NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-Charles ssFrancis
Adams, president of the Union Pacific rail
way, has sent the following communication
to Sidney Dillon, explaining the
financial condition of the company:
During the three months Of July to Sep
TENDER, inclusive, we received 81, 100000 a
month net from Omaha. By net, I mean
over and above Omaha drafts During Oc-
tober we received 81, 450, 900, and paid about
$150,000 on Omaha drafts, leaving US net
$500, 900 for the month. Between now and
Jan. l | expect to receive S2OO0,000, $780,
900 of which will be necessary to pro.
vide for coupons and maturing obligations
which must be paid off. But I am con-
fdent that we will have in these two
months 81, 500,0 900 net to apply to the floating
debt. l may overestimate in these figures,
but I do not think do. The PulmanEnotes
given for our share in the contract are re-
duced now to S150,O00. The company owes
us about $4,000. Meanwhile our accounts
at Omaha are in better condition than they
have been for a long time. There are no ar
rears of vouchers and auditor reports
everything is well paid up The reduc-
ton in the gross earnings the past
month was largely due to the fact Of
the changed methods of keeping accounts.
Last year we credited ourselves with about
$4,000 freight paid on coal used for our To-
comotives. Of course, we never received
this money, and it went into subsequent ex-
penses. This year the system of charges is
actual, and the apparent gross is decreased
in SO much. During September, therefore,
we practically received about 100000 more
in money than last year. / propose to come
on to New York next week and take
hold Of the floating debt. From this time
forward the plan is to reduce it steadily and
by every means in our power until it is ex-
tingIIishedn

The st. Louis fashionable girl has q
new toy. She has taken to live dolls.
She plays with borrowed babies. Her
delight is to get possession of a pretty
infant and subject it to extravagances
of fondling and adornment. When she
drives in village cart nursemaid sits
beside her to hold the little pet. When
she goes shopping the servant carries
the baby into the store. When called
upon in her own residence she is found
with the child in her coddling arms.
Nothing in the freakish line of girlish
diversion has ever taken more sudden
hold on passing fancy. Of course,
pretty babies are in urgent demand.
Wherever one exists the family is dis
turbed by the competition between
sisters, cousins and aunts to get pos
session. And if no baby in blood re-
lationship can be procured the eager
young mother by brevet does not hest
tate to procure one from among the
offspring of some poor and obliging
woman. The wardrobes which ac-
company this indulgence are wonders
of beauty, taste and cost.

Things Worth Knowing.

l. That fish may be scaled much
easier by dipping into boiling water
about q minute.
2. That fish may as we'll be scaled, if
desired, before packing down in salt,
though in that case do not scald them.
3. Salt fish is quickest and best fresh
ened by soaking in sour milk.
4. That milk which is turned or
changed, may be sweetened, and rend-
cred fit for use again by stirring IN a
little soda.
5. That salt will curdle new milk;
hence, in preparing milk porridge,
GRAVES, ETC., the salt should not be
added until the dish is prepared.
6. That fresh meat, after beginning
to sour, will sweeten if placed out doors
in the cool over night.
z. That clear boiling water will re-
move tea stains. Pour the water
through the stain, aud thus prevent its
spreading over the fabric.
8. That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white cloth,
also from the hands.
9. That tablespoonful of turpentine
boiled with your white clothes will aid
the whitening process.
10. That boiled starch is much i'm
proved by the addition of little sperm
or little salt, or both, or little
gum arabic dissolved.
II. That beeswax and salt will make
your rusty fatirons as clean and smooth
as glass. Tie lump of wax in a rag
and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot rub them first with
wax rag, then scour with paper
or cloth sprinkled with salt.
IL. That blue ointment and kerosene,
mixed in equal proportions, and APP
piled to besteads, is an unfailing bed
bugs remedy, and that a coat Of white
wash is ditto for walls of q log house.
Is. That kerosene will soften boots
or shoes which have been hardened by
water, and render them as pliable as
new.
II. That kerosene will make the tea
kettles as bright as new. Saturate a
wooden rag and rub with it, 1t will
also remove stains from clean vanished
furniture.
Is. That cool rain water and soda
will remove machine grease from wash
able fabrics. Every one of the above
recipes is unfailing.

