THE STATE PRESS.
Various Views Taken of the Great Victory
of the People,

Valley Niignian.l
But il is an Of year, and don't count for
much. The legislation Of the recent session
will remain as il is. With a Republican
Senate and a Republican President we have
no fear for the tariff. 1t will stand. This
is a Democratic year. Two years hence IT
will be the turn Of the Republicans.
IDanyille Register.
1t has been demOnsi -ated beyond doubt,
and to the satisfaction of all thinking men
in the South, that the rule Of Republicanism
in this country IS constant menace to good
government and business prosperity IN ms
section, and Southern men see that they
must resist il with their might and with
their combined strength 80 long as North
ern Radicaism is rampant, just so long the
South must and will be solid for Democracy.
Norfolk Landmark
In 1892 the country will elect a Demo
cratic President, and within six years the
Senate will, we doubt not, have Demo
cratic majority. There must be a new di-
rectOry in the management Of the great
business of the Government.
Norfolk Virginianl
The people spoke in thunder notes Tues
day against the rObber tarifl, and the sha-
dow Of the empire, looming up in the shape
against the despOtic and autOcratic display
Of power exhibited by the Tyrant Reed as
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives.
They spoke in no uncertain tone, and their
will is yet supreme in this great American
Republic. God grant II may be ever thus.
lLynchburg Advance
From the comparatively small vote polled
Yesterday in this city, and 20 tar as heard
from in other parts of the state, makes Il
very certain that a very small vote has been
pOlled in the State, and that, while tue Dem
Ocratic majority will be very large, II
will result from the fact that the
Republican or negro voters have abstained
from the polls along with thousands OF DEM
Ocrats who did not see any opposition 10 the
Democratic ticket. and did not think il I'M
portaut 10 cast their votes. The Democratic
victory in the state will be complete.
Iynchhurg News.
The Democratic party has gained a great
triumph i'm the nation, which has sternly
frownod upon Recdism and Republican mis-
rule. 30 mote IT be. Amen.
lAlexandIia Gazette.
The farmers agree with Secretary Blaine
that the new Tariff bill does not make q
market for an additional barrel Of pOlk OF
an additional bushel Of corn.
lLynchburg Nirgnlan.l
Yesterday Tammany dropped Nic0ll in
the slot and pulled out a district attorney
Mckinley went down under an avalanche
Of Mckinley prices.
Norfolk Ledger.
The contest yesterday represented on one
side high taxes, bayOnet rule, and wantOn
disregard Of the rights of the people, but the
voters of the country arose in their might
and t,destroyed the party which sup
ported those issues. The victory will be
far-reaching in its effects.

HOW TO KILL A TURTLE.
An Experts Way of Settling Its
Existence.

AH EApeftS ay OF Settling Its
Existence.
Chicago Tribune.
A big turtle afforded the usual amuse-
ment for men and boys in front of a
Madison street restaurant. An onIooker
raised up his voice and said that he
would bet dollar that no one in the
crowd could tell the process by which a
turtle is killed. Whether no one knew
or whether the crowd had been caught
in the Barring Bros whirl is not known,
but the bet remained open. The man
lowered it to half and it stiff remained
ION the table," After he had departed
another man, little fellow without any
Overcoat or shirt collar, SAID:
'f had had any stuff l
would have taken that bet. l
am professional turtle killer. The
business is a profession, and isn't
picked up in day. Now, l will explain
to you, gentlemen, how to kill turtle
know none of you could do il after
tell you, but l want to show you that
the dufer who bluffed the crowd doesn't
know it all. See? Now pay attention.
First persuade your turtle to stick out
his head. and when he does, you cut his
throat. If he gets obstinate and re-
fuses to stick out his head il NAV be-
come necessary to grab the head with a
pair of strong nippers and hold the head
between them until the threat is cut.
Then yout cut the muscles that connect
the body with the shell and leave the
turtle 20 die. Now, how many of you
can tell me how long that will take?
None. OF course not. You don't know.
Well, about twenty-four hours. There
is good deal of the human about a tur-
tie: 1t likes to hang on, the turtle does.
If had had the stuff / could have won
that bet" a philonthropic man in the
crow who said he was fond of turtle
soup tipped the man a quarter and

TEN PONIES FORA WIFE.


