land will conclude to pardon himself for writing

Credit has been deseryedly given to the Repub
can State Committee for effective work during tho
late campaign considering the indifference of many
voters, and the slender means at the disposal of the
committee for getting out the vote, they did re-
markably WELL The vote cast, judging from tho
returns thus far received, will reach about 100000
so that over 200 900 qualified voters failed to do
their duty. The aggregate will apparently be about
10000 more than at the last election for Secretary
of State in 1881 and $4,000 less than at the cleo
ton for Governor last year. 1t may be safely as
sumed that much more than half of the 200 700
stay-at-homes were Republicans, who took it for
granted that their party would be beaten In any
case and refused to take the trouble to do their
duty. Had these voters done their part the victory
would have been complete No one acquainted
with the circumstances will deem it improbable that
of the 200 900 stay-at-homes there were many as
10000 Republicans, against 90 900 Democrats, and
if so full vote would have given the Republicans
majority for all their candidates. Next year. with
strong hope of success the full vote will be polled
Of course. 1t was Tilden who defeated Butler

Tilden who struck BILLY" Malone and let down
the roof of the Madison State House.
Some newspapers like to do things by ndirection.
Here is The Utica Observer which, instead of buntly
stating that Mark Tapley has purchased con-
trolling interest in the concern, chooses to convey
the same information by remarking that the Demo-
Gratis made "an excellent showing" in Pennsyl-
van:a. [P. s. Does The Observer hold that Pharaoh
and his host made an excellent showing in the Red

The falling of the Capitol roof at Madison q
disgrace to the contractors and builders. Such an
incident could hardly be paralleled except upon a
public building, which is never expected to be as
honestly or as sOundly built as a private edfce.
Puncs recipe to prevent railroad accidents was to
tie a director the front of the locomotive.
good way to have public buildings decently con-
structed would be to keep the contractors locked
inside until it had been made sure whether the roof
would fall or not.

The surrender at Silver Creek, ArH., OF
seyenty-nine or more Chiricahua Apaches seems
to Justify General Crooks oft-declared belief
that sooner or later all of these Indians would
reach the reservation. They give reasonable
excuse for their delay in coming i'll and confirm
the news of Juh's death. 1t is to be noted,
however, that those members of the tribe who
have little Charles McCOmas i'll charge hold
back. Possibly they are waiting to see what
treatment their fellows will receive at San Carlos
and are keeping this captive white boy as a
hostage.
One of the significant features of the late can
vass was the great amount of work accom-
plished by the Republicans compared with the
small amount of money it cost to do 1t. The
campaign fund was about $4,000. Con-
trasted with this are the large sums expended
by the Democrats. Their candidate for Reg
lister in this city was assessed $4,000 and all
the employees under Democratic control i'll the
State aud city had to pay over 2l2 per cent of
their salaries. In view of the little good this
vast amount of money did them, it is not to be
wondered at that change has been made i'll
the Democratic war cry. The slogan now is,
"The Manning Machine must go.'
yesterday did its work so thoroughly that it is
doubtful if we ever shall learn the real cause of
the disaster OF the entire crew only two es-
capped immediate death. Possibly the wounded
engineer may recover sufficiently to talk; other
wise we shall never know what the condition Of
the boiler was just before the explosion. 1t was
inspected last February, but unfortunately that
does not prove anything. The tow was exceed
ingly heavy and the tide was against it. The
natural inference is that to force the tug to do
its work too great pressure of steam was put
on. The very men who take risks of this kind
are those who ought to know better.
We have had so many centennial celebrations
within the last few years that they are no longer
a very popular kind of amusement. Indeed the
publics stock of "show patriotism seems well
nigh exhausted by the drain upon it since 1876.
However, it is a pleasure to see that con-
siderable interest is at length being reused in
regard to the proper observance of Evacuation
Day, now so close at hand. If we observe the
day at all, it should be properly done. The
Mayor seems to realize this, and has issued a
proclamation advising everybody "to cele-

PRINCE ALBERT, OR CAROLINA.
The Melancholy End of "a Man Who MR.
ried n Noted Southern Belle.

