EXTREMES.
I.
Two rival spirits roam the world
And turn the scales of fato;
One through the potency of love,
The other, hate.
IL
Two forces are at enmity,
Divided by a breatH:
The victory of one is life,
The other, death.
?William H. Hayne.
THE GRASP DUKE.
What is it that Fauvette sees? Tlie day
is cold and bleak; Fauvette gathers the
blanket more closely around her thinly
clad form and over her head as she looks
down the road aud discovers far away,
in the direction of her own home, a
cloud of dust. It is not the dust of the
diligence, for that went by an hour ago; ;
Fauvette noticed it particularly, because
it was going fast. The horses were gal- I
loping, and Raptiste wa3 urging: them
on as though something were coming in l
pursuit. Had Baptiste been running
away from that which made the clouds
of dust? and was that which made the ;
cloud the German army?
Fauvette's heart stood still as this1
thought came to her. She knew there I
was war in the country, but as yet it had
not come anywhere near Champvillers, j
which was the village where Fauvette 1
lived. Had it come near so soon? "When i
she left home that morning with Bebe
there had been no thought of the Ger- i
mans; had they arrived already? She
looked around at Bebe, who was trying
almost vainly to get some pasturage out
of the stubble of the field. Then she
looked again at the cloud of dust. It
had lifted a little by this time, and un- j
derneath Fauvette could see the glimmer '
of bayonets and the forms of horses and
men. Yes, it was the German army? j
there could be no doubt of that.
At the first thought she started to run. |
But where should she go? The soldiers j
were between her and the village; she;
could not leave Bebe, and Bebe would j
not willingly go in the opposite direction
from home. Eveu if Bebe consented j
the soldiers would very soon overtake ;
her. But if she staid would they not
take Bebe and herself, too? of, if they
let her go, would they not carry Bebe off?
Fauvette's heart now beat quick and fast
The soldiers were coming rapidly nearer, j

faces. The man in lront on horseback
was old and ugly. Could that be the
Count Bismarck,she wondered. Fauvette
crept up to Bebe's side and laid her
arm over the cow's neck. For the first
time Bebe looked up, and seeing the soldiers,
gazed at them with a look of
gentle surprise.
Bebe was Fauvette's special care. Fauvette's
elder sister, Lucie, looked after
the children, and helped the mother at
home, while Fauvette brought the cow
to pasture, and iu these troubled times
Btaid with it all day. At this season it was
cold work, and there was little in the
field for Bebe to eat. Pretty soon her
task would end, and the cow would live
at home with the rest of the family, having
better quarters, indeed, than they
had themselves. Fauvette now wished
that it had ended before to day, so that
she might not have met the soldiers in
this exposed place.
The officer at the head, who, though
Fauvette did not know it, was only a
colonel, eyed the cow, as he rode up,
with grim satisfaction.
"An 1" He exclaimed, in his own
tongue, "this will make fine steaks.
Leave the cow, girl, and go back to your
village.. No one will hurt you."
Fauvette stood still. She did not understand
German, though she guessed at
what he said.
"Ach!" exclaimed the officer "who can
jpeak this detestable tongue? Where is
there a man who knows the French?"
The colonel looked up and down the
line. Several of the men appeared ready
to answer, when the attention of all was
. attracted to a young aid-de-camp, who
came galloping up the road, and demanded
to know what was the matter.
The colonel pointed to Fauvette and the
:ow*
"I am just about to tell the girl to go ,
home to the village and leave the cow,"
tie said, "but unhappily I am not ready i
with foreign languages. When I have j
lomething to say in French, I require !
flelp."
The young man smiled. Then turning !
to Fauvette, he said to her, in her own ;
tongue: "My poor child, the colonel >
wishes me to tell you that you must;
leave the cow and go home. You live \
in the village wc have just passed, do
you not?"
Fauvette gazed at him calmly. She
was terrible afraid, and her face was
pale, but otherwise she did not show it.
''Oui, monsieur," she said; ''I live in i
:he village, and I should be glad to go
frack, but I cannot leave Bebe."
The young aid de-camp?he was little
more than a boy?looked at her pityingly.
''But you must," he said; "the
iolonel says so."
Her eyes flashed. "What do I care
for the colonel" she said. "If he kills
Bebe, he must kill me too."
"Oh, he won't kill you," said the boy.
"We don't fight children. But he wants
:he cow, don't you see."
"What does he want it for?" asked
Fauvette, gravely.
"Why, to eat, I suppose," he stamaaered,not
wishing to hurt her more than
accessary, but yet telling the truth as
from habit.
"Toeat!'exclaimed Fauvette. "My!
Beautiful Bebe! If she was yours, would ;
fou let anybody kill her?"
He looked admiringly at Bebe's mouse:olored
velvet skin and large soft eyes.
"Well, no.I wouldn't," he said, frankly.
"Well, I won't, either;" and she
:lasped her arms tightly around the
feature's neck.
The young man walked helplessly over
to the colonel. "I can't seem to perluade
her, sir," he said.
The colonel laughed. "Oh, well then,
. we'll use force," he said. Turning to his
nen, he ordered two of them to take the
~ jirl aw^ from the cow.
?>iitfeyon"goiug to kill the cow ?" the
roung aide-de-camp iisked.
"Certainly," said the colonel. "Pray
sxplain to the prince the e::ii?e of the
lelay, and say we shall be moving di- 1
ectly."
