Congress the Democrats will have a
majority of from sixty to seventy
Putting it at sixty-fve, their mum

and border States on the other.
One table which allows them
the majority named above, as

eight to the Northern, if We count
Maryland as a Southern State and

Democratic Congresses between 1875

A few years. ago an enormously
wealthy banker of the Hebrew per
suasion, was travelling from Munich
to Vienna by rail. In the same car
riage with himself was a gentleman
accompanied by friend. The strang
er was of pleasing manners, and the
proud banker at length conde-
scended to enter into conversation
with him, and gradually even las he
himself expressed it) took liking to
"the man." He even went SO far as
to say at last, you seem to be
good sort of fellow and a gentleman.
Look here, l am going to Vienna to
see my daughter, who is married
there, is awfully rich and keeps a
tiptop house. I will introduce you
to her" The stranger thanked him,
and mentioned that, by curious Co
incidence, he, too, was travelling to
Vienna to see his daughter. Your
daughter, indeedw said the Jew
banker with considerable arrogance;
land who may she be-" The En-
press of Austria" was the calm re
ply. The stranger was the Duke
Macmillan Of Bavaria, father of the
present Empress of Austria, and ex
Queen of Naples; the companion
was aide de-camp, 1t is needless to
say that the Hebrew millionaire ut
terly collapsed.

at repartee that it is a little danger

was riding out with his father the

"By no means" said the father

his fathar, who was very popular and
very much esteemed"
The boy said nothing, so his father
who thought he saw chance te

EVERY corpse that is taken to the
Paris Morgue is now quickly con
verted into a block almost as hard as
stone This result is obtained by
Cares chemical refrigerator, which
is capable of reducing the tempera-
ture of the conservatory, where each
body is laid out on something close
ly resembling camp bedstead in
stone, to Is degrees below zero cen.
tigrade.s At the back of this room is
row Of stove-like compartments, in
which the corpses are boxed up and
frozen hard before being exposed to
public view. AS an illustration Of
the intense cold thus artifcially Sc
cured, Paris journalist, in describ-
ing recent visit to the Morgue, says
that in opening one of the compart
ments the attendant took the precau-
ton to wear a glove, lest" his hand
should be burnt by contact with the
cold iron" The corpse which was
taken out of its receptacle had been
there nine hours. The doctor who
accompanied the visitor struck the
dead man on the breast with stick,
and the. sound swas just as if he had

'rHE Ldncet,in a suggestive article
on food, states that three .fourths by
weight of the human body is consti-
tuted by the flnid consumed and the
remaining fourth from solid food ma
terial. 1t urges the importance of
food selection as means of modify
ing character. 1t is impossible to
change Inherited nature, but the in
dividual organization may be much
modified. as is indicated by the effect
the. food of animals has on their
temper. A dog fed on raw beef is
apt to become savage, while a bread
and milk diet will tame him into gen
tleness. The same law, it contends,
holds good with regard to human
kind, and should be borne in mind
in the choice of food. u.'f

"A singular incident occurred at the
circus last Thursday night, which il
lustrates the invariable good fortune
that attaches to some people. One of
a pair of friends, who were spscta
tors, purchased a song look from a
vender of the poetic trash of the
ring, and gave in payment a ~ SO
gold piece, supposing it to be sill
yer dime. The vender pocketed the
money and went on, saying nothing
about the mistake. In few minutes
the other friend decided to invest a
dime in the same way. He called to
the nearest vender, who happened to
be the golden, individual aforesaid,
and handed him a quarter The chap
returned a book, together with the
~ 80 piece and a 5 cent nickel, This
caused friend No. 1 to look in his
clothes for his own gold, and, not
finding it, the obvious conclusion
was that the piece was his. Atlanta,

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-Thanksgiving
was a gala Gay in Hancock. The
principal business firms observed the
day by the closing of their respective
houses. A dinner was given by Mr..
and Mrs. Platt, of the Merchants,' at
which time some forty invited guests
regaled themselves upon the many
good things placed before them. In
the evening the ball given by the
Hancock Cornet Band, at the town
hall was largely attended. Music
furnished by the band, and the Glen
wood string band. Supper at the
Merchants.' Owing to the absence of
Rev. Ruddociz at Benson, services
were not held at the church. AT the
annual meeting of the Congregational
society it was voted to buy the prop
erty known as the Sherwood House
for parsonage. The society through
the kindness of Messrs. Beard of Min
neapolis and Wilcox of Boston were
enabled to secure this fine property at
very slight expense. The society
now have one of the finest church
properties in this part of Minnesota.
....Hancock, always booming, is
more than ever hopeful now, and ex-
poets great things from the Minneso-
Ia Land Improvement Co., recently
formed at Minneapolis, but whose
members are largely interested in
Hancock and its immediate vicinity.
IA number of business changes
have taken place, among them the
"m'rol # the Hancock Times, whose
,dit"r having 0utgrown our little
'uras has sought IL wider field of USE

of 6. B. Newton, late editor of the Oh
i've Branch. Tie papers will hereaf.
ter be published from the same office.
....The livery has passed out of the
hands of Mr.. Holen and is now run
hn Mr.. Paul Dudly. On Saturday
last Thos. McCarty was robbed while
under the influence of-sleep, of about
$40 by one Murray, who halls from
Manannah. Deputy Marshal Wilcox
started in pursuit and succeeded in
capturing the thief at Litchfield. "A
"prophet,' or Il son of one, explained
to those assembled in the Merchants
office, the reason why Morris was
turned into ashes. He, it seems, was
arrested in Morris and relieved of $40
surplus cash for having too much
whiskey aboard. He claimed that
Morris will be burned three times in
sixty years, and offered to wager any
amount. AS very few of us expected
to be in Hancock sixty years hence,
his wager was not accepted. He also
claimed to have been present at the
burning of Sodom and Gomorrah, and
stated that the ruins of Morris remin-
ded him vividly Of that long since
gone by time. He was finally laid
away to bed, until he recovered from
his exhaustion. -. Rev. T. G. Hudson,
OF Morris, preached at the Congrega-
tional church on Sunday evening.
The reverend gentleman is always
welcome. :. Thanksgiving was cele-
brated by several marriages, among
them that of Mr.. Daniels to Miss

The following from the Pioneer

The following from the Pioneer
Press is a timely warning:
The ravages of diphtheria in the
East ought to .admonish us of the
West that timely precautions should
be taken to anticipate it's advent and
spread in this direction. The type
prevailing in Philadelphia is especially
malignant, and results fatally in three
out of four clearly defined cases. The
scourge threatens to become epidemic
from lack of sanitary measures. and
from the negligence of physicians in
reporting the cases, and the failure of
the board of health to have them iso-
lated. Rigid sanitary rules should be
established and maintained i'll st.
Paul and Minneapolis and tributary
towns. In this way this dread disease
may be averted, and in all sporadic
cases rigid quarantine rules should be
enforced.

to as small an area as possible. Too
much care cannot I've exercised to guard
against the loathsome disease, espe.
