National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-11-06

The New York Times declares that "a
great victory has been won in New York
for the cause of freedom, progress and
honesty" 1t does not explain, however,
that the victory was won despite the luke
warm support yielded by the Times to that
glorious cause.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-11-06

THE current outcry in the Democratic
press about Republican election frauds up
in Maine is made with the design of detract-
ing public attention from a contemplated
attempt by the Democratic Governor and
Council of that State to count out enough
Republican Senators-elect to give the SEN
ate to the Democrats. This result may be
accomplished by refusing to give certificates
of election to the required number of Re-
publcans. The effect of q successful en-
deayor of this kind wou Id give the Demo-
Gratis chance to steal the control of the
State for another year. but it is hardly prob
able they will succeed

JOHN KELLY may be as dead as n door
nail and all that sort of thing, as the Til
denites claim, but we apprehend that he
will be alive and lively enough before the
next National Democratic convention meets
to make them wish he had been more
effectually killed.

lF it shall so turn out that the New York
Republican State ticket, except CORNELL,
is defeated--a thing which we do not con-
eede by large majority-that is but
small speck on the disk OF victory to dim
its glory. The election of Republican
Governor and Legislature is good thing
to do-and then, perhaps, it is not best that
full and sweeping victory should pass
over the entire North at this time, for that
might tend to over-confdence aud careless
ness in the future. AT all events, we have
broken the Democratic column and have
practically solid Republican North
against Bourbon Confederate South. and
it is to be held right there until the Presi.
dental election.

PUBLIC curiosity and political expecta-
tiOn were on tip-toc yesterday regarding the
important message" to the people of the
United States which it was said General
GRANT will deliver at Chicago next week.
The anything -tO-beat-G GRANTEES believed
and hoped he would therein renounce pub
lie life and emphatically decline the popular
offer Of Third Term. But it turns ont
that the story was a deliberate hoax.

Ben BUTLER has absorbed all the life,
energy and agreater portion of the c0nstitu-
ent parts of the Massachusetts, Democ.
racy. This is as we expected, and we now
await further fulfillment of our expecta-
tions when the Democratic convention meets
next year. That he and his followers will
be recognized by that body and their dele
gates admitted to seats therein, there is no
longer any doubt. Happy spectacle! BEN
BUTLER and BEN HILL marching arm-in-
arm under the Bourbon flag!

A Big Jam OF Logs.

The big jam of 10000 900 logs, on
Oarratunk Falls, Maine, was broken
last week, 5000, 900 logs going out at
once, which was said to have been a
grand sight. 1t took sixty.1ive men
thirteen days to break the jam and get
the rear over Carratunk Falls. A por-
ton Of the ledge was removed by blast
ing. Omar CLARK had q crew Of fifty
men in charge from the time the first
log started on Moose river, then on the
main river, until this time, and not an
accident of any kind has happened to a
man, not even the iamming Of q toe.
This makes So. 900, 900 logs that have
passed down river this season.

Steam as a Disinfectant.

DR.. A. N. Bell, editor Of the Santa,
rian, is an advcc tie OF the use of steam
as the most effective method Of purging
ships from yellow fever germs. He
scouts the idea of reaching the cracks
and crannies in the hold Of O vessel by
means of Prof. Gamgee's refrigerating
process. BY the use OF steam every bit
of woodwork becomes SO hot that when
the matches are lifted the heated wood
Immediately dispatches the entire body
of moisture left by the steam. Hestates
that thirty years ago the Vixen, a bad
fever ship, was treated with steam while
she lay at Vera Cruz. Within three
weeks there was not q fever case on
board. The next year she cruised
through the worst fever ports Of the
West Indies without a single case OF
disease. The same method was applied
to the Mahones, a vessel captured from
the Mexicans, a most filthy, sickly craft.
The germs were SO utterly destroyed
that although she sailed from a bad
fever port to Norfolk, not a single case
of fever occurred.

A Clergyman's Rebuke.