Albert Wallace, who is more commonly
known in this country by the name of
:" Prince Albert" was in this city Friday to
hear tho speaking, and late in the afternoon
he left home in his wagon, having RS a
companion Mr.. james Tarleton. Mr.. Wal
lace was driving and he was under the ill.,
fuence of liquor. The wagon, which was
going at O furious rate, ran into deep rut
and the jolt throw the old maa out He
struck the ground on his head and the force
of the fall broke his neck.
"Prince Albert Wallace, as he was gen.
orally known, was noted character of
Mecklenburg county and was connected with
some of the most influential families of the
county. Prior to the war he was man OF
wealth, owning great number of slayesand
large amount of real estate. Unfortunate
" for himself he fell into the paths of in.
temperance and LET his fortune slip from hif
hands. He was married many years ago TO
a Mrs Cross, a daughter of Colonel S. Bird,
of Edgefield, s. c., and a relative of Gene
raj NJ. G. Butler, His wife, who survives
him, came from one of the most influential
families of South Carolina, and the mention
of her name will recall two very exciting in
eidents that occurred in the past history of
that State.
The first was duel between Tom Bird,
her brother, and General Louis 4. Wigfall,
n sutton for hor hand, in which Bird was
Killed ut the first fire This duel occurred
In Elgefeld at the Court House door. Tne
second incident was Il duel between Preston
S. Brooks and General Wigfall, in which
both principals were badly wounded. A
short time after this second duel she was
married to Mr.. Cross and after his death
she was married to Mr.. Wallace. Sho has
now in her possession the pair of dueling
pistols used by General Wigfall in his duols.
Mrs. Wallace, though about fifty-five years
old, still retains much of her former beauty.
Time has laid his hand gently upon her. and
even now she is handsome woman. CHAR

INDIANS IN ALASKA.

correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin found the natives of Alaska exceed
ingly curious to see and to know He thus
describes their method of investigating and
the rough ways by which the whites pro.
seeted themselves. He says, 1--WE exper-
enced no trouble from the natives, except
IN the early part of the winter they would
como and stand about our doors and win
dows and get in our way generally, SO that
hey became nuisance.
"When the frost gathered on our win
lows they kept peep-holes open by licking
The frost with their tongues. This we final
ly got rid of by making strong decoction
of cayenne pepper and painting the outside
Of the glass, so that licking was not at all
comfortable.
A few of the respectable ones were oc-
easionally let into the house. If any of
these did not behave themselves, we treated
them with very little ceremony, SO that they
soon became afraid Of us, and were very
civil.
Vat first some of them had the habit Of
opening the door and walking into the house
IS IL they were its owners, and after short
time we got tired of this and put a few Of
them out, and by that means they have i'm.
proved in their manners considerably.
There is very little fight in them, and
they never stick together or stand up for
each other. If you cuff one, the rest stand
around and look on and laugh and say it ia
"Nakoomk (good), and the fellow getting
chastised is " Aseeruk (bad)
They are not at oil handsome, but then
they are quite well for savages. The wo.
men when yonng are much better looking
than the men, bnt all are very dirty, and
never dream of washing any part of theh
bodies.
"The men wenr large pair of bone but
tons, like shirt-studs, in their under lips,
and it gives them anything but a pleasant
appearance. Tho women tattoo their chins,
which they consider a great mark of beauty,
but cannot say that | agree with them on
that point"

nooF-Top LIFE IN NEW YORK,

What do You think of the queer lives LED
by janitors' families? know ianitor who
has charge of a big building down Broadway
who has four little tots of children, and they
don't get down into the streets more than
once week or SO. Two of them we're born
Ia the seventh story of an immense iron
building, just under the roof. One of them
to my certain knowledge has never been
down in the street at all. That's O fact Il
will be down some day. 1t was born only
hast week. Where do you think the child
ren's playground is? 1t is the roof, and a
rare, good yard it is too, with flowers grow
ing ON it, and everything just like good,
big, paved yard. There is q high ledge
around the four sides, so there is no danger
OF the youngsters falling off. And there are
clothes-lines there, and tubs standing about,
and clothes-pins lying on the ground
everything so natural you might easily mag
Inc yourself in somebody's back yard.
Those children seldom see anything Of the
world down below aud their mother hardly
ever does, for she has her hands full taking