The young man, with another look at
Fauvette, turned around and rode rapdly
off, while the two men, at the colrnel's
direction, stepped up to the child's
dde.
' Come!" one of them demanded in
Serman.
Fauvette did not move. Her hold of
Bebe tightened, and she looked up at the
rude soldiers with defiance flashing from
ler black eyes.
"So!" exclaimed the man; "then I
nust make you." And he proceeded,
lot very gently, to loosen the arms that
were clinging to Bebe's neck. Fauvette
creamed loudly, while she tried to hold
)o, but her strength was small compared
:o the men's, and in a moment one of
;hem had dragged her away, while the
other was trying to puil the cow in an
opposite direction. But for once Bebe's j
stubbornness served her a good turn.
Whether she understood their designs or |
not, the cow would not move one step; j
ind when they tried to drag her, she j
planted her feet firmly on the ground, i
put down her head, and uttered a gentle '
hut. '"Muni'' The men looked
helplessly at the colonel, who was very j
angry. For the sake of a cow the whole i
detachment had bt-en detained fifteen '
minutes. A less forbearing man than
U. himself would have shot it at once. J
Presently the aide-de-camp would be
coming up again to see why they had not
moved.
"Shoot the cow!" he cried, passion- |
ately.
In order to raise his gun, Fauvette's
captor had to let her go. Quick as
thought the girl rushed back, and, while
the guns were pointed at her, threw her
arms one# more around Hebe's neck.
"Now fire!''she cried, stamping her
foot; "fire and kill me too."
It was this tableau that the young man
saw as he came dashing up again; the
asgrv colonel on horseback, the soldiers
leveling their guns, and the patient cow
protected by the child.
"Good heavens!" he cried, riding in
between the soldiers and Fauvette, and
making himself the target for their fire,
"do you mean to kill the child?"
The men, who had no wish for the
business, lowered their muskets, while
the lad saluted the colonel. ''Here is j
an order from the prince,'' he eaid, pro- j
during a bit of paper, "permitting the'
child to take the cow back to the village,
lam directed to Bee that it is executed."
The colonel, with an angry frown
upon his face, turned away and gave the
order to advance. Presently the regiment
was in motion. Ihe dust had,
arisen, and, freed from her persecutors, j
Fauvctte was left alone with the I
young man. The soldiers were i
marching by, but she did not mind j
them now. ISebe, too, was quite
composed, and had resumed her feeding, j
j Fauvette would never complain again
; that Hebe was stubborn, if Hebe had j
j noi been stubborn to-day, where might
1 she not be now/ But Fauvette had not I
| yet thanked the young man who was
waiting on horseback by her side.
"I thank you very much," she said,
j timidly, looking up into the boy's handsome
face, "if they had killed Hebe
they would have killed me too."
"Oh, they wouldn't have done that,''
, he said. "Only their guns might have i
gone off accidentally."
"She hesitated a moment. "Yes," she ,
said, "they might have gone off when
you stood before them."
He colored a little. "I am a soldier," j
he said. "A soldier does not think about
such things."
Fauvette looked at him admiringly.
"You are very briwc," she said.
The aide-de-camp smiled. "Oh, no,
I'm not," he hastened to say. "Why,
the other day, when I went into battle
for the first time, it was just as much as
1 could do to keep from running away. ;
I expected that every bullet would hit j
me, and every time I heard one of them
siug, I said good-bye."
"That was the tirst time," said Fauvette,
Indulgently. "You wouldn't feel
that way again. My grandfather fought
with Napoleon, and" he says that is the
way he used to feel."
"Did your grandfather fight with Na-1
poleon?" the boy asked. "How I should J
like to hear him tell about it!"
"Oh, that's easy enough," said Fauvette.
"If you will come back to the
village he will tell you anything you
want to know. But I forgot," she j
added hurriedly: "you are a German."
He nodded. "Yes," he said, "I'm a
German; but I'm going back to see you
safe to the village all the same."
The soldiers had now mostly passed
by, and a number of elegant persons on 1
horseback were bringing up the rear. I
Hiding up to one of these, the aide-de-'
camp held a brief conversation. Then '
wheeling around his horse, he came back i
to Fauvette.
"Yes," he said: "I may take you back j
to the village. There is another detach- I
ment of our men there, whom I am to :
order forward. Will the cow go?"
Happily Bebe had lorgotten her stub- :
borness, or else she understood that1
home was the safest place for her. She j
made no objections when Fauvette told I
her to go. on, and even allowed the j
young man, wno naa swung rauvette
up into the saddle, to urge her forward :
with his horse. The cow could not go [
very fast, however, and it took some
time to reach the village. Half a mile
away they heard the sound of tiring, and
off to the right, where Fauvette told the
boy another road ran, hung a cioud of
dust such as she had seen before that
morning. When they reached the village,
how still it was! Not a soldier was
ti be seen. What had become of them? |
the aide-de-camp wondered. There
was no time, however, for him
to be either frightened or surprised.
Hardly had his horse's hoof
sounded 011 the street when out of every ;
house rushed a troop of soldiers, half a
dozen of whom grasped the lad's bridle.
For an instant both he and Fauvette J
were too much astonished to speak. The
girl, who recognized familiar faces, was J
the first to recover herself.
"Ah!" she cried, let him go. He has j
saved my life and Bebe's."
At the same moment an officer came
out of the inn door. "Your name and .
rank, monsieur,,1 he demanded, briefly.
