At noon yesterday we received the follow
ing special dispatch from the reliable Press
agent In New Orleans: ..-.
NEW ORLEANs, Nov. 4, 1876.
The election passed off quietly, without
q disturbance anywhere, In Mississippi.
The Democrats have swept the State, elect
ing the entire ticket in nearly every county.
They have about 30 majority in the house,
and SIX OF eight In the Senate, and elect
the entire Congressional ticket with the
possible excep ion Of the 9th district which
In still in doubt. ~
Now York 10 claimed by both parties.
Tho Republicans certainly have a fair
majority in both houses. The Tribune
claims the State for the Democrats: The
Sun gives the state to the Republicans.
The Herald says the Democrats win by
from six to seven Thousand. The Times
oongratulatss the Republicans on the result.
and says no one need fear that success will
revive. the third-term project. That IL rs
dead n Julius Caesar. Latest retul ms leave
the State In doubt, with chances In favor of
Bigelowl Dem.) The majority, either way,
will not, exceed 5000. The Tammany ticket
is completely overthrown in the city. Nor
rissey beats Fox, for the Senate, by $500.
Pennsylvania has gone Republican,
giving Hartranft about Il, 600 majority.
In0j NePuOucans carry OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Minnesota. New Jersey and Wisconsin, by
majortties ranging from two to five thou
sand. T. rr ..-T.r
Lane, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress In Oregon, Is probably elected.
The Democrats carry Maryland and Vir-
ginia by large majorities.
It Is impossible. at this early moment,
to analyse proparly the results announced
above. The loss of New York will do good
instead Of harm, while the result in Penn
sylysnia Is fully compensated by the close
vote in Minnesota and Wisconsin,. We re-
joice, especially, over the result in Missis-
sippi and the complete change effected in
our sister State for the first time since Re-
construction. Louisiana mnst come next
in the Democratic line! PHI.

The Higher Life.

As to the higher life," we take it nobody
doubts but that some Christian lives are
higher than others and that the highest is
the best. II is clear that every one should
go as high as he can; he had better always
keep ON going. 1t is certain, too, that the
upward path of the Christian is not always,
nor, indeed, usually by regular and unvary-
ing gradations. 1t is commonly like the GO
ing up hillside which has here and there
its sharp pitches, with easier slopes between
Sometimes it may be a terraced hill, with
banks of steep ascent and level plats above
them. This last represents a popularity in
some lives. 1t is matter that depends
much upon original constitution Of mind,
and upon habit, as well as upon the orderings
of Providence with each individual. Thus
with some persons, much more than with
Others there will seem 10 be one plane of
Christian life distinctly cut off from and
above another. Yet there are not of neces-
sity, nor in fact two such planes, one above
the other, any more than there are three or
a hundred, With some there may seem to
be two, with Others many. Besides, there
are others still whose whole lives are neither
thus terraced, nor strikingly marked in
other ways by variations along the line
of upward progress, but steady and even in
their ascent. Let us each, then, climb as
best we may, and let us help, but not judge,
one another Congregationdlist.

Robins or Ducks.

Our boy gun over shoulder, went out for
game yesterday. His anticipation, like that
of other hunters was large. 1t is the sea-
son for ducks, and ducks he wanted, or moth
ing. lie saw during the morning great
many robins, and SAYS he could easily have
bagged them, and for the practical purposes
of the table they are almost as good as ducks
But he despised the smaller game, deter
mined upon the larger, and came home With
out anything. As he set down his gum we
laughed TO see how the analogy runs all
through life. We told him he ought to have
brought down the robins and been sure of
them, and taken the ducks also if he could.
But men, as well as boys, make the same mis-
take. They despise the smaller successes of
life in their tramps for greater ones. We
are all out for rare game, and so miss much
that is valuable in ordinary affairs. Young
men will not save five dollars because they
are not thousand. Christians neglect OPP
portunities of plain usefulness, because
they cannot do something extraordinary.
Not robins, but ducks.
We have noticed that those who will not
serve God and society on small SCALE fail
completely. Because they cannot be elo.
quent, they are stolidly silent. Because
they cannot endow college, they will not
help poor widow who has lost her COW.
Because in the hunt of life they cannot bring
down something large and fat and memora-
BILE, they come in at the evening of their
days and set down their gun, chagrined and
gameless. Despising robins, and ambitious
for ducks, they get neither Christian at

How to Deal with Young Men.

Success in dealing with Young men de-
pcnds on the possession, by the religious
worker, of personal qualities which young
men admire and respect Those who com.
mend religion to you in men must have more
in them than in religion. They must have
in considerable measure, some of those
moral, intellectual aud physical endowments
and attainments which excite the enthusiasm
Of the young whether they are associated
with religion or not. In fact the Christian
who would deal successfully with young men
must not only be a Christian, but thorough
man. Such moral qualities as courage, mod
esty, straightforwardness such intellectual
attainments as business capacity. skill in
ones trade, extensive knowledge; and even
good physical development and excellence in
athletic exercises, give a capital introduction
TO religion. For youth does not yet care for
principles, but only for examples, or for prin-
ciples embodied IN living men. The reason
why young men are so little attracted by re-
ligon. and sometimes even disguised with
it, is because they see it SO often associated
with moral and intellectual weakness.
Cambridge student told, at the conference in
London the other day, Of a University man
who was stroke oar in boating club, and at
the same time had prayer-metings in his
rooms. That man was likely 10 attract his
companions to Christ. Another speaker told
about young man in Edinburgh who had
been led TO seek Christ by seeing the thor
ough manner in which the Christian foreman
in the shop where he was employed, did his
work. lie wished TO be Christian like him.
London Christian.
