HI 1T.

An old lady who has a peanut-stand in
Hanover Square recently received a letter
from her husband, who left New York for
a visit to his son in Elmira. Not being
able to read it, she asked the assistance Of
q book.keeper for q firm near by. He
thought to- joke her a little, and SO he
gravely read:
"Old Mrs. Mcintosh, this is to inform
you that after submitting to your abuse
for over forty years, I have decided to
make a change"
Goals me old Mrs. Mcintosh, does
he; says I have abused him for forty years,
eh ?" she queried as the reader made o
pause. N husband was ever better
treated, and no wife was more true; but 20
on. l sort o expected something Of the
kind, when I got the letter."
"For the last five years I have loved
another" continued the book-keeper: ives.
I have loved her with all the love a strong
man can bestow."
"The old villain r. she Kissed. Loved
another for five years, has hel Loved an
other, and there I've been rubbing his cold
feet with whisky, and buying the best fan

some such thing. Go on"
"My going Oh q visit was sill q blind"

at the depot to meet me, and we fed to-

ALLEGED REPUBLICAN, FRAUDS
In NEW YORK.

The Democratic National Committee
is alleging fraud in New York. We
have no idea that anything will come of
IL. The Democrats should have had
their eyes open before the election. 1t
is too late now to attempt to reverse the
result. We have been beaten ON the
face of the returns in New York,
and must put up with it. 1t was the re-
turns on their face that we contended for
in Louisiana four years ago. Because the
Republicans stole Louisiana at that time,
will not Justify us in an attempt to steal
New York now. Let us be consistent,
at least. The following manifesto, which
explains itself, has been issued by the
National Committee
WHEREAS, 1t appears that at the recent
election in this State a vote has been cast
in certain localities largely in excess OF the
legal vote as determined by the recent GEN.
sus taken under the direction of the Gen
eral Government therefore,
Resolved, That it be the duty of the sew
GIdl OOuub1 VI thic ohssO
they are hereby requested by he State
Committee, to examine such census re-
turns and make a comparison with the
votes recorded as having been polled in the
various districts Of their county, with q
view Of ascertaining the extent OF fraudu-
lent voting in this State, and forward the
immediate result Of such examination to
W. A. Fowler, Chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee of New York.
The ~unaccountable increase in the Repub-
lican vote in New York and Kings counties
and the plain evidence of fraud in such
vote demand immediate investigation on
the part OF the respective Democratic
organizations of the counties.
Resolved, That all citizens Of this State,
in each and every locality, who favor the
right Of the people to popular government,
and who believe that a fair vote and an
honest coun are essential to the perpetua-
ton Of our institutions, are requested to
aid by all means in their power the ascer-
tainment OF the result.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to every Democratic
organization in this State.

A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.

Hon. w. E. F. Deal, Chairman of che
Democratic State Central Committee,
gave his undivided attention for weeks
to his party in the canvass just closed.
He travelled and worked and spoke in
c~essantly. 1t is not putting it too strong
to say that Mr.. Deal is one of the truest
and most Jealous Democrats in the State.
The Virginia City Stage pays him the
following deserved compliment
The fact is that the sweeping victory
gained in this State for the Democracy is
due to the intelligent management Of the
canvass by Hon. W. Z. f. Deal. The De-
mocracy of the State recognize the fact
that Mr.. Deal has by his mastery man
agement made it possible for a party badly
defeated W years ago to do what it has
never been able to accomplish under any
other leader, gain a Senator, a Represent
alive and the three electoral votes Of the
State Of Nevada for the Democracy.

SARAH ~BARNHARDT.

We copy the following criticism Of the
great European actress, Sarah Bernhardt,
from the New York Herald Of a recent
date:
At least one important stage in the
visit of Sarah Barnhardt to this country,
is happily cnmpleted-the great artist is
landed and safely in the city. For a lady
of the artistic temperament, acutely sub
ject to the less agreeable impressions OF
an ocean voyage and not experienced in
the endurance of the greater "desagre-
ments" of travel, it may perhaps be safely
said that her only really dificnlt and
painful ordeal has been overcome when
she is fairly at her ease in a hotel on this
side of the Atlantic. The success of this
enterprise, in a financial sense, is already
assured, we believe, and of its success,
artistically, there can be no doubt. Bred
in the greatest school Of dramatic art in
the world, Miss Barnhardt has departed
from its principles only in the direction
of the indulgence of the personal force OF
a woman of genius, and with departures
OF that sort American audiences are like
ly to sympathize. The metropolitan pub
lie here will scarcely differ in judgment
from the cultivated audiences of London
and Paris OF the main points; but where
they do differ it will probably be in ad-
miration of those irrepressible impulses
which the artist was somewhat harshly
judged IN Europe. Certainly, the play
goers of this city are competent judges
of artistic merits before the footlights.
They have seen all the great actors and
actresses from all the countries that pro-
duce them. Rachel and Ristori played
here before audiences in which were
many persons who will be pleased at the
opportunity to compare with them the
latest ONE from beyond the sea. In no
city in Europe, certainly. has the play
goer an opportunity to enjoy more first
class scenic sensations than in this city,
where, from Fanny Eissler to Sarah her.
self, all the celebrities of Europe pass in
a grand procession. Some provincial no.
tions with respect to great artists we
have happily outgrown. We remem
Der that they are human, and expect
from them only that of which humanity
is capable. which was not always the
case. Once we were more enthusiastic,
perhaps, than we seem to be now; but
if there is less exhuberance in our de-
meanor toward the stars who shape their
orbits so TO take in our part of the heav-
ems, our calmsr judgments are perhaps
nearer to the level Of a true artistic ap-
probation.

