THE REPUBLICANS CARRY THE COUNTRY BY A HEAVY VOTE. Al the "Doubtful States" Give Their Elec toral Votes Against the National Democ racy-Details of the Result. Every State voted for Presidential electors on the 6th instant. Every State except Maine, Oregon and Vermont elected members of Congress, each or ganized Territory elected delegates and State offices; and members of the Legis lature were chosen by Colorado, Con necticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, In diana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne- ] sota, Missouri,Nebraska,North Carolina, 1 South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. - California elected her Legislature, Chief Justice and Associate Judge of the I Supreme Court. Iowa and Ohio elected minor State officers. Nevada elected a Supreme Judge, regents of the Univer- t sity and Legislature. NewjHampshire and Tennessee elected a Governors and Legislatures. New Jer sey elected the Legislature. New York elected a Governor, Judge - of the Court of Appeals and Legislature. Pennsylvania elected the Supreme Court, Auditor snd Legislature. Proposed amendments to their con stitutions, or general laws, were voted upon by Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Ne- v vada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. The interest in the contest centred chiefly on New York, and next on New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. New York. t NEW Yonm, November 6.-2.45 A. M. 8 -Returns received at the United Press office by counties, by majorities which t] are estimated, indicate that Harrison has ) carried New York by about 10,000 C plurality. n NEw YoR, November 6.-The Herald ti this morning says: At the hour of going o :o press with our first edition, the prob- 15 abilities indicate the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency. This opin- c] ion is based upon dispatches received o from all the States in the Union and t which may be divided as follows: t] Cleveland-Alabama, Arkansas, Con necticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, P Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis- s( issippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North n Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, o Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia,- ci 168. Harrison-Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, k ansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michi an, Minnesta, Nebraska, New Hamp- h: hire, New York, Vermont and Wiscon- a sin-207. h Doubtful-California, Nevada and In- A liana-26. Necessary to elect, 201. Conceding the votes of Connecticut ad New Jersey to Mr. Cleveland and regarding Indiana, California and Ne- e ada as .doubtful, Gen. Harrison has a ir majority in the electoral college. The e figures show the election of David B. C Hill as Governor, and of Hugh J. Grant k is mayor. Political lesson of the elec- rl ion is that the national supremacy of Is the Democrat party has been sacrificed - to the ambition of David B. Hill and r Lbram S. Hewitt. h NEw YonE, November 6.-The city a 3omplete gives for Mayor, Grant 107,- a i37, Hewitt 68,134, Erhardt 67,725, to oogan 9,455. NEW Yox, November 6.-Total city rote, allowing for 4 election districts in ais of vote 852 districts, Cleveland0a 162,907; Harrison ,105,821; Fisk 1,300; Nin hnred and eleven outside dis trits give Harrison 222,599; Cleveland 176,851; Fisk 104,657. - The same in 1884 gave Blaine 198,552, leveland 163,457, St. John 9,620. ~EW YORE. November 6.-Returns al- t] edy received indicate that the entire ammany city and county ticket is eketed by a large plurality. Th.e Re-5 >ublicans run about oven with the coun-c y Democrats.. Nxw Yonx, November 7.--There is t nothing to change the indications that s arrison has carried this State. The y official count in New York city gives a arrion 105,726 and Cleveland 162,981;l leveland's majority 57,255. The Evening Telegram (Dem.) says a Harrison carries the State by about 0,000 and Hill by 17,000. The Commercial Advertiser says late returns indicate the election of Hiarrisoii, y nd that Hill has 10,000 plurality. The Mail and Express (Rep.) says e Harrison has the State by over 10,000- ~ The World says Cbairman Brice re-C uses to concede Harrison's election. He has not yet conceded New York State. The Republican National Committee ~ make the following statement to the Sublic: REULCAN NA'IrONAn H EADQUARTERIS, C November 7.