A clergyman was annoyed by people
talking and giggling. He pausedplooked
OF the disturbers and said: Il am al.
ways afraid to reprove those who mis-.
behave, for this reason: Some years
since, as I was preaching, a young man
who sat before m was constantly laugh
ing, talking and making uncouth grim
aces. / paused and administered a Sc
we're rebuke. After the close of the
service % gentleman said TO me, Sir,
you have made q great mistake; that
young man was an IDIOT Since then I
have always been afraid to reprove those
who misbehave in chapel, lest / should
repeat that mistake and reprove another
idiot.'

A Eer0clnns Dog.

A bulldog that was stolen from Lord
Dufferin, in Canada, a year ago, turned
up lately in Terre Haute, where she
killed a Texas steer in a street fight.
Col. Burns, OF Evansville, bought her
for s1l0 and fastened her in his stable.
The Evansville Journal Of last Wednes-
day said: Yesterday, while the colonel
wal leading a horse worth $1,000 past
the dog, she leaped toward the horse
with such tremendous force that the
collar snapped like a string. She bu-
ried her teeth in the horses flesh. Col.
Burns seized the dog by the throat with
both hands, and hurting her back, threw
himself upon her as she fell. She tore
his shirt into shreds. At last, with his
heavy boot heel, he planted a blow on
the forehead which stunned the BEAST
The Journal OF Thursday said: Col.
Burns was sitting on horseback at his
front gate yesterday morning, when the
spotted bulldog dashed out the side
gate, having snapped the cast-iron
chain. He whipped his horse into a gal
lop and followed. Capt. App, Of the
police was coming down the street in his
barouche, when the dog dashed toward
his horse and made q leap at his throat.
The horse SHE'D to escape the danger,
overthrowing the barouche and hurting
Capt. App against a shade tree with
such force as to dislocate the right ell
bow. On Parrett street the furious.dog
met o lad and seized him by the collar
of his coat. Both rolled off the plank
walk and down the embankment. Col.
Burns attacked the dog with the butt Of
a heavy whip and knocked her ems
less. The horse ran away during the
fight and has not been recovered. The
dog was hauled home, still senseless.'
The Journal Of Friday said: Marshal
Langolf went to The stables to see the
dog yesterday. She lazily yawned and
pretended to fawn, while her great red
chops, hanging down, were opened and
closed indolently. Langolf went to pat
her head gently, when she leaped at his
throat. The stout trace held her back,
though her paws caught in the mar
shsl's vest and brought him down on his
knees. He drew his revolver and put
two bullets through her head. With a
few struggles the ferocious beast died.

WEAVING the Baby.

The infant should be weaned in one Of
the cool months, not between May and
October. 1t should be about one year
old, not younger than nine nor older
than fifteen months. 1t is very injuri-
ous TO both mother and child TO continue
the nursing too long.
Long before the time OF weaving, the
infant should have become accustomed
to other food, in addition to the breast
milk; it should have learned to drink
milk, for one meal. AT seven or eight
months, this may be varied by the addi-
ton OF softened bread, and by giving
simple meat-soup or beef-tea. 1t is not
particularly desirable to give to healthy
children meals of concentrated soups or
expressed beef-juice; the true aim being
not TO crowd the child with nourishment
Of which it can easily get enough, but
to encourage q vigorous and natural di-
gestion.
As the time for weaving approaches,
the number OF food meals may be in.
creased, so that the child will be induced
to give up the breast with very little
difficulty. Only simple food should be
given, and at regular times, avoiding
pies, cakes, unripe or over.ripe fruits,
soothing sirups, patent medicines, etc.

Deaf.Mute Speaks from Fright,

A seven-y year old deaf and dumb boy,
son Of Benjamin Charles, of Lancaster,
Pa, was knocked down by a two-horse
coach and was trampled under the feet
OF tho horses. Singular to relate, no
bones were broken, nor were there any
internal injuries, or even severe cuts or
bruises; but more singular by far is the
fact that the child, who had never been
known TO utter a loud sound before,
cried out Justify when he found himself
under the feet OF the horses. He was
conveyed to his home in the coach
which ran over him, and il remains to
be seen whether the accident will result
in his finding speech.

