The New York World, in .n ar
ticle on the political situation,
says:
Although set down rs "debata-
ble." there is absolutely but slight,
it any dnnbt. that the Democrats
will carry Cvnnesticut, Indiana,
New Jersey aud New York. which,
with she l53 certain Democratic
electoral votes Of the Southern
States, will give Cleveland 2I9
votes. or Is more than II majority
OF the Electoral! College. But Of
the States classified us doubtful.
with about even chances, Cleveland
has Il fair prospect III Illinois, Ne
va''a and WISCONSIN. This would
add 80 to his vote, making the to-
tai 255, and leaving l46 votes for
Blaine. Necessary to II choice. 2Ol
votes.
But is it all certain that Blaine
will carry OHIO in November? In
the general election lie will be un-
able to concentrate money and per-
sonal exertion on that State, AS he
did in Tuesdays contest. It will
not be SO easy to make a co,nbina-
ton with the st. John Prohibitions
lists AS it was to bring about a fu-
sion with the State Prohibitiunists.
Many Republicans supported the
Republican State officers who will
refuse to vote for MIR. Blaine be-
cause OF his personal corrup,ions.
A change Of 5000 votes would
take Ohio out Of the Republican
column IN November.
California is more likely to re-
main Democratic than to turn back
to Republicanism. and Oregon will
follow in her wake. So it seems
probable that Blaine may be left
with about IA dozen States. after NIL.

An EASY CALCULATION At the
lowest. Il hen will lay twelve dozen
eggs yearly. which will bring now
a-days an average price of rs cents
per dozen. Consequently a good
lien will bring Its owner an annual
income Of three dollars. Sixteen
hens would, therefore, bring their
owner tue full value of bale of
cotton. One hundred and sixty
hens would bring the equivalent Of
ten bales; three hundred and tweu-
ty hens, twenty bales; six hun
dred and forty hens. the value of
forty bales vi cotton per annun.
The cotton grower who thinks he
is doing fine business when he
has raised forty bales of cotton
from eighty acres of land, can
easily calculate the cost of attend

tue cost OF raising the forty bales

RAILROAD TO CONVICTION.
New Orleans Picayupe)

| N.>C" oiACauS
Residents of st. Tammany par
ish aud other gentlemen have been
asitating the connection of the
New Orleans and Northeastern
Railroad with Covington. Judge
j. NJ. Thompson. a prominent citi-
zen of Covinyton. has prepared an
able document, settin: forth the
Importance Of the roaI. He states
that he does not expect the railroad
company to build the road ON ac-
count of philanthropy. The ques-
ton with It is, will the road pay?
He thinks it will. The freight
trade now carried on by the stenm-
boats and scLuuners amounts to
over $50, 900 annually. aud u rail-
road would obtain u large sLar. Of
this. The passenger traffic would
no doubt be- extensive. Covinyrou
is noted health resort. 1t is stu
ated III pine country, is very
healthy. never visited by malaria.
and is surrounded by springs with
valuable properties. With u road
which would enable it to bs reach
ed III two hours the travel there
would be- extensive. Even now
there is Il large number of New
Orleans families sojourn;ug ut Cow
ington and vicinity.
The road will run from Slidell to
Coyington, via Bonfonca, a distance
Of about twenty-eight miles. Tim
Der for cross-ties could be obtained
all along the road. during the pro-
gress Of its building. The country
Is not difficult to grade, aud the
streams to be crossed are few and
small. Judge Thompson thinks
that the road would pay a good in
terest ON the money expended in
coustI ucl:Ou.
MIR. Lionel z. Levy indorses the
communication, uuu Col. Geo. w.
