TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

The result of Tuesdays. elections is
rather discouraging to the supporters of
General Hancock, but is by no means
decisive. The Republicans, carried Ohio
by an increased majority and gained
four or five Congressman. The Con-
gressional gain is due to the manner in
which the State was redistricted by the
Legislature last Winter. 1t has been
the custom in Ohio, for several years
past, for the party having control of
the Legislature to make doubtful dis
tricts secure by changing their bounda-
ries and to place several counties which
gave large maiorities for the opposite
party in one district. By this gerry
wandering, the Congressional delega-
tion of the party having control of the
Legislature has been increased from
four to six members.
In Indiana the Democrats nominated
franklin Larders for Governor. He
was very unpopular, and at one time a.
movement was inauguratea to take him
eff the ticket. 1t was conceded all
through the campaign that he was sew
eral thousand votes weaker in the State
than Hancock, whose chances of carry
iag it IL November are yet good.
Without Indiana, Garfield could scarce
~ hope to be, elected, and the whole
power Of the Administration was used
to carry TIE State. Ia this, they were
materially aided by the Greenbackers,
who hold the balance Of power, and
may turn tha scales in November.
Hancock's election, which would
have been assured had Indiana given a
decisive Democratic majority, IS now
doubtful, but his chances of success are
yet as good as Gafeld's> The Repub-.
licans have perhaps 5000 or. 5000 ma
jority over all in Ohio;. bat in Indiana,
though they defeat Landers by a
plurality, they are in a minority Of sew
sral thousand.

TELEGIAPHIC ITEMS.

(Rep.), for Secretary os State, a major
ity of 1857; McTlvaine (Rep.), for
Judge of the Supreme Court, 1919.
Three precincts to hear from gave a
Democratic majority of 81 last year.
Comparing the vote ON Judge of the
Supreme Court with that of Governor
last year, this would show Democratic
gain in the county of 1877. Butter
worth's. majority tRep.) in the First
District will be 1900, and Young's
rep. in the Second District. about the
same
The Republicans claim Ohio by over
5000 plurality, and the gains in Indi-
ana indicate that they have carried the
State by from 1000 to 1900 plurality.
The New York Tribune says: The
Indiana and Ohio elections have almost
settled the Presidential campaign, and
nothing butt objectionable negligence
can prevent the election of Garfield.
The result in. Ohio surprised the
Democrats, and exceeds ahe expecta-
lions of the.Republieans. Their state
ment of majority is not based ON the
head of the ticket, who will fall short
several thousand behind others, and
while they claim 0,0G0, their majority
win not exceed 10000. 1t is claimed
that in Cincinnati thousands Of negroes
from Kentucky voted as often as they
pleased. The Republicans vera also
aided by a force of Deputy Marshals.
In Indiana the Republicans claim a
majority of from 5000 to 5000 for
Porter and eight of the thirteen Con-
gressmen. Full returns are not yet in
from the back districts, which includes
some heavy Democratic counties, which
may change the result somewhat.
The parade of the Boys in Blue"
and other organizations in New York
City was brilliant and imposing spec
tacle, Special trains were ran from
points 100 miles out of town, and each
was crowded with persons coming to
view the spectacle. Political head
quarters, many hotels, business houses.
and residences were Illuminated, while
every window-stoop and vantage ground
from which could be had a view of the
parade was filed with people. General
Grant, leaning upon the arm of General
Chester a. Arthur, at 1855 stepped on
the reviewing stand, where representa-
tive Republicans had already gathered.
Both gentlemen We're enthusiastically
cheered At ii 80 the end Of the pro-
cession reached the reviewing point. 1t
is estimated that between 10000 and1
so, COO men were in line.
The Republicans gain on complete
returns of several counties i'll Indiana
as follows: Allan, $685.. Carroll, IA;
Morgan, l24; St. Joseph, 237; Cass,
268; Fayette, 2l5; Noble, 2l3; Marion,

gresham and both parties claim the
Legislature.
Complete returns frons the Connect.
cut election show that the Republicans
carry 70 out of the l67 towns. loss
OF "A towns compard with 1879. No
doubts are entertained of the State going
for Hancock.

A MODEL MARRIAGE LETTER.

The following letter was written twen-
ty years ago by lady of great literary
distinction, to her cousin on the eve OF
his marriage, and accompaniedby apair
of blue mixed stockings knit by herself
as present:
Dear Conain Herewith you will
receive a present OF pair of wooden
stockings, knit by my own hands, and
be assured, that my friendship for you
is as warm as the material, active as the
finger work, and generous as the dona-
tion. But consider this present as Pc
culiarly appropriate on the occasion of
your marriage. You will remark in the
first place that there are two individuals
united in pair, who are to walk side
by side, guarding against coldness, and
giving comfort as long as theylast. The
thread oftheir texture is mixed, and so
also is the thread of life. In these,
however, the white predominates, ex-
preston both love and confidence: that
thus it will be with the color OF your
existence. No black is used, for be.
lieve your lives will be wholly free from
black passions Of wrath and Jealousy
The darkest color here is blue, which is
excellent, where we do not make il too
blue: you will preceive the tops of these
stockings (by which l suppose courtship
to be represented) are scanned, and by
means Of seeming, are drawn into a
snarl but afterwards comes a time when
the whole is made plain and continues
so to the end and final toeing off. BY
this wish to take occasion to congrat-
ulatc you, that you are now through with
seeming and have come to plan reality.
Again, as the whole of these comely
stockings were not made at once, but by
the addition of one little stitch after
another, put in with skill and discretion
until the whole presents the fair equal
piece of work which you see; so life
does not consist of one great action, but
millions of little ones combined and
so may it be with you-no stitch drop
ped when duties are to be performed
on widening made when bad principles
are to be reproved, or economy is to he
presented-neither scanning nor narrow
ing, where truth and generosity are in
question thus every stitch made right,
and set in the right place-none either
too large or to small: or too tight or
too loose; thus may you always keepon
your smooth and even course, making
existence one fair and consistent price,
until together having passed the heel
you come to the toe of life, and here in
the final narrowing off and dropping the
stitch of this mathematical pair Of COM
panions, and comforting associates moth
ing appears but white, the token Of in
nocence, purity, peace and light. May
you take these stockings, (the final stitch
being dropped, and the work being CON-
pleted) go together from the place where
you were framed, to happier state Of
existence. A present from earth to
heaven; hoping that these stockings may
meet a cordial reception, remain in
the true blue friendship, seemly, yet
without seeming, Yours, from
TIP tn TOT

