The New York Herald has the following
about the effect of the Republican defeat
in Maine:
"The returns from Name will lntuse lite

which has heretofore been heavy and slug

more freely Tor election expenses, in the
persuasion that the money will not be
wasted. The party will entertain no doubt

perhaps, prosecute a vigorous campaign in
Ohio. The Republicans will not he quite

WASHINGTON LETTER,

THE MORAL OF THE MAINE ELECTION. HOW
1T Is FELT IN WASHINGTON. DIsMAYED
EMPLOYEES.
(From our Regular Correspondant)
Washington, D. G. Sept. goth, 1880.
The Maine election has heen much talk
ed about during the past three days Com
ing Immediately after the election in Yer
mont, its result has been most depressing
on the population of the Capital, to many
of whom it means ruin. OF course there
is strong endeavor to find bright side
to the picture, and Government clerks get
together and cheer one another with such
optimistic views as: "This will only nerve
the party to greater effort in October and
November" 1t came soon enough but not
to late to warn us of our danger" I'VE
will now work as we never worked before
ETC. etc. But the cannot shut out the ap-
palling fact that they have lost the first
contested state. A state that they hoped
to carry by from 5000 to $4,000 majority.
Nor can they close their eyes to the fact
that Hancock is stronger than his party in
Maine; that state confidently claimed by
their party, and conceded to them by tie
Democrats, will, in all human probability,
cast its vote in the electoral college for the
Democratic nominee.
They congratulate themselves that they
have saved the Legislature and their repre-
sentation in Congress. Hannibal Hamlin
will succeed himself, or be succeeded by
Republican in the Senate. But no prophet
is required to predict that James G. Blaine
will not succeed himself after the National
Administration has been for three years in
the hands Of the Democrats. With that
fre.brand eliminated from National poll
tics, the country may hope for a rest. In
retirement, or even in hopeless minority,
he will still rant and yell, but his voice will
lose its oracular twang.
When I remember what efforts the Re-
publicans made to carry Maine, | am the
more surprised at the result. Logan, the
loudest, if not the most eloquent, of the
Grant triumvirate, has been on almost ev-
cry stump in the pine-tre State; Conger
and How, of Michigan, were there; Bob
Ingersoll, who draws as big houses as
Beeeher or a circus, lent his assistance;
hosts Of other foreign and local orators.
made the air vocal from the coasts to the
Canadian border with their cries of warn
ing, of defiance, of rage. The Democrats
made but little effort to carry the State
Three weeks ago their orators were recalled,
and an order was issued to expend no more
money where it would do so little good.
Now the question naturally suggests itself,
if we can do so withnut effort, how much
better can we and ought we to do when the
issue Is to rescue the country from Radi-
calism, and to condemn nationally a Ma
tional fraud in party, and in one of its
chief abettors.

A Singular Story Of q Dwarf.


When Christina of Spain was in
Rome, about twenty years ago, dwarf
named Giorgia Lelli was presented to
her. He was full of wit and intelli-
gence, and pleased the Queen so much
that she attached him to her service.
Thanks to her liberality, the dwarf was
able to accumulate small fortune,
which he left when he died, recently, to
two sisters married and living in
Aquila. The heirs sent two persons to
Paris to receive the gold pieces and
bank bills which this liliputian relative
had left them, and these innocent coun-
trymen on their return to Rome were
fellow-travelers with three persons who
became very friendly with them. The
feigned travellers were going, they said,
to Alexandria, for business Of the great
est Importance, and were delighted to
have found such agreeable companions.
When the men of Aquila told them that
they carried the heritage of $4,000 in
a small Valise, one of them said they
also had large sum of money with
them, and proposed putting it all to-
gether. The cOuntrymen agreed to
this novel arrangement, and one of the
three travellers took charge of their
united treasure until arriving at Turin.
There the pretended friends left the
train, giving the precious valise into
the hands Of the Aquilinesi, and prom
ising sOon to return. But they never
did, and the deluded countrymen
found, on examining their valise, that
the treasure had been replaced by some
Jumps of lead. When they related
their adventure to the police in Rome,
it seemed so improbable that they
themselves were held in custody until
the truth of their story was proved,
and some trace of the real eulprits dis
covered.

Love at First Sight.

