following: "Wanted-By a young
lady, aged nineteen, of pleasing
countenance, good feature, agreea-
BILE manners, general information
and varied accomplishments, who
has studied everything from the
creation to crochet, situation in
the family of gentleman. She will

Carlisle Anticipated an Unhappy
Married Life.

Some account of your projected
marriage had reached me while in
Annandale; but / received your
autheatic dental of the business
with fresh interest-not enly as 1t
explained rather curious transac-
ton. but as it afforded me proof
of your confidence, which | am very
proud of thinking l possess in such
a matter. Various Thoughts strike
me ON considering that business;
and certainly the aaost agreeable OF
them is the clear persuasion that
you have acted with perfect integ-
rity and honorary, with even
scrupulous attention to the interest
of others, and an almost culpable
neglect of your own, throughout
the whole negotiation. AS for the
loss itself l am not sure that you
have much cause for regret, when all
is reckoned up. The young lady's
conduct can ind an explanation
if not an excuse for, and the evil
dence Of testimony forces me to
believe that her general demeanor
displayed many graceful qualities:
But she was a person of genious, II
I mistake not; and much as | adj
mire, not to say idolize, that char
acteristic in a mistress (or sweet
heart, as we call it), l confess /

ing it to any honest man in wife.
These women of genius, sir, are the
very ID, when you take them on
a wrong tack. | know very we'll that
4 myself-if ever l marry, which
seems possible at best-am to have
one of them for my helpmate; and |
expect nothing but that our life
will be the most turbulent, incon-
gruous thing on earth-a mixture
of honey and wormwood, the sweet
est and the bitterest-or, as it were.

A Painted Rat.

Landlord Withee, of the Hotel
Rumford, Rumford Falls, is great
story teller, and among other sur
prising narratives he is credited
with this:
speaking of rats, [ can tell you
story, and its true story. 1t
was over at Vassalboro on the Ken
nebec that a man | knew had a
house overrun with rats. He got
sick of rats, and he rugged a plan
to get rid of them. He caught one
in a trap, painted his ears blue, his
tail yellow, frescoed lot of bands
around his body and let him go.
Between his house and that of his
next neighbor was vacant lot, and
the fence runs along between them.
It was in summer, and this neigh
Dor was an early riser. He had a
lot of potatoes, you know, planted
in this lot, and beyond that lot
of grain.
"Well, twas just fore day, the
early morning twilight, you see,
and he was out hoeing his potatoes.
He Just leaned on his hoe handle
a-watching the sun as it rose in the
east when he suddenly saw some
thing moving the grain. 1t seemed
to be waving to and fro strangely,
mysteriously, along one line that
ran kind of crookedlike along by
the side of the fence. To say that
he was scared puts it mild. Why
he told me, you know, what'sname
that when he see the grain jogging
that way he didn't know what's up
He felt Just like eaving in. He
thought first it was big snake
just the top of the grain rattline
and swapping. AS it approached
him he ran forward with his hoe
handle and got on q clump O
ground, and there he see what i
was. It was rats-old and young
little and big, gray and black-al
kippering across field toward his
house. He tried to head 'em of
with his hoe, but it was no use
They crossed the lot, and for sil
months, maybe more, he had rat'
to spare. That's . true story. >

forwarded to the main land Of Sibe-

suffering the gang of which they
were members reached Kara. They
were fortunate enough to fail in
with a negro named Colcord, tel
egraph operator, who spoke both
languages f1uently and gave them
valuable assistance and instruc-
tions. When they were tried at Kara
the interpreter also assisted them
greatly. The Russian authorities
there happened to possess some
rudiments of common sense and
humanity, and their innocence was
made apparent.
Still they were not free till heavy
bonds were secured from English
and other gentlemen at Vladivo-
stock. Thence they took ship for
Shanghai, where Wilson at last ac-
counts was in hospital suffering
with scurvy caused by the diet in
Siberia. Paradyce in a few weeks
recovered sufficiently to ship for
San Francisco, where he wrote out
his case to be laid before the Gov
ernment. The foregoing is a very
brief summary of it.

not unlikely to be superseded -

of fine quality, it would be as cheap
as brick or stone. The glass may
be colored to suit the whim OF the
builder.

How Criminals Are Made.

The careful study of criminals
from a purely scientific standpoint
has led to many serious results. Inc
shape of a mans cranium after al!
affects his character. The lack OF
nourishing f,od may produce a
criminal out of a good man by I'm.
pairing the intelligence and normal
condition of the brain. A blow upon
the head, or a bursting of q blood
vessel in the brain, may make a man
a lunatic or a deep-dyed criminal.
A poisonous atmosphere may work
upon the nerves of one so as to lead
to suicide or other crime. A child
in youth may be turned into fu-
ture criminal. by severe punishment
or deprivation. Great exposure to
heat or cold may change phllan-
thropist into an evil doer. These
are facts, not fancies, derived from
criminal anthropological study.

