The defeat of Hon. l. Il. Nichols in
Cumberland county by the Prohibition
lists was simply an outrage, and will,
we believe, be an actual back-set to
the cause of temperance in this State;
for during his legislative career Mr..
Nichols has not only ably advocated
and voted for temperance measures,
but he was instrumental in having the
temperance plank inserted in the Re
publican platform. So much for being
straightforward advocate of tenn

The warfare upon birds for the pur-
pose of decorating the hats and other
head gear of womankind has attained
disastrous proportions. A single firm
in New York had on hand in February
of this year no fewer than 100000 bird
skins. From one district on Long
Island about 10000 birds were sent to
the New York milliners during four
months. A single collector brought
back from three months trip 11,000
skins. The great European markets
also draw largely upon this country
for their supply, one New York firm
having recently filled an order of 49,
900 birds to Paris firm. These are
pregnant facts, and the wonder is that
the women of the land have not long
since sacrificed their desire for per-
sonal adornment to the extent of re-
fusing to wear birds that are slaugh-
tered so remorselessly. The silent
hedges and the deserted fields, once
vocal with the song of the bright
plumaged creatures, plead to them.

The campaign just closed found the country
in the trough of the political waves. The Re
publican managers have madethe best struggle
they could against state of general apathy.
In a few States they have been aided by the
inspiring presence of great leader, whose
speeches have awakened almost the only inthu-
siasm anywhere shown, The result OF the
campaign is CRAFTY ing; its gains are an ln-
spiration; the Democratic losses are, plain
guide to the popular drift. From this time
forward the country will feel the lift Of the ad
vancing wave of 1883. which, if we will do our
duty, will sweep out from Washington the mas
queraders now in possession, the foes of pro
lection, equality and patriotic government. 1t
is now the duty OF all earnest and experienced
workers to bend their energies toward united
and heavy work for 1888. The party is TO be

John Dewberry, a saloon keeper, OF
Louisville, KY, died in August last.
His saloon was sold in the settlement
of the estate. Mrs. Dewberry has
been living in another part of the city.
Tuesday morning she entered the sa-
loon and asked the man behind the
bar counter for permission to visit the
back yard. She then passed through
rear. Going to one corner she scraped
the dust away with her hand, and
from under a piece of sheet iron drew
forth small bag She then told the
saloon keeper that for some time she
had been dreaming of lost money, and
on Monday night she was awakened
from her slumbers by hearing her
name called. She recognized the voice
as that of her husband. She opened
her eyes and beheld his familiar fea-
lures. He told her of the hiding of
this money, which he had been pre-
vented from revealing to her in the
flesh because of delirium. He then
vanished Mrs. Dewberry, on finishing
her story, handed to the saloon keeper
small bag, and asked him to examine
the contents, as her nerves were too
much unstrung for her to do anything.
He did as directed, and found in the
bag twelve twenty dollar gold pieces.

THE RICHEST MAN.

John Jacob Astor, of New York city,
is the wealthiest man in the world.
He is sixty years of age. and. barring
an attack of the gout now and then,
is in excellent health. Mr.. Astor is
very slightly interested in stock com
panies: the Western Union Telegraph,
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad, the Chemical Bank and
a few other concerns; the overwhelm-
ing bulk of his property is in real
estate on Manhattan Island or just
across the Harlem in the annexed dis
trict. More than half of this in value
is South of Chambers Street, or in a
district just mile long on its longest
diameter. In it is the Astor House,
modestly estimated at &2,000,000, and
numerous blocks of buildings along
Broadway and Wall Street. This part
of his property pays at least 10 per
cent. per annum, and its value varies
only slightly from year to year. 1t is
from the vast tracts of land in the
Northern part of the city that the in
crease to his wealth comes. He is
constantly putting aside what he can
spare from his rent receipts for the
purpose of investing in more land. 1t
is said on good authority that a sum
amounting to $4,000, 900 in cash is kept
on deposit in trust companies to be
applied to new purchases whenever a
good bargain is secured
A striking feature of his wealth is
that most of it is uninsured. There is
so much of it that the occasional total
loss Of house or two or an entire
block amounts to less than the prem
iums to be paid annually upon the
whole A safe estimate of John Jacob
Astor's wealth to-day is $50, 000 900.
When Peter Cooper was alive he esti-
mated the property at $4,000 900, and
the silent increase, without the new
investments, would bring the figures
up to $150,000,000 and over by this
time.

