SUMMING UP.
Address of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF
TUESDAYS VICTORY.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.--The following has
been issued by the Republican National Com
mittee:
New YORK, Nov. s.
The Republican National Committee pre-
sents to the country resume of the sweeping
victory won by our party Tuesday, Nov. I'd,
which has been so cheerfully accepted by all
thoughtful and patriotic men and by great
business and commercial interests of the ma
ton. Garfield aud Arthur have received 2i3
electoral woes and will be inaugurated Presi-
dent and Vice President March 4th 1881 The
actual result in New jersey California and
Nevada is so close that it cannot lie ascertain
ed until the official count is made but we have
reason to believe that at least one and per haps
two OF these states have given their electoral
lar majority for Garfield and Arthur
will not fall short of $4,000 in
the Northern States. The majority of
Gen. Hancock in the Northern States will
hardly reach 1900. If the Republicans in the
South had been permitted to vote as they
wished to and have had their votes counted
as they were cast at least six OF these states
would have recorded majorities ranging from
five to forty thousand for our ticket. The
majorites therefore claimed by our adversaries
in most of Southern States We regard un-
worthy of consideration We have carried
the legislature of every Northern State ex-
cept Nevada where straight out Democrat
will be elected to succeed Mr.. Sharon. After
will stand 81 Republicans, 81 Democrats an d
two Independents. Two of the Southern
States given to the Democrats in the above
estimates are yet 20 elect Senators and it is
not unlikely that we shall secure one of them.
In the lower House of Congress we have not
less than fifteen majority, and no officer OF the
present Congress can reduce or mperil this
majority except by revolutionary act
Garfield and Arthur have been elected by an
unparalleled popular majorities in that por-
tlon of the country where the right of every
citizen is recognized to vote as he pleased and
have his ballot honestly counted. This result
in an intelligent and free North is clear and
loud answer to the indecent manner in which
our adversaries have waged the whole of their
campaign. Republicans may be assured that
no after thought of two three mortified and
desperate leaders of the minority, writhing
under their party censure, will be allowed to
trhe with this mighty verdict, or permit the
organization of the government on the APP
pointed day, by the resolute men chosen to ad-
msnister it.

girls mind develops very rapidly, much
more rapidly than an average boys; and when
an intelligent girl shows any special ability i'll
one direction, she improves in that especial
direction SO quickly that one is deceived into
thinking she has genius for it; she herself
becomes fred with ambition, works hard-and
many girls can work in way that would
shame some boys-builds castles in the air Of
future fame and greatness; gives up other
interests and hopes for the one aim, which,
alas is SO often disappointed. Nineteel out
of every 20-might we not say 90 out
of every 100?-girls stop when you think
they are going to do something worth
doing, aud never get any further. They have
talent, which education has brought out. and
deceived them into mist aking for genius.
There is however, one very great advantage
in the present rage for classes oil all kinds, and
in the facilities for study in all directions; it
gives many girls an object in life, even if they
do not do any thing very great for the benefit
OF The nation. In our grandmothers' and great
grsndmothers' times girls did fancy work

better HOW III a quarter of the time by the mod

employment was to make cowslip and goose

WIND AND WAVES.
Heavy Gale on the Lakes-Great Dam
age on Water and Land.

A Heavy Gale on the Lakes-Great Dam
age on Water and Land:
TORONTO, Ont, Nov. IA severe gale
passed over Central and Western Ontario this
morning. Trees were uprooted, telegraph
lines Frustrated and considerable other damage
done. At Clifton the water in the river rose
fifteen feet, and some damage is reported.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. IA special from
Erie Pa, says the heaviest gale in twenty
years swept over that place to-day along the
banks. Disasters to the shipping are reported
from several Lake Ontario ports.
Schooner Juna, with 5000 bushels of wheat,
from Toledo to Buffalo, put into the harbor
and dropped her anchors, but drifted on SWIM
tens pier, causing great damage. The sea is
sweeping over her from stem to stern. Grew
safe. Schooner Porter, from Milwaukee, is
lying near the buoy at Erie flying signals of
distress.
OswEGo, Nov. IA terrific gale of unusual
violence has prevailed here since o'clock this
morning. Soon after noon the Canadian
schooner Woodduck, with barley from French
mans Bay to this port, was driven ashore be-
low the east pier. Crew saved.
UTICA, N. Y, Nov IA tornado struck the
southwestern part of this city at midnight
Saturday, during a heavy rain. St. Paui's
German Lutheran church was unroofed and
badly damaged. Other property was injured.

THE ELECTION.
CALIFORNIA STILL IN DOUBT,
With the Chances in Favor Of the
Democrats.

Latest reports from California make the re-
suit doubtful, with the chances in favor of
Hancock. The majority will probably be less
than 100 either way. A special to the New
York Times says the Legislature is Republican
which assures Republican successor to Sena
tor Booth Washington despatch to the
Boston Journal says the Legislature of Ten
nessee is Republican. If this be SO then the
Republicans will gain Senator, making the
U. S. Senate tie. The dispatch needs con-
firmatioa, however, as it disagrees with pre-
vious reports and indications.
