Ohio.

The eleotkm in Ohio on Tuesday, Oct. 14, was for Secretary of State, a Judge of the Supreme Court, a member ot the Board of Public works, members of Ckwrress. and county officers. The

returna. as sent oat by the Associated Press

on the minting after the election, indicated a Republican majority of 15,000 to 17000. Later returns from the same source, however, cut these down to about 10,000. A press dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, says: Complete but unofficial returns reduce the Republican marfy close to 10,000. Republicans claim will be over that some, and Demo crats thai it wffl be less. It is thought that the official count will make it about eleven thousand, which reverses the Democratic majority of last year, but does not show any such cyclone as was claimed on the night of election. Democrats say they will make the ncht for November with as much vigor as ever. The following private dispatch by a member of the Republican State Committee has just been sent to Dudley at Washington: "Srxty-nve counties show a net Republican gain of 31,544. Deducting Hoadly's majority of last year, it leaves 9,013 I do not believe the remaining twenty-thea counties will more than bring this up to 10,000. Allen, Ashland, Crawford, Darlce, Mercer, Monroe, Paulding, Pickaway, Pike, and Richland show Democrat! gains over last year." By close calls the Democrats carry 11 the close and doubtful districts except that of Frank Hurd, who is beaten,

The Congressmen-elect are as follows:

Republicans

1. Benj. Butterworth. 2. Charles B. Brown, a John Little. 9. William C. Cooper

10. Jacob Romeiss.

12. Albt. C. Thompson, 14. Chas. H. Grosvenor 18. Isaac H. Taylor. 19. Ezra B. Taylor, 90. Wm. McKinley, Jr.

A press dispatch from Cincinnati says: The returns received from all parts of the State are uniform in showing an increased rote In many places the increase Is very marked. Another feature shown is that the people are more than Ordinarily arrayed in the two great parties. Both the Greenback and Prohibition vote are comparatively insignificant, and the vote was as distinctly marked as if the Presidential ticket had been before the people. A matter of great surprise is the large vote received by the Republican candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court There was gener 1 belief that he would tall far below the rest of the ticket, owing to dissatisfaction among the saloon men on account of his opinions on the Scott liquor law. On the contrary, It appears he has been carried fully up with the remainder of the ticket, and here in Hamilton County his vote is greater than that for Robinson, The unexpected feature of the election is the German vote, which was cast largely for the Republican ticket. Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas, Montgomery and Erie Counties, which embrace large Teutonic populations, show heavy Republican gains. In fact, they turned the tide and gave the victory to that party. Hamilton County alone shows a gain of 5,000 on the vote of last year. Cuyahoga shows a gain of nearly 3,000, Lucas a gain of over 2,000, and Montgomery a gain of 1,700. Both the Democratic and Republican press here agree that the election in Cincinnati was the bloodiest that has ever been held here. The Democratic papers assert that the thousand United States Deputy Marshals were employed mainly in intimidating honest voters, while the Republican press construes the conduct of the police force and the deputy sheriffs in a similar manner, comparing it to the Mississippi policy.

An AnnnriffitMl Prma riifmatah from WhMllnir

says: Returns are still very scarce and unsatisfactory. Chairman Cowden, of the State Republican Committee, concedes the State to the Democrats by 8,000. He says the returns are coming in so slowly he can hardly form an approximate idea of the real status in the 8tate- J. a Miller. Democratic State Committeeman in this city, claims the State by 600. Chairman Leonard, Democrat, telegraphs from Parkersburg that the State has gone 10,000. Baker, of the National Democratic Committee, places it at from 3,000 to 5,000. Wood Qounty gives Maxwell, Be publican candidate for Governor, 1,000. Harrf son County, Maxwell's home, gives 8"0 majority. The Republicans have made gains all over the State, but not enough to overcome the Democratic majority of four years ago,