Last Wednesday a welI-to-do farmer
named John German, the proprietor of
broad and cultivated acres few miles
from ST. Cloud, visited this city to take
in the sights and transact some personal
business. On the day named he en-
countered an old acquaintance named
Garrh, who did the agreeable by ex-
tending the stranger his services while
in the city. In the course of cOnversa-
ton revival of "reminiscences took
place between the friends, during which
the subject of matrimony came to the
front, both men expressing regrets that
in the course of mutable concerns their
lives and usefulness we're still eclipsed
by the lines of single blessedness. AS
the conversation proceeded reference
was made to a sister of Garrh's, who
for several years past has been leading
an honorable but secluded life in the
House of the Good Shepherd under the
protecting care of the good sisters. Mr..
German expressed desire TO call on
the young lady, and, with this object
in view, both men started for the insti-
tuition. The young lady, Miss Maria
Garrh, was highly pleased with the
call, and Mr.. GOrman's admiration for
the young woman was unbounded. Be-
fore leaving the institution he took the
brother aside and expressed himself
completely smitten, at the same time
requesting the liberty to propose. Mr..
German explained that he was the pro-
prietor of a large farm under perfect
cultivation, with a good house, four
teen COWS and as many horses, and un-
limited poultry, everything in short but
the presence of loving wife and help
mate. He proposed and was accepted
instantly. 1t was explained that ur-
gent business required his presence at
home the next morning and that if con-
Venient, he should be pleased to have
the ceremony take place that very aft
ernoon. 1t was so agreed and the
young lady started down town for her
trosseau, meeting her intended on the
street, as was afterwards explained,
without recognition. About sundown
the parties repaired to the German
Catholic Church, where o modest cere-
mony took place, Immediately after
which the newly-wedded and happy
couple left this city for their home,
where, should regret be necessary, they
will repent at leisure. st. Paul Globe

man, Just over, who would require four
rooms, and finally agreed with her for
a suit at $35 q week. The lunch bell
rang and she asked him to stay to
lunch, which he accepted, saying that
he would first wash in his new room.
After visit from a pretty housemaid,
who was sent to show him the way to
the dining room, but whom he dis
missed, saying he was not ready, and
when everything was quiet again, he
proceeded to business.
Locking the outside door of his room
he rolled the bed away from another
door leading into the adjoining room.
The door was fastened with a hook
only, which was easily broken. Open
ing the door he found himself in anoth-
er bed room, but saw nothing but
sealskin sacque which he could car
ry away. Then going to the bureau
drawers and opening them he found
two morocco cases, from which he took
the diamonds, putting the jewels into
his pocket, went back into his bed room,
from which he emerged and made his
way down stairs, informing the butler
that he had decided not to stay to
lunch. Reaching his hotel, he at once
threw off his disguise and went out to
negotiate his plunder.
He offered them to man in Chat
ham street for $500, but was obliged to
take $3.50, about one-tenth their value.
But for the necessity of getting
rid of them he could have
done much better than this. Half Of
the money he gave to ga young lady
friend" who soon afterward deserted
him and ran away to Chicago; the
other half was lost at gambling
house. A few hours after the theft,
therefore, he had absolutely nothing
left to show for all his ingenuity, labor
and pains, but goes to State Prison for
a term of years instead.
He was formerly aLondon physician,
and man of pleasing address and
marked intelligence. But none OF
these served to command very large
dividends on the capital he invested in
crime. Detroit Free Press.

desired to marry, but the uncles would
not give their consent, and she would
lose her fortune by disregarding them.
A message arrived by telegraph from
London for the lover one day, saying
that he had fallen heir to great wealth.
The news soon reached the uncles, and
they did not learn until the wedding
had taken place, with their consent,
that the young folks had deceived them
with false report.
Queen Victoria has Just presented
$3.50 to Private George Dodd, of the
British army, in recognition of his gal
lantry in saving child from death un-
der the wheels of tram-car in Dub
lin. The Car was going down steep
incline, and could not be stopped. Dodd
sprang forward to snatch the child,
and would have paid for his bravery
with his life had not the pole struck
him and knocked him, with the little
one in his arms, clear of the rail.

Small Dividends on Crime.

The income of a thieving life is so
small and precarious compared with
the pains taken to secure it, that one
wonders thieves do not abandon the oc-
cupation in Encouragement. One of
them recently arrested in New York,
described in minute detail to a reporter
the whole process of his stealing $4,000
worth Of diamonds from "a Fifth avenue
boarding house, and the balance which
it left him. He was stopping at dis
reputable downtown hotel when he
saw the rooms advertised, and made
up his mind to go and see what stroke
of business he could accomplish there.
With a piece of thin wire he arched his
nose and widened his nostrils; he
bulged out his cheeks; deepened the
sockets of his eyes with burnt cork;
Redeemed his complexion with vermil-
lion; painted wrinkles on his forehead,
and added a full, tight-fitting beard
and a wig with a bald crown. When
his toilet was complete he looked like a
Wall street broker, OF an American
statesman. Putting on a handsome,
well-made suit of clothes, and buying a
pair Of kid gloves and a walking cane,
he hired a cab for " the round trip" at
three dollars, and drove to the house.
Being left alone in the parlor he sat
down and strummed the "Anvil
Chorus" on the piano, apologizing to
the landlady on entering for doing it.
He told her he was a wealthy English
