THE ELECTIONS.

So close have been the figures of
the late election, that it has been diff
ficult to arrive at the true result.
One thing is certain, every body was
taken by surprise, both Democrats
and Republicans, when it was an
nounced that Allen was probably
elected. AS the returns came in
slowly and the count was close, the
anxiety was great. Although the
official returns are not all in yet,
enough is known to assure the elec-
tion of Alien for governor. The
rest of the State ticket is Republi-
can by majority of from four to
eight hundred. The Legislature is
Democratic by majority of fifteen
on joint ballot. We trust the Re-
publicans have learned lesson that
they will remember a short time at
least. The Democrats are entitled
to clear out their cobwebbed throats
with shout over their unexpected
success, and there is not the slight
est fear that they will not shout loud
enough. We hope they will yell so
loud as to awaken Republicans to a
sense of their folly in staying away
from the polls through overconfi-
dence.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

In Georgia, at least, if in no 9TH
? er Southern State, the people seem
to have wisely made up their minds
that the time has fully arrived for
the pursuit of other industries be-
side that of cotton growing. One OF
the finest copper mines in the coun
try has just been developed in that
State, and we see it stated that a
single county along will this year
produce upwards of million dol
lars worth of iron, lumber and lime.
Some Of the papers predict that in
ten years the iron inter ests of the
State will surpass the cotton crop.

DOES IT HELP THE CAUSE.

The prollibitionists who helped
on the Democratic victory of last
week by their persistence in voting
their hopeless State ticket, will no
doubt be delighted to learn that
Governor Allen" is smoothing the
congratulations of his friends and
supporters with something that he
assures them "bas been in his cellar
thirteen years." The Prohibition
party is doing some valuable work,
but running an independent ticket
drawn from the Republican ranks, is
no part of it.

UNUSUAL CONVENTION.

A Convention somewhat out of the
usual order is now in session a,
Denver, Colorado. 1t is composed
of prominent men from the trans.
Missouri States and Territories, and
its objects are to devise means tc
secure thorough system of irriga.
ton in that part of our country. To
this end it is proposed that Con.
gress be memorialized to grant GER
tain unsold lands, nd other privi-
leges,so as to give the needed means
to carry out successfully the project
which is somewhat similar in its fea-
lures to that which was adopted
some years ago for the reclamation
of swamp lands.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

The approaching close of another
year bripg with it the occasion fol
the renewal of Thanksgiving and the
acknowledgement to the Almighty
Rnler of the universe for the unnum-
bered mercies which he has bestow-
ed upon us.-Abundant harvests
have been among the rewards of in
dustry. With local exceptions,
health has been among the blessings
enjoyed. Tranquility at home and
peace with other nations have pre-
vailed. Frugal industry is regaining
its merlted recognition and its re-
wards. Gradually, but under the
providence of God surely, as we
trust, the nation is recovering from
the lingering results of a dreadful
civil strife. For these and all other
mercies vouchsafed, il becomes us
as people to return heartfelt ac-
knowledgements, and with our
thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and tenn
porary suffering.
therefore recommend, that on
Tuesday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respec-
tive places of worship to make ac-
knowledgements to Almighty God
for His bounties and His protection
and to offer to him prayers for their
continuance.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affix-
ed, Done at the City Of Washing
ton, this 14th day of October, in the
year of our Lord 1873, and the indie

A FUNNY TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

Perhaps the funniest typographi
cal error of modern times occurred
in recent issue of the Danbury
NeUs. What are we to think of an
evangelical alliance such as is here
described? "a band of three hund
red 'clergymen' are on the frontier,
and after a successful raid they will
retreat to their reservation, carrying
their scalps and piunder with them
to enjoy, under the protection OF
q government post,a feast and a war
dance,for which the pioneer citizens
of Colorado furnish both scalps and
food. Comment on such state of
affairs is useless. ."(One would think
so. 'No words can do the subject
justice" Scarcely. But it is fair
to persume that if the word "Chey-
ennes" had been substituted for the
word ''clergymen" in the first line
OF the above, the purposes of the au-
thor would have been better realiz-
ed.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR DEATH FROM
SUFFOCATi0N AND AMPUTATI0N.

One of the most horrible occur
rences that we have been called up
on to chronicle took place on Thurs
day afternoon, 9th ult., eight miles
north of Knob Noster, Johnston
County. For the particulars we
are indebted to W. L. Pigg, mer-
chant of that town.
On the day above mentioned a
party of farmers from the county ad-
jacent wer attending James Fosters
machine, engaged in threshing wheat
on Mr.. Albaugh's farm, the scene
of the horrible occurrence. During
the afternoon, while busily thresh-
ing, small wheel became broken,
the excessive friction produced
therefrom quickly igniting the dry
wheat straw and chaff, with which
the machine was surrounded. A
stiff breeze was blowing at the time
threatening q spread of fame to a
large rick of wheat adjoining. Con
templating at once the desperate
emergency, one of the employees, Mr..
Arncld, mounted the front part OF
the thresher and attempted to smoth
er out the flames. In steping on
the feed board one foot slipped, his
leg entered the machine about half
to his ankle, where, horrible to re
late, it became firmly caught! Vain
were the efforts to release the poor
man from his terrible situation
The machine was run slowly back
but effected nothing. No time was
to be lost. The flames were gradu-
ally increasing. Unless removed he
would be burned alive. A desper
ate remedy was then proposed-the
last and only hope. A stout man
with 4 common chopping ak, ther
severed the imprisoned leg just be-
lew the knee, the amputation requir
ing three several blows. The un-
fortunate man was taken from the
machine and Il runner dispatched
for medical aid. A physician was
fortunately soon found, but the
wounded man died before he reach
ed his side, although every assis
tance was offered him by those pres
ent. The deceased was aged about
80 years, and leaves stricken fam
lily to mourn his sudden and terri
BILE death.

