The Next House Dem ocratic.

spet4al Dispatch 70 Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, November "a table
OF the next House as 1t stands, under the
latest and most reliable returns, has just
been completed here by the best Republi.
can authority in the city, who has access
to all information regarding the result in
each District yet received by the National
Committee. He gives the Democrats $40
and the Republicans 14l. New Hamp.
shire at the worst for the Republicans,
is certain to give them two TO the Demo-
Gratis one in the March election, which
will make 100 Democrats and l4S Repub'
licans. This calculation gives nearly all
the Districts yet classed as doubtful to
the Democrats. The Republicans may
have two more than have been estimated
in the above count from Illinois, two
more from Pennsylvania, and two more
from Louisiana. On the other hand, the
Republicans may lose one In Florida, one
in Missouri and one in Virginia, more
than appears in the above count. Acare.
full study Of all the information at hand
regarding the Districts not yet officially
announced, convinceS the authority COM
piling the table that is quite possible.
though not very probable, that tho APP
parent Democratic majority may DO en-.
tirely overcome; but at the most, the Dem.
ocrats will not have over seven, aud may
not have over three or four majority.

rotary Of War, limiting all expenditures
to $50, 100000, lie had made alIotments

ABACKwooDsMANs OPINION OF GRACE
BEFORE MEAT.-.lt does my old jaws
good, Henry to sec you so familiar and
of.hand like with the victals. A parson
! guided last summer used to think it on.
grateful not to say grace before he fetch
ed a morscl, and he lived up to his ideas
of right and wrong, for surtin, for he
never failed to say grace over his plate
before he tasted ii; but he had n power
full strong hold on language, and used
to conceit many II time that he overdid
the thing II leetle. Ic see, Henry, said
the old trappcr in low. confidential tone,
us II half talking to himself, the man
was chock.tuil Of words, and gave tongue
like young hound on his fust track,
and he sort OF spilled over because he
was SO full Of en-. The least chance to
say something religious joggled him, and
do think have hcerd the man say his
prayers so long over hisvictals actooly
cooled before he got 10 'em, and that's
what call darned foolishness, put it
any way you mind TO. Now, Henry, l
never cook steak or bile tater or
brown lapjaCk that don't sort Of have
n pleasan feelin' inardly to the Lord
for his marcy to ME; and sartin, l
never got my teeth into the grumpy
edge Of brown corn cake like this and
didn't feel how pleasant and cheerful u
thing tits tolive; for cake like this is
toothsome eatin', and il the meal isn't too
fine, there arc chunks OF the karnals lynn
around in 1t that the teeth git into, and
the tongue intarprets the real vartue Of
the corn, in way that sartinly ought to
make man grateful for the faculties the
Lord has gin him, and the sweet growths
Of natur'. But as for n man stoppin' to
ontaugle string Of pious words when
his stomach is empty, and he feels like a
cellar with no house over it, and the
steam Of tho hot victals is strong in his
nostrils, why Henry, l must say that it
seems 10 me to be agin natur' and reason.
Ny idee Is that the Lord knows all about
our ieolin's, and can see the grace Of the
mans heart goin' up, as the victals go
down, and that he loves to see us dip in
hcarty.likc, and as II we enjoyed the
smell and taste OF the things he has made
to grow for us; and il the words must be
said, conceit that they should be said
after the man is full, and is ready to sit
back and feel religious.like; but as to
wastin' time in lynn hold Of the Lords

any such foolishncss from men Of sense