HInsHachIlsAffa.

For the fires time in three years the
Bay state viii have Republican gov
ernor, and his plurality is 10000 at the
least. The whole ticket is elected
with him and the legislature is solidly
Republican in both branches. Candid
Democrats had conceded the defeat of
Gov. John +. Russell, their candidate for
governor, by a small majority, while
even the most sanguine Republicans
would not claim over Is, 900 for Green
halge. The astonishing result is attrib-
uted to the present industrial depres-
sion, aided by the fact that Massachu-
sets is nomnally a Republican state.
The Republicans are so jubilant that
they care very little about the cause.
A very significant report was that from
Greenfield, the birthplace of Hon. John
f. Russell, the Democratic candidate
where from Democrat plurality of IL
last years Crsenhalge got a plurality
of 1872.

THE REPUBLICANS In
ELECTION IN SEVERAL STATES
FULL OF INTEREST.
The First District of Michigan and the De-
trOit Municipal FIght.-New York,
Massachusetts,. Ohio, Iowa, Virginia,
New Jersey, Kansas and other States.
The First Congressional District.

The district which sent the late
and lamented Hon. j. Logan Chapman
to Congress for several terms had long
been conceded TO the Democrats.
Nevertheless, when death took away
the man who had served so long and so
well the Republicans took fresh cour-
age and worked with might and main
to wrest the First district from their
opponents. They named James III.
Stone, for years internal revenue col
lector, to make the race and right
royalty did they support him. The
Democrats were equally determined to
retain their hold and selected as their
leader Levi T. Griffin, a prominent
lawyer and strong candidate. The
fight was a hot one and the victor
deserved his laurels
The complete returns from every
voting precinct gave Griffin, Democrat
a plu rality of 1887. The Republicans
although defeated were satisfied to
know that the usual plurality of from
5000 to $4,000 had been cut so deeply.

DETROIT Municipal Affairs.

Hon. III. ). Pingree, twice elected
mayor of the states metropolis again
aspired TO the chair. His methods Of
conducting the affairs of the munich
pality had won him many enemies in
his own party and on the other hand
had brought to his standard many
Democrats. Thus with party lines
partially eliminated the fight became
one of men and not party; of princi
Piles and not politics. The Democratic
leaders headed their city ticket with
Marshal il. Godfrey, a sterling bust
ness man with friends on both sides
and the campaign became the most
torrid Detroit ever experienced. There
was considerable mudslinging on both
sides and the interest was kept up at
fever heat until the last moment.
But when the returns came in there
was rejoicing in the Republican camp,
Mayor Pingree was reelected third
term by his old time rousing plurality
of 5,774. Not only that, but the entire
city ticket was Republican. Splendid
fights were shown for two or three of
the minor offices by the Demo
Gratis, but it was landslide,
and the pluralities were as follows:
Mayor Pingree, IA; City Clerk For
ster, 4, ISIS; City Attorney, Rasch 3,5l2;
City Treasurer, Littlefeld, 4,973; Judge
of the Recorders Court Chaplin, 961;
Police Justice Sellers, l,7l6; Justice
OF the Place Shindel, 2,549.

Big Repub lean Gains In Chicago.

The election seems to be about a
stand-off. The returns indicate that
the Republicans elected the entire
judicial ticket and the Democrats Sc
cured the county commissioners inside
the city. The great fight has been
over the election of Judge Gary, Re-
publican, who presided at the trial of
the anarchists. At the time Gov.
Altgeld pardoned the anarchists he
made severe attack upon Gary, and
the fight has been one of Gary against
the state machine, with the result that
Gary seems not only to have polled the
full Republican strength, but to have
drawn on the Democratic vote as well.
In almost every precinct in the city and
county he was from to 10 per cent
ahead of the balance of the ticket. The
general result shows decisive Repub-
lican gains over the presidential cleo
tion of year ago.

The Empire State.

1t was general surprise. 1t was
one of the most peculiar campaigns in
the history of the state and it is safe
to say that the Democrat managers are
not more surprised at the result than
are the Republicans. The dominant
issue in all portions of the state has
been ring rule and the Republicans in
New York City, Brooklyn, Albany and
Buffalo have been greatly assisted by
the organized efforts of indepe ndent
Democrats. Isaac Il. Maynard, the
candidate on the Democrat ticket for
judge of the court of appeals, against
whom the independent Democrats
waged w ar most bitter and unrelenting,
has been surprisingly and overwhelm-
ingly defeated. In New York City he
ran $4,000 behind his ticket. In Brook
lyn over 5000 and in Erie county sew
eral thousand. Almost without ex-
ception the returns from every part of
the state show that he was heavily
scratched and the total plurality
against Maynard is close on TO
100000. The entire state Republican
ticket goes in. In New York City the
Tammany ticket received majorities of
about $4,000. Brooklyn was changed
from Democratic hands to Republican
by about 10000.
