of the Protectorate of Cromwell. Among his
other works are the Lives of the French Poets

THE ELECTION.

AS whole the election yesterday resulted
in most gratifying Republican success.
There were little spots here and there where
bad generalship and lack of discipline re-
suited in local defeats, but on the whole field
the victory has been as substantial as could
be desired.
The result may be briefly summed up as
follows: Gov. Dingley has been reelected
by majority of ELEVEN THOUSAND; five
Republican Congressman have been elected
by majorities ranging from twelve hundred
to over three thousand; and the Legislature
is largely Republican. In this county the
Democrats gain Senator and five Represen-
tatives. Possibly the same party has elected
Senators in Somerset and Knox, at best CIV
ing that party four of thirty-one. In the
House there will possibly be fifty Democrats
and fusion Republicans, but we doubt if this
figure will be reached.
Our footings up to one o'clock this morn
ing embraced the returns from 154 towns,
which gave Governor Dingley 81, 526, against
26.671 last year. In the same towns Mr..
Titcomb received 24,320, against 20,079 for
Messrs. Titcomb and Williams in 1873, net
gain of GA. Stephen Berry, ESQ.,, the agent
of the Associated Press in this city, whose
long experience in compiling returns make
him an authority, with his usual courtesy,
gives us the result of his calculations,
which are as follows: zone hundred
and sixty towns, an unusually large number to
receive, give Dingley 81 AL; TitEomb "a 1888;
Republican majority 7103, Last year the
same towns gave Dingley 26,755, Titcomb
1912, Williams 1918; Republican majority,
1855, showing net gain of 1888. If the
towns to be heard from gain in the same pro-
portion, the last years majority of $3.50 will
be increased to 10000 in an aggregate vote of
$4,000 against s0,94s last year."
In York county, Mr.. Burleigh runs ahead
of his ticket as do Messrs. Blaine and Hale in
the third and fifth districts.

DR. SCHENCK'S
Pulm0nic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and ii taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury for
its tendency is to eonne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
BILE.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver. stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secreti0ns and expe all the diseased matter from
the body These are the oniymeans by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills the
only medicines which operate III this way it is obvl-
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of tlhs invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.

following Wednesdays June 10th and oath, July Sth

OWEN County, Kentucky, is enjoying an

that SIT is perhaps the first time in the his
tory of Owen County when its citizens have
ever sat in court when there was not q sin,to
man that had concealed deadly weapons up
on his person." The presence of federal
troops has, according to the judge, wrought
this change. Owen County has become no.
torious for some of the most brutal and cow
ardy murders that have disgraced the South,
and most people would prefer to search the
pockets of any number of nsen that could be
gathered togather there, before believing

Some interesting details about the
denizens OF Paris, says the correspond
ent Of the London Era, are furnished by
that interchangeable explorer, M. Maxine
du Camp. 1t appears, then, that even
IN this gay city there are no less than
$4,000 working people; one-half of these
are women-a fact that proves that the
fair sex of Paris are not lazy. The rag
picking profession has fallen off since
the Commune and now numbers only
5000. There are seven large houses
whose commerce consists entirely in the
purchase and sale of old postage stamps.
We have also fifty-one dealers in false
hair, and ], 1853 BARRIERS and hair-dressers,
who in 1872 sold no less than 1O2, 800 kilo-
grammes OF chignons. ca kilogramme
is equal to two pounds) "This article
OF modern toilet" says the writer, " is
becoming so difficult to find that agents
have been sent out to China to buy up
the tails of the poor" OF flower makers
there are 5000, and owing to the Imperial
rage for violets the number of that polit
ical emblem sold last year rose to 6,O00,-
GOO. The employers or patrons figure at
$4,000. and some idea of their honora-
bility may be gathered from the fact
that there were only / 1862 bankruptcies
and insolvencies last year. Among
the so-called liberal professions are
1873 learned and literary men, g.
42O sculptors, painters and sculp-
tors, painters and actors-of the lat
Ter 2,O5S are ladies. A touching
fact among this sea OF figures is that,
whereas the literary gentlemen have only
800 domestics, they support by the work
of their brain no less than 2,258 persons,
chiefly parents. OF doctors we have
1,726, which is about one to every 1000
inhabitants. Behind this medical army
come 100 somnambulists, 561 midwives,
52S herborists and 1874 apothecaries.
Next, Paris comprises 1926 landlords
and "a ,S72 retired tradesmen, whose for
tune, in the majority of cases, is the re-
suit of early perseverance, privation and
economy. NJ. Maxine du Camp contends
that there is not city in the world
where the people work more than in
Paris, in spite of the 100000 idlers on
the boulevards, the 1870 concert cafes,
the 23S public balls, the $4,000 wine
shops and the 1896 billiard boards. The
workmen here are paid once fortnight,
on the Saturday. The week that follows
is invariably a dull one in the shops,
since the majority of the men pay their
devotions to "St. Lundi" until their
pockets become empty, and they are
forced to return to the bench to replen-
ish them. This is fact which should be
borne in mind by those who indulge in
invidious comparisons between the
French ourier and the English workmen.