-In view of c aim being 8 promulgated by the Democratic National ( Committee that they have carried the State of New York for Cleveland, and that they are sending telegrams to their local committees all over the State to e that effeet, the Republican National I Committee have sent out to the Chair- e man of each Republican County Coin. t mittee of the State the following tele- a gram: Although full returns from every I county in the State show New York sately for Harrison by upwards of 15,000 plurality, the Democrats are telegraph ing to their county chairmen claiming the State and urging them to pay atten tion to the returns. See to it that thet returns are thoroughly guarded till 1 <I fibialy canvassed. In ca~se of necessity, - employ counsel. Notify us of any tampering with returns. Communicate with your town committee at once if I necessary by special messenger. M. S. QUAY, J. S. FASSETT. AIBANY, November 7.-The Evening Journal estimates a plurality of 12,000 for Harrison and 7,000 for Hill in New York State, and a Republican gain of nine Assemolymien. The Congressional delegation is unchanged in political pro portion. NEw Yoax, November 7.-Returns have been coming in slowly all day, but unless some most unexpected reverses of the State votes already known tran pies the elect:ion of Hamrson may be Indiana. INDIANpores, November 7.-Eigh hundred and forty precincts in Indian give Harrison 132,547 and Clevelani 125,813. The same precincts in 188: gave Blaine 130,367 and Clevelani 119,910. Full returns from twenty-seveI counties out of ninety-two show a net Republican gain of 2,355. The Repub lican State Committee claim that Ham son has carried the State by 5,000 pln rality. The Democratic committee claim the State by 3,000 to 6,000. The Feeling in Washington. WASHINGTON, November 7.-Business was especially suspended in the depart ments and at the White House. Several members of the cabinet called on the President, as also did Justice Lamai and Chief Justice Fuller. They did not remain long, however, and- Secretary Whitney remarked on leaving that he was not surprised attheresult, especially in New York, where he had for some days past seen evidences of Republican success. He said he thought the change was due to the persistent presentation of the false idea that tariff reform meant free trade. It seemed impossible in the length of time given to the campaign to educate to educate the masses. Shortly after noon Mrs. Cleveland, who spent last night at the White House, took a carriage and drove quiet ly to Oak View, where she will be kept informed by telephone of any later news. In the departments the Democratic clerks and officials are wrestling with figures and possibilities and rumors, and hoping that some unexpected develop ment may yet give the result to Cleve land. Secretary McPherson, of the Republi can Congressional committee, puts the next House at 14 Republican majority. "Well, we are beaten," said Colonel Lamont, as he entered the White House this morning. "I stayed at the White House until 1 o'clock looking at the re turns, and there seemed no doubt of it. Republican gains in the interior of New York were heavy, and there was a stir up in sing's county that I don't under stand. I thought it had gone against us at 8 P. ." At 1 o'clock this afternoon a salute of 218 guns, one for each electoral vote claimed by Harrison, was fired by the Republicans on the White lot, adjoining the White House grounds. Business has been at a stand still and in the de partments today. Colonel Lamont says Governor Hill had done all he could for the ticket, and the vote he got in excess of Cleveland was largely from the Republican liquor interest. ESTIMATED MA.OnITY BY STATES.

The contest in South Carolina on the th instant was a one-sided affair, except in a very few counties. With the excep tion of ain unimportant disturbance in Sumn ter and one in Hampton, the whole election was very quiet. The Democratic vote was noticeably small everywhere. We give belowv items from the counties where there was anything of special importance. From Aiken. The election at Aiken passed off quietly. No disturbances of any kind occurred. The vote was as follows: At the Federal box: Total vote cast 530, of which Cleveland received 360; Harrison, 1f85. For Congress: Tillman, 364; Smith, 162. A t the State boxes: Total vote cast, 309; for Governor, 299; State officers, 294; So licitor, 296; State Senator, 283; Represen tatives, 296; other county officers, 286. Cnstitutionasl amendment relative to Pro bate Judg!e-Yes, 190; No, 84. Constitu tio'nal amendment for School Commission er-Yes, 208; No, 85. From Beaufort. Returns come in slowly. Col. Elliott made a fine run, and Miller's majority is not near as large as was expected. W. J. Virdier, a staunch Democrat, has been elected to the State Senate. The county fusion ticket met with entire success. From Sumter. There are