The Election.

At present writing it is impossible to say
with certainty who is to be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is easy to
discuss probabilities, but we prefer to await
fuller returns and to reserve comment until
the question is decided. From full survey
of the field it will be seen that the issue in all
probability depends upon the states of Louisi
ana and Florida. Should these states cast
their electoral votes for Gov. Hayes, he will
be the next President. Should either of
them vote for Governor Tilden, a Democratic
President will occupy the White House.
From the nature of the case the returns will
come slowly, means of communication being
very limited. It is quite possible that we may
have to wait two or three days before arriving
at absolate certainty.
There is one state, put down in neither
list as doubtful, which is without substantial
reason assumed to be for Tilden. That is
North Carolina Those who remember the
conflicting reports from the Old North State
in 1872 will be slow to believe that the result
there is yet settled.
But speculations, though of much interest,
are of little value. The latest returns will be
found in onr telegraphic columns. Republi-
cans will cherish the nope that the apples of
gold which the Democrats have plucked may
turn TO Dead-Sea fruit.

Mr.. Thomas Carlyle is reported to have ex-
pressed his mind very clearly to correspond
ent OF the Hartford Courdnt in regard to the
doctrine of evolution. ''I have known" said
he, "three generations of the Darwins, grand
father, father, and son; atheists all. The
brother of the present famous naturalist, a
quiet man who lives not far from here, told
me that among his grandfather's effects he
found seal engraven with this legend, .Om-
MIA er conchis;' everything from clam shell |!
saw the naturalist not many months ago /;
told him had read his Origin of the Spe-
cies,' and other books; that he had by no
means satisfied me that men were descended
from monkeys, but had gone far toward per-
suading me that he and his so-called scien-
tific brethren had brought the present gener-
alton of Engishmen very near to monkeys.
A good sort of man is this Darwin, and we'll
meaning, but with very little intellect. All,
it's sad and terrible thing to see nigh a
whole generation of men and women profess
ing to be cultivated, looking around in pur-
blind fashion, and finding no God in this uni
verse. suppose it is reaction from the
reign of cant and hollow pretense, protesting
to believe what IN fact they do not believe.
And this is what we have got to. All things
from frog spawn: the gospel of dirt the order
OF the day."

AFTER the close of the Centennial Expo
sition the collections of mineral and metal
lurgical products now on exhibition are to be
placed in one of the salons of Memorial Hall,
and arranged there for future display as OBJ
jects of interest TO the general public and of
study for the professional inquirer. The
American Institute of Mining Engineers, to
whom these contributions have been donated
by foreign government commissioners and
private citizens, is the only National society
of the kind in the United States, and in
cludes the leading practitioners in mining,
metalurgy, and cograte professions in all
parts of the country, and III charge of its
Museum Committee the exhibition is in
tended to be at all times open to public in
spection.

The recent appearance of Mr.. Charles
Reade in fresh lawsuit leads a London cor
respondent to remark that litigation is the oc-

assessment of e13S.4. He lost it, and paid
the sum with good grace.

MONSIEUR ERNEST FEYDEAU, the French
novelist, has just been travelling in Algeria
and publishing book about it. His sum-
ming up of the Arab character is good
humored. He describes the native as of a
simple, marvel-loving nature, easily pleased,
careless, free-handed, pleasure-loving, and
ligious considerations can keep him from
feasting or fireworks. The native has GER
tain wit of his own-a wit which delights in
the practical part Of joking; and he has a
keen appreciation of wit in others. Indeed
he relishes good thing so much that when
he has heard once he instantly cries out,
Encore. Encorep' ard wants to hear il
again.

columns of the Oakland Transcript. After
systematically stealing our editorials for some

say that he does not admire them. OIL use

THE Neg Century for Women says of the
benefit derived from the concentration of in
terests and industries of women in one de-
partment OF the Centennial: ''The work
done has been double what was anticipated.
The building has been vital idea, and not a
depot for deposit, and each woman who has
come under its influence has been made
stronger and more alive. 1t is impossible to
make any estimate of the influence of such
motive power, but there can be no doubt
of its perpetuity.

So well has the Centennial Exhibition been
managed pecuniarily that there is now little
doubt but that the surplus will not be less
than one and half millions. The total ex-
pendlture for buildings. fences, and gas and
water supply, amounting to $3.S24, ,172. 10,
has already been provided by the contribu-
tions of the city of Philadelphia, the subscrip-
tions of private individuals, and the Pennsyl-
vania contribution. The running expenses
have averaged only 81, 100 day, while the
admission receipts have been nearly three
millions, and the receipts from concessions to
restaurants and the like are estimated at two
and half millions. The million and half
appropriated by Congress will, it is now
stated, remain-all of TIA surplus fund, and
over it lively strife is predicted. Had the
Government undertaken to run the Exhibi-
ton, without doubt it would have cost deal
more, and there would have been an enor-
nous deficit to be made up. The surplus
proves how much better such enterprises are
conducted when left to private management,
and it may yet be regarded as an open ques-
ton whether the Centennial would not have
been even greater success had Congress re-
fused to make any appropriation whatever in
aid of it.

A AlENAGERIE was sold at auction in San
Francisco ten days ago. A laughing hyena
brought $6, and big elephant $4,000 The
auctioneer made great hit with the parrot.
Snow, gents, here is one of the finest parrots
on the American Continent, swears like a
Barbary- Coast pirate, knows the whole first
Testament and can sing the Tral-a-loo like
Jenny Lind, how much mofferedf rm five
cents guess you don't know whaty'r buyin',
gents, ten do hear if he talks better'n some
of your Congressman two bits 'moffered why
gents he knows Tennyson all by heart and'll
outswear any man in the crowd just the thing
for the children monty two bits bid" Here
he stopped to take breath and look reproach-
fully upon the crowd. The accomplished
bird was finally knocked down to Methodist
preacher who came in just in time to hear
that the parrot could sing all of Watts
hymns. The old gentleman started out high
ly elated with his prize; but when the dsrep-
utable bird told him to pull down his vest and
60 to-not to heaven he went back to the
auctioneer and wanted to swap for camel or
something that didn't talk.
