Durizg the last half of the caupagn, says the Atlanta Con- stitution, the press and speakers for the single gold standard ap pealed constantly to the public to give the Democrats such a erush- ing defeat that the bimeitallie movement would be killed for- ever. On election night, when the returns began to come in, the Republican figurers sent out enormous majorities for McKin- ley from all the States east of ‘the Mississippi, north of the Ohio}; river and several south of the latter riyer. They claimed 20,000 4n Virginia, 30,000 in West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Garolina, und 50,000 in Texas, with 10,000 in Florida. They gave very small majorities to Bryan in the the Demuvcratic states, and did everything in their ‘power to make it appear that there had bean what they were pleased to term “a landslide.” Bat all the southern States ex- cept West Virginia and Kentucky turned out to have gone Demo- -— gratie by majorities as large as | had been claimed for McKinléy. | Ever: since the Republican pa- - pers haye been rather shy in figuring on the popular plurality. The papers which hava made calculations on this line have gens rally added thousands of votes : gratuitously to Major McKinley’s plarelity in a number of States _ and they have diminished Mr. Bryan's pluralities in the same “manner in the Btates which he The accom iehayiny table [see | o is based on the ble eon phice | have 3 ‘mersion in a bath of 80 grains cal. | | Salt, all of which Lt trum estimate were to ke lowed “| for: Texas, McKinley’ 8 plurahty rt would be only 600,000, or just] |abont 209,000 greater than Cleye-|. lJand’s: plurality over. Harrison four years ago. But taking the | higher estimate, it is from a jand- siidé, because it is only 5} per cent. cf the total vote. In every 58 and Bryan gota fraction | more than 47. Suppose in a contest where there were 500 votes, oae candi- date shouia beat the other by -|twenty-seven votes, the defeat would hardly be considered over- whelming. That is the ratio o1 Major McKinley's vote to Mr. Bryan’s. » | In 1892, Mr. Cleveland received 5.556,b62 votes-und Gen. Harrison received 5,162;874. Cleveland’s plurality was about 394,000, or a \little less than half McKinley’s over Bryan. In 1888, Cleveland received 5, 558,500 to 5,441,902 for Harrison: In that election Mr. Clevaland re- ceived 96,000 more votes than were given to Gcn. Harrison, and yet the latter had a majority ot the electoral college and was e.ected. In 1834, when Cleveland was elected for the first time, the vote between him and Blaine was very close, there being a difference of only 23,000 in a total vote of 10,- 000,000. had @ plurality of 400,000 over the Republican candidate, Alabama gave him 128,0.0 of it and Georgia added 81,060, while Texas chipped in 157,000. The plurality against Bryan this year is small compared to the plurality against Clevelandism two years ago, or the plurality against McKinleyism in 1890, when the Republicans were:turn ed out of Congress aud the Dem- ocrats went in with 150 majority in the House of: Representatives. But, as we said at the outset, ii the white vote be considered, what an overwhelming majority Bryan has !—Fayetteville Obse- ver. htt ahaha EE th The Congressmen elected last week will rot take their seats until December of next year un- less an extra session of Congress is called earlier. It certainly does uot seem right that there ‘should be so long an interval— over a year—between the election of Congressmen and the time when they take their seats, and the Constitution of the United States should be amended so as to remedy this glaring defect. And although this is puinted out and commented on by the Press every ¢wo years, yet it does not seem to have any etfect, for no Congress thas yet proposed this sensible and most proper amend ment.—Pittsboro Record. Last February the Southern Railway was found guilty of ran- ning a freight train’ through Greensboro on Sunday in viola- tion of the law and a fine of $500 ‘was imposed.

