tha, fault has proved her und linz. IL
10 called vanity. She fairly wof--

thing in her power to make them
more beautiful than they were. She
used Numerous drugs before sue found

made h1r eyes sparkle like diamoads.
and she used it 10 such an extent

This brought b r TO her senses and

THE GENERAL RESULT.

The result of the State and National
elections on last. Tuesday may be ex-
pressed in general terms, buttthe
official returns are not at hand to en-.
able us to give the particulars. Enough
is known, however, to say that the
whole National Republican ticket is
elected, and both Houses of Congress
will be in the hands of the Republican
party. In this State the whole State
ticket is elected Democratic, and the
Legislature will be largely Demo
cratic in both Houses. Morehead, in
the 5th Congressional district, John
son, in the. 9th, Simmons, in the End,
and Nichols in the 18th were defeated.
We will publish a list of the mem
bers of both*Houses Of our Legislature
as soon as the official returns come to
hand. ~.a- A.r

MAMMOTH RAILROAD SCHEME.

The great millionaire Wall street
syndicate is stretching out its giant
arms and is gradually but surely en-
larging it's domain. Where it will
stop no one can tell. 1t has acquired
control of the important lines of the
Richmond Terminal, the Richmond
and Danville, the East Tennessee Vir-
ginia and Georgia, and the Georgia
railroads. 1t is asserted now in we'll
informed circles that it is the purpose
of this syndicate to get possession of
the Western and Norfolk, the Louis
vile and Nashville, the Plant System
and the Atlantic Coast LineITshould
this be consumated, it is a Question of
only a short time as to when the Sea
Board and other interior lines m
braced within their territory will in
evitably succumb and be swallowed
up. This vast scheme, prosecuted in
the hands of such an immense and
powerful combination, will place the
control of all the industrial interests
of the South virtually at it's command.
1t is a scheme of gigantic purpose
and proportions and involves a ques-
ton of serious moment to every citi-
zen of the South-a question of no
less Importance than the industrial
progress and development of the
South, over which it will exercise alb
solute and undisputed command. Com
petition in freights, which of late
years under the pooling system, has
virtually been little more than a mean
ingless phrase, will be wiped out,
and the immense carrying trade of
the South, will be entirely in the hand
of this huge monopoly.
How far it will be managed SO as
to contribute to the industrial develop
ment of the South, depends solely on
how far such a policy would go to
swell the Golfers of the monopoly.
Without imputing to it unworthy
motives or dishonorable action, but
conceding that it will be governed by
that policy which, for the most part,
shapes the action of men in all the

The county of Hartford completed
it's organization last Monday at Win
