The Democratic State Ticket Carries
Nearly Every County.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. There was
so little opposition to the democratic state
and county ticket that there was little effort
to secure news. The republicans did not
have county tickets in half a dozen coun-
ties. and there were very few independent
tickets The local contests were between
democrats. The legislature is overwhelm-
ingly democratic in both branches, while
Gov. Seay and the democratic state ticket
carry nearly every county by considerable
majority.

Life Among the Sioux.

Last year at tho Pocahontas and Piute Patriarch balls young lady from the Un- compahgre agency, who was at the Standing Rock agency on visit in the home of her uncle, Puma -le-at-te- we wan -ke-ge-ke, or The-Early- Dwarf Cyclone-That Pulls Out Artesiap- W Wells-with- -His-Teeth, undertook to dress little differently from what the rules had been there, wearing on one occasion a complete costume of pink tulle, simply gath cred at the throat and falling to her feet being only caught back here and there by & nail or knot in the floor. Nothing like it had ever been heard of by the Sioux nation, and the beautiful young Utess. who had been at one time a Sabbath school scholar near Ouray, where she learned to Ouray for civil ization, bade fair to capture the entire Sioux tribe, so far as the young men were con- cerned.
 Sward McWalloper sent her note, written on an old piece of bark with pokeberry juice and a paint brush, in which by means of various Indian characters-charactersw which nobody need feel proud of, either-that he had learned from what he considered good authority that she had purchased the ma terial for her costume by selling berries which she had picked for that purpose.
 So she was ostraciZed.
 Costumes for autumn, both among Sioux
 
 dergone very little change.
 House slippers, consisting of one coffee sack for each foot held in place with wool twines, are growing ill favor. Knit underwear, trimmed with fur, makes a striking costume for street wear.
 Probably nothing at any evening gather ing so far has attracted more attention than the directoire costume of Sward New al loper, the social leader, at the select hurrall and feed held by the Messrs, and Mesdames Shacknasty Pete. He wore his hair roached behind and beaded ill front, while across his brow he wore the pelt of prairie dog.
 The balance of his costume consisted of 6 health corset with lambrequin of new mown hay around the base.

Crimes Committed by Series.

Another curious phenomenon revealed by French criminal statistics is that certain classes of crimes occur by series. We had not long ago a series of murders in which the victims were cocottes and just now are having a series of old women murders. There are those who say that each author Of an original crimo produces sort of hypnotism among the mass of criminals who appropri- ate and initiate his manner. This strange influence eXerted over temperaments which seem to have been predestined to commit crimes has nothing abnormal about it; its workings have been noticed ill persons who were perfectly honest. A year or so ago a lady was caught stealing in one of the large stores; her honesty was above question and her means wero ample enough to permit her to satify any caprice
 What she had stolen were little trihes of no great value, and she declared that as she was looking at the articles and on the point of speaking to the sa lesman whose back was turned, to ask their price, she perceived a handsomely dressed lady standing alongside of her who was hiding something under her cloak. Sho was about to denOunce the thief when the latter fixed her eyes on her in a strange, half commanding, half smiling way, and, completely fascinated, sheimitated her, followed her about, taking things whenever she did. Presently she lost sight of the wo- man in the crowd and at once came to her self with a start and was about to pay for the articles she had taken when she was arrested. In the room where she was searched shc re- cogniZed the woman whom she had been imi- tating and who, like her, had been watched and arrested. l am exceedingly skeptical on tho subject of magnetism, hypnotism and the other tricks with which jugglers are so fond of imposing on the public, but in case like the one just cited, where the lady's past was irreproachable and where the theft committed was insignificant, I am not inclined to doubt her assertion that she was acting under ar influence she was powerless to resist. Her excuse did not save her from prosecution ant she received a trifing sentence.-Henry Haynie in New Orleans Picayune.

Railway System in England.

The speed of the fastest English trains is greater than that of the quickest American trains. Probably the London and North western runs faster trains than any other company in tho world. In the height of the travel season it runs train between London and Edinburgh, 376 miles, in seven and three quarter hours, nearly fifty miles an hour for the entire run; part of the trip is done at the rate of mile minute The road is so well ballasted and the cars are so constructed that there is little jostlng, and the noise of the train in motion does not seriously interfere with conversation ln ordinary tones of voice. English trains make fast time partly because they never cross on level, nor are the road ways for vehicles drawn by horses ever built on 0 level with railroads. They either pass under the road or on a bridge or arch over the rails. There Is never any necessity ir England for the familiar sign in America Look out for the locomotive when the bel rings. n-Home Journal.

In public meeting, under the chairmanship of the Rev. MT. Noble, the local Free Kirk minister, it was resolved that ''pleasure sailing" and driving about in vehicles" were "a proclamation of the Sab bath, an offense and grief of the religious population, an annoyance and distraction of church going people on their way to and from the sanctuary, and general lowering of the moral tone of the'community." These resolutions were forwarded to the parties concerned.-New York Sum-

NERVES AND MOODS.
4 Complex System of fTe1egraphy-Causes
 of Bad Temper.

of Bad Temper
 Nothing ill nature is more marvellous than the network of nerves constituting what we sometimes carelessly call our nervous system. Each nerve is a telegraphic cord in itself Each is part of the whole complex and in imitable system of telegraphy by which mes sages from the headquarters in the brain are sent to the minute stations 1n the extrem1- ties. If this telegraphic system of nerves were erected on diminutive poles outside of our bodies, it would be most peculiar ex- hibit Happily for us, our nervous systems are, as it were, a harmonious arrangement of underground wires, carefully buried
 within us and deftly concealed from outside observation. We cannot see them nor know whether they are too slack or too tightly strained. We tell when they are dis | turbed, for neuralgia agony shoots along their course from station to station. When we are glum, and dismal, and low spirited the telegraphic apparatus is out of order and the nerve forces are demoralized.
 When nerves work wrong, it is as when telegraph poles are shaky or wires tangled or crossed, or currents irregular, or batteries confused. According to the irregularity of our nerves, so are our irregular moods. If all is right, we are happy and cheery and sunshiny But let the batteries blunder, or the currents cross, or the wires become en- tangled, and we are irritable, sulky, i'll tenn pered or angry, as the case may be. In some of our distressful moods we pout, and sulk, and misinterpret, and misunderstood. We take offense where no Offense is intended, and we impute to others motives which are never conceived by them. At times when the moods are out of sorts, we think the whole world is prosecuting us, and we, the afflicted objects of persecution, are, above all other human creatures, singled out for mar tyrdom. There are circumstances under which most of us can, without insuperable difficulty, rise from the moOdiness which is
 brought about by letting the nerves have their own way.
 Mental and physical diet has much to do with it, Brooding over real sorrows and i'm aGinary miseries will mako the best of us moody and wretched Nursing grief and af- fronts and telling the sad story of our woes has as depressing an effect as narcotic drugs. Sleeping i'll unventilated rooms often pro- duces chronic wretchedness, even If these rooms be furnished with the appliances of
 wealth and refinement. Association with grim persons is depressing and dispiriting.
 Good health, mental, spiritual and bodily, is
 worth working for. It casts out the malaria
 of moodiness and lifts us into the sunlight of | joy. Good health is more easily attained
 than most folks ssuppose.-Christian at Work.
