the returns of the proper officers of elections
on the 6sd night of the 4th OF November showed
for the electors supporting Cleveland and
Hendricks. If any different or altered re-

New Styles In Reyolyers.

''This," said an expert in firearms,
sis the old-style of self-cocking re-
vOlver, and this is the new The first
was short, stout, clumsy affair of the
pepper-box style in vogue thirty years
ago or more. 1t was loaded with
powder and ball, sent home with a ram
rod, and the hammer, q fiat one, was
in view in the usual place. You see it
took percussion caps, and when the
owner happened to have any to fiji it,
and the spring was strong enough to
make that cap explode, the weapon was
good for five shots with five pulls of
the trigger. It was q clumsy and most
unreliable weapon. 1t was hard to hit
anything smaller than barn-door at
ordinary pistol-shot distance, and when
the object was hit it was not damaged
much. Here is Gee little more mod
crn and little more sure. The ham,
mer is out of sight and the trigger is
ring-shaped. This, too, was heavy.
and so complicated that it was very
liable to get out of order. Then came
the self-cocker, which used cartridges,
but the first experiments were failures,
and they fell into disuse.
fWhat was their weak pointP" asked
the reporter.
THE spring. 1t did not hold its
strength, and after little use the
pistol was apt to miss fire. That nat
urally drove it out of favor at once,
and very properly. That weakness has
been overcome, and springs are now so
adjusted that the shot IS sure every
time. The present self-cocker is neat
handy, quick in action and a dead
sure thing every time. Is it danger
ousp Well, no, not more so than any
other kind of pistol; and in cases
where fraction of second counts one
OF these is worth bushel of hand
cookers. They are little more danger

does not intend TO shoot. I have
known OF several cases in which per
SONS have escaped conviction Tor

element they pulled to hard on the
trigger and the pistol went off bv ACCT

safe in such hands, aud when we think
OF the advantages which quick, re-
liable weapon gives to . man in an

GRANDMA'S ANGEL.


Mamma said: Little one, go and see
II grandmother's ready to come to tea
Iknew mustn't disturb her, so
! stepped as gently along, tiptoe,
And stood moment to take peep
And there was grandmother fast asleep!
knew it was time for her to wake;
| thought I'd give her a little shake,
Or tap at her door, or softly call:
But hadn't the heart for that at all
she looked so sweet and so quiet there,
Lying back in her high armchair,
With her dear white hair and a little smile
That means she's loving you all the while
didn't make a speek of noise;
knew she was dreaming of little boys
And girls who lived with her long ago,
And then went to Heavea-she told me So
" went up close. and didn't speak
One word, but gave her on her cheek
The softeSt bit of little kiss
just in a whisper, and then said this:
Grandmother dear, it's time for tea
I" She opened her eyes and looked at me,
And said: Why, Pet, lust now dreamed
OF little angel who came and seemed
To kiss me lovingly on my face
She pointed right at the very placed
Z" never told her twas only me;

He Kept His Word.

few months ago young man who
had been in the employ of an express
company at point in Wisconsin left
his position and home on account of
failing health, and went to Florida with
the hope of receiving benefit from the
change of climate. About a week ago
he intended returning to his Northern
home in short time, but thought be-
fore leaving the land of flowers he would
send box of oranges to his relatives
and friends in Wisconsin. The oranges
were brought here from Florida by the
Adams Express Company, having been
franked through. From here to their
destination they were to be TRANSPORTED
by the American. The young man who
had shipped the oranges had written
letter to the American explaining the
fact that the oranges had been shipped
over the Adams, and requesting the
American people when they arrived to
put frank which he inclosed in his
letter on the box, and forward that.
adding, in conclusion, 81 will be pass
ing through Cincinnati on NV way
home in a few days, and will call on
you. As the clerk in the American
Express office was reading the letter
lot OF transfer freight from the Adams
had been brought in, and be was asked
to sign for it. As he signed he glanced
down over the way-bill to see
what he was signing, his ewes
were suddenly almost glued to the
paper by seeing the name of
the party whose letter he had lust
been reading regarding the oranges.
The young man had kept his word,
and called at the Office as be was 1oing
to his home in Missouri. He, however.
neither recognized nor saluted any one.
for he was dead. and his body was en-

THE AMERICAN GRACE DARLING.

