bonds, money and valuable papers, had

game between the james Fisks, Jr., Of
Brattleboro, and Nameless of Rutland.
This was a sharply but not closely con-
tested game, and resulted largely in IA
vor of the Fisks, SO to z. At the con-
clusion of this game, the prize of $50
was presented to the Fisks in brief
speech By Mr.. L. III. Reed. We have

The Tournament was a success in all
respects and reflected much credit on
those shaving charge of the arrangements.
The day was splendid, the music by the
band gave fine impression, and the at
tendance on the field during the after
noon quite large.

Importance Of :. single Vote.

One vote in the city of New
York returned Republican MEM
Der of the Assembly, which made a
majority in the Legislature of that
state for Thomas Jefferson, and gave
him the vote of New York, without
which he could not have Deeu elect
ed. The whole policy of the Uni
ted States during The Jefferson and
Madison administrations, period
of sixteen years, hung on that vote.
One vote elected Marcus Morton
governor of Massachusetts in an ag-
gregate popular vote of nearly 100
600. One vote elected William AL
len, in the ChillicoIhe district, TO
Congress in the year 1884, and one
vote subsequ entity made him Uni
ted States Senator for six years at
terward. The following case of the
kind is still more remarkable: In
1880, Dan Stone, of Cincinnati, was
a candidate for the state legislature.
Walking up Main street, on the
the morning of the election, he
overlook an acquaintance going TO
the polls, who intended to vote the
opposition ticket. Stone solicited
his vote. I'VE are old friends,
said he, and L know You Will snow

Dan, you are pretty clever fellow.

but as it takes place the evening be-
fore he leaves for Washington, the
public reception will be delayed
until his return, and there viii con-
sequehtiy be no cards. The follow
ing extract from private letter re-
celved in Washington contains sun
dry particulars which will interest
our readers: GLOW will Washing
ton feel when Senator Jones returns
with his fair young bride? For he
is really to be married 10 Miss Sui

point of age, it is one Of those ideal
marriages that we 80 seldom see,
and jill regard 10 age, one cannot

lions on that score The bride elect

but is more than ordinarily petty.
Miss Sullivan Is of medium size,
with fine, stylish figure, and very
elegant aud refined manners. She

fortune from her grand !
father, and being the only child of |
a gentleman of large wealth, she is |
above and beyond the suspicion OF
motives, which, under
other circumstances, might attach |
TO q marriage with SO wealthy Il
man as Senator Jones. No one |
who sees them together can doubt
that her whole soul is wrapped up
In him."

run of the stones is also better than
ever before. We are told that il ia
whittier and more GRANULAR orSvhat
may be called coarser; that II takee
more water in the making of bread,
makes q larger loaf than before with
the same quantity eff flour, aud the
nutritive qualities, if anything, are
increased. In point of fact, while
the Touring capacity of the wheat
is increased to an extent most ySlu-
able, the quality is increased TO at
least from forty to fifty per cent,
and there is no loss in any diree-
ton, except in the refuse hsfetOfore
fed 10 the cattle or WASTED il the
dIstiIleries. That this is an ali-im.
portant branch of industry will
readily be admitted.
A most important feature of il is
the changes it has male in the relas
tive importance of different sections
of the country as wheat-beeriRg re-
gions. Under the old process of
making -four the winter " heat fur
nished by all odds the best article.
This was obtained only In besI con-
dition from the nosthefp fIer Of the
Southern states, or the extrs me
southern parts of tue Northern
states. Virginia, kentucky aud Mis-
souri, furnished the bulk of the
wheat making the best fiour-which
flour commanded uniformly fifty
cents more per barrel in the market
than the -four of the Northwest, and
the difference was occasionally
much greater. Now spring wheat
makes a better article than can pos
sihly be made with the winter. In
fact, the winter can not be used to
any advantage under this new pro-
cess. The effect is that the relative
of the Northwest and
the states referred to has been sud-
denly reversed. Now the flour
made of spring wheat by this pro-
cess commands at lesst fifty cents
more in the market than the hereto
fore best kind. This lifts lows,
Wisconsin and the
generally, to the front |
rank of flour-prOducing regions,
and adds corresponding TO the val
tie of the property in them.
We think these considerations |
sustain us in calling this a revOlu-
ton in fiour-making. 1t is one
which has principally benefited the
millers so far, but it must soon be |
felt by farmers and the merchants,
and the latter class should not be |
slow to cultivate an acquaintance
with the new process flour.

