Al sneeztng Chorus.

The driver of a wagon laden with goods from spice house this morning accidentally dropped from his wagon in front of the City Hotel a package containing couple of pounds of cayenne paper. The high wind prevailing at the time took the red dust down the street mingled with clouds of street dust, and whirled it into the eyes, nostrils and mouths of pedestrians. There was for a time sneezing chorus such as Alice Oates never thought of in her burlesque opera. Any stranger coming into town and seeing the crowd coming up street would have thought that either they had all been to the funeral of some beloved friend, else were suffering from wild type of epizooty.- Hartford II1les

The year 1881 is very promising to astron- omers. There will be two eclpses of the sun and two of the moon during the year, and on November there will be a transit of Mercu- ry. The planet Saturn will also be so inn proved in position that fair study of the rings can be made. At the present time the planet presents a magnificent spectacle. The space between the rings is faintly visible with power of 25O diameters There will be comets enough to keep the astronomers busy Foye's comet will be in perihelion on the 22d of January, and in November Encke's will pass it's perihelion.

The President-Elect At Home.

cleveland Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
HE generally rises" says Major Swain,
from to half-past, and breakfasts en- tdn,ile,
at about s. The General takes great delight
in his family, and makes his table his family
altar. We usually discuss a book at the meals,
which all have read, or are familiar with, and
make its contents a source of entertainment as
well as of instruction. Some time ago we got
hold of little work called Three thousand
English Words Usually Mispronounced.' 1t
has been our constant companion at meal time
since. Some one takes it and spells word
Then each one takes turns in pronouncing it
until all have failed, or its proper sound has
been given. Then comments are made by
ing does this exercise become that many times
the meal hour flies by so quickly that we do
not seem to have been sitting five minutes
After breakfast the morning mails are opened,
the newspapers are hastily scanned for tele-
graphic news, and important matters receive
attention, the General retiring with his secre-
tary and shorthand amanuensis to his private
office, or 'snuggery,' for the purpose. After
that, if the morning trains from the East or
Cleveland bring visitors, the General receives
and entertains them. Dinner is the same as
breakfast with regard to instruction and amuse-
ment it making no difference whether the
visitors who partake OF it are high or low, SEN
ators OF soldiers, grand or simple. They can
participate IN the exercises IL they see mt; II
not, they can eat and listen.
The afternoon usually brings more visitors
and mails, and To both the General devotes as
much time as possible. Supper is very pleas

The Democrats and Judge Davis.

The Democrats and Judge Davis.
The Democratic ne wspapers have tempo
rarily left off shrieking fraud in order to
give their whole attention to Judge Davis of
the Supreme Court of New York. Judge
Davis has incurred their displeasure by re-
buking one of the lights of the Democratic
party for assisting in circulate the forged
Chinese letter. The Judge is therefore ac-
cused of partisan malice and prostituting
his position on the bench to serve the pur-
poses of the Republican party. The accusa-
ton contains just as little truth as the ma
jority of the accusations made by Demo-
cratic journals. 1t is made simply to throw
dust in the eyes of Democrats and prevent
their seeing what disreputable business
their leaders have been engaged 10.
Judge Davis has done nothing and said
nothing but it was his duty to say and do
He sat as magistrate, as he had right to
do, in the hearing on the Chinese letter.
He listened to all the testimony patiently,
carefully weighed it and made up his mind,
as every other man of common sense did,
that that letter was base forgery concocted
for the purpose of defeating Gen. Garfield.
His structures on the conduct of Abram S.
Hewitt consisted of little more than a re-
hearsal of the testimony, and might have
been made much more severe without ex-
ceeding the bounds of propriety. There
isn't single Democratic sheet which is now
barking at Judge Davis for his condemna-
ton of Mr.. Hewitt's conduct in this bust
ness but would have applauded him if Mr..
Hewitt had been bank cashier and had
paid out money on such clumsy forgery
as that Chinese letter. The attempt to
make a martyr of Mr.. Hewitt is absurd and
will fail. He probably thought the matter
would blow over after election day, and, if
the letter promised to bring votes to the
Democratic party it wasn't worth while to
be very particular to ascertain whether it
was genuine or not. Though he is generally
regarded as an honest man in his business
transactions and probably is, he has shown
himself capable of STOPPING very low in poll
tics, and he deserves all the reproof Judge
Davis administered to him.

Magnitude of Our Cigar Trade.

AS showing the immensity of the American
cigar trade, the New York correspondent of
the Washington Star cites the following As
a matter of interest, showing the size of the
business of manufacturing cigars in this coun-
try, let me give the condition of one factory in
this city, which is the largest in the world.
The American cigar sold up to the price of fif-
teen cents retail is better than the same priced
Cuban cigar, and is driving the latter out of
the market. The firm alluded to in this city
has less than sixty customers, and refuses to
take any more because they cannot supply the
demands of the customers they have They
employ 1900 people-men, women and children
in their factory, and are building another
place, equal in size, to accommodate 1900 more
aud then will not seek new customer.
The following is the statement of that facto-
ry for the month of October. Cigars delivered
during the month, 4 1886, $50; wages paid, S64,-
600; paid to the government for revenue
stamps, S38, 800; paid for duties OF foreign to-
bacco, 81, ,154 cigar boxes used during the
month S9,305.27; leaf tobacco worked up DUR
ing the month to produce these cigars, %
pounds to the 100 cigars, 12O,964 pounds
This goes to show the immensity of the cigar
manufacturing business in this country And
it is growing more rapidly than can readily be
imagined. Millions of American cigars are
now exported TO Europe The whole product
OF Cuban cigars exported to this country is but
a tr fe compared with the thousands of mil
lions made here.

SENATOR growers health is so precari-
GUS that it is doubtful if he ever returns to
the Senate. The present Legislature of Or
egon has a Republican majority on joint bal
lot. In case, therefore, of Senator Growers
death or resignation, a Republican would be
chosen his successor. Counting Malone,
Davis, Fair and Grover with the Democrats,
the parties will stand 80 Democrats to 81
Republicans. Growers absence will reduce
the Democrats to So, asd unless he is super
seded, the organization of the Senate will be
in the hands of the party General Malone
chooses to ally himself with Judge Davis
will probably be found voting usually with
the Democrats. If the Republicans can
muster thirty-eight votes, it will, with Vice
President Arthur's casting vote, give them
the Craftsmanship and majority in all the
Senate Committees and enable them to di-
rect the legislation in the Senate, aud in
general give them the full control of the
Senate.
