No GREAT VICroRY result
Of the election in N. Y, was not much
Of Democrat victory after all. Both
branches of the Legislature are Repub-
lican. and the official returns as far as
received. indicate the election, of the
Republican candidates for Comptroller
and State Prison Inspector. Even the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, for whom a majority Of them IS,
900 to $4,000 has been noisily claimed
now appears to have majority of only
about 5000!

There is one little crumb of com.
fort left to us Republicans after the
Waterloo of last week Tuesday. When
a thief breaks into bank when the
Legislature appropristes thousand OF
dollars to the Milwaukee Catholic So
cieties; when the railroads increase
their freight tariffs when the Lesis
lature makes laws odious to the people
and in favor Of railroads; when whea,
brings but eighty cents a bushel; when
panics come. and laboring men are
thrown out Of employment. when Con
grassmen dabble in stock and steal
money when crops are poor and the
devil is to pay generally, as he I'M
douhtedly will be. then we can say
This is Democratic administration
1t is none of our funeral. We are not
responsible. Yes it will be a comfort
to be the "outs for year or two, so

Here is the way they do things in
California in the fruit line We clip
the following from The Resources Of
California, headed wonderful yield
of pears
The front window of the Bulletin
publication Office, in this city, is embel-
ished with a. branch of a pear tree
which surpasses, in point of novel
beauty, anything Of the kind ever be-
fore seen in San Francisco. The
branch is slender. measuring only one
and one-eighth inches at the butt, but
clinging to it in dense mass are large
luscious pears of the Vicar Of Wake
field variety, in such profusion that
only few inches Of the branch can be
seen. At little distance the pears
appear to be glued together instead Of
naturally fastened to the limb. The
curiosity was a present from Mr.. ker-
chival's ranch, near Courtland' on the
Sacramento river. where i, grew. Its
weight is eighty-fve pounds and will
fill two boxes.

will find, for this command to pray,
abundant reason, in his own nature. in
the relations he sustains to others and
in the circumstances of his daily life.
It will be said, '.but he gives to ma
ny who do not ask yes there are some
whom he cannot persuade to ask, just
as he cannot persuade them to do other
right things, and he still gives them
what he can, as he gives to his birds
and cattle, but these gifts are no more
to such people than they are to the
cattle and the birds, and his best gifts
he cannot give them, and 50 it is that
such people know very little of their
Father. and drift away from him rather
than towards him. Indeed it is safe
to say, that such as will never pray
will never find their way home into the
kingdom ofGod.
Fourth, we are here taught to ask
for anything of daily need. "Bread'
is comprehensive term, and in this
petition is our warrant for asking for
anything our present life demands, and
also for our expectation of receiving
them.
Say many 'of the wise and prudent
it is all we'll to pray, but we must not
exnect God to do anything in reply to
our prayer beyond what he did when he
made the world and furnished it for
us. Our prayer will put US in good
frame Of mind and be useful in a spir-
itual way as a sort of spiritual exercise
but that is ALL
Dear friends if l thought SO I should
pray no more. For

the sake Of the mental or spiritual ex-
ercise of asking.

ye become as little children We shall in
no case enter the kingdom Of God
Who ever heard a child ask its moth

! not see this, but God has revealed it
unto babes
g. 1t is making our Father mere
idol, any God would do as we'll, pro-
videj it be i"ayined to be God, for
! nothing is to be granted anyhow.
This would agree with any heather
superstition since nothin" is expected
but the mental results of the exercise
what matter, whether the God can hear
or not:

prayer, which is. petition asked Of

5. AS spiritual exercise. it is fail

up and it will make pharisee Of him.
6. But men will not keep it up. it
destroys itself. People who hold this
notion do not pray much. If they come
to prayer-meeting it is to argue not to
pray.

Wherefore, o my friends: if any the

Should be Sustained.

