around him several times, and finding that
closer quarters were necessary. small boat

Yho Republican Game IN Ne,c York

New York Special.
NEw YORK, Nov. S.-Grace, Kelly Democrat,
is elected mayor of New York by majority of
about 800. He has q majority of 1880, with
fifteen polling places yet unheard from official
". Truax. candidate for judge of the supreme
court, and all of the county ticket, is elected.
HancOcks ajority IN the city as allowed by
the Republican bureau of election is 10000.
There is nothing definite and final about the
State yet. The Democratic gain in Albany is
larger than expected, and the ratio of gains in
the interior is about as reported last
night. The general estimate this afternoon is
that Garfield has about 10000 majority, but
no figures are produced to substantiate this,
and the well-known prediction of the Repub-
heaus n oyer-estimating figures must be taken
into account. The World estimates Garfield's
TsiOrity in the State at about 5000, but re-
ducton of all the estimates is hourly going
on. The news from other States is astOnish-
ingiy meagre this afternoon. Nothing is pub
lished by either side in relation to California,
and but very little from New Jersey. It is,
however. certain that New Jersey has gone Dem.
ocratic, and you may say with confidence that
Garfeld's election depends upon the vote of
New York, which is not assured. In
this city returns are being withheld
IN the most scaudlous manner, especially from
the Eighth district, which is controlled by the
notorious John j. OBrien, the chief of the
bureau of election. From large proportion
of this district no returns have yet been pub
lished, nor have the poll clerks lists been sent
to tho office of the mayor, as required by law.
and has been done IL other portions of the
city. Ii the Republicans were sure of the
State they would not pursue this course in or
der to insure the pretended majority. The vote
as returned from police headquarters will not be
the honest vote of New York city. The differ
ence caused by the swindle will probably be the
cause OF Garfelds election, if he be declared
elected. W. 81. BARNUM.

Hr. English Talhsto Lqdy Reporter.

INDIANAPoLIs lad, Nov. 5.-In an interview
with lazy newspaper reporter Hon. VIM. b.
English talks freely about the late election and
It's results. He thinks Indiana held up re-
markably well considering the defeat in Octo-
Der and remarks that they bad not had a ma
iori;y IN the State since 1872, and then less
than 30 for Hendricks for governor. Per-
sonally he feels no ebagrin at the result.
While feeling the honor of the unanimous
nomination, yet the Vice Presidency, without
influence and patronage, had no charms for
him, and he feels rather glad that ho is left to
= life more congenial and profitable. The De-
nooracy with Democratic Senate and a
close house of representatives., and the Presi-
dency decided by small majority in single
State, Will not die. The real cause of the Re-
publican success was the prosperous times and
business satisfaction. The country Thought
it was wisest to let we'll enough alone and act
in harmony in New York with the October
election in Indiana. Some other things may
have had little weight but the main thing
was the good times and the disposition to let
we'll enough alone. In concluding, Mr.. En-
giish bewailed the corruption in party politics,
50 different from forty years ago, when he first
entered political life.

The Ne,c York Mayoralty Contest.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-Sups. Walling says the
thirty-fve ballot cases at police headquarters,
IN relation to which SO much mystry prevails,
were taken to headquarters in order to ascer-
tain the truth of rumor that a number of
votes had been cast for VIM. S. Dowd, as the
Republican candidate for mayor instead of
Wm. Dowd, and has been thrown out as defec-
tive votes. The law recognizes in such cases
the intent of the voter, and the .allot would
undoubtedly be counted for the Republican
candidate. 1t is reported an eDdeavor to count
the defective votes thrown out on the CANVASS
er's returns election day was made, but was
prevented by Chief O'Brien of the election
bureau.

Time Tables and Cars.

