Winter Wisdom,

Warm clothing alone will not protect the body
against the consequences of the sudden depre sion
oftemperature which is concomitant of early winter
Flannel next the skin preserves the animal heat,
but it does not impart animal vigor. That proper
ty is the special prerogativc of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, which is therefore a specific protection
against a majority of the complaints which are
most common at this season. For example, a
course of the great vegetable nvgorant com.
meneed now, will be almost sure to preclude chills
and fever, bilious collie, disorders of the stomach
constipation, and many other complaints which
are often the direct indirect effect of an atmos-
phere, surcharged with cold, unwholesome vapor.
Moreover, the system toned and regulated by this
means is much more likely to resist pulmonary
disease than it would otherwise be; for the infu-
ence of searching medicine pervades all the organs
and every fibre and tissue of the frame. Persons
whose vital powers are weak, especially invalid
ladies and the aged, are earnestly recommended
not to face The winters rigor without having re.
course to this safe and sufficient means of re-en.
forcing enfeebled nature. Much suffering may be
escaped, much danger avered by following this
counsel. Better late than never, is a good pro.
verb, but it is better to be early than late.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Providence Journal says "our dem
ocratic friends constantly adduce the pee
ulations and defalcations occurring, from
time to time, in the federal Government,
as an offset to the rascalities in New York
and from the conclusions that they draw.
we might almost infer that official corrup-
ton was the normal condition Of govern
ment. That there should be. as there
always has been, dishonesty in the admins
tration of public officers is, unfortunately
no matter of surprise or novelty. The fed
eral government, under whatever admin
istration, can claim no exemption from
this. The bad eminence Of New York is
that there corruption has been the rule,
not the exception that there the plumber
of the public has been reduced to a
science that thieves, known to be such.
have been elected to most responsible
places, and have stolen the public money
without let or hindrance. When thief is
detected in the federal administration, he
is arrested, tried, and if convicted is sent
to the State prison in New York he is put
at the head of department that expends
millions of public money, where he defies
the men whom he has robbed, and goes
on robbing. The populations under the
federal government are so closely watched
and followed up. that they are triiing in
comparison with the great amount of
money that passes through so many
hands; in New York they reach to half
the princely revenues of the city they
commence in the highest quarters and 60
down through all the grades of service,
till the city government has become den
of thieves. The attempt to Offset this by
few populations, followed up vigorously
and punished promptly, is an insult to the
common sense of the people,"

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The New York Times gives the official
figures of the late election, and comments
upon them as follows:-
1.-The official canvass shows that the re-.
publican ticket received at the late cleo
ton majority of 1885. This is again -
of 81 1871 over last year.. e., the republi.
can ticket this year received 20,67l votes
more than last year. and the democratic
ticket 81 1920 less. The whole of this re-
publican increase, and more, must be
credited to New York and BROOKLYN.
where the republicans cast 27,5S7 more
votes than last year. These votes were
cast almost entirely by republicans who
neglected to vote last year, rather than by
electors who last year voted the demo-
cratic ticket. This is shown by the fact
that the democratic vote in the two cities
referred to was only GAO less this year
than last. The total vote in the State fell
off l0,640, the republican vote outside of
the cities of New York and BROOKLYN
showing decrease of 4,9l6. These fig
ures prove that the bulk of the work for
the republican State ticket was done in
tho city Of New York, and with the citi-
zens of Brooklyn who mainly do business
in New York. We ought to add, how
ever, that in Westminster county, the
home Of many thousands of New Workers,
clean specimen of conversion is shown
"A democratic majority of 1920 being
changed to republican majority of 2, l4l,
on total vote increased only five per
cent.
To nearly the same extent that republi-
can gains were made in the city of New
York and its neighborhood, democratic
losses were shown in the country. Ofthe
total decrease in the democratic vote,
fve-sixth, or "a $50. is found in the coun.
try. The two facts, therefore, which
stand clearly out in these returns are
first, that with any cause that appeals t.
their consciences, the republicans of the cit,
can be brought to the polls; and second
that when such a cause is in issue, tn
democrats of the country will not respont
to mere partisan appeals. 1t is for th'
of the republican party il
the Legislature to say whether next year

The New York Tribune gives the following
account of the ball given in New York in
honor of Prince Alexis:
The ball at the Navy-Yard last night was
held in the large equipment building, oppo-
site the Admiral's office. The sail-loft in the
upper story. about $50 feet in length by sixty
in width, had been handsomely fitted up as a
ballroom, while adjacent rooms were used
for promenading, and as cloak and ante-roons
In the ballroom the decorations were simple
but tasteful. the national flags of Russia and
America being alternately draped on one side
of the room, and those of various nationali-
ties on the other. The ceiling was decorated
with rosettes of the American colors, the blue,
and star forming the centre piece, with the
the stripes radiating outward. Appropriate
ornaments, in the way of stars, of cutlasses
and bayonets, brass guns, and models of ves-
sells, adorned the walls, and the whole scene
was both brilliant and delightful.
The Grand Duke, who had been anxiously
awaited, arrived at about 10 l-2 o'clock, ac-
Companed by M. and Nine. Catacazy He was
Immediately conducted to the dais in the
centre of the great hall, where he was intro
duced to Admiral and Mrs. Stew art, and took
his stand with M. Nine. CatacaZy to receive
the compliments of large number of the
guests, who were in turn brought up and in
troduced by the officers of the Yard. The
Grand Duke thus made the tour of the room
with Mrs. Smith, wife of the Admiral, and
this ceremony over, dancing began.
At midnight supper, which had been set in
large adjoining room, was announced and
the great throng of guests were soon busy at
work discussing the dainties which the taste
and care of the gentlemen of the Navy Yard
had so abundantly provided. The scene here
and in the dancing hall was brilliant in the
extreme, the charming toilettes Of so many
of the handsome New York and Brooklyn
bellies, contrasting picturesquely with the
evening costume of the gentlemen and the
rich uniform of the American and Russian
officers. In the throng were many literary
or social celebrities well known both in
Brooklyn and on the New York side of
the water, but the late hour at which we are
forced to write renders any enumeration i'm
possible. As soon as supper was fairly over
for the majority of the guests. q steady stream
Of people began to set toward the cloak
rooms, and as we left the hall, at about
o'clock. the tide was decidedly tending home
ward. All, however, had ample opportunity
to see and be charmed with the singularly
manly features and kindly manner of our
young guest. He is not only handsome but
he looks like a 'good fellow" and no one
can wonder if many feminine hearts beat pain
fully under their festal gauze and silks at the
thought that the graceful and pleasant young
man is not open to the temptation of their
smiles.
