NEw York. Nov. 9.-3Ir. Don u.
Dickinson, Of the Democratic campaign
committee, said at a. m: I'VE do not
desire TO boast Of the result. The grand
result speaks for itself. 1t shows that
the producers of the country have de-
termined that they shall be no longer
buTdsned by excessive taxation for the
benefit Of great monopolies. and are de-
termined TO uphold local rights against
the abuse Of centralized power. In
Michigan we have achieved a great sue
cess IN electing q governor and seven
presidential electors. The uprising in
tie northwest Is the most significant
Eigz Of the times. but IN view Of the
splendid performance Of New York
New Jersey and Connecticut. there Is
nothing sectional about the victory.
which Is a success for sound political
and economic principles every where.

Brain Stimulation IniurIous.

So far as the stimulation goes of healthy
brain that is only somewhat OverwOrked
the general experience of writers shows
it to be most unwise. The true remedy is
rest. If there happens to be some unusual
stress of work, which several hours appli-
cation will finish, which seems to be neces-
sary, there is harmless helper. When the
writer's attention was first called to the
now familiar coca it was as rare as any
drug could be. Small quantities were pro-
cured at much cost through persons who
had direct communication with its habitat,
Peru, and there was difficulty in obtaining
the extract made from the green plant.
Its effect was almost magical, and no de
preston followed its use. Now it is within
the reach of every one. But despite its adj
mirable assistance the continued use of it
instead of the necessary rest would be as
unwise as the overstraining of fine mechan-
ism. Save it against the time when rest
alone cannot restore the Tagging energies
of nerve and brain, when medical aid be-
comes necessity. Corson in New
York Star.

rrlmitIre stock of Sheen.

1t appears to have been a general opinion
among biologists that the Argali or Owls
Ammon of linnRus, which inhabits in
vast numbers the elevated regions of Cen
trail Asia, is the primitive stock of the whole
race Of domesticated sheep. Agreeably to
this supposition we find that from the
earliest times the inhabitants of Tartary,
Persia, MOsopotamia, Syria, Palestine and
the North of Arabia have been addicted to
pastoral employments. The tribes of wan
dering shepherds which frequent those
countries are descended from projenitors
who led the same life thousands of years
ago, and whose manners and habits are
preserved to the present day with scarcely
the slightest change.-Dry Goods Chronicle.
