A ..Rainy Day.,

"You attribute the close vote In New
York, then, Mr.. Blaine, solely to the &C.
ton Of the Independents and Prohibition
lists 2"
mo, not solely" replied Mr.. Blaine.
According to the numerous letters I have
received from Central and Western New
York. il would seem that the rainy day les
sened the Republican vote. The Demo-
cratic majorities lie in the cities where,
by q few minutes walk on q good pave
ment, q man reaches his polling place.
The Republican msjorities are in the
country, where large numbers live, three,
four, or sven five miles from the polling
places, which, on election day, had to be
reached over muddy roads and in q rain
storm. Had the day been fine the Repub-
lican majorities in the rural counties
would have been increased, one good judge
writes me, by probably 10000; but all
agree by from 5000 20 5000. The actual
difference betweea the two parties in the
final count, whichever way it goes, will
perhaps not exceed 1000. about one
twelfth of one per cent of the total vote,
or one voter in every 1900 for the entire
State. So, il the Democrats have carried
New York by the small margin, as the
latest news indicates, you see how easy q
fair day might have reversed the result.
But great political battles, like military
battle, are often lost or won by an ap-
psrently trivial incident or accident,
which no human foresight can guard
apainat."

SAN Francisco, Nov. I'm. H. De
Young, proprietor Of the Chronicle, was
shot twice in the left arm at $50 this
eveningby Adolph Spreckels, son Of CLAUS
spreckles, the Hawaiian sugar king. The
wounds are not considered dangerous.
The shooting took place at the business
Office of the Chronicle. on the corner Of
Bush and Kearny streets. Spreckels fred
two shots. The first one struck De Young
in the left arm q little above the elbow.
The second n hit him in the shoulder.
The cause OF the shooting is attributed to
an article published in the Chronicle Sun
day morning, In reference to the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company, Of which
Claus Spreckels was President. Adolph
Spreckels was arrested and taken to the
City Prison. THE Chronicle has per-
sistently scored Claus Spreckels on his
monopoly of Hawaiian sugar, and IN
many articles has advocated Congress
sional measures to restrict him in his
privileges as ''sugar king" We do not
remember the article alluded to in the
dispatch, but we presume it was more
bitter and personal than the rest and

Rescue hose cart was at the corner Of

Curiaus Growth.

Neil Campbell brought down to this
office last night, from Adams Hill, a very
singular specimen Of vegetable growth.
II is the sproutings Of a potato which was
thrown out into the sagebrush by some of
the miners, and which lay on the ground
to f~ructify in the air and without any
nutriment from the soil. The potato put
out several stout uun about a foot long,
on each of which appear clusters OF little
''spuds;" and, also, one other independent
sort of tendril nearly six feet in length.
On this tendril. which, underground, we
would have to call q root, about three feet
from the mother potato, appears q potato
about the size OF a hens egg. which Is, to
all appearances. the same "spud,, as
though II had been fed from the SOIL IN
stead OF drawing its nourishment from
thin, dry air. The vegetation in other
respects Is not extraordinary. but the
potato raised on air ia a real curiosity.

The Stafford.

1t is cheering to hear from reliable
sources that the Stafford mine, White
Pine District, is yielding handsomely now;
that the property Is in fine working order,
and that its prospects for the future are
brighter than ever before. We have
already given the opinion OF r. ID. Clark
and Capt. Frank Drake to this effect. The
views Of these first-class mining men will
probably be proved to be correct in due
time. Developments are being made sys-
tematically and at the least expense. By
next Spring or Summer we may con-
idently expect to find their prediction OF
a genuine old-time bonanza fully verified.
Eugene N. Robinson, the manager OF the
Sweetwater Company's property, super
intends all work personally, and with
noteworthy intelligence and industry.
The amount Of bullion shipped from the
Stafford In October was $12,544 Ga, and
for November, to the 18th inst, So, 214 40.
The total production OF bullion up to the
latter date was S74. sos 80. Every indica.
ton is favorable for a largely increased
bullion output next season. Among the
important steps recently taken to develop
the mine, is the letting OF q cantract by
Manager Robinson to run in on the
Wheeler Tunnel Alb feet. This will extend
the claim through the Hidden Treasure
patent at a depth OF 497 feet.

Highest Masonic Degree.

The Tucson (Arizona) Star has the fol.
lowing relative to M. P. Freeman. we'll
known as a former resident of Nevada:
1.-THE Supreme Council of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Ma.
sonry, in session in Washington City, has
just elected M. P. Freeman in the thirty.
third, or highest. degree known to legiti.
mate Masonry, being the degree of Sow.
ereign Grand Inspector General.
1.-The distinguished honor that this i'm
plies is not fully understood even by q
large class Of Masons, being a distinction
to which but few can hope to attain, Mr..
Freeman being the only one in Arizona
who has even been thus honored. This
degree, unlike all others in Masonry, can
not be applied for. and can only be given
when unsolicited, the statutes of the Su-
preme Council declaring that should it be
asked for il must be refused"