A contributor to the International
Reviet1 tells Low the larger railroad cor
porations make their time tables, and
keep account of their cars, as follows:
In n small room there is q board
some ten feet square, having on n side
the name Of every station on the road,
and at right angles with this list the
time at intervals of five minutes through
the day. By stick ing pins with threads
attached, the position of every train is
established, the time table Is made up;
and with this and the aid of the tele-
graph. the responsible head regulates
the trains Is on a chess-board. In
any large s~tation-yard one may see
freight-cars marked with the name ofal
most every road in the country, and the
traveller asks himself, how are they Q
got home again, and why Is notthe roll :
ing stock found scattered in the time of
needP This Is the business of every a
accountant. To this official every con-
ductor makes q daily return OF every
q composing his train. The account
ant has a table or tables, having on one
side the numbers Of every car whether
passenger or freight, belonging to the
road, and at right angles with. 1t the
days Of the month. By placing the
the cars and the date, a perfect picture
IL obtained of the distribution of the
rolling stock, which the traffic manager
can alter at pleasure. The names OF
foreign roads having connections are
added to the number of stations, and
indicate who 10 responsible for missing
cars. If the connecting road has the
same system, and has sent the a over
still another road, 1t transmits the de-
mand of the owner; and thus a Car may
be traced all round the United States.

mules.

Previous TO 1888 there were very few
mules In the United States, and those of
such an inferior order as to prejudice
farmers against them as unfit to compete
with horses in work upon the road or
farm. Consequently there were no jacks,
and no disposition to increase the stock.
But Washington became convinced that
the introduction of mules generally
among the Southern planters would
prove to them a great blessing, as they
are much less liable to be injured than
horses by careless servants. As o on as
it became known abroad that Washing
ton desired to stock his Mount Vernon
estate with mules, the king Of Spain sent
him two Jacks and two jennets from the
island of Malta. The first was of a gray
color, sixteen hands high, heavily made,
and of sluggish nature. He was named
the Royal Gift. The other was called
the Knight of Malta. He was about as
high, and 1.-THE and fiery even to ferocity.
The two sets of animals gave him the
most favorable opportunity of making
improvements by cross-breeding, the
result of which was the favorite jack
Compound, because he partook OF the
best points in both originals. The gen.
eral bred his blooded mares to these
jacks, even taking those from his own
stables for that purpose. and produced
such superb mules that the country was
agog to breed some of the sort, and they
soon became quite common. This was
the origin Of improved mules in the
United States. Though over eighty
years ago, there are now some ofthe third
and fourth generation of the Knight OF
Malta and Royal Gift to be found in
Virginia, and the great benefits arising
from their introduction to the country
are seen upon every cultivated acre in
the Southern States.

Growth Of the Hair.

There are three reasons why W0men's
hair is longer than mems: First, she
has no hair growth on her face, and 50
has q larger supply of h~air-forming
material for the scalp; second, the
diameter of her hair being larger, 1t Ii
less liable to break; third, being un-
usually less engaged in mental labor or
business worry, she has q more constant
and even supply Of blood to the scalp.
In nations where the hair of the men is
usually worn short, the fashion of long
hair in the male is regarded as a protest
against church and state, and against
general customs, taste, and thought; in
Austria it is made a political offense to
be SO attired.
The growth of the hair is the most
rapid In the young and m~iddle-aged,
and in those living an outdoor life. At
the age of eighty, If a man live SO long,
and If his hair and beard have been
close trimmed, lie has cut of six and a
half inches OF hair annually, or almost
thirty feet in all.
The hair is the least destructible part
of the body. The hair of the ancient
Thebans is, after a lapse OF 1000 years.
Pyramids and the Sphinx are crumbling,
but some Of the wigs of human hair, ex-
posed to the mold and moisture Of their
entombed apartments, are less decayed
than the monuments themselves.
There are three coloring pigments to
the hair-yellow, red and black, and all
the shades are produced by the mixture
Of these three colors. In pure gold vel
low hair there is only the yellow pig
ment; in red, the red mixed with vel
low; in dark, the black mixed with red
there is As much red pigment as in the
reddest hair, and had not the black been
most developed-perhaps by the action
Of the sun-the hair of all negroes would
be as fiery a red as the reddest hair oil
an Englishman.

