The Philadelphia Press tells tough
story as to how a, Massachusetts fishing
schooner was carried Off by a monster Of
the deep. According To the run OF the
yarn told by the Press, the vessel was
riding at anchor, when suddenly she be-
gan to move through the water at the
rate OF ten to fifteen miles an hour. 1t
was then discovered by the astonishet
crew that whale had twisted the au-
chor cable around his tail, and was max
ing Oft, with the schooner. His whale-
ship, perhaps equally astonished, lifted
himself cut OF the water several times
during tue free tow, and finally made of
with about one hundred % and forty
fathoms VI the cable, leavng'th vessel

TOMATO LEAVES -One of our ex,
changes says that fruit grower in Val.
paraiso, South America, writes to his
local paper that he has discovered a
singular property in tomato leaves. II
appears that having cut down some TO-
mato vines, he used them as a mulch
around his peach trees. He soon dis.
covered that the curculio which had de.
stroyed his fruit had abandoned the
trees surrounded by tomato vines. Fol.
lowing up the accidentai discovery, he
found that the Tree use of tomato vines
proved protection, not only against
the cureulio, but against other noxtous
insects. He found also, that by steep
ing In water some fresh leaves of the
tomato, and sprinkling the infusion upon
other plants, the inhumerabie insects
which covered them were driven away.

Interstate Riflo Matches.

The Crescent City Rifle Club, of New Or
leans, has done good service to the cause Of
American craftsmanship by its invitation to
the other rifle clubs Of America to take part
in an interstate contest, which differs in
character from the usual competitions. Un-
der the plan proposed each club is to shoot
on it's own ground, referees being appointed
TO watch the interest Of the contestants on
each range The system is far from perfect,
because it is probable that the various teams
will shoot under very different atmospheric
conditions. This, however, is of secondary
Importance when we consider that the
system, once adopted, would enable the
marksmen Of the country to compete con-
stantly, and would tend greatly to extend
the interest felt in rifle matches. Some
eleven clubs have consented to take part in
the first interstate long range match, which
is to be shot on the 18th of October, and we
look forward with interest to the result of
the experiment, wishing it every success
The day. we hope, is not far distant when
every State in the Union will have its team
of trained rifemen to contest for the highest
honors of craftsmanship, just as in the
British Isles, England, Ireland and Scotland
yearly struggle for the possession of the
Elcho Shield.

THE RACES The attendance at Jerome
Park yesterday was better than on the open
ing day, though not SO numerous as might
have been expected in view of the splendid
weather and interesting events. There were
considerable number of ladies present,
whose gay costumes added not little
to tho gayety and animation OF the
scene. The racing was good through
out, with the exception of the steeple-
chase, which left good deal to be de-
sired Janet Norton won the one-mile race.
Mr.. Belmont secured the Hunter Stakes
with Sultana. Last year he won the same
stakes with Olitipa. The Maturity Stakes
fell to Tom Ochiltree, and justly enough the
unsatisfactory steeplechase was won by
Deadhead.

iongation OF the strife renders the
situation more and more complex for the
British Cabinet. The Porte has now spe-
cifcally laid down the terms on which it
will make peace, but the same hour brings
Servia's ultimatum. ''She will only yield
to foreign military intervention" 1t is not
many days since we used to smile at such

The October Elections.

Six States hold their State elections in
October-namely, Colorado, Georgia, In
diana, Nebraska, Ohio and West Virginia
The election in Colorado was held yester-
day, and the republicans have probably car
ried the State, but o day or two must pass
before we receive full returns. Georgia and
West Virginia will undoubtedly 60 demo-
cratic, the former by a large majority, and
Nebraska is sure for the republicans. AS
there is no doubt of the result in these
States their elections excite but little inter-
est, except that of Colorado, which has some
peculiar features. It is the first election
ever held in that Centennial State, which
now comes into the grand sisterhood Of the
American Union. Colorado chose yesterday
all her State officers and her first State
Legislature, o Legislature intrusted with
larger duties than will devolve on any of its
successors. Besides electing two United
States Senators the Legislature of Colorado
will appoint the three Presidential electors
to which the State is entitled, reviving an
old practice which obtained in several States
at On early period and was continued by
South Carolina down to the beginning Of the
civil war. Colorado adopts that method
merely for this once because time enough
will not intervene for her Legislature to pass
the necessary laws for holding an election
on the second Tuesday of November, when,
by o law of Congress- all the Presidential
electors are required to be appointed.
Georgia holds her election to-day, but it's
only significance lies in the fact that the
Legislature to be chosen will elect Senator
to succeed Mr.. Norwood. West Virginia,
Indiana and Ohio hold their elections next
Tuesday, and 'the tug Of war" will be in
Indiana and Ohio. The contest will be SO
close in both of these States that no great
surprise will be felt at any result. If both
go the same way the Presidential election
will be virtually decided; but if the repub-
licans succeed in one and the democrats in
the other the struggle of parties during the
ensuing month will be strenuous and excit-
ing almost beyond example.

