The Republicans have gained control in 26
towns and the Democrats in 6. OF the sixteen
towns now divided 13 were Democratic in 1876
and consequently may be classed as showing
Republican gains. 1t appears therefore thaa
the Republicans have gained in whole or part
in SO towns and the Democrats in 9, making a
net Republican gain in 81 towns This,
taken in connection with the greatly increase d
Republican vote in the larger towns, is result
which can only be regarded as showing a
marked change III political sentiment since
1876. There has never been any doubt that
the Republican vote 1876 was seriously lessened
by the disaffection resulting from business de-
preston Many men voted for change
then because they reasoned that any change
would be an improvement. There can be as
little doubt that the result this year has been
influenced by the renewed prosperity of the
country and the determination to avoid the
uncertainties which must result from any
change. The same men who favored q change
four years ago now reason that It is not wise 10
give certainty for an uncertainty. They
know that even if there were likely to be no
change in the general policy of the country in
relation to finances and home industries, the
election OF a Democratic administration must
inevitably be followed by a long season of par
alyzng uncertainty until the future policy is
definitely settled upon They know also that

SPRINGFIELD Republican, 1t is noticea-
BILE that the Republican scare as to Ohio
doesn't prevail in New York. New York is
really the pivotal State, and the Republicans
will throw great weight of influence there
after the October States are off the docket.
Apparently Conkling will then be ready to
spend at home the oratoric energy which he
is now layishing upon the untutored Hoos-
ier. The vote of New York is sensitive to
business considerations, and the business
voter is satisfied with Hayes's adminstra-
tion and disposed to let well enough alone.
The canal voteis placated by prosperous
year, and the independents who scratched
Cornell last year are all solid for Garfield.
The Republican gains in Connecticut will
probably be matched by similar gains in

A LOVERS QUARREL.

1 could not hear all that they must have said:
But as I sat beside the little stream
I watched them part with just one angry word,
She passed me quickly with down dropped head,
Red cheeks, eyes flashing with soornful gleam
A hasty step, as by deep passion stirred
She did not turn, nor look back where he stood,
But vanished quickly i'll the thick, green wood.
I watched him sigh, then noted how he gazed
At her retrcating form he whistled low
And softly to himself; in deepest thought
He whispered rs she vexed?"-then was amazed
That twas, in TRUTH she really meant to 90.
He looked once more, as if indeed he sought
10 bring her back, but on she went that day
Then he went, too-but twas the other way
They never met again. but oft See
Ihe girl: woman grown, come by this seat.
And gnze into the stream with tear-worn eyes?
And then wonder why such things should be!

Life would have altered, loves bright sunny skies
Shone DER her ever! 'Ts but things like this
That form our lives, and make our woe or bliss

Those persons who believe there is
only a bright side to the picture drawn
of life in Leadville, may profit by the
following extract from Denver letter
in the Utica Herald: 1 must confess
that [ have been much disappointed.
Denver is busy town, but outside this
place there is not much of Colorado.
You may believe as much as you please
about Utica people doing we'll here and
set the rest down as all talk-nothing
more. For instance: I met carpenter
here who is we'll known to you on Gene
see street. He was glad to see one
from Utica. He received $225 per day
in Utica; here he gets $3.50 per day. 1t
cost him 81 per week to live in Utica;
in Denver 81 so per week at the lowest.
and not as good as you can live in Utica
for $3. All whom I have heard of
from Utica as doing well, with one ex-
ception, would gladly be back in Utica
if it was not for pride or fear that they
could not get their old jobs. met a
young man driving dirt cart at 500

is ashamed to 60 home again. After
living here short time, young fellows
do not care to leave. as they frequently
get into loose habits. Gambling seem to
be the most profitable business, and leads
everything else from the newsboy up to
the merchant. There are five thous-
and people in Leadville 'tdead broke"
and they are dying by the dozens. The
road from here to Leadville: is lined
with prospectors, gamblers, bunko steer
ers, cut throats and thieves. Along the
way are dead horses, mules and bron-
chos, and the stencil is fearful. Nearly
all that have money start back staying
there day or two, but the ma

and gambling shops to see if they cannot
pick up enough to get away with. Poor

AN ARRAPAHOE HUNT.
swift Destruction or a Herd OF Buff
falO.
Letter in Baltimore American.

Letter in Baltimore American.
While T have been endeavoring, vain
ly, perhaps to convey to you some idea
Of the appearance Of the arraphoes, the
hunting party has made rapid progress.
and one of the young warriors, now far
in the lead waving his blanket in a Pc
culiar manner, makes known to the
hunters that the heard is near by, and
taking certain course will bring us to
windward of them. AS the distance be-
tween the hunters and the herd grows
less, the bucks divest themselves of all
their clothing save the breechclout, and
the superf1uous garments are handed to
their squaws for safe keeping, together
with the ponies they have been riding,
as they mount the fresh animals their
better-halves bring up to them. The
old buffalo bull acting as outmost guard
has heard sound he cannot explain;
he turns to warn the unsuspecting herd
of his not altogether groundless fears,
when the Indians like one man, give the
ponies their head, and sweep down up
on the grazing herd. But not grazing
now! for as if by magic the whole herd
becomes aware of it's danger, and. with
heads low and tails erect. they are
bounding over the level plain before
them at much faster rate than their
numbering bodies would lead one to sup
pose possible. The Indians dashing up
on the flanks of the moving column
pour in their deadly fire. Not waiting
to see the result, they urge their ponies
on, still firing (som etimes 80 near that
the barrel of the rifle rests on the buffa-
lo) as fast as they can load. till their
ponies pause from exhaustion and the
skeleton herd is beyond reach of their
weapons. While pursuers and pursued
have been thus actively engaged the
squaws have not been idle, for as the
hunt ceases you find them with their
pack animals already on the field where
the dead bufaloes lie. The bucks. re-
turning, ride down along the dead and
dying, and point out to their squaws
those they have slain, and when the
squaw has put her own individual mark
upon them, then she begins her part of
the hunt, which is skinning, cutting up
and packing. have seen five hundred
buffaloes killed in the above manner,
and [ never yet heard a dispute arise
owing to a buck having mistaken an an
imal he had killed. It would seem as
if the dead carcass had "a tongue in
every wound" that cried, Pass me not
by; you killed me" The squaws are nat
ural butchers. There is not miss-cut
made in removing the robe, nor is one
particle of the animal left to the kiotes
that can in any way be utilized by these
people. From the sinews along the
backbone (from which the bow-strings
are made) to the horny hoof from
which is dissolved kind of gluten for
the preparation of the robes), nothing
is wasted. No wonder it exasperates
these provident people to come upon
the carcasses Of hundreds of thousands
of buffalo, killed yearly by the white
hunters for their hides alone.

A Good Story of Jackson.

General Jackson was once visiting
a Kentucky town, where, among the
gentlemen presented to him, was Major
Lewis, who desired to impress Jackson
and his admirers with his own indepen-
dence. Taking a dignifed attitude, he
said, "Well, General, have all my life
been voting against you" Jackson
courteously bowed to him, and said,
good humoredly, "Well, Ma jor Lewis, /
have all my life been fighting the bat
ties of my country in order that you
might enjoy that privilege"
