IHE OPPONENTS of the silver dollar
the god bond holders; are the meanest,
most sordid and grasplng people that
ever we heard OF. Their sole opposition
arises from their holding the bonds, and
the knowledge that the Introduction OF

PRETTY CLosE.-In the GAZETTE of
the I'd OF September, the day before the
e'ectlon, We stated that the vote of Mr..
Almond would be about 29O0 or 3O00.-
1t was 296S. That was about as close an
estimate We have ever made. In the vote
for MIR. Gallagher we were not abe to
make so close calculation. We did not
think he would receive much over 1900.
But SO many negroes were allowed to
vote on oath in the I'd Ward, which un-
fortunately had Republican Inspector,
and in other wards where there were Re

A strange phenomenon preceded the
issue forth of these foreign bodies. The
patient experienced several hours In ad-
vance, stinging pains, which produced
fever well marked. Then she felt a
sensation as of sudden projection or
shock within the tissues, followed by
prickling sensation. The young girl
then examined the part of the body
which had been the seat of this momen-
tary sensation, and she saw the head of
needle outside the skin to sufficient
length to be caught hold OF and pulled
out. All the needles came out head fore
most. M. Lepaulmier took out 31S. Six
were extracted by the patient herself
There was no trace of inflammation at the
parts from which they came out.
The girl never having displayed any
over-nervous sexcitement, ,Messrs. Lepaul-
mier and Gillette came to the conclusion
that the needles had been voluntarily
swallowed by the young girl with view
vi COliLlltJillB SulClue. Gon6 never gave
any explanation further than to say that
while she was at school one of her COM
rades, who several times had tried to
play ugly tricks upon her, must have
put the needles into sweets, which she
was particularly fond of. This explana-
tion seems difficult to admit. Even up
to the present day needles from time to
time make their appearance through the
body of the young lady.
Similar cases might be multiplied. 1t
is sufficient for us us to have shown that
the exit of needles and pins through the
skin is positive fact. The preceding
details go to show beyond doubt that
pins can often be swallowed without any
serious consequences, and that there is
no need for serious alarm when one has
accidentally been swallowed At the
same time the above case have also
show that it is prudent to abstain from
pins and needles as articles of food.

NB At Bonneville last week large
crowd had assembled on the fair grounds
to witness match between the nine of
rival towns. In the absence of the regular
catcher of one club, James Barry, of Utica,
was substituted. The first man was called
to the bat, and the umpire duly called two
balls and two strikes. The next ball must
have made either three balls or three
strikes. The pitcher delivered it with
great force, and the man at the bat struck
foul tip, the ball passing beneath, just
grazing the bat and striking Barry in the
pit of the stomach. Barry picked up the
ball, threw it to the pitcher and fell to the
ground. The umpire ard striker spoke to
him, but he could not articulate. A physi-
clan was among the spectators, but before
he could get to the injured man, Barry
was dead.

A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in Western town,
a young lawyer, a member of a large
church, got drunk. The brethren said
he must confess. He demurred He
knew the members to be good people,
but that they had their little faults, such
as driving sharp bargains, screwing the
laborer down to low wages ,loaning mon-
ey at illegal rates, misrepresenting arti-
cles they had for sale, &c. But the
good people pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and
own to his sin of taking a glass too
much, for they were temperance peo-
pie, and abhorred intemperance
The sinner finally went to the confess
sion, found large gathering of brethren
and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes glistened with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession.

to attend to it. He never wanted
to retire at an early hour, and then had
Martha remind him that he must sit up
to let the hired girl in. He never had a
gas bill to pay, and the plumber had not
been invented then. He never missed a

STANLEY, THE EXPLORER.
Cincinnati Gazette.l>

tCincinnati Gazette.
It is long step from Welsh poor
house to the dining-room of the Prince
of Wales, but Mr.. Stanley appears to
have made it. A friendly authority,
already quoted in our columns, says
that the poverty of his parents resulted
in his training by public charity. He
grew up into a successful newspaper cor
respondent, but when five years ago he
claimed to have found DR.. Livingston,
many disbelieved him. The literary
and scientific men of London argued
that the alleged letters of the great dis
coverer could not be his productions.
They did not realize the effect that
several years of solitary wandering
among wild men had produced on his
mind. Stanley made good his assertions,
however. The truth of his statements
was established beyond controversy, and
he was rewarded by the medals of the
leading societies, and by jeweled snuff
box from the Queen. His return from
his greater expedition is not SO chillingly
greeted. From the time he reached
Egypt his journey to England was
crowded with receptions and testimoni-
ais. On Thursday evening he was enter
tanned at dinner by the Prince of Wales,
who also attended his lecture before
the Geographical Society, and made a
complimentary speech at the close. The
audience was one of exceptional bril-
iancy, and the Endorsement received by
the great explorer the most hattering
that his native land could bestow. AS
he is an American by adoption, and an
American first discovered his remark
able talents, the reception was, in
sense, international.

