MIR. Blaine Gives It Up.
he Made a Good Fight and Bows
TO the Will Of the People.
BOSTON. Nov. Is

BOsToN, Noy. Is.
A special to the Herald from Angus
ta\ says that Mr.. Blaine regards The
official count in New York as practi-
cally settling the Presidential question.
Mr.. Blaine, it is stated on the best au-
thority received this afternoon tele-
gram from New York announcing the
completion of the official canvass in
that city and informing him that the
plurality for Cleveland in that State
would be 1,137. The same authority
states that Mr.. Blaine accepts the re-
suit very cheerfully and has no regrets
growing out of his connection with the
campaign. He feels that he made
good fight and gracefully bows to the
verdict OF the American people. He
believes the Republican party will
prove true to its grand past and will
increase in strength with the coming
years. He expects that in 1888 it will
again be called back into power. Mr..
Blaine leaves for Washington the mid
die of next week, whit re he and family
will spend the winter. He has leased
the Sargent house" in Farragut
Square, and will shortly resume his
work on the second volume of'Twenty
Years In Congress" The volume will
be ready by next June for publication.

How the President Is Chosen.

Technically speaking, sthe president
is not elected by the people, and the
people do not vote directly for any pres
idential candidate. They cast their
ballots for electors, and these electors
choose president and vice president.
In each state the number of electors is
equal to the number of senators and
representatives which the state has ia
congress. In New York there are
thirty-six electors. Each party has an
electoral ticket with the names of
these thirE-5ix electors printed on 1t, /,

Wonderful.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept 25th, 1850.
"Very seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by a Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
ters persons talking TO their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at II. K. Porter & Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which

"He gradually grew worse, and in a few
months the elbow and knee Joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblanc of
skeleton, while vitality reached it's lowest
possible condition, and his sufTcrinCs were OF
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be

physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes OF
recovery
"The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, PERuNA. In two
ccptible. In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite we'll as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work as machinist at his old place,
able to perform much labor as everi in his life
1.-The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said 'Indeed / can not look upon
the cure much less than as miracle. | do not
hesitate N sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends.'"
The pastor Of the church where the Young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deformed
bones, the emaciated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up He
was greatly surprised at his improved condition.
S lid he, elf he had not spoken, would not
have known him.
