ly hurt.
ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.
London, November S.-The Telegraph says
that the Englishman can hardly contemplate
with equanimity the probability that the next
president of the United States will be demo-
crat, as it is doubtless other changes the demo-
Gratis are certain to make will reduce the
American tariff so that it will be OF advantage
to England, and also worthy OF the recollec-
ton of the democratic party, which was deep
y dyed in its untagonism with England: Still,
whether the elections resulted in republican
or democratic victory, Englishmen may heart
lily wish their kinSmen deliverance from ma
chine politics, which is SO fraught with menace
to the best interests of America.
ANOTHER HURRICANE-PERsoNAL.

THE INDIAN CONTINENTS WELCOMED.
The contingent troops from East India ar
rived at Portsmouth, from Egypt, to-day, and
presented a fine appearance. They were
loudly cheered by large concourse of spec

sight of the troops, who were evidently as
much pleased and entertained as the crowd.

Cairo, November 8.--Lord Duferin and
the khedive had a long interview to-day. The
guns of the citadel fired a salute in honor Of

Soudan has telegraphed the khedive denying
Khartoum in imminent danger. The battle
between the troops and the false prophet was
most desperate The former lost 10000

still more severely. The black troops were

THE RESULT.


Opinions of the Cause of Republican Defeat.
Washington, November 8.-Postmaster-
General Howe was sitting at his desk with his
eyes fixed upon some subject in the street,
when reporter entered, and made known the
object Of his visit. Mr.. Howe spoke slowly.
and evidently measured the meaning OF every
word he uttered. Said he, substantially:
Several causes combined to defeat the re-
publican party. The chief cause, no doubt,
was bitter factional fights in the party, which
were confined to no particular section, but eX-
tended all over the country. In no section
was the party united. Perhaps in New York
this feeling was manifested more openly than
anywhere else. There was no man in the
State who could say that Judge Folger was not
as good man and as able as Cleveland, and
yet he was defeated for the same reasons that
operated against the republicans all over the
country. As to the effect on the election in
the future of the republican party, | am
not now prepared to give an opinion. am
not, however, sanguine enough to claim as
blessings events that come as disguised as
these do. l would rather have my blessings
come somewhat differently clothed. do not
pretend to say that the republican party can
not recover from this wreck. The question
with me is as to whether we will find the
wreckers more merciful than the storm has
been. In conclusion, Mr.. Howe said he did
not regard the defeat as showing a lack OF
confidence or distrust Of the administration.
Assistant Secretary Jocelyn said he regard
ed the defeat as forerunner of certain VIC
tory in 1854. Its effects would be to unite the
party. Republicans would discover that I'M
less they pulled together there would not be
anything worth fighting for.
An elegant lambrequin was recently ex-
hibited. 1t attracted good deal of attention,
although its ornamentation was so simple.
The lambrequin was of dark crimson plush

thin brass, put on in diagonal lines; the rows
were about three inches apart. On the edge
was row of silk taSSels, and each Of these

cents, and then was fastened to the velvet with
the same cord.
The Fienna Allgemeine Zeitung points out
that the loss of the English at Telel- Kebir
was much more serious than was at first sup
posed. Not 200, but 400 men were lost,
making more than 3 per cent. on the 70, COO
present All this loss was compressed into
an hour. Some data of comparison are afforded
by the following figures (of course in round
numbers): The Germans lost at Gravelotte,
IN battle lasting seven hours, without count
ing the preliminary cannonade, about I6, 900
out of $4,000, or roughly about per cent.
Spread over seven hours, this gives just over
per cent. per hour. Except lie Bouree,
probably no battle of the Franco-German war,
even Vonvlle itself, was proportionately SO
bloody as Tel el-Kebir.