THE DARDANELLEs.

The Dardanelles. toward which so
much attention is now directed, fairly
teens with historic and poetic memo
ries. Its navigation was first attempted
by the Argonauts, under Jason, in their
search for the Golden Fleece. At Ably
dos. Xerxes built his famous Bridge of
Boats for the invasion of Greece, and it
was here that the loves of Hero and Le-
ander became world renowned. Lean
der, who lived at Abydos, on the Asiatic
shore, was in love with Hero, the beau
tiful priestess of Venus, >at Sestos, and
regularly swan the strait. One dark
and stormy night he failed to appear,
and when the luckless Hero visited the
shore the next morning the waves had
washed the dead body Of her lover upon
the sands. Overcome by her loss, she
plunged into the sea, and the spot be-
came ever after sacred to their momory.
On the Sd of March, 1910, Lord Byron

in seventy minutes. He was accompa-
MED by Lieut.. Akenhead, whose name
has been handed down to posterity in
the line:

The swim from Abydos to Sestos is still

lists, and will probably continue to be as
long as the glamour of poetry and tradi-
tion hang round the spot.

TRAIN ACCIDENTS IN 1877.

The year 1877 was favorable to the
safe working of railroads in this country.
The number of accidents varies greatly
with the severity of the winter weather.
If it is very cold with much snow, we
invariably have avery large number of
accidents to record. January of last
year was very bad month, and the ac-
cidents reported for that month were
twice as great as the average of the year.
Winter accidents are not always severe,
however, though great many slight
injuries are likely to be caused by them.
One thing may have had the tendency
to reduce the number of accidents in
1877, and that is the general dullness of
passenger traffic. The quantity of traf-
fc, however, is not likely to affect the
number of accidents greatly, unless the
number of trains is changed in conse
quence. Number and speed of trains
are the two chief elements in connection
with traffic that have a direct relation to
the number and fatality of train accl-
dents. The other elements of NEST
effect do not belong to traffic, being con-
ditions of road and equipment, intelli-
gence, skill, and discipline of the work.
ing force, which latter are not likely to
change very greatly in a single year.
The condition of the road and equip.
ment may, however, be changed quite
rapidly, and in times of general business
depression like these, when most rail
roads have had reduced income, there
is always danger that insufficient expen
ditures will be made for maintenance
and doubtless there are always some
roads that are badly starved" under
such circumstances. Such starving
has been suspected of great many i'm
portant railroads since 1873 and charged
upon some Of them, but this is practict
which can not be kept up long withou
becoming manifest, and our accident re
ports covering as they do a mileage in
creasing from year to year, indicate tina
the average condition of American rail
roads has improved rather than depreci
ated of late wears.

Attractive LuncheOns.

There is something very dampening
to the appetite in the aspect of thick
bread and butter rolled in bit of coarse
brown paper, with cookie or two stick
ing to the parcel, and an apple covered
with crumbs at the bottom of the pan.
Such a luncheon often will prevent a
delicate child fram eating at all. A
little care spent in preparation-in cut
ting the bread trinity and neatly, pack
ing the cake in Write paper, and the
whole in fresh napkin, in choosing a
pretty basket to take the place of the
tin pail-is not pains thrown away.
Some children are born fastidious,
and with a distaste for food. They re-
quire to be tempted to eat at all
tempted, not by unwholesome goodies,
but by taking trouble to make simple
things dainty and attractive to them.
We have heard a grown woman, whose
iastidiousness had survived her child
hood, describe with shudder the effect
which her dinner-basket at school had
upon her. The very sight of it took
away all her appetite; and she weni
through the afternoon faint and fasting
rather than meddle with its contents
By all means bake the custard in 6
