SECOND EDITION.

TWO EDITIONS

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening, has a large circulation among farmers and others living outside of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for ONE CHARGE.

THE ELECTIONS.

The summing np of the elections on Tuesday is aboot this: Pennsylvania has gone Republican by a majority of about 30,000.

Tbe Republicans carry Ohio with about 15,000 majority. Nebraska goes Republican some 5,000 majority.

In this State Hendricks is elected Governor by about six or seven hundred majority. The balance of the State ticket including the Congress-men-at-large, with perhaps the exception of the candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, are Republicans.

The Legislature has a Republican majority of 14 on joint ballot. Eight of the eleven District Republican Congressmen are elected.

Gen. Hunter Hunter beats D. W. Voorhees in this district by about 700 majority.

In this county the entire Republican ticket is elected, except the candidate for Clerk. Tbe official returns will be found in out local columns.

ASPECT OF THE CAMPAIGN. The elections in the great States oi Pennsylvania,Indiana,Ohio on Tuesday go to show that the re-election of General Grant is now as certain as any event can be which is not accomplished. And why should he not be re-elected Has he not proved worthy Did he not lead our armies to victory, and give us a whole Union. He has been President for nearly four years, and has learned in that time to so conduct the affairs of Goverment that the .United States is at peace with all the world, and is more respected than ever before. His Presidential life has exhibited the same calm dignity, the same unswerving integrity, the same devotion to duty which characterizad his soldier life.

This is no time for experimenting with a new man and another party. The country has not yet recovered from a spirit of unlawfulness consequent on a great war. This is no time for a weak, vascillating or hasty-tempered man to be President. We know Gen. Grant. He has shown that he will enforce the laws, protect the weak, guard the national honor, and respect tbe rights of all other countries.

Knowing that Goneral Grant possesses all these claims to the confidence of the people, the votes oi Tuesday last and all the political signs indicate that he will not bo put aside for one who has never been tried in any position demanding executive capacity. We acknowledge Mr. Greeley's great ability as an editor, his power as a writer and speaker, and his manliness but a man may be a great editor and yet a poor executive officer—a powerful writer, and yet a vacillating man—an effective speaker and yet a timid statesman We know Grant. He has been tried and found trustworthy. He is riper in experience than he was four years ago, and he will avoid errors into which in experience led him. His next term will leave tho country thoroughly re-united and our burden of debt still moro sensibly diminished—freedom firmly established throughout the land and a nation honored for its justice, honesty and peace fulness. Yes, we know Grant, and in him the people have unmistakably decided to put their trust, M. 1''

Hoy. THO*A8 A. HENDRICKS is elected tbe next Governor is Indiana. His frier da certainly cannot congratulate him upon the result, and we doubt if he is satisfied with tbe position he holds. He expected to use tbe Gubernatorial Chair as a stepping stone to the Senate. The election of a Republican legislature dashes to the ground his hopes in this direction. His associate officers are of the opposite party. Leonidas Sexton is Lieutenant Governor, and so Mr, Heudricks is drnied the privilege of resigning, lor in this case Sexton would step in as a Republican Governor. His position is one not to be envied.

WIIXIAX H. SKWARD died at his home in Auburn, New York, Thursday afternoon, in the seventy second year of his sge. Thus goes out the life of an orator, a reformer and a statesman, whose name has beoa prominent for yearn In the stirring history of ibis nation.

Tw« result of Tuesday demonstrates that elections are ry uncertain things. They are "one of those things a fellah ctn't find out** until the votes are ranted.

THK first almanac, that of Josh Billings—is out lor 1873. Judging from the orthgrapby. the coming year will be one of fitquent bad spells.

TIME TO STOP.

Tho telegraph tells us this week that two moro Communists have been sentenced to be shot. Is it not about time that such nations as entertain Christian ideas of justice and humanity should enter their solemn protest against this continued wholesale slaughter by the French authorities. Accounts of communist executions come to us with sickening regularity, in which the wretched, misguided men and women are taken from prison where they have lain for over a year, and fall beneath the executioner's hand as examples of M.

If the historian of France during the Consulate were asked which of all European nations is most enlightened, he would unhesitatingly reply France! And yet here is a spectacle of imprisonment, deportation and death thai would do credit to the savages of New Zeland.

IN the matter of stage dressing, .America is said to lead the world, the New York theaters showing more expensive wardrobes than either London or Paris can boast of. Usually the dresses belong to the managers, except in the case of some star actress, and by him are ordered along with sceneryt etc., of each new piece. In New York, Mr. Augustin Daly costumes his company more extravagantly than any other manager. The dresses are generally designed by Worth, and cost fabulous sums. Those worn in "Article 47," at the Fifth Avenue Theater, cost over $7,000 in "Diamonds," over f8,oOO, and in "Le Roi Carlotte," one dress alone is valued at $ 1,100, while for twelve, |5,200 werejaidi_^

i-KH«V-H A PTE SATIiHDAV EVENING MAIL, OCTOBER 12, 1872.