The Centennial Medals.

There are lotteries, we believe, which
guarantee every buyer Of ticket a prize at
least equal in value to his investment-lot-
teries in which there are no blanks, and
which are certain to satisfy everybody.
How they are managed and how the COM
panies are rewarded for their generous toll
is one of the mysteries of modern money
making. With commendable desire to
please all the exhibitors in the w orld's Fair
the Centennial Commission has adapted this
plan to the difficult duty of making awards
which shall result in the smallest possible
amount of disappointment. The eleven
thousand of bronze medals which, piled
up, would make column, we forget how
many miles high, or, placed rim to rim,
would extend, we forget how many miles
long, are of equal value and are compli-
mentary to unequal qualities Of goods ex-
hibited. They are like the ribbon Of the
Legion of Honor, which may be given to
either q general or corporal, and while
they are testimonials to o certain ex-
cellence they do not determine the
degrees of merit. 1t is hardly to be expected
that these awards should content the ex-
hlbitors, and we are not surprised that there
should be quarrels already among the con-
testants for Centennial honor. The piano
makers, sewing machine companies, machin-
lists and manufacturers Of all kinds have
gone to war about the relative value of their
medals and awards, and pretend to have
solved the great problem of the difference of
tweedledum from tweedledee. Perhaps the
Commissioners could not have chosen a
better plan, certainly not one more ingenious
for evading difficulty; yet while they osten-
sibly decide between rivals they actually
make no decision. Their good-natured sys-
tenn of making awards is like that Of the race
in "Alice in Wonderland" in which, we are
told, ''every one ran when he liked and
where he liked, and where all stopped at the
word Of command, and oil won and all
received prizes.

YELLOW FEVER AT CHARLESTON
has been great exaggeration respecting
this pestilence at Charleston, as our tele-
grams from tina. place during the last week
very clearly showed. Only four cases of
real yellow fever have appeared there, three
of which were carried from other places
The business of Charleston and the travel
to and fro, by steamer and rail, are no longer
interrupted, and persons contemplating
"trip to South Carolina need not be deferred
by adverse reports as to it's health. The
last regular weekly report Of tho Charleston
Board of Health showed that the deaths from
all causes were but fourteen, being less than
the usual average even in winter. These
included the four fever cases which caused
the alarm.

GENERAL BurLER's OPPONENT
Butler took contract to defeat Mr. Tarbox
for Congress, and that seemed an easy thing
to do. But Judge Hoar may enter the field
and divide the Generals vote. 1t does not
look so we'll for Butler, and it looks q good
deal better for Tarbox. If Judge Hoar and
General Butler would stump their district
together the people would not only hear
some brilliant speaking, but they would be
enlightened on a number Of subjects before
election day. The two men, between them,
know good deal, and know it from different
sides. There was story the other day, for
instance, about letter from Collector Sim
mons to the Chairman of the Republican
Central Committee, about which consider
able part of Massachusetts, became curious
as soon as it was whispered around that a
committeeman had said he would rather lose
ten thousand dollars than have that letter
get out. Perhaps Judge Hoar might even
worry the contents of this mysterious letter
to daylight, or perhaps General Butler
might publish it himself. 1t is pity to
have any mysteries in n canvass like this

THOSE RUSSIAN IRoN-CLADs-1t is an
nounced from Washington that we have not
bought any more Russian territory, and con-
seouently have not paid for it, either in iron
clads or money, rs reported in Vienna.
Doubtless the Vienna story was therefore a
mere fiction invented to satisfy the appetite
for such things which is apt to prevail in q
capital filed with rumors Of coming wars:
II the Austrians cannot understand how it
Ia thnt Russia has money enough to go to
war they must try another explanation. But
II they discover that Russia has bought any
old naval material cheap for cash it may
prove that it went from this side of the water,
and was the original molehill out Of which
Ehs treaty story was made.
