Contrary to all expectations, the cities snow Republican gains and tbe Democrats hold their own in the rural districts, due to tbe Republicans in - tbe country aaeriUcing their tickets for the amendment. While the vote will be dose, the Democrats bare everything, and the Republicans concede mat in submitting tbe Prohibitory amendment they armed the temperanae element whose Ingratitude turned oav them." A Colnmbus dispatch of the 11th Inst, t tbe Chicago Twki says: "With returns from eighty counties and the other eight estimated, Jt conceded at Republican headquarters this morning 'that tbe Democratic majority will be over 12,000. Tbe Democrats do not claim the State by more than that. The best information is that the Legislative tickets at Cleveland and at Cincinnati are divided. On the proportion mutually claimed the Senate Mods XI Democrats and 11 Republicans.

not probable. The Democratic majority on

years the Democracy have obtained control of the Executive, Judicial and Legislative

branches of the state Government or utno.

a section-boss on Hie Chicago, Milwaukee and .St. Paul railroad, his wife and baby, accompanied by bis daughter and ber husband and

child were riding on a band-car. Mrs. Iron-

sort's bat blew off and in reaching for it her

baby slipped out of her bands in front of tbe car. Tbe little one was caught up by the

gear wheels -and in an instant was crushed among tho gears and wound

about tbe shafts, of the machinery, being torn limb from limb and its flesh crammed in the mashes of the cogs. The car was thrown from the track, and those upon it were hurled some distance. Both women-were probably fatally hurt, while the other child was also fatally injured. The remains of Trougert's child were pried from between the wheels and gearing ot the car, and its body was so tightly wedged in places that it had to be cut loose. A "solitary horseman the other day robbed all the passengers of an Arizona mail coach and carried off the Wells-largo Express box and tbe United Stales mall.

A Dos Moines dispatch, sent oat at 1 n'olock m Jneatliy morning say: - "The returns front the State at large show a net Eepubbean loss in forty-seven precincts of 731, which represents a little over 3 per cent.' of the vote of the State. If this ratio should bold good it would result in a net Republican , V r - ana -hfe1 leave tho Than III nm n mi by a plurality of 15,09. It is probable, however that It will exceed that figure by several thousands. Many Republicans claim as hiffh as 35,000 majority over Kinne. The Democrats concede tbe election of Sherman by about 15,000. In the special election in the Sixth Congressional district, to fin tbe vacancy caused by tbe death of Representative M. K, Cntta, Re pubBean, tbe Indications are that J. P. Cook, Democrat and Green backer, has been elected by a small majority over Edward BL BtOea, Republican." A Dubuque dispatch says: " Dubuque city gives 1.700 majority for Kinne, and tbe county will give him 3,500 ntajuillj. All the advices received here up to 1 o'clock show lartre Democratic gains."

Judge Seed does not run over 1,500 behind the rest Of tbe Republican State ticket. The result in tbe Sixth Congressional district is sttt! in doubt, but Cook, fnsionlst, is probably elected by JOB to S00 majority.

For the first quarter of 1883 tho average liabilities of each trader was $13,340, and for the second quarter there were (14,070. Ths failures for the third quarter of this year were 1,137 less than for tho flrst quarter, and 45 lest than for the second quarter. In tho first, second and third quarters of 1883 the average of liabilities to each failure in trade was respeouvely 818,244,(10,333 and (11,311. The distinctive feature of tho quarter's return is the surprising increase of liabilities in Eastern and Middle States, caused largely by the disasters in the leather trade at Boston, and in tho clothing trado in New Vork. These disasters, and those directly dependent thereupon, wont far to bring up the weekly average of failures for the third quarter of tho year. The immediate cause of this increase in mercantile failures exists id tho overtrading made possible by tho apparent ease with which tho trafilo in commercial paper is carried on. Its abuse is serious. To chock it two things are needed to be done: 1. The organization of trade should in some way bo carried further to the end that the sale am) purchase of mercantile paper may be carried on more openly than now. S. A general bank rupt law should bo cnactedpeedlly with severe penalties for such abuses as have been shown to exist.

