Total vote In the city,. 2S46
Gallagher's majority over Patterson,
PA over Fraiu, 291.
This is over four hundred less than the
vote polled at the last general election in
1876, when the vote cast for the Repub-
lican electors reached 1850. The total
Republican vote at the city election last
year was 22i7.
AFTER THE BATTLE.
Before eight o'clock the result was as
certained, and then the fun began. Many
of the Gallagher and Patterson adher-
ents were inflamea with whisky, and
while the former were jubilant over their
success the latter were fearfully indig-
nant at their humiliating defeat AT the
Water Department office, Tenth ana
Market streets, Capt. Gallagher held a
grand leyee, at which his enthusiastic
friends almost tore him to pieces in their
frantic efforts to personally congratulate
him on his success. They flung their
plaudits on the evening air, and made
the building ring with their cheers and
shouts of joy.
Through all the hubbub and confusion
the Captain maintained his usual even
composure, trifie elated, 1t is true, by
his sweeping success, but with his head
unturned and his mental equilibrium
undisturbed by the sincere congratula-
tions that were showered upon him. He
was not disposed to crow over his defeat
ed competitors, but wore his palms of
victory with the air of a chieftaih who
bad achieved success because success was
deserved.
After the crow d had somewhat exhaus-
ted their jubilact feelings, they escorted

What is the use of NIL the pitiful
blatler about resumption aud the
endless tinkering OF Congress with
the currency, when specie payments
are near about accomplished, and
it is likely viii actually be SO within
few weeks, under the natural laws
which Legislation is always seeking
to interfere with, and only can't
repeal? The greenback dollar is
to-day worth 50 IL cents in gold,
and within thirty days will proba-
bly, be at par with it. What then
becomes OF all the balderdash about
necessity for more currency? All
that is wanted is that business
should be let alone. All confidence
is wrecked in The sea Of Legislation,
and the interests of commerce and
industry are at the mercy of every
tavern legislator who wants to get
his name in the papers. If Con-
gress would throw overheard all its
currency bills and agree for two
months to suspend its idle blathcr
about money, the very air over the
whole country would sing with the
buoyancy of returning confidence.
and the sweep of business would
ride down this injurious fallacy Of
Congress relief, that bellies every
true priciple aud al common sense.
By the time the date of resumption
arrives people would wonder that
ever all this mischief should have
been tolerated, and why such laws
were ever made, and why great
people spend most of their time in
iegislating notes into the hands of
creditors, and then doing all that
can be done to discredit them.-N.

Family Recipes.

L. For repairing family jars
Mutual love we'll stirred with for
bearance, mixed with readiness to
forgive and geneal good temper, is
an admirable cement. 1t is well
to let all family jars be shelved at
once.
2. Preserving-The temper is
best kept b, using as little vinegar
as possible. The heart, by using
abundantly of the oil of grace.
Treasures, by laying them mp where
neither moth nor rust doth cor
rupt
3. Creams-The milk Of true
faith, if it stands long enough,
yields the cream of assurance; If
favored with the essence of love it
is delicious dish.
4. Stews-These are best avoid
ed by leaving our troubles with
him who sent them.
5. Pickle -Those persons get in
to them most who NEEDLE with
other peoples business, or who act
on the rule OF policy rather than
that of truth and answering hon
esty.
6. Dressed peacock-This is too
common and poor production to
be introduced into Christian fam
lilies.
z. To cure cold and heartburn
Do all the good you can, live near
TO God, love your neighbor as your
self.
s. Fritters-Novel reading, silly
conversation, gossiping, ceremonial
visits and late rising, soon fritter
away time. Christians have not
moment to waste.
9. Tart Some think tart replies
to be smart, but it is never wise to
let our wit wound other peoples
feelings. Soft answers turn away
wrath, tart speechers lead to gen.
eral sOurness.
10. Sauce-Never to be tolerated
in children; avulgar and evil thing
in any one. Generally found to go
with goose.
IL. Crabs-Need grating with
some sweet fruit. He who can do
it is named in john I5:l.
IL. Toasts--Least likely to effect
the head when drunk III water.
Toast and water is far better than
healths drunk in wine.
IL. MincIng-O nly practiced by
very silly persons; natural manners
are best. See Isaiah 3:l6, for q
warning against those who are
described AS walking and mincing
rs they go. "-Spurgeon.
