The news received yesterday gives the most
cheering assurances that Florida with 4 and
Louisiana with 8 electoral votes have in
dorsed the Democratic candidates, giving
them 19e votes, or II more than is necessary
to choice. This view OF the
case, we are confident, is shared
by leading Republicans here and elsewhere.
We are quite willing 10 bide our time and
await the most authentic information with
regard 70 all doubtful states. Unfortunately
there arc those in this community, men of
position and influence in their party, who arc
intimating that no matter what the vote OF
South Carolina. Florida and Louisiana may
bc. they viii not be permitted to cast it for
Tildcn and Hendricks. That these men are
in hourly communication with Others of
still greater power and influence is believed.
and il is further believed that the managers
OF the party in power have determined.
by = stroke as bold as it is in
famous, to rob the Democratic party
Of its triumph on Tuesday last
to dcfraud the people OF the United States of
their choice for president and vice-presi-
dent. regardless of all the terrible consequent
ccs that would inevitably follow such an act
Of supreme villainy. Louisiana is expected
to commit this fragrant crime against the
people, against law and good government
and against the peace OF the country. This
work Of irfamy il IS believed, the returning
board under the control of such men as Kel-
log. Packard. Casey, Pinchback. and other
politicians equally unscrupulous, will per-
form. and that, notwithstanding the Demo
cratic electors have received large
majority of the vote of the state Iilden
and Hendricks will he counted out,
and Hayes and Wheeler counted in.
This seems now to be the last
desperate chance of the men who are man.
aging the affairs of the Republican party.
But it will not succeed. The crime proposed
in this instance reaches. in its consequences.
beyond Louisiana or any other state where
il may be attempted or consummated. II is
a crime against Louisiana. but as certainly a
crime against the empire states that VIC have
recorded in this article; and more than this,
il r. a crime against the people OF all rolitk
cal parties, a crime against the SOW
reignty of the people; a crime against
constitution, law and liberty. 1t is
the first step in the direction of
revolution whose vile footprint may
leave an impress which centuries would not
suffice TO obliterate.
We dc not hesitate to tell the men, in
whose mind this great crime is taking
shape and form, that the people will not
permit its purpose 70 be executed. They
must pause Zach Chandler must use the light
ming and write to his creatures at New Or
leans and elsewhere if possible in letters of
fire to make for once "A fair and honest
count Of the votes, and permit the people in
their sovereign capacity to determine who
shall be their rulers The times have
changed greatly during the past few years.
The people will not be defrauded and make
no protest The interests ut stake are TOO
mighty. We hesitate to believe the
crime we have pointed out will be

An ERectual Quetus.
New Orleans Democrat

The Southern people, not even those most
directly interested, entertain not the slight
est hope that they will ever be paid for
their slaves, or for any losses they sustained
by the war. However barbarous the ignor-
ant classes Of the North may deem them,
they are certainly intelligent enough to I'M
derstand that the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution put an efiectual quietus up
on all their claims for compensation for
emancipated slaves and property destroyed
By the calamities or necessities OF the war.

The above is fair sample of the news that

for claiming the state for the Republicans.

Moose the Indians who carried the
mails between that place and
Abitibi and Temscamingue had leil three
days before. and, although fearful snow

In pursuit of them. The journey from
Moose to Abitibi, distance OF about 800
miles, occupied fifteen days. During that
time Mr.. Vincent and the Indian carriers
saw no people except few Indians who
passed them. Each one In the party had
to draw his own provisions and the neces

pounds, They walked In this way at the

Chinese Portune-TelIers.

INTIMATELY associated Win The super
stitions Of China is the art OF fortune
telling, or divination, an art which enters
in many matters Of everyday life, and Is
practiced openly and 10 various ways, the
following being the more noteworthy
methods pursued. The most common
branch OF the fortune-tellcr's art has ref
crence to the eight b0rary characters
which, taken in pairs, denote the year,
month, day and hour of a persons birth.
The fOrtunc-tclier makes his predictions
on these data, by the use Of certain inys-
teal books pertaining TO his art, and bis
services are an Indispensable preliminary
10 the arrangement Of marriage, for he IT
is who decides whether the horoscopes Of
the man and the woman are sufficiently In
harmony to justify their becoming nus
band and wife. Another professor of the
art, like the gypsy In our own country,
bases his Vaccinations ON the physiogno-
my Of his client he does not, however,
c0nfine his examination 10 the lines IN the
palm of the hand, but extends them even
to the whiskers, II his customer chances

Processes to pry into the future by the aid
Of bird and small sheets Of paper He
belongs ~ the peripatetic order, and Is
commonly 10 be found in the streets and
tea gardens. In one hand he holds a
piece Of iron and bamboo stick, by
striking which together he attracts the at
tention of the passers-by, and in the other
hand he carries cage containing the bird.
When customer applies 10 have his
fortune told, he spreads out the little
sheets Of paper, usually sixty-four in mum
Der, on which are written some characters.
The cage is opened, the bird hops out,
and, being trained 10 the business, picks
up one of the slips OF paper. This the
fortune teller unfolds, reads the mysteri.
GUS inscription, and interprets it accord
ing TO the exigencies Of the case. In some
parts Of the country similar performance
Is gone through In a rather more elabor-
ate manner with hen for the medium.
This Is the most economical OF all the
ways Of having ones fortune told, for a
man may thus, accordingto Chinese ideas,
ascertain the DEGREES Of fate for the mod
crate charge Of one farthing. Another
peripatetic fortune-teller is of literary
turn Of mind, and applies himself TO the
dissection OF those strange. looking hero
glyphics In which the Chinese language
IL written. In addition 10 these, there are
two other classes Of fortune-tellers; the
one Is the professor learned in the mys.
teries of tengshui, who is consulted in re.
gard to lucky spots for graves and times
for burial, and often receives large fees;
and the other operates by means OF a tor
toisc.shell and some ancient copper cash.
On the whole, we suspect that fortune

