The members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee claim that theratio of the
majority shown thus far by the returns, the
Republicans have carried Ohio by Is, 900.
Fifth Avenue, in front of the Republican
headquarters, is massed with people who
are singing marching Through Georgia, /"
SIN the Morning by the Bright Light,"
etc. The members of the Committee con-
cede that the Democrats have
carried West Virginia, but refuse to say
anything about the majority. At the Dem
ocratic headquarters the statement is made
that their returns are being held back while
those of the Republicans are being pushed
forward, highly eolored in favor of Repub-
lican success. Private and creditable dis
patches from Ohio make it safe to place the
Republican majority at from $4,000 to
5000.
Ia. NAT this hour the political fervor
is cooled and both headquarters have closed
for the night
AT ALBANY.

"Did you ever see well-dressed lady
Summing anywhere on your beat! asked q
reporter of policeman. Summing is the
term given in London to the practice OF
wealthy and charitable ladies who go alone
into the most squalid and poorest parts OF
the city, seeking out misery and relieving
it.
The policeman said that the nearest ap-
proach to Summing that had come under his
observation was the case Of gayly dressed
woman, with a Bible in her hand who had
gone into a house in the Five Points, and as
cended to the fifth floor, where she found a
starving family about to pawn a locket, a
relic of better days. To relieve their wants
she gave them so cents, but when she went
away the locket went too.
An elderly lady, belonging 10 charitable
society, said: "Nearly all New York's chari-
ties flow through systematic and well under
stood channels Agents from various So
cieties visit the poorer districts, search out
persons who seem to be in need investigate
their cases, and, if they seem fitting subjects
for charity they report to the societies, and
relief is sent These agents are generally
men. New York, 1 am sure, is as charitable
a city as any in the world, but its charity has
to be asked for.''
There Is one class of women, however,
who 60 habitually among the poorest people,
and relieve, as far as they are able, the suf-
fering they find always before them. They
are the Little Sisters of the Poor.

1t Was the Spelling.

Not long ago citizen of Michigan aven-
ue had small house to rent, and he got a
paint brush and shingle and hung out a sign
reading, ''To Wrent." Everybody who
passed by had smile at the photography,
but it was three or four days before the own
er ventured to ask of a butcher:
''Say what on earth makes everybody grin
at the signs''
'Why, it's the spelling that gets 'em."
Itwas explained that the word ''wrent''
was not exactly in accordance with Webster's
latest, and the speller went away mumbling
"Well, if they are so particular about i'll can
change it."
Aud he did. Within two hours there was
a new sign reading, ''Two Let.''

The Nan Who Shot Theodore VintltrOp.
Charlotte Observer

Judge McRae, who is now riding this ju-
dicial district, was wearer of the gray, and
a most gallant fighter throughout the war.
Last week at Mecklenburg court j. II. Potts
was one of the jurors, and Judge McRae rec
ognized him as candidate at the first bat
tie of Bethel. Judge McRae loaded the gun
with which Mr.. Potts shot and killed the Fed
eral Col. Winthrop in that battle. They had
two guns and Potts would do the shooting
while the Judge lay in the ditch and loaded
them for him. 1t was with one of these guns,
that Judge McRae had loaded carefully, that
Potts took deliberate aim at Col. Winthrop
and shot him down. After this Potts asked
the Judge ''Don't you want to shoot a little
bit?" But Judge McKae lying in the ditch,
convinced him that loading was heap the
harder work, and Potts continued shooting.
