PRESIDENT HAYEs has six sup
porters out of a Senate of seventy
six.
SIX.I
THE SOUTH CAROLINA Railroad
Company offers a compromiso to
its creditors by which its funded
debt will be scaled. As the interest
is not paid on a large proportion of
the outstanding bonds, The News
and Courier advises the creditors
of the road to accept the terms
offered.
SENATOR CocHRAN says his coin -
mittee has collected sufficient o-i
dence to send Chamberlain to the
penitentiary. If so, lot the ex
governor be brought to trial forth
with. The resolution authorizing
and requesting Governor Hampton
to nol. pros. the cases of the minor
thieves and tools of the ring
especially excepted the leaders from
the general amnesty.
A 000K AND BULL story comes from
Washington that the Senate com
mittee of privileges and elections
has reported that Corbin has a
,primafacie case, and that an effort
rt will be made to remove Butler and
esconco the multitudinous carpet
bagger in his seat. This is ridicu
lous. At most, Corbin could only
hope to retain his seat one year,
and at the expiration of this time
' not only ho but Kellogg also
would be unceremoniously ejected
~, by a virtuous Democratic Senate.
SENATOR HOWE, of Wisconsin, one
of the stalwart Republicans, and a
hard old case genera;l1y, mnade in
the Senate, on Monday, a bitter
attack on President Haiyes' South
ern policy. He proved conclusively
what every one already knowv, that
if Hayes was olected so was Pack
- rd, and that the former is acting
a living lie by remaining in the
'White House, wvhile Nicholls is
"~supreme in the Pelicon State, Hie
euIogiz.ed to the skies Returning
joard Anderson, a man proven to
'?be without principle by the testi-.
~'nony of dozens of witnesses and
oor three Republican committees.
O~xld Howe's disgust is so great that
<je almost yearns for Sammy Tildeni.
Sh'~e matter with Howe is that a
ntrong movement is on foot to turn
heli out of the Senate and put a
eotter man in. Hence those tears.

mediately instititted.. suit for 'eo
covery against the stockholders. A
most determined fight has been
made against him, and he has been
bailled at every point. He has,
however, persisted in hi purpose
despite every obstacle. But the
United States Supreme Court has
mashed him out. A trunkful or two
of dirty papor is all 113 ii vn to show
for the expenditure of thousands of
dollars and yo:rs of scheming and
toil. The stockholders will now
have a rest, unless the decision in
their favor is not as favorable as
the first report shows it to ho. As
the Planters' Bank of Fairflold was
one of the corporations whoso bills
ho ondeavorod to recover on, we
congratulate the stockholders upon
their victory. The lawyers who
argued in this special cai against
Terry wore Messrs. Barker &
Lowndes, of Charleston; but the
defence was devised by a number
of lawyers, among them Colonel
Ition of Winnsboro.
PERE'LTUAL MoTIoN ACcoMPLIsHED.
-A magnetic clock, invented by
Daniol Dravbaugh, of Milltown,
Cumuberland county, Pennsylvania, is
stlliciontly romarkable to bo worth
description. The iagnetisin of the
parth, an incxhaustiblo source of

works gives an assurance of the
least possiblo friction At a certain
point tho movements of the pendu
lum itself shut off magnetic con
nection with the earth, and at
another point restore the connection
thus securing the conditions neces
sary to produce its oscillations.
The works aro so ingenious and
simple that it is no wild lsserrion
to make that, were it not for the
unavoidable wearing out caused by
even the smallest amon t of friction,
the clock would run as long as the
solid earth endures. This clock is
hung against a board partition, with
all the works exposed, subject to
the jarrinlgs of machinery and ob
structions from dust settling upon
it, yet since March 1st, 1,77, it has
been running continuously and
uniformly, with only slight varia,

AN INTELLIoENT I-oRisE.-About
throo o'clock ycsterday afternoon,
M. C. H-artwell's horse, inttachoed to
a ig'ht openm wagon, was standing
near the corner of Michigan avenue
andl( Rowland street, andi was not
hitched to t,be post in front of him.
In the wagon was .sea.ted Mr.
Hartwell's fourc year- old (laughter.
Suddenly two (logs engaged in a
fight, and snappinig, growling, and
biting, the Canines rolled over each
other until they wor1o exactly
beneath the tinfastened( horse. Thme
horse, with almost humnan intelli
gonco, turned his head as though to
satisfy himself that the little girl
was in the wagon, and then, instead
of starting off on a run, as .might
have been expected, lhe irstituited a
series of powerful, yet enreful,
movements with his hoofs, and
succeeded in kicking the curs away
from each other and beneath his

