THB election in New York occurs next Tuesday. A correspondent represents the Republicans as hopeful of earrying the State. If they do, it will be for the first time jsinoe 1872. The party is united and harmonious on a hard money platform, while the Democrats do not take a firm stand for either hard or soft mouey and are trying to carry water on both shoulders.
LCCK is a strange thing. Col. Stone, who sold "Maud S.," the famous four year old trotting filly, the other day. for |21,000, formerly owned her and sold her for $350 when she was a year old. A year or two afterwards he was urged by the then owner of the mare to take her back for the same price, to wit, |350, and he finally consented to do so. The result was a clear gain to him of $20,000.
SOMK of our departed citizens are reported to have made remarkably (juiob appearances after death at Pence's Hall, but a medium In the Vanderbilt will case testifies to a case of an interval of only ten minutes between a person's death and a communication from him in the spirit world. We call upon Mrs. Stewart and "The Committee" to beat that time. Terre Haute mustn't be outdone in this respect.
FOR some two weeks past readers of the Daily Express, on opening tbeir paper eaoh succeeding morning have been in doubt whether to put on their Republican specs or their National green goggles, Negotiationa have been in progress to paw it into the hands of gentlemen indentlfied with the Republican party, with Mr. J.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTIONS. Among other questions that will oome before the next Legislature for consideration will doubtless be the expediency of enacting a homestead exemption law.' General Harrison in his Richmond speech, signified bis hearty approval ot "a homestead law which should secure against sale on execution for debt the home of the distressed debtor and, preserve to bis family a roof-tree whon the storm of adversity breaks upon them." From a work just out on the "Law of Homesteads and Exemptions" we learn that Texas was the fir*t state to enact a homestead law which was done in January, 1839. And this was the first law of the kind in any oountry up to that time. In 1840 Vermont passed a

It is stated that differ as to the value of the homestead Morton got possession of the dispatches to be exempted and in other minor parsoon after the election and intended to ticulars, but the foundation principle of expose the conspiracy from bis seat in all of them is the same.

THB migratory movement from the east to the west is greater now than it has been known sine 1868—twenty years ago. "Movers' wagons" are seen daily passing down Main street, across the river, and out to the great prairies of the the west. About the middle of August a lady on east Main street began to count these wagons. Of course she has not seen all—some passing at night and others when Bhe was away from home—but already her list numbers near two hundred and fifty. A partial solution of the problem of the honest tramp stated in a late, number of the Sunday Afternoon is to be found in this westward tide of prairie schooners, teeming with living freight. There will be more room for those who stay when those who go get settled down to some work.

EVANGELINE.
We know what a picture that name brings before the reader's mental gaze. A twilight view of a lonely grave, marked by a lonely stone, and sitting beside it a dream-faced maiden, looking with mournful e^es" across the sea, watohing for a beautiful hope that had floated away and would never oome again. "Evangeline" will appear at tbe Opera House next Monday evening. But you won't see any such sad picture as the above. It really seems irreverent to burlesque Longfellow's sweet, sad, cameo-llke creation. "It's naughty, but It's nioe," for a more rollicking, mirth-provoking, original, ingeniously constructed burlesque is not now upon the stage, and better than all, it is free from tbe well known objectionable opera boufflc features. The company is a strong one, under the direction of Charles Rice, a brother of the author of the extravaganza and includes Harry Hunter, in his original and ludicrous conception of the "Lone Fisherman," one of the most singular fancies that ever emanated from tbe brain of the most imaginative oonstrnotion of stage absurdities. "Evangelic e" will be given on Monday evening, and tbe same company will give on Tuesday evening "Conrad, the Corsair," introducing Harry Hunter in a speaking parfe.^^,^.

A play which has been received with a more pronounced success than any other produced on the American stage, mnce the "Two Orphans," will occupy the boards at the Opera House, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next, with McKeo Rankin and Kitty Blanchardjn the cast, and the other persona tions about as when last given here. Almost every theatre goer in this city has seen the play, yet there is an Irresistible something in it that will draw them again. Tbe story is an interesting one, ia melodramatically strong and effective picturesque, with vivid incidents and bold, dearly cut characterizations, sounding tbe heights, and depths of pathos and humor, and peopled with men and women who, without rafBshness, are rugged as tbe Sierras among which they move and re--

Tbe electrio light is not likely to be popular for theatrical purposes. It makes too apparent tbe facial defects of the actresses. A London manager, referring to this subject, said: "Bless you, the paint and powder on tbeir faces were as plain as if In broad daylight. I tried a little colored light but it was almost useless. They looked as ugly aa hobgob lins. I very soon had to put tbe light out, and use gas." •'Man up a tree," in Philadelphia Mir ror: "Hooded in on Maggie Mitchell one evening when abe was last in Philadelphia, and doin| that hot piece, "The Pearl of Savoy," at the Walnut.

In the Congregational Association of Chicago report was made that "a number of ministers' families are in distress bordering on starvation."

The action of the Metbodiat Conference in Iowa concerning Brother Briggs, of Grinnell, is phenominal. He held doctrines at variance with the Methodist standards of faith, one of which was tbe possibility of the final restoration of all men to holiness and happiness. Charges and specifications were brought against him, and be admitted their truth. Instead of going through the troublesome form of trying and expelling him, the Conference allowed bim to jwithdraw, as it wasoertain that a trial could reault only in expulsion, it being impossible for one holding the objectionable doctrines entertained by Brother Briggs to remain in tbe Conference. On bis withdrawal the following extraordinary resolution was passed: "Resolved, That we hereby express our kind regard for Brother Briggs as a man and our entire confidence in bis Christiaa character, and assure bim that, though he goes from our ranks, be goes not from our hearts,but that our warmest wishes for his welfare will ever follow him." The question is at once asked, if tbe these gentlemen entertained, "entire confidenoe in bis Christian cbaraoter" and expressed kind regard for him "as a man," why should they compel him to go out from among them If he "goes not from their hearts" he is still a man and a brother and tbeir oordlal friend. Tbe Conference should at once look to this matter, and rectify the blunder. If Briggs is all the resolution says he is, it is a pity to push him out. If he is worthy of being pushed out, the Conference should pass a resolution delating him a beretiojand an outsider. jJ"
