WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Wash

patches from correspondents in every
state of the Union, except Maine, Yer.

elections have already been held, a re-
| view of the political situation with spe-
cial relation to the complexion Of the
next house of representatives. In sum-
marizing its dispatches the Post says:
While Democratic gains are out
lined in many states, the fgare$ of OPP
ponents do not yet make it positive that
the Republicans will lose CONTROL Of the

the United States will certainly be Re.

unless the unexpected happens, ard -
additional districts will give the Repub-
icans "a majority CT the house. Accord
ing to the Posts advices, there are no

With 1876 districts assigned with GER

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Through the eff
forts and influence of Mr.. p. d. Ar.

the late well known general purchasing
agent of the Cudahy Packing company
of Omaha, has finally effected settle.
ment Of her claim against the insurance

Great Northern hotel in this city last
May, was former employee of Mr.. Ar

with the settlement effected it is learned
that the cause of Mr.. Russell's death is
no longer mystery, though the facts
have never been before published. For
year previous to his death Mr. Russell
had been under treatment in Chicago
for q severe form of kidney trouble,
which his close application to business
had SO aggravated that dining the last
few weeks of his life he had frequently
been overcome by spells Of vertigo. His
friends and physicians We're confident
that it was during one of these spells
the accident took place which resulted

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.
General youbert's story Saved tine
Lives. sf the Jameson Raiders.

Lives of the Jameson Raiders.
A most interesting account Of the
manner i'll which the lives Of Jameson
and his 1ners were spare3j. after the sur
render to the Beers, is. told by the
Nieuws Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers In their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybrealE. The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 20 being present, Of whom the
great majority, wild with Indignation
ut the sudden inroad into,their terri
tory, were for:shooting the British Off
GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this stEns-
mary plan and used all his eloqwence
and all his influence ON behalf OF the
prisoners. For long tim9his efforts
were vain. IT. was o'clock in tho
morning, and the president 81 opponents
were still for execution. The lives Of
the foreigners hung by thread
At length General Jou bert, enc of the
few who agreed with the president, had
recourse to the old time Boer method of
convincing his hearers. He mnde use of
q parable.
| "Friends," he said, will You not

Truly my neighbor would say unto me
'Thou hast killea.my hounds, yet their
value is greater than the value of your
sheep. Pay thou.men Is it.not better
that should take the hounds and 60
ing into my neighbours house say,
These are thine; now pay ma for the
harm they have done my tiock?" -
There was saence, and the general
continued: WeAhave caughs the pack.
Is it not better to send them to the
British government with demands fol-
reparation, lest the British send more

The old form. of argun2ent proved
successful. The wisdom of: moderation
became apparent, and the council ol

SERVANTS EXCUSES.

One yyOmlya whoWas Clever Enough
to Gircnmvent Them.
We have,heard the story of the Cana
dian mistress who, with seven servants
in her house, was Obliged to go to the
garden and pick berries for the table.
Each of the servants declined the task
with the stereotyped excuse, "It amt
my placs to pick ber7ses Ord. in his
"History of Cleveland, relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting Der servants excuse,
yet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs Wharton, with her usual economy,
had a family pic for dinner, which she
directed the footlnan to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to his place, or
rather, as derogatory to his eonse-
quence The lady then moved tho ques-
ton to the coachman, but found a still
stronger objection.
10 save the pride of both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself She ordered one man &c
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind, and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony. Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to Sec
ond time and the footman to mount be-
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought bach
the pie in the same dignified state.
"Now," said the lady TO the coach

is to drive, and you yours, " to the foot

aossettf's Infiuence In Causing the

Tt may or may not be true that it was

says William Sharp in The Atlantic.

declare, "only particle of vast null

Il was an amusing trait in Rossetti
that he was won't to designate the good

"Yes, that is Burne-Jones, but this
