THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1878-

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20. STEWART'S REMAISS. ' All tint the wires and the press could do to inform the public that the mortal remains of A. T. Stewart, merchant and millionaire, had been taken from their quiet repose in a New York graveyard, has been done. The ghouls who perpetrated the robbery have made good their escape, and the secret hiding place of their swag is unknown, nor hare the detectives of New York been able, bo far as the public is informed, to obtain any clue calculated to lead to the detection and punishment of the robbers. For a pe nod of years A. T. Stewart stood at the very head of the mercantile enterprises of the country. ' He had amassed a vast fortune, . said to be one hundred millions, by patient toil and miserly hoarding. He had no relatives, and so far as the world knows, no friends, if we except his wife, except those who were bound to him by the ties of business. He lived, he grew rich, and at last he died died in a marble palace that cost more than one million dollars. He was buried with aach pomp and circumstance as money can always procure, and slept well. His vast fortune passed into other hands, and the name of the dead man was still used as a sign and a trade mark to facilitate business transactions. Manifestly this cool, calculates g money maker had an ambition not altogether unlike that of the Egyptian kings, and decreed in his mind to build a tomb for himself which in the magnificence of its architecture should eclipse all others on the continent and vie with the most renowned in ages past. To carry out this ambitious idea the cathedral at Ocean Grove, now nearly completed, was to be his final resting place. There is nothing like it in the world, and in a few months the grand display of the reinterment of the dead millionaire was to have taken place. Alas, for vaulting ambitiont And how true the philosophy of Burns that The best laid plans of mice and men Gang ait aglee. The last account we have of the body of A. T. Stewart, though a little apocryphal, is that it was being hoisted over a graveyard fence in a gunny-bag or an old bedtick, and wheeled away, God and the ghouls only know whither. Under this aspect of the ease the princely mausoleum at Ocean Grove must forever remain without its rightful tenant, leaving the final resting place of the dead man a matter of profound mystery and painful uncertainty. We notice in the New York Herald that the princely sum of one hundred thousand dollars has been offered as a reward for the apprehension of the body snatchers, but not one cent for the return of the body. That may remain where the villains have placed it, provided the crime shall be punished. It would seem to the average reader with a heart attoned to the best impulses of our nature that the restoration of the body would have been the supreme thought and wish, and that a much larger sum than one hundred thousand dollars from the great estate of the deceased would have been offered that his ambition might reach its highest aim, which was that his body might rest beneath the monumental spire of Ocean Grove Cathedral until the morning of the resurrection. But we notice that promptly after the fact that the robbery had taken place Judge Hilton advised Mrs. Stewart not to expend a ninepence for such a purpose. What Judge Hilton's motive may bare, been it is difficult to diyine, unless it be that after Mrs. Stewart's death his fortune will be still further enlarged by the estate of his deceased friend. Or it may be that Judge Hilton hankers after Stewart's place in the Ocean Grove tomb. We notice a purpose on the part of some one to turn to benevolent account the robbery of which we write. Whether In good earnest or otherwise we are not able to say, but the following letter published in the New York Herald explains itself: A COMPANY'S" OFFER. Ihe following letter came to the Herald throagn the malls yesterday. It may be in tended for what some would-be wag would call a Joke, bat if it Is not the suggestion concerning tbe "expense" will strike every one as about tne coolest thiog of the season: To tbe ' Editors ot the New York Herald If the executors of tbe late A. T. Stewart will donate !juj,U0J for some needed public charity la the city of new York the whereabouts of hi remains will b Immediately divulged and not one penny will be asked for the expence we have Incurred A Company It would be difficult to conceive of a grimmer transaction than the extortion of any sum of money for benevolent purposes by virtue of a crime that shocks the sensibilities of all good people, and we are led to conclude that the letter is designed as a side issue to cover the tracks of the thieves and make the detection less probable. Taken all in all the affair is well calculated to excite grave reflections, and in future very rich