MIRAGE OF THE MOON.

The Toledo, Ohio, Commercial de
scribes the following extraordinary
phenomenon:
A sight very rarely seen was wit

ing was one of the brightest sun.
light, with a sky remarkably clear
About $50 our attention was called

pearlng remarkable being unusual
brightness in the presence of such
clear sunlight. The appearance was
in northwesterly direction, and at
an angle of 45 degrees from the hor-
rizon. A second thought however,
showed that the moon had set about
two hours previously, and, d,of course,
was then far below the horizon.
The mystery was at once solved
by the reflection that what was seen
was simply looming or mirage of
the moon. Such phenomena in the
case of shipping and other objects
in connection with larger bodies OF
water and extensive pl laIns are fire.
quently seen, but we never before
heard of this kind. Occurring as it
did, over the land, and some dis
tance from the lake, makes it the
more remarkable. The moon was
near its last quarter, and it's lines
were nost distinctly drawn, though
upon careful examination something
like tremulousness could be OBJ
served.
The explanation of the mystery is
familiar with all students in astrno
my and atmospheric phenomena. 1t
was an optical illusion, due to un-
equal densities and refracting pow
ers of adjacent strata in the air.
Sometimes the operation is simply
a refraction or bending of the rays
of light in their passage from one
strata to another;while at others, the
angle and relation of strata being
favorable. there is a perfect reflec-
ton, as from a mirror. In the pres
ent case it had more the reflection.
This phenomenon is oftener observ,
ed in the morning, for the reason
that the atmosphere near the sur
face of the water or the land retains
its heat through the night, and hence
is rarer than the strata above. Thus
rays of light, as in this case of the
moon, in passing from the rarer to
the denser medium are irefracted or
reflected, according to the inclina
ton of the angle and the relative
densities of the strata. 7aie
Many curious cases of mirage are
recorded. Captain Scoresby, in 1922
saw the ship Fame at a distance of
seventeen miles beyond the visible
horizon of the observer. In 1906
the whole of Dover was seen at
Ramsgate, England, though ordinar-
lily only the tops of the highest spires
were in sight. From Sandusky, O.,
the islands and shipping on the lake
have frequently loomed up ten to
fifteen degrees above the horizon of |
the observer. while the Canada shore |
could be seen with a glass. Trav
e!ers on the plains of the West have
observed like phenomena. But the
presentation of the moon, as in the
present case, has not before been |
known to US. At all events,it was a
remarkable and highly interesting

The type of this disease varies

which rises rapidly. The pains be
come violent, excruclating, and the
pulse ranges from 1OS to 120. The
tongue is not coated or furred, but
assumes g red, CLASSY appearance,
and often swells to far beyond its
natural size; the gums begin to en-

the teeth. The secretions of the
body are deranged, and often the
bladder becomes dry as powder

their functions. Woe to the patient
when such is the case, for the urin-
ary acid is almost sure to be carried
to the brain, producing the widest
delirium, and if not quickly reliev

death. The stomach is disordered
and often there is a disposition to
reich; the nerves become preternatu
rally excited, and the restlessness is
indescribable, while the eyes are
painfully sensitive to light and the
ears to sound. In some cases the
lips, the whole face, grow red as
crimson. Usually the full, corded
pulse throbs with sledge-like stroke

The RESULT IN OHIO.

In one respect the result in Ohio
will do great good. 1t has shown
that the same old spirit of Copper.
headism is, after all the strongest
element of Democracy. In spite OF
last years professions of "liberal
ism," which many Republicans at
the time were inclin ed to regard as
sincere, in spite of professions OF
sdiness to disband, and to take
up new issues, made this year in
quarters where the farmers or other
local movements have given oppor-
tunity for such tactics, the fact
stands out in bold relief that una
dulterated, unreconstructed, unre-
pentant, unbiushing Copperhead-
ism rallies more Democratic votes
than any other position which that
party can take. This is because
that element is far stronger and
more positive in the Democratic
party than any other. 1t is the back
bone and the life of it, and does
not vanish as some over-hopeful
political counselors believed. 1t is
precisely that element with which
we have to deal in Missouri, though
under very different circumstances.
just the same spirit which makes
Bourbonism the master in the Dem
ocracy of Ohio gives rebelism the
control of the Democracy of No.,
and will drive into hostility to that
party every man who can look back
upon 10y al record, or who retains
any touch of affection for the Union