three precincts yet to be heard from. Those beard from give Elliotta majority of 850. Bishopville, Manchestei and Carter's Crossing are not yet in. Elliott's majority in the county will proba bly reach 1,000. The whole county ticket is elected. From Oconee.. The followixrg is the result of the vote in Oconee county: For President: Cleve land, 1,213; Harrison, 237. State officers, 1128. Congress, Cothran, 1.225. State Senator: R. E. Mason (Dem.), 1,158; T. Y. C. Fahnstock (Ind.), 313. The county ticket received the same vote as the State. A builder says there is now a general de mand for grates in houses, not so much foi heating purposes as on account of thi cheerful feeling inspired by open fires, ani because no modern home is considered comn plete from an artistic point of view withou them. eonsidered as certain. The leading newspapers, of all political faiths, con. cede a Republican victory, but the Democratic National Committee still continued to assert that they do not give up New York. This claim, however, as the day went by with no material change in Republican majorities in the up ounties already reported, and as each sew county showed continued Republi :an gains, gradually lost effect in Wall treet, and with immense throngs in the Streets in front of the two national head luarters and newspaper offices; and o-night the streets are given over to Republican paraders and the song Grover's in the cold, cold ground," is )eing hummed everywhere. A report his morning that Illinois was doubtful, -evived Democratic hopes, and whe The iews issued an extra claiming Cleve and's re.election on this report, the ex :itement was intense. In Wall street he market became weak and feverish, ad Republicans looked anxious. By 2 o'clock, however, with bulletins rom Repiblican headquarters from ,uay, assuring Republican success, and ater reports stating that Illinois was are for Harrison by twenty thousand he excitement subsided. A second rumor became current in the fternoon that an error had been dis overrd in the vote of Kings county, iving Cleveland ten thousand more ma rity. This was soon disproved and enied. New Jersey being conceded to the )emocrats by six thousand to eight iousand, all eyes turned toward Con ecticut and Indiana. Returns came cry slow from both States, but at 6 P. I. a careful estimate gave Connecticut > Cleveland by about four hundred iajority and Indiana to Harrison by tree thousand to four thousand. In onnecticut the vote is so close that an ficial count may be necessary to decide :e contest, as has been the case in that ate several times before. Nevada is Republican by about one iosand, Oregon by four thousand, and ichigan by about twelve thousand. alifornia and West Virginia are still such in doubt, both sides claiming iem, with chances in favor of the Dem erats in the former, and of the Repub cans in the latter. In New York City Tammany Hall's ear sweep of all offices astonishes every se. The reports from the interior of eo State show that the vote of Hill leads at of Cleveland in about the same pro ortion as that indicated earlier, and Dint to a plurality for Hill of about venteen thousand. Hill's great run is Lade the universal expression of the pinion that he will be the next Demo -atic Presidential candidate. Cleveland's defeat in the State is due his reduced majorities in Kings and eens counties, and Warner Miller's igh license candidacy and admirable nvass of the State, which cut the pro. ibition vote in the up counties to pieces. s far as can be judged, the tariff issue layed but little part in the matter. De sw's influence with the railroad vote layed also a part. Much indignation is cpressed over the I3emocratic defection t Kings county, and charges of treach y are openly made against Boss Mc hurin. In the city Republican heelers ifed Ehrdardt for mayor. The cor eted State vote at 6 P. M. gave Cleve nd 77,732, Harrison 87,773, Miller 3,S63, Hill 69,997. In the city Grant ceived 114,138, Hewitt 70,931, Ehr ardt 70,873 and Coogan 9,617. The >llapse of Coogan, the labor candidate, ho claims to have spent over a hundred iousand dollars on his election, is sur rising. General Harrison telegraphs Senator ay'as follows: "Accept my heartiest agratulations. .I owe my success in reat measure to your untiring efforts." He also telegraphs that his advices ive a Republican majority in Illinois of rentyfive thousand, Indiana six thou md or seven thousand, and California x thousand. Chairman Brice and Chairman Mar ia, of the Democratic State Committee, ic not visible this afternoon to re orters who endeavored to obtain a atement from them as to the King's iunty vote. Secretary Defreest, of the tate c'ommittee, being