An Address.
HEADQUARTERS

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE,
New YORK, November s.
The National Republican Committee
to-day issued the following address to
the country on the results OF the elec-
ton:
The Republican National Committee
presents to the country resume of the
sweeping victory won by our party on
Tuesday, November 2, which has been
so cheerfully accepted by all thought
ful and patriotic men, and by the great
business and commercial interests of the
Nation. Garfield and Arthur have re-
ceived 213 Electoral votes, and will be
inaugurated President and Vice-Presi-
dent March 4, 1881. The actual result
in New Jersey California and Nevada
is so close that it cannot be ascertained
until the official count is made, but we
have reason to believe that at least one,
if not two, of these States have given
their Electoral vote to our candidates.
The popular majority for Garfield and
Arthur will not fall short of 100000 in
the Northern States. If the Republi-
cans at the South had been permitted
to vote as they wished, and have their
votes counted as they were cast, at
least six of these States would have re.
corded maiorities ranging from ), 1000 to
40. 600 for our ticket. The maiorities,
therefore, claimed by our adversaries in
most of the Southern States we regard
unworthy of consideration.
We have carried the Legislature of
every Northern State, except Nevada,
where straightout Democrat will be
elected to the United States Senate to
succeed Mr.. Sharon after the 4th of
March next The United States Senate
will stand thirty-seven Republicans,
thirty seven Democrats, and two lnde-
pendents. Two Southern States given
to the Democrats in the above estimate
are vet to elect Senators, and it is not
unlikely that we shall secure one of
them.
In the lower house of Congress we
have not less than fifteen majority. No
officer of the present Congress can re-
duce or imperil this majority except by
revolutionary act.
Garfield and Arthur have been elected
by unparalleled popular majorities in
that portion of the country where the
| right of every citizen is recognized to
/ vote as he pleases and have his vote
/ honestly counted. This result in the
intelligent and free North is chaste
/ and loud answer to the indecent manner
I in which our adversaries have waged
the whole of their campaign.
! Republicans may be assured that no
! afterthought of two or three mortified
and desperate leaders of the minority,
writhing under their party's censure,
win be allowed to trile with this
mighty verdict, or prevent the organi-
| cation of the Government on the ap-
pointed day by the resolute men chosen
70 administer it.

How a Town was Born.

ONE day last summer two men who
were riding in the San Juan country,
below Animas City Colorado, drew reins
that they might water their horses in II
delightfully."- cool stream. The banks of
the stream were covered with grass and
flowers. Both men seemed to grasp the
same idea at the same moment--that
the spot would soon become the site
of prosperous town. They rode back
to Animas and bought what land along
the stream they were able, then pro-
ceeded on their journey up into the
mountains. When these men returned,
month ago, they found a settlement on
the banks of the stream where they had
halted The miners at Silverton and
Rico had sent men into the valley to put
up permanent buildings, and the work
men having selected the beautiful site
indicated had named the place Duran
go. 1t is now the Mecca of the San
Juan country. People are hocking
thither as the winter approaches, and
houses are going up as If by magic.
The sounds of the saw and hammer are
heard far into the night. Over $30,OOO
worth of lots have been sold within the
last month. Several brickyards are in
full blast, and they fail to supply the de-
mand. Saw mills are springing up on
the outskirts of the place. Four squares
are reserved in the center of Durango
as " the fine district" and the erection
of brick and stone houses only is per-
mitted. A railroad is approaching.
Alread the "Animas and Durango
Stage Line" figures In the spicy local
paper. The town is located in valley,
and is almost surrounded by mountains,
which make the rest of the San Juan
country so disagreeable in winter. A
half-dozen saloons are in full blast. The
Durango dance-hall is a thing of life.
The Durango church is thing OF the
future. -PhladeIphla Times.

An Appreciative Opinion Of the PresI.
dent.elect.