"The effect of Understanding in moder-
alton" DR.. Auste writes, ''on the majority
of persons skilled in the use of the pipe is a
marked increase Of stimulation, the pulse
being slightly increased in frequency and
notably in force, and the sense of fatigue in
the body or mind being greatly relieved. This
stimulation most assuredly is not followed by
depression. On the contrary, the smoker
seems lighter and more cheerful, and the pulse
maintains its tirmneSs, in many cases for an
hour or two, and even then yields to no NOR
bid depression. Where depression is pro-
duced, it is produced early, and is sure sign
that even the small dose is too much for the
smokers constitution, and that he had better
not smoke at al"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Lemonade which is intended for sick per-
should be strained. This is particularly nee
essary if there is any trouble with the stomach,
as the tough fibres of the lemon are hard to
digest.
When about to buttonhole the bottom of a
flannel skirt, whether for a child or woman,
double the flannel as if you were to hem it,
and haste it in place. This will give firm
ness anu body to it, and it will last at leas,
twice as long.
Ifyou want to give delicate and yet dis
tinct onion favor to the dressing for fowl,
boil the onion till tender, changing the water
twice; then chop it in very small bits, just as
they were raw. Roast goose and wild duck
gain to most palates by having the dressing
thus favored.

Pride iE his Profession.

The merchant, the lawyer, the
physician and the minister must
take pride in his profession, if he
would do good work in it. He
must not hold it in contempt ifhe
would succeed in it.
1t should be the same with the
farmer.
But | am sorry to say that he
does always seem to take pride in
his chosen line Of labor that he
would be warrantable in doing.
He is quite apt to undcrvaluc him
self, or his profession rather. He
has falleninto the habit ofthinking
that the farmer is quite inferior in
point of Importance to the NOR
chant OF the lawyer. They mako
their mark in the community,
while tho farmcr remains in com
parativc obscurity. He goes on in
he even tenor of his way, from
onc year to another, and it would
natter little to the world whether
le worked or remained idle. 1t
would be a matter OF comment,
md it would affect the interest ola
arge circle ifthc merchant or the
lawyer were to do nothing. So
the farmer argues that they are Of
moro Importance than he is.
He is wrong. Tic undertakes
himself. The trouble with him is
he has been content for others 10
think for him. They have thought,
and quito naturally they have put
their own profession in the front,
and the farmers has been left so
far in the rear that he has settled
down to the conviction that that is
where it belongs.
1t is high time that the farmer
began to think for himself. He is
abundantly able to do so. He
should get the idea out of head
that his profession is one of minor
Importance; for it is rot, and tho
more he thinks and acts for himself
the moro pride he will take in it.
He will sec that while it may not
be showy in its results as some
others are, it is really the founda-
tion-stone of national prosperity.
When he gets to thinking Of it in
that way he will begin to realize
what injustice he has done himself
IN thinking for so long that he was
really OF small Importance in the
world.
The idea Of the true Importance
of the profession is growing in the
minds offarmers to-day. They arc
beginning to think. They arc
making themselves literature of
heir own. They arc starting to
10 now what the merchant, and
he lawyer, the physician and the
minister have been doing all along.
They begin 10 realize that they
must educate themselves to a
higher standard they would keep
lp with the spirit ofprogress which
:haracterizcs the age; and they
IAN do that only in one way; by an
exchange ofideas with each other,
md a systematic, scientific think
ng out Of the problem which the
arm puts before them.
The idea of the insignifcance of
heir profession has been tho direct
'esult Of thought on their part.
They havo failed to perceive the
zeal dignity Of the position they
occupy, because they have not
.ried to bring out the elements of
strength and beauty which are in
it by combined efforts and wide
spread general culture. Tho more
they think, the more pride they
will take in their profession Chris

SHE FEARED INSANITY.

A young lady Of Chelsea, who had
been shopping in Boston, visited the
office of a prominent physician on Sat
urday, says the Boston Herald. She
was flush ed and excited, and said she
had very strange sensation which led
her to apprehend some serious brain
trouble-in short insanity. The pecu-
liar sensation she described has feel
ing running around ina circle on the
top of her head. The doctor took oft her
hat and examined her head, but found
nothing, and she remarked that the
sensation had left her. She put on her
hat and after sitting few moments
Jumped up with scream, saying that
it had come again. Another eXamina-
ton followed, first Of the head, then of
the hat, and i'll the hat a small but &C
tive mouse was discovered. If we can
only convey the impression to all ladies
who wear large hats to the theater that
they are liable to be infested by mice,
Wa shall have earned the thanks Of
thousands. This little story is true.