interviewed on le subljct, said: "I e m't tell what the tate committee will do, but you can say e grossest kinds of frauds prevail, not nly in the county, but in several other arts of the State. We have an investi ating committee at work on the returns ow, and I assure you they will take ro upt action." NEw Y'RK, November 8 -An exira dition of the World say s: Chairman rice of the Democratic National Exec tive Committee concedes the election f General Harrison. Captain Mc leman, Chairman of the Campaign ioi.tee, was the only member of the atnal Committee at headquarters this iorning, and he made the authoritative nnouncmient of Chairman Brice's con ession of a Republican victory. The World puts California and In iana in the Republican column and iv Harrison 233 votes in the Electoral ollge. New .Jmrey. TREsTOx, November 7.-The Demo ratic plurality in New Jersey is now 'ut down at 5,000. The Democrats leted to Congress are Geisenheimer in he third district, Fowler in the fourth nd McAdoo in the seventh. The Re ublicans elected are Bergen in the first, ~uchanan in the second, Beckwith in he fifth and Lehlback in the sixth. The ~egislature will be Democratic by a close ote. The Senate stands Democrats 11, ~epubicans 10. This is the first time a ten years that the D~emocrats have had he Senate. The lower house is claimed y the Republicans to be a tio, but the )emcrats say they have a majority. Lhe closeness of the Legislature will ake the race for United States Senator mext winter unusually exciting. Connecticut. HARTFoED, November 7.-Editor prey of the Post says: "Connecticut ives Cleveland 384 plurality, but error n New Haven may change it to Harri Later State returns elect Congress nan Edward W. Seymour, Dem., in the ourth district by the vote of Newton. Eis majority is 398. The Congresssmen are thus equally divided, two each. HARTFoED, November 7.--Completer returns in the State give Cleveland 74,904, Harrison 74,519, Fisk 7,181; Clevland's plurality 385. BLAINE GIVEN THE LIE. Hugh S. Thompson Shows the Utter Falsity of the btatements of the Plumed Knave Respectiug the Treasury. A Washington special to the New York Herald says: I called to-night at the residence of Acting Secretary of the Treasury Hugh S. Thompson, in relation to the following declaration made by Mr. Blaine in his speech at New Haven, Conn. Mr. Blaine is quoted in to-day's Herald as saying on that occasion: "I find that there has been $60,000 loaned to the national banks without interest. I say loaned to the national banks, the pet banks, while only $4, 500,000 have gone to pay the debt of the nation during the past month." Governor Thompson read the para graph carefully, and then with great deliberation said: "I'his is of a piece with the many other wilful misrepre sentations which Mr. Blaine has made about the treasury department. No man who has been as long in paa)lic life as Mr. Blaine, and who is a familiar with public matters as he, could have made that statement and believed it to be true when he made it. Mr. Blaine's obvious purpose was to deceive the masses, but he knew perfectly well that no banker or other business man familiar with the treasury statements, which are issued monthly, would be misled by his mis representations. "The last public debt statement, is sued November 1, shows that the debt, less tae cash in the treasury November 1, was about $4,500,000 less than it was October 1. This Mr. Blaine assumes to represent the actual decrease in the public debt. As a matter of fact," con tinued the actingsecretary, "I purchased during the month of October of the interest-bearing debt over $29,000,000 worth of bonds. I cannot state the premium accurately, as I have not the data at hand, but I should say, speaking generally, that it amounted to upward of $4,500,000 additional, making in all about $33,500,000 decrease in the debt during the month of October." Passing to the oft-repeated charge that the secretary of the treasury had loaned $60,00(,000 to the national banks of the country, without interest, Gover nor Thompson said: "The object sought to be conveyed by this statement is that the' beneficiaries in each case are banks owned or con trolled by Democrats. My best reply to this is a quotation from the speech delivered by Secretary Fairchild at the business men's meeting Wall street on the 13th of October last. IReferring to this very charge Mr. Fairchild said: "I need not add that there was abso lately no favortism in this matter, the banks were designated and deposits made in the order of the applications, politic.il and personal friends and foes were treated exactly alike, the widest possible distribution was sought, until