have received through Pennsylvania papers, it
astOnishes US that Geary's majority was not
three or four times as much as reported, but
we suppose that CovOde instructed his subor-
dinates, who acted as return Judges, not to
make the return of majorities too large, for
fear that their frauds would be too patent on
their face.
In Ohio we have only this to say: that the
Democracy have gained about $4,000 votes in
year f; that is, Grant carried Ohio by over 49,.
600 in 1863, and Hayes majority in 1869 is
only about 1000. Had not similar frauds as
those practiced in Pennsylvania been practiced
in this State Pendleton would have undoubtedly
been elected. In the Western Reserve Dis.
trict of Ohio, that hotbed of Radicalsm and
miscegenatiOn, the returns were held back I'M
til other portions of the State reported, when
it was ascertained how much was necessary to
elect Hayes, and then the returns were sent in
to suit the Radicals. In Scioto county between
fifty and sixty negroes voted in the 4th ward Of
Portsmouth for the Radical ticket, which was
enough to elect the Radical candidate for the
Legislature in that county by majority of on.
ly twenty.three. We have no doubt but that
thousands Of negroes in Ohio voted and that
they all voted the Radical ticket None of
them being legal voters under the Constitution
and laws of that State, as matter of course
the Radical judges perjured themselves In re.
ceiving and counting their votes.
The instances of fraud and rascality prac-
ticed by the Radicals 10 those two States at the
recent elections are too numerous to mention,
and sufficient to disgust any man possessing a
particle of honesty. It only veri6es what we
have heretofore said, that the Radical party
will scruple at no act. however dishonest, in
order to accomplish their nefarious designs.

An extensive fire occurred at Trenton
on Wednesday morning. At about 3
O'Clock the woollen factory of Samuel
K Wilson, located between Broad and
Factory streets, caught fire by the fric-
ton OF the machinery, and from the
infammuble nature of the material and
the oily condition OF the floors a
damage of about $40, 900 was sustained
before the fremen succeeded in subdu-
ing the flames. The fire was principal
ly confined to the card room. Last
week the same building was damaged
to the extent of $340 by fire. The
factory is insured for $50, 900, principal
ly in the Hartford Company and the
Manhattan Company of New York. Mr.
Wilson employs about 800 hands in his
factory, about half Of whom. principally
girls, will be thrown out of employ

How TO GROW BEAUTIFUL. Persons
may ont grow disease, and become
healthy, by proper attention to the laws
of their physical constitution. BY
moderate and daily exercise, men may
become active and rong in limb and
muscle. But to grow beautiful, how :?
Age dims the lustre of the eyes, and
pales the roses on beauty's cheeks,
while crowsfeet, and burrows, and
wrinkles, and lost teeth and gray hair,
and bald head, and lettering limbs,
and limping most sadly mar the human
form divine. Bnt, dim as the eye is,
pallid and snnken as may be the face of
beauty. and frail and feeble that once
strong, erect and mahly body, the
immortal soul, just Hedging its wings
from its home in Heaven, may look out
through those faded windows as
beautiful as the dewdrop of n summers
morning, rs melting as the tears that
glisten in affections growing kind
ly, by cultivating sympathy with all
human kind, by cherishing forbearance
toward the folles and foibles Of our
race, and feeding day by day on that
love to God aud man which lifts us
from the brute, and makes us akin to
angels.

TROUBLE FoR mAP-mAKERs.

In the wars of Napoleon it used to be
said of every fresh declaration of hos
tilities that the Emperor was about
making new map of Europe. The
South tried to make a new map of the
United State by war, and the only re
suit was the dismem berment of Vir-
ginia. But it seems that we are likely
to have a re-division of three or four
old states, Alabama taking the western
part of Florida, and Delaware annex
ing the eartern shores of Maryland
and Virginia; which changes, with the
partition of Texas and the merging of
portions of Northern Michigan and
Wisconsin with the rising state of On
tonagon, will make all present aliases
useless, and stimulate active rivalry in
the publication of new Ones.-N. Y.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..
TIME OCCUPIED BY ELECTRIC SIGNALS IN
PASSING FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO
BOSTON AND BACK.


