GAMBLING ON THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEW YORK, Oct.30. -Pool-selling On the election
Aourishes nightly at the corner Of Broadway and
Twenty-eighth street. The sportsmen On the
Custom House side give slight odds on each Of
the Northern States going for Grant. They ven
ture nothing large, however, On Indians, New
York, or New jersey. The betting Oh Mayor
ranges st.: O'Brien, $100; Hayemeyer, S95 !;
Lawrence, S45. On the GoYe1norship, Dix leads
Herman slightly.
Tue polyglot Grant meeting here to which
seven or eight different nationalities we're in
vited, was {. mirth-provoking affair. After the
resoluti ons were read to the babel OF foreigners,
the chorus Of the Lucca Opera Company rose in
the audience and furnished GONE Administration
logic in the form Of music.
United States Commissioner Davenport dis
posed Of Mr. Hea1ey's case, to-day, by su1ki1y
granting an honorable discharge. Davenport
turned fairly yellow as the evidence accumulated
that l1r. Healeys residence was precisely as rep
resented, and he glared at the reporters as, in q
manner full ct chagrin, he proceeded to release
his victim without apology. Mr. Healey will sue
Davenport for false imprisonment.
The eolid men Of the Grant persuasion in
New York, who signed recent sectarian circu-
Igious crusade, and to inspire their congrega-
tions to do like work in opposing Herman, be-
cause he is Catholic, are nearly all pleading
that they never signed the document. They de-
cline, however, to denounce the Sec
retary who signed their names,
or to call him to account. Mr.. Beers, Secretary
of the Council Of Political Reform, being inter,
viewed by reporter, told at least part Of the
truth when he said: "None OF the Executive
Committee saw that document until it WAS
printed, except Mr. Putnam and myself, It WIS
not intended for the public at al. It was meant
for the clergy only"

Trip TO REDDING.-On Sunday after:
noon we paid flying visit to Redding, the
present terminus of the California and
Oregon Railroad The day was a most
disagreeable one, and could not have been
worse chosen, to form a good idea of the
business and Improvements going on. The
oak trees and underbrush stand so thick as
vet that many of the buildings now being
erected can not te seen unless searched for,
but this condition of things will not last
long. We found several Shastians located
and doing business there; G. G. Bush e.
Co., have on hand heavy stock of Gro
ceries Hardware, Grain and miscellaneous
articles, and appears to have on excellent
run of custom. j. N. Chappelis in charge
of the freight department at the Rail Road
Depot with Samuel Gilbert as assistant
NJ. S Babcock is the agent of Wells, Fargo
& Co., Leroy has his restaurant pretty
we'll fitted up and is doing good business,
the same may be said of Thompson Il Co.,
Isaacs has branch clothing store and
Schroter a branch saddler and harness shop
for the present they occupy the same
building. The work on Stewards hotel
is being pushed as rapidly as possible, it
will be fine building when completed
A number of sleeping apartments are now
ready, and others soon will be, thus sup
plying what is much needed. Miller, of
Red Bluff, has furniture and upholster
ing store, while Close & Tiffin do general
black. smithing. We saw the sign of 'Reubs
Corral short distance from the depot,
aud learn thai another corral and barn
will soon be ready for the accommodation
of teamsters and horsemen. Our old friend
"Kiefer Joe" has moved down with his
family, Mrs. Schwing being the first Shasta
lady to move to the new town. We learn
that they will establish a bakery. The
Rail Road Depot is good building for its
purposes. Butler q Jaynes have their
forwarding Office there at present There
are other business establishments there,
but our time in the town was so brief that
we did not have fair opportunity to see all
"the sights" but hope to have more time to
spare On some future occasion. The loca-
tion of Redding is well chosen, being on the
table lands about half mile from the river,
at an altitude of some eighty feet above Its
bed. We would advise the good citizens
of that burg to "spare the trees" which
grow SO thickly there-a town without
shade trees looks desolate enough. We
believe too, that natural growth of timber
contributes much to the general health of
any locality by shading the ground from
the suns hot rays The road between
Redding and Shasta needs considerable
work on it. The passage ofheavy freight
ing teams has worn it badly in places,
making it rough travelling. We have
heard teamsters say they had rather haul
an equal distance up the grade of Trinity
Mountain than from Redding to Shasta.
Steps should at once be taken to have the
road placed and kept in good order

Happiness.

Do We not mistake, when We consider
happiness, as we sometimes do, as that
emotion OF joyousbess, that presents it
self, rs we move in the glitter, and glow,
of social pleasure. It is that enjoyment
that we feel when any OF the gratifying
scenes OF life are pussing US by today,
that tomorrow shall he known only in
the past. Nor is real happiness to be
found where it is often sought, where
tho only MIN is our own selfish feelings,
the gratifying oI the desire to destroy
tho thought OF q hereafter, in scenes OF
present hilarty and mirth. But il we
would fud happiness that is deep and
abiding, that none OF the little storms OF
life can disturb, then let US arouse to
some noble aud pure work Of love, that
shall be u benefit to ourselves, to our
friends, or to the world at large. When
ever we yield our will to tho wishes Of
others, we become better, and when We
strive to DO better, our happiness will
certainly increase. Whenever We make
4 sacrifice, whenever we cultivate and
improve ourselves, Crby constant
watching, or earnest effort, We rid our.
selves Of fault, then We find that true
happiness that alone is worthy the name,
and that is pure and substantial joy.
We arc progressive beings, and live in
world OF improvement, and only us
our Advancement is constant, shall wc be
able to keep our position in society, and
surely II we SEQ those that have oceu.
pied place by our side, or in some
lower walk OF life passing by US to q
sphere, from which they will look down
on us, ii will DO Obstructive TO our peace
OF mind, IL we have any moral ambition
or pride. Then let US oil, even ut the
expense OF tho most labOrious effort
and exhausting toll, reach that highest
position attainable, and thus WELD our
greatest power for good. and receive the
richest recOmponse Of happiness.
