THE Empire State asserts her sovereignty,
aud at this moment holds tho balance
trembling in her hands.
Slowly the count goes on, and the great
commonwealth martials her forces through
out her length and breadth to meet the
enemy at Harlem River.
The world awaits the result anxiously
and eagerly.
No man can predict tho issue.
A petty plurality must tell the tale.
The factions pause breathless and vigilant.
Prophesy seems to have silenced its flt-
full tongue.

from the managers.
Hopo is not dead on either side; the light
CLEANS in with every nuctuation of tho

These six States yield a total of 80 cleo
toral votes, OF which Blaine needs to re-
ceive 40 to win, or Cleveland requires 81 to
win.
Michigan may give Blaine 10 votes, or
may give Cleveland 6, Butler and Blaine
If fusion succeeds. West Virginia would
give Blaine and Butler 3 in the event of
Republican success, or Cleveland 6 in the
event of Democratic success
Michigan and West Virginia, therefore,
may yield Blaine 16 votes or Cleveland 12.
Cleveland must carry of the doubtful
States New York and Indiana or New
York and two others to succeed.
Blaine by carrying New York aud any
other State wins the battle.
While the above statement is unques-
toned by either side, the real issue has been
narrowed down materially. Virginia is
virtually conceded as Democratic; Califor-
mia is surely Republican. Giving the DEM
ocrats Indiana and the Republicans Mchi-
gan, the result stands as follows: Blaine

Work OF A single Hair.

In the base of the Capitol at Wash.
ington is the enginery by which the
House, the Senate and the committee
rooms are warmed and ventilated, and
the gas lighted by electricity. 1t is
altogether a big apparatus, consisting
of three immense fans, four engines
and eight boilers, with the necessary
appliances for regulating the tempera-
ture and moisture of the air supplied
to the nations Legislators. the instru-
ment which tells wether the air is too
moist or too dry is operated by ii
single human hair. A perfectly dry
air is put at 0; saturated air, that is,
air carrying all the moisture it will
hold, is put at 100. A dial with a
hand like that of clock represents
the different degrees from 0 to 100.
The human hair absorbs moisture
like a rope, and, like rope, it becomes
shorter when wet. The difference
i'll length between hair six inches
long when wet and the same hair
when dry is made to represent the
hundred degrees of moisture on the
dial; and the hand or pointer moves
backward or forward as the moisture
varies. If it becomes too dry more
steam is thrown in if too moist, less
steamis allowd to escape, and thus
the atmosphere for the nations states
men is regulated and kept at the
healthful point, which is about fifty
degrees.

Fashionable Breakfast.

Breakfasts are the latest novelty in

chief style. The idea comes to us
from Boston, where, among the fash

place of lamps. Last Winter none of
the Boston bellies burned gas in their

order of the season. Now candles are
having turn and being introduced
through these II o'clock breakfasts.
All day light is excluded, and the
guests, about twenty in number, are
seated around four small tables, five
at each table. and the tables are placed
sufficiently near for general converse

after which there may be music or
any amusements suggested by the
