THE result of the election in North
Carolina does not seem to show such
large Democratic gains as at first re-
ported. The total vote is some $1,000
less than that on Governor two years
ago, when the Republican candidate
for Governor was elected by only ,899
majority. Of this $4,000 loss on the
total vote the Republicans lost $1,000
and the Democrats the remainder: It
will be seen; therefore, that the change
in result is not due so much to change III
the character of the vote as to the failure
of Republicans to 60 to the polls.
The Republicans lose two Congress
men, but in three of the districts, two
of them Republican last year, there
were three candidates running, and
owing:to this, the hue and cry against
the civil rights bill, and certain legal
quarrels, the Republican vote was d.
vided. So that after all the Demo
cratic victory is not SO marked as at
first thought it would seem.

THE FOURTH OF JULY7s pANGERs

There is general awakening, all over the
country, to the absurd dangers with which our
celebration of the Fourth of July is attended.
The disastrous fires, in many towns and cities,
caused by fire works, have called the attention
of reasonable people to the subject, and in all
quarters there is determination not to suffer
such risks, hereafter. In Baltimore, on Saturday.
the ordinance of the city against fre-crackers,
and all similar explosives, was absolutely enforc-
ed-proving that this is possible, where the
authorities really wish to do t-and the day was
not only passed quietly and pleasantly, but there
was not single fire Ct any consequence. The
Baltimore Sun says
"This immunity from disasters of this kind
was due solely to the rigid enforcement of the
law prohibiting fire-crackers aud fireworks
heretofore this species of dangerous Fourth OF
July folly has been fruitful source of discom-
fort aud loss, not only Of property, but in many
cases of still more valuable lives. The result OF
this wisdom, drawn from experience, demon
strates that we have at last learned an import
ant lesson, which must not be forgotten"
The Police Marshal stated that in all his ex-
penence he had never known such peaceabe
and quiet Fourth OF July. Not one accident OF
offence, fatal or otherwise, had occurred from
firearms no horses had been scared or liyes
lost from the use Of fireworks and not even q
single serious criminal case had been reported.
In marked contrast with the immunity of Balti
more from fires and accidents was the expert
ence of some other cities, where the foolish sat
urnala is still permitted The worst instance
perhaps, was the disastrous fire in Aleghen,
City, Pa, by which properly, chiefly dwellings
covering square and half Of ground, was des
troyed, involving loss Of 100000. Tic con
migration is supposed to have originated fror
the explosion of fire crackers. Ia Toledo, Ohio
six frame dwellings, were burned the fire origin
ating in the same way. There were no les
than thrty-four small fires in New York. All
an equal number in Philadelphia. At Union
ville Chester Co., large tannery was burne
on Sunday, it is supposed by ''crackers."

DIFFERENT WAYS OF REGARDING THE
COMET

1t no longer requires any effort to find the
comet in the northern sky;-it s visible to all
eyes and it ia striking enough to attract the at
tention even of those who do not know that we
have an unusual celestial visitor. Unexpected
pleasures are, according to the general voice, the
best, and the rapid, almost instantaneous APP
pearance of the comet, the calculation that in
few days it will 70 increase in size as to extend
over nearly one half Of the heavens, and that it
will disappear as rapidly as it came, make the
subject an exciting one. The great comet of
1858 was much more slow Of growth, and we
came gradually to regard it almost as a starry
fixture; the comet Of 1874 will flash past us with
almost meteorc swiftness, and will blaze in the
north with even greater brilliancy than the Do
natl comet did in the west
The suddenness and the unusual character of
this phenomenon will doubtless make painful
impression upon many ignorant people, as well
as upon many who, being too intelligent to give
way to superstition, are yet so impressible as to
be tho slaves Of nervous fear. There are always
thousands of men and women at such times
who, through one or the other of the causes in
Dictated, are ready to believe the most preposter-
GUS things. The state OF mind thus encouraged
favors ailments of all kinds,-real ones no less
than imaginary. Lady Macbeth was not alto
gether correct in her reasoning when she raid
sit is the eye of childhood which fears painted
devil" II is not what causes fear which is 30
much to be considered as the fact that
fear is caused and as to the devil in the text,
if children can be terrified by his counterfeit pre-
sentiment as they would be by his real self there
is no difference as far as the fright itself, is
concerned Furthermore, many people are no
more than children they have years but they
have no nerve
These things considered it must be deemed
unfortunate that efforts have been made to
create popular excitement on the comet ques-
ton. Elaborate articles have \Deen published
proving that within short time Nthe earth will
be involved in the tail of the comet Should
such thing happen we need not travel far into
speculation for the result. Our planet would be
at once relieved of its atmosphere, which would
make living here precarious and painful bust
ne g. Tom Collins must be the real author
of this collision theory, although it has the
pretended support of other persons. 1t is
all very well for those of us whose heads are
strong enough for such humor, but the sad eff
fects of fierce excitements growing out of SINH
lar circumstances have too often been seen.
The injury to the earth from the comet is a fan
cied peril, but the fear of it s-or may easily be
made-very real Let us improve the acquain-
lance Of our unusual visitor, but not imagine
that its coming concerns in any way the safety
OF the comfort of the earth.
