How TO DESTROY MUsKEToEs.-The
strongest crystallized carbolic acid should
be placed in bottle, and covered with
the same quantity of strong red cod-liver
oil shake the bottle thoroughly until a
whitish-colored foam appears; if such
foam does not arise, however. a small
quantity Of powdered lime should be adj
ded, with a little water. Pour the mix
ture into a dish or other convenient arti-
ticle, and place directly under the open
window, as it IS from that quarter the
musketo enters. In my humble opinion,
the effect should be explained in this
manner: The moment the musketo en-
tiers, it loses the scent of blood for as
the combined odor of the oil and acid is
much more powerful than of blood, it
follows as a consequence that the mus
keto becomes suddenly perpleXed. The
consequence is, shat after scrambling
and skirmisling about in the dark, the
musketo is led, as it were, instinctively
into the mixture, where it is either
drowned in the oil or burned to death BY
the acid. Formerly / was accustomed
TO smear my face, arms and breast with
the strong oil alone, but | frequently
arose in the morning smelling so terribly
that, though it protected me from mus
keto bites, / was happy to lay it aside
/ have slaughtered more musketoes with
the article explained above than ever /
could have done with my fists or any
other dangerous weapons. C0rresp0a-
dent Of the Scientific american.

Observation-Disclosures Ablaze with

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S-l2:45 A. M.
I have had talk with the new Governor Of Penn
sylvania He s:-''The effect OF this days work
win give Grant majority of 100 900 In this State"
This Ia co. 900 better than Forney gives. Referring
to Curtin, the Governor says:-"I have always been
CURTIN's FRIEND,
and have helped him on two or three
very important occasions. In 1869 he sent
for me meet him at William B. Manns
Office and proposed to have me then accept the
nomination for Governor. ! did not want IL then.
The main condition OF his proposal was that
should be his man. This was all right. l did not
expect to be the friend OF any one else to Curtin's
exclusion; but the State was very close then and
did not care for the nomination. Curtin has
ACTED VERY BADLY
towards me In this fght.n
informed Governor Hartranft that Curtin had
said publicly in his speeches and privately to
myself that he entertained no feelings OF personal
hostility, but this opposition arose from the fact
that he (Hartranit) was the nominee OF corrupt
ring.
The Governor merely smiled at my explanation Of
Curtln's course, and continued
"McClurc mas acted more n0nOraDly IMAM eltnef
Forney or Curtin in the fight. He was my warm
friend when was nominated, and continued to re
main until he left, because he was obliged to do
30, to fight Grant" Curtin is condemned in unmeas-
ured terms by all his former friends, and accused
oil sides of trcachery to those who have helped to
elevate him In former years. Curtin and F0rney are
TWO DEAD DUCKS POLITICALLY.
II republican representations are to be believed,
Mcclure cannot be killed. He never dies for more
than week at time, and we will see him with
winning crowd yet. Forney begins to feel the
force Of what Andy Johnson said Of him tonight,
and hereafter Texas Pacific Railroad affairs will
possess good deal more interest than ordinary
railroad affairs.
At this hour twelve O'Clock, there is still large
crowd at the League House and the excitement is
undated.
THE GOVERNOR GIVES SOME NEWS.
Governor Hartranft made short speech, thank
ing his friends and commencing the republican
party. He ended by Affirming the party to be
stronger than ever Reports from Ohio are very
cheering to the republicans. Late dispatches
claim 10000 majority In that State, ana the state
ment Is again on the rise.
The streets are lined with
TORCHLIGHT PROFESSIONS
and from present appearances people will get over
the effect or the overwhelming maorities only with
the advent Of the light of day. Throughout all the
excitement hear of but few disturbances, and
none OF them OF serious nature.
