Htntc ut the special election held

In Philadelphia the Prohibitionists
polled no more thnn lfi.017 voteH,
while l(Ht,r(i;i votes were polled

adverse majority in the city j;,54l.

The trial of Dr. McDow, libertine
and murderer, who shot Colonel
Dawson, of the Charleston Xew
ami Courier, in progressing in that
city this week, and we are assured
by a correspondent that notwith
standing the evidences of his guilt
are overwhelming he will not be
found guilty, because "it is not the
fashion to hang white men in Char
leston." Tho insinuation of course
course being that if McDow was it
negro ho would be hung without
doubt. That is unquestionably true.
It would have been sufficient to se
cure the hanging, even if no more
than a suspicion of the murder of so
distinguished a citizen as Colonel
Dawson had been excited against a
colored man. Hut we shall see if
protection can be found in Charles
ton for the Murderer McDow, in the
lace of all the brutalities attending
the case. If he cannot be convicted
and hung, as it is quite clear he
oimht to be, wherein consists the
virtue of the government by white
men in that State .' And would it
not be vastly better that the colored
majority should assume the control
to which it is entitled by its superior
numbers? There is nothing spec
ially sacred in the white skin of a
thief, a libertine, or a murderer, in
any other State of this Union, and
it is difficult to understand why
such should be the case in South
Carolina. Put we hope the trial will
reveal the fact that the correspond
ent was mistaken, and that McDow
may be convicted and hung, as ho
ought to be.

Romance of the War.
By the death of Charles yiske,
which occurred nt Wichita, Kansas,
last week, a very interesting case is
brought to light. Thirty-five years
ago, a Jiiuliuo, .!., no fell in love
with his cousin, Harriet Fiske, but
she rejected his suit nnd married
Albert Stage. A few years of hap
py married life ensued, and Stage
went to war and was heard of no
more.
Fiske, having accumulated wealth
in Colorado, again renewed his suit
and with more success, for Mrs.
Stage, thinking her husband dead,
married her cousin. They came to
Wichita and lived very happily until
the son of Albert Stage, learning the
mystery of his father's life, deter
mined to solve it.
After several years' search he
found his father alive in Florida.
A correspondence was opened, w hich
resulted in tho return of Stage and
his marriage a second time to his
wife. After this separation Fiske
went abroad, but returned a year
afterwards broken in health and
purse. His former wife found
him and took him home, where
he received the tenderest care
ft ml warmest sympathy from both
his wife and her first husband until
his death.
Deserved A Divorce.
A divorce case in which the hu
morous clement largely predomi
nates was that of Mabel Rupp and
Samuel Rupp, tried in Wayne, Mich
igan, Circuit Court tho other day.
Tho charge was a species of cruelty.
Rupp was of an exceedingly jeal-
ouu disposition, and in order to in
suro himself of his wife's fidelity
was accustomed to mako her get
down on her knees daily, and some
times almost hourly, nnd repeat the
formula : "I swear an oath on my
heart and on my children's hearts
that I hope the devil take us nil if I
have done anything wrong."
"Why did ho make those vows 1"
asked the court.
"Well, he would bring men home
and introduce them to me, but I
lidu't dare lift my eyes to look at
them. When they were gone he
would hiss through his teeth :
"Well, did you look at 'em V "No,"
I'd say. "Yes, you did." "No, I
lidn't." "Take the oath."
"Then I'd have to get dow n and
repeat that same old oath that I
hadn't even looked at his friends.
A decree was gradted.
Facts AboutjBabies.
In the course of a icture deliver
ed in New York the iher day a dis
tinguished female ihysician said
that tho inability of a- baby to hold
up its head wan not die to the weak
ness of the neck, but flie lack of de
velopment of its will'l power. The
act of standing was instinctive and
initiative, while facial expression
and gesture were due Mmost wholly
to imitation. u
A baby's smile, she sad, was the
most misunderstood n'mg in in
iancy. a real sniue mtkt Lave an
idea behind it, but thil expression
resembling n smile, wbifli is so of
ten seem on a very y img baby's
face, was without an idV and was
due to the easy condition of the
stomach or to some othkr physical
satisfaction. The sniilh with an
idea does not nppear uulier than
the fourth week. So, tot, with the
crying of a baby. The contortion of
the features is duetto physical
causes. The baby shfds no tears,
because the lachrymal glands arc
not developed for sevelal weeks af
ter birth. The chief pl-asuro of all
children is to change fifni one con
dition to another by tljeir own ef
forts. This is the begirding of the
development of tho will-power, and
is often attested in w ui,t has been
called tho "imperative ntention of
tears.', This is not disponed until
after the second or thirO month.
A baby tests every tuing by its
mouth, its sense of tastt being the
surest and most reliable 'ruido it has.
Tho attention of all youig children
is difficult to attract auQ they must
attain considerable age Before they
t a a mi I
egiu io nonce, men colors and
sounds are most poteitinl". Fear
has been known to bo "manifested
by a baby only three wees old, and,
in all cases, the sensatioi'iis produc
ed by sound more tlianjby sight.
Children of luxurious an carefully
guarded homes uro ulmst wholly
without fear, but the iiildren of
poor and exposed parens always
manifest in. Jealousy nn 'sympathy
begin to manifest themselves in the
second year. Curiosity iso begins
to develope here nnd pro-is to be a
self-feeder throughout Lild-hooiL
little later the ego begbs to ap
pear, and tho baby has th I first con
sciousness of itself. ThAcgo first
appei-8 as a muscular sense and tho
infant gradually learns to distinguish
itself from surrounding objects. It
is first the hand that is ditinguished,
und then the foot, and fi ially the
whole body. Memory dos not np
pear before the child is 2 years of
age. All the reasoning of children
is primitive and elemental and de
velops slowly. Darvm noticed an
association of ideas in th : mind of
his child when it was. only five
months of age. The lecturer relat
ed experiences of babies with the
fust view of mirrors, an4 showed
that their actions under tho new
conditions were similar to those of
anthropoid apes and dogs inderlike
conditions.
Making Fire.
It is always a matter of interest in
an unknown laud to laid out how
tho natives produce fire. The
South Sea natives do so by tho fric
tion of dry hibiscus wood a pointed
stick rubbed into a slot is their
method. The Fuegans strike two
pieces of pyrites into scrapings of
berberice stems. The Gaucho of tho
rumpus, with an elastic stick of
about eighteen inches, presses one
end against his chest and tho other
end pointed in a piece of dry wood,
then turns rapidly the bow, us in days
gone by drilling holes was accom
pnsnou ; uui jsornoe is moro scien
tific and carries tho palm. Prof.
Farady referred in a lecture to the
production of tire by compressed
air. in isoroe, a wim tribe, or cu
nous habits tho Kyans, in Sara
wiik have always done so with
kind of popgun. Lord Eiphiustone
has a very lino specimen in his col
lection, and the British Museum has
iwo, out ironi otner parts ; one
Sumatra, from Fort Vanda, Capella,
a very beautiful specimen, with tin
dcr-box on top, and carved in bluck
horn ; and another from Burmah, in
tho north part of Irrawaddy River,
Kachyen district.
