In two days was able TO get about and attend

with the came results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had to bor-
row dollar to buy a bottle OF ATnLoPHoRos.
On account OF his poverty his name shall remain

Reading Well.

There is no accomplishment

charm as good reading; and where
one person will be charmed by
music, twenty will be fascinated
by good reading; and where one
person can be a good musician.
twenty can be good readers. It
seems to bring back the old authors,
and to cause US to imagine ourselves
sitting down and talking familiar

charming or interesting than the
plays of Shakespeare, when deliv-
cred in clear, distinct and well
modulated voice? There is no &C.

overlook the librarian, Miss Bah

idea Of the kind of menta! food in

But delightful as this systematic,
comprehensive way of conducting
a business meeting was, inspiring

Unfinished.

The day has ended, and The sun has set,
Unfinished is the task planned to do,
sit and ponder DER with deep regret
The golden sunlight vanished from my
view.
And then full oft at last when life doth close,
And toll is ended for the restless feet,
And for the busy hands the long repose,
The cherished work of life is incomplete.
o Thou, who knowest all from sun to sun,
From birthday morning to deaths even
ing chill,
Look on thy children, with their tasks I'M
done,
In loving-kindness, and forgive them
still.

Secret OfReStfuIneSS.

What is the secret Of the alb
sence of fret and worry in your
life, Aunt Margaret?" asked a
young lady of dear old Quaker
dame, in whose household she had
passed week. "You do more work
than any woman I know, yet new
or are hurried; you have countless
annoyances,yet never seem ruffied.
Other people are constantly bring
ing their tangles to you to be
Strengthened out; moral tangles,
mental tangles, household tangles,
and you never seem to have any of
your own"
"Not SO fast, my chiEa," said
Aunt Margaret, quietly laying
down her pen and taking up her
knitting-her fingers were rarely
ever idle when she talked, and the
warm mittens she knit for poor
children and the Afghans to cover
some sick body's couch were given
away as freely as her leving coun-
Gil and tender words. She called
all work done in conversation her
"work tasks" and the words SEEM

fingers, "Not so fast, my child"

DURING the late campaign the New
York World converted itself into an
illustrated paper in many of its issues,
and its cartoons were infinitely better
than those Of Thomas Mast in Har-
per's Weekly. II can claim the credit
Of having made the most spirited
campaign ever recorded of any Amer
lean newspaper AS u result, its
circulation has run up, at
times, to nearly two hundred
and thirty thousand copies. The New
York Sun, on the other hand, having
abdicated its rightful position as the
fugleman Of the Democracy, and
having gone off after the fetish Butler,
has seen its circulation correspond
ingly diminish.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Times put in great deal Of its space
yesterday in showing that the HERALD
may have induced some of its numer-
ous readers to lose money on betting.
As matter Of fact, we have not done
80. Our extreme caution has unques-
tonably saved many Democrats from
losing on possible extravagant bets
on New York majorities. Can our
I" steamed " contemporary say as
much? We doubt it, II devoted
much of its space yesterday to ques-
tioning our right to print special
telegram from New York to the San
Francisco Examiner, which we re-
ceived specially. There was in that
telegram nothing OF the essential silli
ness of the dispatch interpolated,
through some powerful source, into
the Associated press kilograms, and
which stated that two thousand Blaine
ballots had been thrown out in single
election precinct OF New York. In ad
dition, the HERALD's editorial com
ments were sagacious and contained.
They led up, by an easy but graceful
gradation, to the true evolution OF the
facts OF the late election, by which,
through the agency Of II small plural
ity in the Empire state, Grover
Cleveland and Thomas \. Hendricks
will be President and Vice President
of the United States by the comio.ta
BILE majority of eighteen OF the Flee
toral Colleges. We do not plopose
to initiate our contemporary by
iloundering through whole column
the animating principle OF which =

