WOMANLY MOnESTY.

Man loves the mysterious. A cloudless
sky, the full-blown rose, leaves him unmov.
ed, but the violet which hides its blushing
beauties behind the bush, and the moon
when she emerges from behind cloud, are
TO him sources of inspiration and pleasure.
MOdesty is to merit Whist shade is to figures
Of painting-it gives it boldness and promi-
nence. Nothing adds more to female beau
ty than mOdesty; it sheds around the coun-
tenance halo oflight, which is borrowed
from virtue. BOtanists have given to the
rosy hue which tinges the cup of the white
rose the name of ''maiden blush" This
pure snd delicate hue is the only paint
Christian virgins should use; it isShe rich
est ornament. A woman without modesty
is like a faded flower, which diffuses an un-
wholesome odor, and which the prudent
gardener will throw from him. Her desti-
ny is melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty passes like the
flower of the albO, which blooms and dies
in few hours; but modesty gives the fe-
male character charms which supply the
place Of the transitOry freshness of youth.

The Cincinnati City Election.
Nip and Tuck.


CINCINNATI, April 1.-The city election
went off quietly to-day by the new wards.
The whole county votes for a Board of
Control and County Solicitor. Party lines
are not drawn closely anywhere. There is
much scratching. The city election is for
two Judges of the Superior Court and for
ward officers.
LATER-Returns of the city and county
election come in slowly. Only one ward
and two precincts heard from. There has
been much scratching. The returns thus
far show Democrats for one office and Re-
publicans for another in the same wards,
running far in advance of their opponents.
The slow counting at the polls will probably
render sending anything like complete re-
turns ta-night impossible.
LATEST.-Seven wards and precincts
heard from. Democratic Judges will al
most certainly be elected. Yaple leads his
opponent for Judge by 1900. The other
Democratic candidate for Judge, O'Conner,
has two Republican opponents.
The vote for County Board of Control is
nearly even, with slight advantage to the
Republicans.
The Republican for Trustee Of Water
Works is 400 ahead.
The Democratic candidate for Street
Commissioner is about 400 ahead.
The Republican candidates for director
of the city infermery and magistrate each
about 100 ahead.
Indications are that the next Board of
COuncilmen will be Democratic, and the
Board of Aldermen slightly Republican.
The county vote will not be heard from
tonight. Democratic Solicitor 400 ahead.
Scattering has been so extensive that re-
turns viii be unusually late.
CINCINNATI, April 2, l A. M-The
thousand ahead. The Democratic Solicitor
will be elected by large majority.
The Democratic candidates for city off,
GERS are largely ahead, except for Trustee
of WateTwOrks, where the Republican
leads.
Yaple and O'Connor, Democratic candi-
dates for judges of the Superior Court will
undoubtedly be elected.
A Liberal Reform Defeat.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April AT the
charter election to-day the entire Republi-
can ticket was successful over the Liberal
Reform ticket by an average majority of
over one thousand with six out Of eleven
councimen.
The New York Democracy.
NEW YORK, April Ia meeting of the

choosing delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.

The returns up to this hour of writing
indicate the election Of Gov. Jewell. The
Nutmeg State is closely contested field
where the slightest detection from the Rad
ical ranks would turn the scales. But our
Reunion Reformers seem to have gained
no foothold there yet; and the able
speeches Of Schurz, denouncing the domin-
ant corruption, and scattered over New
England for months past, have made no
perceptibIe impression on the land IF steady
habits. Probably national politics had little
bearing on the result; and those who regard
it as an administration triumph, securing
Connecticut for Grant, may find themselves
eqqgiously mistaken.

THE DEACON's REToRT.

The deacon was not very much behind II
the following story be true. In a small
town on the Schuylkill river, there is a
church in which the singing had run down.
1t had been led many years by one of the
deacons, whose voice and musical powers
had been gradually failing. One evening
the clergyman gave out the hymn, which
was in an odd measure, rather harder than
usual, and the deacon led off. Upon its
conclusion the minister said: "Bro. B.
will please repeat the hymn, as l can not
pray after such singing!' The deacon very
composedly pitched into another tune, and
the clergyman proceeded with his prayer.
Having finished, he took up the book to
give out the second hymn, when he was in
terrupted by the deacon gravely getting up
and, In voice audible to the whole con-
gregatiop, saying: "Will Bro. B. make an
other prayer? 1t would be impossible for
me to sing after such prayer as that. ~

THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
Over 900 Shocks of Earthquake.
Lava Pouring down the Mountains.
Rivers Turned Backward in Their
COUPse.

Rivers Turned Backward in Their
Course.
SAN Francisco, March 31.-Additional
advices in lingo county place the number
killed by the earthquake at twenty; wound
ed, one hundred.
In Desert county, stretching from Owens
lake to the Mexican line, are the craters of
innumerable volcanoes not long extinct, and
several mud volcanoes active. 1t is sup
posed that some of these old volcanoes may
be eruptivs again.
A gentleman from Independence asserts
that smoke and ashes from volcanoes are
distinctly seen southwark from that place,
and word has been brought there that lava
has been flowing down the mountain. This
is not authenticated. The shocks con-
tinued decreasing in force up to Thurs 'ay
morning, when over a thousand had been
counted.
At Tibbett's rancho, fifteen miles above
independence, forty acres of ground sunk
seven feet below the surface of the sur
rounding country.
Big Owen Lake has risen four feet since
the first shock.
Owens river ran over its banks, deposit
ing shoals of fish on shore after it receded,
for distance of three or four miles.
Through Lone Pine the earth cracked,
and one side remained stationary, while the
other sank seven or eight feet, leaving a wall
of earth extending three miles in length,
where formerly was level plain. Innum-
cradle cracks were made throughout the
valley.
Kern and Owens rivers turned and ran
ND stream for several minutes, leaving their
beds dry, and finally returned with largely
increased volume.
No parallel to this earthquake has oc-
Cured since 1872, when the missions of
San Juan, Cspestians, and Saperessima, in
Southern California, were destroyed. OF
course it is a matter of common converse
ton in California, but has created not the
slightest apprehension outside the district
affected.

