A Successful Mechanic.

Tho Houston Telegraph gives an
interesting account of u successful
mechanic in Houston that should
be an encouragement to mechanics
everywhere, for, by tho practice OF
equal industry, energy and capaci.
ty, it is reasonable to presume the
same, or nearly the same, success
is within the reach Of every good
mechanic,
Mr., J. II. Parrcgoy was, five
years ago, among the poor labor
ing mechanics in the employ OF the
Central Railroad Company, The
Superintendent wanting n mastor-
carpenter to supply the place ofonc
he had discharged, selected Mr.. T..
for that position. But Mr.. z. be-
ing desirous to occupy higher po-
sition, resigned and commenced
tho business of car building on his
own account. At first he had no
shop and few tools, but he was
equal TO every emergency, and was
soon able, by tho demand for his
superior work, to en- large his bust
ness. From that day to this his
progress, says the Telegraph, has
been upward and onward,
ale is now tho owner of the Ea-
gle Car Works; owns the six acres
of ground upon which his works
arc situated, and in the middle of
which is the treo that sheltered his
first undertaking. He has now his
own buildings, his steam engines,
his switches, sidc-traclks and ma
chinery; works perhaps a hundred
hands; builds fat and box cars by
the hundred for tho Central and
the Great Northern; is ready to
furnish them by the thousand to
any end all roads that are ablo to
pay is worth to-day s75, 1000 lives
in comfort, and has the satisfaction
to sec one Of his daughters united
in wedlocll to son Of Dick West
colt, the old friend who stood by
him with an open purse when ho
was too poor TO have asked assist
ance of anybody"
Tho Bulletin says tho agent OF
the Texas Pacific railroad, who was
lately in Houston, pronounccs the
cars manufactured by Mr.. p. cheap
cr and better constructed than those
he had seen at tho Northern car

ANGoRA GoATs.-The large num-
ber of these animals exhibited at
the iatc California State Fair, held
at Sacramento, shows that tho pro,
duction of the fine fleece clipped
from this variety Of the Cdprd fam
ily is growing into m important
industry, and is now considered of
moro Importance than the raising
of sheep. The Angora is often
misnamcd, being called tho Cash
mere Goat. In Asia, whence tho
stock comes, there are nearly TWEEN
ty varieties of fleece bearing goats, j
and of these tho pure Angora is tho
most valuable. u is known as tho
primitive goat of Angora, district
Of the central portion of Asia MI
nor. The fleece is very valuable
and is made into shawls, ifinges,

WHY NOT F.!
A HOPEFUL AND sTATIsTIcAL VIEW FROM A
COLD FLOODED CALCULATOR.
From tho Cincinnati Commercial.

From tho Cincinnati Commercial.
When Dom Piatt thought to extract
some valuable information from tho spirits
who most do congregatc at DR.. Wolfe's,
and asked Jimmy Nolan "whether Gree
ley was going to be our next President"
that amiable and communicative ghost re :
piled that the querst knew as much abou /
IL as hesdid, and he co I'D only say that he
(Greeley) seems to have frst-rate
chance.
1t would be difficult for spirit bodied
or disembodied, to say that the chances o T
the Sage of Chappaqua are frst-rate since
the result of tho October election was an
nounced. There is n possibility Of sue
cess yet left to the Liberal Republicans
and Democrats, but they must make up
their minds to do without the clectorinl
votes Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and ndd
them to the number that are for Grant.
No doubt the Administration majoritics
in both States, and notably so in Pennsyl-
vania, were largely increased by import
cd votes. Fully ten thousand voters were
colonized in Pennsylvania. The State
would, rs it now appears, have gone for
Hartranft any way, but Simon Cameron
is too expert and experienced pohtician
TO take any risks when he can make as
surance doubly sure, and the means and
material are both at his service.
We do not believe it possible for the Lib
erals and Democrats to rally from the de-
feat of Tuesday to recover lost ground be-
fore the 4th of November. Tho influence
of test elections is usually decisive upon
those that follow, and State that goes
Republican in October is pretty sure to go
the same way q month later. But what
ground can the Liberals and democrats
hold? What States is it possible yet to
carry for Greeloy2
1t is worth while to study the electoral
votes, and their possible division, by the
light of recent events. We assume that
the electoral cotes of the following States
are sure for Grant, though we know it
will be claimed by many that the estimate
10 too liberal.
Dallas herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1849-1873, 1872-10-26

A special N. Y. telegram to tho
Cincinnati Commercial says:
at is currently reported that ST.
mon Cameron, all through tho re-'
cent campaign in Pennsylvania,
had authority to draw on Wall st.
for all the money he needed. Last
week it is said that Henry Clews
contributed $4,000, and other
Grant bankers corresponding sums.
In way reimbursement, Boutwell,
opened his horn Of plenty to tho
extent of $40, 900, 900, and gave Sc,
crct information to the favor, d
financiers. The latter have also
profited enormously by the fall in
gold and the rise in stocks. This
explains how they could afford to-
give a carto blanche to Simon Cam
eron, and Tom Murphy's adherents
last week to bet on Hartraft without
reserve and gave odds. Between
the millions in Wall street and tho
Philadelphia registration, they had
an absolutely sure thing. Came
ron is Car in Pennsylvania, and
there is no help for it under Grant,
Boutwell, and Clcws.'

