it was necessary, therefore. for the

Gov. Yates was delirious during the
greater part of the day. though he
had rational periods. He talked al
most necessarily of the political cam
paign and when rational would in
quire about the returns. Several
times while in half-conscious state
he uttered prayers for the success of
the republican ticket. Mrs. Yates
was greatly distressed by the appar-
emily dangerous condition of the pa
tient, but DIR. Taylor said there was
nothing to fear.
The delirium. he assured her. was
the same as that experienced by all
patients at this stage of the disease
and should occasion no undue alarm.
At Q o'clock last night the governor
was visited by his physician. He was
then rational and his temperature
was lower. lie made anxious inquir-
les concerning the election and the
doctor told him of the returns which
had been received. He chatted with
him a short time and then gave in
structions that the patient be kept
quiet the remainder of the night.

An Object Lesson.
 One professor who was decidedly foxy secured large audiences by the simple expedient of introducing fashion notes in his remarks. For instance, he would speak of the rich costumes of vel vet worn by the nobles of the middle ages and then add, By the way, young ladies. I understand that velvet is to be out of style next winter owing to its having been so common during the past frosty season." Or he would bring in a little jest after this fashion:
 The University of Paris, my friends, was so celeb -ated at the time of which we are speaking that it counted pupils from all over the world. It is related that three jealous young men who at- tended were in such poverty that they had only one tunic among them. so that while one attended the lectures the other two stage .n bed.
