THE STREETS OF NEW YORK.
Exciting Scenes and Bitter Feeling Among
the People.


New YORK, Nov. 6-The newspaper Offices
are still besieged with gaping and shouting
crowds, eager to deyour every bulletin as
it appears and wait for more salts
faction from the neSt On Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings the large majorities
that were promised on both sides evoked the
free, boisterous rejoicing of the masses who
were led to believe that the contest was all on
side, but tonight returns have been receig
ed from nearly every election district in the
State. The close figures made the as
pect Of the crowds that hang around
the bulletins that of pent-up, intense
excitement The night was bitterly cold for the
season, but men shouted themselves hOarse on
one side and the other, with no thought
of the weather or their own dscom
fort. The good humored fun bluff. chaif
and buster of Tuesday and Wednesday night
have taken fierce aspect tonight, and given
place to one of intense feeling. The discomfort
was fed by placards suggestive Of attempts to
cheat Republican treachery' and Vengeance
was a conspicuous line IN one of the placards
Other such announcements and accusations, tend
ing TO stir up popular ferment were hung out he
fore the public gaze. Up to a pretty advanced
hour in the evening the Tribune and Mail and
a Republican triumph and the Mail and
Express issued an edition at 10 O'Clock
showing Republican plurality of 372. As the
returns showing a continued plurality for Blaine
were being received in the Tribune Office the
bulletin maker there posted "Blaine, Blaine.

Evils of Decreasing.

s. W. Powell, in Popular Science Monthly.
But there is further mischief which, as being
more widely difused, is less sure to be assigned
to the true cause.-The stripping steep land of its
covering of trees:
l. There is the failure of springs, because
water of precipitation, which should have been
delayed upon the hill sides by the roots, sprouts
mosses fallen leaves, ETC., which fill and cover
the surface of the ground under forest till it
could find the underground spring sources, runs
off the bare slopes in few hours. Dry springs
mean parehed pastures, small crops and I'M
profitable husbandry.
9 The increased cost Of buildings, bridges,
furniture and implements of all sorts, which are,
in whole or in part, made of wood. A large
item in the current expenses Of railroads is the
OUTLAY for ties which must be renewed frequent
ly. Wood for fuel or structural uses is prime
necessity of civilized life; and, as it is bulky its
cost increases rapidly with the distance it must
be carried to reach the consumer. Many eoun-
tries have no stores of coal OF peat, and
must have wood, or be sorely stinted
for fuel; that stnting is waste of
time, health, and vitality. Floods make the
maintenance Of roads difficult and costly, and
so, of course, increase the expense of whatever
must be hauled over them, especially anything
so bulky as wood. Further scarcity of timber
means the cessation of many lucrative indus
tries which use wood for their raw material, and
which are especially desirable affording en-
ployment during portions Of the year when
agriculture the of ocks do not call for all
of the farmers time.
8 There is the arrangement of climate and
rainfall 1t is by no means certain that, at least
in some situations, more rain will not fall in a
year upon a ellwooded than upon bare re
gion. Certainly, what does fall will not evapor-
ate, and be carried away by the winds as quickly
Sudden changes of temperature, and the result
ing violent winds are also less liable to occur
where woods abound. Aforest is better barrier
against wind than a stone wall of equal height,
because it divides its force and does not stop it
all at once, causing eddies and rebounds which
may do damage elsewhere

New York sun.


Mr. w. H. Vanderbilt made the largest con
tribution to the Democratic committee for cam
paign uses of which there is any known record
IN the United States. He reserved this donation
until very late day, probably as an offset to
some of his rich rivals on the other side. The
wealthy Democrats in New York, who have
heretofore been relied upon tofurnish the sinews
of war, have been very sparing of their money
this year with few exceptions. When men
like Mr.. Belmont start out with subscription of
a thousand dollars, the example is not very en-
couraging.

offers of the successors TO Daniel +. Beatty,
Of Washington, NJ.
Beatty failed in 1881. His methods Of
business were not above suspicion. In fact,
ho admitted that he had received 100000
for organs which had never been delivered
BY specious advertising aud remarkable
offers Of bargains did ho got his dupes.
When lie first started out he did not man
ufacture an organ. He advertised great
bargains, and to fill his orders would send
ments. He would place his name on them
and send them out. Afterward he started a
mandatory. BY all manner Of tricks he
got orders.
All of these facts and others wero devel-
oped when he failed. He admitted them
himself He further said that ho had been
losing money all the while.
Among his creditors were number Of
reputable business men. These gentlemen
have undertaken to reiuvenato the bust
ness They promise TO fill all orders for
organs paid for but not delivered. It would
take them at least six months to do this.
Beatty is still connected with the bust
ness In view of all the facts tho public
cannot do itself any better turn than to be
careful in buying organs.
Long before Beatty failed, his method OF
doing business was shown up by tho trade
publications. Those publications, how
ever, reached but comparatively few poo
pie, while Beatty reached the whole Of the
United States by his system Of extensive
and specious advertising.