The popular impression seems to be that single women are placed at an extreme disadvantage whon brought into competition in tho matrimonial grace with thoso of their sex who have once worn the orango blossoms and who have been compelled by cruel fate to assume the habiliments of woe. Strange to say, widows themselves do not share in this almo t universal opinion. There is nto oue of them who does not believe that she is heavily "handicapped," so to say, iu the contest, and who would not gladly exchange places, if she

could, with her single sisters. The at

tractive widow, nevertheless) carries oft

the bachelor sweepstakes very often,

leaving her spinster rivals pale with envy and wild with rage. Her conquests, however, are very much exaggerated. Widows who have not a com

fortable mnk account or a corner lot

find it as difficult to elicit a proposal as other dowerless members of the sex.

Whom we first love wo rarely marry

has become a truism, and herein lies

the advantase of the widow with a

largo dower right. The old admirers return and the old flame is easily re

lighted, tfeauty in distress with a

goodsized package of Government bonds is something quite irresistible. New

York Journal. Kuw York Bar-ltoant for Women. "But let me tell you a curious fact,

of which you are probably not aware. I could name a dozen or so thoroughlyrespectable dressmakers' establishments in New York where the wholo of the business is not dressmaking. Home of

the prohls of these places come from the sale of beverages. The love of conviviality is not confined to men alone. Men have their saloons, where they can go every time thoy feci inclined to do so. But a lady who wants a gloss of champagne or a brandy julep, what is she to do? She cannot take it in her own house because the servants would talk, or the children being around would see the bad example, and no lady can, of course, go to any bar-room or restaurant to drink. Her refuge, then, is the convenient dressmaker's. "Tho bills sent in by the modiste, therefore, as you readily see, aro not always as exorbitant as they seem. The husband exclaims at the outrageous charge of 4(10 for a dress that he can see nothing extraord nary about. But tho wifo knows, though she cannot admit it, that $2(.i: on that bill represents champagne and so on. Tho drinks are occasionally giv n gratis, but you may bo surii that they uppear in some form in the bUl." A lawyer who has hod several cases which he has compromised very cleverly for ono of these big dressmakers wus asked about this, and he said: "Of coarse you won't quote me, but there is a great deal of truth in what you say. I know that my client, in detailing her busint s-i, had told me that she could not got on at all if she did not satisfy the demands of her customers in this wny. They would leave her and go to the dry-goods houses, where they would havo to pay less for their work. These feminine bar-rooms have become a necessity of the dressmaking trade. Xcw i'ork Journal.

"Miss Grundy" and "Fay." "Miss Grundy" owes the beginning of her success as ft society correspondent to the choice of her nom de plume, as she herself confesses. The editor of the Graph', to whom her first letter was sent, was in the act of throwing it into the waste-basket, whon he was struck with the name, "Miss Grundy," remembering, doubtless, the oft-quoted line, "What will Miss Grundy say?" Tho letter was published, and Miss Grundy became the mouthpiece for fashionable-society gossip. Miss Grundy's real name is Mils Austine Snead, and jlter mother, who has a clerkship in one jof the Government departments, is "fay," of the Louisville Courier-Journal. They are Kentuekians by birth, but havo become Washingtonians by adoption, having lived here for many years. Both aro indefatigable in their pursuit of society intelligence, and both are fond of society for its own alluremauts as well. They go everywhere and find out pretty much everything. In winter they are tireless devotees of society, and never weary, apparently, of the endless rounds of bolls, gormans, receptions and calls. In summer they make a tour of the principal watering places, writing lettors from Long Branch, Saratoga, Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs and othor resorts. In short, no society ladies aro gayer than this mother and daughter, who live by criticizing and commenting upon the foibles of that society whioh they themselves so much enjoy. "Miss Gruady" says : "I believe there are no two happier people in the world than my mother mid inysolf," and I have no reason to disbelieve her. Mrs. and Miss Snoad appear more like sisters than mother and daughter, and I have even heard tho latter spoken of jocularly as "the youngest oldest one." The daughter is quite near-sighted, but that does not prevent her seeing more than is visible to many stronger eyes. Whon she puts on her eye-glasses you may rest assured that nothing escapes her vigilant glances, from the trimmings on one's dress to the minutest details of a