Recovering Lost Timber.

That timber in considerable quantity
and OF substantial value is daily found
floating on the surface OF the st. Law.
renee riyeris we'll known, but hat large
deposits OF timber lie sunken at the bot
tom OF the river at various points ada
cent 10 Montreal is a fact that will by no
means be 80 readily credited. Such,
nevertheless, is the case, and daily the
timber is brought to the surface by
gangs Of inhabitants and others, who
sell IL 10 dealers. The bottom OF Lon
gueuil bay, neal the shore, would ap.
pear to be literally covered with timber,
and during the past two months a mum.
Der OF men in canoes, and provided with
chains and graphing hooks, have been
busily engaged in bringing up the logs,
floating them ashore, where they are
hauled away by horses and piled for
sale. The timber consists almost en-
tirely OF white oak and walnut. 1t is
estimated that most Of IL has been in
the river at least from thirty TO forty
years, and has formed portions Of the
numerous timber RATS that, in transit
from the West to Quebec, have been
wrecked or damaged in or above the
Lachine Rapids. The length OF time it
would require even 30 dense a wood as
white oak to become sufficiently soaked
with water az to sink TO the bottom OF
the river and cause it there TO lie as q
stone, warrants the belief that ii has
been there at least during the period
named. Our informant states that the
timber is in a most perfect state Of
preservation, the action of the water or
insects having in nc way impaired its
texture or affected its value. Some Of
the logs brought up at Longueuil are
two feet in diameter and from thirty to
sixty in length. They command, when
delivered in Montreal, from thirty to
thirty-iive cents per foot. Timber beds
of similar character are stated to exist
at many points along the river below
the city, where logs like that of Lon
gueuil occur; indeed, it is difficult to
know the number or extent Of layers OF
valuable wood resting on the bottom Of
the noble water highway that flows past
that city, and which a short time only
may develop.

Mining Gold i'm GeorrIa.

Having got a tremendous head OF
water at their disposal by the compile
ton Of the ditch, stamp mills we're built
far below in the valleys, at points suita-
BILE to the best diggings, and they were
ready to begin operations upon the new
system. The cutting having been open
ed at the brow Of the hill, a reservoir is
constructed, in which the water from
the ditch is allowed to accumulate to
the amount Of thousands Of gallons,
whence a side ditch, controlled by food
gates, leads to the upper edge Of the
cutting. From the mine downward a
channel is arranged, as ~precipitous as
possible, leading directly to the stamp
mill, where a room is open to it's n
trance. If now @ torrent should sud-
denly be poured into the cutting,
away up there on the edge Of the
mountain, which seems almost to over
hang you, it is evident that all the
loose material would be swept out and
sent headlong downward to the bottom
of the hill. What q natural freshet
would accomplish by accident is pre-.
cisely what the miners do by a%rtifce.
They dig away all day at the loose
soil and easily d~isintegrated rock, break
up the larger fragments into smaller
pieces, and strew everything, good,
bad and Indifferent, in q careless pile
on the floor of the cut. Then at sun
down they gather up their tools, climb
out of the diggings, and open the gates
of the reservoir. A torrent sweeps
through the mine, cleans out every
loose rock and fragment of dust, and
hurls it down into the mill, where Q
rack catches all the coarse material
and lets the water drain through into
the much-tortured Yahoola. The whole
product of the days excavation has
been deposited on the floor of the mill,
half a mile away, ready to be shoveled
under the stamps, which chew on it all
night, and it has not cost a penny for
transportation.

who she was until he had married her,
has recently died of a broken heart in

N. Y, who whipped his daughter for
accepting q very nice young man, has
been hanged in efigy by the boys in the
street. A Syracuse girl, comedy, intel
ligent and attractive, has joined the
Oneida Community. A medical student
in Ohio wears a pair Of low summer
shoes made out of the skin Of a Cincin-
natl belle, whose body was stolen from
the grave and. hacked to pieces in q
dissecting room. And the rattle Of the
king Of American snakes echoes through
all the news.rooms Of the far West.

