THE New York Times Washington cor
topic, discusses the possible and probable
political complexion of the next House of
Representatives The conclusion reached
is that the Republicans will have majority
of twenty-one. The present House was
rated originally as having 147 Republicans,
1876 Democrats, nine Greenbackers, and two
Readjusters. The vote Of the two latter
parties is divided, so that on most party
questions there are 154 voting on the Re-
publican side to 139 on the Democratic.
Since the changes were made by virtue of
the contested seat decisions the Republic
cans have 15S votes and the Democrats 1876,
making the Republican majority on a full
vote %. The Times estimate of a Republic
can majority of tsenty-one in the next
House assumes that the Democrats will lose
the two Greenback votes from Maine, and
that the Republicans will gain two in New
York, one from Democratic District and
the additional Congressman-at-Large. In
Pennsylvania the Democrats, by this esti-
mate, are given the ongressman-at-Large
and one other gain, while in Ohio the Dem
ocrats gain only the additional member.
The increased membership further West is
added to the Republican strength, except in
the case of Wisconsin. The Republicans
are given gains in Mississippi, Alabama,
North Carolina and Kentucky; but in South
Carolina, Texas and Missouri the Demo-
Gratis gain eleven votes in all. The estimate
is made after a review of the political situa-
ton in each State, and is doubtless as valu-
able as any political forecast would be made
thus early in the day and based on little
else than pure speculation.

[Nye's Boomerang.l
Indian Names.

1t is difficult to state what part of the United
States is now the most desirable as refuge
from Indian names. Maine has always been
and is still the victim to the most dabolical
names that were ever concocted by tribe Of
nomads who had nothing under heaven to dc
all their lives but to sit around rainy days and
Sundays ana mix up cognomens for towns,
lakes and rivers. Oregon and Washington
territory are equally as bad off, only of course
the names are descended from another and
perhaps more demoniac language. The South
is the victim to the same frighiful list of smoke
tanner proper names, mixed perhaps with
French and Spanish. All over the Union, ex-
cept in Wyoming, perhaps, you run up against
a name every little while that makes the cold
chills run down your back.
Here, however, such very musical names as
Dirty Woman's Ranch, the Dry Cheyenne,
Slim Buttes, Hold Up Hollow, Crazy Wom-
ans Fork, Sinking Water and other classical
epithets break With weird cadence upon the
gratifed ear.
Wyoming may not be very beautiful coun-
try in some respects. Her palms and tropical
fruits are little behind-hand, owing to two
feet of snow in the foothills and three feet in
the mountains, but we are not the victims to
the delirium of Indian names for our towns.
If America is not big enough and old enough
to name her own towns, she had better quit
and forget that she is nation.

The Causes and Cure Of Old Age.


L. LANCER has recently been engaged in the
comparative analysis of human fat at different
ages He finds that infant fat is harder than
that of adults or old men, that there are oil
globules in our fat, but none in that OF babies;
the microscope shows one or two oil globules in
every fat cell of the adult, while very few have
fat crystals. The fat cells of the infant con-
tain no oil globnles, ahd nearly every cell con-
tains fat crystals "Infant fat forms homo
geneous, white, solid, tallow-like mass, and
melts at 1870" while adult fat stan ding in q
warm room separates into two layers; the light
er and larger IS a transparent yellow liquid
ter, the lower layer is granular crystalline
mass melting at 800. Infant rat contains 6775
per cent of olelc acid, adult fat $780, Infant
fat contains 28.97 per cent. of palmitic acid,
against .16 in the adult, and 1928 of stearic
acid against 2.04. These latter, the palmitic
and stearic acids, are the harder and less fusi-
BILE, while the oleic acid is the softer and more
fusible constituent of fats.
No attempt is made to explain the reason Of
these differences, or to suggest any means by
which We may feharden or repalmitize our fat,
and thus regain our infant chubbiness.
Old age is evidently due to changes of this
kind, not only of the fat, but also Of the other
materials of the body. The first step toward
potabile'' of the alchemist, is to determine the
nature of these changes, the next to ascertain
their causes, and then to remove them. If, as
we are so often told, there can be no effect
without cause, there must be causes for the
organic changes constituting decay and old
age. Remove these, and we live forever The
theory is beautifully sublime.

THE first American silk rearing exhibit
ton is now open in New York, with dis
play that attracts considerable attention.
There are trays of mulberry leaves dotted
over with silk worms at various stages of
growth, from black mite thirty-second
of an inch in length to the full-grown worm
of two inches, and branches upon which still
older worms are busy in winding themselves
up in coccons. There are also great jars of
cocoons and jacquard loom worked by a
weaver who made the famous dress for Mrs.
Garfield out of silk raised in II American
States The North American silk exchange
was Incorporated about month ago for the
purpose of opening market for American
silks and to encourage silkworm culture in
the United States.