men will be likely to bave their tombs as burglar proof as have been their safes where their wealth was stored. HOST. GILBERT DE LA. HATTR. The fact that the Rev. De La Matyr will act with tbe republicans In tbe bouse on all except financial Issues is not calculated to encourage disappointed congressional candidates to hope for a majority in favor of a clear steal Cincinnati commercial. Tbe latest authentic utterances of Dr. De La Matyr upon political questions do not warrant the statement of the Commercial with regard to the position he will occupy In congrets. Indeed, they are directly the reverse of the Commercial's announcement. Dr. De La Matyr indicates no purpose to act with the republican party at all upon any question, though there are questions likely to occur in the Forty-sixth Con. gress upon which democrats and republicans may unite, for fortunately for the country there are a class of measures which do not relate to partisan ascendency. Dr. De La Matyr owes his present position to the demo cratic party. He was absolutely elected by democratic votes, ' and was sustained by the democratic , press In one of the most bitter congressional campaigns of the year. The repuolican press, stump speakers, candidates, oiEce holders, lickspit. ties, vagabond, dog, whelp, bound, and cur of low degree, massed their entire wealth of billingsgate, vituperation, slander and mendacity to defeat him. Every lit that malig xdty could invent that it was believed would ldia making headway against Dr. Dt U

Matyr was put in circulation. He was denounced as a socialist of the German type, as a communist of the French type, and as a bad man generally. So intense was the hostility of radical leaders that they Invaded the sacred precincts of his religious convictions, and even sought to make his faithful ministerial record a means of damning him In public esteem. They sought to blacken his character, to rob him of influence, and to leave him a social, moral, political and religious wreck. In all of this, however, they met with" signal defeat. Tbe democrats were honestly assured that Dr. De La Matyr was vastly superior to John Hanna in every particular; that be had more brain power, a larger soul, and better purposes than his competitor, and hence they cast their votes for him. Under such circumstances it is preposterous to suppose that Dr. De La Matyr can affiliate with the radical party. Admitting that the doctor had formerly been identified, in so far as he took any part in politics, with the radical party, it has occurred in thousands and tens of thousands of instances that men of his type have broken loose from radical trammels and expanded to the full proportions of conscientious men; and Dr. De La Matyr, be it said to the credit of his head and bis heart, boldly announced his emancipation from degrading party subservency, and slood forth in the mastery of his superior abilities as the champion of the welfare of the people. In this, call him greenbacker, national or what not, he becomes in all essential regards fully identified with the democratic party. Indeed Dr. De La Matyr goes so far, and we ire satisfied with his boundary line, as he names Thomas A. Hendricks as his choice for president In 1880. If there were nothing else, this would be sufficient to indicate the drift of his political sentiments; but there are other questions involved, in the discussion of which Dr. De La Matyr will be found battling In the ranks of the democracy of the country. The financial issue, now so prominent, and which is not likely to be obscured for some time to come, involves a vast deal more in its settlement than the question of fiat money. It embraces in Its grasp all questions relating to the business welfare of the country its industries, the development of its resources, the employment of millions of working people forced into idleness by the curse of radical rule end when all these questions are considered there will be little else upon which divisions will be of special importance ; for these relate to the reduction of the expenses of the government, the reduction of taxation and the introduction (A an era of honest government. Taking this view of the subject, we have no apprehensions as to the course the representative of the Seventh district in congress will pursue.

He put about four bushels of leached ashes In his barnyard and threw out to then about a shoveful each day. They ail ate it with evident relish. After turning them out to pasture, he put one peck of dry ashes per week on the ground in the pasture. They ate it all up and gnawed off the grass where it had been lying. The cattle began to Improve, gaining flesh and looking better than they had for several yean. He now gives one quart of ashes, mixed with the same quantity of salt to twelve head of cattle, about once a week, and finds it to agree with them wonderfully."

HEATED BY STEAM.

