Sani Lee, whent calletd on, said that the ]Iepuiblicans were thoroughly or'ganlzed in South Carohi . a, andit with a little 1help fronm the North lhe could catrry the State by twenty-five thousand majority for Garfield. Similar p)'rmises wer'e made hefrm all the States. It is to be pre. snmed that the Nqothern m embers~ hoard these MunhnusenisD51 withI tis. I gust. If the Soutlern members head agreed among thenmelves to. lie about only one or two States they might lhave been believed. But they overdid the business. The Republicans will find their hands full in the North, and as they failed to carry any Southern State fairly in 1876, even with the aid of machinery and troops, they will hardly be foolish enough to waste time on any of them now. The South will be solid for Hancock. TIE RECENT SAD DUEL WILL HAVE the effect of renewing discussion con cerning the code. its ierits and demerits cannot all be discussed in a short article. It often promotes the honorable adjustiznt of diflculties, and it does not involve wholesale butchery in the streets. On the other hand It sets up a law within the law and sanctions the shedding of blood ol a pIllctilio, aid while it aly pro t6et the physically weak inan from his superior in strength, it does not rc inove discrepancy in marksmaIIInsIhip, or the differeiee in the nerve or coolness of the conibaitaitts. In the purview of the law, however, all breaches of tile peco are tunlawful and the 111W taikes cognizance of them.

The Idea that shaving Is a du1ty, says the London News-ceromoiial, as among the Egyptian priests, or social merely, as amnong ourselvo-is older than the invention of *teel or even of bronze razors. Nothing is more ro markable in savage life than the reso lution of the braves who shave with a shell or a broken piece of glass loft by European marIners. A warrior wi: throw himself on (ho gi ound, and while one filid holds his arms and prevents him from stry-gding, atnother will scrape - 111 chin wth the shell or tle broken bottle glass till lie riscs, bleeding but. beardless. Macaulay, it seems, must have shaved almost as badly with (te razor of modern life. Whon lie went to a barber, aid, after an easy shave, asked what lie owed, I the tbflow replied: "Just what you generally give the man who shaves you, sir." "I generally -ve him two cuts onl each cheek," satid the historian of England. Shavitg requires a coII bination of qualities which rarely tncot II one anateur. You should have plenty of -razors Ait)like a Prussian anbassndor o'the stingy Frederick. The ambassador, according to Vol(aire, cut his throat with tehe only razor lie possessed. Tle clin of that diplomltliist must havo beet unworthy alike of' the court tio which he w,as accredited and of that. from which he caie. The exquisite shaver who would ace the world with a stnooth eltinl requires Imiany razors, inal strops, itaty bruslies, odd Soap1, a light ptealy hand, and, perhaps, a certain gaiet,y oftomper which prevents edged wealpo.is f11om1 offelrig unholy< temptatiois. Perhaps the Shaver is f born, not made, like the poet.; ertainly j inan1t1y mein are born1 with an inability to sliave. ere comes the need for I fte kindly race of barbers, a race dear to literature. Tite energy of Ihe Brit ht character, our zeal for individual enterprise, Imlakes us a self-shaving rtace; the Latin teople are economicil, but. they do not gruldge paying for~ alt easy shtie. Aieric'ans fin this Iatter' are tutote Conl ti nlental (han En Jt"gllish inl their 1aste. Wias it not inl Marseilles that his I'rinds induced Mark Twain to be shiaved by it barber worthy%- of (ie bottle-glass or sea-shell stage of his professioni*? Tbey pretended hat his perfbioraneps were equal to) .those of ithe barber on board te ship that brought theln from America. Etnglistuet ns a rule shave them selves when they do not wear beards.