almost every State and Territory had one or more depositories and could use of the money which rightfully belonged to their business. There are a number of banks with deposits of a million and over. I know the politics of the officers of very few of these depositories. But Ihave in my mind now-a half doz n where I know the officers to be promi nent and zealous Republicans, and I can think of but one where the officers are Democrats of prominence. But I have never given a thought to the poh tics of the bank officer. My only thought was the security of the deposit and re lief to the public from financial dis tress.' "Referring to Mr. Blaine's further declaration that out of the $60,000,000 thus loaned a large fund had been pro vided to re-elect Mr. Cleveland, the act ing secretary simply remarked, 'That is too absurdlj false to dignify with a de nial'" The Western National Bank got money on deposit of national securities, just as hundreds of other national banks got it. The amount could not exceed a million of dollars, and in putting it out the treasury knew nothing about the political preferences of any bank pei dent or other officer. Pen Picture of the Midnight Sun. The midnight sun is 'thus discribed in "A Jubilee Jaunt to Norway." Imagine yourself on a ship at anchor looking west or straight in front of you. There is a broad expanse of sea a little to your right hand, behind you will be the rugged coast, and to your left the long. narrow fiord between the islands and the mainland that the steamer has just tra versed. 'You watch the sun as it slowly, slowly sets; the island and the coasts look like a rich, dark purple, and the shadows cast by the ship's mast, &c, grow longer and longer. After a bit, when the sun haid sunk apparently twelve feet from the horizon, it stops and seems to remain stationary for about twenty minutes; then the very seagulls hide away, while the air on a sudden strikes chilly. Each one has an awed, expect ant feeling, and surrounding even the tourist steamer broods asilence that may be felt. Soon the sun rises very slowly once again, and the yellow clouds change with his uprising to even greater beauty, first to the palest primrose and then to a bluish pink. The sky, which was just now rose color, becomes gray, then pale emerald green, and lastly blue. Rock after rock stands out caught by the sun's bright rays, and the reign of day has begun once more. StatIstes of Divorce. The bureau of statistics has been en gaged for a considerable time past in the effort to ascertain the number of divorces that have been granted in the United States during the twenty years between 1866 and 1886. The compilation is very nearly completed. The statistics bear ing upon the subject have been derived from the records of the t wenty thousand courts of law having jurisdiction in tIe matter. The report, it is said, will con tain a vast amount of information of great value from a national point of view, and particularly as a lbasis of future legislation. There is no country in the civilized world where marriage is so easy as in the United States, and where divorces are so common. "Did you ever meet Miss Ruggles's fa ther?" said one travelling man to another. "Yes, once or twice." 'Pretty old man, Iisn't he?" "Not so very; at any rate, lhe is quite young enough to trip the light fantas tic toe." "The light fantastic toe?" "Yes, wlthme on the end of it." AMERIC 1N WOMEN PRE-EMINENT. The Best Dressed, the Best Looking and the Most Stylish. (From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) American women are accustomed to being called the best dressed women in the world, and in a certain way and to a certain extent this is correct. They have more money and more leisure than the women of any country in the world, more freedom in the use of both, and, not being so much hampered by circum stances and traditions, they can draw from all sources and collect in the sum total of their dress something of all other women's best. In other countries-though there is no longer in "society" the distinction and division created by purely national costume-there are differences quite per ceptible to trained eyes, which show both the influence of temperament and the controlling nature of circumstance. The German women, for example, have an exquisite perception of color. They excel in color combination. They pro duce the loveliest embroidery in colors upon linens and other fabrics for house hold uses; but they do not put it into their dress-that is, there is nothing of it seen in the ordinary dress of the mass es. There are two reasons for this: One is their poverty, the other a public opinion which condemns the working woman