OuR specials from Columbus, Cincinnati
and Cleveland this morning, express the
feelings and opinions Of intelligent Re-
publicans at those points as to the likeli-
hoOdsot the great contest in Ohio to-day.
We can add but little to these
advices. All We can say is that
from near by and far off comes the
sane story Of Republican confidence in
aRepublican victory to-day. The more
careful and conservative generally put
Fosters majority at 5000. All the esti.
mates are, Of course, largely guess work.
Captain DaniOrd, who is careful political
calculator, and who has traversed large
portion Of tue State, sets his estimate at
about 5000. There are others, however,
more sanyuine, who go as high as 10000
tO95OOO.
There will be great deal Of anxiety
throughout the country to hear the news
from Ohio tonight. There will beyarious
points in this city to which the wires will
carry the news direct. This will relieve
the newspapers to very considerable
extent, and permit them to proceed with
more satisfaction in the work Of preparing
the returns for the general public next
morning. We expect very full news at this
office up TO the latest hour Of the morn
ing, and whether good or bad, from our
standpoint, shall serve them up in as in.
tRlligible shape as possible to our readers.

~ Ticket Over In Belmont To-Day,


" Ticket Over In Belmont To-Day.
AlleleCtion tickets must be printed on
white newspaper, and the names OF the
various candidates must be a quarter OF
an inch apart. All erasures must be
plainly made with a pen or lead pencil.
Look out for tickets with the name Of
David a. Hollingsworth, the Republican
candidate for Senator, crossed with marks
such as the back Of a knife might make.
Thisis a trick, and is intended to beguile
the unwaryinto voting ticket over which
adspute will arise, and which may be
thrown out. The marks are visible on the
back Of the ticket as well as over the
name. Therefore examine your tickets
before voting them. The following is the
genuine Republican ticket:

A QUIET HOUSE.

My house is quiet now, so still!
ALI day hear the ticking clock,
The hours are numbered clear and shrill,
Outside the robins sing and trill,
The sunshine sleeps upon the sill,
My house is quiet now, so still!
But silence breakes nv heart! wait,
And waiting yearn for call. or knock
To hear the creaking of the gate,
And footsteps coming soon or late
To greet me sitting desolate.
The silence breaks my heart wait!
All through the lonely house go,
From hall to hall, from room to room.
What should seek to find or know?
The brooding shadows spread and grow,
The startled echoes mock me SO,
As through the lonely house 60.
All! blessed Heaven, if I could hear
Sweet noises in the tranquil gloom,
Soft broken songs and laughter clear,
Then joyous tumult, glad and near,
That vexed me many happy year
All! blessed Heavens, if could hear!
Alb! blessed Heaven, if once once more
My longing eyes might see the stain
Ut little footprints on the floor,
And grouped like roses at the door
The sweet ehild-faces gone before.
All! blessed Heaven, but once, once more!
My house and home are very still!
watched the sun, watched the rain,
The winter days come white and chill,
And years go on. Perhaps Death will
LIES broken promises fulfill
My house, my home, my heart are still!

A Future King.

The English people, says the Adver-
tiser, have but just awakened to the fact
that the elder of the two sons of the
Prince of Wales is probable heir to the
throne, and that he is, as such, an inter-
est1ng person. At the same time they
remember, with mixture of amusement
and amazement, that they know almost
nothing about him. In fact, they are
rather puzzled, when it is necessary to
speak of him, to know how he is to be
called. He is, in full, Prince Albert Vic
tor Christian Edward. He used to be
styled Prince Albert Victor of Wales.
Popularity he has been known as Prince
Victor. When he was studying on board
the Britannia he was called Prince Ed
ward. Out of the abundance of titles it
is not easy to make choice, and the
British public seems to be as much Eat
sea" metaphorically as the prince now is
literally, in attempting to discover any
thing interestiong OF gossipy about one
who, if he lives long enough, will be the
ruler of vast empire. The Prince was
born at Frogmore Lodge, Windsor, on
the Sth of January, 1854, and has, there
fore, nearly completed his sixteenth year.
He was born and has lived-that Is all
the English people really know about
him. Occasionally he has accompanied
his parents in their travels here and there,
and his features have excited some mild
interest in the family photographs. But,
IN general, his history and bis person are
unknown, and his life has been almost as
obscure as that of any boy in the king
dom.
What has now drawn attention to him
is his sailing, in company with his broth
er, whom all the English folk know as
Prince George of Wales, on a voyage
round the world. The two princes have
been trained on board the Britannia, and
now they go as cadet midshipmen on the
ship Bacchante, which sailed from Ports
mouth harbor on the 18th of September,
and proceed to Portland, where, after
week spent in drill, the ship is to de-
part for short cruise in the Mediterran-
can, and to pass the winter in the West
Indies. Of course very little will be
heard from the young princes while they
are absent on this voyage. and they will
return a year or two hence tall striplings,
one of them just coming into manhood.
AS they are the only sons Of the Prince of
Wales, the succession would pass, in case
of their death, to the aughters, and
once again the British throne would be
occupied by woman.

