T,,o s,..u,, ofthe State Elections.

The result of the election in Maryland
Yesterday was clean sweep Tor the
democratic ticket of about $4,000 ma
iority. The aggregate vote was com
paratiyely light, there being generaily
but little active interest felt IN the
election, the result being foregone
conclusion. In Virginia there was no
opposition to the democratic State tick
ct. and this in connection with the re-
onirement exacting the poll tax from
every voter caused light vote. I'm.
portant issues, however, were involved
in the legislative election in Virginia,
and the result indicates the choice OF
majority of delegates opposing read
iustment of the State debt and In favor
of maintaining the Moffett liquor tax
register. In Pennsylvania the demo
cratic gain as reported indicate that
party has carried the State by about
10000 majority. The republicans car
ried Massachusetts by an increased ma
iority. As the republican platform IN
that State contained full Endorsement
of the policy of President Hayes, this
result is significant, and is decided
offset to the action of the New YORK
malcontents under the lead OF Senator
Conklirg. In Connecticut the repu1il-
cans continue in power, thus securing a
successor to United States Senator
Barnum, democrat, in 1879. The re-
turns from Wisconsin indicate the con-
tinuancc of the republican in power IN
that State, as also in Minnesota, Kansas
and Nebraska. Peculiar interest, how
ever, has been felt in the mixed contest
in New York, where no less than seven
State tickets were in the field, including
the republican, democratic, German
American, independent, prohibition,
greenback, workingmens' and bread,
winners. The contest for Secretary OF
State was very energetic on the part OF
the two latter, and the defeat OF the
democratic candidate was thought net
improbable. The election of Hess, re-
publican, in New York city, for regis
ter, over Loew, Tammany democrat, is
considered CERTAIN. DuJ llIO thOSe ~
tercsting feature Of the election IN New
York city was the defeat of the regular
Tammany candidate for the seventh
senatorial district, Augustus Schel!, by
John Morrissey, anti Tammany. The
returns from New Jersey at the time OF
going to press were meagre, From
Mississippi the returns show that the
State has gone democratic with but
slight local exception or two.-BaH'
San.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD.-HAGERs-
TOWN, Nov. THE returns show that
the Republicans have carried Washing
ton county tor comptroller by about
122 majority. The democrats have
elected two members of the House OF
Delegates, Joseph Harrison and Ma
thauiel Fiery; the republicans also two,
Joseph Ii. Farrow and DIR. VIM. ii.
Perkins. The democrats have elected
one county commissioner, John NJ.
Newcomer, and the republicans four,
three of them being John. ]. Hershey,
John w. Stonebraker and Joseph New
conner, there being doubt as to whether
the fourth one will be Isaac Aukeny or
John Heffiebower, their vote, as now
ascertained, being the same.

INDUSTRY.

The industrious man always fluids
more leisure for study and investigation
Khan the lazy, shiltless man. The busy
men keep the world moving; the busy
n.n sustain the farmers clubs, the
Oranges aud the main projects of pro-
gress and Improvement. The lazy man
is always full of trouble; he never sue
reeds; he is alwaysstiadiug fault with
evsy one butBimselt 1t is the idle men
who muthiy atSsea, and there is world
of philosophy in realizing the fact. We
remember an old Cape, Cod sea captain
who, when there was nothing else TO do,
ordered the watch on deck to scour the
anchor. Some Que calls cEeerfulness
the daughter of employment, and it is
certainly true that occupation is the ne
cesssry basis of all enjoyment Men
who have halt dozen irons in the fire
are not the ones to go crazy. Put IN all
The irons you have, shovel, poker, tongs
and all, without the least tear OF beng
loo busy. Ii is the man OF voluntary
or compelled leisure who mopes and
pines himself into the mad house or the
grave. Employment is natures physl-
clan. according to Galen, aud any occu-
patton which is innocent is most certain
" better than none at all.
Schiller d, clared that he found The
greatest happiness in life TO consist III re-
gulardischarge ofsome mechanical daty.
Motion is natures law; action is mans
salvation, physical and mental. Stag
nsnt water becomes putrid, flowing wa
ter is pure and sweet. Idleness in man
is Just as surely moral death. No thor
ougly occupied man was ever yet mis-
cradle, though he may have had an idle
moment when he may have thought so.
Discomfort arises under want OF occu-
patton, and that no man need be with
out who is blessed with health, eyes,
hands and the useful physical endow-
lnents. Real life is thought and ACTION,
and usefulness leDgthens our days. La
illness, like rust, eats into the very heart
OF our strength; it is the paralysis of the
soul. Nature never lies fallow; if we
grow nothing useful, be sure We shall
ourselves run TO weeds
And yet hine persons out of ten are
looking forward to the coveted hour
when they shall have leisure to do moth
ING, or, in other words 10 allow their
energies to stagnate. False philosophy.
All power appears in TRANSITIONS the fire
ily ouly glows when upon The wing.
Keep busy, is the true motto. That man
among us is only truly wise who lays
himself out TO work til! ifes latest hour,
and that is the man who Will live the
longest and who will live to the most
purpose. We live i'll deeds, not in years.
Keep busy
"Absencc of occupation is not rest;
A mind quite vacant is mind distress

FAREWELL. TO WASHINGTON.

Lines Inscribed to Mrs. and Mr.. Kin
bali, of Washington City.
Farewell to thee, dear Washington,
NV heart is still with thee;
Thy lovely parks, thy blooming flowers
never more may see:
never may behold again
Those scenes so fair and gay,
But e'er another sun has set
shall be far away.
How often will think of thee,
Thou loved and valued spot,
And those dear friends | leave behind,
They ne'er shall be forgot.
Hove to think of those bright days,
Fair as the rainbOw's shade,
But all too bright, too pure to last,
They were but formed TO fade.
Farewell to thee, dear Washington.
leave thee with regret;
Thy pretty fountains, too, so grand,
never can forget.
The happy hours | spent while there
Will live in memory's shrine,
And there they'll bloom untarnished,
BY many thoughts of mine.
Farewell to thee, dear Washington,
y long, sad farewell;
| leave thee with heart too full,
Too full for tongue to tell;
And if perchance ne'cr may see
Those whom love so well,
My latest prayers shall be for thee,
Dear friends and Washington.
