In 1876 Hazelton's majority fell nearly 600
votes short of that of President Hayes, and
about 1000 short Of the county tickets. In
1878 Hazelton's majority was about $50 short
of the highest running candidate in Grant
county-over $50 less than the majority of
the sheriff in Lafayette county. Hence 1t
follows that at the several elections in his
own county he could have added nothing of
strength to any ticket, and II was the same
with him that fall in the other counties.
Again, IN 1878, his majority was only 1872 !

AN ACTORS MOTHER.
Tinesley's Magazine.

| remember a whimsical incident occurring
in a theater where the leading member OF
the company was celebrated for his mag
nificent physique. One night he was en-
acting Virginius, and his mother, who had
never been in theatei in all her life, hap
pened ON this occasion to be in the boxes.
Fresh from her native Yorkshire village, it
will be readily imagined that she was some
what bcwlldcred by the novelty of the scene.
When her son appeared she was amazed
at the grandeur of his presence
in fcshings, sandals, and toga. His aD-
peamnce caused great deal of enthusas-
tic applause When it had subsidized the
proud mother, unable to restrain herself,
and to the establishment of all around her,
said, I'm so glad you like him. He's my
SON." "Whereupon the mother immedi'
ately became the centre of attraction, and
one admirer exclaimed, Madame, you may
we'll be proud of your son for he looks
godlike as Roman "Ah," sighed the
poor old lady In reply, 81 didn't want him
to be a Roman. He would haze looked
splendid as policeman"

REAL estate in New York is gradually
recovering from the depression from which
it has suffered for several years. The rents
of stores on Broadway have advanced from
ten to twenty per cent. and the rents Of
dwelling houses, in nearly all parts of the
city, have increased about ten per cent. The
demand for real property is on the increase.
The boom which has taken place in almost
everything else, seems, at last, to have
reached real estate.

STRANGE USE FOR A GOLD CROSS

That gold crosses are aften hollow is well
enough known, but, perhaps, few persons
have discovered what French writer has
the use to which this vacant space is put
by English ladies. 1t is filed, he says,
with cordial, or sherry, or brandy, for sip
ping in public places, and thus the religious
symbol is made to administer to creatures
comfort. This custom can be observed
nightly at the opera, where charming
young English lady is in the habit of press
ing to her lips at the most pathetic passages
an enormous gold cross" If this story is
an invention, it is at least ingenious.
