The latest thing in dances here in Augusta
is called the 'raquet." and is neither waltz
nor polka, though the best parts OF bota are
preserved. The music strikes up with
crash, as though volcano had broken out
and the girl will cling as tightly as though
frightened, if she understands the dance, and
the young man will reassure her by gentle
pressure, if he understands the dance or
knows anything at all. At the second crash
they dodge, as though some one had thrown
blacksmith shop at them, and they start IN
At each crash of the cymbals and bass drum
they dodge and scoot to one side, then dart
back again, jam each other sideways ana

desperate and claw and tear and pull, and all

agony-and it is all over. 1t is short dance

CALIFORNIA.

New YoRK, November 4. At the republi-
can headquarters Senator Dorsey received a
despatch from the State committee of Cali
forna, that the State is sure for Garfield, by
from 500 to 200. There is no doubt about
Oregon.
CHICAGO, H., November 4. despatch
from San Francisco says: Additional re-
turns from the interior and more careful tab
ulations than those before received make a
complete change in favor of the republican
ticket in the State. Votes counted gives
Garfield 69,905, Hancock 67,021, Weaver
2,107. There is no possibility of votes yet to
be received changing the result, though the
majority probably will be slightly reduced.
Ii is now definitely settled the republicans
have majority on joint ballot of from four
to six, insuring the election of republican
senator. There will be two democrats and
two republicans in Congress.
1t is probable that Pacheco, rep, is re-
elected from the 4th California district.