The lad drew himself up proudly i
until his slender figure seemed that of a j
man. His frauk, boyish face glowed, j
and his blue eyes flashed fire. "Carl
Ludwig von bcnomDerg, ' ne saia, in
French, "lieutenaut in the German army, j
and grand duke of Iloenstauffen-Stein- j
rnetz."
The officer bowed. "Thanks, your j
highness," hi said. ''It is unfortunate,
but your soldiers, whom I presume you
expected to find here, have evacuated
the village, and you are the prisoner of
the French."
Fauvette's lip trembled. She was
still on horseback, protected by the
young officer's arm. "But he came
back to bring me," she cried. "If it had
not been for him, I would have been
killed."
"That will be considered," said the |
officer, "but at present Lieutenant Von j
Schomberg is our prisoner. Will you j
please dismount, sir?"
The boy let one of the men whom Fau- ;
vette knew take her down and then dis- i
mounted himself.
'Now, sir," said the French officer,
'if you will come into the cabaret you
will find there some of your companions."
The lad turned to where Fauvette
stood crying on Bebe's neck. "Do not
cry, my child," he said; "it is only the
fortune of war."
"But it was for me," she sobbed. "If i
it had not been for me you would be with
your prince now.
He smiled kindly. "I should no
doubt have come back anyhow,'1 he
said. Don't vex yourself, little one;
and adieu."
Her face lighted up through her tears.
"Ah, no," she whispered, looking
hurriedly around to see if any one over-!.
heard?"Au revoir."
What did she mean? the duke had
wondered as the officer led him off to !
the cabaret. He would hardly see her
aijain, for the next day, if uot earlier,
they would surely take him off to 3Ietz,
or wherever else the French kept their
prisoners. It was an inglorious ending
to his military career, but he had served
the little peasant maiden and saved a 1
cow's life; and he was sure he would
rather have done that than kill someone j
in battle. Ilis rank enabled him to have a
room to himself in the upper story of the
cabaret, and left alone, with a sentinel
outside the door and another beneath the
window, he had time to reflect upon these
things, and to wonder what the priuce
would think when he did not reappear.
and whether they would send
back for him. They would hardly do
that, he concluded, since they were anxious
to get ahead as fast as possible. He
was unwilling to admit it, but there did
not seem to be any very good prospect j
of his immediate release. All the after
noon ne was ieu unuisiurui-u.auu wuca
the darkness shut down there were no j
signs that he wns to be removed that
night. At midnight, however, the key
turned in the lock, the door opened,
and some one stood in the room.
"Are you awake?" whispered a soft
voice.
It was Fauvette's voice, and the boy's
heart gave a thrill of hope.
"Oh, yes," he answered, "I couldn't go
to sleep, you know."
She came up to him and laid her hand
on his arm. "Listen," she said. "The
soldiers are all asieep. My uncle, who
keeps the inn, has drugged their wine,
and my father holds your horde before
the door. There is nothing between
you and your army. You must go at
once."
He hesitated a moment. "And you?"
he said.
"Oh. I am all right," she answered.
"This is my home, no one will harm
me."
He could not see her face in the darkness,
but he guessed that the black eyes
were full of tears. "You are a good
girl," he said. "Tell me your name.
You know 1 did not learn that."
"My name is Fauvette," she said, simply?Fauvette
Marets."
"Ah,"he said, "Ishall always remember
the brave little owner of that name.
Then taking her hand he lingered a moment
in the door.
"Adieu," she said quietly.
"Nein," he exclaimed; "it shall not
I be adieu. I will surely see you again
| some day.'' He leaned over and kissed
her forehead. "Auf wiederschen, Fauvette,"
and clasping her hand,he passed
' swiftly out into the hall and down the
dark stairs.

In a moment Fauvette heard the muffled
clatter of the horse's hoofs on the
hard road, and then, with the tears in
her eyes, she crept down the stairs herself,
and went to her own home.?Eliat

A Japanese Dinner.
One of the latest additions to the attractions
of the health exhibition is the
Japanese restaurant,with a real Japanese
dinner, prepared by native cooks, and
served in Japanese fashion, is to be had for
four shillings. The first soup?there are
two, one at the beginning and one at the
end?is delicious; not unlike the stock
of Julienne or gravy soup, but with an
added flavor worth knowing. The little
bowl of rice is very much what a teacupful
of plain rice, well boiled, would
be at any English table; but the wine of
the country, which one is invited to take
with it, is rather like cowslip mixed
with indifferent Sauterne. The small
platter of salmon and prawns is tasty
enough, and the cucumber, with shredded
shrimps. or something like them,to
a separate bowl, needs no improvement,
but the whole does not go well with a
cupful of substance looking like haricot
beans beautifully boiled, and well sugared.
A nice piece oi Inea nsn, sole or waiting
?have they soles in Japan??served with
exquisite sauce,is followed by the second
soup, which completes the repast. There
is a novel sensation in finding one's food
served on porcelain or papier mache,
which looks as if it came from the drawing-room,
rather than the kitchen, and
there is the pleasing perplexity of trying
to eat with chop-sticks,and finding one's
self as clumsy as one's neighbors, until
hunger compels a demand for a fork. It
may be added that the cosmopolitan
champagne goes admirably with the dinner,
and that during the later hours of
the evening the tables are crowded; but
we must repeat that it is curiosity rather
than hunger which is satisfied.?London

After Nineteen Tears.
Nineteen years ago a female infant was
left with an old Irishwoman in Boston
by its young parents, who boarded with
her, supposably under an assumed name.
