THE RECoUNT-As stated in yesterday s
GAZETTE. at the reques; of Auditor F. L.
Brockett, the democratic committee ordered
q recount of the vote cast for Auditor at the
urinary election on Tuesday last The re-
count took place this morning at room in
the Market building in the presence of the
three candidates, the judges of election and
the committee. All the ballots were care
fully gone over, and the result showed that
in the first ward Mr.. Price was entitled to
one more vote than had been given him,
and in the Third ward Mr.. Brockett had
gained one-making an offset, and leaving
Mr. Prices majority of Is unchanged. The
errors were evidently made by family
scratched tickets that could pot be seen by
lamp light-the light used on the night Of
the first count. After the result was an
nounced, Mr.. Brockett stated that it hav
ing been rumored on the street that he
would be an independent candidate, he
wished TO say that the report was entirely
unfounded, and that he had no such inten-
ton He furthermore very cordially in
vited Mr. Price to the Auditors Office before
tbs latter assumed the duties, and said he
would gladly educate him, so that the cor
pJratiou affairs would not suffer by change
IN the occupancy of the Office. The utmost
good feeling prevailed during the recount.
and all present were glad that it had been
ordered. At the request of Mr.. Brockett,
who said he bad few matters to bring be-
fore them, the members of the democratic
committee will hold meeting tonight.

Nervous excitement will uuquestionably
do wonders. Not long ago man who was
suddenly seized with dclirium in one of the
London hospitals leaped up and began
slashing at the patients in the beds all
around him with knife. One patient, who
had been lying helpless for days under
stroke of paralysis, as it was believed: got
so frightened that he recovered the use of
his legs aud bounded down stairs with most
gratifying agility.

week to lecture for the benefit Of Il Roman
Catholic church, "wilhout money and with.

OPERA HOUSE To. N1GHT-Miss Jennie
Calef, supported by an excellent company,
will appear at the Opera House to night in
the role of Little Muffets." She comes
highly recommended, both by press and
public, generally. AS the prices of admis-
sion are low we predict for Miss Calef a
large audience. The following is from the
Washington Star: "'Little Mutlets,' by
Miss Jennie Caef and her excellent COM
pany, at Herzog's, last evening, was wit
messed by a crowd of amused and interested
beings. Miss Calef is charming little
actress, and possesses that influence that
can move the audience to merriment or
tears at will. Little Mufets' is good play,
and is the subject of deep laid plot"

A recent news paragraph stated that ''Mr
David Bruce, 80 years old, fell in front OF
his residence in Williamsburg, N. Y, anG
broke his leg. Seven years ago Mr. Bruce
broke the other leg in the same manner" II
was brief notice, but it refers to the inven
tor of the type casting machine, one of the
very valuable inventions of the present cen
tury. Valuable not only from the fact thai
it is one Of the aids in the distribution of in.
telligence, but it is one of the very few inven.
tions that, producing a better and cheaper
ut Gle, has resulted in increasing the work
ans wages and rendered their occupation
more healthful.
The history of the progress of typ
raking from the time it was found
that type could be cast until Mr..
Bruce gave his attention to the matter
was constant endeavor in the wrong direc
ton. 1t was perfectly natural to suppose
that if type could be cast singly it would be
expediting matters to casta number at a time
and simply saw them apart. Yet this is just
what for half century inventors were striv.
ing to do with no success. Just why this is
impracticable would require too much space
to state But David Bruce, early recogniz
ing the difficulties of casting in quantity
gave bis whole energy for years to the con.
struction of a machine that would cut singly
a perfect type, and the result was that in
1888 he patented the

planks and died.
II divided the long wing bones
among the crew. and they all made
pipe-stems of them. They are hollow,
iesh-colored. and very light, and that
is the reason the man-o'- war bird can
fly so long. 1t is forever on the wing,
and only goes ashore on some uninha6-
tied island at breeding-time. Sailors
think they sleep flying, that is, some
of them tnink so but | believe they
sleep floating on tire water. when it is
calm enough-which is not often about
the Cape of Good Hope, or else never
sleep at all. They are the biggest
birds that live anywhere. The one
caught weighed twenty-nine pounds,
and measured seventeen feet from wing
tip to wing tip, and he was not at all
large one. No, we had no i'll luck after
the birds death. II you shoot one and
kill him you may look out for squalls,
but to catch him with piece of fat
pork and let him die on deck is q diff
ferent thing altogether, YOU know"

