A Big Vote Being POIled-The Ne.
Voting solid o Hayes n
wheeler n Dorsey Thomas.
Our election commissioner visited the
different polls of the city this forenoon
aud watched the vote up to M o'clock.
In the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth
and Tenth wards the negroes seem to
be sweeping things for Hayes and
Wheeler and Dorsey B. Thomas. In the
Second, Third, Fourth and Eighth wards
the straight Democratic ticket is ahead
50 far, but yet many Democrats there
are who, while voting the regular ticket,
scratch of the name Of the coupon
paying and high tax Governor, james
D. Porter, aud vote for Dorsey B.
Thomas.
Owing TO the announcement made
that a voter could sling a ballot at any
precinct in bis district, a good deal Of
repeating has been going on among the
negro voters. Attorney-Genersl Wright,
Of the Criminal Court, claims that a late
decision of the Supreme Court of Ten.
nessee settled the question that a votei
could not vote out Of his ward, but Gus
tom to-day seems to have made it other
wise. At the polls everything has beer

The Empress of Brazil lately
gave Queen Victoria a dress woven
spiders webs, the fabric being
far finer than the finest silk. Some
ago the London Society of
Arts conferred upon Mr.. Rott their
Of honor for obtaining a
thread of silk of the estimated
length of some $4,000 feet from
twenty-four of the aranea diadema,
or ordinary garden spiders. In the
course of the Investigations which
followed this remarkable achieve
ment, the thread was found to be
six and three-tenths times finer
than that produced by the silk
worm, and, as the average number
of the latter required to yield a
pound of silk is found to be be-
tween three and four thousand, it
is calculated that no less than some
twenty-five thousand spiders would
be required to spin a similar guam
tity. Unfortunately, however, ex-
cept in the use of spider flaments
