Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 9.-The returns re-
ceived so far of Wednesdays election
show that the total Populist vote will not
exceed $4,000. It was 95,sSS in 1894,
showing decrease of about 1000. The
falling off is largely attributed to the cap.

NOT A PLEASANT JOR


Almost awestruck are the sailors
when the cry of "Ambergris!" is utter
ed. The substance is carefully taken
from the bowels of the whale and is
packed in casks, If it is in LIQUID form,
or in sacks If it is dry enough. 1t is
then Drought in its nauseatingly odor-
ferrous condition, direct to Boston.
where 1t is appraised by the head of
the largest drug firm I'm the city. This
young man has no enviable task be-
fore him in ascertaining the value of
the article. He has to examine the
fetld mass. which is sometimes in Il
rank liquid state, sometimes of the con-
sistency of soft putty. and again a
chalk-like substance. That which is
more like putty usually is the best to
be relied on for making the best mar
ket ambergris. and gradually as it dries
the continual curing process it under
goes-the wholesome dark shade turns
to soft squirrel gray. The substance
nghtens in weight, and the subtle.
fascinating odor develops, an odor
almost indescrbable, like the blending
Of new-mown hay, the damp woody
fragrance of fern copse, and the
faintest possible perfume of the violet
And to what use is ambergris put? 1t
is an Indispensable article with fine per-
fumes. as 1t is used to give permanency
and lasting qualities to very fleeing
scents. 1t is curious fact that the
keynote or basis of "nosegays" or 'bou-
qucts," as handkerchief odors are
called, is not. as one might suppose, the
altar of garden flowers or the penetrat-
ing balsams-these are Indispensable,
but are not the groundwork. That basis
is always one of the four animal odors:
that is, ambergris, musk, obtained from
small musk deer of Asia; civet. from
the civet cat of India, and castor, a
secretion of the castor beaver now al
most obsolete in the perfume trade. The
pure and separate tinCture of any one
of these odors is too intense and power
full to be tolerated. Like all substances
OF these kinds, they must undergo
slow decomposition till the remainder

is still to he detected i'm the material af-
ter passing through the several lava
tory ordeals. They are. therefore. of
great value to the perfumer, and are
the essential foundation in almost every
formula.
The essence of ambergris is obtained
by mixing three ounces of it with one
gallon of pure alcohol. and not till after
month is it ready for use. This, how
ever, is only kept for mixing, and is far
too strong. Only when il has entered
in minute proportion into the bouquets
does it produce those agreeable and
characteristic perfumes the effect of
which upon the nerves of the sensitive
nose is much like the happy sensation
produced by harmonious musical
chords on the delicate ear, or the per-
feet blending of colors to the educated

Above, the air hung like a custard pie
in a burnt blanket. Spanish cava-
lier, muttering wild. green curses. stood
near. He was stcwing the last dish of
leeks which his mother had given him
before he left home. From a clump of
sordid trees two miles off came the
happy cackling of muskets.
There Will be death today" said the
youth. Dark brown death" At this
point the cavaliers chameleon curse

Slowly the baby's rattle of rifles
ripened into n Fourth of July. The
youth gradually awoke. being kicked
violently in the stomach by a baby

Get up, you" said the latter. with a
small black blue curse. The insur-
gents are retreating in our direction" I"

with his chin in his hands. "We have
been chasing the insurgents for three
months and we haven't had "a thing

He looked over his stock Of oaths.

HOW WOULD THAT HELP YOU,

Fifty-cent dollars will enable debtors to
pay their creditors in deprecated money.
As you are an honest citizen, how would
that help you?
The adoption of the silver standard.
which is what the free coinage advocates
really want, would drive $500 900, 900 in gold
out of the country. How would that help
you.
Putting the country on a silver basis
would double the price of everything you
buy. How would that help you?
The first result of free coinage would be
n widespread panic, through the calling
in of loans by lenders who were afarid of
cheap money. A panic means business
depression. bankruptcy and poverty. How
would that help you?
The agitation for cheap money is ham,
pering trade and industry by making own
ers of idle capital afraid to invest their
money in business. How would that help
you?
If you have money in the savings bank
or loaned out at interest. the value of your
deposit or loan will under free silver be
only half Of what it is now. How will
that help you?

A TELEGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE.
lie Dropped on to sleep. but He Was
Not Conscious of 1t.

From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
Said the telegrapher: Jones was
night operator at a town near Altoona,
on the Pennsylvania railroad. He had
lost great deal of sleep and was very
tired The night wore along and trains
We're few. 1t was hard to keep awake.
Finally the operator in the signal tower
next to the west reported No. 4, the
express, passing east. The track was
clear and Jones pulled the white signal
and waited for No. 4. He had almost
fallen asleep when he was aroused by
the roar of the train as No. swept
past the white signal. He saw the red
lights at the rear of the train as she
disappeared around the curve, and he
reported her to the operator at the
signal towers next east and west. Then
he waited to hear that she had passed
the tower east. Three or four minutes
was all It should have taken her to
reach that tower. but he waited long
after that and no word came to him.
He called up Smith, the operator there,
and asked him il No. 4 had passed.
Smith said NO They talked over the
wire and concluded that she had broken
down or been wrecked between the two
towers.
AT about that time the train dis
patcher called IN and asked anxiously
where No. 4 was. Jones said that she
had passed his tower, and Smith was
sure she had not passed him. Every
body was wide awake now, for the
train was certainly lost, and q lost
train is a serious thing on railroad
The dispatcher thought that she might
have slipped past without Smith see
ing her. but the towers all along the
road beyond declared she had not
passed them. A freight going west
was stopped at Jones' tower and the
conductor was asked if he had seen
Ne. between the two towers. He
said that there was no sign of her.N
Then the perspratiOn began to stand
out on the operators and dispatches.
The track between the two towers lies
along the river. A high stone wall sup
ports II. The only possible explanation
seemed to he that No. had gone over
the wall into the river. She could not
have gone uD into the air. Nearly an
hour had passed. The river seemed
the only place where she could be. The
freight conductor received orders to
uncouple his engine and run back slow
ly. He ran back past two towers, but
could see nothing of No. on the track
or in the river. There was not even
q displaced rail whore she could have
gone over the wall. Then he was or
dered to run slowly west to see how
things looked there. About half way
between Jones tower and the one west
of him the express was found. with a
broken cylinder head. She had never
passed Jones at all. Jones had dreamed
it, although he declares to this day that
he was wide awake all the time. Jones
was in bad repute for a time. but he
was not discharged. as he was a good
man, and his mistake had not caused
q wreck"