The only clew to them was a handkerchief
bearing initials, which was with
the child's effects. The little one grew
up in iguorance of its father or mother,
cared for by the old woman and her family.
After a lapse of years, a peculiai
growth appeared on the lid of one of the
child's eyes.
She was taken to an occulist, who remarked
upon the singularity of the case,
and said he had operated only upon one
other similar case in the course of his
practice,and that was upon the eye of a |
wealthy lady in a city near Boston. Herq
w?s the long-hidden clew to the child's
identity. The person who took the little
girl to the occulist reported what the
doctor had said. An attorney was called
in, and it was, in the process of a
lrmrr in voaflrrntinn that the
*VM6 ~ I - I
name upon the handkerchief was the
name of the manufacturer's wife and the
girl's mother.
The girl was, several months ago, confronted
with her father and mother. A
settlement by the payment of several
thousand dollars for back board and an
annuity of SI,500 for th6 daughter, now
a young lady, was effected, it is said.
When the child was abandoned the husband
of the lady was a poor bookkeeper.
It was feared it is said, that the birth of
the baby would anger a relative of the
mother who was possessed of means, and
so the child was given up. To-day the j
bookkeeper is a wealthy manufacturer.
He has a family who have grown up in
entire ignorance of their eldest sister.
Tlie Blue Grass Country not Blue.
The term "Blue Grass Region" ot
Kentucky is quite extensive in its application,
but in its popular sense it applies
only to the remarkable body of land in
the center of the State, which comprises
six or eight countries surrounding Lexington.
The favored district, which
scientific authority has styled 14 the very
heart of the United States," is underlaid
by a decomposable limestone, which imparts
to the soil an unsurpassed fertility,
and <?ives to irrass. known to botanists \s
Poe Pretensis, a rich and permanent lu'? I
uriance which it attains nowhere else. ]
Hence the term ''The Blue Grass j
Region," a synonym for the acme of fer- '
tility of a district which also bears the
proud distinction of " the garden spot
of the world." But why our grass is
called ''blue," when it never is blue, is
one of the unsolved problems. It is always
green except when in bloom, when
the heads have a brownish purple tint.
If. however, the term "blue grass" is
meant for an abbreviation of blue limestone
grass, then it will do, for certainly
it only reaches its highest perfection
on wonderful blue limestone soil. Propagated
without cultivation, it comes up
thick and juicy early in the spring,
ripens in June, renews its growth in autumn,
and, retaining its verdure in spite
of snow and ice, furnishes abundant and i
unequaled pasturage during the entire
winter. It is believed to be indigenous.?Sportsman.
The Chinese Cabinet Maker.
I noticed a door aud a window in a
courtyard with a very original lattice.
I had succeeded in getting a few similar
ones, and when time failed me 1
rubbed black all over a sheet of papei
and then applied it to the lattice, thus
obtaining a faithful life-sue copy. The
Chinese paper being strong, although
fine, was eminently suitable to this sort
of drawing, and also to copying inscriptions
on stones or walls. Not having any j
such paper about me I begged a Chinese |
to go and fetch some for me, which he :
did with alacrity, and when I explained j
what I was going to do he ran and got I
me a stool that I might reach l lie window !
with greater facility. Some of them held |
it all the time, and when they inquired
why I was doing this, I told them that
the design was very beautiful, and that
T desired to have a window like it in my
own house. This pleased and flattered
thera greatly, and to enhance the merits
of their town they told me the artist was ;
a native cabinet maker; some of thera
even ran to fetch him. I complimented
him on his work, but he was very modest
about it. I then tore a sheet of paper
out of my notebook, and, to leave him a
remembrance, sketched my own likeness
and offered it for his acceptance. The
onlookers recognized the drawing and uttered
exclamations of approval. The
cabinet maker ran off with It greatly delighted,
accompanied by a crowd of admirers.
I only mention this fact to prove
how easy it is to disarm the distrust and
hostility of a Chinese crowd.?"A Russian

Terrific Scenes of Excitement in
New York,
Graphic Description of a Night at
Madison Square.
During the first few nights succeeding the ^
election, New York went wild with excite- |
ment. Around Printing House square, where
the leading newsj>apers have their oftt- i
ces, and in tho vicinity of Madison
Square, where tho headquarters of j
both political parties were situated, dense j
crowds of excited men surged to and fro all :
day long, shouting, hurrahing and groaning
according as the returns received were favorable
or unfavorable to their candidates. We
quote from the Sun's account of the scenes
witnessed on the Thursday night following
the election, when the excitement seemed to
have reached a climax :
A swollen tide of humanity choked Madison
square last night. It swept to and fro j
with a hoarse ancf continuous roar. Recurring
burets of ^excitement set thousands of
hats swaying over the black and white expanse
of nats and faces. A broker of herculean
frame, with a big beaver, whose lustrous
polish reflected the electric glare of the square
stepped out of the crush into Fifth avenue at j
7 o clock, and shouldered a brand-new broom ;
like a musket. The Seventh Regiment band, |
cnnt. fmm tho Democratic headauarters, |
formed in ranks behind him, and blew into j
the trumpets till their eyes bulged and
thumped the drums till the air shook with the
boom. Then the Wall street Hercules
twirled his broom with the dazzling intricacy
of a trained drum major and shouted, "Fall |
in for Cleveland."