Cnre for Snnke-Bitcs.

Very few physicians know how TO
successfully treat snake-bite. l have
had hundreds of cases under my OBJ
seryation, and have seen many wonder
full cures. In countries where the
yenomous rattlesnake abounds and
bites are frequent, incision rs treat
ment is almost unheard OF. The most
common antidote used is whisky in
LARGO quantities, which acts to a good
effect where the patient is not addicted
to drink, but should he be partly satur-
ated with alcohol, then it is OF no avail.
A cure not generally known. and
which acts almost by magic, is to take
q live chicken and cut 1t open and
place it over the wound. In two or
three minutes the fowl becomes thor
oughly saturated with tho poison, and
assumes dark-grecn color. Then
place q fresh one on the punctured
parts, and still third one, which Is
usually sufficient in ordinary cases.
A never-failing remedy that is used
to q great extent in Florida is a COM
bination of lion-root and rattlesnake-
violet The former is made into tea,
and a salve is made of the violet. Be-
fore using this, however. poultice
made of salt and indigo is applied to
the wound to draw out the poisonous
matter.
Another remedy, easily applied and
always at hand, is to dig hole in the
earth and bury the injured part in 1t.
There is something peculiar in con-
nection with q snake-bite, and l want
to tell you of it. If a man should be
bitten on the arm, say to-day, just one
year from now. within day or two Of
the anniversary of the occurance, the
arm will begin to swell, and yellow
spots resembling those of snake ap-
pear, and this will recur each succeed
ing year.-PittS6urg Gazette.

Results Generally.

CHICAGO, Nov. S-Tho result Of the cleo
ton in New York has been the absorbing
topic of the past four or five days, and other
states have not been paid much attention to-
The results, however, have been pretty we'll
indicated in these dispatches, especially in
the states which wero claimed by both
parties, and there is nothing to change.
Illinois The state gives Blaine plurality
Of about 25 900, and Og!esby OF about 1900
Much surprise is expressed at Democratic
headquarters over the result i'll Cook county,
which was considered sure for a good ma
jority for Harrison for governor, and
instead give OgleSby nearly 500 plu:a ii5y
Blaine has about 5000 plurality II the
county The Illinois legislature is claimed
by the Democrats by 4 very small majority
on joint ballot, and Hon. Car
ter Harrison seems 70 be the
leading man for U. S. Senator.
The Republicans, however claim that the
Joint vote s,yill be tie. with L possibility
of very small Republican majority. The
Illinois congressional delegation stands, lsiis &
believed, ten to ten.
Indiana-The state i conc2,.2I to the Dem
ocrats by about 5000 pluII;tv. The con-
gressional delegation s,y}Zd,: Republicans,
I; Democrats. 9, 4 l!puGlican rain OF l..
Lamb, Dem, Is def9Sfed bv Johnston, Rep,
in the Eighth district
Virginia-NoFons says the state has gone
Democratic By About 500. West Virginia
is also concedeag TO the Democrats.
Michigan. t.and Wisconsin are Republican
by reducei majoirties.
OF the next congress The Chicago Tribune
says: The whole number Of United States
senator's is seventy-six. As the senate now
starlds there are thirty-nine Republicans.
thirty six Democrats and one vacancy. The
.Hext senate VIII probably have forty-three
Republicans and thirty-three Democrats-a
gain of three senator's"
1.-THE present house contains 121 Republic
ans, 1877 Democrats, and 8 Independents; and
there are vacancies. In the Forty-ninth
congress the Republicans gain twenty-one
congressman, considerably reducing the ex.
sting Democratic majority.
According to The New York Herald the
next lower house Of congress will stand 1S5
Democrats, 13S Republicans, and Peoples
party.
