Of the campaign.
so long out In the cold; went wild over their
victory. and the City Hall square and the
packed with cheering crowds The Thomas

Headquarters are situated. was thronged with
Democrats. but the returns were so discour-
midnight.
the figures came in. and they took their defeat
in a cheerful manner Secretary Furey said:
IL Is just Sucn another landslide
Cured when Cleveland and Folger ran for the
Governorshin think 1t will be shown that
Kings county did not do worse than the other
parts OF the State. Our organization will be
all right. and many years viii elapse before we
will have another such experience"
Mayor elect Schieren. Sheriff elect Buttling,
and the other Republican vlctors were over
whelmed with concentrations.
At midnight the police had received returns
from Ul5 Of the $50 election districts In Brook
lyn: These gave Meyer 947l2 and Palmer
g. 40. a plurality Of lO.09S for Palmer.
The remaining districts will increase this
plurality by about 1.SOO making the Repuhi-
can plurality in the city about -. 500 The
four county towns gave the Democratic State
ticket about 400 plurality. Palmer's plural
ity in the county is about $500. Maynard ran
behind his ticket nearly 1000.
Scheren's plurality for Mayor may reach
27O0O or 2SOO0. and may even exceed these
figures. Out of tho 65t districts. $50 gave
Schicren 80. 421 and Body s. 1854. a plurality

HOTEL LIFE.

1t is one Of the anomalies Of rcOIt1n
hotel life that the o You pay the
less you expect in return, remarks the
New York Sun. In the huge caravan
saries Of the large American cities,
where a nan pays scventy-fve dollars
a week for a room. without board, he
thinks of asking any service of
the employees without paying literally
for it; he is charged for a fire, for
light after midnight, for the use of the
telephone, for sending out a message
by an office boy, for taking lunch in
his room, for corkage on his own
wines, and must tip the walters. In
a country hotel, where he pays six dol
lars a week, with board, he can have a
fire in his room when he wants it, he
can trust the landlord to send letters
and messages, he can smoke all over
the house, he can borrow anything
from a gun to a pair Of trousers, he can
get the ~landlady to mend his torn coat,
he can call for breakfast at five o'clock
In the morning and get it, he can get
the landlords boy to dig bait for him,
and he has to tip nobody.

BISHOP ASH, of Irasburp. VI. has
taken probably the longest carriage
drive of any man in this country. Six
teen years ago he left his little Yer
mont home and drove to Minnesota.
and thence to Oregon and the Pacific
coast. Seven months ago Mr.. Ash de-
cided to visit Irasburg once more. He
crossed the continent in a covered

I'VE had some experience with cat

times have been chased by ugly bulls,
but have no fear of them now. find
that when a bull disputes your path,
or begins to paw and get his mad up
you can always drive him away by get
ting the biggest stone you can handle
INC letting him have it in the ribs or
on the head; only be prompt about it
and don't wait for him to charge"
This advice is, OF course, only intended
for those who are good at long-range

They are now telling the story of 6
leading citizen of a town in Oregon.
who was selected to read the declara,
ton Of independence at the celebra.
ton Of the Fourth of July, that he had
got half way through the first article
of the constitution of the United States
before a member of the committee on
arrangements on the stage behind him
recovered presence of mind enough to
pull his coat tail, seize his book, open
it at the right place and start him off
anew on the self-evident truths.
That pleasant old Dutch name Wat
ervliet is equivalent to simply float
water" The vliet is from the same
root as the Saxon verb that means to
flow or to float. 1t nay mean the
water vessels float upon or the aggre-
cation of vessels. North fleet, south
fleet, ebb fleet and a dozen more such
are English geographical names con-
tanning this root, and it occurs in Fleet
street. Vley, which sometimes means
a small river or river valley, is from
the same root, and this form occurs
in several geographical names here
abouts.

AMONG the queerest of food adul-

1t is sold in London at s~ixpence per
pound. Ivory dust is the waste which
results from the manufacture of ivory
into various articles, and a workshop
will accumulate from five to six pounds
a week. The proportions are one
pound of dust to a quart of water,
boiled eight or ten hours. The prod
uct is a clear jelly, which is strained
and favored to taste. or diluted for

The latest form of horsewhip is con-
structed so as to give a slight electric
shock to the animal. The handle,
which is made of celluloid, contains a
small induction coil and battery, the
circuit being closed by means of a
spring push. The extremity of the
whip consists of two small copper
plates insulated from each other, each
OF which is provided with a tiny point.
The plates are connected to the induc-
ton coil by means of a couple of fine
insulated wires. With many teamsters

tinction of producing the largest crop OF
cranks and grasshoppers in the world.
The latest crank to come to the surface
is a man in congress named Curtis, who
introduced a bill last week to abolish a
number of custom houses in North Caro-
lima and Virginia. What does he know
about the needs of southern ports? Alb
solutely nothing, and the house will
promptly throw out this foolish bill, as
they did the one this numskull intro
duced some months ago to "refawm" the
"alphabet." We give part of the latter
proposed measure to show the size of the
man. Here it is:
Resolved, That the alphabet and all its be-
longings be committed to the care and control
of the bureau of education for any improve
ment in the form or the use of its letters that
may help in school work and forward popular
education.
None but a consummate crank would
ever have Matched up such nonsense.
A telegram from Topeka startled the
world last Tuesday with the information
that a man there had discovered a COM
pound which would bleach the skins of
negroes.
Poor old Kansas, we are sorry for you,
as we would be for any state who will
go down in history as the home of such
people as John Brown, Sister Lease,
Whiskered PETER and this new scion
called Curtis.
