Two amendments to tin- Consti
tution of this ."Mate will 1)0 voted
upon by the people nt tho next
Genom I Klee (ion on November 2nd.
Itjs probably safe to say that a
majority of tho voters will never
investigate toe merits ol' these
amendments before they give their
sanction.
The ?rst ?-;
?.That Section ?I I, ?Article IX. ns rn li
fted on the Kith dav of April, ISijs, lu
utuoiided, so a~ tn rea?I as follows:
.. '.Suellen 14. Any deht contracted bv
the state shall lu- by lean on Stute
lionds, or st.lek. ni amounts not less th u
one hundred d?>llars ??tedi, l??':iring inter
est and payable semi-annually, sud
payable within Hfty-yenrs titter ibo tiiud
passage of the law ? ul liorizlng such dehl.
A correct registry ul such hon?ls ??r
slock shall he kc*pt by thc tn-asurer in
numerical order, sn as always i?> oxliil
tho number amt amoiiul unpa'ul anti tu
whom sev erally made payahlc.' "
We .--ce no objection to such un
amendment, and i: will doubtless
pass without opposition.
Tho second however ls a mutter
which concern us, and is ol" vital
importance. It relates to the (Jen.
sus and rends as follows:
"Article ll of (lie Constitution shall
bc HO amended thal hereafter in placo
of Sections 4 amt ?'? ni' sahl Article, thc
following shall 'ee substituted ami
known as Sect ii m 4, t" vv ll :
"Section 4. Th? I louse ef llcpresonta
llves shall consist ol' ne- hil iel rr; I ami
twenty-four members, to ne apportioned
Htnong the several counties according to
the number of inhabitants contained in
each ; an enumeration of ibu lui ubi tan ts
fur tills purpose shall be made in elgh
teen hundred and lllllcty-Onc ami shall
he made in the course' of every tenth
year thereafter in Hindi a manner as
?hall he, by law directed: / v.u e/. </, That
the dencrul Assembly may at ?ny time
in its discretion adopt tin- immediately
proceeding 1'uited s.ates census as a
correct enumer.it ion'of.t lie inhabit a nts of
thc several counties and make the np.
portion men I ami assignment of Repre
sentatives among the nevera! comities
aocor<liiii_r tosaid ( numeration: l'rOVliJt?il,
however, This amendment shall not pro
vont thc General Aseemlity from prov id
lng for an enumeration and apportion
ment prior*tn ISOI in thc manner now
provided for hy law .
Cnder ?ill circumstances, amend
ments to tho Constitution are mat
ters of importance and should bo
accomplished niter thc questions
are thoroughly understood. This
last "amendment in effect annuls
the requirement that the state
aimil lake a Census, of tho inhabit
by allowing the Legislature to
adopt tho Cuited States Census.
Representation in the hulls of
legislation is a mattel which all
citizens guard with jealous caro.
To bo properly represented, Ire
land is striving to-day, and moro
than a century ugo for this cause
In part, the llovolutionury War
was fought. Indeed, rho confidence
ami stability of a government ls de
pandant upon every section bel?g
allowed full and free representa
tion.
1) plurilms union, is the motto
and it ls well to bear In mind that
those who, in wisdom founded our
Government, thought proper lo di
vide il into two departments,
State and National. To each is
given rights,duties uni] privileges,
ami it is w ell, at least in tins par
ticular, tu adhere tr. the line mark
ed out, and not merge the many in
the o/l?.
The State should Ix compelled
to take a COUSUS, independent of
the United Stud's, ami it ls boped
that our condition i.-. not such to
force us to mahe this complete
surrender <>n uccontil ot
tin? mere pitta noe allowed
for this purpose, it ls Indy a bad
condition ol* ami i iv, when a State
cannot pay for an apportionment
of her repreeontatives in the legis
lature. If we had Ibo assurance
that tho Democratic I'urty would
always remain lu power, hi tho
'National Government, and that it
U'Otlld never become corrupt, it
might bo different, but oven then
il would be Well to have a State
census. Wo have no assurance
that our political sea will always
be calm, and il ls no', tin- part of
wisdom to tear away tho safe
guards, because no ?langer Is in
sight. Who can tell when another
Chamberlain, Moses,Gran! or Hay
os will arl?e? Do wo want such
men to determino how many men
ii 'ii bo elected from "black ?lis
triets," and tho number that Lau*
rous shall send? A political party
that Would steal the Presidency
would scarcely be worthy of con
" rldonec in such matters as this, We
say Jot every voter in South Caro
lina, and especially lu this section
vote "No" to this Amendment.

