REPUBLICANS are congratulating them
selves and each other on great victory
in the county and State. They, as well
as the Democracy, should not overlook
the causes which led to this result. The
victors are pretty apt to feel satisfied with
throwing up their hats and knowing that
it isso, and leaving to the defeated the
ralmer work of inquiring why it is 50.
This is liable to lead to reversal of the
result next time. The Republi-
cans, though they committed some
errors, made decidedly the better ticket
of the two. Their candidate for Sheriff
did not come from the ranks of chronic
office hunters, but was new to the people
as a politician, but well known to them
rs a business man of the highest charac-
ter and unquestionable qualifications.
Several others of the candidates were men
of the same kind. This won largely upon
the independent element and helped
amazingly to pull the whole ticket
through. Then the workingmen were
for the first time for several years
brought to the support of
the Republican ticket This
was due partly to the fact of the Repub-
.ican ticket being considered by them as
awhole preferable, and partly to the in
;olent treatment which large and high.
Iy respectable delegation received at the
hands of Mr.. Sayler and Mr.. Goss, the
Democratic candidates for Congress in
.he First and Second Districts. The in
1ignation which these two gentle
men excited was naturally visited
apon the whole ticket, just as
ihe assurances and courteous treatment
given the same Committee by Messrs
Young, Butterworth and Weber worked
greatly to the advantage of the whole
Republican ticket. These are facts Of
great Importance in considering the re
ult of the recent election, and both Re
publicans and Democrats should consider
hem carefully in laying down their line:
,f future action.

AFRICAN CIVILIZATION.

The efforts made in years past to civil
re the savages of central Africa by a
liberal distribution of red flannel shirts,
corduroy pantaloons, number II brogans
md moral pocket handkerchiefs, has not
met with success proportionate to the ex-
pense of the enterprise. These articles of
apparel did not seem to appeal to the
higher nature of the unadulterated Afri-
can. In his crude state he wasn't suscep-
tible to the soothing and elevating in
auences of good clothes. The red shirts
were used for banners on grand feast days,
the corduroys to incarcerate refractory
wives, the brogans were converted into
domestic utensils, and the moral pocket
handkerchiefs were cut up into pieces of
convenient size and used as a circulating
medium, like our late postal currency.
1t is now proposed to try music as a
civilizing agency. Gerhard Rohlfs, who
b to lead an expedition from Tripoli to
Wada and Lake Tanganika, has great
many applications from men, who, either
for little holiday sport or to develop
grand ideas, are desirous of accompany
ing him. Of the latter class are several
German musicians who propose the Or
ganization of a full band Of highly culti-
waited artists, capable of rendering the
Casta Diva or the choicest sacred SYM
phonies of Handel or Mendelssohn. By
continuous performance of sacred mel

SUFFERING FOR A WEDDING RING.-Gentle
reader, remember you the bucolic youth
who could go without hat and shoes, who
could get along without coat, pants or vest,
"but, father, Pm jest sufferin' fur buz-

thrown entirely in the shade by William
robbed that he might obtain a wedding
ring Poor man! he was suffering for that
ring, no doubt. When the time comes Mr..
Hangman, take him up tenderly. What
can an Implying world know of the anguish
of one unpossessed Of buzzum pin or OF

STARVED FOR TEN DAYs.-The City of Ches-
ter, of the Inman Line, which left Liverpool
on the oath ullimo, was docked at the foot
of Charleton street, New York, Friday af-
ternoon She is to sail next Thursday and
as soon as the passengers were ashore Walch
Brothers, Stevedores boarded her and set q
gang of 'longshoremen at work to unload
her. A gang of them were employed in her
steerage and in the evening the entrance to
the main hatchway was cleared and the
matches were opened. Immediately under
the main hatchway the laborers discovered
what appeared to be the lifeless body of an
attenuated man. but the air that replaced
the hot and fetid atmosphere of the hold re-
vived him and he family gasped "Oh,
Cod" and put one hand on his stomach.
He was carefully removed to the upper
deck, and rallied sufficiently to say that his
name was James Donnelly, and that he had
been shut up in the hold while drunk. DIR.
Dore, surgeon of the City of Richmond, was
summoned and found him in partially
comatose condition. His eyes were sunken,
his lips were black and his tongue, which
protruded, was dry and swollen. DR.. Dore
ordered ice, brandy, milk and beef-tea and
at first only administered morSels of ice
which Donnelly gulped down.
As the mans condition improved stimu-
lants and beef tea were administered and
at last he was able to say that he belonged
to Dumbarton, in Scotland, and was a riv-
eter by occupation.
He went on board the steamer at Birken-
head on the 23d ultimo. He was intoXi-
Gated, and when he came to his senses he
found the matches battened down and that
all he had to subsist on was bottle of
whisky. This he drank gradually. 1t was
notconsdered prudent to question Donnel-
ly at length, and he was removed to Belle
vue Hospital in an ambulance. He will
probably recover. He was found in a space
fifteen feet feet square under the main
hatch, over which was piled about five tons
of cargo.

Before the Princess Louise knew that she
was coming to Canada she commissioned
Mr.. e. w. Goodwin, distinguished English
architect, to build her studio in Kensng-
ton. 1t is now half-inished and the Prin-
cess has ordered its immediate completion,
declaring her intention of using it on her
return to England. This amiable lady's
popularity among all classes in England is
greater than that of any other member OF
the Royal Family. One reason is that she
meets every one who approaches her with a
sweet kindness, perfectly unaffected, and
thoroughly charming. She behaves like a
refined lady without the stiff hauteur Of
some of her royal relatives. She is in every
respect an admirable woman, fond of arl
and literature, frank, generous and large,
hearted.

Amonth afterward, lying in a pleasant
room that faced the islands and the ocean,
with two tender nurses lowering around
me and bright-eyed, CHEEKY voiced friends
shaking my hands after the rough and
hearty sailor manner, listened to the
story of the end learned how the mob
had disappeared as the clouds before the
sea-breeze; how they scurried and hurri.
ed into the byways and the slums of the
city when our men met them; and how,
in Gods providence, the besieged had
passed from the valley of the shadow Of
death into the light and brightness Of
life.
Pressing my wasted, hand, Don Ramon
told me that, as they left the door of the
mansion, the roof and balconies fell in,
and only huge, unshapen, fame-scarred
mass showed where once was the nest Of
the prettiest birds in the country. And
then one of the birds sang to me song
of thankfulness, and, tired but happy, L
slept with the promise of speedy cone
yalescence, and newly stirred hope til>
ling my grateful heart.
After while gathered up the threads
of the warp and woof of the story, and
one day, when twilight had fallen and
the world was fair as poets dreaming, I
saw the spot where Guitterez's horse had
leaped the barrier and fallen with his
master, bruised unto death, on the shore
below. Then, in another twilight, told
Maria that | loved her, and when next our
vessel dropped her anchor in the haboFs
there was double wedding, and our epf-
thalamiim was ehanted by the men who
had braved fire and bullet to win our
brides from the jaws of the hamlng
mansion.