OHIO. A Columbus (Ohio) dispatch says: Official returns were received at the Republican headQuartera to-night from Ashtabula and Wood Counties, these being the last to report, and they complete the hst. The revised figures gtve Robinson a plurality of 11421. This shows a Republican gain of 26,053, and a Democraticrgain of 2.102. In sixty-six counties the Republicans made all their gains, and the Democrats in the rest. The Republican gains in the rural districts are equal to their plurality. Chairman Oglevee concedes the election of EUsbury, Democrat, in the Eleventh District. The delegation to Congress will stand eleven Democratic and ten Republican. WK3T VIRGINIA. A Wheeling telegram says: State Auditor Miller has official and unofficial returns and close estimates from forty-two of the fifty-four counties, which give a Democratic majority for Wilson of 7409. The seven counties to hear from will increase this to 8,000. The Register claims 7,000 for Wilson a gain over the combined Republican and Greenback vote of 1880 of 3,700. Chairman Cowden, of the Republican State Committee, fay the back counties are showing heavy Republican gains aud predicts less than 500 for Wilson. Still Later Kleetkm Figures. OHIO. A Columbus telegram says: Almost complete returns are in from the official counts of the County Clerks. From these and reliable semi-official sources the Republican pluralities are: For Secretary of State, 11,321; Supreme Judge, 15,450; Member of Board of Public Works, 17,4T8 The Prohibition vote will be from 8,000 to 10,000, and the Greenback -labor vots about 3j000, with a total vote of over 750,000," west vmonaA. A Wheeling dispatch says : As far as heard from twenty-eight counties in this State give Democratlo majorities of 12,133; twenty-two counties give Republican majorities of 3,277; Democratlo majority, 2,856, with four counties to hear from, which may increase the Democratic majority 1,200. The Democratic plurality in 1880 was 15.136, and 3,100 over Republicans and Greenbackers. This year, the Republicans and Greenbackers fused. It appears, however, that Democratic Greenbackers, m most counties, went back to their party, and Republican Greenbackers did the same.

The attempt of the New England branch

of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Com

pany to get the right of way for its poles on

the railroad land already oeccupied by the

Western Union Company is resisted by the

latter on the ground of its contracts with

the railroads, which give it the right ex

clusively to place poles by the side of their tracks. But in Texas, where the same

question has been contested by t ie same companies, the courts have permitted the

Baltimore and -Ohio to put its pole s on the lands of the Texas Pacific, which, with the

telegraph line already in operation, is con

trolled by Mr. Gould. In consequence of

this decision the Baltimore and Ohio is

pressing forward the work of construction

to a connection with all the importan t points.

The decision of the Texas courts appears to

rest on the statute laws of Texas, which are peculiarly favorable to telegrapt. competition. .Factories at Augusta, Ga., employing about 2,000 hands, which hive been shutdown for several weeks, started up