We have been talking and writing
and hearing some time about Martin
Female College and the good il would
do Pulaski and Giles COUNTY. At last
we have the institution under Roadway,
and it now deYOlYes upon the people
who have been Specializing upon and
entertaining such high hopes of its sue
cess and its instrumentality in building
ullour town to give II the encourage
ment necessary TO establish it upon
sure footing. The infant institution
now stretches forth it arms to our peO-
pie to be supported and nurtured until
it shall have grown to proportions when
it can sustain Itself and offer such in
ducements as viii demand patronage
I6comes in its infancy, but it comes not
in the weakness and imbecility charac-
teristic of that age. Its helm is well
manned and every appurtenance is of
that character which insures its proper
governments and skillful manipulation.
Prof w. h. Jones has the best recon-
mendations OF entire fitness for its gov
ernment, and being thus qualified, what
better do we want? His assistants are
picked from the best instructors, AMI
every necessary arrangement for the be-
ginning of the term on next Monday,
the 25tl, has been made. Our readers
all know the history of this institution
thus far, and it GeVolves upon them to
give it IA future history such rs its illus
trious and deceased founder would have
been proud of could he have lived
to see it i'm operation. Martin Fe-
male college Is now before our people,
Offering in its very name and nature an
appeal more powerful than words
Should we and can we and will we sup
port it? Duty to ourselves, our poster
ity and our country says that we should,
the census returns say that We can, and
our word for it, the generous and noble
hearted people of Giles 1rU support it.

Railroad Accident.

On the night of the 18th inst. the
nOrthern-bounC train on the n. q ID. Il.
r. ran over negro one mile north of
Harwell Station, breaking his leg and
fracturing his skull. Heis supposed to
have been drunk and was sitting or ~
ing Oh the road asleep, but being
aroused by the approaching train arose
TO his feet, but not III time to escape.
He now lies in Il critical condition, with
but slight hopes of his recovery. The
accident occurred on an embankment
about u feet high. with Il wagon road
at its base. The train was stopped, but
the unfortunate man had been thrown
so far he could not be found His
grOanS, however, attracted Il passing
negro next morning. who found him
insensible by the roadside and charita.
bly, rolled him into the corner Ola fence.
Had he been taken ut once when the ac-
cident occurred to Pulaski, his life
might have been saved, and a proper
regard for human life would, ii seems,
have prompted this course. The next
morning the hand car passed up the
road, and it might have easily ear
ried the poor negro to the depot, but
no, neither his condition or his suffer-
mgS could tird any sympathy in the
railroad heart. So he laid for 10 hours
in this miserable condition, in 4 miles of
Pulaski, before his injuries received any
attention. Though it was a bright
moonlight night and the road straight
at this point, and with the aid of Il bright
headlight his condition might have
been discovered in time, as far as we
know, yet we do not doubt that every
effort was made to prevent the catas-
tTophe, and we are only disposed to
censure the neglect in giving the negro
t,roY,as. afIanfinn uFfpr he was RIM
Three drunken men have been run
over OH this road, in two miles of each

who desire to kill themselves by the

will be the next victim?

Negro Killed Near I1lIlton.

On Monday night last party of men
rode mp to cabin on the premises of
Mr., VIM. SWinney, one mile east of
Eikton, and accOSted Pleas. Cathrcn,
colored, with inquiries concerning the
whereabouts of "a negro named Free
man. Pleas. answered that he did not
know where Freeman lived but that
Ben Vance could tell, whereupon he
called Ben, who had no sooner made his
appearance than he was fired upon by
the party. He escaped, however, with
out iaiury, and Pleas. received the con-
tents Of the deadly weapon, from the eff
fects OF which he died instantly. 1t is
said tilat the negro Ben Vance had a
difficulty a few days previous with
some white men across the river, hut il
is not known that this had anything TO
do with the. subsequent affair, and, in
fact, our informant did not even know
the number or color of the men com
posing the assailing party.

u The Trustees of Martin Female
College have been trying to negotiate
with Gov. Brown for his splendid resi-
dence for the use OF the school, but we
believe the project has been abandoned
without results. There was some diff
ference of opinion between the Cover
nor and the Trustees as 10 the relative
value of his property and that which
they proposed TO give him in exchange,
which consists of % acres of the DIR.
Carter property just west of the Cover
nOr's residence. We know nothing of
the estimate placed upon either by the
contracting parties, but if such an ar
rangement could be effected upon an
equitable basis, we think it wOuld give
satisfaction to a large majority of the
subscribers to the College fund, and de-
light many parents who are anxious to
see the school established in permanent
buildings and put in operation ut once.
We are satisfied, however, that the
Trustees will act wisely in the ms tier,
and let no opportunity slip to promote
the Interests of the school.