if she shows any evidence of willingness to attract attention by the gaiety of her attire. If she is above the rank of the peasant, and must be seen upon the streets or in public in her efforts to earn her daily bread, her dress must be black, or absolutely neutral, to pre serve herself from remark, or at least from the inference that she is frivolous. The workingwomen of France are bound in very much the same way; but they have acquired more pecuniary ii dependence; they control almost all the retail business of the country, and if they had the taste for which they receive the credit, would have worked out beautiful ideas. But at this moment France is very much like America; it receives its ideas second hand, and only imposes certain sumptuary laws through the wickedness of its men, who procure whatever is made attractive to their eyes and imagination. In England it is dhfferent. Englishwomen are a type by themselves, and with the energy of the Saxon and the tenacity of the Briton riginate ideas and create conditions which influence the rest of the world. The American woman is French and English when she is not wholly Irish or lie man, while the Austrian woman is ?rench and German, and in her inde pendence and activity are a constant re ninder of the American. But the imerican women has a little of all in her ress. She will wear lace like the 4ustrian, a practicel walking dress like the Englishwoman, all the draperies and caprices of the French demimonde, blends colors like an Orieatal, and loves Cur like a Russian. Sooner or later, moreover, she gratifies her tastes. The girl who dreamed dreams in a cotton sun bonnet, wears $6,000 worth of lace i a London drawing room, where, as an American, she is the equivalent of a luchess. The woman who spent half her life cooking upon a rickety stove in a log cabin is a serene old lady in her Later years, who takes her niece to Europe and wears sealakin coats and India shawls worth a small fortune. DISPLACINtG N:.GHIO LJ3OR. Germans Working on the Lonsiana Plau tations. Sonic remarkable changes in the labor system of Lousiana are taking place. Agent Becker, of the German Society, tates that he had, during October, sent ver a thousand German laborers to the mgar plantations. All these have been sent to the upper coast, the work at La furche and the Teche being on the lowe r oast, on what is called the Orange Belt, egins flly a month later. Mr. Ker ochan, has, ho-vever, already received twenty-five and Governor Warmoth forty, who are asked for to plant cane. Ia atbout a week the for warding of labor ers will begin for that section, where several hundred more will be rc qiured, which Mr Becker expects to be able to supply. Governor Warmoth alone will ire more than one hundred. The agents, observations show that German labor is steadily growing in favor, as well as in importance, both in the cultivation and manufacture of sugar, and will soon prove a formidable c >m ptitor to negro labor, as greatly superior in efficiency and reliabdhty. TLae deesy of the negro plantation labor is marked. n 1863 nine tenths of the plantation ands were colored; in 1878 cight-tenths, and this year the figure is reduced to seven-tenths, with a prospect of a much more rapid reduction in the next few few years. The secret of success in rugar raising is shown to be in small farms and white labor. As a rule the few settlers coming here from New Eng land and the West, of which several hundred families have come in the past two years, will not employ negroes as field hands at all. One, white man in the field is worth two negroes. Meantime the negroes have almost monopolizcd the freight hand business of the cities and landings. As steamboat roustabouts they are always in demand at from $5( to $75 per month and sauce on their pudding, so there is no fear that they will starve. A Murderer Arriated.

The calisthenics drill by Section 3 of Class C of the Girls' Normal School is condemned by Druggist Charles B. Haig, who alleges that the length and severity of the present is re sponsible for the serious illness of his sixteen-year-old daughter, Anna. This is Miss Anna's second year in the Nor mal School, and she belongs to a class that is assigned two hours each alternate week for instruction in the calisthenic department. The girls are all clad in ex ercise suits of flannel and use light wooden dumb-bells and wands for gym nastic purposes. Section 3 consists of sixty girls, the majority of whom have had a year's experience in calisthenic exercises. The delicte pupilawho in cluded a small proportion of the class, are excused from physical exercise on the presentation of a physician's re quest. On Friday night, after