Pick Oua 1'T,e E.re..y Ones

In the green room of the Grand
Opera House at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning, seated Oil the chairs
walls, were over 400 beautiful girls.
An advertisement in yesterdays Sun
for 900 more eomely young maid
ems for the new Black Crook" had
called this assemblage together
bright and early, each wOuld-be
fairy hoping for lucrative station
in the line OF beauty. AS they filed
past the manager one by one, each
had some special qualification. One
had been on the stage in Niblo's
Theater, and would like TO 60 on
again if she could get place in the
front line, shut you know / couldn't
afford to take back seat-not me"
Another would ''take hand" she
said, 'if she could get enough pay
to keep her little sister," n. faded
little old woman, iii suit OF faded
black, hobbled up TO the window
and begged for place in one of the
back rows. a saucy little mink
with fiashy red scarf "was all
there, all there was ofher-if they
wanted her they could have her"
And they did want her, for she was
beautiful. Next a letter of recon-
incubation from n San Francisco
troupe was raised up to the window
by q mite Of body, with a iaunty
parasol on her arm aud II sachel in
her hand. a pretty miss OF -,
neatly dressed, with a pink in each
cheek, was teBderly taken into the
office, where she might not be lost
led by the crowd. Then followed a
dozen or so of the "fair to mid
ding" one or two "extra super
fine" and q long file of common
places, the astute manager mean
while taking his choice and making
his selections with the skill of an
old stager.
At last the greeu-room was emp
ty-the sylphs had disappeared
and the manager sat in his furnish
ed office to enjoy good cigar.
"l1ow did you manage Ia collect
so many girls who wish TO go on
the stage ?" asked the reporter.
"Oh, that was easily DONE" rep!i-
ed the manager; "four. lines in this
mornings Sun did ii. | have an
swered $50 applicants little over
one hundred applicants for each

ampton and Liverpool have been
established in the meantime by
other parties. The pioneer line
cost the railroad $758, 275. A, and
that much went out of accomplish
ed and the road is rapidly reaping
the profit. Its grain traffic ran up
from 5000, 900 bushels IN 1871, to
7,5I0,657 bushels in 1868, and it is
believed will be at least fifty per
cent. larger this year.
During all this time honest
management and close economy
have marked the conduct of the
road, SO that these enormous ex-
penditures without any immedi-
ate return, have not impaired its
resources, and it has continued all
the time to pay ten per cent. divi-
dends to its stockholders. The
confidence imposed in the man
ayers of the road was recently
manifested in q pointed manner
by the ease with which Mr.. Gar
rett negotiated a loan of $4,000
900 from European capitalists.
BY the completion of it's line to
Chicago, it now possesses two
western termini, and it is not
strange that the powerful Sarato-
ga combination should be so sol
icitous to get it into their con-
tract. Nor is it strange, either,
that the people OF the West should
hail with reclamation the an
nouncement of Mr.. Garrett that
he did not intend to depart from
that independent course, to the
strict observance of which. in the
past, be owes so much of his sue
cess. St Louis. especially, is in
terested in this determination,
since the Baltimore and Ohio has |
always eyinced q more liberal pol
icy toward this city than any 9th !
er of the grand trunk lines, and TO
it we look mainly for relief from
the present unreasonable and I'M
just discrimination made against |
St. Louis in the interest of Chica-
go. Mr.. Garrett has heretofore |
been awake to our interests, and |
30 long as he remains so, we shall
welcome the promise that he is the
railroad king.