secluded life for you. with no danger Of
annoyance from prying neighbos. There
Is something attractive about it, too. Just
think of the janitor at dark shutting up the
whole place and barring the big iron door
with himself inside There he is, with his
family about him, and all the world security,
locked out 1t is as good as living in cas-
tie with the bridge drawn up and the moat
iull of water. But even when the outer
doors ARE locked the janitors are not always
shut in from the world There Is a block OF
buildings in one of the principal business
ceL.res of the city all about the same height.
Each building has its janitor, and each JAM.
tor has his family. When the outer doors
are shut and locked and no outsider can by
any possibility make his way in, the jani
tors families begin to visit. The roofs form
their avenues and boulevards, their Crane
promenade. There is something slight,
curious about that way of living, ism
there having your noighbor dropping
In through the roof instead of coming
through the door? 1t is something like The
way of living of the old cave-dwellers in the
Southwest.

A WoMAN's NERVE.
How Minnesota wife Attacked and Van.
pushed n Determined Burglar.

Early in the morning Mrs. David Con-
hahn was aroused from sleep By q burglars
steathy step. She could hear the burglar
moving along on his hands and knees from
the dining room to the bed room, and at
each step something struck the floor which
she believed to be either q billy or revolver.
But in the meantime the burglar had taken
Ill her husbands clothing which had been
left on chair, including a gold watch and
.hain and 500 in cash, aud was stealthily
making his way back toward the dining
room door, which opens into yard fronting
Eleventh street. Mrs. Contain concluded
that the time for action had arrived. She
ner of the room wherein loaded revolver
was kept, and in doing 80 must have passed
within a few feet of the crouching burglar.
After gaining possession of the revolver, she
entered the dining room just as the burglar
had passed ont to the porch, where he was
found standing on the step with most of the
stolen clothing under one arm and the vest
held in his right hand. This brought them
within about three feet Of each other. The
brave lady covered tho thief with the weap
on and exclaimed:
"Drop the clothes or viii fire |"
The response came in the shape of blow
over the head and face with the vest held in
the burglars hand, he evidently intending
to either blind her or knock her down with
the weight of the heavy gold watch in the
pocket. Luckily, however, the watch flew
out of the pocket and, as Mrs. Contain
threw her hand up to ward off the blow, the
chain struck between her fingers, close to
the watch. Instantly she closed her hand
over the timepiece, gave jerk backward,
which broke the chain. whereupon the bur-
gar, with fierce oath, threw the vest at
her face, unconscious of the fact that the
sum of $50 in currency had been left undls.
turbed in one of the pockets.
The burglar then started toward Eleventh
street, Mrs. Contain firing two shots at
him, without effect probably, and following
him as closely as possible When he reach
ed the sidewalk on the latter street he stop
ped an instant, threw up both hands and
dropped all the clothing ON the sidewalk,
Mrs Contain picking them up and carrying
every garment back TO the house. 81

THE BRIDEGROOM TARRlEp.

Elaborate preparations for marriage
ceremony had been made on High street last
night The minister was present to tie the
nupsial knot, the quests had arrived, and tho
bride, with FACILITATING heart, awaited the
arrival of the n,an who was to be her part
per for life. The marriage was to have
taken place at seven o'clock, and the groom
went away short time before, stating that
he wished to don another suit of clothes
The time for the ceremony arrived, but the
groom did not appear. The bride grew anx-
ious, the guests gazed upon the good things
and wondered at the delay. Finally scouts
we're sent out. The Central Station was
visited in the belief that, in the excess of his
happiness, the would-be husband had i'm
bibed too freely of the oil OF joy, but the
guardians of the peace had not seen him.
After considerable time spent III search he
was found and brought to the house. Mat
tiers began to look brighter and immediate
preparations were made to complete tho
marriage But it was not to be, for the
groom discovered that no had forgotten his
marriage license. Again he started on the
run to procure this passport TO his future
happiness, with which he returned after
some delay, and at half-past ten o'clock the
knot was tied and everything went as NOR
rily as marriage bell - Providence Jour.
