ST. LOUIS, Nov 5.
Returns from the state are still very
meager, but enough is known to place
the democratic majority at not less than
100000 and may be over 10000 The
congressional delegation is entirely dem
ocratic, gain of four members, but the
majorities of the interior districts cannot
be given. The districts of this city are
as follows: First-Eckhr (dem) major
ity l73 over E. @, Stanard, the present
incumbent, who ran behind his ticket
some 2000. Second-Erastus Wells,
majority 5643 Third-William Stone
(dem) present incumbent, 1873 majority

ALABA MA.
Monte cMERY, Nov. 4.

Unofficial returns from twenty eight
counties show net democratic gain Of
10000. This includes Sumter and Greene
counties, and it overcomes the republi
can majority of 1872, and leavos the dem
ocrats 1900 ahead. There are thirty
seven counties to hear from, which will
increase the democratic majority to 6000
or 5000 1t is one Of the largest votes
ever cast in the state.
Harolson (col rep in the First district
Bradford (dem) in the Third, Hays (rep)
in the Fourth, Caldwell (dem) in the
Fifth, Hewitt (dem) in the Sixth and
Lewis and Forney (dem) for the state at
large, are undoubtedly elected to con,
gress. Williams (dem) in the Second
district, is probably elected over Rapier
by GOO or 700 majority. This gives a
democratic gain of three congressman.

WORK A BLESSING.

Many young men have fathers that
are well of, and they have no ambition,
and no particular prospect They scorn
trade. A man that is too well-born
for trade is very weli-born for gal
lows! Thousands Of parents, who. by
industry, have gained position which
enables them TO destroy their children,
take the surest means Of accomplishing
their destruction by encouraging them
in idlcness. and allowing them as they
grow up TO feel that it is disgraceful to
work at whatever manual labor best
suits his talents, no matter whether his
father is a minister, or lawyer. or if
Senator, or the President Of the United
States. Many young men are looking
forward upon life with the general idea
that they are going 70 ENJOY themselves.
They are provided with all needful phys
ical comforts. and they mean TO be happy.
They have no trade. They slight their
profession. Their whole governing prin-
ciple IN life is to shirk anything like
work and they expect 70 have enjoyment