declared on Monday that Jones, Re-
publican, had majority of four, tfrere
was another count Tuesday, when it
was discovered that Jones had 1888,
and Walter, Democrat, 2,2S3, a tie.
Counsel for Walter at once declared
that an error existed in the I'd precinct
of the First ward, and that he was en-
titled to two more votes. Chief Justice
Beasley then ordered another recount
to take place to-day There is great
excitement in Trenton over the situa-
ton.

Mr.. HAWKINS CASE SETTLED.

The re-counting of the votes of the
Second Assembly District which com
menced Tuesday morning and was
still in progress at the time of our going
to press, was concluded in the evening
about half-past five.
Judge Alfred Reed presided and
counted the votes as they were taken
from the ballot box VIM E. Pot
ter, of this city, and James Fl. Nixon,
of Millville, represented Mr.. Hawkins,
the Republican, while Jas. r f1oag-
land acted as counsel for Madden, the
Democratic contestant. Judge Reed ap-
pointed Judge Hampton, Clerk God
frey. L. Vannaman and Geo P. Capen.
as tally keepers.
The Second ward OF Millvlle was
counted first, and no change was showa
from the official count. In the First
ward a change of one vote was.shown
to be the loss of Madden. The figures
of the official board being, Hawkins,
$50; Madden, 1856; the recount making
Aadden's figures 1S5. In the Third
ward a loss of two votes for Hawkins
was found. A loss of four votes for
Hawkins was found in the Fourth
ward, the count vote being Hawkins
1877: Madden, 101
After an adjournment from ONE
o'clock 20 two, the re-counting was
again proceeded with, commencing
with Lands, First precinct. Here Mad
den lost one vote. The re-counting OF
the Second precinct made Hawkins
lose five votes In the Third precinct
Hawkins vote was 255, two more than
the official board gave him, and Mad
denis vote was found to be two short,
1872 instead of 1S4. In the Fourth pre-
cinct Hawkins gained one vote. his
vote being Go. Madden's vote remained
the same
The recount of the votes in the town
ships of Maurice River and Deerfield re-
suited in no change being found.
Thus the total change of Hawkins
vote reduced him six votes, leaving
him safe by plurality of seven. The
recount is as follows:
Millville-First ward, Hawkins. $50.
Madden, 1885,
Second ward, Hawkins, 1871; Madden.
11s.
Third ward, Hawkins, 1877; Madden,

Madden, 65.
Second precinct, Hawkins, 255; Mad

Third precinct, Hawkins, 255; Mad

| The recount was very tedious, yet
the large number present manifested
a great deal of interest and generally
they remained until the counting was
finished. The plurality of Hawkins

A singular fact in the vote of Con-
necticut is that the total vote fell off
14,612 when compared with that of two
years ago, and that this decrease is
divided almost exactly between the
two parties.

800, 900 died EN- route. Half million were
placed in the Columbia river at Wallula
Junction. and the remainder will be placed
in the Willamette at Albany tonight.
However. this was of trifiing consideration
as compared with another experiment which
will be of interest to science. An attempt
was made to hatch shad in the car while
Ell route, and was complete success. On
both the 9Th and It'll insts., 600, 600 eggs
were taken into the car at Havre DE Grace
and placed in four macdonald jars"
The pump was kept constantly at work
moving the water and keeping it fresh. and
the result was that fully 95 per cent of the
eggs were Matched. Fresh water was OBJ
tanned at every available point. OF the 5
per cent lost, most of it was due to pre-
mature birth All of the shad Matched will
be planted in the Willamette at Albany.
The experiment which ended to-day solves
