THE ELECTIONS.

THE ELECTIONS.
Elections were held in the different
states on Tuesday with varied results.
In New Hampshire the people failed
to elect a governor, and that duty
will fall to republican legislature
who will also elect United States
Senator to complete the term of the
late Hon. A. F. Pike. The repub-
licans reelected Gallinger of Concord
to Congress. In Massachusetts the
republicans elected their candidates
for governor and with them the re-
mainder of the state officers. The
executive council will continue to
stand Z republicans to l democrat,
and both branches of legislature will
be largely republican. In the Con-
gressional districts there was some
surprise at the result. Henry Cabot
Lodge was elected over Lowering, the
democratic congressman. Gen.
Coggeswell, Rep, was elected, but
Mr.. Ranney and Mr.. Rice in the third
and tenth districts were defeated. In
New York city Mr.. Hewitt, the dem
ocratic candidate for mayor, was
elected by large majority, but it is
believed that four congressman have
been gained by the republicans and
that the next congress will be Fl re-
publicans to Is democrats, the pres
ent congress being II to IL. Con-
necticut fails to elect governor by
the popular vote, but the Legislature
is republican-thus securing the cleo
ton of republican state officers and
United States senator. In Pennsyl-
vania, the congressional delegation
will stand as now-nineteen repub-
licans and ten opposition. The leg
islature is republican. In Ohio the
republicans have made large gains,
on the state vote, and gained three OIL
four congressman. Virginia gave
the country surprise party. Of the
ten districts, the republicans have
carried six, the democrats three and
labor party one. In North Carolina
the republicans have probably elect
ed three congressman and made large
gains in the Legislature. Even in
bourbon Kentucky, the republicans
have elected three congressman and
Speaker Carlisle came within sixty
four votes of being defeated. Ten
nessee elects two republican congress
men. liz New Jersey the democratic
state ticket is elected, but the repub
licans elect five of the seven congress
men. The Legislature is probabl,
democratic which insures a democrat
ic United States senator. In Yves
Virginia the result is in doubt, bu
the republicans have made gains
Kansas elects the republican stat
ticket by $4,000 majority, six repub
lican congressman and one independ

Rusk by $4,000 plurality and a re

publicans to one democrat, with on

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of a severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica and relief comes, it seems as
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great Joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
Great Falls, N. H., March %, 1886.
Some twenty-five years ago while in the
Z. S. Navy, quartered at New Orleans, |
like many other sailors, by constant ex-
posture became afflicted with an attack of
rheumatism, for which | was treated by
the doctors with all sorts of medicines,
liniments, etc, but no matter what | did
take the relief was for a few moments only,
and the pain, that terrible pain, came on
me again worse than ever. Why the pain
was so sharp and sudden as to almost fell
me to the ground as though | had been
struck on the head. / continued in this
condition for years, one week In every
four | was confined to the house one day
hobbling around when friend who had
been cured of rheumatism by Athlophoros
asked me why did not give the medicine
trial, had taken SO much medicine
and got no better ! felt sure there was
nothing to cure rheumatism, but thought
again il could do me no harm and SO
bought bottle. The very first dose of Ath-
lophoros took hold of me in such a way |
knew it would do me good. continued
until two bottles were used, and my rheu-
matisnl of SO many years standing, that
everything failed to touch, was at last gone,

since. tell you Athlophoros will do the

cIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR
Washington, Nov. Ist

Washington, NoU. Ist.
There are no sensations here this
week. The congressional districts
have monopolized them for the time.
Washington is about the only city in
the United States which does not re-
sound just now with battle yells and
wild huzzahs. The noise of the FRAY
does not reach it. The streets are
silent and one can sally forth on bus
mess or pleasure without being over.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A bill has been introduced in the
House for state aid to disabled SOL
diers, while the Senate has added an
other $40, 900 to be used in the cree
ton of Soldiers Home, making in
all $40, 900, no part of which has yet
been expended.
Bills of different characters contin-
lie to be presented, but it would seem
that the number this year will prove
less than in preceding legislatures.
Adjournment is looked for about Nov.
25.
The past week was a notable one
at the capital. Besides the busy
work of the legislature, there were
reunions of the VT. Cavalry, the 9Th
VT. Regt. land of the Vt. Officers So
ciety, and also an attendance of la
dies, such as have rarely been seen
at the capital. Mrs. Gov. Ormsbee
assisted by Mrs. Elk. Gov. Smith and
other ladies', held a reception at the
the governors room Tuesday even
ing, when hundreds of ladies had op.
portunity to greet each other and
enjoy a pleasant interview with the
wives of those noted in our little
state. 1t is discovered that Vernon
ladies are all beautiful and agreeable

tiers of those in the common walks O
life, or those temporarily exalted b,

We hope that such gatherings will
seem rather to prove equality than t.
afford opportunity for a few to APP