The Republican managers had quite a
~plethoric sack in Eureka on election

for this wholesale corruption the Demo.

THE following good advice is from the
San Francisco Stock Report 1t may
take two or three days for the people to
forget all about the election but they
ought to forget about it as socn 40 possible
and remember how many rich mines and
ha~lf-developed or wholly developed min
ing districts there are in California, Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico. Let
them remember that the Comstock is not
the only place in which bonanzas may be
STRUCK. and that Con. Virginia and Cali
fornia were the widest of wild cats
once. Let them settle down to work
and make a better showing for the Coast
between 1880 and 1884 than they made
between 1876 and 1880.

New YORK, November 6.~-The stock
holders of the Edison Electric Light Com
pany have been assessed $50 per share, to
meet the expenses Of Edison's recent ex-
periments. The Trustees will meet No.
vember 30th to vote upon increasing the
capital stock 81, 300, by the issue of 300
more shares. The stock has risen to 81, 200
per share, on a report that Edison will
make a public exhibition with his invon-
ton early next month, preparatory to put
ting the light into practical use in this
city. Some months ago, during the ex-
element over Edison's invention, the
shares sold for 81, 600. The investors re-
gard it as a rather thick-lipped stock to
handle.

English said to a News reporter that In
diana had held up remarkably well. con-
sidering the October defeat. The Demo-
Gratis have not had a majority in the State
since 1872, and then Hendricks had less
than 1900. Personally, he feels no cha
grin, although he acknowledges that the
unsought honor of the nomination for the
Presidency had no charms for him, and
he is rather glad to be left to a more genial
and profitable life. In concluding, Mr..
English bewailed the corruption in party
politics, so different from forty years ago,

A Trying Time.

To the ordinary lad, entrance into
society is fiery ordeal. It is great
trial either for tender or ripper age,
for an overgrown boy to go to door,
knowing that there are dozen girls
inside, and knock or ring with an ab-
solute certainty that in few moments
all eyes will be upon him it is severe
test of courage to go before these girls
and make the tour of the room without
stepping on their toes, and to sit down
and dispose of his hands without put
ting them in his pockets is an achieve
ment which few boys can boast. But
even if he acquits himself tolerably we'll
during the evening, his trials are not
yet over. The time for breaking up
arrives. The girls don their moods and
put on their shawls, and look SO saucy
and mischievous, so unimpressible and
independent, as if they did not wish
anybody to go home with them. Then
comes the pinch, and the boy who has
the most pluck goes up to the prettiest
girl in the room, with his tongue cling
ing to the roof of his mouth, and, crook
ing out his elbow, stammers out the
words, Shall see you home?" She
touches her fingers on his arm, and
they walk home, feeling as awkward as
two goslings. Well life has it's trials.

Millions OF Pigeons.

The most celebrated pigeon -roost
probably in the country is in Scott
county, Ind, where, it is said, acres of
timber are covered nightly with wild
pigeons. For the past seventy-fve
years this noted locality has been
roosting- place for pigeons, and millions
of these birds congregate there nightly
during the seasons of their visits to
that section of the country. They fly
away of mornings to their feeding
places in the woods and fields of Indiana
and Kentucky, distant from the roost
in many instances from 100 to 300
miles, returning again at night, arrivals
often continuing up to midnight. The
timber on thousands of acres covered
by this roost is broken down badly,
large limbs being snapped off like reeds
by the accumulated weight of the birds
upon them. Throughout the entire
night there is heard the cracking and
crushing of limbs, tae hum and furry
and drumming of wings, the explosion
of firearms and the confusion and
bedlamic thrashing sounds caused by
people beating the birds from the trees
with long poles. Thousands of pigeons
are killed nightly, but all this slaughter
seems to make no diminution in the
vast focks that congregate at this
roost.