and at last the haunting effect OF being

stopped short and faced about. The
footsteps approached, and through the
gloom, just being family dissipated by
rising moon, I made out tall, thin fig
ure. "Good-evening, sir" said the owner
of the figure; "a lonely road and dark

had but very scanty clothing, and that

heavily as he walked. After silence,
he said, "You are tourist, sir, see by

cuffs hanging to his wrist. "'Twasn't

they copied me, and the man as did the

let me walk alongside of you until we

We heard the sound of horses hoofs,
and soon came upon police patrol.
They looked hard at us as we passed, but
my knickerbockers and knapsack won
the game, and they were soon out of
sight. ''That's all right, sir" said the
poor wretch at my side. "Soon I shall
be in my own country, among friends
who will soon off with these darbies, and
keep me snug and dark until the affair

AS we approached Dawlish, the man
stopped, thanked me heartily for having
provided him with respectable convoy,
and disappeared. I suppose I had been
defeating the ends of justice, but nothing
would have induced me to place myself
between the poor wretch and his liberty,

many guests. A man fond of and willing
to pay we'll for fast horses trots quickly
into the affections of the aristocratic old
breeders, especially in Kentucky. Here
Mr.. Penistan expended 100000 dollars
on stock farm. He had theory that
by blending the best racing with trottlng
stock, the fastest trotters in the world
could be produced, Glowing statements
ere at times sent to him of promising
colts that were to be the coming horses,
but when the time came to try them they
were found wanting. Indeed, it is said
that he often paid extravagant Sums for
colts that he had never seen. At q sale
of his trotting stock in Fayette county,
KY., early last fall, seventeen head. IN
Guiding stations, mares and geldings,
highest price realized was $500, and the
lowest $85 for SINGLE horse. The others
averaged about 5000. Then came tum-
bles in real estate, and the man who had
become rich with wave of fortunes wand
found himself overwhelmed by waves
from sea Of troubles. He. sold out az
ter an experience of three years in Ken

were sold for mere song. His farm
brought far less than the cost price. It
only shows how soon a fortune of half a
million can be got away with by fast
horses and bad run of luck.

conclusion, "that Mr.. Penistan remarked
to an old friend recently, major, it would

Making a Fathers Grave,

The Sandusky COhlo) Register relates
the following story: A little girl with
tangled locks peeping from under cal
leo hood, clad in dress OF chintz, loiter-
ed behind as the great dusty crowd moved
out of the gates Of Mount Adna the other
day, after they scattered their flowers and
done honor to the dead. Dreamily she
gazed after them, her eyes filled with
far-away look of tenderness, until the
last one disappeared and the rattle of the
drums had died away. Then she turned
and vaguely scanned the mounds that
rose about her, clutching still tight the
fading bunch Of dandelions and grass
that her chubby hand held. An old man
came by and gently patted her curly head
as he spoke her name, but she only shrank
back still further, and when he told pass
er by that the little ones father had
diedon shipboard and had been buried
at sea, there was only tear-drop in the
child's eye to tell that she heard or knew
the story. When they were gone she
moved to a neglected, empty lot, and
kneeling down she piled up mound OF
earth, whispering as she patted it, and
smoothed it with her chubby hand. 'sThis
won't be SO awfully big as the others, I
guess, but may be it will be big enough
so that God will see it and think papa is
buried here" Carefully she trimmed the
sides with;the grass she plucked, murmur
ing: "And maybe 1t will grow 50 that it
will be like the rest in two or three years,
and then may be papa will sometime
come back and But she paused as
though it suddenly dawned upon her
young mind that he rested beneath the
waves, and the tear-drops that sprung to
her eyes nloistened the little bunch of
dandelions that she planted among the
grasses on the mound she had reared.
When the sexton passed thatWay ct night
as he went to close the gates he found
the little one fast asleep, with her head
pillowed on the mound.
