It was game OF bluff, and 1t came
within q single step Of winning. In the
most serious business of the American
citizens lite-the selection of the chief
officer CT the governmental the Demo
cratic party appealed to the fraternity OF
gamb lcrs to carry Tilden into the Presi-
Dental chair. From robbing innocent
grcenhorns by cheating at cards Morris
sey turned his attention TO the making
of O president, by Offering TO bet that he
would be elected. yr. Hewitt, Chair
man of the Democratic Committee, und
Mr.. Morrissey, king Of the gamblers,
PLAYED into each ether hands. Hewitt
claimed three -fourths Of the electoral
college, issuing flaming prociamations TO
that effect, and MorIissey responded by
Offering large odds in his bets. 1t was
an infamous combination, devised and
perfected for an infamous purpose. But
IT went far toward achieving success.
Democrats all over the country believed
Hewitt and Morr>sey, and bet their
money freely and the more they bet the
more certain they became of snccess, and
the more unscrupui0n5 in the methods
adopted TO win the election IN order to
win the money at stake. Nor vas this
wholesale betting without its effect upon
Republicans. As Democrats waxed in
confidence, and proposed IN almost every
instance TO back their confident opinions
with money, Republicans lost courage.
For three weeks the Democratic party
was led by Morrissey, the gambler, in a
grand charge of bets. Morrissey's pools
and Hewiit's proclamations cost the
Democrats very dear. Their money
will pass into the hands Of Republicans,
and they will heap curses loud and deep
upon tho reckless men who conducted
the Democratic campaign.-lnter Ocean.

R0m Iipdrn'S Wife.

The Empress of Brazil has presented
the Queen of England with "a dress, the
equal of which has never been seen. 1t Is
woven Of spiders webs, and is, as may
be imagined, q work of art as regards
quality and beauty. The handsome 81 k
dresses cannot compare with il, but it
can only be admired, hardly inflated.
There have already been many attempts
10 make use of the threads spun by
spiders, but up TO the present the cxper
iments have not been satisfactory
enough 10 encourage any further efforts
in this direction. In the year ITO ii
was discovered that to make piece of
silk 1t would require the webs of 700,-
900 spiders. The Spaniards had already
tried to use the spiders thread, and
make gloves, stockings, and other arti
bles of the sort, but even these were 80
troublesome and yielded so little profit
that in spite Of the fabulous price paid
they were Obliged To abandon the trade.
In certain parts of South America gar
ment. made OF these threads are worn,
but the sp ders III these lands are unusu-
ally large. 1t Is likely that the above
mentioned dress was made OF thread, OF
the smaller species OF American spider.
There il, therefore, some hope that the
time is not far distant when, thanks 10
the progress OF modern industry, fash
ionable ladies may have the satisfaction
Of wearing elegant silks OF the same del
icate texture.

The grasshoppers are not found alone
on our own continent but in all parts OF
the world. Foreign countries have had
some experience in getting rid OF the
hoppers, and it is from them We may
learn practical lessons. The birds are
the most effective enemies the grasshop-
pers have. The Kansas City Journal,
in treating of the grasshoppor subject,
says, that in India there is a bird called
the grakle, similar to the black bird,
which is rapid breeder and an immense
consumer of locusts. la the Isle Of
Bourbon they have been twice imported,
and twice rid the island of locusts. 10
Russia, Poland and Egypt there is the
"rose colored blackbird," which destroys
them in incredible numbers. Wilson,
the naturalist, estimates that two million
birds will in three weeks consume over
one million bushels of insects, and eggs
besides. These birds ought to be i'm
ported into this country.

MO Is PkEsIDENTS

This question is asked forty times a
day and no one can answer it. People
know little more about it to-day than
they did a week ago TO day. AS the
count now stands If Tilden secures the
electoral vote of either Louisiana, South
Carolina or Florida Qhree doubtful
States he will be elected. 1t may take
several days before anything definite or
final concerning the result can be ascer-
tanned. Louisiana seems te be the bat
tie ground now. Prominent men of
both parties have been sent TO that state
10 watch the. count. Troops are al.
ready there 10 protect the caavassers
from the attacks of White Leagures and
ku klux. As we understand it the re-
turning board (canvassers) meets today.
Consequently We shall not hear of the
result much before Saturday.
Terribly close has been this Presiden-
tial contest. The question arises as to
whether or not stronger Republican
candidate than Ruthtord B. Hayes could
have been put in the field. We believe
he was the best and strongest man we
could have brought forward. Blaine, in
our opinion, could hot have carried Ohio,
nor any other closely contested state.
The electoral vote for President will
be closer this year than it has been for
many years. In 1877 John Adams re-
