Dirt.

Old DR.. Cooper, of South Carolina,
used to say to his students: "Don't be
afr aid of dirt, young gentlemen. What
is dirt? Why, nothing at all offensive,
when chemically viewed. Rub little
alkali upon the dirty grease spots on
your coat, and it undergoes chemical
change and becomes soaps now rub it
with little water and it disappears. 1t
is neither grease, soap, water, nor dirt.
That is not very odorous pile of dirt
you see yonder; we'll, scatter little
gypsum over it and it is no longer dirty.
Everything like dirt is worthy of our
notice as students of chemistry. Analyze
it; it will separate into very clean ele-
ments. Dirt makes corn, corn makes
bread and meat, and that makes very
sweet young lady, that saw one Of You
kissing last night. So. after all, you
were kissing dirt, particularly if she
whitened her face with chalk or fuller's
earth; though I may say that rubbing
such stuff upon beautiful skin of a
young lady is a dirty practice. Pearl
powder, think, is made of bismuth-
nothing but dirt. Lord Palmerston's
fine definition of dirt is matter in the
wrong place. Put it in the right place
and we cease to think of it as dirt"

Queries BY our Absent Man.

Did you ever write letter to dead
relation, and only find your mistake out
when you wanted the address?
Did you ever stand for three-quarters
of an hour before the glass wondering
where on earth you had seen that face
before
Did you ever 60 on singing verse Of
a hymn after the congregation had fin
ished some time?
Did you ever light cigar with ten
pound note, and then stick the ligl ted
end in your mouth
Did you ever meet your father in the
street, and wonder for fifteen minutes
who that rum-looking old buffer was?
Did you ever run about until the per-
spiration trickled from your two brows
looking fer your pen and spectacles, one
of which was behind your ear and the
other on your forehead?
Did you ever take up anybody else's
change for your own?
Did you ever hang yourself over the
back of chair in place of your top-coat ?
Did you ever pay your tailor in an
absent mood ?
And did you ever sprinkle your straw
berries with salt, pocket the silver forks,
drink out of your fnger-glass, or scratch
somebody else's back for your own?

making a total of $40 Electoral votes (184
being necessary to choice). 1t is probable
that several other States from which, at this
hour, we have no returns, having also voted
for Grant and Wilson. Before printing the
other side of our paper we will be enabled to
present fuller returns, and probably a fair
estimate of the popular vote.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Tbe vote of the city is

Tremaine, 5000; Cox, Is, 598.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. e,-Grant will carry the
State of Indiana by over 20, 600 ma jority.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.-This city gives Greeley
about 8 1000 majority. The State has probably
gone for HIM. Grosvenor, Liberal Republi-
can, is elected to Congress in the First Dis
trict, and Stone, Democrat, in the Third
District
ST. PAUL, Nov. 6.-Grant makes a clean
sweep in Minnesota. His majority will be

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-Maryland has gone for
Greeley by probably 5000 majority. The Re-
publicans gain one member of Congress.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 6.-The returns indi-
cate that Grant has carried the State by 49, 900
majority.

scarcely well animal in the city, and every
thing wears a Sabbath-llke appearance. The
express companies are utilizing oxen and
clerks to move their freight.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.-There is no abatement
in the horse disease here.
THE PLAGUE TRAVELLING SOUTH.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Nearly all the horses
in the city are afflicted, and all the cars and
buses have stopped running. In Balti-
more all means of conveyance have been
stopped, and the disease prevails TO an alarm
ing extent, nearly every horse being affected.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Observation-Disclosures
of the horses in the city are affected includ
ing the Presidents fancy stock. Man power

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-Nsarly every horse in
the city is afflicted with the prevailing cpl
demic. Not vehicle is to be seen on the
street.
NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 6.-The horse disease

here, and many in the surrounding country.
The street-cars have stopped running.
GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Nov. 6.-The horse dis

CHARLESTON, s. c., Nov. 6.-The horse dis
ease has broken out here. A majority of the
work horses and mules in the city are more or
less affected.
APPEARANCE OF THE DISEASE IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The horse disease has
appeared IN several places In DevonShlre. 1t
is especially severe in Tiverton and vicinity.
TREATMENT OF THE DISEASE.
Of course at such a time remedies are COM
mon enough, and nearly every one hasa sure
cure for the disease. The English plan is to
burn few ounces of common sulphur on a
pan Of Goals, five or six times daily, so that
every part of the stable may become fumi-
gated. The animal at the same time is we'll
cared for and blanketed. This simple remedy
it is said never fails to cure.
Mr.. Choate, of Boston, says that in his
opinion carbolic acid and chloride of lime
have had most beneficial results in preventing
the spread of the distemper, and that if the
former was thoroughly used before any
symptoms of the malady appeared in stables,
none OF it would be seen. The prescription
which he values most highly, because of re-
suits noticed, is the following
Sulphur, o.; poatssa nitrate, o.; pull
verified ginger, or. pulverized dignitalis, 1
OF. The dose, tablespoonful, may be given
with the food when the horse will eat, with
water, or laid upon the tongue when nourish-
ment and food are refused. The effect Is al
most Immediate the cough subsidies, the ca
tarrhal indications grow less, the fever ceases
and appetite is resumed.

The Greatest Bore in America.

The great work of boring through
the Hoosac Mountain is steadily pro-
crossing; the progress made in Septem-
Der was 80 feet. The total length Of
the tunnel now opened is 20,S09 feet,
leaving 1925 feet to be tunneled.
There is central shaft from which
workmen excavate toward the east and
west, while from the outside parties are
working from both directions toward
the center. The rock remaining to be
bored is in two separate parts. Between
the east end and the central shaft only
669 feet remain, and at the present
rate of work this will be penetrated in
less than six months, when but little
more than 5000 feet will have to be cut
through to finish the undertaking.