One Way Left, Papa, who has an idea that ho is carrying o:i my education ever since I left school, in a kind of a broad, general way, pounces upon me occasionally with a set of absurdities which he calls practical questions. "Fulana," ho said, suddenly, the other morning, ai he laid down the newspaper, "what would you do if you were left penniless and alone in tho world?" "I should earn my own living," I returned promptly, and feeling quite convinced that my answer was a posor. "My dear child," ho said, b.mignantly, "yon remind me irresistibly of Mario Antoinette. Uf courso yon would earn it, but how?" I must confess I did not know whic'i way to turn. 1 can make a lxd, I can take care of a baby, and I once learned to make an omelette, but evorv one can do those things. Besides, 1 do not choose to bo cither a nurse or a chambermaid, or a cook, and I know that papa meant to say, "In what ladylike manner would you win a livelihood?" There is field enough for women everywhere; it is the ladies that are looking about for something to do, in whioh they will not lose cast. Of course. I have read all the impracticable suggestions of those ladies who write books for such people, for I am an omuiverot.s reader. The funny thing about them it that they never help any ono on. They aro lectures to the lucky ones. I saw something tho other day about women studying arch lecture, ' and I thought that would be rather a good idea to spring upon papa. But I suddenly thought of Helen in Howells'new story of "Woman's Koason." I had left her last month, very sore of heart over tho rejection of her decorated jars. That scheme had failed; but I knew Howells to be a man of wonderful resource, and I felt quite sure ho would set her up in some nice, aristocratic business in the Juno number. It came in that very afternoon, and I looked Helen up immediately. She was dead broke and had touched her principal. I had always been led to believe that this is a very terrible thing to do. What she would have done if she had not had any principal, the novelest does not say. He leaves her engaged. Her lover is wrecked on adosert island, but I feel qufa sure the money will hold out long enough to pay her expenses and buy her tronsssou when he comes home. All tho same the story did not help me to my answer. So when papa repeated his question at dinner time more plainly there was nothing left for me to answer but the truth. "Papa," I said, "there is but ono thing the world allows a lady to do to earn her own living without losing caste." "And what is that, Fulana?" "To marry man." Poetry and Turnips. It has been stated by some gushing poet in a turbulant avalanche of wild, highly-colored words that, although there are many epieurian treats in this sad commercial vale oi ours, thero is is not a single one in the whole rosary that begins to make anything like a decent approximation to the little flat, white turnip that he used to purloin in the Held out by the woods. Ho tells wit'i great pathos how he used to go gunning on Saturday when there was no school. And how he wandered through orchards with other boys, and knocked the song-birds off the low-hanging limbs. And how jealous the other boys were of him because he had a gun; and how they followed him and offered to carry the birds, and fetch them out of the water, if ho would only let them tire tbe gun off once. And how he let Bill Murphy tire it off, because Bill could lick any boy of his size in the school, and it was an honor to be seen with him, and to enjoy his friendship. And then he goes on to stato that he was afraid to g- homo to his dinner for fear he would le detained to chop wood and study his Sunday-school lessons, and in that case he would not be able f o smoke. At the dinner-honr it was that the turnip was enjoyed, because the apples were all gone, and he hadn't shot any birds to cook. When he started out in tho morning lie concluded ho would havo at least half-a-dozen quail to roast, and that is the reason he didn't bring anything along. He didn't even bring toast to put the quail on, for he knew he would got all the toast ho wanted in after years in restaurants.

And then he tolls how he crept into

-the held, and plucked tho turnips from

the ground, uud went out ana sat on a

rail-fonco under the berry-tree, and

pocketed ull tho turnips except one,

whioh he hold in his hands and peeled with his teeth, and ate while his face fairly glowed with satisfaction and

turnip.

Wo have been there ourselvos. Wo

ated the turnips: we have glowed with

satisfaction and grinned with glee, and

while we were lying on oar back kicking our feet in the air with delight, the farmer came aorons the field shouting like an Indian, and swinging a piece of

And we suddenly got upon our feet

and ran, because it was Saturday, and

we didn't have our school-day shingles on. And we remember how the farmer

shouted, and how we ran and ran and ran until the farmer gave up the chase,

for fear it would take him too long to

return home if he pursued us further. And it was the thrilling excitement

of the chase that made the turnip bo

good, and we shall never forget one or the othor. But when a man comes forth and states that tho little white purpletopped turnip is far superior to any epicurean treat extant, we think he must be a poet who is unacquainted with swell restaurants.

