THE ELECTION in this city last Sat
urday shows several important things,
one OF which is, that Notwithstanding
the fact that the Democrats carried
seven OF the twelvs wards, there is a
Republican majority on the total vote
in the city. In the twelve wards the
total Democratic vote was 2,749 and
the Republican vote 2 $50, yet the
Democrats, under the system OF gerry
Wandering adopted by the Legislature
some years ago, were enabled with q
minority vote, TO elect majority OF
the members of Council. The good
effect of the registration law was also
shown in the reduced Democratic ma
ioTities in their etrongholds. Tho time
was when the First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Tenth and Eleventh wards,
especially the latter two, could and
did make their msjorities just what
ever was needed 10 secure the succes,
of their candidates Now, however
the First ward comes with majority
OF 1926, the Second with but ~, tn
Third with a beggarly 81, the Fourtl
with but So, while the Tenth give
81 ard the Eleventh GO This is in
deed a change to what il was a few
years since, and elbows that with hon
est elections the Democrats have bu
litue chaucc Of maintaining their pow
er IL this city. Ii the Republican
could have Lad tie opportunity {
paying their taxes and registering
time for saturdays election, they woul
have elected nine instead Of i've men
bers OF Council. The result, howeve
is not discouraging, IS ii is an indie
tion OF eu overwhelming Republics
victory at the next election.

Opium-Eating i'm India,

In almost any village Of Guzerat, II not In
all, you may see among the Hindoos the list
less, apathetio manner and dull, sleepy eye Of
the opium-eateT. Anywhere there it is only
necessary to ask for little kasumba to be
offered 1t on all sides. The mode Of making
tSat drink is not pleasant to see. little
crude opium is produced and placed on @
small ball Of raw cotton. The maker holds
this In the palm of his hand and pours
little water on 1t. He kneads the opium into
the wet cotton and goes on pouring water till
the cotton is saturated with brown fluid.
He then squeeZes 1t out as from sponge
into the palm OF his hand, and you are in
vited to sit on the ground while he pours the
dirty stuff into your mouth, from o still
dirtier hand.
The opium eater is always dirty. These
people ask but little food. Opium eaters
have no appetite. They will work just as
much as they are compelled to do in order to
procure their drug. Ask them why their
fields are uncultivated or half-tilled, and
they say, "Look at the labor we should have
to undertake" They listlessly drag one foot
after another, silent and half asleep. In one
village tho reply given to On inquirer, who
asked II the people were we'll of. was, "How
could we be when opium is so dear2" No
wonder the active little Mahrattas walked
this country. More than half the outlawry
Of the province is due to opium smuggling.
Whore the cultivators have managed to keep
to a certain extent FREQ from tho opium fond
they arc invariably well off.-London Globe.

An Energetic Railroad President.

A prominent railroad man says that If Mrs.
Gould, of the Covington and Macon railroad.
wore man she would be the best railroad
worker in the world. To show the truth OF
this he gives q littlo incident. During tha
last heavy rain a part OF the track washed up
and several cars were derailed, while soma
OF tho employees were hurt. The superin-
tendant of the work was standing around,
and hardly knew what to do. In about three
hours afterward u crank car could be seen
coming down the track at a rapid rate, with
six men and Mrs. Gould. Upon reaching the
scene she jumped off the car, administered
brandy to tho sufferers, while she had q fire
made and placed thereon teapot, the con-
tents to be used by tho wounded. In tho
meantime she had all the hands put to work.
and 1t was only short time until tho whole
wreck was put In order. During the time.
though, she saw one OF the hands trying to
play off, and Immediately took out her
pocketbook and paid him and told him to
quit. This he did not like to do, but tho
other hands forced him. When one of tho
hands does not do his duty she at once pays
him up and ships him. 1t is said she is very
lavish with money, and Athens will probably
be much better of, financially, now that she
has taken the construction OF the road In
hand. This is something, though, that the
people down this way seldom see.

ment that had consented to lead decent
life, and did SO now chiefly out OF a feeling
of gratitude towards Stanmore for having
provided me with refuge from the indes-
cribably coarse associations which otherwise
would have been my lot. In the hotel at
which we stopped he engaged two rooms-a
eitting-room and another with two beds In it.
Thus far he had persuaded me, but he could
not induce me to join him at meals. I still
adhered to my humble fare. Of which I par
took in secret
On the first night Of our stopping at tho
hotel we were in the sitting-room, which was
lit with gas. Stanmore was busy with his
sketches, which, when he first took them had
been merely sketched in rough outline; now,
with paints and brushes before him, he was
engaged in perfecting them. A bottle of
cIaret and glasses were on the table.

Senator Vance's knowledge OF Scripture
Vance is North Carolinan, now in his
59th year, and in his seventeenth year in the
senate. Before he was elected to the offico
he now holds he had served two years in the
house and had held number of offices in his
native state, and had rendered valiant SER
vico to the cause Of secession, rising to the
rank of maior-general. He was in Lees
army at the surrender at Appomattox.
Vance is rather large In build and heavy in
form. with silvery white hair and stubby
mustache OF the same color. His voice is
rather raspish and nasal, and he might be
regarded as down-East Yankee from the
tone OF his speech, but he is a southerner.
with all the southern traits strongly marked
In his character. His humor, Of which he
has a very abundant fund, is Of the southern
type. Vance evidently comes from q
family that was very religious aud
devout. His language at many timos is
strikingly like that Of the Bible. Phrase after
phrase of his speeches are we'll known texts
of Scripture His SMILES are often derived
from Holy Writ, and there is a strong relg.
ious coloring in all his remarks. The
principal characteristic Of his mind, how
ever, is his humor. He is the funny man Of
the senate. He has an inexhaustible store-
house OF anecdotes which no relates cleverly
and always with aptness. He has hghtened
up the dull and dry details of the tariff with
humor and wit. which has many times pro-
voked a hearty laugh in the senate; but his
assault on the system of protection is hardly
regarded as serious. 1t is good humorod
and sophistical. Vance Is Southerner In his
politics. There is no taint of mugwumpery
about him. During Cleveland's administra-
tion his chief occupation in the senate was
to ridicule and make sport of the civil service
system, which Cleveland had promised to
support. Vance selected his choicest storios
to illustrate what no considered the absurdi-
ties and incongruites of civ vii service reform.

The number OF artificial teeth made In the
United States last year by three of the larg-
est business houses engaged in the trade was
nearly 20 OOO, 600 and this was not more than
half the actual production Of the country.
One peculiar feature OF the business is that
the houses which do the most extensive
export trade are obliged to prepare teeth
of different colors for different countries. In
Canada, for iNstance, the demand is for
molars as white as snow, while In South
America no such teeth could be sold. There
they require teeth that are almost yellow;
and the trade from China, which is luera-
tive one. 10 for nothing but black teeth.