The reunions were well attended

Thirteen Persons Burned Alive in
Blazing Car.
A terrible railroad accident occurred the
other night at East Rio, Wis, thirteen miles
from Portage. The limite1 passenger
train ON the Chicago. Milwaukee and

at 10 p. NJ, was deraiied at East Rio and
thrown into an old ston, quarry. The engine

quarry. The engine left the track,
ran a short distance, and brought up
against the side of the cut and then toppled
over. The baggage cur and the coaches
followed. while for sleepers kept the
rails. The engine and the cars that
went off the track were badly smashed,
and soon took fire froln the stoves. Engineer

Scattered by a Bugle Call.

"There were some of your people,
said an ex-Confedcrate, who made a
bucle talk. There was one bugler with
a cavalry regiment of sherman's advance
column that had way Of making his
bugle give an eXultaut whoop after he
would give the regular call or order, and
we of the rear guard on the other side
heard that so often that it became as IA
mlliar almost as q cradle song. On one
occasion in 1864 lot of us entered a
stalwart Confederate neighborhood. We
mad been there before and had found
everybody enthusiastic in our support.
When we came in this time the grocery
keeper treated US little coolly. Each
of US had from $4,000 to $50, 600 in
Confederate money, and we decided to
make good many purchases.
1--WE bought freely, but when we came
to pay for the ait cIes the old gentleman
informed us that he would take nothing
but gold, silver or greenbacks. This was
good evidence to US that the Confedcracy
was on its last legs. We tried to argue
the old fellow out of it, b 1t it was always
gold, silver or greenbacks. We retired
for consultation, and finally determined
to pronounced him traitor to the cause
and confscate all his things. We an
nounced our purpose to him, and offered
to make payment at high price in Con-
fedcrate money for what we appro-
rriated.
ellis reply was that he would take
nothing but gold, silver or greenbacks,
and we proceeded to contscate. We
found under the floor of his grocery sur
face indications of a buried treasure, and
digging down we uncarthed quite a NUN.

whoop I speak of. We dropped our

Nutriment in Food.

Fat pork contains q large amount Of
nutriment.
Butter las eighty and half per
cent. of nutritive matter. The pseudo
butter, oleomargarine, has about the
same value in this matter, when pure.
In pint of milk and pint of oysters
tn re is the same amount of nItriment,
although the oysters contain moro pro-
teine and the milk more f.t. Cheese
contains large amount of nutrition.
Fish is less nutritive than meats, but
five pounds of nutritive being obtained
from 100 pound' of material. 1t usually
contains about five per cent. Salt mack.
erel is among the most nutritive and
founder is one of the poorest.
The breads representing the carbohy-
drate; contain about thirthy-three or
thirty-fve per cent. Of water, -four from
nine to thrice per cent, corn and maize

GYnsY Attire.

Their usual attire is that of the "old
clothes man." There is nothing to dis
tinguish them by their dress, which is
made up of any kind of wearing apparel
that may have come into their possession.
The women and girls, while dressing in
linen, calico or heavy jeans, frequently
adorn themselves with bright colorcd
ribbon or two, cheap tawdry Jewclry, and
have their h. ad euveloped in bandanna.
In some rich communities OF gypsies in
the nited States, notably at and near
Dayton, Ohio, they assume the conven-
tional dress and styl of the day. These
nomads in various paris of Europe natur-
ally follow the costumes of the people
among whom or with whom they are liv-
ing, but there is no poetry, no romance
in the squalid, filthy apparel of the YER
liable gypsy. The gypsy of the stage is
usually attired like an Italian or Spanish
brigand, with short cutaway jacket,
founced shirt, velvet knee b:eeches, silk
stockinrs, pumps, three corncrcd hat
or q mixture of the turban, his dress
sparkling with go d braid, precious stones
and Lake Erie diamonds. The gypsy
maiden of the same romantic connection
has a tlc2cy white d ess or robes of trail
ing satin, with bit of ruche and price
lnss pearl at her throat and mantilla
thrown about her raven tresscs the style
of dancing or flower girl of Southern
Europe. Only dazzling brunette, with
flashing black eyes, could successfully
personate gypsy, as the race arc uni
versally very dark complcxioned, owing
principally to the result of their natural
aversion to soap and water.-.San Fran
