify a deviation from it, and when they do arise, a traveler cannot stick blindly to the law, and then claim damages if lie is injured. In the crowded streets of a metropi drivers are requixcd to -xercise very great care, and when the high degre of carc dictates a departure from this aw of the road then it is not only justifiable, but Z failure to observe it might cut off one. right to recover damages if he is injured. Thlis tuirnilig to 11.e right is just the oppositt of that in England, which reoi.ires all drivers to turn to the left. The rule of turning in England is based on long-hon ored custom; our rule is established by statute in several States of the Union. Foo- PAss-NoEss.-All persons havc the same right to walk in the highway that they have to drive Ilere, and they have the same right to wilk in the middle of thc street that.thev have to waltk oil tue foot paths at the side. When one is walking in the wagon track, he must observe greate: care to avoid collision with vehicles, but the fact of his b eing there is not of itsel negligence. It is his duy to turn nut fni teams, especiaiv if heavily un, a: teamsters have 'o :ight to ran over hun simply because he happens to be in the way. They would be liable for the injury if they did. Foot passengers have the un doubted right to cross the street at any time and place, and persons driving along it must use due care not to run into them, and must hold utp to let them get by. Thec foot passenger must also exercise dtue care to avoid injury, for if he does not, lie can recover no dlamages if injured. if he sees a team coming at a rapid rate he is not justified in attempting to cross ahead of it, nor should he attempt crossing a crowd~ed thoroughfare without tirst looking care fully both ways.

Nj:w Bimmswxin, N. J.,- October 20. The tr-ial of John Patterson, which began here to day, marks the beginning of the end of a remarkable, career of crim" Pat tersoni is the son of Ezekiel Patte?. -me of the wealthiest citizens of this place, and thie nephew of ex-Judge Patterson, who ownis a large part of the town of Perth Amboy. IHe was heir to all his father's wealth, yet he left his home, associated with tile roughs of the towna, was several times arrested for drunkenness, finally took to petty t'aieving, was acecused of assault, and w-as, in short. thoroughly bad. His father threatened to disinherit him, and saveral times turned him out of the house; but John became worse, and his trial to day is the result of a charge made by his sister that he came home one night to rob the house and assaulted her when she dis covered him. It is thought his conviction is certain, although his uncle, the Judge, is assisting in his defence, and his father has hired the best counsel in the city. The opeing of the trial was marked by an at tempt of the defence to prevent 3fiss Pat terson from testifying bccaus@ she is in lined toward agnosticism. Friends of Patterson say that although he is bad he was made worse by the fact that his father was too severe with him and too inclined not to spare the rod. 'The Hlorrors at Sabine Pass. GAuvEs-roN, Texas, October 10.-The lcal relief committee that visited Sabine Pass and went as far as the entrance to Johson's Bayou has brought back a com plete list of the names of the colored people drowned at Sabine. Of the colored drowned, :io bodies are still missing, while all but 15 of the whites have been recovered and in terred. It is thought that some of the missina bodies arc stuck in the mud, which is several feet in depth on the bottom of Sabine Bay and in the river fronting the pot where the town formerly stood. MIeasures for the relief of the distressed are being acti veiy pushed at Houston, Gal veston and other < ities. The Galveston cinnittee,- who returned last night, have issued a second appeal to the citizens, and new subscription lists will be circulated to m orrow. 3Members of the local committee say the alamit v Lrows withI each hour.
