WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 1.-THE
most novel event witnessed in Wheel
ing for several years occurred this
afternoon. Richard Henry and David
Kurner, prominent German citizens,
made a bet on the election, by the
terms of which Kuerner was to wheel
Henry from Tenth street to Twenty
third if Blaine was elected, and vice
versa il Cleveland won. Henry paid
the bet to-day. The wheelbarrow
was preceded by a committee of
prominent citizens and a brass band,
and followed by q man carrying q
mammoth pretzel, another leading q
goat fancifully decked, and two 9TH
ers carrying flags. Behind came a
dozen carriages with citizens. A crowd
of at least 5000 gathered along the
route and cheered the party. Several
men in the party wore elaborate cos
tunes. and others red plug hats

Hutton's majority over Reynolds, l,7S7;
plurality same.
We publish the above figures on
account of wild statements we hear
about this vote. As will be seen
although a largely increased Demo
cratic vote was polled, and he only
had one man to run against Tor rath-
er a boy, and the district was thor
oughly canvassed and whipped in,
Hutton's majority is only a little over
one-half rs large as Buckner's was
and his plurality a good deal less
than what Buckner's was. Except
for Audrain's majority Hutton would
have had only 800 votes to spare.
At this rate of decrease it would not
be many years until the It'll district,
in spite of speeches made in every
hamlet by such eminent statesmen as
were on the stumpthis season, would
be lost to the Democracy. The PEG.
pie don't seem to think there is &uch
comparison beer the Hon. A. 81
Rucknef and Col. J. E. Hutton. As
3 matter of fact the majority of the
Democratic party voted for Hutton
rank and file because he was the
nominee of the party, but independ
ents and n~on-partisan voters who are
under no such obligations let hin
severely alone.

There is still large immigration to
various parts of northern Nebraska, es-
pecially in the upper Elkhorn valley
and along the prospective line of the
Sioux City and Pacific railroad. For
some distance above Valentine the land
is of sandy nature, but when point
is reached on the Running Water, about
1875 miles above the town named, there
is a large tract of excellent farming
land. A gentleman who recently locat-
ed at the mouth of Box La Butte in
formed the writer that in that vicinity
there is an agricultural belt at least
fifty miles square, which compares ia
vorably with average lands in the east
ern part of the state The climate there
does not appear. to vary to any great
extent from the climate of this locality.
Corn grows readily, and wheat, oats
and all kinds of vegetables do extraor-
dinarily well. There are now forty or
fifty settlers in the vicinity of Box La
Butte, and early in the spring large
number of immigrants will go there
from Iowa. The construction of the
Sioux City and Pacific railroad to that
point will give impetus to the country
near the western line of the state, and
its settlement and improvement will be
marvellous. 1t is unfortionate for Oma-
ha that it has not direct railroad line
reaching into that territory, as at pre-
sent Sioux City and other towns east
are getting the benefit of its settlement.
Even now it is not too late for this city
to reach out in that direction, and it
should be done if possible. 1t would
pay.

More Lasting than Beauty.

Detroit IimeS
How many women who are pretty
girls at Is or 20 are passe at 25 and
quite unattractive at 80, when they
ought to be in the maturity of their
charms. The truth is that at this day
the woman who adds nothing to her
stock of mental charms by the expert
ences of life is doomed to become a
wall flower. 1t is true that cultivated
mind is not, taken by itself, great at
tractive force; it must be accompanied
by cultivated affections and sympa-
thies. Madame De Steel is an eminent
example of the feeble attractive power
of mere mental strength and vigor.
The fine sympathies, delicate tact and
courtesy instructive in the feminine
mind were so dominated by her great
intellect that while the splendor of her
genius attracted worshipers to her
shine, the GOODNESS of her nature drove
them to sun themselves in the glow of
less richly endowed beings. But the
opposite extreme is more to be feared.
'What we admire in woman is her af-
lection, not her intellect" wrote Long
fellow, but that was third of a CEN
fury ago. 1t is grave mistake to cul-
tivate the affections at the expense of
mental culture. The result is, the over
anxious, fond, weak wife and mother
whose judgment bears no just relation
to the necessity of its exercise. The
right hand may as well exalt itself
above the left as for the Alterations to
dominate the intellect, for they bear
equal relations to symmetrical charac-
ter, and are equally indispensable to
the formation of an attractive woman.
The protecting element in mans ma
ture may yearn over the helplessness of
a mindless woman, but he is either n
great noodle or more than half divine
whose patience is not at least half ex-
hausted by a lifelong pink and white

Others for smaller amounts. In the vi

dlers are travelling in two gangs on the
east and west sides of the Hudson. All
the signatures are genuine, and as the
notes are presented by innocent holders,
third parties-the signers of the agree
ments will in all probability be COMPEL
ed to pay the face of the value of the
notes. In Duchess county one or two
of the parties say they will stand law
suit. One set of the note swindlers is
now near the Columbia county line,
and the other is either in the northwest
ern part of Orange or the southern part
of Ulster The men are of good adj
dress, and their way is described by

Various devices of gang of swindlers

the past four months, and the publicity
given to the skin games and to the
rascals who played them was the means
of putting many unsophisticated per-

a very successful one, came to light to-
day. 1t was the old note signature
game in new guise, and the fellows
who are working it have number of
aliases, their favorites being Montague
Smith, Carl Bronson Brown, James
Redpath, Francis R. Oglevie and others.
Their mode of swindling consists in
selling what purports to be new patent
medicine, with extraordinary "cure
all'' properties. The swindlers pose in
the role of philanthropists, and for the
purpose of doing good and to "bene-
fit their fellows in affiiction" they sell
the medicine for very small sum, $50

The Lar of Marriage.
From the Philadelphia Times, Dem.

FROM inc fHlldutlpbid iiluce, OcAh.
Marriage in Pennsylvania Is simply a
civil contract and can be entered into
just as any other civil contract can be
assumed. Neither priest, minister or
civil or other officer is necessary to a
marriage in Pennsylvania. Parties
may agree to become man and wife
with or without officiating officer and
with or without witnesses. They may
privately agree to become man and
wife, and if they publicly assume the
relations of marriage before the world
and confess and present each other as
man and wife, they thereby impose upon
themselves the marriage tie that can be
dissolved only by death or divorce.
In Kentucky the marriage laws are
different, as preliminary license is re-
quired without which marriage can't
be solemnized. However sincere and
honest in purpose, an informal mar
riage would be technically illegal in
Kentucky that would be legal in Fem
sylvania, and the legitimacy of children
and the laws of Inheritance would not
follow. Persons marrying in good
faith, however, in any state, in accord
with the laws under which they had
lived, and correcting the error when
convinced of it, have fully performed
their duties to themselves and to society,
and no shade of legal, moral OF social
can attach to them or their
children