Haw Dickens Drank. When Capel first poke here his delivery was marked by that infernal Anglicism which made Dickt ns so odious and boresome, namely, tho rising inflection at the end of every sentence. You always felt when hearing Dickens as though you wanted to jump on him and pnll him down to the terminal landing place whioh he persistently and Offensively avoided. I don't think there was ever a better illustration of how odious genius can bo than was afforded in the readings of Mr. Dickens. At that time I was employed on the Brooklyn Eaqie and slung my pen as dramatic critic Of necetsity, I saw Mr. Diekens repeatedly, whom I fortunately met in private as well as public. He was business from the top of his bald head to the bottom of his foot. Ho was hero for one purpose to make and keep the American dollar. He wove himself out in the effort to recoup his fortune. That ho made a tremendous pile we all know, and, doubtless, wore very glad. I was, for one. But it is my solemn conviction that he didn't spend during his stay here $100. Hi gave nothing away, and his expense,-' were all defrayed by tlio people wh( brought him over. Like all Englishraet of his grade, Dickens was a very heavy drinker. I shall never forget gtn; into a little room off Plymouth Church lecture room, and finding there a Lottie of brandy and two bottles of champngno which were brought for the delectation of the reader, who, to be sure, asked one or two gentlemen thero to join in the ceremony, but his acting was a shallow farce, for while they did have an opportunity of touching glasses once, he allowed it to be clearly and distinctly understood that the refreshment) were there for him. and not for his friends. After drinking a good deal, Dickons became red in the face, arid bis reading, which was bad at all times, degenerated into a most tedious process. Mr. Thaokeray. after drinking, became talkative and'genial and good-natured and pleasant., and showed himself an amiable old gentleman. Dickens didn't. He was cross,' irritable and morose, and it was never a difficult matter to get him into a heated and offensive discussion. "Howard" in Boston Herald.

How the Wind Stirs Up the Sea. One of tho first things to observe in a storm is the way the wind acts. It does not blow regularly but In gusts. At one moment it bends over the branches of the trees; in tho next it has loosened its hold and let tbem fly back. We see it swelling out a ship's sails into A full puff, a minute later the sails hang flapping as if they had been struck down. We can account for these phenomena and exp'ain the intermittenre of th wind-puffs by assuming that the molecules of air, displacing oach other, excite a vibratory movement, which gives rise to little undulations following one after another at intervals of a few seconds. The resultant of a series of the undulations is a puff of wind, whiob comes on suddenly and is s followed by a short luJL A series of puffs constitute n, sqnaH, and an aggregation of squalls forms the atmospheric wave which is called a gale of wind. We should naturally expect to observe the fame phases in the formation of sea-waves; and, in fact, if we carefully examine a wave, we shall find that it is covered with very fine ripples, that correspond to the atmospheric vibrations.- The ripples give rise to wavelets, which cor

A Trout that Winks His Eye.

In one of the small streams which go to swell the Ammonoosue river, in the White mountains, there has dwelt foi some years last pasta most noted trout. He is about the only inhabitant of his specirs ia the place, all others having long since been fished out. And he has got to be a big fellow, and as beau

tiful as ho is big. His length is at least a foot and one-half, while hit

woight is variously estimated at from

three to sit, ana even seven ponnas, according to the enthusiasm of the beholder. He eait frequently be seen, shining with his spots gloriously in ths

sun, and looking ripe and luscious m

tho shade, as he moves about or poises

without the least motion under the

bank. It is safe to say that any ono ol

the trout cranks who have been seeking

his captnro this season would willingly pay tenfold his value to pull him out. But all schemes for his undoing have thus far failed. He has been beset at daylight and at twilight. Even the children have been withheld from feeding him for a term, to the end that he might get hungry, and in an unguarded moment snap at a fly or worm concealing tho fated hook. ' But it has beeu all to no purpose. Thoeunniug fish evet plays with his would-be entrappore, it is said. In conveisation with one ol those, 1 was informed with a good deal of feeling that the saucy trout had actually winked ono eye at him on the previous day "Yes, sir," said my interlocutor, "that fish eame np to my fly and nosed it. I trembled so I could hardly hold my rod still. Having satisfied himsolf as to the fly, ho backed off a little and started for another fellow's bait, half a dozen yards further up.