nothingness Hamlet dwelt in his

Thar there was an attempt to bull
doze the country into an acceptance
OF the idea that Blaine was elected,
in which the telegraph was used, at
least in the initial stages, cannot be
doubted. The first sign Of the cay
ing down the banks" was the con
gratulatory telegram from Jay Gould
TO President-elect Cleveland. The
second was the telegram Of Wander
bilt to the same purport These
money magnates were not slow to
desert the man they had banqueted
but few days before, and whose cor
ruption fund they had furnished.
Their conversion was not as sensation
al as that OF Saul OF Tarsus, but il
was quite as effectual. OF this mar
velous change Of heart the New York
Herald of the sth inst. has this 10
say:
Many interpretations will be put
upon Gould's cringing and fawning
dispatch to Governor Cleveland, pre-
tending TO congratulate him upon his
election TO the Presidency, but two
facts in regard to il are clear First,
il is an admission that Gould himself
was vital point in the opposition
the main instrument in the endeavor,
by misuse Of the telegraph, to falsify
the returns and to fill the country
with the opinion that Blaine was elect
ed. Unless Gould's dispatch is in
terpreted that way as the recognition
of an arch conspirator II has no sig
nifcance, for there is no special rea-
son aside from that why he should
appear in the case. Next, II is the
plainest admission that the attempt
il failure and that the game is up.
Gould knows when he is beaten.

THE Los Angeles HERALD, always
the popular and leading daily news
paper of Southern California, has OF
late seen itself spreading like the
green bay tree OF the scriptural simile.
We have been absolutely oppressed,
during period OF comparative busi-
ness dullness, by the favors of adver-
tisers, while our circulation has ex-
panded ut rate to distance our most
sanguine expectations. Taking the
ratio of population We have no hesita-
ton in saying that this journal has
the largest circulation of any daily
in the world. To rival it New York
paper would be Obliged to chronicle u
circulation OF five hundred thousand.
For nearly a year and u half we have
been forced to publish u daily sup

tration of President Cleveland we
really do not know where we shall

PERHAPS the most astonishing fea-
ture of the late election is the extent
to which the vote of Gen. BENJAMIN
Franklin Butler has shrunk, To read
the pronunciamientos of his partizans,
his strength was growing daily like
the gourd Of Jonah. According to
them it was to be Il question whether
Cleveland or Butler would receive the
most votes in the Empire State. The
secret OF his collapse is not far to
seek. Americans have an instructive
hatred for trcachery, however dis
guised. Ii the stmbismic statesman
had never taken any part in the lii
cago National Convention, hut had
applied himself to organizing Il new
party, considering his peculiar dem
agogic gifts, he would doubtless have
cut far bigger figure than he sue.

stances OF his flagitious betrayal OF

average American, who expects every

disappointments without wincing. 1t

IMPATIENT as people naturally are
for the defnitive declaration of the
result of the Presidential election,
they must not overlook the fact that
such matters are necessarily slow and
dragging. Thus, in the Hancock cam
paign, it was not until the Goth of No
vember that the count of the Empire
State was completed. In 1884 the
election took place on the 7th of No
vember, while this year it came off
on the 4th. We have, therefore, the
advantage OF three days in this year
OF grace. BY Monday night the mat
ter ought to be decided and certified,
and the official announcement will
doubtless appear in Tuesday morn
ing's HERALD. Thereafter business
will settle down into its ordinary chan
mel, and it will doubtless experience
great impetus. Good government
will bring about good times every
where. Even the certain promise of
it will do much to hasten this desider-
atum.

Our amiable and accomplished
young friend Major George s. Patton
has lately been held up in certain
ferocious newspapers as Southern
fire-eater OF the deepest dye. The
truth is that he is Ms debonnair n
cavalier rs ever lived, and is utterly
free from any bloodthirstv intentions.
In the very graceful and eloquent
speech with which he wound up the
Democratic jubilee last night Major
Patton assured his hearers that the
milk of human kindness so warmed
in his veins that he could hug the
Porcupiae and clasp the American ilag
to his heart He reminded them,
also, that he was one OF million
young men who Were born since Fort
Sumter was fired upon. There is food
for reflection in this idea, and sec
tional bigots would do well to occa-
sionally bear il in mind.