The Limo Rock Lighthouse, rendered
famous as the home of Ida Lewis, the
Grace Darling of America continues to
send forth its friendly light on the waters
of Newport harbor and Narragansett Bay,
The only occupants of the bit of land where
the light is located are Ida, now mature
woman of about forty years and much
broken in health, and her aged mother
Ida's only brother is mate OF coastinp
vessel and absent from home most of the
time. Her only sister, q lovely girl, died
last November. The light is under the ex.
elusive charge of Ida. The place is a model
Of neatness and comfort. Pictures of the
dead sister and other members of the family
hang upon the walls, while articles of brio
a-brac are neatly and systematically mr.
ranged in various places about the room
But few call at the lighthouse these days
and Ida and her mother lead lonely lives
there. Two large Newfoundland dogs keep
watch and ward ON the outside and keep of
intruders during the night The grounds
comprising the surface of the rock have
been fully improved. The rough places
have been platformed over, and the only

ROSES FOR RICH AND POOR.
Large Increase In the Sale Of Cut Flower
Among the Poorer CInsses.

"Cut flowers Why remember the
time when cut flowers out of the season
we're luxury that only the wealthy could
enjoy. Now more than one-half our bust
ness comes from the poorer classes"
Such was the reply of a well-known florist
of Glen Cove, L. l., when asked about the
business done in cut flowers. Have you
not noticed the increase in flower shops and
stands all over New York; Certainly you
have. The poor servant girl, the mechanis
and the humble dweller in the tenement
house districts are responsible for it all.
Rich people can send their orders direct tc
the dollhouse. The poorer classes, how.
ever, cannot afford to spend much for flow.
srs and the result Is numerous pl ices where
bouquets are made up and sold ut prices
ranging from 10 cents to 81. I'll wager
that tomorrow, IL the day be fair, ther.
will be thousands of dollars worth of cut
flowers sold on the streets alone"
How do you account for this growth OF
interest and appreciation of flowers ?"
attribute II to three things. A de-
sttoittfctit Vi VIC poceto iiututco VI Pto-
pie which manifests itself in the regulation
Of the fashion; the work of the New York
Flower Mission, whose work in the past has
proved the powers of Natures creations
among the sick and lastly to the greater
Ease aud facility with which plants are now
grown
What amount Of money do you think il
spent in cut flowers during year in New
York;"
It is hard to estimate, but am sure II
would amount to two millions of dollars.
There are nearly zoo stores in New York, to
say nothing Of the street stands. One firm
alone know does a business OF $500, 900,
and there are several whose trade amounts
% $50, 600 during the year."

WHAT BATTERED COINS ARE WORTH.

1t is estimated by the treasury officials
that II coin is in active circulation, or il
frequently transferred in treasury and Gus
toms transactions, $40 gold piece should
continue current for fifty years, an eagle TO,
thirty five years, o haf eagle for twent,
years, and ss3 and $3.50 pieces each fifteen
years, says the Philadelphia Record.
Inasmuch as coin cannot continue in
circulation even for short time without
some loss of weight by natural wear Con-
gress has established q margin of loss with
in which coins will be received at the treas
ury at their nominal value. Section Ia of
the act of 1879 provides "that gold coins
which have become reduced in weight
BY natural abrasion not more than one half
Of one per centum below standard weight
after peroid of circulation of twenty years,
and proportionate rate for q less period,
shall be received at their nominal value at
the treasury and its offices.n The standard
weight of the double eagle is Sig grains,
and the amount of abrasion allowed by law
is $500 grains thus leaving the least
rurruns weigne oto 1a-4ee grants. -riis- -.e-
Bai bthuutTu VI hne BOlu dOlinf IL 70
grains. The legal deviation from standard
weight of the dollar is one-quarter of a
grain, hence II will continue current until
reduced below % $500 grains. This mar.
gin allowed by law in the case OF the gold
dollar exceeds the legal limit of wear as ap-
piled to other coins by nearly one-eighth of
grain. All gold dollars coined since 1871
are within the legal tolerance, il not fraud
ulently reduced in weight. All double
sagles II not artifcially reduced, will be
found within the limit Of natural abrasion
allowed by law. The same is true of all
eagles coined since 1856, half-eagles coined
since 1866, and quarter-eagles, or $3.50
pieces, II coined since 1871.
The law provides no way by which un.
current coins, either Of gold or silver, may
DO redeemed at their real value. The only
means at the disposal of the holder of these
coins Is to present his gold 1T the mint,
where it will be received at its bullion value
and iecoined into standard coins, the gov.
eminent charging him the actual cost OF
coinage, or IL he has mutilated silver coins
he must sell them 10 tile government for
what they are worth as bullion.