How Marriage is Conducted
Among the Natives OF Thibet.
The Century.
Among Thlbetans man marries only
one wife, whom he purchases from Der
parents, belle often costing as much
as ten ponies and thirty yaks. The
price to be paid for the wife is arranged
by relative or a friend, who acts as go
between, and the only marriage cere-
mony is grand spree, lasting as long
as the bridegroom can afford to keep
it up.
The life Of Thibetan woman in this
part of the country can not be deemed q
hard one. She makes the tea, it is true,
but with that the housekeeping ends !;
for no, one ever dreams of clean
ing the kettle afterTard, and
every one has to mix his own tsamIa
and lick his bowl clean when he has fin
ished. Every four or five years she
may have to sew new sheepskin gown
Tor herself or some one Of her family,
but certainly not oftener. She cannot
nero the cattle or sheep; men must do
that, as there is danger from marauders.
She passes her time spinning warn.
weaving coarse kind of cloth out of
which bags are made, turning a PRAYER
wheel, Notwithstanding too voracious
voracious vermin.
her toilet requires rearranging only
four or five times year-when she Wis
its Kumpum or some other fair: she
never washes herself or her garments.
and her children cannot outgrow their
clothes. They have only to let out a
little of the folds of the gown, their
unique garment tucked up around the
waist, and it will fit them until they are
grown un.

Joe Brooks, a Monongahela Bar
Der, Performs Curious Cere-
mony.
Monongahela Republican.
Joe Brooks was sitting In his barber
shop Thursday morning when two
ladies entered, evidently mother and
daughter, the younger carrying babe,
and both strangers to the proprietor
Mr.. Brooks, with that Chesterfieldian
bearing for which he is noted. arose and
gave them cordial greeting. The
mother of the babe, after replying to
the salutation, said to Mr.. Brooks: 81
have a favor to ask of you, and, al
though it may seem queer one, and
I'm sure if you do, it will be of great
benefit to my child"
what can | do for you, madame?"
replied Joe. If it is anything reason
able, | presume ! can grant it,"
II have heard" continued the lady,
''that if a colored person will kiss baby
twice in the mouth. it will assist it IN
teething and make this otherwise
troublesome period to children very easy
to bear"
81 guess / can accommodate you,
madame. replleu Joe. ana, Sultlng the
action to the words. took the child from
its mothers arms and gave it two as
sweet and resounding kisses as he was
capable of bestowing, and Joseph is an
expert in that direction-he has the
mouth.
When this was done the mother took
the child, and both ladies left the shop,
apparently perfectly satisfied the oper-
alton would give the infant relief from
that pain Incidental to teething. They
seemed to be ladies of refinement, and
from their actions firmly believed that
caresses from colored person would
have the effect desired.
Mr.. Brooks says he has heard it is
good for neuralgia on older girls, say
sixteen to twenty years of age.

Guilty Peasants Acquitted.

Paris Dispatc TO The Londt Standard
A case just tried before the assizes Of
Limoges affords another illustration of
the fact that Zola's portraiture of the
French peasant is not very much over
drawn. The daughter of well-to-do
peasant fell in love with penniless
farm servant, one GrasSet, and became
his mistress. Her father, mother and
brother-the latter a lad of seventeen
surprised the man in the woman's
room and killed him in the most savage
way, the father Strangling lin with
his hands, while the mother and son
danced on his body. The old man ex-
hibited no sort of penitence, and claimed
before the court that he was master in
his own house, and had every right to
kill man who was worse than thief.
The jury took the same view of the mat
ter and acquitted this pleasant family.