HF DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.-They
toll a story of the captain of a brig
at Vera i'az twho took a sailor who
spoke Spanish on shore with himn to
interpret for him. The conversa
tion was somewhat as follows:
Sailor-"Habla usted, E 'spanol
Scnor?"
"Si, Sonor, porfect amonto bien,"
replied the Mexican. "Buena," said
the sailor, "in cuantas dias can you
make a now main yard for the brig ?"
"No entiendo" (I don't understand),
said tho Mexican. "No on ton
day ?" said the sailor. "01 come
on, captain, ho says no can't (o it in
ten daYs."
Another linguist on shore, at the
same port, caeo up excitedly to a
native and asked :
"Look here, Solior, ha visto usted
a cabilloro a cavorting down the
streets on a derned big gray horse
with a Mexican saddle on?"
"No entiondo ?" iraid the native
with the peeuliar shrug of his
shoulders pertaining to the race.
"Ao6 entiendo ?" don't you un
derstand your own lingo, you in
fornal Dago ?
The employment of petroleum
for the removal and prevention of
scale in steam boilers, also for the
removal of deposits from water
pipes when the water contains large
quantities of lime, has become quite
common. It has the effect of
penetrating and rotting the scale,
causing it to becomo porous and
disengage itself from the surface
to which it is ittachod. It is re
garded as a very simple remedy,
anul can be used in small quantities
without any "ieu'!y whatever
say about a q;!rt per week for a
twenty--five horse power boiler, and
in quantities more or less according
to the sizo of the boilers. It may
i'e intrOluced in the feed water or
through the safety valve, or in any
way most convenient for the pur
pose. But to be effective, it must be
pure-the heavy oil used for lubri
eating in cold situations being the
most Officient.
Of a small laird in Lanarkshiro
who was noted for eccentricity and
ilealless, we hear that ou one ocea:+
sian a neighbor waited on him and
requested his endorsement, as an
accommodation, on a "bit bib" for
forty pounds, at three months' dato,
which led to tho following charac
toristic colloquy : "Naa, n-a ; I
canna do that." "What for no,
laird ? Ye hue dune the same for
ithers." "Aye, aye,. Thomas but
thore's wheels within wheels, ye ken
naothing about, 1 canna do it."
"It's a sma' affair to refuse me
laird." "Weel, ye see, Thomas, if I
was to pit my name till't,. ye wad
get siller frue the bank, and when
the time came round ye wad na be
reaody, and I wad hao to pay't.
Sae then you and mo wad quarrel ;
sa. w ma.y just as well quarrel the
noo, as lang's the s,iller's in suy
One of the most charaeristic
sayings wvhich lhe ever uttered is ro..
p)orted to have fallen from the
lips of the Prim', Minister a
week ago : "I have the Queen with
me, I have the H-ouse of Oommons
with mer, I have the country with
mon ; if I were ten years younger, I
would change the meap of Europe."
This is the splendid swagger of
Vivian Grey ; but, translated into
the plain pedestrian dialect of every
day life, it means that Lord Beacons
fieldl, having got a large majority,
dloes not knowv what use to make of
it, anid, having involved the country
in grievous difliculties, has no longer
the energies wvhich would enable
him to get it clear of them.-Lon.,
doni W orl<.
What wvill the inhabitants of the
WVhito Sulphur regions say to this ?
At a recenit lecture at Vienna, Dr'.
lE. Lowy proved that the human
skin is comipltetly imnponetrab)le for
the chemiical con tact of mineral
waters, and that therefore the ex
planation of thme effects o.f baths in
such waters must be sought ex
ehusively in the domain of physics
and not that of chemistry. This
implortan t discovery annuls all
commnon views as to thme .bathing
cures wrought by mineral waters,
anid shows~ that from a chmicalI
p)oint of view the action of the most
opp)oite wvaters must be on e and
the same.
Two PAn4LLE.T. OAsEs -It is related
that when a i'ecent caller at the
White House remarked npon the
haste of Congre.'s la passing the
silver bill over thxe vedo, the defg~eto
President replied ; "Yes, it was
indecent haste 1" This reminds us
of the story of a celebrated Eng
lishnman who was being conveyed to
Tyburn, in one of the peculiar go

PAYING THE REPOrTER.-At the
close of the -recent session of the
General Assembly a rosolution was
adoptod authorizing the clerk to
issuo pay cortificateg for twonty--five
cents each to the embers, of the
press in attendance on the House,
provided that the paid quill drivers
should agree to fund the said cer
tificates in consolidated coupon
bonds at fifty cents on the dollar.
The reporters, howover, refused to
fund and have determined to go
into tho courts for their full pay.
A poor young man once fell in
love with an heiress, and, the pas
sion being returned, it only wanted
the parent's consent to make thCi
happy. At last, meeting the father,
he asked for the daughter's hand.
"How much money can you coin
mand ?" I cannot command much,"
was the reply. "\Vell, what
are your expectations ?" "Vell, to
tell the truth, I expect to run
away with your daughter and marry
her if you don't give your consent."
Iinmortellos, or what we call
"Everlasting Flowers," employ

1,500 persons in Paris. On fete

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality'anid Color.
A dressing
which is at
once agree,~
able, healthy,
and effectual
for preserv
ing the hair.
Faded or gray
hair is soo,
restored to its
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, thongh not always,
cured by its .use. Nothing can re,
store tljji1mir where the fQllicles are
destroyed, or thp glands atrophied
and decayed. B3ut such as remain
can be saved for uisefhlness by this
aipplication. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional 'jse will prevont .the hair
*kom :turning gray or falling off,
.and consequently prevent baldness.
F'ree from those deleterious sub,
stances which make some prepara~,
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
