ELBoT1oNs LAST TUESDAY.

Elections were held last Tuesdayin eleven
States-in New York, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin and Minnesota, for Gover>
nor and other officers; andin Virginia, Penn
sylyania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Mich.
gan and Nebraska, for members Of Legisla>
ture, etc.
The result-in New York is the election Of
Cornell to the Cove roorship, and the conse.
guent defeat of Robinson and the curtail,
ment of Mr.. Tilden's aspirations to the
Presidency; whilst the large majority by
which the remainder of the Democratic
State ticket is elected places the Empire
State squarely within tho ranks of the
Democratic column for $780,
Butler is defeated in Massachusetts,, and
his guns, we trust, forever spiked.
Maryland gives Hamilton, Democrat, q
rousing majority for Governor, and proves
herself true Democratic State.
Virginia, it is feared, gives the readjust-
crs small majority in the Legislature,
which will probably secure the election Of
General Malone to the u s. Senate. The
debt ettlement will not, however, be inter-
fered with by direct legislative repeal, as the
re adjusters will be far short of a two-thirds'
majority, and Governor Holiday will uu,
doubtedly veto any measure looking to an
opening up OF the question:
PeDnsylvania, Connecticut and the other
northern States, have gone Republican as
usual.
i S.-The latest indications from Vir.
ginia are tina. the debt,payers will have tie

Hon. D. B. LuoAs.-A correspondent
writing from Clarksburg in the Wheeling
Register, says:
have heard but little said of late about can
dldates in this State for the Offices to be filed
next year. I recently called the attention of a
prominent gentleman and Democrat from Graf
ton to the necessity of the Second Congressional
District having a representative i'll Congress
as soon as possible He said they appreciate
that necessity. and that it seemed to him that
Mr.. Lucas. of Charlestown. was the coming
man. He seemed to think that the gentleman
who is laboring under tue impression that be is
representing the Secoud District stands no pos
sible show for q third term.
There seems to be purpose on the part
of certain ambitious gentlemen in this sec.
tion TO antagonize Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Lu-
cas-, the only two gentlemen in the district
who are prominently spoken of for the nomi-
nation. The object of this is to bring to the
front certain aspirants for Mr.. Martins place
who of themselves have no personal strength
in the party. The friends Of Mr. Lucas arc
the friends of Mr. Martin, and these wish to
see only friendly rivalry between them.

Slams of Weather

Dew is a sign of fine weather, and is
never seen except under a cloudless
sky. Wind and clouds are sure preven-
tatives of dew, from the simple reason
that clouds are able to retain some of
the solar heat; and, as they can give
forth warmth, the radiation from the
earth is checked, and warmer temper
ature preserved. Wind evaporates the
moisture as fast as it appears; and if
the wind is Westerly, there is little dew
or cloud to be seen. The contrary is
observed with an Easterly wind, but a
West wind blows over a vast expanse of
land, and having lost its vapor, dries up
any moisture it may come across; where
as an East wind crossing the Atlantic, is
full of vapor and sheds dew on all sides.
These remarks, of course, apply chiefly
to particular localities, but the influence
of a West wind may be seen in the
Spring. Dew is more copiously deposited
in Spring and Autumn than in Summer,
as there is usually greater difference
in those seasons between the temper
ature of day and night; in Spring, now
ever, there is small deposit Of dew
when a West wind prevails; but in
Autumn, during the soft influences of
South and East winds, the earth is COW
cred with moisture. 1t has also been
observed that there is a greater forma-
ton of dew between sunset and mid
night.