The City of Lockport Wanned by the Holly System. Ad idea Wblen Promise to be Generally Adopted. f Correspondence New York: World. Lockport, the home of Birdsill Holly, is a lively little city on the Niagara Falls division of tbe New York Centra), 21 miles east of the Niagara Falls, and has in it between 15,000 and 20,000 people. The town's most notable feature is that its public buildings and private dwellings are heated by a system of pipes general to the town. Birdsill Holly, who first conceived the idea, and who has since developed it, was born in Auburn, and is now 58 years of age. - He has made many inventions, several of which are of recognized merit His beet known invention is the Holly system of water works. I called upon Mr. Holly today, and he took me out on a tour of Inspection along the line whence three miles or more of pipes radiate from the central boiler house. He said that he first gave serious thought to the subject of heating large districts by steam in 1866, and soon began a series of experiments to test the condensation, loss cf heat and other essential points. When be had overcome a number of obstacles and felt sure ot the entire feasibility of tbe practical workings of the system he tried to get the Holly Water Works Company to take hold of it but did not succeed. In regard to his Lockport operations he said: "In January of last year the Holly Steam Company was organized, with a capital of $25,000. We then set about giving the system a thorough test Last winter was a variable and peculiarly trying one, but the results were entirely satisfactory, and the citizens of Lockport pronounced it a perfect success. We have testimonials from all who have ussd the steam, showing that they think highly of it" AmoDg these testimonials is one from the mayor, II. D. McNeil, who says the heating has been done "to the perfect satisfaction of customers." and also considers it especially useful in keeping the fire hydrants from freezing in winter, for its adaptability to the extinguishment of fires without the use of steam fire engines, and concludes by faying: "I consider the invention one of the most vainable of the age, and rejoice that our city is provided with it." Mr. Holly showed me the boilers wherein the steam is made. There are three boilers, two of them horizontal, 5 by 1G feet and one upright Two ere of GO-horse power each and one of 30. Last winter no more than two of them were in operation at one time, and frequently but one. Tbe building is designed for six boilers, the other three to be added when required. The boilers now in operation consume from two and one-half to three tons of coal daily, and a pressure of 35 pounds Is maintained. These convey heat through three and a half miles of pipe at the present time, to an equivalent of 85 dwellings, as against about 40 last winter, showing an increase of patronage of over 100 per cent in a single season. Owing to the scattered location of the bouses, some of the streets having steam service being but sparsely built np, Mr. Holly lays that more radiators could be attached in 1,000 feet of a business street like Broadway, for example than in a mile on a Lockport street. The pipes, which are laid three or four feet underground, but above thegaj and water pipes, are covered with a nonconductor, and inserted in logs of wood bored for the parpoje. The pipes used are graduated In diminishing sizes in tbe ratio of the distance from the boiler house. They decrease in size from eight inches to one and one-half inches, to correspond to the amount of steam to be passed, and much smaller and less expensive pipes are required than would be necessary by tne low pressure system commonly employed in single dwellings. The natnral obstacles of contraction and expansion of the iron used in conveying steam long distances bave been overcome by a simple but effective device. An expansion junction service box is placed at intervals of 100 to 200 feet throughout the entire line ot mains. Technically, this provides for the free longitudinal contraction and expansion of the mains, and from this box the service pipes run to the basements of the buildings to be heated. Inside the junction box the service pi Des are fitted with an adjustable hood, which, being turned downward, collects the condensed water as it accumulates, carrying it forward to the regular valve inside the cellar walls. Reaching tbe valve, the water of condensation being at a degree of heat due to a pressure of fifty pounds to the square inch, it is wire drawn, by which reduction of pressure is largely reconverted into steam, and thence is carried on to the radiators, where it is again condensed. By this arrangement the consumer living close to the boiler house has no advantage over tbe one two or three miles distant, for in either case the main pressure of fifty or sixty pounds is reduced to two or three pounds before delivery for use. The loss of vitality or heating power of the steam when conveyed through long dis tances, as shown by careful experiments and verified in actual use by the Holly system, is found to be so very small as hardly to come Into the calculations of the company. Or, in other words, steam heat can be furnished by boilers of sufficient capacity, through pipes of sufficient size, to an area of four miles square from one set of boilers. Mr. Holly explained to me the radiators and the method by which steam heat Is measured out to customers. The Holly system admits of the use ot all kinds of radiators, both direct and indirect The basis of the price charged consumers is that a given quantity is equal