The Arkansas Elections.

LITTLE Rock ark, Sep. 1.-The Gazette
says; The State and county elections to-day
passed off quietly, so far as known.
Nothing more than few disturbances of
an ordinary character have occurred, and
these did not affect the results. Partial re-
turns and estimates received by the Gazette
from thirty of seventy-fve counties in the
State indicate a largely increased majority
for Governor Eagle and the Democratic
State ticket over two years ago. Demo-
cratic majorities on county officers and
Legislators have been correspondiugly in
creased. The Democrats claim the State
by from 5000 to $4,000 majority. In the
Third Ward. and in several townships in
this pulaski county, double polling places
the County Judge had violated the law in
appointing Judges of Elections.

A True Fish Story.

Nearly a year ago Fisherman W. T.
Van Dyke, while pursuing his occupa.
ton off shore, invitingly threw out a
fishing line with two well-baited hooks.
Presently there was jerk-the bait
had took" Van Dyke was hauling in
hand over hand, when suddenly the
tension ceased, and the line was grace.
fully and adroitly whisked into the
boat minus both hooks.
Last fall Mr.. Van Dyke in emptving
one of his pounds" of his overnight
catch, discovered among his captives a
pig fish and sea bass united by q
hit of fishing cord, which he readily
identified as his own. A hook had
penetrated the jaw of each fish, and,
becoming imbedded there, the flesh
had grown around their barbs and thus
securely fastened them in position.
Thus held together for nearly twelve
month they had coursed the briny in
double team, held by a single Irvine,
Till death cut their thread of life in
twain.
The skeletons of this curious pair of
accidental Siamese twins, together
with the hooks and line which consti-
tuted their sole domestic tie, now
adorn the walls of the fish house Of

site North Bath ayenue.-Long

such occurrences. The best precon-
certed arrangements, however, are
often inapplicable, and success de-
ponds mainly on the presence of mind
of the watch, the man at the life buoy,
and the normal condition of the boats.
A cool hand will drop the life buoy
sometimes within reach of man;
"bothered" one will either not let 60
ut all or do so before the man has got
near the stern. OF all persons aboard
ship. the officer of the deck should be
cool and collected.
Rear Admiral S. b. Luce lays down
the principle that the most important
considerations when man falls over
board are First, the quickest and
most effectual method of arresting the
ships progress and how to keep her as
near tho spot where the man fell as
possible. Second, to preserve the gen
eral discipline of the ship, to maintain
silence, and to enforce the most prompt
obedience, without permitting foolhardy
volunteering of any kind. Third, to see
that the boat appointed to be employed
on these occasions is placed in such n
manner that she may be cast loose in
a moment, and when ready for lower
ing that she is properly manned and
fitted, so as to be efficient in all re-
spects when she reaches the water.
Fourth, to take care in lowering the
boat neither to stave or swamp her
nor to pitch the men out. And, lastly,
to have sufficient number of the
sharpest sighted men in the ship sta
toned aloft in such manner rs to
give them the best chance not only of
discovering the person overheard, but
of pointing him out to the men in the
boat, who may not otherwise know in
what direction to pull.
With steamers the difficulties to
overcome in rescuing a man overheard
are comparatively few, inasmuch as a
steam-vessel is always under control SO
long as her machinery is in good or
der. The rule is to stop as quickly rs
possible, lower the life-boat, and pick
the man up. The really fine points of
scamanship come into play when sail
ing ships are being handled. The or
deal is trying one for the best of off
GERS, and the young seamen who can
properly place large sailing ship and
rescue man that has fallen overheard
deserve the highest credit for seaman
ship qualities.

brilliant social events that have ever
shone in American society. The house
was part of the old Frclinghuyson es-
tate. The interior has been remodelcd
to very great extent, and cost good
many thousands of dollars. The par
lor is charmingly furnished, the pre-
vaiiing tone being rather dark. Fitch

beautiful pictures are where they
should be--in the art gallery.
Her home and charity are Mrs.
Wanamakcr's chief pleasures in life.
Although iudicious through the force
of the very instinct which prompts her
gifts, she annually gives away great
deal of money directly or indirectly to
the poor of Philadelphia. The chief
characteristic of the woman is tact, II
trait which, everything considered, she
possesses in a most remarkable degree.
A story is told of Mrs. Wanamakcr
which clearly illustrates this attribute.
Mr. Wanamaker met one day man
whom he had known in years gone by
and to whom he desired to show some
courtesy, so he invited him to call on
Mrs. Wanamakcr. Now, this old friend
was primitive in his ways and rather

He Mashed a Hat.

Along about the middle of the coach
was young lady, not beautiful girl,
but just ordinary, although she had a
very jaunty hat and sealskin sac1ue.
A young man got on at Castillo who
stood at the door and looked the pas
sengers over for minute or two, and
he then walked deliberately down the
aisle and pumped himself down beside
the girl. AS he did so there was a
crash and n crush, and he sprarg up to
discover that he had sat down upon a
baIdbox and mashed it flat

But, miss-but-"
