American Mattera. INDIANAPOLIS, Ootober 10.-Tho Re? publican Committee claim the State by 2,500 majority. The Democrats claim the State by 1,000. The official coant may be required. The Demomats con? cede the Legislature, which secures Mor? ton another Senatorial term. NEW YOBK. October 10.-Tho Herald figures tho Pennsylvania Republican majority ut 2G.000; Ohio, Republican majority at 15,000; Indiana, majority for Hendricks or Brown 500 to 1,000. The Republicans have undoubtedly gained one Congressman in Indiana,1 and have a majority of the Legislature. Tho official vote may be necessary to de- j termino the State tioket. The Tribune claims Indiana for the Liberals by 1,500 to 2,500. Ohio returns are very incom? plete. The Tribune says the Liberals have elected seven members of Congress -a gain of two-and the Administration have chosen thirtoon. The Government bought no bonds yesterday. i An unsucoossiui conference was held, i last night, between the representatives of Tammany and of the Committeo of Seventy, to unite on a Mayoralty candi? date.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ootober 10.-Returns to noon are more favorable for the Re? publican State ticket. The Republicans claim 600 majority on the entire State tioket. The Democrats concede the elec? tion of the Republican State tioket, ex? cept for Governor, claiming a small ma? jority for Hendricks. The official vote is coming in very slowly, and it will re? quire almost the entire vote to arrive at the result. CHICAGO, October 10.-The men be? longing to the bricklayers' union in this oity are still on a strike for ten hours' pay foi eight hours' work. Some evince a disposition to interfere with non-union men, who are still at work on the old basiB. Yesterday afternoon, a gang of 125 strikers went to McCormick's reaper factory, in course of construction in the Southern part of the city, with the in? tention of driving off the workmen. I They sent a oommittee to request the mon to stop work, and on tho refusal of the contractor to allow them to enter the premises, they threatened violenoe, and the police were called upon to protect the workmen. So far, no farther dis? turbance has occurred. The employers are firm in resisting the demand? cf the i strikers. NORFOLK, VA., Ootober 10.-The schooner J. H. French, from Baltimore for Galveston, with nn assorted cargo, sprung a leak aud was abandoned, early this morning, sever teen miles South-east by South of Cape Henry. The crew was picked up by the brig C. E. Kelly, for Baltimore. WASHISOTON, Ootober 10.-Colonel Robb, of Georgia, and Mr. Savage, of California, two of the commissioner? ap? pointed by tho President to take testi? mony relative to the depredations on the j Rio Grande, having returned to Wash? ington, to-day, called upon President Grant, and had with him a long inter? view. Congress, at its lute session, ap? propriated $6,000 to pay the expenses of the commission. The President was muoh interested in the narrative of these gentlemen, who will prepare a formal report for transmission to Congress; and was evidently gratified with the manner in whioh they transacted the business with whioh they were entrasted. The J incursions by armed Mexican bands into Texas are numerous, and have continued over since 1859. They have since that time driven horses and cattle, estimated to bo worth several millions of dollars, from Texas ranchos aorois the river into Mexico, where their plunder is sold to soldiers and oitizens. General Cortina, not at present in active military ser-1 vice, but on waiting orders, is represent? ed to be one of the most aotive instigat? ors of the incursions, by which he large? ly profits. The Texans, while endeavor- j ing to drive away the thieves, are sometimes killed by superior numbers of the Mox ?can bands; while, occasion? ally, the latter suffer in like manner. Owing to these frequent incursions, the border continues in a state of excite? ment. There is only ono company of cavalry on the frontier, which is of little use, oonsidericg that the distance which requires to be guarded is 800 miles from the meath of tho Rio Grande to the ex? treme American settlements. The in? fantry is located at long intervals. The distance is nearly 300 miles from Fort Brown to RiDggold Barraoks, with only ono camp intervening. Some of the safferors by tho Mexioan raids traveled 200 miles to give their tostiinony, and expressed thoir gratification that prelim? inary measures bad been takon, not only to protect but to indemnify them for losses. General MoOook, commanding on tho Rio Grande, corroborated the statement of the witnesses as to the boldness with whioh the raids are made, and testified us to his inability, with au insufficient force, to give tho required protection. There is DO reason to doubt that the President, in submitting tho report of the commissioners to Congress, will accompany it with a strong recom? mendation that prompt measures be taken to protect our citizens on the bor? der in their lives and property. Count Von Arnim, the first Seorotary of the German Legation,' is recalled from Washington, and will bo succeeded by Count Bernstorff. Probabilities-Over the entire lake region.

NEW YOBK, October 10.-The fourth anniversary of Cuban independence was celebrated this morning. lOOguus were fired. Among the notabilities were Sec? retary T. Luguirre, Gen.

