The State Register of Iowa gives the result
of the recent election on all members of the
Senate and on all but four members of the
House. The Senate will stand thirty-eight
Republicans to twelve Democrats; the
House stands, so far, seventy Republicans,
twenty-fouf Democrats, and two Green
hackers, and four to hear from.
OF the latter-it is repsrted-two at
EAST will be Republicans, making the Re-
publican majority on joint ballot seventy
two. According to the Registers dis
patches from seventy-four counties, Gear
has a majority over Irish of 1895. The
remaining twenty-five counties will make
this plurality about 10000. On the State
ticket, aside from Gear, it estimates that
the Republicans will AVE a majority over
the Democrats of $4,000. The total vote
of Jessup, Prohibition candidate, will be
about 5000.

who having killed and eaten a Bulgarian

Our attention has recently been called to
the Raritan MatelaSse Uoakings, something
entirely new in the way of heavy, thick,
warm, wooden goods, especially adapted fol
ladies' wear during the cold weather now ap
preaching. These goods are the handsomest
and most stylish ever seen, and SO far as
price is concerned, are a miracle of cheap

Hard Work.

"What is your secret?' asked a lady
of Turner, the distinguished painter.
He replied, ~ have no secret, madam,
but hard work" Says DIR. Arnold,
"The difference between one man and
another is not so much in talent as in
energy" Nothing" says Reynolds,
is denied well directed labor, and
nothing is to be attained without it."
I" Excellence in any department." says
Johnson, "can now be attained by the
labor of a lifetime, but it is not to be
purchased at a lesser price" "There is
but n method" said Sydney Smith,
"and that is hard labor; and a man who
will not pay that price for distinction
had betterat once dedicate himself to the
pursuit of the fox" "Step by STEP"
reads the French proverb, zone goes
very far" Nothing" says Mirabeau,
is impossible to a man who can will.
This is the only law of success" "Have
you ever entered a cottage, ever travelled
in a coach, ever talked with a peasant in
the field, or loitered with a mechanic al
the loom," asked Sir Edward BulweI
Lytton, "and not found that each OF
these men had a talent you have not,
knew something you did not" The
most useless creature that ever yawned
at a club, or idled in rags under the sum
of Calabria, has no excuse for want OF
intellect. What men want is, not talent
but purpose; in other words, not the
power to achieve, but the will to labor

The concluding portion of the report of
Colonel Miles of the engagement with
Joseph's band, the first of which was
sent on Sunday night, has Just come in,
the wires having been repaired. 1t is as fol-
lows:
"To keep the companies with him an
other escort was provided. This last escort
will now be used to convey a train of
wagons which will leave this morning for
Snake Creek, with supplies. l have as
sumed the responsibility of notifying
Colonel Mcleod, the commissioner of the
Canadian Police, of the situation, and of
inviting his attention to the Importance of
preventing Sitting Bull and his followers
from crossing the line.
A. H. TERRY, Brigadier General"
The Tribune's special from Fort Benton,
Montana, of the date of October 5, says that
the scout who brought the report of the late
fight between Joseph's band and the United
States troops, states that Joseph was a pris-
ener in Miles's hands, but was exchanged
for Lieutenant Jerome, of the Second Cav
airy, who had been captured by the In
dams. The story needs confirmation.
The following dispatch is Just received
from headquarters, District of the Yellow.

Hare and HOunds.-The game is
played chiefly by school-boys from ten
to sixteen years old, though often boys
who do not belong to the school are
members of the hunt" and very often,
too, the little fellows are the best run
ners in the party.
The boys divide themselves into two
parties, each having its champion
runner" and lots are drawn as to which
of these rune shall be the "hare" in
the first hunt of the season, afterward
they go by turn.
The rest of the boys are the "hounds,"
and the other champion is the huntsman
who marshals them to the "meet"
(Which is usually the school play
grounds,) gives the signal for the start,
calls them off by a shrill whistle when
they get on the wrong scent, and, in
fact, is "master of the hounds" par
excellence.
The hare" is provided with a small,
open satchel or pouch, slung across his
shoulder, and filled with bits of white
paper about an inch square-heavy
paper that the wind will not carry away.
1t is the privilege of the small boys who
are too little to take part in the hunt to
prepare these bits of paper, and for a
day or two before a " run" they have
great fun in preparing &c SCENT" as they
call it.
The hare is also allowed five minutes
"head start" and is allowed to choose
his own course, but is obliged to scatter
the bits of white paper at short inter
walls all along the way he goes, as they
are his tracks for the hounds to follow.
The five minutes given him he usually
spends in seeking for some obscure
place at which he leaves a little package
of yellow or blue paper to denote the
starting point.
This may be some blocks away, or up
a side street, or just around the corner;
he has his choice, and a free opportunity
to seek it, as the "hounds" go within
doors till the five minutes are up. Then
the huntsman cries " whoopl halloop'
and away they all bound hither and
thither, seeking till they find the
package of colored paper (Which they
are obliged to do before they can start);
the finder must cry "hark! forward"
then off they go, on the scent.
Sometimes so long a time is taken up
in finding the starting-point that the
hare makes famous Roadway, and can
double" on his followers-thatis, re-
trace his way for a block or two on the
other side of the street (leaving the bits
! of paper all along, of course), go round

The Elephant and the Camel.

Elephants have the bitterest eDmity
TO camels. When the camel scents the
elephant it stops still, trembles in all its
limbs, and utters an uninterrupted cry
of terror and alright. No persuasion,
no blows can induce it to rise; it moves
it's head backward and forward, and its
whole frame is moved with mortal an
guish. The elephant, on the contrary,
as soon as he perceives the camel, ele-
Yates his trunk, stamps with his feet, and
with his trunk thrown backward, snort
ing with a noise similar to the sound of
a trumpet, he rushes toward the camel,
which, with its head outstretched and
utterly defenseless, awaits, with the most
patient resignation, the approach of its
enemy. The elephant, with its enor-
nous shapeless limbs, tramples on the
unfortunate animal in such a manner
that in a few minutes it is scattered
around in small fragments.

AN inventor who has had occasion to
refer to the cases in the model room of
the patent office, containing gunpowder
and other chemical compounds, states
that he discovered cartridges which will
explode upon the slightest conclusion.
Some of these cartridges, composed of
gunpowder and collodian, are similar to
those which were condemned at the navy
yard during the war, because of the
numerous premature explosions which
occurred in handling them. The spon-
taneOus combustion of similar compost
lions caused the terrible explosion at the
Washington arsenal in 1864, which
caused 50 many deaths.

An Indian Bridegroom's Forfeit.

An Oregon paper prints the following:
A novel marriage took place among
the Lummi Indians at the Payallup
ferry lately. A handsome young maid
en- had been promised to a young man
who was then ready to claim his own.
According to custom usual among the
Indians in former days, the brave young
buck was obliged to sacrifice some prop
erty before he could have the maiden as
his own. He presented her parents with
four large canoes, $50, a rifle, two shot
guns, other implements of war, and a
number of other articles. These valu-
ables will be returned to the young pair
when the husband has proved to the sat
isfaction of his parents-in-law that he is
worthy of the maiden whom he has taken
to WIFE"
