The decision Of the Court Of Appeals OF
New York giving the Democrats control OF
both branches of the Legislature is one OF
the most important victories the Democracy
has ever gained. New York is really
Democratic State. and frequently elects a
Democratic Governor. while the Legislature.
through Radical gerrymandering' Is largely
Republican. Now all this will he changed.
A Democratic Legislature and Governor Will
redistrict the State eouitably and more IN
accordance with the sentiments of the people,
and the consequence will be that the Demo
cracy will control it for years to come. and
,ts thirty-six electoral votes will almost GER
tainlv be cast for the Democratic presidential
candidate next year.

About Vampires.

The original meaning of vampire, which
artpellation has been given to certain blood
sucking bats, was that it was unusually sup
posed to be the soul of dead man which
quits the buried body by night to suck the
blood of living persons This belief chiefly
prevails in Slavonic lands. 1t is thought
that those who turn vampires are generally
wizards, suicides, and the persons who have
come to violent end, or have been cursed
by their parents or by the church. Tr4vel-
ers describe the wounds inflicted by the
large sharp-edged incisors of the South
American vampire bat being similar to
those caused by the razor when shaving;
q portion of the skin is shaved of, and q
large number of served capillary vessels be-
ing thus exposed, a constant flow Of blood is
maintained. From this source the blood is
drawn through the exceedingly narrow gull
let-too narrow for anything solid to pass
into the intestine-like stomach, whence it is
pnobably drawn of during the slow process
Of digestion, while she animal, sated with
food. is hanging in state of torpidity from
the roof Of its cave or from the inner sides

will only describe the bowling aud
whirling dervishes. First we went to
the whirling deryishes After we had
been sitting around the circle the
dervislies came Ia one after another.
The first one was the sheakh. He was
very old man and he had big hump
on Ills back. He was clothed In a
brown mantle thrown over his should
ers and he walked very slowly indeed.
His step was about half foot long.
After they all were in they sat down
ON the prayer mats. Then they all
came and bowed to the sheakli then
they began whirling. 1t was beautiful
To see their white skirts all stand out.
They stuck out rs II they were made
10 stick out. Every one of them held
their right palm of the hand down and
the left up towards heaven.
Then they stopped and all sat down
on their mats again. They did this
same thing over several times. The
second time we went away to the
bowling tiervishes. Wlten we got there
Ii was quite crowded and after while
the door opened and every body went
In. We had not been sitting there
long when the deryisbes came in.
When they lad all seated themselves
they began 10 say ALA. ALA. First
they said it very slowly and soft and
then they said IL louder and faster and
more louder and faster. They shook
their heads every time they said any
thing from one side TO the other and
every time they said II loud aud fast
they would shake them very Violently
indeed. Some ufsthem had strangling
long hair. Il though the sheakh was
very good looking. He had a very
pretty little son there with him and
when we went out he made such a
broad smile mt us. One OF the men
got kind ef crazy and he ma,ie n fright
fnl noise and called ALA. ALA. The
Arab right next to him took ahold OF
him all through until the end They
did the same Ihing4 over and over
again. When IL was through we went

In the army. with its vague and few
and distant rewards. there may be and
there are rivalries in devotion and
daring. but there is no competition for
place and money as there Is in civil
life: and yet the soldiers ideal being
duty. the performance of duty seems
sufficient. 1t is a state OF things which
eau suggest much to those who are
fond of battling the hope of better
things in us with the assertion that it
is contrary to human nature to act
from any but interested and selfish
motives. Human nature is great
mystery. and we have not yet begun to
solve it; but it appears that number
of men drawn at random from society,
and trained to belief in duty as the
chief good, will keep on not only living
it but dying it. We civilians talk much.
we almost talk solely of our rights but
in the army it seems that men talk
chiefly of their duties. when they talk
at all, and never of their rights. These
things are true of all ranks; the ideal is
the same from the private to the
general. and it seems to correct all the
mistaken tendencies of the time before
they became soldiers.
If, as Ruskin has fancied. the army
should ever serve us as the norm of the
civil state, and we should come to have
..soldiers of the plough-share as well MS
soldiers of the sword" it might not be
long before we should be told that it
was against human nature to act
selfishly. and that to be recreant to the
general welfare in any aim or deed
was to be guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing a citizen and a gentleman. How
ever this may be, it is certain and it is
significant that those who have at
tempted to dream out future brighter
than this present have always had
something like a military organization
in their eyes; but these Missionaries have
somehow beheld little of the gayety
and enjoyment which are quite as
compatible with the performance OF
duties as with the assertion of rights.

HOW High cam Ntan Llve2


Mr.. Webber, the traveller. states that
in rhibet he has lived four months to-
gether at a height of more tlian Is. 600
feet above sea level. and that the re-
suit was Us follows: His pulse, at the
normal heights only sixty-three beats
per minute. seldom fell below 100
beats per minute during the whole
time he resided at that level. His res
pirations were often twice as numerous
in the minute as they were in the or
binary level. A run of 100 yards
would quicken both pulse and respira-
ton more than run of l. 900 yards at
sea level, and he found that the higher
the level the greater the difficulty of
running or walking fast. He crossed
the Gurla sMandhata mountain at a
height of 20.00O feet and found he had
the utmost difficulty in getting his
Breath fast enough. Webber also says
that the native guides of the mountains
suffered equally us much. ii not more
than lie.