A WEALTHY WIDOW.-The wealthiest | woman in England, in point of real estate, is the Hon. Mrs. Meynell Ingram, a widow about twenty-four years of age. She is the daughter of Lord Halifax, and married, two years ago, Mr. Hugo Meynell Ingram, of Temple Newsman, in Yorkshire and Hoar Cross, in Staf? fordshire, who, at his death, bequeathed to her $250,000 a year in land absolutely. She has no children. Speculation is already rife as to the man on whom her second ohoioe will fall. A gentleman who used to carry on the sheriff business, wholesale or retail, iu Ontonagon County, in an early day, was frequently called upon to quiet tumultu? ous bra,vis, whioh be did by rushing into the crowd und knocking every man en? gaged in the row as flat as a flounder, and then repeating these memorablu words over their prostrate bodies: "Say, boys, what's all this row about? As sheriff of Ontonagon County I command peace." A fellow of eighteen summers invested I in a banana on the cars recently. Ho1 carefully removed tho peel, and put it on the scat by his side, then he broke tho fruit up in small bits, eyeing it anxious ly as hu did HO. Whou this was done he picked up the perd, shook it in his lap, and Anally threw the pieces out of the' window, remarking as he did so, "That's the fust of them prize packages I ever bought, und it's the last, you bet" Financial uni) Commercial.

A Short Chapter on Snoring. BY ABE BICK. I ul opt with ti bachelor friend uv mine laut uite-I mean, mi friend slept with me-I didn't sleep. He was a p'ticklar friend iu every? thing ekcept Huorin'. lu this nokturuul akkomplishmeut ho isn't at all p'tiklar. Ho would az soon snore a break-down az a selektiuu Irom the opera. I was entirely ignorant, uv biz sur priziu' skill on tho uuso when I offered him the hospitalities nv un bed, but I kuose all about it now. He k?me tu mi bed j ist az the red rooster that sleeps in the apple tree krowed 1 o'clock A. M. I happened tu bo awake. I allers am when I ort tu bu asleep. I waz thiukiu' about Danyel in the lion's den, and wou ierin' wi' Dan didn't travel with a me? nagerie. Mi friend locked the door and asked if I was awake. I answered yes, tu the best of my ability. He thou shook me, iz tho' he suspokted sum deceptiou. Next I heurd him skrapiu' matches on the ^vall, and sweurin' in whisper**. Wheu tho lamp waz lit, the wall ap? peared ornamented in imitation uv little brush heaps. He kioked his klothes under the bed, tara both boots at a strngglin' mus koeter, blow out the lite und jumped intu bed. Then be shook me again, un' com? menced telliu' mu whore he'd been, who lie'd seen, and what he'd done thru the sveuin'. He sandwiched his entertainin' kou rersushun with "wouldn't yu? and iidu't yu? and yu bet? und how iz that [or high?" I tried tn keep on tomkin' about Dan? iel, but he wouldn't let me, and I kept inewerin' "yes and no" till 1 thought I ?vould never be able tu sa anything else 'or the rest uv mi daze. Finally I took i desperit rezolve, and rollin' over toards ;he wall stopt nnswerin'. Thiukiu' I waz asleep be kommenced trumann on the head-board with his logera. Theu he remarked to himself hat it waz a thunderin hot nito for Sop ember! and drawin' biz knees up to biz ihin, straightened himself out, dashed loth feet thru the foot-board and carried iway all tho klothes. Then be waz still for ten minutes, and .he old red rooster krowed 2 o'clock. Next I thort I heurd frogs at a dis anco. The noise inkreaued bi gentle logrees till I imagined sambody waz lerenadin' me bi drawin' a heavy plank iver a board fence. Then it thundered; [ rose up and rubbed mi ize. The moon ilung its rays ontu the bed, and I per :eivod mi friend doubled np like the otter S, with hiz head fast under biz irm and suoriu'! Sich 6uoriu as he suored I had never >efore had an opportunity uv witnesain'. I okstrikated hiz head and rolled him iver on hiz side. He bin a blast thru lis nostrils like tho charge from a kavalry ingle, and settled down intu filiu little laws. He kept enlarging the saws and the ?oizo with 'em, till the muskeeters stop ted their huminin and the glass begun 0 shiver in the wiudoz. I shook him, ?ailed him bi name, punched him with ni thumbs, and tried tu kick him on biz lore leg, which I knew he had, but he itack it straight out uv bed beyond mi each. Ho Kept on, regardless uv every bing, directiu' all biz energies, koucen ratiu' all biz sleepiu' thoughts upou tho >ne grund object-snoriu'. I gro fidgety, nervous, fearfully ok iited! In teu minutes, I abood be a ovin' Ional lek. I sprang out on the fljor and rushed br the mateh-box, jist us he discharged 1 volloy like the outburstin' uv Vesoo dus. Thu lite waz struck, and what a .ito! The plustoriu' was droppin' off in ittle scales, mounted by a dead mas teeter, killed by koncussion. The door attled