Well-dressed men shouldered other brooms
and walking sticks quick as lightning, and by I
tho time the band had marched half a block j
there were more than twenty ranks of twenty '
files front tramping in the roadway. When I
the procession had inade just one circuit of
the square there were more than 2,030 men
in line, and new lines formed every minute.
Big portraits of Cleveland were spiked on the
canes and tied to the brooms. No torchlight
procession ever awakened the uproar that
greeted the paraders. The big throng cheered
m sections of 100 as it tramped, and shouted
in time with the tremendous melody of the
band various couplets.
The procession wheeled right into the midst
of the throng that swayed before the Republican
national committee. Burning papei
crackled in the wind like blazing pine knots
over the heads of the processionists, and tt,00C
lungs made tho air vociferous with the shout
"Burn, burn, burn this letter."
"Left, left, Jim Blaine is left."
Silken flags waved over the heads of th?
loya! Republican masses, and a thousand
Bfaine men sent back this answer with a 1,000
lung-power enthusiasm:
" Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine.
We give three cheers for President iJlaine.'
' The uproar on the sidewalk never let up in
the face of the wild roar in the roadways.
Portraits of Cleveland fell down on the crowd
from the house tops like a snow storm. Everybody
yelled for Cleveland and Blaine till his
voice gave out, and then used up the rest of
his wasted breath in laughing at the nimble
newsboys who industriously sowed seeds ol
uncertainty in tho wind with real shouts ol
"Extra?Cleveland elected sure."
" Extra?Blaine carries New York."
By 10 o'clock the crowd had shouted so constantly
that its lungs refused to respond to
Cleveland returns on the stereopticon. President
Arthur stepped into his carriage and
drove away unnoticed, because everybody in
the neighborhood had his eyes riveted on the
canvas transparency.
All the crowd in Union square had drifted
up around Madison square and lost itself in
the ocean. When Chairman Gorman's proclamation
that the United States had elected
Cleveland and Hendricks big pictures of
Cleveland and legends of victory had been
hung all over the front of the national committee's
headquarters and brooms sprouted
from tho window sills. There was an irstont
of silence as the proclamation was read aloud.
The next instant Bloomingdale, in its wildest
moments, would have been a Concord School
of Philosophy caim compared with Madison
square. Cheers swept all along the line and
into the hotel, and the entire throng took up
the shout:
"It's all right! It's all right!"
"No, no, no 'seventy-six."
The procession swept along with a fresh
blare of trumpets, and thousands on the sidewalk
joined m the campaign song of the
marchine thousands:
"Oh, keep those bells a-ringing,
"While he climbs up the White House stairs.''
When the crowd behind the band had t
swelled to 3,000 the enthusiasm was at its
height, and the crowd sang the popular airs
while the musicians played them, and the
crowd that lined the sictawalks yelled in time
with the swing of the leader's "staff. Wher
it seemed as though it were to be an all-nighl
affair, things came to a sudden close. Thirty
policemen with drawn clubs faced the heao
of the procession. It wanted to keep right on
but the leader was led away by an officer three
quarters his height, and upon this the band
aisbanded. The crowd behind resisted for t [
while, but no violence was attempted, anc
while those out of reach of clubs groaned al
the policemen,those within arxnswin; did not
thins of it. They had no permit to {arade,th?
police said.
When tho ranks were finally broken up, the
crowd went on in the usual tenor of its way.
shouting and yelling, and applauding every
one who got up a new cry. Five hundred
men gathered opposite tho Young Men's
Democratic club on Twenty-fourth street and
did some energetic groaning. Under the lead
of a powerful lunged voung man they
groaned for nearly everything.
By this time it was 11 o clock, and the
stereopticon managed by the World, was beginning
to get the crowd excited. The following
was flashed on tho canvass repeatedly,
" Are Democratic processions allowed in
this city ?"
They are not^-not without permits. But
the taunt soon had tno aesirea euecc, anu u
second procession was soon organized.
It was not as large as its predecessor, but it
was more excited. Five to eight hundred
men, all well dres.-eJ, formed in line outside
the Democratic club and started up Fifth
avenue, where Jay Gould lives, all yelling
together:
" Hang, hang,
Hang Jay Gould,"
or singing:
" We'll hang Jay Gou'd on a sour apple tree."
They had got only two blocks up the avenue,
however, when the policy headed by
Sergeant King, made for them again, and
succeeded iu once more breaking them up, although
with more difficulty than at first. A
number of excited Germans cursed the police
roundly in German and Knglish, and a fight
seemed imminent when twenty young fellows
gathered around and gave three cheers
for Sergeant King. That turned popular
opinion his way, and the procession dispersed
peaceably.
The sergeant and Captain Williams, undei
whose orders he acted, said the processions
were broken up siinplj- because they had nc
permit to parade. People could yell as much
as they choose, if they didn't get in line.
The stereopticon kept on wanting to know
why Democrats couldn't parade, and inviting
the crowd to a mass meeting of protestation
before the treasury building ?t o:3(> this afternoon.
The inquiry did not succeed in provoking
a disturbance, and the meeting lias
been postponed. The yelling and bowling o<
the crowd responded promptly to every bulletin,
and it looked as if they bad forgotten
that it was past bedtime.
The Seventh regimental band serenaded
Senator Gorman, Chairman of the National
Democratic Executive committee, at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. Senator Gorman spokf
briefly, asserting that Cleveland and Hen
dricks had carried New York.
