AFTERMATH.

The New York Herald OF yesterday
made the following announcement:
An enormous sum Of money has been
wagered on the coming election and the
greater part OF IL was placed on the ex-
plicit or implied understanding that all
four OF the original candidates should be
in the race on electon-day. The untimely
death OF Henry George has so changed
the conditions Of the contest that. at
the instance OF the Herald a meeting of
the bOokmakers who hold most OF the
publlc's money was called yesterday af-
ternoon, and, after a careful review Of
the situation, it was decided that all bets
are declared Off. and the Herald was au-
thorized so to state.
An Indiana professor who took out
1880 insurance policy in 1850 received an
offer from the company twenty years ago
to cash the policy for 5000 or pay him an
annuity Of $40. He elected to take the
annuity. and now, at the age OF ninety
years, has drawn from the company more
than 5000.
Here is the story Of a fool in Kentucky;
Basil Hayden. who was a Confederate
soldier, has lived in good health in his

once in all that time has he set his foot
on the ground. The Lord was not good
TO him in allowing his negroes TO go
free, he said. and he vowed never to put
foot on the Lords earth again. Such IS
the story told in connection with report
OF a mule sale conducted by Hayden at
his home.
