ONO AND VIRGINrA-The late election
in Ohio has had dcmoralizing effect on
the rcadjuster canvass in Virginia. Ac-
cording to some of the leading papers OF
the State there are thousands OF voters
who before the democratic victory i'll ONO
were known to sympathze with the Ma
hone movement, but who now declare
their intention OF voting for the regular
democratic ticket. Gen. Malone is en-
deavoring to rally his forces by assuring
them that the Ohio disaster is blessing
in disguise, and that it will have the eff
feet of harmonizing the party in that State
and in Pennsylvania. There was time
in the history of republicanism when a re-
pulse in Il great State like ONO would
have aroused il everywhere, but that day
has passed. "Boss" rule has become so
odious that the better elements in the re-
publican ranks are determined TO make an
end of it, even if to accomplish that object
it shall be necessary to place the democ-
racv in power. The "bosscs" must 90
and Mr.. Malone may as well make up his
mind to that fact.-New York Herald,

Flush Times i'm California.

A Californian of the epoch of 1886
writes as follows:
After a few days sojourn'ng in
Sacramento we concluded to locate
there, and | was to make all the ar
rangements for business. Not finding
any place to suit, | concluded to
build, and / wanted a lot to build on
Next to the corner Of L street,
think it was, Sam Brannon owned q
lot which suited me. The firm Of
Brannon 81 Osborn was on the cor
ner, and doing a large business. Iwent
in and asked the price of it.
"Three thousand dollars" SAID
Sam, in careless, off hand way, as i
he did not care a snap. whether you
took it or not.
thought that | would sleep over it
did so, and the next day concluded to
take it, when To- it had raised 81 ,00C
in value that night.
Nothing less than $1,000" says
Sam, and he meant it. At this / was
quite indignant but next day, all
things considered, concluded to give
the $4,000, and what do you think
the fellow wanted $4,000.
This was little too heavy on good
nature, even if they were flush times,
50 | concluded to give Sam and his
lot II wide berth. Flush times Ger
tainly they were flush times.
| soon found n lot to suit me on j
street, near Third, west side. Built
the stores at heavy expense; cost il
my memory serves me right, about
$4,000. Labor was from S16 to S25
a day; lumber from S4O0 to $500 a
thousand, forget which. We put a
brick chimney in, bricks costing,
know $70a thousand. Store complete,
| soon had the goods in and opened.
Up to this time it had all been
against my partner and myself 1t
now came our turn. soon saw it was
no trick to make $500 to 1,000a day
clear profit. / did make one day
81 900 before breakfast, and had my
breakfast 9. a. m. that. Flush times
You may well believe that they were
flush.
We ate watermelons at SO to 50 a
piece pears, apples and sweet potatoes
at from fifty cents to 81 each. You
have heard of the tack trade. ! re-
realized 1880 out of one that cost
me only $50. Screws We're almost as
profitable. Spring balances an ounce
each ($16), cost 81 n dozen.
/ will tell you a good story on
Prince prince, of Flushing, l.. H.
Prince of Darkness as the miners used
to call him, for the reason that he had
no mercy on prices when he had
the monopoly. Prince got the mo-
nopoly on tacks. They went up tc
So a paper. (can get three papers
for twenty-five cents anywhere, now,
To get the monopoly he paid me s36
dozen papers for quite a lot.
But to the spring balances. One
day Prince came to my store ano
wanted to know whether | had any
spring balances-he knew that / had
Yes | had some. How manyY said
Prince. l could not say (would not
say had a big lot), for | knew that
he wanted the monopoly.
"What will you sell all you have
for ?" Two hundred dollars a dozen,
/ answered. After a parley he agreed
to take all. | must be certain to put
every one in. To this | agreed
Prince now felt extremely happy
He had the "deadwood" on spring
balances, which at once went up tc
S25 each, Ny bill was over $4,000

was quite an excess of what Prince
expected / had, but he paid the bill
