There are numbers Of good things in the
fifth volume OF Moltke's memoirs. 1t is
told, for instance, that as the kings birth
days successfully approached, there used
to be bets among the officers and the gen.
eral staff as to how many words Moltke
would use in proposing the toast Of the
day. Some backed nine word speech,
others put their money on eight words.
Moltke's habit was to say, ITO the health
of his majesty. emperor and king" or, "To
his imperial ma jesty's health" In 1884 an
oyster breakfast was staked on the mar

HELPING Out an Actor.

Mathews was always letter perfect, and
severe with the forgetful ones. Here is an
instance: was once playing in Edinburgh
in "a Bachelor of Arts" A certain actor
was cast for the part of Adolphus. Math-
ews, in the play, was his tutor. 1t was
necessary for the calculation of the plot for
Adolphus to tell the story Of his life to his
tutor. The scene arrived. He did not
know his part. He started and stumbled,
started again and stumbled worse, until at
last, thinking to get out of it, he turned to
Mathews and said, 'Well, er-if you come
into the next room rll tell you the story"
Mathews caught him by the coat.
''Sit down, sir" he cried, ''sit down.
There are some ladies and gentlemen in
this house tonight who would like to hear
you tell that story. Never mind me. &c

And that after spending few years.

So Mathews filed out the whole speech
for him. When he had finished he turned
to the young fellow and in a voice o.
thunder cried:

CHIC.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.:-It must take
Che official returns to decide the result
for president and state officers but
the chances are largely in favor Of the
election of the entire Democratic state
ticket. Unofficial returns are receiv-
ed by both state conventions at
Columbus and do not greatly vary.
Columbus-The situation in Ohio Is
such that the official count alone can
decide the result. The Republicans
suffered relapse this afternoon by
discovering a mistake of 1000 in their
ping. This reduced the supposed
Republican plurality from 100 to- 700.
The figurs are on Mr.. Taylor, head OF
the state ticket, and as he runs ahead
ofthe Harrison electors slightly, in
dications are that the Cleveland elect
ors will be chosen. The official re-
turns show that Taylor ran 500 ahead
O the Harrison elector' ~ III counties
in the state except four have been
heard from and there can be no great
change. The Democrats are claiming
the election of the Clevelend electors
by 500 plurality but think the official
count alone can decide the result OF
the state ticket.