Thiers' idea

of justice. Long months ago, the civilized world felt that each of the vengeful parties of France had shed blood enough. The military executions on tbe plains of Satory have already disgusted all porsons who feel that the power of clemency is superior to that of tbe musket. The crimson drama has been so unnecessary, so prolonged, as to excite no inconsiderable apprehensions that the French President may not only do reparable injury to himself and the history of his administration, but create a public revulsion damaging to thecause of Republicanism in France. There is no hope of the bloody work Btopping for lack of victims. The stock of imprisoned communists is yet large enough to constitute a considerable army. Says a contemporary "With a Judicious economy indeportation.there will be enough Communists to provide the Parisians with a weekly fusilade at Satory during the rest of M.Thiers' tenure of power, so that those who apprehend a cessation of those charming spectacles can calm their fears."

As politicians promised us an untaxed breakfast after the first of last Au gust, people naturally looked to see the price of coffee go down instead of up at that time. Strangely enough, however, coffee became higher after the duty was taken off than it wa9 before. Not a few have supposed this rise in price to be the result of a combination of importers or dealers. On the authority of the commercial papers, however such does not appear to be the case, but the rise in this product is primarily duo to the laws of supply and demand. Some of tbe commercial writers predict that coffee will be higher before it is lower, and state the cheap coffee will not be known for a v«ar or two at the best.

THE Presidential election will not take place in all tbe States on the same day, as seems to be generally imagined. It will begin in Louisifftia on the 4th of Novomber. All the other States except Texas, will follow with their votes on the 5th, and Texas will close up the business with a four days election from tho 5th to the 8th inclusive. Louisiana Is required to vote on the 4tb—one day before tbe other States— by a special act of Congress passed at the last session.

THERK are some sensible ideas in a protest made in Harper's Bazaar against children's parties." The inquiry is properly made, "why should the little folks bo taught to imitate the dissipation of their elders before their time Are there not enough games of romp and fun that they must needs resort to the afflictions of later years for amusements? Why should a child's healthful spirits be tied up in a bundle of fashionable clothing? Why should a child's free mind b6 set in the grooves of society conversation and manner?"

THKSK are nice little particulars to find in tho British Medical Journal: Every fklse hair has upon tbe end of it a "nodosityevery nodosity has fifty "psorperms every psorsperm has an indefinite number of "pseudonsvisellao." All these sgreeable creatures are frisking sbout in every ball-room, says tbe gentleman who is good enough to give this information to the public, but he does not say how the average danoer will go to work to navigate hlmsell and his partner among them

"THBchief charm about digging potatoes," says Dr. Helland, "consists in the fact that each hill is a sort or lottery you may get many or lew, large or small, potatoes. The uncertainty of the result in each case keeps the mind in a state of delightful and speculative expectation." Until we read this we never knew there was any charm in digging potatoes.

THK progress of luxury is strikingly illustrated in a modern sea voyage. A letter written from on board an Atlantic steamship says: "I hear tbe notes of a piano, the lowing of a cow, the cackle of hens, indeed, all tho noises of tb« barn-yard, here in mid-ocean.

SECRETS OF LIFE.

Showing Thai One Thing May fie Done as Well as Another.

OR, THE TRUE WAY OP MAKINO TWO ENDS MEET.

It is strange what creatures of circumstance, what weak slaves of habit we all are, after all. Why, most of us fall into a rut early in our lives, and in that groove we roll on year after yeir, and it keeps on growing deeper and deeper, until ac last we can't get out even it we would, and so, much of our own powers and our own capacities we know nothing of whatever. Nothing so grows upon us, and worms itself into our very being as the induldence in luxuries. It is only another turn to the old proverb, "Familiarity breeds contempt," for habitual use converts a luxury into a seenftng necessity. One need but look around for a moment and observe how invariably increased prosperity awakes new desires, and the appetite grows with what it feeds upon. Mark in one man's life the progress from poverty to opulence, and see how the same old struggle to make two ends meet follows him up. The change from luxury to necessity is inevitable. Yet the great majority of the world could live on half what it spends and be stronger, healtheir and happier but just because it moves blindly in these grooves of habit it must go on wasting its money.

1

ECONOMY 1N LIFE.'

