VICTORY!
Democrats were in the Saddle
Riding to Win.
Fricke's Ticket in the Soup. Republicans
and Independents Sailing up Salt
Creek Without a Paddle.

The election Tuesday at this place
was characterized by the exceeding
ly quiet manner in which it passed off.
There were ne extra police, no need
for them. The business men, many
of them, closed their places of bust
ness and turned out to work, and
they worked, quietly. There was
no bull-dozing, no wagon standards
for walking canes, no Arkansaw
toothpicks displayed, in fact every
thing was as orderly and quiet as the
voting for the most popular young
lady at church fair. The vote up
to noon was light, and very little in
terest apparently manifested in how
they had been cast, though there
was determined "work for the
night is coming" look on the face
of the candidates and their friends,
and there was no relaxation in their
efforts to influence until the closing
of the polls at 6 o'clock.
Outside of this beat no accurate
figures can be given this morning,
but enough is known to
insure an overwhelming dem
ocratic majority for the entire
ticket. That the whole ticket is
elected there is not the least doubt.
As the news came in last night
there was loud hurrah's for the VIC
tory achieved. Every Democrat
was feeling good and the Republic
cans were not to be seen.
From the indications and what re-
turns are in there was an exceed
ingly light vote polled in the county
considering that there has been a
lively county contest. There will
probably not be over $500 votes
out of a possible $500.

"BLUE BEARD JR," the company
which is composed of 60 people
that appears at the Grand Opera
House next Saturday night is per-
haps one of the best shows that will
come here this season. Of it the
Chicago Mail and Express says:
"Bluebeard, Jr," the spectacle,
ballet, and burlesque presented last
night at Niblo's is the best thing OF
the kind ever seen in this famous
theatre. The scenery is remarkably
brilliant, varied and multitudinous;
the ballots are numerous, handsome
ly dressed, and managed with many
beautiful and some novel effects;
and the thread of the story is enter
tanning and intelligent, and light
ened by good dialogue and real
humor."

Getting . Substitute.

In China nothing is moro common than for gentleman who is in . serious trouble with the law to hire a substitute to take the punishment for him. Tho payment varies according to the gravity of the offense; but when it is murder, for which the penalty is death. it runs. we arc told. to fl2 exactly. In England these matters are seldom settled by proxy. and the last persous likely to volunteer to be hanged for one are ones relatives: they will see us hanged first This makes tho scene at the Portsmouth Police Court the other day very remarkable. A young gentleman of 10 is brought up on several charges of burglary; the evidence is, unhappily, clear, but his father comes forward and expresses his wish to act as substitute. What do you mcanp" asks the astonishcd magistrate. 'To go to jail for him?' Yes, certainly" Upon this amazing proposition being rejected the young gentleman faints; a young lady whose rc ations with him have been described by an adapter from Shakespeare as be- ing ''A little less than kin. and more than kind" faints also; and the self sacrificing parent has n fit This is, probably. the most emotional family. ss we'll as the most free from convrn- tion. that has yet been discovered London Aers.

SOON OVER
A River Springs Up ana Dies Away In sa
 Hours Time.

A sudden thaw i1 spring is com. mon enough cause of the swelling and overflow of rivers. but few people have experience of what might be called magic rivers" which disappear al. most as suddenly as they are born. One such. however. is described by W. H. Mallock in his account of Cyprus. en- titled In an Enchanted Island"
 On certain evening there wasa a sue cession of thunder showers. and then all the night heavy and ceaseless downpour. This. said my host in the morning. ought to bring down the river.n I asked what he meant by this, and he answered that the river below us was rarely anything more than dry bed of pebbles just as il was now.
 But generally once--sometimes three times--in the year it would suddenly fill with water flow for an hour or two, and again become dry and silent. 1 felt that the sight must be curious and wished that might be able to wit. ness it.
 About o'clock in the afternoon q servant came to my bedroom and asked me to go into ihe garden. There ] found my host with an opera-glass standing on the bank.
 'Lookm exclaimed he, pointing. "lt Is comiugl Listen! You can hear it. :"
 l listened aud looked. at last caught q sound. faint and uncertain, as leaves rustling in a dream. Then, suddenly. far away on the plains. saw something flash. like the head of 3 pointed spear. Gradually this pro. longcd itself into slim. shining line. which presently took curve. For a time it's course was straight; then it curved again.
 In ten minutes. over the brown sur face of the field the water had stretched itself like long. silvery snake, and the sound had heard. growing every in- stant moro distinct. explained itself to the car as the voice of the stirred peb- blcs. The river channel skirted the bottom of the garden. and thus. as the flood went by we had every opportuni. ty of observing it. It pushed itself for. ward. headed hy mass of pebbles and scum: it split itself Into fierce rivusets, which moment later were drowned in the body of the stream: it gurgled against banks, it eircled into transitory whirlpools.
 Gradually. as we watched. It's volume seemed to diminish. and in au hours { time there was only trickling Till. over which child years old might have stepped.