At 11:40 a crowd of roughs came over in a
body to the front of headuuarters. Thev began
to groan and jeer, anu the large Blaine
crowd replied. A savage fight followed, in
which fully a dozen men took part. The two
crowds attacked each other, and a serious
riot was threatened. Roundsman Chapman
was on the steps of headquarters, and thero
were eight unusually large policemen held in
reserve in the hall. He called them out, and
they charged the crowd with drawn clubs.
Thev tossed men to the right and left like
children, and forced their way to the fighters.
These they soon dispersed. Five minutes
later there was another light in which
canes were freely used and several hats
smashed. Another chargo of the police ended
that. No arrests were made, and nobody
was hurt by the clubs.

THE ELECTIONS.
Revised Returns From Every
State in the Union.
Cleveland and Hendricks the Successful
Candidates.
The following election returns are
made up from the latest telegraphic reports
to the New York papers, and are
correct up to. the hour of going to press:
ALABAMA,
Montgomery city gives 500 majority
for Blaine. Scattering returns from different
quarters of the State show that
Cleveland carried the State by a large
majority. Democratic Congressmen are
probably elected in all the eight districts.
ARKANSAS.
A Little Rock dispatch says the State
has gone Democratic by the usual heavy
majority. A solid Democratic Congressional
delegation was elected.
CALIFORNIA.
In California 286 precincts and ward? in
forty-four counties give Blaine 20,620,
and Cleveland 21,820. The same places
gave Garfield 21,674 and Hancock
18,71S in 1880. Later returns give the
State to the Republicans by about 8,000
majority.
COLORADO.
Denver dispatches say: The indications
are that Blaine has carried the
State by 4,000. Eaton (Republican), for
governor is elected by 2,000, and Symes
(Republican), for Congress, by a still
less majority. Breene (Republican), for
lieutenant-governor, is probably defeated.
CONNECTICUT.
With thirteen small towns to hear
from, which will not change the result,
Blaine has 6S,443; Cleveland 64,146:
scattering. 3,587. Harrisou (Rep.), for
governor, 63,847; Waller (Dem.), for
governor, 65,594; scattering, 2,787.
Representatives?144 Republican, 80
Democratic. Cleveland's majority in
the State is put at 1,200. Waller,
Democratic candidate for governor,
did not obtain the necessary
majority over all, and the gubernatorial
election goes to the legislature,
which is Republican.
DELAWARE.
Delaware went Democratic by an esti
mated majority of between 2,000 and
8,000. Love was re-elected Congressman.
FLORIDA.
A Jacksonville dispatch says that indications
point to the election of Perry,
Democrat, for governor by 5,000 majority,
and the Cleveland electors by 4,000 majority.
Both Davidson and Dougherty,
Democrats, are elected from the two
congressional districts by safe majorities,
and the State legislature will have an increased
Democratic majority in both
houses. Later returns placed the Democratic
majority at 4,000.
GEORGIA.
The returns indicate the election of
the entire Democratic delegation to Congress.
Cleveland's majority in the State
will approximate SO,000.
ILLINOIS.
A Chicago di.-ipatch says: Reports
from all over the State indicate a heavy
vote. The most conservative probabilities
are that Blnine will come to Cook
county by at least 20,000 plurality. The
outlook now is that he will carry the
State by 1.1,000 plurality, and that Oglesby's
plurality for governor will be
considerably under 10,000. Later returns
confirm this estimate. It was believed
the legislature would be a tie on
joint ballot. The legislature will elect a
United States Senator.
INDIANA.
An Indianapolis dispatch says: "All but
fifteen counties have reported to the Democratic
State committee, showing Democratic
gains, 5,587; Republican gains,
5,563. This on basis of 1882, when
the State went Democratic by 10,684.
Gains and losses in fifteen counties can
not possibly reduce the Democratic majority
of 1882 more than 2,000, leaving
Cleveland 8,000. The legislature will be
Democratic, which insure Voorhees' return
to the Senate." Fuller reports confirmed
this estimate.
IOWA.
Returns from various sections of the
8tate indicated that it had been carried
for the Blaine electors by about 80,000
majority over the Fusionists. The Democrats
probably elected Congressmen in
the First, Second, Fourth &nd Sixth districts.
The Seventh, Eighth, Tenth and
Eleventh are Republican.
KANSAS.
The Republican electoral ticket, with
all the Republican candidates for Con
gress was successful in Kansas by large
majorities.
KENTUCKY.
Louisville dispatches says the returns
from the county seats throughout the
State declare that the election passed off
quietly, and full vote was polled. The
State will give a the usual Democratic
majority. The Democrats elect a full
Congress delegation. There is a Republican
loss of two in the House of
Representatives.
LOUISIANA.
A New Orleans dispatch says: "The
election passed oil quietly. Few returns
have been received, but they indicate a
clean sweep for the Democrats." Later
returns give the Democratic electoral
ticket 20,1)00 majority.
MAINE.
The vote 90 far shows Republican
gains over September, and the Kennebec
Journal (Republican) says the indications
are that Blaine will carry the State by
25,000. Later figures do not vary mueh
from this estimate.
MAltTJ.AND.
In Maryland the Democratic electoral
ticket was successful by about 16,000
majority, and the Congressional delegation
stands live Democratic to one Republican.
MASSACHUSETTS.