A TEMPERANCE STORY.
Written for Tn H A nv KHTI8KR.
I happened in a saloon one after
noon in the month of October, a la
dy in deep mourning followed by ll
little child, entered one of the fash
ionnbl" saloons I happened to tie in
at t he t inie, she stepped up to tile
? bar ami addressing thu proprietor
Maid, :
"Sir, can you assist me, I have
no home, no frierais, and am not
! abb to work."
Ho glanced at lier, .uni then at
the child with a mingled look of
curiosity and pity, evidently he was
much surprised to see a woman in
such a place begging. Without
asking any questions he gave her
some change, and turning to tho.se
present, said,
"({entinten, here i- a lady in dis
tress, can't soi .e of von help lier a
little?"
They cheerfully acceeded to hin
request, and soon a purse of two
dollars was put into her hands.
"Madam, Kalil the gentleman who
gave her tb?' money, "why do you
eome to ?i saloon,?it isn't a propor
plae. for a Indy, and why are you
driven to auch a step?"
"Sir, said the lady, I know it isn't
a proper place for a lady to be in,
and you ask me why J nm driven
to such ii step, I w ill tell you in one
short word, pointing to a bottle be
hind tho counter labeled "Whis
key," that is what brought nie here.
Whisk, y. I was once happy and
surrounded willi all tile luxuries
that wealth could produce, willi a
fond, indulgent husband. Itut in
an evil holli" IK; WHS tempted ami
not possessing- the will io resist the
tempation, fell, ami in om* short
year my dream <>f9 happiness was
over, my homo was forever desolate
and the kimi husband and tim
Wealth that some OH I led mine, was
lost. Lofft never to return, and all
by the accursed win?' cup. You
sec before you only tin wreck of
my former self, homoleflfl and
friendless, with nothing left, mo in
this world but this little child."
And weeping bitterly slu* affection*
atejy carrosser! tho gobion curls
that shaded U face of oxqll.sito love
liness. Regaining her composure
and turning to the proprietor ehe
continued;
"Sir,the reason why I occasionally
enter n pl we like thia la to Implore
th*** v. bo de*l in Uiln ibuKlly pola
lil mi un-mi iiiimin iniinninnumi
son to desist, to stop a business that
spreads desolation, ruin, poverty
and starvation. Think ?nie moment
of your own loved onvs and then
imagino thom In tho situation I am
ll?, I appeal to your better nature,
I appeal to your heart, for I know
you possess u kind ono, to retire
from u business ruinous to your pa
trons. Do you know the money
you take across tin- bar is tho same
as taking the bread out of tho
mouths of the famishing, that it
strips clothing I rom their backs,
deprives them of their comforts of
this life, and throws unhappiness,
misery, erinn* und desolation in
their once happy homes. Oh, sir,
I implore, beseech and pray you to
retire from u> business you blush to
own you aro engaged in before
your fellow men, ?ind enter one
that will not only be profitable to
yourself but to your fellow cr?atur
es also. You will excuse me if I
have spoken too plainly, hut I
could not help it when I thought of
the misery, the Ullhai plnoss and
tlie su tieri II : it bus caused me."
"Madam, 1 um iud offended, be
answered, in a voice husky with
emotion, but I thank you from the
bottom of my heart for what you
have said.
"Mamma, sahl the little girl, who
in the meantime bad been spoken
to hy some ol" the gentlemen pres
ent, taking bold of her mother's
hand, these uontlcmen want tue to
sing "Little Bessie" before them,
-.hall I do so V" they all joined in
the request. Placing her in a chair
she sang in a sweet, childish voice
the following beautiful song;
Out in Hie gloomy nigh) I .sadly roam,
I have no motlier dear, no pleasant
homo;
NM one cures fur inc, no one would cry
I'lven if poor little I?OHH?O should die.
Weary atol tired I huvu boon wander
ing :dl day
And asking for work, Inn I ain ton
sundi t hov say :
^<>n thc dump!ground l must md l:?v mv
head,
Amt fathers a drunkard and mother is
.had.
Wc were so happy till father drank
ruin.
Then all our troubles and ?orr. WS he
gt) n ;
Slow Iv they faded till one summer
night
Found their dead faees sll silent and
w hite.
