While the returns from the State
are still meagre enough are in to show
that Galusha A. Grow will have at
least 100000 majority, the largest ev.
er given a Republican candidate
The vote outside of the cities seems
to have failed to get cut, which re-.
duces the vote on both sides to con.
siderable extent.
The victory is complete, and is a
fearful rebuke to the party which
would bring free trade on the Ameri.
can people. Will the warning be
needed? 81? Not likely.

In the Struggle For Life.

In tropical countries, where the strug- gle for life seems to rage even fercer than in the temperate regions, a vast number of animals have been driven by want to seek their livelihood in the dark through stress of competition. There are the howler monkeys, for example, who make night hideous in large tracts of South American forest, beginning their dismal music as soon as evening sets ill and only retiring for the day as dawn purples the horizon.
 There are the lemurs of Madagascar so called because, like ghosts, they walk by night and withdraw at cockcrow- strange, stealthy, noiseless. creatures with great, wistful, poetical eyes and en. larged pupils; monkeys that prey on birds and insects in the gloomy depths of their native forests. There is the slen. der loris, a graceful and beautiful beast with eyes like a gazelle's, but treacher- ous manners, who pounces upon birds as they sleep in their little nests, creeping silently upon them from behind like an Indian upon the warpath, and affording no indication of his hateful presence till he is within arms reach of his slumber- ing victim.
 These are but few of the nocturnal mammals of the monkey and lemur type, ancient ancestors of our own, gone wrong through keeping such very late hours, and now stranded for the most part in islands or peninsulas of extreme antiqui- ty.-Cornhill Magazine.

Wrecks and Salvage.

Given 8 ship in safe position as re- gards valuable property on board, but an uncertain position as regards diving operations, and she may be to the divers ''stand by" for years-notably, for example, in the case of the steamship Cadiz, wrecked in 1875 near Ushant, hay ing on board valuable pig lead and quick silver in large iron bottles. The Salvage association had a standing contract with divers, and year after year, when noth- ing more remunerative was on hand, the diving cutters would sail out from Whit stable for the wreck.
 When the news of the loss of this ves- sel was first received, some chagrined un- derwriters made known to the Salvage association that ill a box in the captains cabin was jeweled hunting knife valued at e7,000, belonging to Portuguese mo- bleman. The exact spot in which the box was bestowed was carefully explained to the divers, but all their efforts to find it were in vain, or so they affirmed. Lead they could see in plenty, and quicksilver, but nothing at all resembling box with a jewel hilted knife in it. At this stage, however, they were paid not by results, but by time, and it suggested itself that the thickness of the water might be clear ed by the offer of a special per cent, or 1850, for the recovery of the knife, and, by singular coincidence, the costly toy was immediately found and brought to the surface.-W estminster Review.

A writer remarks that the process of crystallizing flowers is simple and can be satisfactorily accomplished by any one who has artistic skill.
 Arrange some basket forms of any de- sired pattern with pliable copper wire and wrap them with gauge. Into these tie to the bottom violets, ferns, geranium leaves-in fact, any flowers except full blown roses-and sink them in solution of alum of one epound to a gallon of water
 Wait until the solution has cooled, as the colors will then be preserved in thei1 original beauty, and the crystallized alum will hold them faster than whe1 formed in hot solution.
 When you have a light covering ot crystals that completely envelops the ar ticles, remove cheerfully and allow it tc drip for 12 hours. These baskets make a unique ornament and long preserve their freshness. Popular Science News

ASHFORD.

Wayland W. Wilson, 26 years old, was thrown from heavy load of lumber near West Ashford last Monday morning and instantly killed, the wheels of the wagon passing over his head. The team, a four-horse one, owned by Thomas Whitehouse, of Ashford, ran down hill on which the accident happened, and in turning 8 corner at the foot ran off an en- bankment about ten feet high, wrecking the team and killing one of the horses. No one saw the accident, but it is SUD- posed that Wilson was thrown from his feet by the wagons sliding on the ice and striking stone. Wilson leaves a wife, He is the son of Edward Wilson, at whose house the funeral was held on Wednesday.

and lower. A powerful galvanic bat tery quickened the muscles of the dy- ing man into a horrible counterfeit of natural motion, but at last even the battery failed and the last sign of any motion that suggested spark of finger ing life passed away soon after seven o'clock.
 The doctor packed his appliances and remedies away preparatory to leaving and the coroner succeeded him.
 Justice Johnstone impaneled a jury made up of the following persons: W. Nichols, A. Barry, F. L. Warner, c. c. McQuinn, A. s. Mills, Jack Guinnell, John Cocker, R.

 The suicide was about thirty-two years of age, handsome and an excel lent specimen of physical manhood as he lay upon the cot last night in his small and meanly furnished room.
 He came to Phoenix about five months ago as teacher of music and dealer in small way in musical instruments in which business he has partner in Denver.
 Trade had been dull and pupils few, so that it is not supposed that he had earned even the economical living he obtained by boarding himself and this is taken without information as to any other cause, to be the motive for sui eide. It is not known that he had any money when he died and the only prop erty visible were two pianos but whether he owned them or held them as an agent could not be ascertained.
 He came here from Denver and had spent the summer at the worlds fair. He had been in business at Holyoke, Mass, and other cities in the east. He was a native of La Baie du Febvre, Province of Quebec, where his parents now reside.

DEADLY TIRED Pierre LaFOnd WearieS
 of Life. A Dose of Morphine Off,
 fers Relief. All That Is Known Here of the
 Dead Professor. Despondency Caused by Poverty Believed to Have Been the
 Motive for Suicide.

Prof. Pierre L. LaFond, French Canadian and music teacher, cut loose yesterday afternoon from the per plexities which he found gathering about him. It was done easily and quickly. A dose of morphine solved the problem which had been worrying the professor for days and at 7 o'clock last night no living man or woman in Phoenix was so free from care as he.
 He died suicide.
 The professor betrayed evidences of despondency yesterday morning and later in the day his mental condition was intensified by alcoholic stimulants. Soon after noon he told his most and perhaps most intimate friend in the city that he would be dead before night fall. He exhibited package contain ing white powder which he said he would take and which would make him as though he had never been.
 The professor occupied small build ing on the northwest corner of Wash ington street and Fifth avenue. The front part of it was used as a music room, in the rear and northwest corner he lived ate and slept. Immediately north of this building was the house of his friend, MT. Bishop, who remained with him constantly after the professor showed him the powder which he said he was going to take. LaFond begged him to leave him and twice ran into hls house, closed the door against his friend, tried to lock it but the other forced his way in and tried to take the poison from him. About 4 o'clock, after an unsuccessful struggle to get poses sion of the powder and seeing that La Fond was approaching the execution of his threat ran out to call help.
 When Bishop returned he saw traces of the deadly powder on the professors lips and mousrache and knew that his brief a absence had given she opportunity. He ran to the residence of W. H. Smith across the street and said that Prof. La Fond had taken poison. Mir. Smith tel ephoned for Dr. Dameron, who arrived five minutes later or within fifteen minutes after the drug had been swal- lowed.
 All the remedies usually employed in cases of morphine poisoning were prac- ticed, but the patient sank constantly
