At last the great agony is over. sndi the patriots who for four m. uths ast hav.- been beating their gongs nd floating their banners to the sky. will now have an opportunity after iaving the nation to spend some little time in saving themselves. It has been a most desperate hat: le for both parties and while the winners feel bat they are fairly ent.tled to success ,e losers feel that they have lost no onor for they did all that mortal uan could do to win. Wh ile popular gover nment may iave its faults, and our systen of hallots may hav-e its drawbacks, it is iuestionale if any form of govern. rnent ever devised by man could be as completely revolutionized as ours has been-with so little disconfo-t and disord r. Tuesday night was stormy, the streets were sloppy and sold. but :ill long after midnight rowds thronged about the d:fferent b-lletin bjoardls eager to catch thre latest item of news that couldi give Lh- m a crumb' of comnfort or informa tion. The day opened.u fairly. thec weather was cool arid cloudy and every one seemed to '-el in a partie rlarly happy mood. fi one who re membo.rs the turburlent elections of forty years ago, last TLuesdlay must have appeared like a Sunday school picuric. In fact, it was marvel Ous to see thousands oft people engaged in a contest ~which to them meant grea' success or absolute failure,.eachr of la.e.g rest parties exerting itself to thre utmost of its energy, and yet without any serious disturbance or riot. To appreciate the ditTerence one must see. a French, a German, or --English riot, the English being the most brutal and rufBanly of them all. An English mob spares neither age nor sex. Remarks which would cause a per. son to be indicted under the inde cency act in the United. States, pass without notice or reprobation in London or Liverpool. Trhe occasion of a popular election is always one of riot and outrage, and on any kin~d of a popular occasion it is no uncomn mon thing :o smash tihe windows of those of opposite political sentiments, Not fifteen years after the battle of Waterloo, as popular a man as the Duke of Wellington fell under the pu..lic ban, and Apsley House was pelted by tire mob till there was not a whole pane of glass left in it fromi cellar to roof. So I felt a little proud as I surveyed the rival hosts on TIues. day and saw "The ballots fall as silently as snow. flakes on the sod. That execute the Freeman's will, as lightning does the will of God.' There was plenty of chaff and rail. lery, some pushing and haulin::, but nothing worthy of tbe name of riot or disorder. As the shadows of night fell the anxiety began to in crease and by nine things were at fever heat. Each new bulletin was received with cheers by the party that derived most comfort from it. while the different exclamations fromr individual members of the crowd brought out roars of langhter whici shook the multitude like an earth quake. If the news was favorable tc Bla'ne some one would roar oul "How :10 you do, 3Mr. Beecher, ' and if the return favored Clevela1d some one would cry "'Bully for M1ulligan ' As t,he hours wore on the excitemneni Increased and neither thre chlni.rr rain, nor the almost freezing atmos~ phere, seemed to have thne sl:gl;tes effect on tire ardor of the partizans and when the grey lights of Wednes day broke cold and checrless, hruu dre- is vet liu-zeredi abiout the differen bulke in hoards. onl whnich thre fate o the rival candidates seemre to stil be undecided. biut as t~e sceora day wore~ on and it became evid,n who ad cetainly won the race thi - e. tement ut)sitled. amil w.iiiI write -eervthii s r tin: alon"g a m.b:!

One thing is very certain, and that is, tow that the fierce compet itioni of last witnter is removed we will see no such opera for years to come as Manager A bbey gave us at t:,, Meti o politan Opera liouse. ~ll;iwhile the new company which dtroppedi down on its like a shooting star. has been filling the Star Theatre with tLhe lovers of good music, and giving us, if not a really first-class performnauce, one thoroughly acceptable, and. which, with a few additions, would make it quit e good enough to put into the Metropolitan Opera [louse. where at popular prices it could be made to pay for the entire season. It is time that we got over the shoddy craze of paying ten, fifteen, or twenty five dollars a night for seats to hear a singer, but it cannot be given ror less if three or four of thle principal singers are allowed to walk off with from eight to ten thousand. dol lars a night.