Cooking in Africa

As rule only one principal mcal is eaten in Central Africa. in the early part of tho evening. It usually con sists of parrot soup roasted or stewod monkeys. alligator eggs (also we'll liked by Europeans) and birds of every de- scription. They also have moamb bo. or palm chops and fish. A great deli cacy. so considered by Europeans aud natives alike. is elephants feet and trunk. These have somewhat the taste of veal. To prepare them ths natives dig hole about Ave feet deep In the sand and in it build $ largo fire. After the sand is thoroughly heated the fire is removed. leaving only the ashes in the hole. The trunk and feet arc placed in this hole and covered with leaves and aiterward with hot sand. In two hours they are done.
 All carcasses of animals which are to be cooked arc placsd on . block of wood and pounded until every bono is broken. care being taken not to tear or bruise the skin. They arc then boiled or roasted on m open wood hre or in hot sand or ashes. without re- moving the hide or fsxtherA Tho cooking ts of very infsrior erAda. the only spices used being salt and pepper.

As Brave as Grace Darling.

A woman who is now assistant keeper at White Head Light could en- Tighten those who wish to know some- thing of the experiences oi lighthouse keepers. In 1856 this woman lived at Matinicus Rock. twenty-iiye miles from the mainland. and inaccessible except in pleasant weather. Her father, Samuel Burgess. was the keeper at this light. and Is family consisted of an invalid wife and five children, one daughter. Aobie. being r years old. At the time of the memorable gale that swept Minot's Light into the sea the keeper happened to be away. The heavy seas broke over the rock. wash. ing every movable thing away unt! of the dwelling not stone remained. The little ones .iurried the mother to the tower, aud then crept in themselves as the sea cleared the rock of all save the stone lighthouse. For four weeks they lived there alone. for no human being could go to their rescue. but night after night Abbie lighted the beacon. and it never failed to shine through the gale,
 One day in 1857 Mir. Burgess left the tpNh tt VtAath it S9iAt Nud tO StCktI6 provisions. A gale prevented his re- turn and the family ran short of food. Abbie fashioned sail and her brother. who happened to be at home. started in small skin to procure food For twenty-one days the family lived on cup of ,orn-mcal and an egg each, per day, for the son was not heard from until the twcnty-second day, and added to the risk of famine was the suspense as to the fate of their father and brother, for were they drowned the family would have starved on the deso- late rock. During all this time. at the end of which the father returned Ab- bic cared for the sick mother. comfort ed the children and kept the bright light burning to save the passing ships from flashing on Mantinicus Rock. To- day says the Lewiston Joaraal her hus- band is keeper at White Head Light and she is the assistant. and hrayer woman never lived.

 The morning was very cold The ground was frozen and covered with white frost. I had been out riding. and as was pass ing through little village of tenant houses saw a inaii with club In his hand standing at the door of one of the buildings talking to some one outside I could not hear the words, but soon . man came out of the house carrying wo- man in his arms, followed by five little children He took the woman to q little dld building near by and laid her down. Then the man with thc club and some men in red coats put all the furniture into the yard and nailed up the door
 It was on my fathers estate and | thought if he knew of this horrible cruelty he would help the poor woman Who was sick. So rode home Us fast as could. l found my father just mounting his horse to ride away; but in my excitement rode up to him, saying:

Further remarks were to the effect
that 1t Yves not believed possible that

alarm when new States propose to
spread this evil over a new country
anu extend q species OF gambling
