existed What was the meaning of
this
Lately, l was reading an article in
foreign magazine criticism on a series
of lectures delivered by German pro-
fessor on the subject of the "vital prin-
ciple," when came upon the following
passage:
"For this immortal principle does not
ascend in one diract line but takes its
course in concentric circles, revolving
round its great source in one great cir
Gle by means of series Of lesser circles.
And all research and discoveries of sci
ence and philosophy teach us that such
is the law Of all systems in nature, and
that in all great circles there are seven
degrees or lesser circles; and that enter
ing the seventh degree the circle COM
mences and repeats itself. And the
physical and spiritual being Of one who
has died two hundred years ago, may
reappear in descendant of the present
day. Hence it is that family traits and
resemblances are preserved; and hence
also can be explained those wonderful
resembIances or repetitions of ancestors
sometimes visible in their remote de-
scendants."

Home Life a Hundred Years .iyo

One hundred years ago not a
pound of coal or cubic foot of il
Illuminating gas had ever been
burned in the country. No iron
stoves we're used, and no contriv-
ance for economizing heat were
employed until DR.. Franklin III
vented the iron framed fireplace
which still bears his name. All
the cooking and warming in town
as well rs in the country, were done
by the aid OF 4 fire kindled on the
brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow
candles furnished the light for the
long winter nights, and sanded
floors supplied the place Of rugs and
carpets. The water used for house.
hold purposes was drawn from deep
wells by the crsaking sweep. No
form Of pump WAS used in this
country, SO far as We can learn, un-
til after the commencement Of the
present century. There were no
friction matches in those early
days, by the aid of which II fire
could be kindled, and if the fire
went out upon tho hearth over
night, and the timber was damp,so
that ths sparks would not catch, the
alternative remained Of wading
through the snow a mile or SO to
borrow a brand of neighbor. On
ly one room in any house was
warm, unless some momber Of the
family was ill; in all the rest the
temperature was at zero during
many nights in winter. Tho men
and women Of Il hundred years ago
undressed and went to their beds
in a tenn perature colder than that
Of our barns and ,wood-shcds, and
they never complained.

The Latest Election News.

NEW YoRK, November 2.--The outlook il
that Hancock will not carry single North
ern State. New York will give Garfield not
less than 10000, and possibly $4,000.
Maine has fallen into regular line, and New
England increases her Republican majorities
everywhere There is still doubt of New Jersey
localities showing Democratic gains and
losses in most erratio manner. A table of
results in Congressional districts shows un i.
doubted Republican gains, but to what OK.
tent cannot be estimated further thao TO say
that the House will be Republican in all
probability. 1t was expected that many
Congressional gains would be made in tho
South and much money was sent thero to
influence the result. The result excites little
surprise here, as it has been known for seve.
raj weeks that the Democrats had not even a
fighting chance The city is ablaze with
Republican publications.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 2--Great surprise
is manifested here to night as the returns of the
election ere received in this city and State. Tho
Democracy had hoped for success against the
intimidation Of working men and innumerable
repeators who were distributed throughout the
States. The bu1ldosing Of the honest toilers
was moro successful, however, and capitalists
had the pleasure Of seeing their employees
voted like cattle, despite their political oonyc-
ions. The vote Of the State will not vary 1000

A Scheme Of the Future.

Nav YoRk, October 25,--I spent Sunday
evening with Dorsey, and friends. and pick
ed up considerable information about Re.
publican. expectations and prejudices. The
principal thing the Republicans are looking
at beyond the election is tho statutes of three
or four States n the Uuion, which they claim
shall hold no more elections for chief magis-
trate when they do not let their freedmen
vote. or will not count their ballots. South
Carolina. Louisiana, Alabama and Florida
are the four States Immediately in view.

Wade Hampton has worked himself into
being tho most obnoxious man in the country
to tho Rennblicans. They do not dislike
Bob Toombs. looking npon him as good
natored, eccentric, somi>yankee buffoon. lie
talks loud and curses much in order to make
people forget how keen he is bargaining
with them. Hampton is considered to DO tho
link that tho luto General Forrest was bo-
tween Mississippi and South Carolina-a
sort OF kn klux, fomontor and organizer.
They regard Forrest as having put his rough.
barbario energies into Tho ku klux, and
Hampton to DO more polished and subtle, but
of less principle. Ills vanity to make
public speeches and figure in The North has
reacted on the tolerably fuir impression he
gross is Republican. Not improbably thoy
may throw every one Of tho members from
States alleged to habituully cheat or intim.
date tho negro vote out OF their seats.
and order an investigation into the past four
or Rvo elections. Tho future Of the Bcpnb>