to so much coal. Hence, when the meter registers a given amount of service in steam heat rendered, it Is paid for on the basis of so much coal consumed at so much per ton. In steam served through a pipe, as in gas, the meter plays an important part, and Mr. Holly has given special attention to the subject of producing a meter for accurately measuring out steam heat Tbe result of his experiments in this direction Is as admirable as it is simple, for it is a combined meter and regulator. There is a valve, exactly like the slide valve to a high pressure steam engine, which admits the steam from the street main. This is connected by a small pipe with another which admits the steam to the radiators. Steam gauges show the pressure before and after passing through these valves. When I examined the regulator in tbe office of the company the pressure on tbe street main was between 20 and 30 pounds; between the two yalves the pressure was from eight to 12 pounds, and on the radiators five pounds. Tbe latter pressure is maintained on the radiators at the office constantly, so there is no possibility cf explosion or danger. Over the regulator the new meter was doing guard duty. This is a piece of clock work, tbe working of which is regulated by a pendulum. A screw records the consumption of one dollar's worth of steam at each revolution, which is shown by an indicator on the face. At the end of the screw is a disk, the periphery of which is graduated to hundredths or cents. The motion of the recording screw is accelerated or retarded by means of a small link similar in principle to that which drives the side valves of a locomotive and is connected with the valves of the regulator, rising as they are opened or falling as they close. Meters at once suggest the question ot cost and bring one naturally to the economic view of the question. When the Holly Company began to heat Lockport the only promise it made was to do the work as well and at no greater cost than the ordinary method. This promise has been more than fulfilled so far as I can learn from conversations with citizens and buainew men. Mr. O. a Wright gentleman who lives la Cottage street, uki the steam heat, nd

expresses ' himself as entirely satisfied with the result He has five radiators at his residence, which furnish tbe same beat as one furnace or four base burners. It cost $143 to introduce the steam heating apparatus. His bill for steam heat for eight months (October to June) was $39.50. His coal bill for the same time, he says, would bave been $45, while be bas avoided all the trouble which comes from caring for one large fire and several smaller ores. ' i ..." : . - v ,' One radiator used by a scientific man, who has taken careful observations ( f the workings of the system, cost between $30 and $40 to put In. His bill for eight months was not half a dollar less than for coal the previous winter; but the service was more than satisfactory. A lady who bas the steam radiators expressed special gratification with the Holly system from purely a housekeeper's standpoint She says there is no coal dust and her paint doesn't require half the attention it did when she bad stoves in the house, while her furniture is always cleaner. It should be borne in mind that there are several things beside the mere furnishing of beat which the Holly Steam Combination Company undertakes to do, and with success. Daniel K. Humphrey, at his Locust street wood yard, obtains his power from the street mains for running a twenty-eight-inch buzz-saw and an ax for working cordwood into stove wood.- He says he always bas ample power from this source. John Noble, U9 Market street runs a ten borse power engine with steam from the street main. Greenhouses and conservatories can be admirably heated by this system, preserving an equitable temperature; laundry work also can be done by it, and it is expected that cooking of every description can be done by a proper utilization bf the steam. Mr. Holly already has a "cooker" which will boil. One more virtue claimed for the Holly system is that it can be made useful in removing accumulations of ice and snow in large cities. A coil near the curb stone at convenient distances will melt the ice and snow into water, which can make its escape through tbe sewers. The Holly system is now in use at Auburn, In this state, and will soon be in operation at Detroit, Mich., and Springfield, Mass. Tbe shops of construction and depots for supplies are located at Lockport, and employ 250 men all the year round. The Romance of Mrs. Iiignton. (.Washington Correspondence Detroit Free Press. The story of this much oereaved lady's life Is a fascinating romance. The only child of one of Philadelphia's most brilliant lawyers Charles McAlister ber mother dying when she was quite young, she became her surviving parent's alL She worshiped him with a wild idolatry, shared his confidences and pleasures, knew all the details of his business and was bis helper, friend and companion in all his tastes and pursuits. She wss the chosen friend of Miss Harriet Lane during the last dasy of southern social supremacy in Washington, and by her singular beauty and elegant accomplishments as a finished linguist was a central attraction in that brilliant society whose memory even is still a theme of wonder aud admiration. The name of Lily was exceedingly appropriate a delicate blonde, with a great shower of pale, golden hair, and eyes "beautifully blue." Her father, anxious to know that bis daughter would have a kindly protecter when he had gone over to "the great majority," thought that the Chevalier