The Republicans in Arkansas in the
Second District have probably defeated
Clifton r. Breckenridge, the free trader.
His opponent, John NJ. Clayton, claims
thathe is elected to the House of Rep

Gratis have just held their own. In Con-
necticut the Republicans have gained
one; in Florida one: in Iowa two; in
Kentucky one; in Louisiana one; in
Maryland two; in Massachusetts two;
in Michigan, the State that intended to
20 Democratic, but forgot, the Republi-
cans have gained three Congressman.

in North Carolina two; in Ohio one; in
Pennsylvania one, and in Tennessee one.
There is a loss in Virginia, and gain
of one in West Virginia.

AN old smoker says that sit is re-
markable that people smoke so much to-
bacco, in its various forms, that is i'm
pregnated with deadly nicotine, when by
a simple method, which would not de-
tract one whit from its good quality, but
would remove all that is Objectionable,
the; tobacco could be made free from this
poison. Merely soak the tobacco a day
in shallow trough and then lay it in
the sun, if feasible, if not, dry by the
most convenient means, and the weed is
robbed of all odoriferious properties, and
of nicotine. 1t is then so sweet the
fumes would not offend the most sensi-
tive lady, because it has no fumes. Be-
sides, the vessel in which it is burned
does not become strong-a valuable
thing for a man VINO prefers a meer
schaum pipe to cigars"

THE naval alliance for the suppression
of the slave trade in Eastern Africa is
assuming large proportions. Portugal,
which has long had possessions in the
south coast of Africa, has signifed her
willingness to join Germany and Eng
land in the proposed blockade. Such
an array of power as represented by the
ships of England, Germany, France and
Portugal ought to have some influence
in putting an end to this gigantic evil
of slave trading.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
remarks that "Gen. Harrison will enter
upon his exalted duties in the spirit of
Lincoln at Gettysburg, "With malice to-
ward none and charity for all" And
that is the maxim we would urge all our
fellow citizens to adopt in this day of
triumph that is Incompatible, that the
reinstated Republican party may be
worthy its high destiny in the guidance
and control of the once more redeemed
Republic; and to the boys who have won
and are on the grand march we would
say, build golden bridges for the beaten
enemy, and sing, rather than "Marching
through Georgia" any more, the Doxol-
ogy-and let the whole congregation
join in the singing"

the muscular force exerted by the jaws

GEN. BUTLER'S CHEWING GUM.
Chicago Herald.
A Chicago lady who recently went
East with a little niece whom she was
taking to school, met with most anus
ing experience on the train en- route.
Somewhere down in New York State a
short, fat man, with peculiar-loOking
eye, entered the car and took seat di-
rectly opposite the lady and her little
charge. The little one surveyed him
closely for few moments, and then,
turning to her aunt, whispered: "Auntie,
that's Ben Butler" The lady had not
taken any particular notice of the new
passenger, but at this she looked over at
him, and in an instant recognized him,
as the little girl had, from the familiar
caricatnres of the illustrated papers. In
a few moments he drew forth a crum-
pied bit of paper, and then began
search through all of his pockets for
pencil with which to jOt down some
thing that had just occurred to him.
Seeing that his search was fruitless, the
lady leaned over and offered him her
pencil. He took 1t with a polite ac-
acknowledgement, and made his little
after which he returned the
pencil with polite bow and smile. For
a few moments his mind appeared to be
occupied with something, and then he
seemed to recover himself again. Fun
bling in the pocket of his OVercOat he
drew forth a small package and passed
it over to the lady, with pleasant nod,
She hesitated moment, then accepted
the offering, and found, to her amused
surprise, that it was a fresh package of
Yucatan chewing gum. That Mr.. But
Ter had good supply of the article was
evident to her from the vigorous work
ing of his jaws, and she appreciated his
effort to recognize her kindness in loan
ing him her pencil.