Uncertainty Of CIrcumstantiaI Evidence.


A British officer, dining in accompany
Of strangers, had q narrow escape in the
folio wing way: A gentleman took out q
coin and declared that no n present
had seen one like it. The coin passed
around the table, and came last to the
British officer. All the rest declared
that they had never een such q coin.
When it reached this officer he was
busy in a conversation, and taking
the coin in his hand and looking at it
careleSsly, remarked, i have seer n
like it, and laying it down resumed his
conversation. AT the end of the dinner
the coin was not to be found. To dis
cover the thief all were searched until
they came last to this officer. He re-
fused to be searched, and said he would
die first. Just as they were about to
proceed to extremities with him a SER
want rushed forward with the lost coin,
which he had just found in a napkin.
ALI a~pologized to the officer for the sus-
picion, very strong q moment before,
that he had secreted the coin. He re-
piled: Gentlemen, permit nj to OK

Hydrophobla After Fourteen Years.

A peculiar case of bydrophobia has de-
veloped at Tafin, Ohio. Mr.. Alex. Nc
Kittrick, a young man Of t~wenty-eight
years, was fourteen years since bitten by
a mad dog, and at the time was treated
in the usual way with such cases until
he was supposed to be cured and safe.
Lately he has been afflicted with in
Hammatory rheumatism; it left the body
and went to the brain, rendering him
crazy. On Saturday he was seized with
o spasm very much resembling hydro
phobia, frothing at the mouth, barking
like a dog, and swapping at anything
within reach. These spasms have been
repeated several times, and growing
worse until there can be no doubt Of The
presence OF hydrophobia, and it must
have come from the bite Of the rabid
dog fourteen years ago.

The Great Canal.

The length of the Suez canal is ninety
two miles. 1t cost $S7, 593, 645, exclu-
sive of So, 300, 900 in bonds issued to
pay for coupons on shares in arrear
during part of the period Of construc-
tion. Ofthe first issue OF 400, 900 shares
of 300 each, 176. 6O2 belonged formerly
to the khedive Of Egypt, but were sub
sequently purchased from him by the
British government in November, 1875,
for $40, 1872. $40. In 1877, the last year
reported, the canal had its greatest
trade and largest profit. There were
1858 vessels passed through, OF 3,419,-
900 tonnage; the gross receipts were
Sc. 635 200, the working expenses ST.
1876, 200, and the net profits IS, 4S0. 900.
More than three-fourths Of the shipping
that passed through the canal during the
eight years Of its operation ending in
1877 belonged to Great Britain.

The Match Fiends.

The gentlemen who carry match box
es are the terror of hotel clerks and sa-
loon keepers. 1t may be given as a
sure average that Of every ten men who
own match safes nine depend upon no.
tells and barr ooms to keep them filled.
When the safety match, which refuses
to light a when scratched upon its
own box, appeared, the heart of Boni-
face rejoiced. But his Joy was Of short
duration. Match boxes for the pocket
with the necessary prepared surface in
sheets, that it could be renewed as fast
as worn out, were soon invented. They
were an unwelcome surprise to the bar
keeper, and a laughable story is told Of
a 1ismayed Dutch saloon man who was
explaining to a customer the economy
of the safety match, His visitor agreed
with him, and then coolly ~replenished
his pocket-safe and struck a match to
show the German how the continuance
worked. In Europe, however, if you
take any matches from O saloon the law
gives attention to the matter. For ex-
ample, a farmer at Ulfa, in the Grand
Duchy Of Hesse, has been condemned
to eight days imprisonment for carry
ing away from a tavern a portion Of a
box of matches which had been handed
to him that he might use one to light
his cigarette. And not long before, the
same court condemned another person
to the same punishment for pocketing
a newspaper, under similar circum-
stances, in q cafe.
