CHARLESTON. Nov. 9Th.

The election is very close in the city.
We have only scattering returns from
three counties in the low-country. Our
most careful estimates for the whole
State, including Charleston County, gives
Hampton over ten thousand minority.
We do not think it possible that Charles.
ton County, with its Republican majority,
can overcome this majority in the State,
and we believe that South Carolina Is
now safe for Tildcn and Hampton.

Row in Charleston last night.
New YORK, Nov. 9Th.
A tribune extra jus, issued says the
latest news leaves bare possibility OF
Haycs' election. The probabilities are
still all the other way, but the Republi-
cans now claim Wisconsin and California.
This leaves Tilden with one vote short of
election, Hayes 20 short and the follow
ing doubtful Stutes from which either
must draw for what he needs: Florida 4,
Heb.sska 3, Nevada 3, Oregon 3, South
Carolina 7.

Dispatches from Charleston point to
the election of Hampton aud the State
ticket by from 100 to 1900 majority,
after conceding the Republican estimate
for 5000 majority in that county. We
have majority Of one in joint ballot in
the next General Assembly, which Sc
cures Democratic United States Sena-

behind Hampton, but not far enough to
lose the electoral vote of this State He
has 1874 electoral votes secured, with
Florida, Louisiana and this State certain
to give him Is additional votes.

these majorities allowed, the estimate of

Private kilograms place the national

The election Of Hayes is still claimed

carrying Louisiana and Florida.
The Western Union bulletin states that

The Republicans claim Florida and

THE STORY OF LIFE.

a child i'll nursery crying--a boy in n
cricketsfield ''out -
youth for a phantasy sighing-a man with
fit of the gout--
4 heart dried up, and narrowed-a task re-
peated in vain
"A field plowed deep and narrowed but bare
and barren of grain.
Some sense of experience wasted, of counsel
misunderstood,
OF pleasure, bitter when tasted and pain
that did him no good.
Some sparks of sentiment perished-some
flashes of genius lost
Il torrent of false love cherished-a ripple of
true love crossed,
Some feeble breasting of trouble, to glide
again with the stream
In principle void as II bubble-in purpose
vague as dream.
a future hope halfhearted, for dim is the
future now
That the triple cord has parted, and death is
damp on the brow.
And debt is to pay by the debtor-a doctor,
a iawyer, nurse;
y feeling he should have been better, a
doubt if he could have been worse
While the ghostly finger traces its ghostly
message of doom,
And a troop of ghustly faces pass on in
darkered room;
With gboStly shapes to beckon and ghostly
voices TO cali.
And the grim record to reckon, and add the
total of all.
The sum OF life expended-a pearl in a
pig-JrOugh cast
a comedy played and ended-and what has
it come to at last?

Il IHRILLING SCENE.
HOW 4 CHILD WAS SAVED FROM BEING
CRUSHED TO DEATH.

a writer in the Ledqer says; find ii in
my scrap book, clipped and pasted there
score of years ago. Anything touching the
Austrian cavalry had a charm for me at the
time, as | was just home from that part of
the world. | had witnessed the evolutions
at drill of the cavalry of every European
nation except the Russians, and the Austri-
ans bore the palm. 1t is a grand sight
twenty to forty thousand horses, where
each and every horse understands the
slightest note of the bugle, sweeping over
the plain, and changing position like an
enormous machine, guided by an unerring
master hand.
1t must be seen to be appreciated. Words
cannot reproduce the picture. On a certain
occasion an event transpired which lent a
most thrilling interest to the military scene.
1t was review held in Vienna, on the oc-
casion of the fifteeth anniversary of the es-
tabishment of the NJ ilitary order of Maria
Theresa.
! Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
were in line. 4 little child, not more than
four years, standing in the front row Of
spectators, either from fright or some other
cause, rushed out into the open field just
, as squadron of hussars came sweeping
round from the main body. They had
made the detour for the purpose of salut-
ing the Empress, whose carriage was drawn
up in that part of the ground.
( Down came the flying squadron, charg-
ing at a mad gallop-down directly upon
the child The ruother r.S ,,aral,zad
were others, for there could lie no rescue
( from the line Of spectators. The Empress
uttered cry of horror, for the child's de-
struction appeared to be inevtabe-and
such terrible destruction-the trampling
! to death by thousand iron hoofs.
Directly under the horses feet was the
little one--another instant must seal its
doom when stalwart hussar, who was
in the front line, without Stacking his
speed or loosening his hold threw himself
over by the SIDE Of his horses neck seized
and lifted the child, and placed it in safety
upon his saddle bow, and this he did with
OUT changing his pace or breaking the cor
rect alignment of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices nailed with raptur-
Gus applause the gallant deed, and other
/ thousands applauded when they knew.
, Two women there were who could only sob
fcrth their gratitude in broken accents
the mother and the Empress.
And a proud and happy moment must it
have been for the hussar when the EN-
! peror took from his own breast the richly
encirced Cross of the Order of Maria
Theresa, and hung it upon the hieast of the
! gallant trooper.
