MISCELLANE
The Arithmetic Of the Cam
paign in Brief.

In the presidential election of 1884
Mr.. Cleveland received PIG electoral
votes, Alabama contributing 10, Ar
kansas z. Connecticut 6, Delaware ).
Florida 4, Georgia y, Indiana 10,
Kentucky l3, Louisiana 8, Maryland
8, Mississippi 9, Missouri 16, New
York Sc, North Carolina II, South
Carolina 8. Tennessee u, Texas 13,
Virginia -, West Virginia 6. Mr..
Blaine received 1872 electoral votes,
as follows: California s, Colorado 3,
Illinois p. Iowa IS, Kansas 9, Maine
6, Massachusetts IA, Michigan l3,
Minnesota Z, Nebraska 3, Nevada 3,
New Hampshire !, Ohio %, OIegau
3, Pennsylvania 80, Rhode Island 4,
Vermont 4, Wisconsin II. The
whole number of electoral votes be-
ing 40I, the number required to elect
was -z2EE-G, G,e.ala4d,s Isaj jarity.
however, was 81. 1t, may be as
sumed with considerable safety that,
as in 1888. the South in 1888 will
give Mr.. Cleveland her 1873 electoral
votes as a basis, the Democrats look
TO the doubtful States Of New York,
New Jersey. Connecticut and Indiana
for the additional 4S votes required
to elect their candidate. If they
carry New York they would still lack
u votes of a majority. If they carry
in addition Indiana, with her 10 cleo
toral votes, they will have q majority,
with three votes to spare If they
fail to carry Indiana they will need
to carry both New Jersey and Con-
necticut. The votes of the first and
the votes of the second added to-
gether would make them majority,
with three votes to spare. The Dem
ocratS are not without hopes, how
ever, of carrying States in the North
west and on the Pacific coast, which
would widen their margin of safety
The problem confronting the Repub-
licans is simple but difficult of solu-
ton. Starting with the 1872 electoral
votes Mr.. Blaine had in 1884, they
can win by carrying New York alone
Failing that, they can win by carry
ing Indiana, together with either New
Jersey or Connecticut. Both of the
latter are not necessary, as has been
assumed in some calculations. To
guard against the chance of losing
some State in the Northwest they will
no doubt carry both.

1t gives me great pleasure to add
my testimony in favor of ALLCoCK's
PoRoUs PLAsTERs. Last October L
had very severe attack of lumbago
and suffered untold agony could not
turn in bed or get in any position
without assistance, and with pains
almost unbearable; the folks sugges-
ted ALLCCCK's PoROCs PLAsTERs.-
As soon as possible had one applied
to the small of my back, and to my
surprise 1 experienced almost instant
relief; continued wearing it until
entirely cured, and am happy to say
that L have not had the slightest
symptoms Of Lumbago since. They
are wonderful aud valuble plaster

a Campaign Song.

The following campaign song was rendered
by the band. and sung with telling effect at the
recent Convention of Democratic Clubs in
Baltimore. 1t was composed By Col. :. WIZ
s. Hays, of Kentucky, aud arranged fer the
band by Adam Itez. Jr.:
The Democrats have won the day,
They've done with party strife.
With Cleveland at the helm will run
This country now for life;
His Democratic head is right,
His heart is always warm,
So shout aloud and swell the crowd
For Revenue Reform.
CHoRUs-Then hurrah for Cleveland,
Hurrah for Thurman, too,
Wen rally round the Stars aud
Stripes,
The red. white and blue
Wen shont for true Democracy
And sound the wild alarm
Along the line and give three cheers
For Revenue Reform.
Come all ye honest Democrats,
And join our mighty host;
We love the party as our lives,
But love our country most:
Stand by the good aud grand old ship,
We'll weather every storm,
And let our watchword always be
For Revenue Reform.
CHoRus-Then hurrah, &c.
The time has come for Democrats,
Who love their country true,
To stand by Cleveland to the last
And vote for Thurman, too;
So put yonE shoulder to the wheel
And lend willing arm:
Do all you can to help the cause
OF Revenue Reform
CuoRus-Then hurrah etc.

a FLOATING GARDEs.-In a vege-
table garden owned by Lucius Mer-
ritt, on floating island in Lake
Apopka, are tomato vines with 10
feet spread, one of which yielded
three pecks of splendid tomatoes at
one picking. Cucumbers foot and
half long and onions as big as sau-
GERS are among the productions OF
this wonderful island, which is about
three acres in extent It is managed
as q raft. and it is said that when the
Apopka steamer is late and likely to
give the island the go-by, Mr.. Mer-
ritt poles his garden 70 it.