Then with hig tears slowly dropping I
said.
Father is n drunkard and mother ls
dead ;
Oh if the temperance moil could only
find
Poor wretched father ?nd talk verv
kind.
UH late tempor?neo tuen I>1?H??O try
Or poor little ll?nalo will ?oon starve
stet die.
All (he dav lung I have boen begging
bron I,
Father ls a drunkard ?at mother ls
dead.
Then tho (rame of billiards w?? !
loft tn nnbdiod, the curds t; co a
aside und tho unompted ".!?> ?> r.
unlined on the counter, nil had pros
sednear, some with pity beaming
eyes en!rune.ot with tho uuitte-d
voice und beauty of tho ehll who
seemed better fitted tn he with rn
gelsnhove than in such II pl iee. Th .
scene I shall never forgot to ms-:
dving day and the sweet cadenee
of her musical voice still rings in
my ears, and from her lins sunk ?
deep into th" heurts of th'>ne g "ti
ered around h??r With her ^o! lou
hair falling carelessly uhnut a her,
the beautiful eyes illuminated with
s light thal seemed not nf this
earth, she formed n picture of nitrit e :
and Innocence worthy of the fo
ntus of a poet or painter. At the
close of the song many were weet -
lng, men who had not sh?><l a tea"
for years wept Uko children. On<*
young tuan, who ha 1 resisted with j
scorn the pleading : <>f:i loving moth- |
er, entreaties of friends tos? riv . and
lead ft better li fe, to desist iront a
course that was wasting his fortune
and ruining his health, now ap
proached the child and toking hot!
her hands in his, while tears stream
ed down his cheeks, exclaimed in
deep emotion, "dod bless you my
little angel, you have saved me
from ruin anti disgrace, from pov
erty and a drunkards gi ave. If
there aro angels on earth, you are
one, God bless you, (?od bless you."
And putting a note into the bund
of the motlier, be said,
"Please accept this trifle as a to
ken of my regard and esteem for
your little girl. She has done me
lt kindness I can never repay and
remember, whenever you are in
want you will timi me a true friend,"
at the same time giving her his
name and address.
Taking her child by the hand she
turned to go, hut paused at th" door,
and sahl,
.'dod bless yon gentlemen, accept
the heartfelt thanks of a poor,
friendless, woman for the kindness
and courtesy you have shown her."
Before any one could reply she
was gone. A silence of several
minutes ensued, which was broken
l y the proprietor, who exclaimed,
"Gentlemen, that lady was right
und I have sold my last glass of
whiskey, if any of you wont any
more yon will go elsewhere."
"And I havedrunk my last glass,"
said a young man, who hud long
been given up UH a drunkard, ton
low ever to reform and as utterly
beyond the reach of those who ?hud
an interest in Ids welfare. "Be
held a tiling that wa-,and is not,
and yel is." \V. 0.

In Ireland and langland there ia nonie
pasturage all winter, and there arc no
placea for thu ?helter of Htock and H lus? p.
The Scotch highlands uro largely naed
for ?heep raising. The variety is a good,
fat, black-faced ono, and the pasturage
excellent. Hay is left out in tho open
air all wintor, both hero and Ln Ireland.
It ia put into small slacks and tied
around with ropes. In England many
of the hay and straw Htacks are thatched
and they aro, as a rule, ridge-shaped in

From lower India comes news of pas*
ticularly mischievous nocturnal depreda
tions of wild elephants. Coffee plant*?
tions, rice tl vida, etc., suttor very severely.
The destruction of the huge brutes ls th?
result of pure wantonness. Docile and
submissive in servioe, forgetful of his
vast physical superiority, ansi ever, affec
tionate to thoee whom he known, while
all goes welt the elephant is a majrnirV
oent ally; but at thu same time, whoa
the smooth oouraeof peace is interrupted
by outbreaks of temper or the spleen ot
recent capture, there is not a more "dan
gerous wild fowl" on the face of the
earth. Only a littlo time ago dreadful
stories came home of a rogue elephant
wlio had killed his keeper and half de
populated a wide track of country, drag?
ging luckless men and women front
their hut? and pounding them to death
in the village street-taking, in fact, a
perfect delight in bloodshed, and com
ing bark again and again to gase o?
bodies ot his victims, but such cases are,
fortunately rare.-Chicago Herald,