In most other countries, even where super
stition Is still rife, for the Chinese always
likc.t have lucky day chosen for every

wife, burying parent, starting on Q

by the whole nation, there are millions of
women that are the very vital essence Of
the goodness of the American people.
Without these millions of good women
there would be no good men, or very few.
These millions are the modest, prudent,
retiring women who do their duty in their
homes, in their social circles, in their
churches, In the charities that deserve
their help; who avoid personal extrava-
gance and abhor notoriety; who In doing
good, not by stealth, but in quiet, unob-
trusive way, are really made ito blush to
find it hme;r who are really aggrieved
or frightened when their names are put IN
print Each che OF these millions OF
good women, be she matron or maid, Is
exercising a certain good influence, &C
cording TO her physical and her mental
strength. that tells upon the general con-
dition Of society quite as much as does
the influence Of each one OF the small
number of famously bad or silly or
extravagant women, one OF whom
has lately been so ruthlessly held up
as q typical American woman by
ignorant or cowardly men. The
aYqunentum ad ADmiaem Is always weak,
but it is especially so when il applies to
the female part of the genus. We have no
more right to condemn Eve, who yielded
to the serpent, than we have TO condemn
Adam, who yielded TO Eve. The old his
tory of the Garden of Eden is repeat
ing itself frequently. But in all recent
repetitions OF it, especially in political al
fairs, the Adam is the worst sinner. In
ninety nine cases out of hundred he puts
himself in the way OF temptation, and in
most of these he is saved from fatal fall
by his Eve Ii his is the controlling
spirit and he leads her to join him in sins
Of his own devising, he is the party to be
disgraced and punished. His Eve n,,gh.
e he treated al least with little OF the
mercy given so abundantly by Divine
being, in later dispensation, TO woman
who had really sinned, but was really
penitent There was the one grand case
of chivalry that was more than knightly-
that was divine. la the light Of such an
example the paltroonery of the men who
are berating the whole female sex In
America because one woman may have
ruined her husband and disgraced her

True Love Gone Out OF Fashion.

beautiful manageable young women as
it does at the present time. And why do
we not have more marriages? We an
swer, because marriage for love is the
exception and not the rule. The young
people of this age have gone fashion and
money mad If the dandy bank clerk
who pays one-haf of his income for board
and the other half for clothes cannot i'm
prove his condition he will not marry.
The shop girl who earns good wages and
cannot be distinguished by her dress from
the bankers daughter, certainly will not
plunge into matrimony unless she can
better her condition in life. Ii man is

women can be found only too willing to

Grafton. They marry to be supported and
dress extravagantly. How often do we
hear the remark, !" Better TO be an old
mans darling than poor mans slave"
Alas! too many of them are not satisfied
to be darlngs. They will persist in loving
other men after they are married.
1t cannot be denied that great number
of unmarried men are adventures, looking
for wives who can keep them without
working for living. The peace and con-
tent of a happy home are not taken into
consideration They are willing TO suffer
hell upon earth if they can be kept in
idleness. If our people do not abandon
this extravaganza of dress and greed for
money, our country will be filled with old
bachelors and old maids. We must have
more genuine courtship and marriage, to

The Big and Little OF 1t.

EXTREMES in human nature met this
morning at the Union Pacific depot, and
the meeting was curious sight, wit
messed by hundreds Of spectators.
Maj. Houghton, who is twenty-seven
years old, is thirty one inches high, and
weighs forty-one pounds, an account of
whom appeared in the Bee the other day,
has been waiting here for week TO meet
two other natural curiosities, and go with
them to San Francisco, TO join a circus
company. The other parties were Han
nah Battersby and Mrs. Sarah +. Bolton,
who arrived from the Eastthi morning
Miss Battersby is the latest, largest and
heaviest woman in the world. She weighs
765 pounds, and is twenty four years old.
She has been in the show business ever
since she was ten years old, and for many
years was with Barnum She Is known
as the F" Eastern Giantess." she wanted
to take brief ride around town with
Maj. Houghton, but as no hackman could
conveniently get her into carriage, and
as she would not insure him against
breakage, she had to forego that pleasure.
While she waddled around ON the depot
platform, the ground seemed to fairly
tremble beneath her tread, and when she
took her place in the car, she filled up an
entire seat, not leaving room enough for q
hair-pin even, and she had considerable
difficulty in squeezing in through a car
door
Mrs. Sarah Il. Bolton was the opposite
of the giantess. She is only thiriy-one
inches tall, weighs thirty-eight pounds,
and is the smallest woman in the world.
Her age Is overweight, and her circus
name is The Fairy Queen" II she
were not married she would make an ex-
cellent match for Maj Houghton, the
smallest man in the world.
The trio were the observed Of all OBJ
servers at the depot till the train left for
the West.-OHdha Bee