Berghmans, secretary of the Belgian legation, was the proper party to undertake that charge, and to wish on the part of the parent was to be obeyed by the daughter, although the proffered husband was as old as the papa. They were married. Mr. McAlister died and the daughter came into actual possession of a magnificent property. Like the Lady Geraldine, she had everything mortal could desire. A town house In Philadelphia, a country seat on the Deleware River, called "Glengarry," a cottage by the sea at Cape May, a winter home in Washington on II. street a summer home in the mountains of Pennsylvania, and coal mines, and railroads on which snorting engines tore over the country. The chevalier and madams lived the happiest of lives. He was scholarly and good, with no end of Flemish phlegm to en joy the honey another bee had garnered for him, but alas for all human happiness, the chevlier died also, leaving as sweet a widow as ever donned weeds to mourn for him, and a little daughter earned Canaille. In due time madame emerged from her self imposed seclusion into society, where she was always an idol. She entertained in all the sumptuous detail her wealth and station permitted, and even royalty had its regal limbs under her mahogany. As regent of the Mt Vernon Association, her name has become a household word. At last madame met with her fate and loved. The grand passion that does not come to all and only once in a life time, if at all as the coal from off the altar laid upon tbe lips of those who truely loved, touched hers. Her conqueror was an Englishman, a clerk In the Alabama claims commission, young; not 24, and as handsome as as Lucifer befoie his falL Madame was nearly double his age, ber beautiful life filled to repletion with gentle charities and generous actions. That charm remained; neither "could age wither or custom stale the infinite variety" of her graces ot mind and accomplishments. He told his love, and tbey were married Christmas week, 187C, the president and Mrs. Grant being among tbe guests at the wedding. What a flutter it created in the dove cotes of younger beauties ! In ber bridal dress madame paid -such a delicate compliment to her lover, that showed the genuine depth of ber passion. It was a robe of white satin over which played the faintest flush of lavender, and tbe garniture was clusters of the loveliest white lilacs. They had not been many months wedded before the pall of a terrible illness fell upon the husband. When he rallied the physicians ordered his native air as a recuperative remedy, and hither they went. But he died in Algeria, Africa, on the 28th of January. A year and a month of wedded life, shadowed with suffering, was all that fate had for this sweet gentle lady, so good and kind to others.

II lata for Farmer. Scientific Farmer. Ir.cresed crops and diminished expenses are tbe remedies for hard times. During the months between now and planting, consider carefully how this remedy may be applied. Begin this autumn by carefully selecting from your crops the seeds for next year's use: for, as we have repeatedly shown, good seed is at tbe foundation otarge crsps. Consider carefully whether to plough in the fall or spring, bringing all your past experience to bear on your decision. Stop all the wastes that you find, and even seek carefully for wastes to be stopped. Review your past failures and successes, and search out the causes which operated, and decide how to obviate the one, and gain the other, the coming season. Carefully reflect on your methods of feeding in the winter months, and ask yourself whether a change of system may not be profitable. A dollar saved here is a dollar earned: and frequently the sale of one kind of produce and the purchase of another brings profit. When hay brings a good price and straw is cheap, can not the straw be fed profitably throtgh tbe use of roots and cotton seed meal, and a balance in money be secured? Have yo i facilities for rearing spring lambs for next June or July xnarketTMore Important still, consider how much land you have which Is not producing and yet which can be made productive. If J'ou nave such land it is certainly folly to eave this capital Idle. Is it a question ol manure? Then caret nil y scheme how manure may be best provided, and whether you can purchase artificial fertilizers and

use them advantagt oasly. Now, before the hurry time, is your opportunity for studying into these things, and deciding what fertilizer is the most promising for you. Have you all the tools tiecessary for your spring work? H not now is tbe time to examine into the merits of various inventions, and to calculate which you can best afford to buy, if at alL Usually a tool can be purchased more advantageoucly in winter than in summer. Often there are too many tools on the farm, but some of which are not adapted to your use. Often aain you do not possess enough; nor cf the right kind. In the winter time reflect on thetc subjects, and have a decision ready when planting time again comes about Carefully look over your year's expenses, and think whether there has not been waste here which may be rectified. Calculate on how much labor you will require for your next year's plans under your past system, and with caution consider how your system maybe Improved so that tbe same or more work can be accomplished with less labor or less money. Be not too ready to adopt the new, but be ever ready to reject the old when your experience indicates that a gain my be expected to follow. Here, as elsewhere, use a wise caution, which is not conservatism, but common sense. GREAT TEMPESTS.

