A PARTISAN newspaper after careful in

gambling houses in that city, and she
tween s30, 900, 900 and $50, 00O, 900 are COM
puted to have been lost there during the
last five years. The minimum profits Of
the banks in the clubs are put down at
$1,000 daily, and In the less select gamb-
ling houses at $500. Taking the aver
age at 500 per day, the total for the five
years comes out at the respectable
figure Of 81, 100000. Nearly S1',500,OO0
are set down at the five years ''plck-
ings' of the oroupiers and preteurs.
Some Of these men make enormous in

THr displacement Of the Republican
Federal office holders In the South will
put an end to the petty factions, which
have torn and rent the Republicans in
the South, and will produce that unity
Of sentiment and concert OF action
among them, in future, which is essen
tial to success. Four years hence the
Republicans win wheel into line and
present united front. They can easily
carry several Southern States, with
unity Of organization and energy in
working. The recent vote In Texas was
no test and criterion OF the actual
strength Of the Republican party. Be-
sides, the Republicans were without or
ganization in many counties; they were
at cross purposes and no effort was
made to canvas the state, as 1t should
have been done. Defeat viii chssten

A cobbler takes half a day to sole and
heel pair of Shoes In Crow Hill Pen
tentiary q few hundreds of men and
women start with the raw material and
turn out three thousand and eight
hundred pairs of shoes in ten hours, or
more than six pairs of shoes a minute.
The men and women have little to 90
with it. Machines do the work, and
need only to be fed, started and
stopped; all the fine and ingenious work
of building beautiful shoe they do, one
part at time and one machine to each
part. For instance, the first machine
cuts the soles out of the leather. 1t is
nothing but punch fitted with a knife
the shape of a shoe sole. Different
sized knives cut out anything from a
baby's to plantation darky's size.
Cutting out the soles leaves the sheets of
leather in tatters. The biggest tatters are
used for heels; the smallest make fuel.
Leather scraps make as good furnace
fire as coal does. The next machine
splits thin slice of the upper surface
of the sole a little way from the edge all
around, SO that it looks as if a thin
sheet had been pasted on to the sole,
leaving the edges unpasted. Under
this loose edge machine presses little
gutter or channel, in which the mailing
or sewing is done, and afterwards hid,
den by FASTING the loose edge over il
when the upper is attached.
At the same moment other convicts
are cutting uppers out of sheets Of
dressed calfskin. They lay patterns or
the skins and thus cut the needed sizes.
This is done by hand, but the Innings
are sewed to the uppers, and the button
holes are put through both leather and
Innings by machinery. The buttonholes
are stitched by automatic machines, con
sisting of sewing machine having I'M

not touch them while they are at work
After this the soles and uppers com,
into the hands of one set of convicts
the lasters and tackers on, who put tn,
two together with very few s'ual
taeks. These people all work like
lightning, but they are slow beside tn

The soles and uppers are firmly joinet
in several ways. One machine puts il

A short time ago a young woman
residing not far from Whitby was tell
ing in a neighbours house how her hus-
band had been troubled for several days
with severe pain in his head, that she
had done everything she could think Of
to relieve it, that even the DOCTORS med
icine didn't seem to do any good. and
that she was about tired out. ThereupoD
a new neighbor, who had Just been in
troduced to her, kindly asked il she had
tried soaking his feet in mustard and
hot water. Greatly to the astonish-
ment of the woman who had made the
suggestion, the wife turned upon her
like tigress. "Insult my atlliction,

the wife OF the sick man. working her
fingers convulsiyely, her blood rising
to boiling heat and her voice getting
higher and higher. The hostess at this
point interposed in the defense of the
new neighbor, and quiet was finally re-
stored. After the wife had retired, and
explanations were entered into, it APP
peared that some years before the sick
husband had been deprived OF both his
legs by piece of machinery, and there
had been a story that his present wife
married him for his money. People

Maine.

The returns up to the hour of writing
from Maine indicate Republican ma
iority OF some $1,000 to 5000. The
returns have been sent, compared with
those of September, 1864 silly mode
of comparison which only requires
little more analysis to get at the proba-
BILE result. The Blaine managers will
claim great victory. They ought to
be allowed all the encouragement they
can gather from the effect OF their
great and practically unopposed efforts
in the State from which they have taken
their candidate. Tney need it for their
personal consolation, but thai is all the
good it will do them. AS compared
with the September vote of 1876, the
last one held under normal conditions,
they ought to have had more than 90
900 majority. The average majority
from 1860 to 1876, in September oil
Presidential years, was 1890. So il
will be seen that with all their strain.
ng, with the advantage of Mr.. Blaine s
appeals to State pride, with the field
substantially abandoned to them, the
Republicans have managed to hold their
own, but have not succeeded in getting
their fair share of the increased vote.
If that satisfies the managers we have
no disposition to complain.
1t is plain that the election will have
but little influence on other States. 1t
gives no evidence of any such popular
ity on Mr.. Blaines part in the State OF
his residence as should have been ex-
pected; none such as Mr.. Edmunds
would have shown in Vermont, or Mr..
Lincoln in Illinois, or Mr.. Gresham in
Indiana. 1t discloses the fact that
here he should have been overwhelm-
ngly strong he is no stronger relative
lY than even Mr.. Hayes eight years ago.
The real struggle is yet to be made.

Musty Floors In Houses,

Where house is built over the
ground and with no cellar under it, the
confined, moist air encourages mold
and'decay of the timber. The spores OF
mildew are undoubtedly unwhoesome
and provoke diseases which come under
the head of malarial, and which often
take the form of fevers of the worst
type. Every house should have a cellar
under the whole of it, if only for the
purpose of avoiding this damp, confined
air; or, if not, the building should be
set on posts or piers two feet and be
wholly open under it. The summer is
the worst season for mildew, as it will
not grow in the winter and frost kills
it. Houses in cities are always built
over cellars: for the greater part there
is far more attention given to healthful
provision of this kind in towns and
cities than in country places. Damp
ness in the soil under and around a
house is certain to produce the most
serious diseases, as typhoid fevers, con.
sumption, rheumatism and the so-called
malarial complaints, and will ruin the
health Of naturally robust persons. The
choice of the location for house is OF
the utmost Importance; it should be dry
before all other requirements, and a
cellar is indispensable.-N Y. Times.

An Island Fortress.

AS tho visitor to this port, by steamer
Orby sailing vessel, enters the famous
Golden Gate and realizes the extent and
beauty of San Francisco, the most
prominent object which meets his gaze
is the island of Alcatraz, that seems to
stand as a lonely sentinel, thoroughly
armed with batteries and redoubts, pre-
pared TO dispute his passage unless
properly certified This natural forti-
tication impresses the latest conner with
as much force in this respect rs it did

which to float the flag of his sovereign
and compel alien nations to render
proper homage. Il is striking fact
thas the very points now occupied by
che various Notifications of "Uncle
Samuel" if not actually used by the
Spanish authorities before the conquest,
yet they were reserved from tn grants
so freely granted in those primitive
