THE ELECTIoN-Tilden is said to have
more than $4,000 majority in New York,
and is already hailed as the coming man
of the democrats for their next presiden-
tial candidate. The defeat of Mr.. Roberts
in the Utica district is to be deplored. He
and President Grant differ as to the effect
third term had on the elections, the
President not thinking that hurt the party.
1t is reported, by the way, that Senator
Morrill, has been talking with the Presi-
dent on the subject, but finds the executive
not inclined to injurc his dignity by re-
marking publicly thereon.
In New Jersey William Walter Phelps
has been defeated for Congress by four
votes, another loss of an excellent men,
Der. The general result is a democratic
victory.
The one green spot is Wisconsin, which,
after 4 year of opposition rule, has wheel
ed back into the republican line and shows
the healthy discipline of defeat. Potter,
the author of the famous Potter railroad
law" was defeated in his contest for re-
election to the State Senate.

Five Hundred Thousand Years Ago.

The New ork Nation condensos from
an English scientific periodical some in
teresting speculations of DR. Alfred Rus
sell Wallace, of the probable antiquity of
the human species. They may Well star
tie, it says, even those who have long
come to the conclusion that 5000 wears
carry us but 4 small way back to the orig
inal home In fact. DR.. Wallacp's 5000
various attempts to determine the human
remains or works of art, and finds the
bronze age in Europe to have been pretty
accurately fixed al three or four thousand
years ago, the -stone age Of the Swiss
lake dwellings at five to seven thousand
years, land an indefinite anterior period .
The burnt brick found sixty feet deep in
the Nile alluvium. indicates an antiquity
of 10000 years; another fragment al
seyenty-two feet gives 80 ,00Q years. "A
human skeleton found at the depth of SIX
teen feet below four hundred buried for
ests superposed upon each other, has been
calculated by Dr. Dowler to have an anti
guilty Of $4,000 years" But all these
estimates pale before those which kent's
cavern at Iorquay Iegitimates Here the
drip OF the stalagmite's is the chief factor
of our computations, giving Us an upper
floor which divides the relics of the last
two OF three thousand years from a de
post full of the bones OF an extinct man
malta and glutton and indicating an arctic
climate.
Names cut in the stalagmite more than
20OO years ago are legible-in other
words, where the stalagmite is twelve
inches thick and the drip still very copious,
not more than a hundredth of a foot has
been deposited in two centurea-a rate of
five feet in 10000 years. Below this,
however, we have thick, much older,
and crystalline ii. e., more slowly tormed)
stalagmite, beneath which again, lin a
solid breccia, very different from the cave
earth, undoubted work of art have been
found" Mr.. Wallace assumes only 10O,-
900 years for the upper floor, and 250, 900
for the lower, and adds $50. 900 for the
immediate caye-earth, by which he arrives
at the "sum of half million years that
have probably elasped since human work
manships were buried in the depths of
Kent's Cavern.

A Local Romance.

\ few wears before the late war Ger
tain Dr.. Dow came to Calais, and boarded
for some time at the Calais House, then
kept bv George Wilder. After a while he
removed to Princeton. where he practiscd
medicine, and in the course of time mar
ried Miss Spooncr, very respectable
young lady OF that town. The marriage
occurred Just before the war began, and
soon atterWard Nh Dow enlisted While
in the army daughter was born to him,
and for time he regularly sent letters
and money to his wife. But after a while
he ceased to do 50, and nothing was heard
of him until some time after the close Of
the war, when his vile learned that he
had married the only daughter of wealthy
man, in another State, and WAS living with
her. She went to sec him, but failing to
find him. she saw his other wife who said
the doctor told her his first wife and their
child were dead She then returned home
and procured a divorce. Some time after
this she went West to work, and falling
sick, and finding herself unable to support
Ger child, she wrote to her "ex-husband@
asking him to contribute towards the sup
port Of his daughter. He replied in a
penitent letter, expressing a desire to see
her and talk over matters. By agreement
they met in Boston, and ne provided am
ply for his daughters support. A cores
pondence ensued between the divorced
parties which finally resulted in his offer
ing to leave his second wife and remaTy
the first one. She agreed, and about two
weeks ago the wedding ceremony was
done over again and the twice married
couple have gone off TO seek their fortune.
What has become of the other wife we
have been unabeto learn Ihisis Il strange
story, but it is vouched for by friends and
acquaintances OF the parties, both in this
city and in Princeton, and if we had the
slightest doubt OF its truthtulneSS we

Death from a DOGS Kiss.

The \. \. sun OF June 9th contained
letter from j. c. Dalton, NJ D., on the
subject OF hydrophobia, in which he speaks
OF the possibility of mad dog communi-
eating the disease bv simply licking an
aoraded spot on the hand OF his master
The truth OF this was terribly illustrated
ABOUT three years ago. A MI Van Guilder,
Il printer employed in an establishment in
Fulton street, Brooklyn, had small
DlacA-and-tan terrier, subject to fits One
day while the dog was in paroXysms has
master took him in his arms 10 soothe him,
the little creature recognized Van Gmlder
and licked his face, touching his lips, on
which there was 4 slight abrasion. The
nj proved to be more violent than usual
and the dog died IN his masters arms, but
without any symptoms of hyGrophobia.
Halt All hour atterward Mr.. Van Gull
der tried to wash his hands and was seized
with slight convulsion A secor d trial
produced much more marked effect, and
within an hour and q half OF the dogs
death the master was suffering from the
worst symptoms of hydrophobia Dr.
Hormiston, Of Brooklyn, having been
summoned, saw no hope Of saving the
patient, and recommended that he should
be sent to Flatbush Hospital. The advice
was acted upon, and Mr.. Van Guilder be-
came an inmate OF the institution
For the first twenty-four hours after his
admission to the hospital he was carefully
watched. But as the end approached his
paroxysms became so terrible that the
nurse and watchers fed from the room
and locked the door For two hours they
remained outside listening to the shrieks
of the dying man. Then all was still,
they ventured to open the door and look
in, the floor was Uttered with broken glass
and shattered furniture, and in the midst
Of the debris lay Van Guilder, his clenched
hands and distorted features bearing I'M
mistakable evidence Of the agony in which
he died