The particulars of an interesting tel
| egraphic experiment are given by the
Buffalo Courier as follows:
q For the purpose of arriving at the
difference in mean time between San
Francisco and Boston, the wires of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
have nightly been connected for near
ly month past from one side of the
continent to the other; and the tick
ing of chronometer in Cambridge
University has been observed and re-
corded in San Francisco with most
remarkable degree of accuracy. This
is done by connecting the pendulum
of the chronOmeter at Cambrige with
the wires in such manner that the
main circuit is broken, and instantly
closed again at every tick of the time
piece.
At any time during an evening of
the past month visitor to the opera
ting rooms of the Western Union Tele-
graph Office of this city, might have
heard one of the little Instruments
part of a minute, with the monotony
and regularity of a chronometer itself.
Tick tick tick One, two, three,
four, five minutes elapse, and then the
little monitor ceases. Back comes the
answer from San Francisco to Boston /:
All right; your second signals come
good and have been recorded for five
minutes. Go ahead five minutes
more Again, tick tick ! tick! for
five minutes, and then San Francisco
says again: .All right; are you ready
to take my signals p And the answer
from Boston is: Yes; go ahead =
Tick tick tick says San Francisco
for the allotted five minutes, and Bos-
ton says in return, All right 2
=" But Notwithstanding the speed
with which these pulsatiOns of clock
fly from one side of our continent to
10 E<T1 hRr Is of
time in the transmission. How to ar
rive at this loss and measure 1T is the
next question, Nothing easier; a
second wire is switched into place, a
repeater added at Boston, and, pres
to /! tits done. Now the clock ticks
made at San Francisco rush on the
wings of light over the three thousand
miles of wire to Boston, and back again
to San Francisco over the second wire
and record themselves at the point of
starting, in something less than sixty
seconds of time, having, in the inter
val, traversed six thousand miles.
Last night February 2S) witnessed the
successful completion of this last ex-
pertinent, and the flight of electricity
was actually measured, so to speak, as
easily as one measures a yard of mus
lin,
"Never before in the worlds history
has such a wonderful feat been at
tempted, and that this has been
brought to a successful conclusion is
due entirely to the beautiful working
of the Western Union Company's
wires, together with the assidiOus at
tention and superior ability of its en-
pIOyes. Trace the route on the map
and mark the immense distance so
lightly glided over by the subtle fluid.

Albany, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago,
Omaha, Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, and
Virginia City to San Francisco, and
this route is of course doubled, forming

ELEPHANT AND LOCOMOTIVE,

A correspondent writing from Mon
ghyr, India, states
A serious accident, brought about in
a manner unknown, and perhaps un-
heard of since the establishment of
railways, not only in India, but
throughout the world, happened to an
evening train between Sahebgunge and
MirzapOre, about two miles from the
down goods train was approaching a
mangoe tcpe, in which some seventy
elephants were stationed. The red
lights glaring in the distsnce, and the
noise and smoke of the engine, would
seem to have caused an awful consterna-
tion among the poor brutes, all OF
whom more or less tried ito break away
from their fastenings, One large male
however, the strongest and most cour-
ageous of the lot, became so infuriated
that he broke his chain and rushed for
ward to intercept and encounter the
supposed enemy. He had scarcely
placed himself on the line when the
train was down upon him. He encoun-
tered it with head and tusxs; but ami
NAL strength proved no match for steam
and machinery-the poor prute was
knocked down and killed on the spot,
and the engine rebounding, ran of the
line, and it and eleven carriages were
capsized into a ditch. The fireman
luckily managed to jump off in time,
and the guard did the same but the
poor driver, named Smith, remained
in his place, and received injuries from
which it is not expected he viii recov-
