The Vote Br States.

On the suppOsition that the President
should be elected by the next House voting
BY States, the question as TO which party
has carried the most becomes important.
The Democrats have been claiming ma
iority all along. but they certainly do not
have it. Here are the Democratic States
according to the COngressiona. delegations:
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
giuia. North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Ohio and 0regon-seventeen.
The Republican States are: Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Hi
nois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ne
brssks, Kansas. Colombo, and Nevads-
eighteen. There are three States remain
ing to be disposed Of: California, winch
is at present q tie, but viii be undoubtedly
Republican, giving the Republicans tneir
nineteen Ststes-enough to prevent an
election by the House. Florida VIII De
fe-one Republican and one Democrat
and Indiana will be tie-six Republicans
and six Democrats-unless the Greenback-
ar should vote with the Democrats, in which
case they would have eighteen States.
They may manage to unseat the Repubi-
can from Florida, but that the Greenback-
ers, who viii hold the balance Of power in
the House, viii hardly be inclined to do.
The vote wiz probably stand nineteen Re
publicsns States, seventeen Democratic and
two ties. This, however, is unnecessary
as the Republicans will have
enough Electoral votes to settle the ques-
tion beyond all controversy.

But in this case it is the mortal Alexander
that Is in everybody's mind and the slang
term Of the street is not "Have you seen
my Emma?" but "Have you found the
body YETI" Innummerable are the irrev-
erent jokes concerning the disappearance
Of Alexander T. Stewards remains, the
robbery of which has for several days
crowded the columns of our great news
papers, and has no doubt, reached this ever
so remote part Of our continent. One OF
the best Jokes that occurs to me now is
that Of young husband who staid late at
his lodge, having ''high time, " no doubt.
When he went home his young wife-she
must have been very young-went to kiss
him. ''UghP' she calculated, horror
stricken, as she caught his breath. 'Now
know where Stewards body is" But the
body has not been heard of nevertheless
and it is said the reward is to be increased
to $4,000 for the return Of the body alone.
The Manhatten Bank robbery is still

whose opinion is worth something, said to

The New York Academy of Science are
continuing their great work in educating
people to the Importance of hygienic princi-
Piles. Many of their suggestions have al
ready passed into legislation. The Presi-
dent said last night that ''such subjects
were better dealt with locally than in
central bureau, regretting at the same time
that in some States the public health code
was imperative, and in many others alto
