dent of Cincinnati and il was here that oc-
CURED very important event in his history

From the New York Times.
New York State and City.

A great victory has been won in New York
for the cause of freedom, progress, and hon
esty. Not only has Cornell been elected by
a very handsome plurality over Robinson,
but all indications point to the conclusion
that the entire State ticket has been elected
by majority which, though small, is deci
sive of republican victory in 1880. For il
must be remembered that not only has Mr.
Cornell's vote fallen some 5000 behind the
vote for Mr.. HOskins in this city--a proper
ton which has been maintained in other parts
of the State-but there are here and else
where considerable number of republicans
whose votes do not appear in the count of the
Gubernatorial ballots at all. The tide of re-
publican enthusiasm, the revived energy OF
republican principles, have carried before
them even the obstacles placed in their way
by weak State ticket and errors of party
management which, at a less propitious time,
would have been fatal to party success. 1,
may be that they have prevented the sweep.
ing republican triumph which all the data al
present before us entite us TO expect. But
they havs certainly not interfered with the
certainty Of carrying the State for a republi-
can Presiden: next year.
The victory in the State has been won in
spite of the plumbers of the party managers
the defeat in the city is due to these blunders.
Withrespectable nominees for county officers
there is no reason why the republicans should
not have elected their men, As it is, the par
ty nominee for Sheriff appears to have been
the only one on the county ticket who ha.
been successful. The republican representa-.
ton in the Board of Aldermen will probably
be less than 1t is at present, though that
loss finds its compensation in the probable
reduction of the Tammany membership OF
the board. While the Kelly vote has fallen
very far short Of the sanguine expectations OF
Tammany Hall, it is considerably greater
both in the City and State than the Robinson
democrats were ever prepared to admit. The
most cheering feature of the result is that, SO
far as we can judge at the present writing,
republicans have carried the State without
the aid Of Kelly. The utter rout OF the local
candidates Of Tammany Hall is a triumph
for the cause of good government which no
intelligent citizen Of New York will value
lightly.
The party majority In the State Senate
and Assembly is so decided as 10 leave no
doubt Of the overwhelming force of the re.
publican sentiment Of the State when un-
trammeled by any considerations of rebuk-
ing dictation or protesting against weak nom
nations. The election in this city Of four
Senators and eleven Assemblymen is elo.
quent of what might have been accomplished
by better nominations for County and Munich
pal officers. The majority in the Senate is
so large as to render virtually certain the
election of republican Senator of the Unit
I'd States In place of Senator Herman in 1881
and thus 10 assure one very ncedful prepare
ton for giving TO tho gext republican admin
istration the support OF > Easjorty in both
branches of Congress.

..Frightening nvali,ls.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them OF
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have a mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody cxpectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &c, have been permanently cured by
'.Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-

from two to three feet higher than

the wall is ten feet high, fifteen
feet wide at the bottom and nve
feet wide at the top. Another TACT
is the size of the stones used in con-

How a Poet Received a Dun.

In recent number Of The Temple
Bar there is story about Balzac,
which is probably new to many
readers. He was, like Dumas, al.
ways in debt, and dreadfully wor.
ried by duns. Once, when he had
gone to bed, one of these uupleas.
ant personages presented himself
and insisted on seeing his debtor.
In vain was he told that M. de
Balzac was i'll, that he was out,
that he was in bed-refused to
bulge. At last the servant, in
despair, told Balzae, who was down
stairs, and to his great amaZement
received orders to show the impor-
tunate visitor up. The tradesman,
already little mollifled, is ushered
Into the sleeping apartment. M.
de Balzac sits up courteously in
bed, makes his creditor a charming
bow, and inquiries to what circum-
stance be may attribute the pleas
ure of his early visit. Flattered by
the warmth of his reception, the
fournisseur murmurs something in
which the word "money' is alone
audible. "Money, my dear fellow?n
cries the man of letters with his
broad smile, full Of bonhommie,
'smoney do you want? Look
In the right-hand drawer
OF the dressing-tableW Be-
coming instantly supple as a glove,
the other runs to the drawer, opens
1t, examines it, puts his hand to
the back-there is nothing. "Ah,"
says monsieur from the bed, "per-
haps the left hand drawer" Same
scrutiny, same result. "Or the
middle one" Still nothing. II
must trouble you to look under the
dressing-table" (M. de Bslzac is SO
polite IT. Is pleasure to listen to
him). The creditor puts his head |
down-no! In this way the
whole furniture of the room
is examined, and, even the
chimney. "Now," says the author,
turning sterniy upon the crestfaIlen
tradesman, In all the majesty of
nightcap, ''if there is no
money in the left-hand drawer of
the dresring table, nor The right
hand drawer, nor the middle draw
or, nor under the bed, nor on the
bed, nor on the wardrobe, nor up
he chimney, how the devil do you /,
