will and power to withstand and
succeed the physical prostration and

So.called friends that Major Waldron
has for the last eighteen months. We
heartily congratulate him on his re
covery, and wish him Gods speed.

Case continued, as daggers we're not

A negro man named Plummer used
some insulting language to Ike Gordon,
clerk, Sunday morning, and when
Gordon resented it made a dash for
him. Gordon defended himself with
his pocketknife, and inflicted several
severe cuts upon the darky's face and
neck. The wounds are not dangerous.
A trial will be had next Wednesday.

The full vote of New York State
is at length published. From 81
counties the returns are official, and
from the remaining three returns are
sufficiently reliable for practical pur.
poses. They show Cleveland's ma
iority to be l93,9Ol. The total vote
this year for the two principal candi
dates for Governor is 878,597. TC
this is to be added the Prohibition
vote, which is estimated at 5000
This brings the aggregate up to 9O6,,
5I. The total vote for President in
1880 was l,l05,226, of which Garfield
received 555,54 and Hancock 534,5l1
In 1881 the total vote was 843, ,lO7,
Of which the highest number received
by any Republican candidate was
Az ,464, cast for Davenport for Con
tToller. His Democratic opponent
received 4O3,38O. This year Judge
Folger's vote is 342,3O3, which is
2l3,24l less than Garfield received
and 75,l6l less than Davenport had
Notwithstanding the fact that the total
vote in 1881 was 262, ll9 less than that
of 1880 and 63,49O smaller than the
vote of the Republican, Democratic
and Prohibition candidates this year
The vote for Folger has fallen of
22O,5lS since he ran for Chief Judge
10 1880, In that year he had a major
ity with Garfield in forSy-six counties
This year he carries only eight and he
is even behind Carroll, the journalist
who ran for Congressman at large. II
New York county Folgers vote is 4O,,
GAG less than he had two years ago
Was ever an administration candidat,
so crushingly defeated. On the othel
hand Clevelands total vote is 5a5,
294, while Hancock's was 534,51l,

WHEN General Chalmers went to
Congress the last time he claimed his
seat by virtue of a slight mistake in
the printing of tickets cast for his
Republican competitor. He was
seated, but finally ousted by Repub.
lioan house. Chalmers took a strange
and unexpected course in running as
a sort Of Malone in Mississippi and
appealing to the Republicans for sup
port. Now it appears that on account
of the miSprinting of his name in
Tate county, the certificate of
election in Tate county Manning will
be counted in. There we're 1472 votes
cast for j. R. Chambless. This leaves
Manning 8749 votes the district and
Chalmers 8257. The Secretary of
State, Henry Myers, took legal advice
and decided that he vas only minis
terir officer and could not take cog.
nizance Of misprinted tickets. Chal-
mers will be the contestant if there
is a contest. And inasmuch
az he claimed his seat before and
held it as long as he could on a tech
nicality it will be rather awkward in
him to raise an issu, with Manning
who holds the certificate Of election
and will undoubtedly be sworn in
unless Mr.. Moore is there to object.

A Ely Hunt,

colony of flies who had apparently spent
their lives in obtaining from the window
panes some occult flavor which is not
perceptible to our eoarser palates.
made three captives, who were passed
beneath the muslin door of the jar with
u little slight of hand. The appearance
of these flies was my next subject Of OBJ
servation. They each had an individ-
uality which did not till then know
that flies possessed. Their department,
their figures. their very moral tone, had
q distinct stamp; yet there was har-
monious something which united char
acters so different. The first had fuf-
fy appearance, his body looked sodden,
and he behaved in fat and sensual
manner He took the grossest pleasure
in warming his ventral surface on the
side of the jar toward the sun. He
slipped the sweets of life to excess, and
had lost that activity a fly ought to
possess. Alas! his career rendered him
unfit to battle in the struggle for exis-
tence. He became the spiders first
meal.
The second fly had but one wing. He
was lean and i'll nurtured. yet he had
withal q chirpy and pleasing manner.
lie had neither the pompous bearing Of
opulence nor the boisterous ways of rude
health. He was sweet-tempered and
amiabie iiy and among the local mus
e:e undoubtedly occupied the same po-
sition that Tiny Tim did in his family.
| should have let him go, only that 1
feared that if did so should also re-
iease the third fly, whom my soul
loa'hed. Now, letme tell you why that
fly WAS Objectionable. He was the only
fly left on tie window-panes, and he
walked over them with the arrogance of
landlord. l sought to catch him, but
each attempt was more futile than the
last. He lodged, he flew away from
the window, lie calmly fioated about
the room, and followed him, Tapping
with my ocket-handkerchief till visi-
bly, pe.Spred. He was as cunning as
the fox Of Bally ybogue, who, you remem-
Der. used to look at the newspaper to
see where tic meets were to be- NV
temper ovcrcane me, and / swore I
would have that fly.
After hunt, which brought out all
my worst characteristics, caught him,
and deposited him in my vivarium, re-
joicing to myself that his death-agonies
would be some compensation for my
pains. As soon as he got into the jar,
Mr.. Fly discovered that his poor little
brother III adversity had o raw place
where his wing had been torn off, and
he would follow him from place to place
10 put i.is >Iic .,er on to the sore. 1t was
not the .iadiiness of the dogs of Laza-
rus which led him to lick the wound.
He saw that Tim did not like it, and,
rs ha, was y nasty, bullying cad. he per-
siste,ii iii his obnoxious performances. L

He WAS taken sick and thereafter could

years WAS runner of another hostelry.
Having forgotten his own name, he

taken sick at Matawanda and was re-

would convince any one that the po-
sition of head of department is no
sinecure and that he fairly earns all
the salary and honor that may be at
tached to the office. The secretary,
who is fine looking man of about
sixty years OF age, with hair and side
whiskers slightly Hinged with gray, sits
at his desk and receives his visitors IN a
digniied, business-like manner. His
hours are from ten to one, and, judging
from the number present IN one hour.
he must have about hundred visitors
each day. Some of them are senators,
some representatives some heads of
bureaus, and very many applicants for
Office. Each conner is bent upon
reaching his ear first, and many de-
vices are tried to get in ahead of 9th
ers. The office itself is quite spacious
and luxurious The floor Is covered
with a rich Wilton carpet of a black
ground, with sprays of crimson roses
over Il, and leaves and lines of shades
of green and olive There are six
large windows, heavily draped with
raw silk curtains of crimson and gold
At one end of the room is q handsome
pier glass, and a mirror also over the
mantel. The latter is of white and
marble, deliberately carved with stars
and a spread eagle, resting upon a
shield. a bright coal fire burns in the
low CRATE, lighting up the polished ten
der and giving an air of comfort to the
whole room. The sofas and chairs are
upholstered in crimson leather and the
walls are hung with portraits of ex-
President Grant, General Washington
and Abraham Lincoln.