A Woman,s Fight with q Snake,

Not long ago Mrs. Rachel Doderick,
wife Of Frederick Doderick, a wagon
maker of Cairo, Greene county, N.
Y, was passing through a field Of
blackberry bushes, when she heard a
queer noise. She stopped and listened,
and, as the noise ceased, she again went
upon her way. After proceeding q few
steps further she heard the noise again,
which she now recognized as the whis-
tie of a species of blacksnake known as
the racer. She Immediately started to
run, but before she had gone q dozen
steps the snake caught up with her, and
began to entwine his coils about her
body. She had a small tin pail in her
hand at the time, and while screaming
for help began to fight the snake with
the pail, but it seemed that every stroke
she made at the snakes head he would
dodge and draw his folds about her
body tighter. She continued to fight
and scream this way for nearly a quar-
ter of an hour before she got any re-
Spouse, but finally heard her husbands
answering call. Just then the snake
got q coil around her neck and throat
and she tainted. Her husband crashed
the snakes head with his boot heel and
then released his wife and carried her
to the house, where she revived. She
carried a blue mark about her throat
for some time where the snake had
choked her. The snake was eleven feet
in length and as large around as a mans
wrist.

A Strange Monster.

There is a lake three miles long and
200 yards wide seven miles southwest
Of Elkhorn station, a mile from the
Platte and four or five miles from Salt
creek. The water is brackish. In this
lake is reported a monster about thirty
feet long and eight feet in diameter. II
has a name like q horse and four feet
like a lizard, jaws like a crocodile, and
otherwise 1t resembles monster snake.
While its general habitat is In the
water, it frequently comes up on the
land and carries off and devours hogs,
sheep and calves from the adjacent
farms. 1t flies al q rapid rate from hui
man beings, and takes refuge in the
deep, saline waters of the lake. Hun
ters have been vainly trying for some
time to get a shot at it. The Indians,
from an Instructive superstitious dread,
never battle in the lake; and the white
settlers around its border have a horror
of going near 1t. The supposition Is.
the monster came mp, while young, from
the Mexican gulf by the Missouri, and
up the Platte, and was thence carried
into the lake by of the periodical
overfiows of that river. The academy
of science might investigate it.--Omaha

A Western Stage Driver.

He is the conductor, engineer, fireman
and brakeman ; he is the captain ofthe
ship. its complement of officers and
crew, and when he gathers up his lines,
unwinds his whip.lash from his stock,
and pulls out" he is the "boss" un-
til he reaches the end of his route. His
coach is not run by telegraph; he does
not wait at stations for orders to " 60
ahead;" he goes fast or slow as he
pleases. And the stage driver generally
knows his own Importance and makes
his passengers feel it. If you get on the
right side of him he will crowd the
journey full of interest and pleasure, hut
if he conceives q dislike or contempt for
you, the sooner you get a seat inside the
coach the better it will be for you A
majority of the western stage drivers
are middle-aged men (less than ffty),
iftime was only measured by the expert
ence they have had. 1t is rare to meet
one nowadays who did not drive on
the old overland route, and many OF
them served their apprenticeship in the
States east of the Missouri river before
that route was established. To hear a
lar whose hair has not yet begun to
turn gray tell Of his adventures on
the plains and in the mountains, be-
fore there was a Pacific railroad, is to
me almost like listening to a soldier of
the revolution describe the battle OF
Bunker Hill. One period seems little
more remote than the other to one who
never saw this country until he could
come here by rail. and to children
they will be equally remote periods of
the romantic past. Though not uni
formed there are certain peculiarities in
the way the stage drivers wear their
clothes that, though difficult to de-
scribe, are u~nmistakable. But there is
more in the manner than in the dress.
They sit upon the box rs though they
were a part of it; they hold the reins
in a certain way, and the butt end OF
the whip, when not in use. lies loosely
between the thumb and forefinger of the
right hand, while the top rests across
the lines.
These fellows are generally rough and
profane, but they are men of ~undoubted
nerve, brave as a lion and full of re-
sources when in danger or difficulty.
Toward ladies they are almost without
exception, polite aud gallant. To their
friends they are as True as steel, and
there is o sense of honor prevalent
among them that makes them remark
ably Trustworthy. 81 treat every man
white who treats me white, and don't
you forget it." said Frank" the
driver, to Silver Cliff, the other day in
speaking of his relations with bis en-
ployers. "They always done what's
right by me, and l can't kick" he
added. And this was said in a way
which showed that he meant it.-Sdi
