A THRILLING NARRATIVE.

never read n narrative oil wretched
ness more touchingly told. than the one
which follows. from real life. The scene
occurred in New York a week or two since
before the Police Court, and is from the New
York TatIer--a paper remarkable for the
vividness and power of its Police Reports
If one can read the following without feel
ing queer about the heart, he may depend up
on it he has none.
GENUINE WRETCHEDNESS.
A tall, haggard looking woman, very neat
ly clad, but with an air Of worn out gentili
ty about her, was charged with stealing a
brass candlestick worth about W shIlllngs.
she sat apart from the other prisoners, and
appeared to be deeply stricken with poverty
and sorrow. Ii was evident however, that
she took no interest in her present position,
nor cared for the disgrace or inconvenience
she might be subjected to, but that her sor-
rows had a deeper root, and that her heart
(alas, what a wretched heart was that0 was
elsewhere. She sighed continually but her
sighes were Suppressed as if she didn't wish
them to be overheard; and her eyes were
red and hard with weeping, and she would
have wept still, but that she had no tears to
shed. She was beyond that. The poor
creatures hair was loose and ragged, her par
oxysm; her wrinkled brow and her haggard
eye gave evidence Of much mental suffering,
and her pinched up, attenuatednose and chin,
and hollow skinny cheek, told but too plainly
that stark famine had almost done its work
upon her, for she was so much wasted, that
there could be but little further effected by
the grave and the worms. Her dress con-
sisted of an old ~tattered gown, and that was
all; for the rents here and there made it too
evident that she had no inner garment, and
she was also deficient in shooes and stockings.
God help her, much as we are used to scenes
of misery and wretchedness, we did not
think there was so forlorn a being in exist
ence, or even that a being could exist and
be so forlorn. Her name was Ellen Barclay.
The Court having disposed of three or
four trifing leases, called Ellen Barcley, but
received no answer.
Don't you hear his worship calf said a
wathman.
Still no answer. 'D-n you get up ad-
ded the watchman; and he was about to
lay rude hands on her, when he looked in
her face, but was at once subdued and al
most terrified by its expression of abstract
misery. 1t was evident the wretched wo-
man was wrapped up in her W agonising
reflections, and that she was not aware Of
what wls passing around her.

1889

The remaining twenty counties gave a
Democratic majority of 1000 in 1889. This
will reduce the opposition majority to $500.
In 1885 White majority over Var Buren,
was 2772.
The following extract from the N. Y, Era
OF Oct. Is, throws some light on the matter,
and promises the vote Of Georgia for Van
Buren,:
"The opposition nave not only manufactur-
ed false returns for the purpose Of affecting
the elections in Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, but they have studiously avoided tel
ling the fact that what they term the 'Whig'
candidates for Congress are all PLEDGED
against a repeal of the Independent Treasu-
ry-against a National Bank-against Adolf
ton. These forming the present canvass
they have NJ right. even if what they term
THEIR CANDIDATES are elected, to
claim it as a victory. W. have laying be-
fore us a letter dated Augusta, Oct. 9th, in
which the writer says.'I voted, with numbers
OF Mr.. Van Buren's friends, for the Dawson
ticket, knowing them to be pledged against
repeating the Sub Treasury. and opposed to
a National Bank. We were compelled to do
this from considerations entirely local. Had
| known that the Wings here would have
claimed the nominal increase as a Harrison
victory, | should not certainly have deposit
ed this ballot. 1t is yet possible that the
Colquitt ticket is elected.
"The strong Union counties are not yet
heard from. If they increase in The ratio
anticipated here, | shall not be surprised if
Mr.. Dawson and his friends are defeated
1t is ridiculous to suppose that Georgia will
cast her electoral vote for General Harrison.
You NAV arrive at this conclusion from the
fact that Mr.K.. Mr.. III. and Mr.. w. warm
as they are in favor of Van Buren,, voted
with me. ! must acknowledge that | am not
satisfied with my vote"

KYoTICE is thereby given that the undersigned has
~ taken out letters Of Administration on the es-
tate OF Hugh Lells, deceased, from the Clerk Of the
County Court, OF Warren County. bearing date the
23d of October, A. d. 1910: all persons, therefore
who have any claims against the estate of said deceased
are required to exhibit the same duly authenticated 70
allowance, within one year from the date of said let
tiers, or they may be precluded from having any bene
fit Of said estate, and If such claims are not present.
ed within three years they will be forever barred.

PENNsYLvANIA.-We have returns from
THIS state from 43 counties which give a De-
mocratlc majority of 1898. There are II
counties to hear from, which in 1888 gave
Porter o. a majority Of 1868. The ac-
counts In the different papers we nave before
us however, present a mass of contradiction,
and confusion. The Cincinnati Chronicle
furnishes a summary by which it appears that
the Democratic majority will only be sO3;
whereas, the New Era which copies this
statement supposes the majority will be about
5000 for the Democrats. For ourselves, we
have no hesitation in believing that the state
has gone for the administration by at least
5000 if not $4,000. In the district which
was contested in the last Congress, Ingersoll,
(D.) has succeeded by a majority that as
tounds the wings. They, however, claim a
gain of w or 8 Congressmen-and the mail
will perhaps bring US the correct returns
from the whole state.
, 1840-10-31

NEW Court IN ST. Lours.-We under
stand that at the approaching session of the
Legislature. an attempt will be made to es.
tablish in St. Louis, another Court, with a
view TO relieve the Circuit of a portion ofthe
business that now crowds its docket. 1t is
proposed to give the new Court jurisdiction,
concurrent with the Circuit Court in act
tions, where the amount Of debt or damages
is limited and upon liquidated demands
TO the Circuit Court its chancery
powers and jurisdiction in cases IeaGing to
litigation.
, 1840-10-31

Majority on JOINT ballot "a
From this it will be seen that the Demo.
Gratis retain a majority in the Senate, which
has been secured by the election in Hamilton
county of Holmes (Dem.) over the notorious
John c. Wright. This election leaves Ohio
in the same position which she occupied pre-.
vious to the Presidential election in 1886,
when she gave Harrison s,457 majority.
GEoRGIA.-The returns, from this State
being from 70 out of SO counties, according
to the Federal reports, stand,
Dawson ticket Qed.j 35.174
Democratic ticket 3O.835
, 1840-10-31

New JERsEr.-The returns are partial
the wings as usual have defeated us by about
500. If their statements have their general
lnaccuracy, We have carried the state. In
no instance, have their first reports been sus-
tanned by the actual result; they puff and
blow without measure, and cry o. X. with
out the least regard to accuracy or correct
ness.