In the course of his sermon in Plym-
outh Church on the 14th on the text:
"A good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches, Mr.. Beecher said:
We cannot afford to PUT, for four yeRrs, a
man in the Presidential chair who is not such
a man as the Nation shall be proud of. By so
much as a gocd name is q tower of strength to
man and the glory of tho Nation over which
he prcsides by just so much is the iniquity OF
taking away a mans good namo unjust and

that would not be proud to put his estate into

They seem to think that noble citizen, stand

SOUND AT CORE.

The wind is fierce and loud aud high,
The angry tempest hurtles by,
With quivering keel and straming sail
The ship of state confronts the gale;
Rocks are ahead and peril near;
But still VIC face the storm, nor fear,
Saying this brave truth DER and DER;
The Nations heart is sound at core.
We knew II In those darker days
When all the kind. familiar ways
And all the tenderness of life
Seemed lost in bitterness and strife;
When, torn with shot and ridtlled Through
Lay In the dust our Red and Blue,
Dropped by the gallant hands that bore
- Tho Nations heart is sound at core"
We said IL when the war-oloud rent.
And out of licld and out of tent
The bronEed soldier, Blue and Gray,
Took each the peaceful hOm0ward way;
When this f0iled tIaitOrs sought 10 attain
by fraud what force had failcd tO gain
Heart-sick, We said owOrds once more:
+" The Nations heart is sound at core"
And always. as the worst seemed near,
And stout hearts failed for very fear,
Came great thrOb the country through
The Nations heart, sIill beating truel
All! mother-and and muthcr-brcast,
We still will trust you and will rest,
Although waves howl and tcmpests lower
Your heart, our heart, is sound at core.

SARAH DEMPSEY, aged III years, probably
the oldest woman In the State of New York,
was recently found dead in bed I'm her hut on
the Ulster Mountains, near Ellenville. She
had died from starvation and weakness, and
her house was found in a terrible condition
No food Of any kind was In tho house. The
appearance of the corpse indicated that the
old lady had, from lack of proper food, become
unable TO get out of her bed, and had lain
there until she had died of starvation. Mrs.
Dempsey had lived in this hut, miles from any
habitation, for many years. She had been
solitary in her habits ever since she was aban-
doned by young man with whom she eloped
from school when a girl. Beside the dead
woman's bed was found piece Of paper on
which was scrawlod i'm pencil:
my God, am dying by inches from hunger.
My money will be found"
And there Il ended.

GENERALLY speaking, the French
farmer is not jolly soul. Whether he
be a man of education or not, he settles
down into grub sort of life, faring fru-
gally on soup and the lhinnest of ordi-
nary red wine on cider. The stock of
his soup is bacon, and he eats butchers
meat only twice week, that is, ON Sum
day and market day. When he attends
market he makes a succulent dejeuner
and drinks good deal Of beer after
ward at the cafe. This is his 0nly cheer
full time.

A Dutch ss Pi."

England can boast one editor at least
 who might be trusted to run 8 country
 newspaper in the United States.
 In his youth Sir Richard Phillips
 edited and published paper at Leices-
 ter, England, called the Herald. One
 day an article appeared in 1t, headed
 Dutch Mail" and added to 1t was an
 announcement that it arrived too late
 for translation, and had so been set up
 and printed in the original. This won
 drous article drove half Englan crazy,
 and for years the best Dutch scholars squabbled and poured over 1t without being able to arrive at any idea of what it meant.
 This famous "Dutch mai" :" was in reality merely 8 column of ''pi." "Pi," it may be as well to explain, is b tumble of odd letters gathered up and set on end so as to save their faces from being scraped, to be distributed at the leisure Of the printers in their proper places. Some letters are upside down, often ten or twelve consonants or as many yowels come together, and the whole is peppered with punctuations, dashes and so on, till it might pass for poetry by lunatic Choctaw. The story Sir Richard tells of the particular "pl " he had 8 whole hand in Is this: "One evening, before one ot our pub lications, my men and a boy overturned two or three columns of the paper iu type. We had to get ready in some way | for the coaches, which, at four in the morning, required 400 or 500 papers. After every exertion we were short nearly a column, but there stood on the galleys tenn mptng column of pi.' It suddenly struck me that it might be thought Dutch. I made up the column, overcame the scruples ot the foreman,
 and so away the country edition went, | with it's phi ological puzzle, to worry
 the honest agricultural readers head.
 There was plenty of time to set up a column of plain English for the local edition."
 Sir Richard tells of one man whom he ! met in Nottingham, who for thirty -foar
 years preserved 8 copy of the Leicester | Herald, hoping that some day the letter would be explained.