The Lord forgive US all. But shake
hands and be friends, Jim. I'll give
you some more cows. Eliza shall have

The back lot shall be drained, but the
pine trees must stand"
Jim gave him his hand, or, rather the
old man took it and pressed it warmly.
Jim seemed like one dazed The farm
not his ! The deed burned ! Could it be
possible
Before he was fully aware of the situa-
tion Eliza came in, the father told her
of the destruction of the deed and his
reasons for doing it. Already she knew
that something was amiss, so the blow
was not so crushing in its effects upon
her, and she walked up to Mr.. Lamson,
kissed him on the cheek and said: "Of
course, dear father, you will do as you
please in the NATTER" and left the room
to prepare breakfast. Then Jim repeat
ed her words parrot-like, and went to
the barn TO chew the cud of remorsc.
Mr.. Lamson lived five years longer,
then died with an apopletic shock, as
his daughter-in-law had predicted. But
he never had occasion to regret that he
burned the deed. His heart softened
more and more to his children, he only
holding the reins, allowing them to
manage the affairs Of the farm and dairy
as they pleased but when he pleased
he could be the master.

BEGINNING AGAIN.

When sometimes, our feet grow weary,
On tho rugged hills Of life
The path stretched long and drcary
With trial and labor rife
We pause on tho toilsomc journey,
Giancing backward in valley and glen,
And sigh with infinite longing
To return and begin again.
For behind Is the dew Of tho morning,
In all its freshness and light,
And before are doubts and shadows,
And the chill and gloom OF the night.
We remember the sunny places
We passed 30 carelessly then,
And ask, with passionate longing
To return and begin again.
All, vain, indeed, 10 the asking!
Life's duties press all Of Us on,
And who dare shrink from the labor.
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone?
And, Il may be, not far before rs
Wait fairer places than then;
Life's path may yet lead by stiil waters,
Though We may now begin again.
Forcvermore upward and onward
Be our paths on the hills Of life,
And soon with radiant dawning
Trans6gurc the toll and the strife;
And our Fathers hand will lead Us
Tenderly upward then;
In the JOY and peace Of a fairer world
He'll let us begin again.

SOME USES OF CHARcoAL.-Charcoal
laid fat while cold on burn causes the
burn to abaie Immediately; by leaving
il on for an hour the burn seems almost
healed when the wound is but superb
cial. Tainted meat surrounded with it
is swectened. Strewn over heaps Of de-
composed pelts or over dead animals
charcoal prevents any unpleasant odor.
Foul water is purified by it. 1t is a
great disinfectant, and sweetens offen-
sive air, If placed in shallow trays
around apartments. 1t $50 very porous
that it absorbs and condenses gases rap
idly. One cubic inch of fresh charcoal
will absorb nearly 100 inches of gaseous
ammonia. Charcoal forms an excel
lent poultice for malignant wounds and
sores. In cases of what is called proud
flesh il is invaluable. 1t gives no dis
agreeable odor, corrodes no metal, hurts
no texture, Injuries no color, is simple
and safe sweetner and disinfectant. A
teaspoonful of charcoal in half glass Of
water often relives sick-headache. Il
absorbs the gases and relieves the dis
tended stomach, pressing against the
nerves which extend from the stomach
to the head. II often relieves consti-
patton, pain or heartburn.

Suicide ut RIackfaaf

From the BIackfoot Register we
learn that young man named War

acquaintance with q soldier named
Pryor who had been stationed at Fort

the saloon business at Blackfoot. The
business was conducted by COIN,
Pryor's time of service not having ex-

wife, who was stopping at the hotel
at Blackfoot, becoming unweII, at her
request, was waited on BY Cohn. The
tongues Of the gossips were soon busy
accusing the man and Mrs. Pryor Of
criminal intimacy, and also accused
the man Of dishonesty in conducting
The business of the saloon. Finally
one evening Pryor came up from the
post with two pistols, and meeting
Cohn asked him to take one of them
and defend himself He refused
when Pryor got horsewhip and gave
him whipping. Cohn that evening
frequently protested the innocence of
Mrs. Pryor, saying if he could vindi-
cate her ne would willingly die. The
next day he went into Allenberg,s
store and stood talking with
Mr. Allenberg until the latter
was called TO wait on a custom

A Horrible story.

A horrible story is told by a Ores
den correspondent of little girl who
was detected in plucking flowers in a
cemetery in Halle, Germany. The
sexton of the churchyard seized upon
her, and for punishment shut her up
in a dead-t ouse, where there was two
or three bodies lying in open collins
awaiting burial The man vent
about his business and soon forgot the
occurrence; he went to his home and
bed, never remembering the little terri
tied prisoner pent up in the mortuary
with no company save the inmates of
the collins. On opening the dead-house
the following morning the little crea-
ture was found dead with her face all
lacerated where she had dug her nails
into her flesh in an agony of terror. 1t
was with difficulty the sexton was
saved by the police from the fury of
the populace.