her ex ercise in the calisthenc department, Miss Haig was taken with violent pains in the neck and head. By Saturday the right side of her face was paralyzed. Dr. Ziegler, the family physician, ascribed the paralysis to over-indulgence in calis thenie manoeuvres. The young lady has suffered very much, and Mr. Haig says that under no circumstances will he allow his daughter to resume physical exercise when she shall return to the Normal School. The physical exercises are given under the supervision of Miss Grace Spiegle, who is a person of experience in the calisthenic departments attached to pub schools, and is known to be very con siderate of her pupils. "I distinctly re member that Miss Heig was excused from calisthenics all of last term on the presentation of a physician's certificatQ that she was unable to indulge in suh exercises," said Miss Spiegle yesterday. "But Section 3 of Class C has had only one hour this termin calisthenics. But one hour and fifteen minutes actual time in two weeks is devoted by C 3 to my department. The time is dividedin this way: Ten minutes are devoted to the use of the wand and fifteento explaining the physical movement. This interval rests the scholars and another ten min utes are spent in exercising. The girls then recite a portion of the lesson, and after this second rest a short conversation is indulged in, and the session closes with ten minutes more of exercises. I watch the girls very closely, and any cholar who I think is not capable of en during the easy exercises I eGcuse from performing them. Contrary to proving an injury, it has greatly benefitted the young girls, as numbers of. $hen4 es4 testify, and they look forward with pleasure to the hour they spend in my department." Wanted the Postmaster. "Where's the postmaster?" demanded a long, bony woman, with a freckled face, who presented herself at one of the deliv ery windows in the post office the dtlher day. "What is it you wish, madam?" inquired the clerk. "Are you the postmaster?" "No, ma'am, but-" "Thought you didn't look old enough. [Is the postmaster I want, young man. I don't want no truck with you. Will you go and tell him I'd like to see him?'' "He is busy now; but if you will state your business, perhaps I can attend to it. You are keeping other people wait-" "Young man, I've walked eleven blocks to get here, and I pay as much to support this post office as any woman of my means in the city. I'm going to get what I came for or I'll raise the biggest row you ever saw. You're a-listening to me, are you, young man?" "I am, madam. Will you please tell me what you wish'?" "I want to get a letter I mailed this morning to Mrs. Edward Felix Winterbot' tom, Newburyport. Essex county, Mass. She's my cousin--" "What do you want it for?" "I want to write 'In haste' on.the back. I forgot to write it before I dropped it in, and the letter's important." "I can't do such a thing as that for you, ma'am. Besides, it isn't necessary." "It ain't, hey? Perhaps you know mon; about writing letters than I do. Perhaps you're 55 years old and have carried on a crrespondence with friends in the East for thirtyieven years, you long leggedyrtalloi! haired dude. If you~ don't go and fetdh the postmaster-" But the post office policemen gently led her fronm the building.-Chicago Tribune. fleath of Isaac Hame. Speaking of the death of Mr. Isaac Hayne, the News and Courier says: The shock felt at the announcement of he death of Mr. Isaac Hayne was not con ined to the large circle of~ his immediate triends, but extended ;throughout our entire community; and the recent knowl edge of his sickness had not prepared us fr the melancholy tidings. With name and lineage identified through generations with the faithful discharge of high duties, Mr. Hayne in all the relations of life filled the full measure of responsibility. Of blameless life and gentle aud amiable dis position, coupled with a tenacity and firm ness of purpose which never failed, he de served and won the confidence and regard of all to whom he was known; andhis loss will be widely and deeply felt. Mr. Ilayne was graduated from the South Carolina College in the class of 1858; and it was characteristic of him that his college friends remained his life-long friends. He s uidied law in the office of Hayne & Miles, of wh ich firm his father, the Hon. Isaac W. IHayne, Attorney General of South Carolius, was the senior member, and was admitte;1 to the bar in 1861. Mr. Ilayne was only in his 50th year. and iis career seems to us to have been abrupt y and prematurely ended; but the exam 'le ef his hife will be a heritage not only to iis children, but to the Bar, to the city and to the State.
