How to Succeed. Edited by Rev. Lyman
Abbott. d. d. New York: G. p Putnam's
Sons; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon
This sensible and useful little manual has a
good right to its place in Messrs. Putnam's
Handy Book Series of Things Worth Knowing.
1t Is made up of a number of essays upon the
way to success in various callings; and the gen.
tlemen from whom these papers have been
solicited are those who have given practical
proof OF their theories. 1t is true, as DR.. Abb
bott observes in his Introductory chapter, that
these various papers seem in measure to repeat
themselves. but it is for the reason that each
man who has made honorable success in affairs
gives his testimony that honesty, energy and
Christian principles are the elements of power
In business, art or general usefulness.

Cesette. Authorized translation from the
French of Emile Pourillon. By Charles Will
Liam Woolsey. New York: G. P. Putnam s
Sons; Portland: Loring, Short & HARMONY
An idyl of French peasant life, as realistic and
at the same time poetic, as sketch of Millet.
The story of Cesette the sheep-tender, with its
sorrows and happiness, and the accompanying
sketch of French landscape and peasantry, the
strange superstitions and frank passions of the
people form a novellette as striking as it is
charming. Mr.. Woolseys translation is both
careful and spirited.

Tho SC 900 Republicans who voted
FOR Click can accomplish no political
euds without the aid Of the $4,000 Re-
puLlicans who voted for St. John, and
vice versa. With regard to the attitude
OF the party on the temperance issue in
the future, the question is not free from
difficulty. The principle of prohibition,
sbstractly considered, is just as much
right to day as it was the morning OF the
election. But we cannot forget the fact
.thatin It's hour Of trial and danger,
when the prohibition, amendment was
virtually being voted on again in the
contest between st. John and Click,
that our Democratic and GreenSack
temperance brethren stood aloof, gave US
substantially no help, and allowed pro-
hibitiou to De slaughtered in the house

p@- Unless we greatly mistake the
signs OF the times, the members OF the
Legislature who sre controlled by the
railroads will, with substantial unanim-
ity, vote to resubmit the prohibitory
amendment = hoping thereby to avert
the attention Of the people from the
monopoly question. The prohibition
members will be very unwise if they do
not make stroug anti-monopoly record
for themselves. We presume the rail-

The large plurality for Attorney Gem
eral Johnston Is accounted for by the
fact that about 5000 Democratic votes
were cast for Sidney Hayden, who was
originally nominated for that position,
but who declined. The vacancy thus
created the Democratic State Central
Committee filled by the nomination of
II. " lies Moore, several weeks before
the election, but the Democrats in many
counties appear to have been unaware of
this change, as they voted for Mr..
Hayden.
IN the returns for State Auditor, as
published in The CHAMPION yesterday,
there was an error in the footing of the
vote tor the Greenback candidate, Gar
retson. The total should have been "a
COL, instead of 1866. as published.
The official returns show that Gov.
st. John received a plurality of the
votes cast in thirty six of the 81 coun
ties of the State, viz, Allen, Anderson,
Bourbon, Chautauqua, Clay, Cowley,
Decatur, Douglas, Elk, Franklin, Ora
ham, Greenwood, Harper, Hodgeman,
Jackson, Jewell, Kingman, Labctte,
Limo, Lyon, Mcpherson, Ness, Norton,

Trego, Wilson and Woodson,
In seven counties Gov. Robinson re-
eeieyd a larger vote than Mr.. Slick, Wig:
Franklin, GrahaH, Jewell, Norton,
Phillips Rocks and Smith.
Gov. ST. John received a clear ma
jOrity OF all the votes polled in only nine
counties of the State, viz: SO in Cow
| Icy, 26 in Decatur, 81 in Douglas. Is in
Hodgenan, Al in Kingman, i57 in
Lyon, 50 in Ness, I16 in PawDee, and
81 in Trego.
Mr.. GlicG received q majority of all
the votes pol!ed in 26 counties, viz At.
Gibson, Barton, Cofey, Davis, Dickin-
son, DoDiphan, Ellis, Ellsworth, Ford
Jefferson, Leavenworth, Lincoln, Mar.
shall, Miami, Montgomery, Morris, Ne
maha, Pottawatomie, Rush, Russell
Saline, Sedgwick, Shawnee, Stafford
Wabaunsee, and Wyaudotte.
Ja-. Smith, Republican candidate fol
| Secretary of State, has majority or q
plurality in all the counties of the State
except FIVE, viz: Atchisou, Barton
Fore, LeaVenworth and Nemaha
Z. 2. McCabe, Republican candidate
| for Auditor, has majority OF plurality
in every county i'll the State except thir
teen, viz: Atchison, Barbour, Barton
Ellis, Ford, Jefferson, Leavenworth, Mi
ami, Montgomery, Nemaha, Rice, Rus
sell and Sedgwick.
1t will be noticed thut the vote for the
three Greenback candidates for Dlstric
Congressman aggregated 30,766, O.
about Z 800 more than the.G CIR eenbacl
vote for any State officer. This is ac
counted for by the fact that severa
thousand Democrats in the First Distric
having no candidate of their own In Ch
field, voted for Moody, the GreeDbacl
nominee.
The vote of the First Congressional
District, for Congressman, is q ,765 les
than that cast in 1880, but this larg
falling off is accounted for by the fac
that many Democratic tickets wer
printed blank fer this office The vOt
of the Second District Is 6,063 less thai
that polled two years ago, and thar o
the Third District is 6,108 less

After having cleared the room | examined
her and found she had q very warm fever,

Get no other calculations about her sick
ness. than that she had been sick for
about a week with fever and got worse
that same afternoon. | ordered a warm bath
and n powder, containing calOmel, and
absolute rest. When l came back the

she had cot the idea that she would die,
if left the night over..in the room, and con-
seouently her husband had carried her into

claimed every responsibility for the case,
and left the house. The next day a mes
senoer came back to me begging me to
come and see her again as she had return
ed. lat first refuSedto go, but subsequently

her of course weaker than before, and with
nearly as warm fever. | succeeded one
day in breaking the fever, but the next
day she was again worse, and sunk more

which killed her. From the day | was
