THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.

By the dispatches in last evenings pa
pers We get the following:
PHILADELPHIA, October S-A full vote
is being polled in this city. The election
is progressing very quietly under the new
law that all taverns shall be closed. The
United States Marshal has 800 special
officers on duty, distributed among the
wards where trouble is likely to occur.
Up to noon no serious trouble was re-
ported. In the Sixth Ward, the strong
est Democratic ward in the city, the hour
ly announcement of votes cast shows that
more Republican votes have already been
cast than is usually polled during whole
day.
CINCINNATI, October S.-The election
is quietly proceeding throughout the city
A very large vote is being polled. I'm
usual precaution is taken by the Mayor
in the Sixth Ward, the scene of last
nights disturbance, to mhintain the
peace. An IrishEan who WAS swearing
vengeance against the colored people,
was arrested to-day, and on being taken
to the stationhouse was relieved of a pis-
tol and cartridges which he had in his
pocket. Aside from this there has been
little use tor the details of police which
have been provided to guard against
trouble in this ward where the colored
people largely reside. The indications
are that the day VIII pass without serious
disturbance.

Resculng the Fallen.
from tho 5. F. Republican

In the town of Maiden, Mass, there
lived q respectable family, Of moderate
means, by the name OF Roland. It
consisted Of husband, wife, grown up
daughter and q little son. The daugll-
ter was intelligent, comedy and fair to
behold. Naturally she attracted the
attention Of the opposite sex In a great
degree, and quite a rivalry for her
good graces sprang up among the
swains Of her native village. But an
outsider-a dashing young sprig from
Boston-came, saw and conquered.
He possessed q glib tongue, sported
stunning iewelry. aud took the young
girls by storm. The parents did not
view the apparent admlrer Of their
daughter with her partial eyes. In
fact, they discouraged his attentions
and did all In their power to break up
the Intimacy existing between them.
Finally the young girl suddenly dis
appeared, and the presence Of the
Boston sport was no longer noticed In
the streets Of Maiden. The conclusion
was Irresistible. The pair had fled to-
gether. Were they married? What
had been the fate OF the daughter?-
we're the agonizlng and puzzling ques-
tons that presented themselves to the
minds OF the parents. Months rolled
by, aud no tidings Of the missing
couple were heard. Nearly ayear had
passed when information reached the
afflicted parents that their loved and
mourned daughter was In this city.
| Hither the mother fastened as fast as
steam could convey her. Arrived here,
she discovered, after diligent search,
that her daughter was an Inmate Of a
n,dison de joi on Sacramento street.
With an officer Of the law she visited
the den, and there found her child,
who, with shedding tears, related her
sad experience. The fiashy Boston
| scoundrel had deceived and betrayed
and then deserted her In st. Louis.
| Ashamed to return home, she had
worked her way here by means any
thing but reputable and entered upon
. life of shame. The daughter was
anxious to escape from the den Of In.
fanny Into which sho had fallen,
Against the protests of the Madame
the mother took her child away, and
Wednesday OF last week started with
her for the old home In the East. The
whereabouts OF the man who seduced
the too coniding maiden Is unknown,
but he Is believed to be In the vicinity
Of Salt Lake City.

Violation Of Patents.

The United States Supreme Court
has recently decided that new patent
able inventions may consist entirely In
a new combination of Ingredients,
whereby a new and useful result Is OBJ
tanned, and that In such cases the de-
scription OF the invention IL sufficient
il the Ingredients are named, their
mode Of operation given, and the re-
suit obtained polluted out, SC that those
skilled In the art and the public may
know the nature and extent OF the I'M
provement, and what the facts are that
operate to produce the described re-
suit. The suit In which this decision
was made had been brought to recover
for al alleged Infringement Of a pat
ent for improvements In steam en-
gines, and the Court below had ruled
that the combination Of mechanical
devices used by the defendant was an
infringement.

CoxIHo EvENTs-Durlng q recent
conversation between Hon. Henry
Wilson and q member Of the staff OF
the New York Herald, the Vice Presi-
dent elect remarked that Canada
would belong to the United States be-
fore this generation had passed away;
that probably several Of the northern
provinces OF Mexico would "come to
u.s. too" and that 1--WE would have n
controlling influence In the West In
dies" Mr.. Wilson also thinks that
before many years this country will
have q population larger than that OF
Europe.
Notwithstanding the above item,
We judge from the tone Of most of our
Eastern exchanges that the people Of
these United States are not yet pre-
pared for such an indlscriminate plan
Of annexation; nor do we believe that
the Administration contemplates such
an idea. The more conservative por-
tion Of our people think that our coun-
try Is large enough already.

