COUNTING THE VOTES.

The Congressional Galleries FILLED to
watch the Proceeding.
WASHINGTON, February l2.-Although
the counting of the electoral vote was not
booked to begin until II o'clock, there was
a crowd in the lobbies of the galleries Of the
House before 10 O'Clock, waiting for the
doors to be opened. At 1915 the galleries
reserved for members were opened, and
those having tickets rushed in, comfortably
filing the seats and leaving at least 800
ticket holders to eome-S0O having
been issned for about 800
seats. Fifteen minutes later the
public galleries were thrown open, and in
less than ten minutes they were eompisteiT
hacked. Except during the famous elec-
toral count of 1876, the count has always
beeu a mere matter of clerical work, the
Vice President announcing the vote Of each
State. and the tellers putting down the hg-
ures in the proper column on sheet pre-
pared for the purpose; at the close the Vice
President announcing the result, according
10 the known resolt, rather than BY the fg-
ures Of the tellers. At the last count .here
we're two teIlers for the Senate, and tSo
for the House Of Representatives, and an

countenance Of Coco, Pierre Labrich.
on pet baboon!
Strange things happened next morn.
Ing when the police, notified by JACQUES
belmont, OF the curious and start.
ing events OF the preceding night,
made another search of the premises.
ms time their attention was turned to
tire large cage which had been occupied
by Coco. Pulling aside the heap OF
hay i'm the corner. the first thing found
was the missing battle hammer,
stained with clots of blood and a few
locks of the old mans white hair cling
ing to 1t. Then the now thoroughly
astonished officials discovered several
articles OF bric-a-brac, and, to crown
all, sum of money, amounting to OK
actly $50 francs.
The news spread through Paris like
wildfre, and jacques belmont was the
hero of the hour. A reprieve was OBJ
tanned for Jules RoIceau. and the vola-
tile Parisians, who only the day before
had cursed Jules as monster, now
regarded him as martyr, whose life
had been saved by a miracle. The
mystery was entirely cleared away q
week after when Portuguese sailor
entered the office of the Commissary of
Police and made the following state
ment: 1t was he who sold the baboon
to Pierre Labrichon. The animal had
been an arrant thief while on shipboard
and had frequently stolen from the
sailors. Among two of the latter a
feud had arisen, and one night one of
them had murdered the other by beat
ing out his brains with one of the ships
hammers. Coco had witnessed the
murder, and often afterward had re-
peated the actions of the murderer to
the edification of the sailors.
This statement was fully CORRIDOR
ated by the officers of the ship, and it
was evident that Pierre Labrichon had
been killed. and that all the missing
articles and money had been stolen
and concealed by the brute. Jules
Ronceau was declared innocent. Good
fortune awaited him after the terrible
ordeal through which he had passed,
for, by the will of the murdered man,
the entire business of the curiosity shop
was bequeathed to him.
As for Coco, they killed him. and his
body, nicely stuffed and holding the
fatal battle hammer, is one of the curl
osities in. the museum.-M y Dis

A Problem Solved.

A plan has been adopted in the town
of Shrewsbury, England, for the utiliz
alton of sewage, the success Of which
is said to be perfect. As the sewag'
enters the works, clay, charcoal ant
blood are added as deodorizers, and
after thorough mixing, a solution o.
sulphate of alumina Is added, by which
the dissolved and suspended impurities
are quickly precipitated in one or the
other of the settling tanks, from the
fourth of which the water runs with.
out further treatment into the river.

AS THEY LOOK OUT TO SEA.

That looked out toward the sea. Tho race
Was worn and scanned with care ret calm
and still,
Like one whose work is done.
The others face was young and fresh and
fair
And yet within her heart there seemed to
Some sorrow, giving her pensive ala,
AS she looked out 20 sea.
They looked not at tho wind-blown flowers
About their feet, but followed with their
eyes
A stately vessel sailing on hor way.
Where pillows fall and rise.
The maiden, though her face bespoke her
- parting from her lover, yet seemed fain
Y her sorrow with the fond belief
they would meet again.
Novso the other, for her trembling lip
Told that she thought that she had lost her
son;
That ere again those waters knew his ship,
Her lifes voyage would be done.
They waived their kerchlefs, thinking they
An answering signal from the vessels

Then watched the ship until il seemed TO be
Only distant speck.
They watched it out OF sight, then turned
away
With heavy steps and heavier hearts, and
hands
Locked in each others, while the twilight
gray
Settled upon the lands.
And as they slowly took their homeward
path,
From either heart went up silent prayer
That Heaven would arrest the tempest's
wrath,
And one dear sailor spare.
o, ship! receding twixt the waves and skies,
Swift be thy going, swift thy coming be;
Gladdenning his mothers and his sweet

Milking a Left-handed Cow.

