DRYING UP.

Il is matter Of common report and
common remark-not from outsiders, but
residents-that West Virginia towns Off
the lines OF railroad communication,
are drying up.
They are drying up like gourd.
Their boundaries are set, and their in
habitants are rafting around in them
like seed in the over ripe shell.
The world IS moving away from them.
Their isolation is like the weary, dreary,
aimless epnui oil a quarantine.
They have lost their substance.
They have lost their business.
They have lost their money.
They have lost their ambition.
They are used up.
Their occupation is gone; and their
young men are going-going to the rail-
road towns.
The old storeboXes on the street pave.
meutS are whitfield up and the loafers
are disconsolate. The centripetence OF
the worlds current outside, augments

= : : ..s for GUasting is proverbial
: S;n't swell the votes already cast,
8 shall live in hopes that his mon
y ri ticket is repudiated rather than the
honor and credit of his State.
The feature OF the election in Penn
svlvania was the hot fight made by
WOLFE an Independent Republican
candidate, against BAILEY who was put
in the field by the CAMgROSs, and in
which it was hoped the Independents
and the Democrats would elect the Dem.
ocratic candidate, NOBLE. Ii they have
not done it, they have, at least scared
them very badly.
The most general interest in the New
York election centered in the four Con-
gressmen, by which the slim Republican
majority in the lower House was likely
to be still further reduced in the cleo
ton OF Democrats to till those vacancies.
The Democrats succeed in eleeting
successor TO FERNANDO WooD, deceased,
and also captured the Republican diE-
trict lately represented by morton.
AsroR, Republican, who ran an expen-
siye campaign IN that district, was de-
feated and Mr.. FLowSR, his Democratic
opponent, was elected.
The other two New York districts
were strongly Republican, the plurality
last wear being 1856 in the Twenty
second, and 3, sos in the Twenty.seventh,
and they have returned Republicans, as
| anticipated.
The Democratic gain in New York
congressman will not lose the Republic
cans their control OF the House, and
wCuld not had they elected to all the
vacancies, but it leaves the margin too
| cloae Tor desirable working majority.
As classified after the regular election
4 year ago, the House was made up q
III Republicans, 1876 Democrats, 9
! Crreeubackers and Independent. Two
| OF the Democrats are Virginia Readjust-
ers, whose votes are expected by the
| Republicans under the terms OF the
| alliance with MALONE. Six OF the
Greenbackers are Republican in their
autecedents, and the Independent, Rev.
J. HYATT SMITH OF Brooklyn, has an
nounced his purpose to vote with the
Republicans for Speaker.
But the Republican margin in the
! House, even with these capricious aide
camps. is not large enough TO furnish a
reliable working majority in a body of
| that kind, when mere partisanship will
always, with select few, at least, give
way to considerations of public policy.

THE ELECTIONS.

The result OF Tuesdays elections, as
whole, furnishes substantial ground for
qualification and congratulation.
Without making uncertain claims
upon what are yet indefinite results
we may say without boasting that the
Democratic party has bagged a GOOD
share Of the game that was really in dis
pute.
The Democrats went into the election
in most OF the States expecting nothing,
and with the odds SO greatly against
them that the party had nothing to
lose, and it has gained something.
A review OF the standing OF the con-
testing parties in the States which
elected officers, will show, that in six out
OF nine the Republicans were largely in
the majority. The following gives, IN
round numbers, the results in each oil
these States at the last general election:

Thousands Of girls in Switzerland,
Germany and Norway devote them
selves to the cultivation of their hair as
resolutely rs farmer does his crops.
Once year the merchant, very often an
old woman, arrives in the village and 4
brisk trade is carried on. The Swiss
girls make the most, IA nature has be-
slowed on them an abundant crop OF
the blonde color, which is hardest OF
all to obtain, and the climate is evidently
propitious to its growth. The price
obtained depends upon the length OF
the redundant tresses. Hair eight inches
long is worth twenty-five cents an
ounce. while that thirty-six inches in
length will bring the fortunate possessor

beauty and thickness even So an ounce

The Worst Blizzard of the Season-Rail-

 FREEPoRT, Wis, March 21.-Northern nli- nois and southern Wisconsin on Saturday and Sunday experienced the worst storm of the season, and nothing like it has ever before been seen here. The country roads are im- passable. Forces of men and engines are at work on the railroads, but the blockade is not yet lifted, not even the first station out from Freeport having yet been reached.
 WAUKEaAN, H., March 21.-The snow storm of Saturday and Sunday was the worst of the season, no trains getting through to Milwaukee for twenty -four hours. The streets are impossible. The churches were closed and no services were held yesterday To-day the trains going south from here are able to get through, but no trains arrived from Milwaukee. This is the first time this winter that there has been serious delay on this division

Brave Dutchman's Perflous Feat.
 CHICAGO, March 21.-Fred Bildenhouser, known as 'sDutch Fritz who yesterday af- ternoon made the hazardous attempt to reach the tug Green, imprisoned in the ice three miles of the shore reached the beleaguered tug about 9 p. m., having dragged his boat containing supplies of provisions over noun tains of ice and paddled through the spaces of water, frequently falling into slush and ice up to his waist. He found the tug all right, but firmly imbedded in the ice. Captain Napier and crew were very hungry, having had nothing to eat since Saturday morning. tsFritz" returned to the <shore about day break and intends to make another trip with provisions.
 Captain Napier and one of the crew of the O. B. Green came ashore this afternoon, walking over the ice with the aid of long poles They vent down 8 dozen times or more up to their necks in slush ice and would have been drowned had it not been for the