The general ignorance of the quantity and quality of food necessary for life furnishes a good example of this, and some experiments recently made by Dr. Dio Lewis come in just here as excellent illustrations and convincing demonstrations of its truth. We present them along with some yery timely remarks by which they are introduced by the Cincinnati Commercial

ri

To tbe ayerage merchant, or manufacturer, or professional man, says the Cincinnati writer, who provides for his family on an income of from three to ten thousand a year, and thinks himself highly economical the while, it would seem next to Incredible that men with large families can subsist on less than one thousand dollars a year. It is astonishing how artificial nearly all our wants are, and how quickly most of the things that we are accustomed to consider necessaries disappear into tbe catalogue of luxuries the moment we are constrained to do without them.

ARTIFICIAL WANTS.

There are thousands of people, for example, who fancy their daily or less frequent carriage exercise to be not only constitutional, but essential to their health and comfort. Yet there are millions who never take a ride in their lives, unless an occasional indulgence in the luxury of a street car may be considered an exception. Again, to the multitude of the dwellers in cities, what they are pleased to consider the exigencies of appearance demand an expenditure on clothing of fro in two hundred to five hundred dollars a year each. But nearly all country people, and the vast majority of city residents, consume on the dress of themselves and families rather below, than above the average of fifty dollars to each person. The rent question it is needless to name, since the difference betweeu one bouse and another will frequently represent an amount of money that would keep one or two families in comfort for a year. As to servants, (or what we Americans almost universally denominate "help,") the average well to housekeeper seldom errs on tbe side of employing too few, and, whether one, two or a dozen, tboy aro all considered indispensable adjuncts to a comfortable existence. Yet hardly any of our wants could bo more entirely artificial than this, as is shown in the tact that the ancestors of most of us always did their own work, of all descriptions, without any (or only occasional) aid, and by the further fact that the larger part of civilized mankind to-day contrive to get along without servants.

Say.

CHEAP LIVING. FJ.

But it is in the food expenditnre~Of families that the most varied and interesting experience comes to enlighten the seeker after means of solving the problem of living. Givlnga minimum of cash to get out of it a maximum of provisions for family subsistence is the

roblem before the multitudes day by Now, there are some facts in physiological science which will have to be" more widely knowu and practised upon, before those who are compelled to study economy in supplying their tables will have learned tho rudiments of success in making both ends uieet. One of these facts Ts that Americans generally (and American laborers as well) eat about twice as much meat (the most expensive of all food) as is essential to a healthy and vigorous existence. Another fact is, that the consumption of floar bread (which is universal among all classes of our working people) furnishes half the nutriment derived from unbolted wheat, at about double tbe cost. Tbe process commonly used to make superfine white flour gets rid of the most nutrious portion of the wheat. The hull or bran, and tbe gluten are usually removed in bolting the flour, leaving little of tbe original grain except the starch, which is far inferior as food to the gluten, the essenco of the nutritive principle in wheat. It has beon shown conclusively that flour bread alone would sustain life only a few weeks whereas the wheat eaten in its natural condition, without bolting, would supply all the needed elements in the human body, and support even a vigorous worker for an indefinite period.

USELESS LUXURIES.

Animal food, though perhaps essential to give variety and a inodorate stimulus to the human diot, is consumed in quantities so disproportionately large as to be injurious rather than l» ficial to tuvllb. Plenty of families think they cannot possibly get along without meat three times a day, and more any on tbe average, at least fifteen cents a pound, In our principal cities, tbo cxpensiventts of making it be the leading article of tood b»-c"ti»cs apparent when we contrast it With the price oi wheat unbolted, or rye meal, or cracked wheat, which contains double the nutriment, mi a coot of froui three to five cents a pound. O tui*al and hulled corn are ill rh^-j er, and there are many wavs of cookimr and t»rvingall these grains bich nder them delicious lood to altuo*i any paint*.

As a very markablo sample of hat

may be done in the direction of absolute economy of living, by those who are disposed to try, we cite the following inventory of a week's diet, and its cost, from the actual experience of Dr. Dio Lewis, a well-known physician and writer, living in Massachusetts: "It is now Saturday afternoon, and I will tell you in confidence a littlo of my personal private experience during the past week.