Desperate Straits of the Revolution.

Desperate Straits of the Revolution.
Annexation TO the United States Their
Last Resort.
MATAMoRAs, March 3I.-The revolu-
tionists are straining every nerve to raise
money, without which their cause will soon
be lost, they are levying contributions
every where and compelling foreigners and
natives alike to pay them. The American
Consul and other American merchants in
Monterey refused, when their stores were
entered and goods taken by the rebels.
They sent copy ofthe instructions received
from Washington not to contribute toward
the support Of the revolution to the rebel
government, and it was treated with con-
tempt.
Commissioners have arrived to represent
matters to Gen. McCOOk and ask for pro-
lection, but of course he is powerless. The
commissioners report general demoralizs-
ton among the reYOlutiOnists. Their SOL
diers are all forced into service. They have
no volunteers. The mass of the people is
opposed to the revolution.
Its leaders, however, are determined to
starve rather than be beaten. They will
declare Republic in Sierra Madra, call on
filibustering Americans and ask for annexa-
ton to the United States. They have al
ready established recruiting offices in
Texas.
Small bands are fighting in Tamaulipas
with great success, but their movements
are of no importance and the Jaurez Off
GERS there are awaiting events. The Revo-
lutionists again promise an early attack on
Matamoras.

WASHINGTON, March 31-Col. Thomas
Florence, editor ola Democratic paper here,
makes the following political announce
ment to-day:
l. A most formidable, deeply-laid plan
has been developed here i'll regard to the
coming contest for President.
2. Many of the leading and influential
Conservatives and Republicans have firmly
united to insure the defeat of Gen. Grant,
and have perfected arrangements so that,
within the next twenty days, meetings will
be held in Boston and elsewhere for the
purpose of sending delegates to the Cincin-
natl Convention.
8. Ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, who
will return here within the next two weeks,
having resigned his mission to St. Peters
burg, will be nominated for Vice-President,
having been in training in France, through
correspondence from the United States,
for the past three months, preparatory to
this political race.
4. State Senator Mcclure, of Pennsylva-
mia, whose election and admission to his
seat is looked upon as death-bloW to Gen.
Grants reelection, will take the field
against the Administration.
3. Ex-Representative in Congress Moore
head, of Pittsburg, Penn, will also take the
field against Gen. Grant.
6. The State of Pennsylvania will, under
the circumstances, certainly give fifty thOus
and majority against the reelection of Gen.
Grant.

Where Are the Reunion RefOrmers.
HARTFORD, Ct, April Fifty three
towns out of the total of 166 show loss to
Jewell Of 123. This is afser adding to
| the Democratic vote 54S votes in those
towns for Gillette, Temperance, and Al for
Harrison, Labor Reform. It does not in
clude the vote of Hartford, which is 90
plurality for Jewell, nor of New Haven,
which gives Hulibord 581 plurality. A
net Republican gain in those towns OF
nearly 1000 votes. Waterbury, Vernon,
and two or three ether towns will give some
democratic gains. 1t looks as if Jewell
was elected by the people. There is a net
republican gain Of six Representatives In
% towns. In Hartford City the Republi-
cans elect Henry V, Robinson, Mayor, by
over 800 majority, and all their city ticket.
NEW HAVEN, April 1.-The entire Re-
publican State ticket is elected beyond
doubt.
HARTFORD, April 1.-The returns from
ninety towns show loss of 90 votes for
Jewell, counting Hubbard's total vote 900.
Temperance and Labor Reform votes
against him. This does not count New
Haven which gives Hubbard only 395 over
all.
NoRwALK, CT, April LIT is impossible
to get all the towns in this tonight, owing
to the bad reads The vote of Fairfield
county falls off from last year. One Re-
publican and two Democratic Senators are
elected. The Republicans gain six Repre-
sentatives as far as heard from. Seeds,
Democrat, is elected Sheriff.
Latest.
HARTFORD, CT, April 1-Returns from
124 towns give Jewell $500, Hubbard
34,326, Gillette 1,142, and Harrison 2S4.
JEWELS majority over all is 621, JEWELS
gain as against the field compared with last
year is SIG in 70 towns.
The Republicans have net gain of four
Representatives. The Senate will certainly
stand as well as last year, Is to with a
good chance of being IA to 7. 1t looks now
if Jewell may have been elected by the
people. ----
The day was mostly clear, with strong
west winds and occasional snow squalls.
The roads are deep with mud and the vote
not as large as last year.
I HARTFORD, April 1.-HartfOrd gives
Jewell 3,481; Hubbard 3,459; Gillette 81;
Harrison 81.
NEW HAVEN, April 1.-The following is
the vote of New Haven: Jewell, 4,094;
Hubbard, 4,674; Gillette, Al; Harrison, 1876.
The Senate stands 10 Republicans to 6
Democrats. The Republicans gain largely
in the House Of Representatives. The Re
publican State ticket is elected.
No Great Gains After All.
HARTFORD, April 2, A. M-If towns
unheard fIom go same as last year the result
will not be changed. JEWELS plurality is
2,074; majority over all 2S9.
The Senate will probably stand IA Re-

The dispatch from Cincinnati, which says

ing all Republicans and Democrats in favor
of reform to send delegates to Cincinnati,
has been very generally misconstrued in

means a reform convention called in Gin
cinnati some time ago, and which meets at
the same time as the National Liberal Re
publican Convention. The leaders Of the