A Roston dispatch says: "The Repuolican
majority of 50,000 for Garfield has
disappeared, and there remains only a
plurality of it few thousand for the Hepublican
ticket. If the Independents
who cut off the head of the ticket or
voted for St. John had voted ns was expected,
Blaine would have failed to carry
the State. It is thoueht the Blaine plurality
will be within a few hundred of
10,000.'' More complete returns changed
this estimate to a plurality of about 24,000
for the Republican electoral ticket.
MICHIGAN".
In Michigan first returns from 131
nrprinptfl. ir.ivn Rliiino 20.74R : (Jlevc
land, 17,11/3: Hutlcr, I],912; St. John,
:{.54:3; Alger for governor, 20,130; Hegole,
10,883; Preston, 2,085: a Democratic
net gain of 2,584. Later returns
indicated the success of the Republicans
by a small plurality, while the gubernatorial
race was close.
MINNESOTA.
Minnesota has given the usual heavy
majority for the Hcpublican electoral
tickct.
MISSISSIPPI.
The Democratic majority in Mississippi
iB between thirty-five and forty thousand.
The entire congressional delegation it
electcd. Chalmers (Hep.) is defeated in
the Second district, and Pearce (colored).
Republican, ran behind tho presidential
ticket in the Shoestring district.
MISSOURI.
M. K. MtGrath, the secretary of stab
of Mieaouri. gave his views of the situation
there as follows: "There being only
two electoral tickets in this State, the
majority for the Cleveland electors will
be CO,000 to 75,000. The Democratic
nominee for governor will have a plurality
of 50,000 to 60,000, and a majority
of 25,000 to 85,000. The Democratic
State ticket, other than that for governor,
will have a majority equal to that
of Cleveland. Outside of the governor
and lieutenant-governor there are but
two full State tickets?the Prohibitionists
having nominated only the two leading
candidates. I look for the election
of a full Democratic Congressional delegation
of fourteen members."
NEBRASKA.
The total vote in Nebraska will be
fully 125,000, an increase of 25,000 over
last year. The Republican electoral ticket
is carried by an estimated majority of
from 20,000 to 25,000.
NEVADA.
One-half the official returns from Nevada
indicated that the State had gone
for the Republican ticket by about 1,000
majority. Further returns placed the

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
A Concord dispatch says: "Sixty-eight,
towns show steady Republican gains.
The Democrats concede the loss of the
State for electors, governor, both Congressmen
aDd the legislature. The proposition
for a constitutional convention was
carried by a largo majority. The Prohibition
vote was very light, and that for
Butler still lighter." The Republican
plurality was put by later returns at between
8,000 and 4,000.
NEW JERSEY.
A Trenton dispatch says: "Full returns
from every county in the State
give Cleveland a plurality of 2,519. The
btate senate is Republican by one majority,
and the house is Republican by
ten majority."
NEW YORK.
It will take the official count to exactly
determine the vote of the Empire State.
The New York Sun (Anti-Cleveland) Baid:
"Our special correspondents have telegraphed
the vote complete from 54 of tho
60 counties, and the remaining counties
have been very closely estimated by experienced
news gatherers and politicians
nn fVio annf The? indiratn A nlnral.
ity of 1,G43 for the Democratic candidate.
On the other hand figures gathered
by the associated press indicate a
slight plurality for Mr. Blaine." The
Butler vote in this State was estimated
by the Sun at between 18,000 and 20,000.
and St. John's vote at from 22.000
to 24,000. The Times put Cleveland'c
plurality at about 1,300. The assemblj
will stand about 74 Republicans to 54
Democrats. New York city clected exMayor
Grace and th'e rest of the County
Democracy and Citizens' municipal
ticket with the exception of coroner.
Tammany got the coroner and two out
of the three judges.of the court of com
mon pleas. Both National committees
i issued addresses from their headquarters
I claiming- the election. Revised returns
I of the Associated Press gave Cleveland j
! majority. Thousands of congratulatory
I telegrams from all parts of the union
[ came pouring in upon Governor Cleve|
land at the executive chamber, and man)
, private houses were decorated in his
j honor. Among the telegrams received
| was one from Jay Gould.
NORTH CAROLINA.
A "Wilmington dispatch says that "re|
turns from many counties remove all
doubt as to the result. The Republicans
concede the State to the Democrats on
both presidential and State tickets.
The Democrats claim that their majority
| will not be less than 10,000. 'mere
I seems to be little doubt that the Demo)
crats have eight out of nine Congress1
men, beiner a gain of one." Further reI
turns confirmed this estimate.
I
OHIO.
A Cleveland dispatch says: Cuyahoga
I county will give Blaine a round majority
I of 5,000?a Republican gain of at least
I 2,000 over the October election. In 1880
Garfield carried the county by nearly
7,009. This would indicate, as comEared
with that yeur, that the Democrats
ave gained nearly 2,000. The Scott law
decision did not make any difference with
the Democratic vote, as confidently expected.
Latest reports would seem to
indicate that the State has gone Republican
by at least 20,000, a Republican gain
of about 13,000. Further returns confirmed
this estimate.
OREGON.
Oregon is Republican by from 1,500
I to 2,000. Armstrong (Republican) is
elected to Congress.
PENNSYLVANIA.
A Philadelphia dispatch says that
almost complete returns from sixty-three
out of sixty-seven counties in the State
show a net gain for Blaine of 23,306 over
Garfield's vote of 1880. This would indicate
that Blaine's plurality over Cleveand
will not be less than 00,000. The
delegation will stand twenty Republicans
1 and eight Democrats, a Republican gain
i of four. The legislature will be dej
cidedly Republican in both branches,
thus secuiing the election of a Republi|
can United States Senator to succeed J.
i Donald Cameron. Complete returns from
' all the legislative districts in the State,
; except one county, show that the State
senate will have "thirty-one Republicans
and nineteen Democrats, and the house
140 Republicans and fifty-nine Democrats,
with two doubtful districts.
