THE TRIBUNE

tomorrow morning will claim the state by
900 plurality, and the claim seems to be
perfectly well founded This is the Trib-
unes editorial:
VictoryI The figures justify our belief Blaine
and Logan are elected by the vote OF New YORK.
Indiana and the Southern states Of which hopes
are entertained can only swell an electoral vote
already sufficient. This belief is based upon the
returna collected by the associated press
from every voting precinct in the state
except 10. which we have carefully verified as
far as possible by special dispatches. The pre-
cincts not heard from gave a plurality OF 100
for President Garfield. In these scattering
precincts there have been no Democrats
gains for some time past, anu II 70 70
impossible that there can be in the twelve snan
preciuets remaining such Democratic gains as 10

patches and tabuiatiOn, the election Oh Dlaliio

are equally positive to the contrary The
probabilities point, however, to a

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way: After tree is felled to the earth
it is cut up into chips, which are laid
in tub on n large iron pot, partially
filled with water and placed over q
slow fire. Through holes in the bot
tom OF the tub steam slowly rises, and,
heating the chips, generates oil and
camphor. OF course, the tub with the
chips has a closely fitting cover. From
this cover bamboo pipe leads to a
succession of other tubs, with bamboo
connections, and the last of these tubs
is divided into two departments, one
above the other, the dividing floor
seing perforated with small holes to
allow the water and oil TO pass to the
lower compartment. The upper COM
partment is supplied with straw layer
which catches and holds the camphor
III crystal in deposit rs it passes to the
cooling process. The camphor is then
separated from the straw, packed in
wooden tubs, and is ready for the mar
ket. The oil is used by the natives for
illuminating and other purposes.

One day, while work on the fort was
being carried on with its accustomed
vigor, Col. Hovey, as was usual with
him, was around among the boys TO see
how the work progressed, lending q
helping hand now and then, as he saw
occasion. Among others, he came
across man who was working with
considerable difficulty, by reason of not
having the proper tools to use. The
man did not recognize the Colonel,
who was dressed in plain way, and
looked, it must be confessed, more like
common soldier than like what we
would expect to see In the per-
son of the commander of the
famous Normal regiment. Col. Hovey
noticed the workman a moment, and
then asked: Gould you not do that
work better if you had good hand
saw to use?" dWhy, yes" said the
man; Il believe that 1 could Say, old
chap, won't you go over to the tool
house and get one for me?" The
Colonel trudged off to the tool
house, nearly quarter of a mile dis
tant, and promptly returned with
n hand-saw. The workman praised him
for his promptness and continued his
work. The Colonel stood looking on
and soon again suggested: Il should
think that you could do that better if
you had a good ak to use" "Yes, /
never thought of that; won't you run
over to the other side of the fort and
see if you can find one for me?" Col.
Hovey went as before, and soon re.
turned with the desired tool. His apt
suggestions and willingness had COM
pletely won the workingman's good
will. We'll, old hoss,' said he, in his
warmest, friendliest manner, "you are q
mighty handy chap, and if you will
come around and see me this evening /
will go with you to headquarters and
have YOU assigned to help me as carpen-
ter, and you will then get better wages
than you do now as a common laborer."
At this time, seeing that some of
those who knew him were beginning to
notice the interesting interview, Col.
Hovey passed to some other part of the
work. The honest workman's aston
ishment, when informed who his handy
chap" actually was, can be well mag

The Use Of Tobacco.

A comparison showing the relative
extent to which various nations are adj
dicted to the use of tobacco gives the
proportion as follows: For England,
France and Russia, 5; for Italy, Z; for
Cuba, IL; for Austria, IL; for Germany
and North America, 10; for Belgium,
"a, and for Holland, %. Mexico, how
ever, even surpasses Holland, for there
every one is smoker. The school
children who have done best in their
studies are rewarded by being allowed
to smoke cigar as they stand or sit at
their lessons. The schoolmaster him
self is seldom without cigar in his
mouth. In the law courts all persons
enjoy their tobacco freely, and even the
accused in a criminal trial is not denied
the indulgence.

His neck is fitted on globe-socket,

thing that goes on. The man who
comes i'll late does not escape him, and
it is vain for the tenor to think he got
that little note to the alto, conveyed
between the leaves of hymn-book,
unobserved. The watcher saw it. He
sees the hole in the quarter that Elder
Skinner dropped in the plate. He
sees that Deacon Slowboy has but one
cuff. If the door swings, he looks
around; if the window moves noise
lessly, he looks up. He sees the
stranger in his neighbours pew, and he
sees Brother Badman, sitting away
back under the gallery, furtively take a
chew of the inhibited fine-cut. All
things that nobody wants him to see, the
watcher sees. He sees so much that
he has no time to listen. Huntington
