sndi the patriots who for four m. uths

will now have an opportunity after
iaving the nation to spend some little
time in saving themselves. It has
been a most desperate hat: le for both
parties and while the winners feel
bat they are fairly ent.tled to success
,e losers feel that they have lost no
onor for they did all that mortal
uan could do to win.
Wh ile popular gover nment may
iave its faults, and our systen of
hallots may hav-e its drawbacks, it is
iuestionale if any form of govern.
rnent ever devised by man could be
as completely revolutionized as ours
has been-with so little disconfo-t
and disord r. Tuesday night was
stormy, the streets were sloppy and
sold. but :ill long after midnight
rowds thronged about the d:fferent
b-lletin bjoardls eager to catch thre
latest item of news that couldi give
Lh- m a crumb' of comnfort or informa
tion. The day opened.u fairly. thec
weather was cool arid cloudy and
every one seemed to '-el in a partie
rlarly happy mood. fi one who re
membo.rs the turburlent elections of
forty years ago, last TLuesdlay must
have appeared like a Sunday school
picuric. In fact, it was marvel Ous to
see thousands oft people engaged in a
contest ~which to them meant grea'
success or absolute failure,.eachr of
la.e.g rest parties exerting itself to thre
utmost of its energy, and yet without
any serious disturbance or riot. To
appreciate the ditTerence one must
see. a French, a German, or --English
riot, the English being the most
brutal and rufBanly of them all. An
English mob spares neither age nor
sex.
Remarks which would cause a per.
son to be indicted under the inde
cency act in the United. States, pass
without notice or reprobation in
London or Liverpool. Trhe occasion
of a popular election is always one
of riot and outrage, and on any kin~d
of a popular occasion it is no uncomn
mon thing :o smash tihe windows of
those of opposite political sentiments,
Not fifteen years after the battle of
Waterloo, as popular a man as the
Duke of Wellington fell under the
pu..lic ban, and Apsley House was
pelted by tire mob till there was not
a whole pane of glass left in it fromi
cellar to roof. So I felt a little proud
as I surveyed the rival hosts on TIues.

"The ballots fall as silently as snow.
flakes on the sod.
That execute the Freeman's will, as
lightning does the will of God.'
There was plenty of chaff and rail.
lery, some pushing and haulin::, but
nothing worthy of tbe name of riot
or disorder. As the shadows of
night fell the anxiety began to in
crease and by nine things were at
fever heat. Each new bulletin was
received with cheers by the party
that derived most comfort from it.
while the different exclamations fromr
individual members of the crowd
brought out roars of langhter whici
shook the multitude like an earth
quake. If the news was favorable tc
Bla'ne some one would roar oul
"How :10 you do, 3Mr. Beecher, ' and
if the return favored Clevela1d some
one would cry "'Bully for M1ulligan '

post- e signifirs simple admiration
when the Iust stands on its head il
means that the only sentiment evoked
y the suppliant is ridicule. If the

the wr.ter is dying for love; if it is ly.

THE 31IDLAND RAILROAD.
From the Greenville Ne'ws,
In an interview publi-hed on Fri
day last in the Charleston News anld
Courier, ref'erence was made to this
new road as only connecting Colum
bia and Charleston. and this in the
face of a public annoncement that a
charter was to be obtained for this road
from Greenville via Laurens, New
herry and Orangeburg to Charleston;
this short, impregnable central line
from the mountains to Charleston,
with the opportunity for rapid trans
it, will, it Is believed, mulhiply won
derfully intercour-e between upper
Carolina and Charleston, and attract
business largely from the territory
east and west of it.
We fail to understand how it can
be imagined that the project ema
nates from the Richmond and Dan
vrille corporation. Its stock has
steadily sunk to the low figure of
"25" on the New York Sto'k Ex
change. and this would seem to in
dicate that it already possessed all
the miles of badly located roads it
want d in South Carolina.
Perhaps the solicitude exhibited In
this interview by Mr. Brawley, the
attorney for the South Carolina Rail
way Company, grows out of the fact
that this new road will represent on
ly $15,000 a mile, as against $40,000
a mile of bond debt and $20,000 a
mile of stock debt. a total of over
$60,000 on Mr. Brawley's road ! And
perhaps .the business community of
upper South Carolina. and especially
of Greenville, Laurens, Newberry,
Columbia and Orangeburg, when
they realize that $2,500,000, in
vested in a clean new road 210 miles
long will remove the- freight and
passenger burdens to and from Char
leston, now imposed to keep afloat

A man's world is pretty much what

in psychology that what the nind i

what tihe outer world supplies for
that congeption, And4 it is no less

our social or moral or religious

The empty tin can at last has a

Emptied of its contents'of peaches or

lonse. Thousands of these cans are
athered in Philadelphia every week
md made into shining sheets and
xsed to decorate or cover large tra
reling trunks, and thus get a promo
ion from the back yard to the boa
loir. On the outskirts of the city,
within a short time, a number cf fac
ories for the conversion of these old,
>uffeted and battered cans and other
in refuse from the ash.heaps have
sprung up, and the business is a
rowing one. One of considerable
size is on Moyamening avenue, be

the soldered seams are subjected to
n intense heat in such a way that
the solder is allowed to run in a re
zeptacle, and is carefully saved and
sold, the profit fiomn this s-'ure
alone almost paying for the expense
of gathering and handling the cans.
The tops and bot;oms of tbe cans nre
turnred into window-sash weights. The
labels on the tin-plates are easily
taken off, after having been thorough
ly soaked and the plates'themselves
rolled out flat by machinery. As dis
colored by the contents they present
a clean surface and make excellent
covers for trunks, the seams being
hidden by the trunk braces, either
wood or sheet.iron. Other uses are
also made of the tin plates, and there
is considerahle profit in the business.
Th'e process is quite simple, and very
little capital is required. One con
cern in this city rolled out 40.000 of
these plates in less than two months,
and the industry promises to be large
