In the eighteen States in the above
list, the Republicans had a popular ma
iority of over $40, 900 twelve months
ago. During this year the same States
have recorded a majority against them
of over "A, 900, showing a change and
an anti-administralien gain in one year
of $4,000. Estimating that the votes
of these States represent nearly two
thirds of all the votes in the United
States, the result indicates a change Of
over one million votes in the Union.
Since we have had a history there has
been no political revolution more sweep

CHASE EOR A THIEF.-On Saturday
morning last a sfabbily dressed indi-
vidual, led likely looking horse up
near the National, and offered to sell it
for seventy-five dollars. The low price
asked aroused suspicion Immediately,
which the stranger noticed, and he
proceeded down the street still leading
the horse; when near the alley by the
Post Office, some one cried out, ''catch
that thiefp when he dropped the
bride rein at once, and with the speed
of wild gazelle darted down the
alley. Various heet-footed boys and
men were not long in following in his
train, but away sped the purloiner of
the horse flesh, over palings, through
hedge fences, and truck gardens, turn
ing now to the right and now to the
left, until his pursuers were lost in a
maze of uncertainty, and he ambushed
behind some friendly clump of grass OF
bushes. The horse was taken posses
sion of by J. F. Simpson, Esq, to await
call of the owners. Shortly before
noon, James MeMillen, the owner OF
the animal, put in an appearance, from
whom it was ascertained that the
horse was taken from pasture field al
Round Bottom, five miles below
Moundsville, on Friday night. Mr..
McMillen was lucky in getting his
horse and the accomplished thief may
consider himself fortunate in making
his escape.

THE AUGUST MONTHLLES.
SCRIBNER'S.

Bret Harte'S new story, San episode
OF FiddletOwn, is begun in Scribner's
for August. The strong bits of charac-
terisni, and quick, masterly touches of
pathos, which we find in these opening
pages, show that the hand of the poet
rOmancer has not forgot its cunning
DIR. Hollands arthur Bonnicastle" is
continued. John Burroughs, good
authority on birds, writes about 1.-The
Blue-Bird;" Fitz-Edward Hall con-
tributes an interesting article on PAN

Modern SkepticiSm" will doubtless
attract the attention of the religious
press. Among the poetic contributors
are z. G. Steadman, John Hay, and
George Macdonald.
THE GALAXY,
for August, of which we have received
the advance copy, has an uncOmmonly
varied and promising table OfcOntentS,
and. its promise is more than made
good by the articles which follow.
The leading article is picturesque
sketch of Vienna, not IL description of
scenery but a passing glance at Gus
toms, costumes, character, and general
features of a city which the writer says
he loves.
An article entitled "The Martyr of
Balakiava" gives graphic description
OF the m emorable charge of the six
hundred, and explains the causes of the
disaster in the clearest manner. Cen
eral Clusters Indian war record and
Carl Benson's Casual COgitatiOns,
with the usual qudntatpa of poetry, and
literary and Scientific Miscellany,
make up the number, which is in all
respects an excellent one.

DEATH
The destroying angel is abroad in the
land-nOW as ''the peStilence that
walketh in darkness and the destruc-
ton that wasteth at MONDAY" Now
he calls for the aged and infrm-the
midle aged, mother, full of the bOu-
ancy of life's hopes, and surrounded
by her happy ones; and then his dark
shadows, approach the home of the
young-the cheeks blanche, the lips
pale, and the angel of the household is
still and cold in his embrace.
And there she lay

Wounded in fowery pastures fron whose

The leaves of the oak and the willow shall
Be scattered around and together be laid
And the young and the old, and the low and
Shall moider to dust. and together shall lie.
So the multitude goes-like the flower or the
That " ithers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes-even those we behold
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
Little Minnie was nine years old
when she died-Of heart disease. All
along during the last years of her life
her cup of suffering was full yet how
patiently and smilingly she endured it
all. Never, in response to numerous
inquiries regarding her health-to the
hour of her death did she murmur or
repine, but always with cheerful voice
she would reply 81 am better"
Tenderly, as the frail tenure that
bound her to earth, weakened day by
day, was she watched and cared for by
loving hearts and willing hands. With
full appreciation of her impending
fate she calmly awaited the footsteps
that brought the icy hand of death to
her marble brow. Young as she was,
/ with sublime faith-unclounded by
fear, as she heard the dip of the ap-
preaching boatman's oar to convey her
to the other shore, she tenderly said
o1ly-"dear mother don't cry"-and a
parting farewell to all, and there was a
vacant chair i'm that household, sweet
voice was stilled--for little Minnie was
dead! Green in our hearts will be thy
memory young friend. May the ties
that bound thee so Intimately to thy
family and friends on earth bind them
still more strongly to meet thee in
glory!