HALF A WEEK'S PROVENDER. "On Sunday morning last I thought I would try for a week tbo experiment of living cheaply. Sunday breakfast, bulled Southern corn, with a little milk. My breakfast cost three cents. I took exactly the samo thing for dinner. Food for the day, six cents, I never take any supper. Monday breakfast, two cents worth of oat meal, in the form of porridge, with one cent's worth of milk. For dinner, two cent's worth of whole wheat, boiled, with one cent's worth of milk. Food for Monday, six cents. Tuesday breakfast, two cent's worth of beans, with half a cent's worth of vinegar. For dipner, one quart of rich bean porridge, worth one cent, with four slices, of coarse bread, worth two cents. Food for Tuesday, five and a half cents. Wednesday breakfast, hominy made of Southern corn—perhaps the best of all food for laboring men in hot weather— two cent's worth, with one cent's worth of sirup. For dinner, a splendid beef stew, the meat of which cost two cents. A little extravagant, you see. But, then, you know, "a snort life and a merry one." Perhaps you don't believe that the meat was purchased for twocents? But it was, though. The fact is, thatfroih an ox weighing eight hundred pounds net you can purchase certain parts weighing about one hundred pounds, for three cents per pound. Two-thirds of a po.und make more stew than I could 6at. There was really enough for two of us. But, then, you know how careless and reckless we Americans are in regard to our table expenses, always getting twice as much as we need. I must not forget to say that these coarse, cheap portions of the animal are tbe best for a stew. The very genius of waste seems to have taken possession of me on that fatal day. I poured into my stew all at once, slap dash, a quarter of a cent's worth of Leicestershire sauce, and as if to show that it never rains but it pours, I closed that gluttonous scene by devouring a cent's worth of hominy pudding. Food for Wednesday, eight and a quarter cents. The gross excess of Wednesday led to a very moderate

AND THE OTHER HALF

Thursday breakfast, which consisted of oat-meal" porridga and milk, costing about two and a half cents. For dinner, cracked wheat and baked beans, two cents' worth of each, milk one cent's worth. Food for Thursday cost seven and a half cents. "Friday breakfast, Southern hulled corn anu milk, costing three cents. For dinner, another of those gourmand surfeits which so disgraced the history of Wednesday. Expenses tor the day eight and a quarter cents. "This morning when I went to the table I said to my self, 'What's the use of this economy And I mado up my mind for this day at least I would sink all moral restraints and give up the reins to appetite. 1 have no defence or apology for what followed. "Saturday breakfast, I began with one cent's worth of oat ineal porridge, with a teaspoonful of sugar, worth a quarter of a cent then followed a cent's worth of cracked wheat, with half a cent's worth of milk then the break fast closed with two cents' worth of milk, and one ccnt's worth ofryeand Indian bread. For dinner, I ate half of a small lobster, Which cost three cents, and one cent's worth of coarse bread, and one cent's worth of hominy salad, and closed with two cents' worth of cracked wheat and milk. Cost of the day's food, twelve and three quarter cents. In all these statements only the cost of material is given. "Cost for the week fifty-four and a quarter cents.

RATHER EXPENSIVE AFTER ALL. "Of course I don't pretend everybody can live in thisluxurious way. It isn't everybody who can afford it. I could have lived just as well, so far as health and strength are concerned, on half the money. Besides on three days I ate too much altogether, and suffered from thirst and dullness. But then J. may plead that I worked very hard, and really needed a good deal moro food than idlers. "By the way, I weighed myself at the beginning of tne week, and found that it was just two hundred and twelve pounds. Since dinner to-day I weighed again, and found that I balanced two hundred and twelve and a half pounds, although it has been a week of warm weather, and I have had unusual demands lor exertion of various kinds. "But let me feed a family of ten Instead of one person, and I will give them the highest health and strength upon a diet which Vrill cost not much more than two dollars for tho ten persons for a week. Let me transfer my experiment to tho Far West, whore wheat, corn, oats and beef are so cheap, and the cost of feeding my family often would be so ridiculous that I dare not mention it, lest you laugh at me. "And so far from my family group being one of ghosts or skeletons, I will engage that they shall be plumper and stronger, healthier and happier, with clearer skins, brighter eyes sweeter breaths, whiter teeth, and, in addition, that they shall live longer than your Delmonlco diners, eachofwbom spends enough at a single dinner to feed my family of ten for a week. And last, but not least, they shall enjoy their meals more than your Delmonlco diners."

A WAIL quite as despairing as the legendary "cry of the lost soul" goes up from the older inhabitants of Japan A letter has been addressed to the Mikado by one of tbe Princes of his Empire. He touchlngly laments tbo influx of new ideas and customs and tbe invasion of "Western barbarians," and sees that unless in the present crisisJapan veers round and returns to tbe good old days and customs of yore, it must necessarily fall nnder their sway. The presence of foreign ships in their ports, railroads cutting across their hitherto sacred soil, and telegraph wires stretched through the air are all bad eneugh, but no word* are strong enough to convey tbe sor row, the anguish which the Mikado's appearance in public, to tbo indifferent gaze of foreigners, has filled him,