A clever lady, now living in the
Cove, was once caught in the wrong,
yet extricated herself gracefully.
She was trying to milk her first COW,
her husbands gift, and in her ignor-
ance had stationed herself on the left.
1t was near the public road. A man
riding by stopped at the novel sight
and blurted out: Madam, you are
on the wrong side of that cow" 1t
was news to her, but her ready mother
wit came to her aid. Eyes, sir" was
her pleasant reply,'"but this isn't a
common COW. She was raised by a

his purpose to his superior officer, he

would remain unsolvcd. AS he had

bell of Notre Dame changed out the
hour of midnight. With the last stroke
the watcher was startled by rustling

he was on the alert, and arose noise
lessly from the bench upon which he
had been seated. The moon had gone
under cloud, and the rooms beyond
were in partial darkness. 1t was not
so dark, however. but Belmont could

Their Fighting Capacity

The following figures are furnished in
regard to the Comparative military and
naval strength Of England, and Russia:
Great Britain's standing army is only
182, 600 men against Russia's 10000 =,
and her army, when on war footing,
642, 900, against Russia 50, 500, 600, when
on a war footing. England pays $780,
600, 600 q year for her army, against
Russia's 1925, 100000. And yet Great
Britain s army costs 50. 81 for each head
of her population, while Russia's costs
her only 1927 per inhabitant. Even if
Great Britain takes into account her In
dia contingent THE army Of the British
India is 10000, and on q war foot
ing 36O,OO0] the total would be, in either
case, less than half Of Russia's force.
Russia has the largest standing army
of the world-780 600. Italy comes next
with T5O, 900; France next with $50, 600 /;
Germany next with $4,000; China next
with 500, 600; Austria and Hungary next
with 283, 600; British India next with
100, 600; Great Britain next with 182, 600.
Russia's navy has 373 vessels, that of
France 302, Great Britain s 247, though
it is proper to add that Great Britain s
navy costs about three times as much
as that of Russia, and can no doubt
knock the latter out Of water or to the
bottom of the water by superior naval
skill and gannery. England has the
sssinews Of war; while Russia is practi-
cally bankrupt EmpOria Republican.

II. General LaWtOn Is trying 10 60 to
Russia with his disabilities under the
fourteenth amendment, and Andrew
JOhnsOn's pardon in his pocket. The
new Secretary of State tells him that
Andrew Johnson pardOned him for
his treason and therefore the four
UeenEh amendment does not affect
him. Mr.. Bayard knows that And
rev Johnson pardOned perhaps 1000
just as he did Gen. LaWtOn; and yet,
unless they got their disabilities re
moved by Congress, the pardon was
not legally sufficient to cover the Of
fence. The president was much en-
cOuraged by the support the Republi-
can Senators gave him in making ap-
pOlnUmenUs at the extra session. HOW
TAR this support was BASED on the be-
lief that his course would strengthen
the republican party, and that it was
the best way 70 build it up, is a ques-
ton about which opinions differ. 1t
is only fair to assume that the repub-
Hcans will work for their own party,
and that they viii favor what will
tend to divide the democrats. The re-
publicans are watching Mr.. Cleveland
and the course of his administration
with Intense interest, and on the
whole they are pretty happy people.
Ihere have been no important ap-
pOlnUments during the week, and no
incidents Of note have occurred in de-
partment matters. The special inves-
legation commission of the Treasury
is hard at work day and night with
its heavy task, the outcome of which
Is awaited with great interest. 1t is
still engaged with the internal rev
enue bureau, which opens a particu-
larry broad field for inspection.
Secretary Manning has Just return ed
from an investigating tour to the En-
pire State. his OstensibIe business
there was of a strictly private charac-
ter, but his alleged business was to
take counsel of the wise men of his
party, and manipulate the popular
pulse with a view of ascertaining how
fast and how far the administration
can safely go in the way of making
places for democrats who hunger for
the flesh pots. President Cleveland's
recognition of civil service principles
is well nigh intOlerable to the SeCre-
tary of the Treasury.