MESSAGES OF LOVE OR HATE. -Do I know anything of the lan guage of postage stamps?" s:sd a wel known stati:;nery dealer yesterday - I don't know of any book on the sub ject if that is wha you mean, but I havc heard the signification of some of the ;:ays of placing them on en velopes. For instalce. if thce write1 ia g ntleiman who wishes to express love for a ia r damsel he inclines the lahei tt ward the 1. ft. which inethod is repeated by the lady if she is fa vorahl.: to his suit. If. on the con trary. she wishes to give him the cold shuilder, she inclines her label to the ight. A stamp in a perpendiculai post- e signifirs simple admiration when the Iust stands on its head il means that the only sentiment evoked y the suppliant is ridicule. If the s'amp lies on its face it indicates that the wr.ter is dying for love; if it is ly. ing on its hack then the writer has got over his attack of heart disease. A label may be placed wrong way up with an inclination to the left thai t:-lls a story of hopeless attachment. while should it he leaning towards th^ right hand corner it is a sigt that the affection is unrcquited." - Are there any other signs?' "Yes. such as sticking the label ir odd places on the envelope, in wrong orners, using two or even three s amps, making kisses around them near them or in propinqu'ty to them 'T'ese have various meanings and may all h included in the l nguage of postage stamps." "Dil you ever know of any one using this mode of communication?' -!' yon promise not to give m< away I will tell you of a postag< stamp correspondence in which I my self once was a principal participant.'

'-I got f'om a friend of mine somn information about the pos; age A:amf languatre and the language of flowers Every Sunday morning I managedt4 get to church in time to place a smnal homp.me. of flowe:s in her pew, to gether with an empty envelope witi the stampl rufixed in a certain way After awile she dliscovered who he unknown adidirer was.

From the Greenville Ne'ws, In an interview publi-hed on Fri day last in the Charleston News anld Courier, ref'erence was made to this new road as only connecting Colum bia and Charleston. and this in the face of a public annoncement that a charter was to be obtained for this road from Greenville via Laurens, New herry and Orangeburg to Charleston; this short, impregnable central line from the mountains to Charleston, with the opportunity for rapid trans it, will, it Is believed, mulhiply won derfully intercour-e between upper Carolina and Charleston, and attract business largely from the territory east and west of it. We fail to understand how it can be imagined that the project ema nates from the Richmond and Dan vrille corporation. Its stock has steadily sunk to the low figure of "25" on the New York Sto'k Ex change. and this would seem to in dicate that it already possessed all the miles of badly located roads it want d in South Carolina. Perhaps the solicitude exhibited In this interview by Mr. Brawley, the attorney for the South Carolina Rail way Company, grows out of the fact that this new road will represent on ly $15,000 a mile, as against $40,000 a mile of bond debt and $20,000 a mile of stock debt. a total of over $60,000 on Mr. Brawley's road ! And perhaps .the business community of upper South Carolina. and especially of Greenville, Laurens, Newberry, Columbia and Orangeburg, when they realize that $2,500,000, in vested in a clean new road 210 miles long will remove the- freight and passenger burdens to and from Char leston, now imposed to keep afloat $13,000,000 of paper seeurities be tween Cha;rleston and Colnubia alone. may he they will see the point the Midland Railroad scheme makes of rapid transit, cheap fares and freights. ample for the support of a property created on the basis ot $25 to $30 a ton for steel rails.

Emptied of its contents'of peaches or ;oma'oes, discarded and tbrown out it the kitchenga.e, it may soon be tent in at the front door or find an ionored place in the best room in the lonse. Thousands of these cans are athered in Philadelphia every week md made into shining sheets and xsed to decorate or cover large tra reling trunks, and thus get a promo ion from the back yard to the boa loir. On the outskirts of the city, within a short time, a number cf fac ories for the conversion of these old, >uffeted and battered cans and other in refuse from the ash.heaps have sprung up, and the business is a rowing one. One of considerable size is on Moyamening avenue, be ow Miffiin street, where a large force f men is kept busy day in and day )ut. The cans are collected in vart )us ways. but principally from the ,ity ash heaps and the hotels and Large boarding houses. At the factory the soldered seams are subjected to n intense heat in such a way that the solder is allowed to run in a re zeptacle, and is carefully saved and sold, the profit fiomn this s-'ure alone almost paying for the expense of gathering and handling the cans. The tops and bot;oms of tbe cans nre turnred into window-sash weights. The labels on the tin-plates are easily taken off, after having been thorough ly soaked and the plates'themselves rolled out flat by machinery. As dis colored by the contents they present a clean surface and make excellent covers for trunks, the seams being hidden by the trunk braces, either wood or sheet.iron. Other uses are also made of the tin plates, and there is considerahle profit in the business. Th'e process is quite simple, and very little capital is required. One con cern in this city rolled out 40.000 of these plates in less than two months, and the industry promises to be large ly developed both here and else. where. GO A Nu 90 IT.