A Shrewd Game.


A few days ago an elegantly dressed lady
called on one of the best known mad doctors
in Paris, and in a voice broken with sobs, ex-
claimed: doctor, you are my only hope now.
My poor son is monomaniac; he is quite
harmless; his idee fire is that he is cashier in
a bank, and to everybody he meets he presents
bill or account, and demands payment. He
has already got himself aad me into serious
difficulties, and don't know what to do"
And here the tears began to course each other
down the fair peaders cheeks. The doctor
did his best to cheer the unhappy mother,
asked her various questions, and finally gave
some hope of curing the boy. She dried her
tears, and said she would leave her son in his
hands. 81 will bring him to you tomorrow;
but oh! doctor, the separation will be cruel"
Next morning she appeared with the boy.
"Tell your MASTER" she said to the servant
who opened the door, chat the person he ex-
poets is here" and taking parcel from her
sons hands told him to wait few minutes.
She then retired by side entrance which the
doctor had shown her, and had advised her to
pass in order to avoid mournful and, perhaps,
exciting farewell with.ber son. Quarter of an
hour passed. the doctor entered the waiting
room, and the young man presented his ac-
count Quite right, my lad, Will settle 1t
with you directly" and he felt the young mans
pulse "Normal pulsed" says the man of SCI
ence "My account says the young man.
my master will be uneasy. Please give me
the money at once" But the doctor gazed
fxedly at him, and tried to feel his pulse
again "Let go'' exclaimed the monomaniac,
getting into passion. "Pay me at once and
don make fool of yourself" "Violent at
tack" says the doctor calmly, and he pulled
his bell-rope rather violently. "The shower
BATH" he explained to bis two attendants;
and in atwinkling the young man was stripped
and stream of ice-cold water poured over
him. He howled, he kicked, but uselessy.
When the doctor came to sea the effect of the
operation he was much surprised to find his
patient madden than ever; vowiDg vengeance
at one moment and the next imploring his
torturers to send to a jeweller in the Rue de la
Paix, and ask him to come and release him.
When the doctor heard the word "ieweller"
light broke upon him. He dispatched an at
tendant TO the Rue de la Paiz, and in few
minutes the jeweler appeared upon the scene.
He turned somewhat pale when matters were
explained to him, for he saw himself robbed of
5000 francs by most ingenious chevaliere
d'industrie. She had chosen jewelry to that
amount, but not having the money with her,
she had said, "Let your clerk come with me;
live in the Avenue d'Eylau, and my husband
will pay the account"

Read the Returns.

The election in this city passed off
quietly, the vote being rather light.
The success of the tickets are about
equally divided between the democrats
and republicans. The republicans
electing the Assemblyman, Register of
Deeds, Clerk of the Court, District
Attorney, State Senator and Congress
man, while the democrats elect the
Sheriff, Treasurer and Clerk, giving
Park majority in the county of about
900. The apathy among republicans
here was painfully evident while the
democrats strained every wire to make
votes Many candidates were sold out by
their pretending friends as an exchange
for some more important candidate
One Of the most severe fights ever
made in this county was the one for
assemblyman, Mr. Gardner being
victorious A desperate war was
waged for the Office of sheriff which
resulted in favor of P. McCamley.
For state senator Mr. Webb runs ahead
of his ticket in this county and will
be elected by large majority. The
unjust war waged against P N Chris
tensen resulted in his election by a
good vote. In Marshfeld Mr.. King
received one vote out of 40S polled
Mr.. Crotteau run we'll but was sold
out in number of precincts by the
regulars. The total vote OF the coun-
ty will he about 2400.
The returns from many other states
are overwhelmingly democratic. In
New York the Republicans voted
largely for Cleveland, the democratic
candidate, thereby fastening him on
the democratic party as their candi-
date for 1884 and rebuking their lead
ers for their disregard of the voice of
the people This will purity che par
ty and insure success Ill 1884.

can possibly get them to assist in this

How THE ANCIENTs SPENT THFIR
MONEY. People may say what they
please, but some facts of history are,
metaphcrically speaking, difficult to
swallow. For instance, We are told,
that Cleopatra drank glass Of wine,
in which was dissolved pearl worth
$40, 600; that Ptolcmus Philadelphus
Of Egypt had fortune of $500, 0O0,-
600; that Aesop, the poet, paid $780,
900 for single supper, and that
Heliogabalous reposed in bedstead of
solid gold. All this may be true but
it seems more probable to say, that
Swayne's Pills cure dropsy, bilious
headache, indigestion, for there is more
truth than poetry in it.
