The Leopard A Lover Of Dogs.
Belgrayia

The leopard is dangerous antagon-
ist. but, az rule, il does not aspire to
larger victims than sheep and goats,
the smaller varieties of deer and an
telope, calves and, above all, dogs.
Now, the poets, as Broome and
Somervilie. seem 20 think the leopard
looks upon the dog az its natural
master and conqueror, whereas the
fact is than the leopard looks upon the
dog as its natural food The leopard's
taste for dogs is certainly one of the
most extraordinary phenomena in
natural history. We say that cats
like fish and that monkeys are fond
of nuts, but these are mere passing
whims, capnces of the moment, COM
pared to the constant passion of
leopards for dogs 1t Is very China
man for its delight in a puppy, for it

THE ELECTIONS.
New York, New Jersey and
Virginia Go Democratic.
Ben Butler Defeated by a
Large Majority in Massa-
chuSettS.
Returns from the Other November
State Elections.
NEW YORK,

The result in this state plainly in
dicates that the independent voter is
still abroad in the land. The whole
democratic ticket is probably elected
with, the exception of Maynard for
Secretary of State. Maynard is pro-
hibitionist and the liquor interest
combined with the republicans
against him. His opponent was Gen
eral Carr who is the present Secretary
of State of New York. Up to mid
night of election night the total vote
from one thousand and two polling
places of the state, outside New York
city gives Maynard 161, ,921 votes and
Carr 1S9, 16S votes for Secretary of
State. The same places gave Purcell,
152, 500; Carr, 1S5, 22S. At two o'clock
in the morning the total vote of New
York City..was found to be: Secreta-
ry of State, Maynard, dem, 81, 526,
Carr, rep, 1852; Con-
troller, Chapin, dem, 101, ,S27;
Davenport, rep, 59,615. The differ
ence between the vote of Chaplin and
Maynard shows to what extent the
latter was cut. John Reilly, dem,
candidate for county register re-
ceived 20, 147 votes; Jacob Hess, rep,
5,S99S; James O'Brien, ind. dem,
16, 424.
From the World: The democ-
ratio triumph in New York is of
no ordinary character, as it was
more than party success. 1t reach
es further and rises higher than
mere victory of democrats
over republicans. 1t means 1884; it
means a change at Washington; it
means that the people are tired of the
ruling party; it means yindicatlon of
the people by self-government.
