The Trot,inq Mare PaYama

Tho Boston Herald of Tuesday last had the
following in reference TO the bay marc Parana.
one of the sensations of the season: A few days
ego IL was stated that o. a. Hickok had offered
sl2, 600 for the bay mare Parana, whose recent
performances have stamped her wonder. She
began trotring this season at Chicago, In July,
then started in five meetings in the grand cir
cult, and lost but one heat in all her circuit
races. She won at Mystic last week. and We'd
nesday, at Beacon park, cut her record down to
2:19L. This still leaves her in the 2:20 class.
Her races have all been won with eaae, and it ia
said she can now show mile in 2:17. She is
only six years old, was sired by Ooleman's
Nam brino Hambletonian, and the sire of her
dam was by Rysdyk's Hambletonian.. While
her race sc Beacon park was in progress, she
was bought by Mr.. W. z. Balch, of this city,
from O. F. Emery, of Cleveland. Ohio. for
$4,000. The Spirit Of the Times, speaking Of
Parana, says: .'Parana lacks little Of being q
first class trotter; perhaps she lacks nothing,
having not yet beeG freely extended. Her gait
and style are perfection, She wears no boots
nor weights, and there is little doubt of her
ability to trnt well down tothe teens" The
mare will continue on the trotsing track for
the present.

derly reared child Of fortune, unused
to adversely. 1t does not easily sue
cumb to misfortune and disaster. If
the Republicans think the presiden-
tial battle is already won, they are
sadly mistaken. The Democratic
disaster in Indiana may possibly
have the same effect on the party as
the Republican defeat in Maine did
on the Republican party-it may
arouse it to more determined action.
Viewing the result of the elections
in Ohio and Indiana from an indie
pendent standpoint, we conclude
that it has given the Republicans a
decided advantage in the November
fight. The moral effect will aid them
largely; but we are not quite ready
to concede that it has virtually de-
cided the fight, although we did
rather take that view of it before the
election. But other circumstances
have since arisen to modify our views
in that respect somewhat. We there
fore conclude that the November
battle will be tenaciously and stub
bornly contested. The Republicans
are not going to have a walk over.
They will have plenty of hard work
to do before they can sit down on
their laurels-if, indeed, they do not
fail to gather laurels at all. The
contest will go on. 1t is still a close
fight, although, as we before remark
ed, the advantage is now decidedly
with the Republicans.

affect Democratic majorities, seems
to have given it's old time majority
for the Democrats. The Wheeling

majority for the entire Democratic
ticket, and both branches of the leg

INDIANA AND OHIO,

The result of the elections in In
diana and Ohio is severe blow to
Democratic prospects. The result
in Indiana, especially, was entirely
unexpected, and was no doubt quite
as much of surprise to the Repub-
licans as to the Democrats. The
campaign was fought close and hard
on both sides, but the Democrats
had the advantage of several thous-
and majority to start with, and their
defeat is thus all the more severe.
We do not pretend to account for
the unexpected result-we say I'M
expected, because neither party had
anticipated it. One among the
prominent causes was perhaps the
tariff question. The Republicans,
during the last few weeks of the
campaign, dropped every other issue
and worked this for all there was in
it. They succeeded in alarming the
manufacturing and laboring inter
ests, and no doubt made thousands
of votes for their ticket.
There will, of course, be various
reasons assigned by the defeated
party for the disaster, and the "or-
gans" will make every possible
excuse for it. However, the fact
stands boldly out that the Republi-
cans have held their own in Ohio,
and wrested Indiana from the Dem
ocrats. There is no getting around
this fact. 1t confronts them no
matter which way they turn. The
serious question for them to consider
Is, what will be the effect on the
November election. The fact that
the Republicans have carried Indi-
anna in October does not make ii
sure that they will do it in Novem-
Der, but it does give them the want
age ground in the fight. In the
October skirmish they have won the
choice Of position for the grand bat
tie in November. The moral effect
of their victory will be worth thous-
ands of votes to them. 1t will have
the effect to stiffen up the weak
kneed and steady the faltering in
their ranks; it viii give them the ad
/ vantage of the floating vote which
is always apt to grayitate to the
seemin gly winning side.
An these advantages, and perhaps
others, the Republicans have gained
by their victory in Ohio and Indiana.
And yet they are not "out of the
woods" If the Republican leaders
suppose for a moment that the Dem
ocrats are going to ground their arm;
and surrender, because Of defeat il
Indiana, they will make a great mis-
take, and fail to fully appreciate the
pluck and tenacity Of their oppo-

THE SHERIFPALTY.

ness will be developed all around the
board.

TOaaS.

French Industry and sag+city
take the lead of the GRID in little
things If in nothing more. Toad
culture is 4 regular business there
with economic people, and the
demand for them is great and in
creasing. The useful little ami
mails are employed as insect de
stroyers, not only in the garden )
Of that country, but thousands of
them are packed down in baskets
Of wet moss and sent to other
countries TO be sekf to gardners.
The more observing borticulturiots
have long been aware Of their
value as insect de*troyers, and
have utilized them 10 q greater or
less extent. And it is not much
to the credit of American farmers
and gardeners that they have never
recognized the services of this
helpful and innocent little reptile.
Nature conducts her operations by
reciprocal means, aud If she gives US
the hurtful insects to eat up our
crops she also gives us the toads,
birds, etc., to eat up the insects.
The farmer should keep close
eye on nature. and seek to make
her manifold operations helpful,
instead of casting hinderances in
the way by destroying her agents.
Many things as loalhsome looking
as the toad are the farmers
friend.
