OLD, BUT GooD.-The old story going
the rounds about the Senator from Arkan-
sas who ate chunk of soap disguised as a
caramel, and never WINGED over the dose,
brings to mind a little incident that once
occurred-or is said to have occurred-in
Virginia City, though the story is not par
ticularly new. 1t was the custom in those
days, to set on the tables in the restaurants,
as condiment, a dish of little but very hot
pepper berry, known as the ''chilicopena.
Two Irishmen walked into restaurant,
and seated themselves at table.
"Phwat's them, Pat?" said one, pointing
to the chilicopenas.
"Berries, 1 think" said the other.
Pat put couple of the berries in his
mouth, and in moment the tears were
streaming from his eyes.
"Phwat are ye cryin' about, mon?" asked
his companion.
that me ould mother is dead"
While Pat was saying this, the other man
was chewing on some chilicopenas, and the
tears were coming into his eyes also.
"And phwat are ye cryin' about? asked
Pat.
"Sure, Pm cryin to think that your mother
didn't die before you were born. Weekly

ter in the Tallahassee F2oridian says: ut
may be matter of interest to your many
readers to know how to produce the seed
less watermelon. AS soon as the vine has
attained the length Of three feet or more,
place under it, about midway the vine,
the amount of compost you would put in
hill, to do which it is best to excavate the
earth, and bring to level with good COM
post. Place the vine over this, and cover
to sufficient depth to prevent drying, leav-
ing out as much as possible of the bud. AS
soon as it has taken root cut it loose from
the parent stem. If there should be bloom,
or bloom bud, before it takes root, in the
place of seeds there will be white pulps,
but none afterwards"

pa~ That sheep will improve the fertility
of your soil may be very easily demonstrated
by yarding them few nights in sIn spring or or
knols that may be found in most of your
pastures, those places where the grass grows
weakly and where sorrel grows. Sow clo-
yer, timothy or bluegrass seed thickly, and
then by light, portable fence confine your
flock of sheep for a few nights on these
places, and you will soon realize that by a
little attention, and not very much labor,
your soil will improve in fertility, and that
your sheep, with a liberal use of clover and
grass seed and plaster, may be made the
best and the cheapest fertilizing agents you
can employ, particularly on fields most
remote from your barns.

EXCEPT in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
the Republican pluralities are greatly
reduced as compared with 1880. Some
of the States that were Republican then
are Democratic now. Garfield was
elected by a majority of 50 of the elec-
toral votes and plurality of 7,0lS of
the popular vote. Cleveland with q
majority Of Is of the electoral votes will
have clear majority of the popular
vote. The majorities in the Democratic
States are not likely to fall below those
given for Hancock. There is little
doubt that the votes for Cleveland and
Hendricks will exceed the total cast for
Blaine, Butler and st. John combined
and constitute a plurality of 100000 to
100000 This result indicates that the
people of the whole country as mass,
as well as the states individually, are
drifting away from the Republican par

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Presi-
dent has issued the following procla-
nation:
As the season j. nigh when it is year
ly the won't nf this people 10 observe a
day appointed for this purpose by the
President ~ an esperial occasion for

such day of general thanksgiving,

THE people have determined that
Grover Cleveland shall be President of
the United States. They have so de-
cided, not because they like Cleveland,
but because they believe he will be safer
than Blaine. They have done it reso-
lutely, deliberately, knowing all about
both men. Thanks to the presson both
sides, religious and political, the con-
trolling facts in the character and his
tory of each have been pretty clearly
brought before the public eye, so that
the popular judgment in the case may
be described as intelligent and we'll
considered. The people have voted,
and their voting is to be respected

THE LATEST.
No Further Doubt of the Election of
Cleveland and Hendricks.

The Board of County Canvassers in
New York commenced their work of
canvassing the vote on Tuesday. Up
to the hour Of going To press over half
of the State had been heard from, but
no material change was made in the
figures already given, or if any they
were in favor of Cleveland. New York
has given Cleveland and Hendricks q
plurality ofsone 800, and there is now
no further doubt about the official
count reversing the decision. 1t will
be the aim of the Republican bosses to
delay the final announcement of the re-
suit as long as they can, with the hope
of defeating the will of the people 10y
manipulating returns or stealing them
outright. But this hope cannot be
reaiZcd for all eyes, both Democratic
and Republican, are upon them, and
the State of New York will be given to
Cleveland and Hendricks, to whom it
rightfully belongs. And thus the coun-
try is saved the black stain which would
have been placed upon it had Blaine,
the convicted liar and trickster, been
triumphant. 1t is indeed fit time for
Democrats and lovers of pure govern
meut to rejoice.

THE bitterness engendered during the
recent campaign, together with the un-
settled condition of business resulting
from political excitement, has done
much to bring the people to realizing
sense of the too frequent recurrence of
elections in this country. Extend the
Presidential term to six or even eight
years and this unstable condition of af-
fairs will, to a great extent, be obviated.

Great Indignation at New Lots.

New YORK, Nov. 10.-The statement
by b. +. Jones, of the Republican ma
tional committee, that there were 1000
coloniZcd votes in the town of New
Lot3, n Suhyrh nf BROOKLYN, and that
I'D more votes were pnlled in the
saN}r town illan were registered, is
ca';>irg much in!iSm:iun among the
New l."'S l;enu,'j".,N election officers.
SupcrTjnlr "cWell, II prominent Re-
publican Of New Lots, said to n reporter
of the SUI yesterday: 1.-The statement
of Chairman Jones is simply preposter-
Gus. | do not believe half Il dozen
Irregular votes were east. IL fact, | do
not know Of one, nor do I know any
body else, except Chairman Jones, who
says that there was one. Instead of
there being 700 more votes cast than
were registered there were just III more
registered than were cast, and many
voters neither registered nor voted.
such statements as that of Jones are
most injudicious and unjust. They
tend to create public uneasiness and dis
trust, and are a reflection upon COM
munities which never should be made
without at least some basis of fact. I
am Republican, and Il strong one, and
am not likely to be speaking from
pro-De'nocratic prejudices wben l say
