official returns have been received at
the State House to-day, and but little
more is known with accuracy of the re-
suit OF Mondays election than was
known last night. The figures so far
received seem to indicate the election
of Plaisted by about 1000 majority.
In the Sepate the Republicans will
have majority OF a least ten members,
and possibly eleven, as it is thought
that Brown, one OF the Fusion candi
dates in Somerset, is defeated. The Re
publican majority in the House will be
from twenty to twenty-five. Twelve OF

Lord BrOugham's Odd Nose.

When was u young man, my avoca-
tions led me frequently to Lincoln 8

the Chancery Court, and have look
at Lord Brougham as he sat leaning
backward, with his eyes closed, listen
ing to the endless droning and drum
ming of the lawyers mouthing, or
rather mumbling, their interminable
pleas. AT first sight his lordship ap-
peared to be asleep, but closs inspec-
ton would show you that the muscles
at the tip of his nose were in state of
rapid and continual agitation. There
was no motion of the nostrils. not the
least, but an unceasing vibration of
the small muscles terminating the or
gan, reminding me strongly of cap
tive rabbit nosing at the wires of his
hutch. Having once remarked it, I
naturally looked for it at each oppor
tunity, and never missed seeing 1t save
when his lordehip was vislbly occupied
with the business before him, either
questioning counsel or witnesses or
addressing the court. OF course he
was not asleep as he lay back with
closed eyes; indeed, it was we'll known
that at such times he was wide awake,
and thoroughly mastered the business
in hand. Though his lordship's ac-
complishment, if it was one, is by no
means common, it is not so rare as
might be supposed, and 1 believe that
many persons possess and exercise it
without, so far as one can Judge from OBJ
servation alone, being conscious Of it..

Frank WilkesOn's Dog.

Frank Wilkeson came into town to-
day from his ranch with his dog Ru-
pert. I met him on the sidewalk, and
stopped to look at the setter and talk
with his owner. said to him :" Frank,
Rupert has seemingly every point of a
first-rate dog but conflicting accounts
of him come to us from the Gypsum.
It is said that he won't hunt at all. and
is worse than useless in the field."
Frank looked lovingly down on the
handsome dog, and smiled smile that
evidently covered amusing experiences.
Then, squaring himself for a plea for
character, he replied to me Rupert

And no one but myself can hunt with

point to whip him until he executes my
will. No one else is allowed to do this.

Skill in Education

It looks as if the time had come for
US to thoroughly overhaul our notions
of education, and devote ourselves to
the training of skillful workmen as
we'll as astute doctors and lawyers and
ministers and politicians. The bene-
factor of the future is not SO much the
man who makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before, as he
who can make one blade of grass as
good as two put together. If we keep
on developing our material resources,
there will come time when their pro-
duction will be Improbable, and our
only salvation will be to increase them
a thousand-fold in value by the appli-
cation Of skill. A bale of cotton is a
big, bulky affair; but worked up into
little spools of thread it is increased
in value thousand fold. France
might have exported by the ship-load
thousands of tons of clay and silex,
and lot have received back as much as
she gets from one delicate little Sevres
vase. America has already proved, by
her manufactures, that the products of
skill far outweigh in value the product
of mere force; and. moreover, that her
skill, when thoroughly trained, is to
be matched against the world. When
Russia wants telescope that shall ex
eel in power any yet made, she passes
the fine work of Munich and the shops
of Frauenhofer to come to Cambridge.

AN INDIAN JoKR-You would hard
ly expect to find wit among the Indians,
and yet they are just as human as the
rest of us, and in spite Of their stoicism
indulge in joke now and then which
has favor Of its own. During ban
quet which was given by the pale faces
to several red Rlen, one of the Indians
took spoonful of mustard, supposing
it to be some delicacy. The tears came
to his eyes. He could die without
finching, but spoonful of mustard
was something which even his heroic
soul could not endure, so he wept pro-
fusely, even as white men do some
times. The chief, who sat opposite,
asked him why he cried. He naturally
replied that he was thinking of his old
father, who died horrible death. A
few minutes after, the chief himself
fell upon the mustard pot, and swal-
lowed more thnn was necessary. The
tears came into his eyes, too. A thou
sand tomahawks were nothing, but the
pangent quality of the mustard made
him weep like child.
"And why do you cry % asked the
first victim, with savage delight in his
tones.
"Well," was the quick reply. am
crying because you we're not killed

New Way to Keep Scraps.

OF the keeping of scrap books there
Is no end. Nearly everybody keeps or
las kept scrap-book. Strange as it
may appear there are some merits about
scrap book keeping. 1t is not utterly
silly like keeping diary or an album
of the autographs of Congressman and
other worthless. A scrap-book contains
what some one else has written and
what some other party has thought
good enough to print and SO the
chances are much in favor of tine scrap
books of given number of men, be-
ing not quite SO dull as the diaries of
these same men. If, therefore, scrap
books must be kept, and they undoubt-
edly will be until the end of time and
newspapers, it is desirable to keep
them in the best possible way: AS a
general thing scrap-books are mass
of information aud amusement where
everything is so arranged that the
owner can never find what he wants,
when he wants it. A literary gentle
nan in this city suggests that the best
way to keep good scrap-book is not
to keep it. His plan is to have no
scrap-book, but on cutting out news
paper article on any particular subject,
he folds it up and places it in any book
he may happen to have on that par
ticular subject. For instance, a scrap
about the Crime might be put
into Kinglake's History of the Crimean
War; an article on hogs in the
History of Chicago or in a volume
of Eacon's essays, and thus man
could make scrapbook Of his whole
library. Detroit Press.

A PosToFF1CE INCIDENT. - About
sixty years ago an incident happened
in the New York postoffice which shows
that our grandfathers knew something
of dull times. One evening an old
merchant sent lad to the postoffice
with money to pay the postage on
letter. The office was closed, and the
lad put the letter and money into the
letter-box. The next morning the lad
went to the Office to receive the mer-
chants letters, and mentioned to the
clerk what he had done the previous
night.
"That was all right" said the clerk.
1--WE knew the money was to pay that
letters postage, for there was no other
letter in the box.