in its traine, the window-glass dicked az the cracks spread ukross them, he bedstead trembled, and the fowls out iv doors hud bin woke up and were jacklin az tho' surrounded bi au army iv weazles. Twenty exscrutiatiu' minutes I spent n fran ti k efforts tu wuke mi friend-not hat he slept the Bicep that knows no vakin-ho was simply suoriu' the snore hat knows no stoppiu'. I dressed, went lown stairs three steps at a tim?, burst nit of doors and hollered fire. Then I usbed madly away from the house, over he bridge, up tho hill beyond-any vhero tu eskape that agonizin' snore, hat belohiu', snortiu', chokiu', ear iplitting', nerve dnstroyiu' nose musiok. [ eat down on a stump. The bucheous oro nv nito waz hi in ho Heaven, for tho man in the moon iud doubtless heard that snoriu' and got tz far off uz possible. The farmers' logs were barkin' far and near, and I leard the fowls at home flyin' away from heir roosts and lightin' outu the barn. I sat there until my nerves kum toge ,her agin, thort sum more about Danyel, ind wont home at sun-rize. Mi friend vas up wnshiu'. Ho said ho bad spent a .ofrennin' nito, aud thort that az be waz die just now, he would sta with me a da ir two longer. I'vo got sum bizziness n town which will tako meat least forty light hours tu transact, and I think I viii sturt rito after breakfast.

A California politician says that tho path of rectitude has boen traveled so little in that State of late years that it lias all rim to grass. The Danbury News says: "Mrs. Auuie Badger, of Danbury, wore tho finest aud largest shaped bustle at the fair.*' > UNCLE JACOB'S ADVICE.-"Tbc fact is. Hurry, you oan'fc afford no fooleries," said my uncle; "you havo your own way to make, and nothing to mako it with but your own head and hands, atid you must begiu to count tho cost of every? thing. You have a healthy and sound body; seo that you tulle caro of it. God gives you a body but once. Ho don't tako o ire of it for you, and whatever of it you lose, you lose forever. Many a chup goes to college fresh and healthy as you aro, and comes out with weak eyes, and crooked back, and yellow com? plexion, and dyspeptic stomach. He bas only himself to thank for it. When you get to college, they'll want you to smoke, and you'll wuut to tlo it, jost for idleuess and good fellowship. Now, be? fore you begin, just calculate what it will cost you. Yon can't get a good cigar under ten cents, and your smoker wants th reo a day, at least. There go thirty cents a day; two dellars and ten cents a week, or a hundred and nine dollars and twenty cents a year. Take the next ten years at that rate, and you can invest over a thoosand dollars in to? bacco smokel That thousand dollars in? vested in a savings bank would give u permanent income of sixty dollars a year -a bandy thing, as you'll find, just as you are beginning lite. Now, I know you think all this is prosy, but though you are amazingly given to figures of rhetoric, after all, you've got to get on in a world where things go by the rules of arithmetic" "Well, undo," I said, a little nettled, "I pledgo you my word that I won't smoke or drink. I have never dono either, and I don't know why I should." "Good for yon! Your hand on that, my boy. You dou't noed either tobacco or spirits, any more than you need water in your shoes. There is no danger in doing without them and greut danger in doing with them; so let us look on that matter as settled." "Now, BB to the rest. You have a faculty for stringing words together, and a hankering after it that may make or Bpoil you. Now, remember, Harry, that an empty bag can't stand upright, and if ever you are lo be a writer, yon must have something tc say, and you have got to dig for knowledge ai for hid treasure. A genius for hard work is the bent kind of genius. Look at great writers and see how many had it. What a student Milton was, and Grethel Great fellows these, like trees that grow in an open lot with branches all round. Composition is the flowering out of a man's mind, when he has made growth, all studies and all learning, and all that makes woody fibre, go into it. Now, study books, observo nature, diligently practice. If you make a good, firm mental growth, I hope to see some blos? soms and fruits from it one of these days. So go your ways, and God bless youl" A Cincinnati youth, guided by the ad? vice of a fortune-teller, sought to make a girl lovo him by means of eleotricity working from under her ohair. When the time came she sprang into the air about three feet, and when she came dowu she landed in her lover's hair and took about two handfuls therefrom, and then told him that she hated him. No match. Poor but dishouest young boys fasten wrought uuils to the end of strings, and harpoon sweet potatoes and apples from their abiding places in front of the stores.