Cato, at so years of age, learned to

Plutarch, when between 20 and so,

Boccaccio was 35 years Of age when

Dante and Petrarch being the other two.
Sir Henry Speiman neglected the
sciences in his youth, but commenced
the study of them when he was between
so and 80 years of age. After this time
he became a most learned antiquarian
and lawyer.
Doctor Johnson applied himself to
the Dutch language but a few years
before his death.
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great
age of lis, wrote the memoirs of his

Ogibly, the translator of Homer and

Franklin did not fully commence his

Though it has always flourished most
In the congenial atmosphere of civil
Ind religious liberty enjoyed under Prot
estant government, yet at no time has
any branch of the Christian church been
excluded from participation in its priVi-
ieges, and of late it has opened its pOr-
tails to Jews and other believers in the
purer forms of Monotheism Though
numbering amongst its members many
Of the best and Wlsest of men, it has
been prosecuted by some European gov
eTnments with relentless cruelty, and is
still denounced by the Romish hier-
archy as an impious association, the
members of which are ipSo tacto excom-
municate. In other countries it is often
looked on as a great benefit society, the
high pretensions and pompous acces-
sories of which are calculated to pro-
woke a smile of amusement, if not of con-
tempt. Great, however, are the benefits
of Free masonry it is far more than a
benefit society. It may be defined, in
its own words, as beautiful system of
morality, yelled in allegory, and illus
trated by symbols" It lives and in
structs in emblems and symbols, in
which the leading idea is that the Free
masons are q body of Masons, engaged
in the erection of a spiritual temple,
affording to each that encouragement
and aid, material or moral, of which he
may stand in need bound to practice
collectively and individually every pub
lie and private virtue; to contemplate
all mankind as brethren, but especially
those united by the same sacred tie,
whatever their station, or their place in
the social scale; TO practice Charity"
in its broadest and deepest meaning;
to do all this silently, secretly, without
publicity or ostentation, this and nothing
less, is the purpose, the labor of the
craft. This is incumbent on every Ma
son, whatever his abilities or his oppor-
tunity, but it involves also a devout and
intelligent study Of the sciences, as the
works of the Great Architect of the
universe.

Lsoeod of tho Iron Mask.

During the seventeen years cOnfine-
ment of this strange prisoner in Sainte
Marguerite, st. Mars, who brought him
to the fortress, was replaced by a Mon
sieur de Bonpart, as governor. The
daughter of the latter, Just emerging
from childhood to EOmanhOOd, grew up
with this mystery about her. She had
seen the graceful figure of the masked
prisoner promenading at night upon the
terrace and at worship In the chapel,
where he was forbidden to speak or to
uncover his face, the soldiers in attend
ance always having their pieces pointed
toward him if he should attempt to do
either. She discovered that her father
always treated him with the greatest re-
spect, serving him bare-headed and
standing. His table service was of mas
sive silver, his dress of the richest vel
vet, and he wore the finest linen and
the most costly lace. She had heard
her father accidentally speak to him as
''the prince" No wonder that his sad
fate occupied her thoughts by day, and
his noble figure haunted her dreams by
aight.
She, too, was very young and beaui-
fnl, and their eyes occasionally met in
chapel He sang beautifully, and was q
very skillful performer on the guitar.
1t is said she climbed the rocks under
the castle terrace and sang songs to the
moor captive. Thus a romantic love
sprang up between them, and as it gained
strength the young girl dared to purlOiR
the keys from her father, and so OBJ
tanned access to the prisoner. When the
governor discovered his child treachery,
L., -, l. u
His oath was binding upon him to put
to death Immediately any one who had
spoken to the prisoner. But she con-
fessed her love for him and pleaded
piteously y for her young life. The cap
tive, also, to whom the governor was
much attached, joined his prayers to
hers, and implored that they might be
made man and wife, and then the secret
would be safe. The governor was not
sterr enough to immediate his child, and
perhaps CLEAN of ambition may have
flashed across his mind, as in the event
of the death of Louis XIV, the prisoner
would be acknowledged, and his daugh-
ter sit on the throne of France.
However their nuptials were per-
formed by priest of the castle in the
dead of night, and all were sworn to
secrecy. From this union two children
were born. A whisper of this reaching
the ears of the minister, the Marquis of
Louvois, the prisoner was Immediately
removed to the bastile for safe keeping,
and the mother, the priest and the gov
ernor disappeared. The children were
sent to Corsica, to be brought up in OBJ
scurity under the name of their grand
father, Bonapart, which was corrupted
into Bonaparte. And thus, says the
legend, Providence avenged the wrongs
of the twin brother of Louis XIV, and
restored the eldest branch of the Bour-
bon line to the throne of France.