ACCIDENTAL SHoT.-L Last Saturday
afternoon, says the Sacramento Union,
IS a son Of Robert Williamson, of the
Capital Nursury Of this city, and an
other boy Of the same age-sixteen
years-named Mcdonald. were in a
boat hunting ducks In a slough below
the city. near the Pocket, the former
was accidentally shot by his compan-
lou. 1t seems that Mcdonald, having
a chance to kill some birds, fired one
barrel of his gun at them, and attempt
ed to give them a second shot, but the
trigger pulled hard, and tho strength
he used to pull it of depressed the
muzzle OF the gun { o such an extent
that the charge passed directly over
the top Of the head Of his companion,
who was sitting in front, going
through his hat. carrying away the
scalp on top Of his head aud tracturing
the skull. As soon as possible he was
brought to the city, and under ekillful
surgical treatment Is doing well.

Mr.. ereeIey's Personal Habits.

Much has been said Of Mr.. Greeley's
eccentricities, especially by the So
called correspondents of the country
press. One Of these, facetiously cor
recting the other, said Of him:
Perhaps I ought to say here that the
common impression about Greeley's
mode of life Is not correct. While Ia
the city, away from his home up the
Hudson, he does not, as Is generally
supposed, board at the pie and peanut
stands on the Park, nor does he sleep
on a hard sofa In ore Of the back rooms
Of the Tribune office. He eats at the
Maison Dore, and has a nice room In
Twenty-fourth Ptreet, handsomely fur
nished with election returns and tariff
statistics. The rumor that when he
comes to town on Monday morning he
brings five days rations Of boiled tur-
nips from his farm, to last him till
Friday night, when he returns to his
rural home, Is also without foundation.
He has recently made 800, 700 out OF
his Conflict" and feels quite rich, OF
course. In fact, 1t is said he was seen
the other day hanging IN the verge of a
tailor shop In the Bowery, and people
need not be surprised to hear Of his
having q new coat before many days.
Aud another writer says Of him:
Several hundred volumes have been
written upon Mr. Greeley's peculiar
and sloyenly dress, which, like every
thing else connected with him, has
been grossly ca%ricatured. He Is mel
ther a Brummel nor a D'Orsay sarto-
rally. He wears i -fashioned clothes
and puts them on carelessly. His
pantaloons sometimes slip up to his
boot-tops and his cravat to one side,
but he Is too busy to notice such trlfles.
He IL always scrupulously neat. His
linen, though often crlmp and crum'
pied. is Immediately clean, and his
garments are rarely ragged or thread.

SUCCESS.

Wa ara most Of US In speaking OIL
man who has been very successful IN
business, apt to attribute 1t to good luck.
This As general thing. whom the per-
son spoken Of Is engaged In a legiti-
m..e occupation, IS mistake. 1t will
b. found on examination that the Sc
Graf OF hi. success may be, and should
be. attributed to good management
and judgment. The secret Of so many
falling In business may be generally
sscribed to the want Of system In car
rying II on. In this age Of fierce COM
petition no man need expect to sue
coed unless he pays the closest stten-
ton to all the details Of his occupa-
don. We frequently hear the remark
made that 1t Is surprising that such q
man does not succeed as he Il such q
hard worker. Now, the secret OF
many Of such failures Is patent to all
rejecting persons. Such men do not
work to advantage. They have often
energy, but are without judgment. II
We look about Us how often We notice
.rnen, who, with abundant energy,
have no more brains than 8 sheep, and
are therefore incompetent to manage
I'M business and osn DO usefully en-
ployed only under the direction OF
others. Some have the good sense TO
zee this, and are content to have their
work ehalked out for them, and In the
employ Of men Of judgment they I'LL
their appropriate sphere In life with
credit to themselves. Others again,
With great energy and no Judgment,
rush Into business or occupations
which they are totally incapacltated
TO all, and the result Is ig%nominious
failures. While We car but deplore
the n~lsfortunes Of such mon, We
should not DO surprised at their non
success. No man can manage any
business successfully unless he has
good judgments and makes himself
thoroughly acquainted with all the
details Of the business, attends to II
faithfully and has system and method
In conducting It. We often see \ man
with great energy and but little judg'
msnt, and on the contrary we fire.
qusntly see . man with great judg'
msnt and no energy. Wherever both
arc combined In one you see a man o.