Tbe Sfysterlons Lights In tbe Gnir ot St. Lawrence. Tbe mysterious lights in the gulf and the lower St Lawrence, which are firmly believed by the fishermen to be a warning of great tempests, have, according to the Montreal Herald, been unusually brilliant this season. It is said to be a fact, established by the experience of a century, that when these lights blaze brightly in the summer nights, the fall is invariably marked by great storms. They give the appearance to spectators on the shore of a ship on fire. The heavens behind arc bright and tbe clouds above silvered by the reflection. The sea for half a isile is covered with a sheen, as of phosphorus. The fire itself seems to consist of blue and yellow flames, now dancing high above tbe water, and then flickering, paling and dying out, only to spring up again with fresh brilliancy. If a boat approaches it flies away, moving farther out, and is pursued in yain. The lights are plainly vitible from the shore from midnight until 2 o'clock in the morning. They appear to come from the sea shoreward, and at dawn retire gradually, and are lost in the morning mist Faradis, the French pilot, who took charge of the British fleet under Admiral Sir Hovender Walker when it sailed up the St Lawrence from Boston to Quebec in 1811, declared he saw one ot those lights before that armada was shattered by a dreadful gale on the 23d of August The light be said, danced before his vessel all tbe way up the gulf. Every great wreck that has taken place since Sir Hovender Walker's calamity has been preceded, if tradition is to be believed, by these mysterious lights or rather they have warned tbe mariner of the fatal storm. When the gulf gives up its dead there will be a vest muster. In 1797 tbe French war Hhip La Tribune was lost with 100 souls. In 1805 the British transport Naoas went down.with 800. In 1831 the emigrant ship LadySherbrooke, from Derby to Quebec, was lost, only 32 out of 273 passengers being saved. In 1847 nearly 300 Irish emigrants were lost with the brig Carrier, and 240 more on the Exraouth. By tbe wreck of the Hungarian 225 souls perished February 19, 1860 ; 35 by the loss of the Canadian Jane 4. and 237 when the Anglo Saxon was lost off Cape Race on the 27th of April, 1863. Fishing boats and coasters innumerable have also gone down with all hands, leaving no sign. This fall, if the lights are to believed, and the gulf fishermen say they can not lie, storms of unexampled fierceness will rage from the autumnal equinox until the winter is past A Tie of Stale lu the Next House. IFittsburg Post. If the presidential election goes to the house of representatives in 1881, the constitution declares "a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice." The result of the congressional elections is that tbe democrats have secured an undoubted malaxity in the delegation of 19 states. There is some doubt about the Nevada member, but we iudge that the republican is elected. Conceding them the state, the republicans bave a majority in the delegations of 18 states, and California, by special act of congress, will elect Ler members next year. In tne following 19 states the democrats have a majority: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida. Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Loulniana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texa, Virginia, West Virginia. Tne republicans have secured these 18, if Nevada is included. Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania. If California should elect three of her four members democratic next September, then the democrats will have 20 states and a majority. I! California, however, goes republican, the states will be tied ; that Is, each party will have 19 states, and there can be no choice by the house. In that event the constitution provides the vice president shall become president; but as the probabilities are almost certain that if there is no election of president by the people, neither will there be an election of vice president, the latter will be chosen by the senate from the two highest numbers on the electoral list The vice president so elected will become presi dent on tne ran tire ot tne house to elect - If the democratic party carries a majority of the electoral votes (or a plurality in case there is no choice) it will not again lose the presidency. If no party has a majority of the electoral vota the senate will elect the president and the senate will be democratic after the 4th of March next a democratic majority being already elected. Tbe election i n California, however, next year will be of great Interest, because it will determine the election of president by the house should the state go democratic. If it goes republican it will send the election to the sanate. There will be a struggle for the state to cover accidents. In 1)76 the republicans elected three members one of whom lost his seat in a contest, by a majority of one vote and the democrats one member, making the delegation in the present house stand two and two. The state is close and doubtful. . It is among tbe possibilities or probabilities that tbe candidate voted for by the democrats for vice president in 1881 may become president after the 4th of March, 1831. Calamine.