A. GOOD BONANZA STORY. How Keene Made the Fortune of Tom

Crittenden's Widow "In 1874, Flood, O'Brien, Mackay, and Fair, organized the largest scheme of mining speculation ever known on the Pacific Slope. The stock of the Bonanza mines was then very lowabout 28, I believe. One afternoon Mackey, who -was general superintendent of these mines (all a part of the great Corastock system), came in a hurry to San Francisco and went at once to Flood and O'Brien, He said they had just struck the most wonderful lot of 'bonanzas,' or pockets, full of almost pure gold that he in all his experience had ever seen. He proposed to the two gentlemen named, and Fair, that they should quietly get hold of ail the stock that could be had before the news of this wonderful 'strike' was made public. This was Thursday. By Saturday evening they had three-fifths of all the stock. Only two outsiders Sharon and Bill Balston were allowed to come in, and the only reason the latter was told was that they wanted the Bank of California to carry them through. Eeene, shrewd and sharp, felt that something was in the air, but for the life of him could not find out what it was. One afternoon a little woman in rusty black came into the office and, with a timid air, asked a clerk if she could see Mr. Keene. "The young man addressed was very busy just then telling a story to another clerk of how he and several others had painted the town red the night before. He looked over her head everywhere, and finally saw it was only a shabby-looking woman. He supposed it was some one begging, and insolently answered that Mr. Eeene was very busy then and could see no one. She waited a moment, and modestly said, 'will you take my name to him?' Just then a tall slender man came out of a back office with two or three others, aud, hearing the conversation, said : 'I am Mr. Eeene; do you wish to see me? Come into my office, Madam.' She went with him. He offered her a chair with as much courtesy as if she had been the reigning belle of San Francisco, and waited for her to speak. 'Mr. Eeene she said, I am the widow of Tom Crittenden, of whom youj once knewMand I have been used to hearing of mining operations all my married life. I am sewing for my living now. Yesterday I was at a house naming one of the bonanza set and heard a conversation which convinced me that a great operation is being engineered by Flood, O'Brien, Mackey, and Fair. They said they had made a wonderful discovery that will put up the Corastock certificates of stock 300 to 400 per cent.' She then opened a little box and, handing it to Keene, said; 'These diamond ornaments were my mother's present to me the day I was married. Throughout all my distress and poverty I have kept them. They are worth $800. Will you take them as security and buy me on margin all of that mining stock they are good for?' ''Keene saw it all in a second. Here was the clue he had so vainly tried to find. 'You have rendered me a most important service, Mrs. Crittenden,' he said Keep your diamonds ; I will buy you a line of shares in the mining stock and carry it for you. Whenever you want your profits come to me,' and he bowed her out There was no time to lose, but by working diligently he had stock enough to make a million dollars profit if the stock went above 200. Four days after the wonderful news became public. At first the brokers thought it was a job, but the experts they sent down to examine said that nothing like such a deposit had ever been known in mining history. The stock started. From 28 it jumped to 60 in one day, then to 80, 100, 120, 160, 200, 265. The little woman watched the upward rise with feelings that can only be imagined. She scarcely slept; she could not work. 265 she sent Mr. Keene a note to sell whatever he had bought of her. She had no idea how much it was, but thought it might be 200 shares, maybe not more than 100. This would give her at least $25,000 after all commissions were paid. That afternoon she went down to his office. The smart young clerk remembered her, and was more civil this time. "He said Mr. Keene was out just then, but was momentarily expected. Would she take a seat and wait for him? She sat down in a sort of a daze, hardly knowing what she did. How long she waited she has no idea to this day Mr. Keene's voice awakened her faculties, and he was standing before her. 'I got your note, Mrs. Crittenden he was saying, and I sold your stock to-day. Come into my office. Mr. Quill, see how much money Mrs. Crittenden has with us,' continued the great mining millionaire, In a moment the clerk replied 'Mrs. Crittenden has $570000 less commissions, making her profits on 2,000 shares $552,870 'Will you have a check for it now?' asked Keene. He heard a soft sigh. 'Get some water here quickly. She has fainted,' said he, lifting her up from the sofa on whio hshe had been sitting. "Well, my story is ended," said the Californian. "The lady you see yonder made good use of her money. She was aided by Keene, who put it into good hands, and now there is no happier person anywhere than Tom Crittenden's widow. She has diamonds, horses and pretty clothes, some of them so pretty that when she comes into the parlor at the States the envious women wish she were dead." New York Letter to Boston Herald. Diet of the Monkey Dr. Allison, a London physician,

has been making experiments on a monkey. He says: "Some time ago I bought a rhesis monkey, intending to study his habits. He is about eighteen inches high, and tame. I feed him with the same food I take myself. He likes fruits best of all; raw grains and cooked vegetables and potatoes next. He prefers his potatoes without salt and rice with sugar. Peas and beans he will not eat unless very hungry. He wlwavs eats with his hands the same as the Turks, and, as he does eot wash them beforehand, he swallows much dirt. When I give him hot food he huts to wait until it cools before he ran eat it, or before he ;dare thrust his hands into it I tviedy his vian a few times with my porridge and stews, an 3 had

to wait before I dare finger tfrem. I thought if mankind were faoo3 like my monkey, to eat with their- fingers, that we should not damage our teeth and stomachs with hot foods, nor should we indulge in tioups. Soups are very good for exhausted people, but not so good for persons in health, aa 'they are not as easily digested as more solid articles; in fact, the superfluous fluid they contain must bo absorbed before digestion goes on. Every food I offered him was first of all smelt of, and then, if the smell was agreeable, he ate it; if otherwise, he threw it down. If mankind would always be guided by the sense of smell we would eat leas rotton cheese, high game, etc., than we

