Indiana Conceded to Harrison.

INDIAN PoLIs, Nov. 12-When the official
figures of Indiana's election are obtainable
they will give the Republican electoral ticket
not less than $500 plurality. This is con-
coded by the Democrats, but review of the
official returns may, by the corrections Of
errors, add somewhat to this plurality.
Wayne and Randolph give the largest Re-
publican majorities, while Allen, OF course,
ranks highest in the Democratic column.
There is but little variation in the figures on
the state ticket from the vote for electors,
and, therefore, the entire Republican state
ticket is elected, but the Democrats have
both houses of the general assembly and all
but three congressman.

Assistant Secretary Maynard, replying to
a letter from a Newark, n j., merchant,
about the recent ribbon decision in Philadel-
phia, in the case of Wannamaker against
Collector Cadwalader, of that port, says the
decision of the court holding that the fancy
ribbons involved in the suit were liable to
a duty of 20 per cent ad varolem was not
based upon any ruling of the department
since March, 1885. On the contrary, all OF
the decisions OF this department, Mr.. May
nard says since the present administration
came into power, have been to the effect that
ribbons composed of silk, or of which silk
is the component of chief value, are dutiable
at the rate of 80 per cent.

Miss Laura Gildea, Of Gaysport, Pa,
visited the house of Squire G. NJ. Sic
bert, in Allegheny township, Blair
county, last fall, and one day while
strolling in the woods, not far from the
house, discovered an ORIOLES nest with
little fiedgings iii 1t. The parent birds
were absent, and Miss Gildea carried
its nest with its little ones to the house
and placed 1t In the room which she
occupied. When the mother bird re-
turned to the place where the nest had
been and found il. with her little ones,
gone, she flew around in listresss, and
III her wild fight entered the open
window OF the room where the little
birds We're. Her maternal Joy was
manifested in a surprising degree and
she sat on tho nest for several hours.
Then she flew outin search Of food for
the chirping little birds. Within an
hour she was back, feeding her young,
without needing In the least tho pre-
sence in the Of several persons
who were watching the little feathered
family with keen interest. The window
was left open constantly during tho
rest Of Miss Gildea's visit, and every
day mother oriole left the nest, darted
away to the woods and returned with
food for her fledgings. Atlength when
the time came for Miss Gildea to tor
inmate her visit she one day shut tho
window and captured tho old bird.
She placed 1t and the young ones in Il

Looking on tho Dark Side.

1t is only wllena MAJ IS SC constitu-
ted that he worries " what lie cannot
help that there is danger of self murder.
This kind Of worry has a tendency to
unbalanco q mans mind. and then he
is liable to do anything. An intensely,
nervous man, with a dig. sition to look
on the dark side Of life, Will worry
himself about anything. Sometimes it
is business, again it is some pet object,
or it may DO some trilling thing.
Whether his suicide is preceded by a
disappointment, this loss Of money, or
somo small annoyance, tho fact should
DO considered that he was from the first
a victim OF the worrying habit, ana
therefore on tho road to insanity.
When u man finds the habit Of worry
growing upon him he should mako q
vigorous effort TO throw it of. Let
him cultivate q philosophical indiffcr-
encc. lilo will find that the host way
to keep trouble at q distance is to 20

such q man. lie may mover be very
rich or successful, but he will always
get along, and live out his allotted time

better than the fate in store for the man
who worries himself oyor everything