Isociable, and it is hard to be exclusive.
This state of things has its disadvant-
ages of course, but it is got along with
amicably-perhapS to an Acddi0ua de-
gree-and comfortably. The street is
macadamiZed with the rest of the
road, and at times is muddy; but the
side walks are we'll paved, and good
kerosene lamps light the whole length
of town at night. Being on the hill
tops this place is not so begrimed with
coal smoke as the valley towns; but
still it shows, and young ladies do not
hesitate to use Just trife of white
them much either; for ''the three great
elements, fine water and soap," will
scarcely suffice.
This town is we'll built in rather old
style, the houses mostly of brick,
though there is an occasional frame
and even log house. many of them
covered with oak lap-shingles, which
when old gives them the appearance
of Newfoundland dog. The county
buildings are good old fashioned out
side and mOderniZed within. The pub
lie schools are in one three story build
ing, which is not surpassed by any
school house in Ohio.
If st. Clairsville is old fashioned, it
was an important town in an elrly
day. At one time its Bar was de-
servedly prominent in the State among

Hammond published in this place the
Ohio FederaliSt, an anti-war paper,
whose circulation extended over the
Union, and was perhaps the largest
west of the mountains. One of earliest
Anti Slavery Societies in Ohio was or
ganized here, and for time Benz. Lun-
dy's Genius of Universal Emancipation
issued from this town.
Since the National Road was built,
st. Clairsville has grown but little, eX-
cept in wealth. The number of inhab-
itants and houses is much the same. 1t
has two newspapers, as it had forty
years ago, when helped to print one
of them; and, being ofoppnsite parties,
as then, they give each other thunder
in about the same style. Both editors
are good friends personally, and repre-
sent very good community ". c.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 81, 1873.

WASHINGTON, ~. u, July Il, 1910.
WAR ON THE BORDER.
News has been receiued here from
San Antonio, Texas, the headquarters
of Gen. Augur, commanding the de-
partment, that the Mexican General
E5cabedo was advancing to the Rio
Grande at the head of a division. EX.
actly what this means is not now
known, but the natural inference is
that such a movement of so large q
body of troops must be with hostile
intent, and if so stirring intelligence
may be looked for at almost any mo-
ment. In fact it was stated to-day in
several quarters that a Texas paper had
been received here containing parti-
culars of desperate engagement on
the fourth of July between the Ameri-
can troops and large detachment of
Mexican Kickapoo Indians. Our forces
were said to have been victorious, but
that Gen. Mackenzie was killed. On
inquiry of the War Department effici-
ais tonight they state that the depart
ment had not as yet received any Of
fetal advices of any such engagement,
and knew nothing more of it than the
common rumOr. If such an engage
ment has taken place, news of the same
must reach military headqueroers in
due form in very short time.

The GAINESVILLE Enterprise wants all
Republicans to vote for DIR. Baker, the
Prohibition candidate for the Legisla-
ture, and gives as a reason that DIR.
Baker is a Republican. Will the En-
teTprise tell its readers that if he is a
better Republican than Armstrong, or
a better man in any respect? Seen
from our standpoint, DIR. Baker is but
a small p6litician-anxious for Office
and put forward as the willing tool of a
little clique of men and boys with even
much less practical common sense than
himself. The endorsement of the En-
terprise as to his Republicanism is
hardly sufficient, when the people it
advises recollect the effects of DIR.
Baker and his friends, last year, to de-
feat the Republican candidate for Pro-

that was admitted to be impossible
but by electing the Democratic candi-
date. Is that an evidence of his Re-
publicanism No matter what the
talent of this pet of the Enterprise and
its friends, we think it quite likely the
Republican Convention will select
quite as good man for the place, and
we feel very sure much better Re-
publican.