You find no protection to these
ships. If build ship on the banks
of tue Kennebec, send her to Liver
pool, and she meets a ship from the
banks of the st. John or from any
other part of the world, now what
protection does your laws give her
over the foreign ship? What protec-
ton do you give her! Not the slight
est in the word. There is one fact
further which the gentlemen ignore
entirely, and that is the freights of
these ships are III many instances
more valuable than the cargoes they
carry. the immense trade carried IN
American bottom. from the Chincha
Island, the Guano trade, there the
freights were uniformly worth more
than the cargo itself. To-day the
vast amount OF the freights for the
TRANSPORTATION of British . coal
amounts to more than the cargo. It
is on freights that Great Britain is
growing rich and drawing to herself
the riches of the world. Yet we
stand here haggling over the remis
sion of a little bit of duty, which is
insignificant compared with the mil
lions of freights we might have in our
grasp if we gave any fair encourage
meDt to our commerce--JGntesG G.

S,ysterfSus Origin Of Fires.

Not long ago lot Of Sea Island cotton
In bales was discovered to he on fire in
New Jersey warehouse, and when the
flames were extinguished in one spot,
they would Immediately break out in
another. An examination showed that
it was roller gin cotton; that l., cotton Of
which the lint is drawn away rom the
seeds by a pair Of rollers, set st such
distance apart rs to keep the seeds from en-
tering between them, while the fl passes
on and goes into bag. In the present
case, more or less Of the seeds had some
how got between the rollers and been
crushed. and had thus saturated the cot
ton with oil, which, in due time, had
caused spontaneous combustion. q
A still more curious case occurred in q
Massachusetts, factory. In the middle Of
the room milling machine was turning
knife handles, the dust being blown up
through metal tube into the room above
and thence forced out OF doors through .
wooden pipe. A spark from an emery
wheel, fifteen feet from the milling ma
chine, struck window, and rebounding,
entered the mouth Of the metal tube, set
the wood dust on fire, so that the flames
poured out Of the wooden pipe in stream
twenty feet long.
An engineer, cleaning up a mill, pun
some cotton waste in front of the boiler,
where ii would be handy for the fireman
in the morning. During the night this
took fire spontaneously; the flames spread
70 the kindlings under the boiler, and
soon raised steam enough to cause the
boiler to blow OFF, badly soaring the
watchman, who knew, or thought ks
knew, that there was no fire under it.
In another instance q man drove nAA
into the ceiling OF jute mill. The nail
glanced of, was struck by the rapidly
moving beaters and cassed serious con
fagration. Youths Companion.

Newspaper "Sight Owls"

There is always the proportion OF night
owls, men who work when others sleep.
They have an air about them which n
unmistakable, for while they look tired
from the toll they have Just left, it is n
different kind Of fatigue from that which
one notices among those who are up
late" Many, in fact the majority. Of
these are from the newspaper Offices.
and they can always be known from the
shop talk they indulge in. Curiously
enough newspaper men do not talk very
much about their business in the day
time, not more, at least, than does any
other class Of men.
But at night it would seem as though
their brains are so full of the subjects
they have just left that their chat be-
c,snes Of the shop, SLOPPY style. 1t is as
though surgeons had come from the
scene Of some operation and were con-
strained TO speak of the flap and the
drainage. Their talk is ''cayiare 10 the
general, conveying as it does an odd
impression of inside information among
the speakers. Their, too. it is mostly ia
the future; they constantly talk Of that
which others do not know yet. Their
discussion is Of what the papers will
speak tomorrow morning; the news Of
the afternoon has already become ancient
history to them. That they deal in pews
is recognized practically by others, for
nothing is more common than 10 have
some gentlemen apply for information.-