There must be something done
to prevent those horrible mistakes
of druggists clerks. One Of the
careless fellows lately gave a young
man in Louisville bottle of muci-
lagc instead of cologne. The youth
went to church, and after applying
the contents of the bottle freely 10
his handkerchief and applying the
handkerchief freely TO his nose, he
was in no condition for dcvout wor-
ship. This thing is getting to be
alarming.

Tho r;eld of rold in California

The yield of gold in California
is slowly but steadily decreasing,
whilo miners aud minirg engineers
find larger profit in the silver mines
of Utah, Nevada and Colorado.
But California does not now de-
pcnd for her prosperity on either
gold or silver. The snriacc OF her
broad plains and fertile valleys
Yields moro wealth than was ever
torn from tho bowels Of her noun
tains. The far Western States and
Territories cannot depend Tor per-
manent prosperity on mining M
dustries. A golden temptation unsy
draw emigrants thither, but only
milk and honey can retain them.

Total for Greeley.......... .... .......l62
There remains the four States of Con-
necticut, 6 New Jersey, 0; Indiana, 10;
Arkansas, Gin all SO electoral votes.
The whole number is 36G, and necessary
to choice 1884, Assuming that all these
States cast their votes for Greeley, in ad-
ton to those set down for him, he would
have 1888 electoral votes, or four more than
are required to elect. The most doubtful
of the four is Connecticut. The recent
township elections show considerable
gains for the Liberals and Democrats, or
at least are SO reported. The complete
vote is not yet published. If hc should
lose Connecticut and gain Oregon or Ne
vadn he would still be elected If he
should gain California and lose Arkansas
and some claim that for hint would
not change the result. The loss of Now
Jersey or Indiana, however, wonld be fa-
tai to him, and the scale, so evenly balan-
ced, would turn in favor Of Grant. 1t is
admitted that both are close and uncer-
tain. In 1868 New Jersey was carried
for Seymour and Blair by q majority of
1889, by the republicans in 1870 by 81
423, and by the democrats in 1871, by o.
007. Upon full vote, MS the figures of
these elections show, the democrats will
poll over 81, 600 votes and the Republic
cans n the neighborhood,of 81 00O though
they have never reached that figure yet.
With the detection that exists among Re-
publicans, New Jersey can be credited to
the Greeley side of the balance sheet al
ways providing the bottom don't drop out.
Indiana gave Grant, four years ago,
majority of 9,572, the whole vote being
843, ,532. Two years later it was carried
by the Democrats by majority of2,5oS
upon vote of 1860, orr falling off Of
25,9T2. The Democrats came within g.
92l Of their vote in 1868, while the Repub-
liean loss was comparatively 1861. These
represent the reserves upon the basis Of
1868. But the election Of Tuesday con.
clusiyely shows that sufficient number
of the Republican reserves have gone over
TO the Liberal Democratic movement 10
peutralize the Republican advantage in a
full vote, and probably give the State to
Greeley. If Hendricks is e!ected, ii is
pretty sure that the State goes for Gree
I lev next month, for the Republicans have
strained every nerve, imported voters who
will be needed al home in November, and
used the sinews Of war frceley, TO carry
an election upon The result Of which Sena-
tor Morton's political fortunes depend.
Arkansas was carried for Grent in 1865
by n majority of 3,503 but nobody pre-
tends that il was fair vote. A very large
number Of citizens who labored under po-
litical disabilities then will vote this year
and we may be sure that none Of those
who have suffered from disqualification SC

1 commjssion provided for by resolution OF
CONGRESS were invited, and he was not OF
the humber, having gone 10 tie Island
only as an invited guest. He closes With
| the following peroration, which we submit
in full, as worthy specimen OF Mr.. Dou-
glass, eloquent and forcsble style OF writ
ting:
wherever else there may be room for
doubt and uncertainty there is nothing
of the kind with Ulysses S. Grant as our
candidate.
~. S. Grant and Henry Wilson, the
one from the West and the other form the
East-the soldier and the Senator--are
men in eobom, we may eonfde.
1--WE can NO more array ourselves
against these candidates than we can re-
sumo our chains or insult our mothers.
ave are allied to the Republican party
by every honorable sentiment Of the hu-
man soul.
'~To vote for Messrs. Greeley and Brown
would Justly invite to our heads the con-
tempt and scorn of honest men.
We should not only brand ourselves
as political knaves, but as political fools.
% The keynote of the whole Greeley
movement was sounded by James X. Doo'
little, chairman OF the convention that
nominated Mr.. Greeley. He announced
as one of the objects, overthrow of negro
supremacy" Can any negro be SO blind
as not to see The meaning of this ?
"Such is the record of the wise states
man for whom you cast your great ballot
for President; and for no other than him
can you trust your second. Rally, then
to his support with that resistless spirit
a which you fought for your liberties,
and with the same exultant hope in which
you made General Grant your first Pres
ident with your votes in 1861"
Let those who believe the black man
protected and educated, or that the strong
arm Of Law would be interposed in his
behalf in case the Democatic nominees
should be elected, read carefully our two
brief synopses Of Mr., Douglass letter and
then ask themselves if it is probable that
the men who inaugnratcd and carried on
the rebellion would still permit the colo
red man to enjoy the greatest of all the
fruits of our victory