Woman as m Inventor.

This subject has been recently dis cussed in an American paper, and 1t is mentioned. interalia, that women obtain from the United States government an average of about sixty patents yearly; seventy is the number for the year end ing July, 1880.

A FLOATING APIARY.

 ment.


 ment.
 The St. Louis Post DiSpGtch gives an Interesting account of 8 novel and in genious effort of Mir. w. O. Atwood, of Zanesville, Ind, to produce honey in great quantities and of superior quality. Alter years of experience with bees upon various flowers, Mir. Atwood dis covered that the honey made by bees fed on the blossoms of white willows that grow cn the banks of our Western rivers is equal, if not superior, to the California honey Last summer he brought 500 hives of bees West, which he divided into three lots, one of which he located near Vicksburg, another near the old tow of Madrid, and another on an island about forty miles below Keokuk.
 The yield of honey was very satis- factory, but the honey-making season was confined to the bloom of the will low. The principle of portable api- ary is not new one. It is, in fact, a very common occurrence for the bee culturist to carefully move his hives from two to five times in a single sum- mer, in order to keep in close con- tiguity to fresh clover fields. A great many hives are, however, injured by the iolting of the wagons; that is, the comb is broken down. Mir. Atwood thought over this outlook for long time, ard then decided that a steam boat was the safest means of transporting bees. He at once made arrangements for the pur- chase of small steamboat and two barges of the ordinary kind.
 On these barges he placed 400 model bee-hives, filled with busy workers, and about empty ores. The latter part of last April he left Vicksburg, and, after run of ten or twelve miles, tied up at a point where the willows were thick and in bloom. The bees worked among the willow heres for two days, and then Mir. Atwood steamed up the river a matter of twenty-five miles, and again released the bees ; this programme he followed up, intending to go as far north as St. Paul, by which time he ex- poets to have on his barges more honey than was ever before contained in one apiary.
 To an inquiry from the reporter as to whether he did not lose many bees, who would fly of, he replied that on the con trary he has been gaining bees steadily ever since his trip commenced. Every night when the bees come in they are accompanied by sn immense number Of wild bees, who.e acquaintance they have formed in the willows. It was in anticipation of this accession to his bee force that he provided the empty hives, all of which he expects to have filled before the clos0 of the season.
 He says: Bees. you know, although very inte Iigeut, gre liable to make mis- takes, and l tound out early in the trip that they sometimes get confused as to their particular hives. This caused a great deal Of trouble among them, until hit upon the expedient of giving each hive distinctive and peculiar appear. ance. This l did by means of bright paints in various combinations, and since that time have had no trouble every bee knows his hive. The painting of the hives gives my floating apiary 2

ChiIdren's Clothes.

The wide sailor collars for children are made of cluny, crochet and Irish point laces, torchon lace being voted too common and Breton lace too fragile. Wide cuffs of the same lace are worn with these collars, some of which have attained the dimensions of g small shoulder cape.
 Evening dresses for little girls are composed of Valenciennes lace and in sertion in combination with India mus lin. They comprise iaunty jacket, the skirt finished with wide fiounce, and a broad scarf drapery, all in the same materials. These dainty dresses are to be worn uot over eoiored silk or satin underdresses as heretofore, but over fiounced underdresses of fine muslin. They are as pretty and fairy like as they are perishable-