do, and consume more delicious ft aits, whose aroma naturally attracts as. He

is also a nose-breather, and I never saw him breathe once through his mou ;h another good example which mankind might follow with benefit, as we naturally are nose-breathers." Herald of HealtJu Girl or the Period. The girl of the period is on the downward slope, and it is w pity, because she doesn't look so well that way. Her lines that ought to be horizontal are now at an angle of about thirty degrees, with the lowest points in front A bustle is raised on the back top of her skirts, making the highest point below the waist Her hat or bonnet is also pitched forward, her bustle is permitted to droop as much as possible, and tl e high heels of her shoes gives her feet the same slope forward. All this is inartistic and sadly disfiguring.Black Btockings are commonly worn, especially on occasions of dancing. The silhouette effect of the jet feet and ankle under light dresses is exceedingly picturesque, especially when the quadrille or german assumes a friekr and skirt-disturbing aspect We walk demurly through the figures until we come to the "ladies' chain" or the "promenade." It is permissible here to add a little swinging step and a graceful dancing movement to this stately promenade. Some of the figures of the german border on the romp. One of these is called La Corde. A rope is stretched by the leading couple across the room, and the fellows jump over it to reach their partners. Much amusement is occasioned by those who are thrown by the intentionally raising of the rope. Af er all have reached their partners they perform 8 waltz, and regain their seats. This some times becomes rolhcky in the extreme. Now, it is a fact well known in art that a black object looks smaller, than a white or bright one. Actresses are well aware of that optical illusion, and they are accused of adapting bulk to circtiftistances. That is to say, their black stockings are bulged more than other ones. It is not for mo to scrutinize amateur dancers too clo.sely, but at a Newport hall I was led to suspect that th9 devices of the stage are not wholly unknown to the hotel parlor. A. girl had been just a trifle reckless as to the switching of her skirts in the hurly-burly episodes of the quadrille, and there had been no hindrance at all to public admiration of her blacklystockinged ankles. She was barely steated when, in a sudden cessation of the music, an old gentleman's voice continued inadvertently high and loud: "How do you manage your calves?" That was what he said. He was looking straight at the girl; but I comprehended, from a previous knowledge of the fact, that he was talking to his companion about cows young 'uns. But the girl thought that the calves he referred to were her own, real or assumed ones. She just turned pale and quivered. All of which made me believe that bhe had forced a symmetry which nature had denied her. Clara Belle, in Cincinnati Enquirer A Misunderstanding "I thought I would take a run up and see if you didn't want to buy a sewing machine," said the agent to Farmer Grimes. "I don't know as I do," replied the farmer ; "I've got most of my spring sowing done." "But won't you need it for sewing in the summer." "Look here, young feller, we don't sow in the summer. We cuts, an' geth-

ers, an binds. "Oh, well, this machine gathers and binds." "Mebbe you'll be telling me next that your machine will haul in the crap an put it in the barn. Don't come around here with any of your big stories. ".Don't be ruffled, my dear sir, I thirJc you do not understand me. I mean a machine to sew cloth, no grain." "Ahem ! you do, do you. Then you'd better go talk to the wimmin. It's a good thing you didn't mean the other kind, for if you'd kept on telling me about your woderful machine for plantin', an' reapin', you'd got me rippin', an' tearin' 'till I'd basted you." Texas. Sittings. , How He Got the Milk. Grattans uncle, Dean Marley, had good deal of the humor of Swift Onoo, when the footman was out of the way, he ordered the coachman to fetch some water from the well. To this the coachman objected that his business was to drive not to run on errands "Well, then said Marley, "bring out the coach and four, set the pitcher inside, and drive to the well, a service which was several times repeated, to the great amusement of the village. To this may be added the story of Harrison Gray Otis, who found one morning at the breakfast table that the milkman had not brought any milk. He asked each of several servants to get some at

the grocery. All declined an the ground that it was not their business. He then ordered his carriage, asked the housekeeper to go in it to the market and soon had some milk. Every Other Saturday.