The appointment of Mr.. Lothrop to the
important diplomatic post OF minister to
Russia is well-deserved tribute to ono of
the most conscientious lawyers Of the great
northwest, and at present one of the leaders
of the Michigan bar He was born In Mas-
sachusetts about 81 years ago, and was
graduated from Brown university and the
Harvard Law school. Among his clas ,mates
in the law school were William NJ. Evarts,
E. lockwood Hoar, James Russell Lowell
and W. W. Story. Mr.. Lothrop settled in
Detroit in 1874, where he has since followed
his professio He was attorney general
Of the state in 1854, but never held other
political office. He is a lifelong Demo-
crat. In 1860 he was delegate to
the National convention at Charles
ton, and in the split of the party he followed
the lead of Douglas. He was strong Union
man during the war. Mr.. Lothrop is over
six feet tall and is slightly bald, and has
gray hair and beard. He is man of polished
manners and courtly in his bearing. Presi-
dent Cleveland first met Mr.. Lothrop in
Buffalo after the election, and was much
pleased with him
Mr.. Lothrop's home is in Detroit. He has a
large family and property worth a million.
An instance of his scrupulous honesty is told,
that when son Of his was prominently
mentioned in connection with the commits
sionership Of patents, the father wrote to
President Cleveland informing him that his
son was an attorney and as a lawyer had
become interested in matters pending at the
patent office, and for this reason he thought
tine appointment should not be made.

Catching u Man-O'-War Bird.

An old sailor, whose appearance in
dicated that he had been much buffeted
by wind and wave, stood yesterday
resting his back against mooring-
post near bulkhead in South street,
and, despite the raw atmosphere, med
itatively smoking. The glowing bowl
of his pipe rested on the top of bar
rel some distance away, and the stem
was fully four feet long. Itwas very
thin, and seemed to be bone. Its hue
was a bright, glossy black, though
what its original color had been the
sailor had to say. 1t curved with a
long, graceful, uniform sweep from the
mariners lips to the bowl.
''It's the wing bone of a man-o'-war
bird said the owner when asked
about it, ''Land folks, l believe, call
them albatrosses; we sailors like the
old name of man-o war bird better.
| caught the one that l got this stem
from about five hundred miles south of
the Cape of Good Hope. hooked him
with piece of raw fat pork tied to the
end of rope lanyard. 1t was blowing
half a gale of wind, and the man-o' war
birds were out enjoying it as usual.
"They just touch the top of wave
with their feet, and then give sharp,
quick cry and 60 driving on hundred
yards or so before they take another
plunge. l got big lump of fat pork
at the galley, and let it tow overheard
with the lanyard. about fifty yards
astern of the ship. One of the birds
saw it, and had swallowed it in min
ute, and we began to haul him. My
stars! but he gave us job. 1t took
five of us to get him on deck. and then,
of all the unwieldy birds you ever saw
he was the worst. A goose would
have been graceful to him, and he did
not seem a bit like the beautiful white
birds of his kind that were sweeping
about the ship, now ahead and now
astern, sailing against the wind or with
it just about the same rate of speed,
and seeming to be part of the gale.
'.My prisoner squatted down on the
deck and began to cry. There was no
doubt about it. He sobbed and whim-
pered like hurt child. and the tears
ran down his long hooked beak and
dropped off the knob at the end. After
time he became seasick. But his ILL
ness did not cease there. He got more
and more sick every minute as the ves-
sell rolled and pitched in the heavy sea
that was running. 1t was genuine sea-
sickness. This seems curious with
bird that lives altogether on the water,
but a man-o'-war bird always gets sea-
sick when he is taken on the deck of a
rolling ship. would have saved him
If could. but if 1 had thrown him
overheard he would have been swamped
by the big seas before he could have
used his long wings. Neither could he
rise from the deck, and in about two
hours he laid his head down on the
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-06-04
Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician is q hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely nom-
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use Of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list ofmedicines. he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
ILLS Of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
n. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit l received from the use of your
medicines, PERuNA and MANALrN.
One bottle Of each placed me square on

which confined me to my bed, and then

am feeling quite well. The people say
your PKRUNA and MANALIN are doing

opium as did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes al have used your PERUNA and
MANALIN with good results. In the year
of 1880 was so bad that could scarcely
walk. I used PERuNA and MANALIN,
and am now as healthy as l have ever
been. l have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. H. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes: "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared to get but little better.
Hearing Of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her a great
deal of good the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it a success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her."