RHODE ISLAND.
The Republican electoral ticket in
I Rhode Island was successful by an esti|
mated majority of 5,000.

State tickets are elected by majorities
I ranging from 35,000 to 45,000 majority.

plurality of 825. The estimated
epublican plurality is 23,000.
VIRGINIA.
A Richmond dispatch says: Official
j and semi-official leturns from fifty-nine
! counties and all the cities of Virginia
j give Cleveland 11,784 majority. These
| returns embrace many of the large ReI
publican counties, and indicate that the
I State will give Cleveland from 11,000 to
j 10,000 majority. ' Furtiier returns give
, the Democratic majority at about 12,000.
WEST VllUil.MA.
A Wheeling dispatch sajs that "returns
from eighteen counties, exactly oncI
third of the State, give a net Republican
gain of 1,900 over the October election.
There are fifty-four counties in the State.
This ratio would give the Fusion ticket,
Blaine and Butler, 1,900 majority.'' La
ter advices, however, gave the State to
the Democratic electors by about 4,000.
WISCONSIN.
A Milwaukee dispatch states that returns
from 188 towns and wards show n
net Democratic gain of 7,778 on the
presidential ticket as compared with
1880. Hhould a proportionate gain be
shown for the Democratic ticket in the
remaining precincts. Blaine will have carried
the State by 10,000 majority. Later

Democratic gain. Another dispatch from t
the chairman of the Democratic State j
committee says that "Wisconsin is pro- :
bably for the Blaine electorial tickct be- <
twecn 5,000 and 6,000 plurality." Still j
later returns gave the State tc tho Re- j

TERRIBLE EXPLOSIONS,
Ten Men Killed and Others Wounded
In Pcnnitylvania* .
A Reading (Penn.) dispatch says:* The
dynamite works of H. W. Stump & Co., three
quarters of a mile from Stouchsburg, a village
of 500 inhabitants, blew up this afternoon,
shaking up the country for a distance
of from ten to twenty miles. Tho v>
works consisted of five frame buildings, the
timbers of which were sent flying in all diroo
tions, nothing remaining but the foundations.
AH the men in the building were kiiled, so the
cause of tho explosion will never be known.
The names of the killed are Frank Statzr ~
married, aged thirty years; Frank Kapp, I
a^ed twenty-one years, single, and Joseph
kraus, aged twenty-five years, single.
The buildings contained an unusual quantity aXD** .Jg
of dynamite: hence the terrific shock. whiqUHp *, "'j3m
was heard as far east as Reading, nearljSjjjK^.. J
twenty miles away. Windows were brokeny
in many houses in Stouchsburg, manv j?rsons
were knocked off their feet, ana mir- B
rore and pictures were shaken off the walls. ' >1B
A church and several houses were nnroofed.
The victims were literally blown to atoms. V
At Robesonia, ten miles from Stouchsburg,
a number of masons were wonting at iac ?
bottom of Ferguson & Co.'s furnace stack, M
which they were relining with new Are brick. V
The stack was probably 100 feet high and 9
the work was nearly completed. Ten men 9
were in the stack, some at the bottom, and I
others on the scaffolding above. Just as the
shock of the dynamite explosion was felt S
the stack quivered, there was a rumI'ling
noise, followed immediately by
a great deluge of bricks, completely
burying six men in the bottorn
of the stack. If they were not instantly
killed they will be bunied to death, as the
scaffolding is burning and they cannot bo
reached. The names of the buried men are: *
John Wenrich, Henry Spangler, Henry Stott, ! ;59
Fred Foreman, David Parsons and Joseph ;5fiG
Reed. Four or five others were wounded, * :
The excitement is intense, crowds of people.
including the widows and orphans of the un- .
fortunate men, surrounding the stack. ' .^gjS

escape from the building sixteen people were
killed and twelve others seriously
injured. The performance had proceeded J
without any interruption until -'^s!
shortly after 9 o'clock, when some person I
I shouted "Fire!" The whole audience instantly
i rose to their feet and made a rush to the sevI
eral doora. The great mass of people who occupied
the pit in escaping therefrom met the
; crowd that was descending the stairway's ?
from the gallery and a fearful blo:-k ensued.
Loud cries of distress and shouts for help
I arose from the mass of frightened, panic
j stricken and struggling humanity. The crowd
was adjund by the officers of the theatre and
by the police to hold back, but the warmings
and appeals were unheeded. The crazed
crowd frautieally rushed toward the outlets,
! tramping and jumping over each other until
| they reached the street. When the theatre .
! was finally cleared sixteen corpses were
, found on the stairs lea< ling from tlie gallery,
and twelve pel-sons were so badly injured that
they only gave evidence that life was uot exI
tinct by their piteous moanings. Upon the
I first alarm being rung through the
I (ity the whole fire brigade quickly went to
1 the rescue, and with the police did their uti
most to allay the panic and rescue the crushed
victims, but they were too late to be of much
effective service. The police force, nided by
volunteers, rushed into the building and endeavored
to keep the entry clear by aiding all.
they could to escape to the street, but the
crowd was so largo that they were sadly interfered
with in their humane labors.