i y
yielding disposition, their meetings
were necessarily clandestinely held.
Time passed on and they were
married on February 10, 1874. The
father aggrieved and respondent at
the action of his daughter and the
loss of his own wife a short time
before, finally died. At the funeral
several special policemen were sta
toned at the gates and avenues to
keep Chase from entering. In the
will, which bequeathed the large es-
tate to the heirs, was a provisO that
forbade Mary entering into the pos
session of or controlling in any way
her share while she lived with Chase
and also stating that Chase should
never be benefited thereby. Every
thing has been done to thwart the
fathers purposes in this regard by
the Chase's, but without success.
Edward and Mary not having. any
control of the legacy, were slowly
but surely being brought down to
poverty. People refused him credit
and even the roof over their heads
was sold.
Such was the history and condi-
ton of the Chase's, when a petition
was sent into the November term of
the Superior Conrt by Mary Chase,
praying for divorce from her hus-
band, Edward, on grounds of Sin
tolerable cruelty" No one proba-
bly, iD this section ever anticipated
such a thing, knowing they lived in
perfect harmony and felicity.
The divorce was granted and
Mary Naples then presented her
claim for the property, asserting
that she was no longer the wife of
Chase, which was corroborated by
her presenting her divorce papers
to the trustees, who Immediately
gave the control of the property,
which consists of houses, bank stock
and bonds worth thousands of dol
lars, into her hands.
Edward and Mary again met as
lovers, and at the end of two days,
the sequel shows, they were once
more united in the bonds of holy
matrimony. The wedding tour No.
two was not as extended as the first
and the ceremony throughout
conducted on a strictly private
scale, without ostentation.- Nor

SLEEP AS A MEDICINE A physi-
.eiar says the cry for rest has always
been louder than the cry for food.
Not that it is more important, but it
is harder to obtain. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. Of two
men or women otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the better will be the
more healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness and uneasiness,
1t will build up and make strong a
weak body. 1t will cure headache.
1t will cure sorrow. Indeed, we
must make long list of nervous and
other maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure of sleeplessness requires a
clean, good bed, sufficient exercise to
promote WEAKNESS, pleasant occupa-
ton, good air, and not to warm a
room; a clear concious, and an avoid
ance of stimulsnts and narcotics.
For those who are overworked, hag-
gard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption OF
such habits as will secure sleep.

Tho Fngats Bird.

see a small blue point in the heaven.
Happy and serene region, which has
rested in peace above the hurricane! In
that blue point, and at an elevation of
10000 feet, royalty floats little bird
with enormous wings. A gull? No; its
wings are black. An eagle? No; the
bird is too small. 1t is the little ocean
eagle, first and chief of the winged race,
and the daring navigator who never furls
his sails, the lord of the tempest, the
scorner of all peril-the man-of-War or
frigate bird. We have reached the cul-
mlnating point of the series, commenced
by the wingless bird. Here we have
bird which is virtually nothing more
than wings; scarcely any body-barely
as large as that of the domestic cock
while his prodigious pinions are fifteen
feet in span. The great problem of
fight is solved and oVerpassed, for the
power of flight seems useless. Such a
bird, naturally sustained by such sup
port, need but allow himself to be borne
along. The storm bursts; he mounts to
lofty heights, where he finds tranquility.
The poetic metaphor, untrue when
applied to any other bird, is no exag-
geTation when applied to him; literally,
he sleeps upon the storm. When he
chooses to soar his way seriously, all
distance vanishes; he breakfasts at the
Senegal he dimes in America.