THREE SONGS, [M0 friend with a nosepay of wild fowers. PERN. In the forest shadows dim, When the thrush’s evening hymn . With its music, woncrous rare, Fills the twilight like a prayer— There we dance and hope and love, Sheltered by the pines above, Sister, little sister, take us, ” Take us to thy heart. Happy, happy thou canst make us, One of us thou art! MEADOW RUE. Where the rippling streamlet floweth Silently we bow and weep, No one but our Father knoweth Of our angvish, still and deep. Close beside the eddying river, There alone we sob and quiver. Though the world forsake us, Take us to thy heart; Sister, little sister, One of ‘us thou art! WHITH VIOLETS. Where the fern in gladness dances, Where the sad rue droops and mourns, Where the streamlet’s bright wave. glances Whon ‘the spring returns, White as winter’s spotless drift, There our facts we uplift. When the fern laughs, we are glad; When the rue weeps, we are sad. Still we see the stars above us; Still we trust, because they love us. Are they flowers in the sky, Violets that have learned to fly? , ‘We believe and hope and trust, Know that he who made is just, And he never will forsake us While we’re white and pure in heart. Sister, maiden sister, take ua, One of us thou art! Willis Boyd Allen in Youth’s Companion. | Crushite. The results accomplished by the use of ‘‘crushite,’’a new material for sawing and polishing granite, ‘stone and marble, are represented as quite remarkable, the material con- sisting simply of minute chilled cast metal shot varying in size from mere powder to clover seed size. Blocks of granite are now being sawed with this instead of sand at the rate of four inches in depth and hard grit stone at nine in depth an hour with 12 blades in the machine. Itis su. claimed to be capable of doing the same amount of work at one-tenth the cost, and is also being employed insand blast apparatus in place of sand and in substitution of 2ijmond drills fer boring and crilling. The statex.snt is made that in sawing and polishing one ton of this mate rial is equal to about 36. tons of the sharpest sand. The tiny balls are chilled to intense hardness without being brittle, and when struck on an anvil they indent thelaicer. Asthe action of crushite is to roll between the blocks and the saw blade or rub- ber, doing its work by crushing, it retains its spherical shape and cut. ting or crushing power, and as it does not become partially imbedded in the blade sr rubber, as in the case with sand, emery, ete., it is rolled back ward or forward, smoothing the surface by crushing the projecting parts of the block thatis being treat. ed.—New York Sun. Saved From a Lion by Pillow. An English officer shooting recently in Somaliland. One night when he was in bod inside his tent a lion sprang over the rough thorn fence, which it is usual to throw up round one’s encampment at night. Instead of picking up one of the men or animals that must have been lying about asleep inside the fence be would bave none but the sports- man himself, made a dash into his tent and seized bim—fortunately only by the hand. Then by some wonderful piece of luck, as the lion changed his grip for the shoulder, he grabbed the pillow instead and so vanished with his prize. The pillow was found the next morning severai hundred yards distant in the jungle, and outside was also the spoor of a lioness, who had evidently been awaiting the return of her lord with something eatable.—Scribner’s = Me Neem ne ie gett em A Queer Habit of Thieves. - “There is one peculiar fact about a professional thief thatI always notice, and that is that he invaria- bly insists on going into a crowd, where suspicion is sure to rest on him,’ said Detective Murray. ‘‘An- other thing is that you can’t induce these fellows to leave town and go where they are unknown. Then of course when we see them in acrowd the only thing to do is to arrest them. that’ we are hounding him and driv- ing him to commit crimes, bat still he persists in going where he is sure to be noticed. aE osprey Call. oe = wlaed A certain music to be. pet iM in English drawing rooms is an perseding diamond saws and is’ |), W.

I’m sure that her parents would skin her If tuey thought that she smiled on my suit, Her eyes are the purest and brichtest That ever encouraged a hope ; Her skin is tho softest and whitest That ever shed luster on soap; Her hair is the richest and goldest That ever a hairdresser dressed, And her parents are surely the coldest A heroiue ever possessed. Fler voice—it'’s a mezzo soprano— Would make even Patti afraid, And the way that she plays the piano Puts Rubinstcin quite in the shade. More perfect she is than perfection; Resign her I can't, and I won’t! And she looks upcn me with affection, But her parents—oh, bother them—don’t.

A Rheumatic’s Museum. A Fifteenth ward man who has been a lifelong sufferer from rheu- matism has a queer collection of al- ileged ‘cures’? arranged in a neat cabinet. One shelf is devoted to a | series of small, wrinkled objects bles. They are not pebbles, hcw- | ever, but potatoes which have be.- | come almost petrified through being carried a long time in the pocket of the rheumatic gentleman. Each | potato is marked with a small label bearing some such inscription as this: ‘Carried from Nov. 12, 1878, to May 18, 1880. Very efficacious. ”’ The collector claims that the potato carried in the trousers pocket has) proved to be the best of the many remetiies he has ever tried. He car- rics one potato until the return of his rheumatic twinges seem to testi- fy to the decline of the tuber’s cura- | tive properties. Then he takes a new potato, and locks the old one up in bis cabinet. On the other shelves of the cabinet are several shriveled horse chestnuts, a string of amber beads, a dried up rabbit’s foot, the right foot of ‘‘an eastern sho’ crow,”’ a number of iron finger rings, a few horseshoe nails, and several other odds and ends. ‘All these things seem to have given me more or lesy relicf,’’ says the collector.—Phila- delphia Record. Heavy Turkish Fire. I must draw attention to that fea. tare of the Turkish tactics which stamped the war of 1877 with a character of its own, a feature evi- dent in all sections in which I took part, in none more than in the ore under discussion. I refer to the quick fire of the Turkish infantry, of such power, duration and effect as had never before been dreamed of. General Todleben wrote later, ‘‘Such a shower of lead as that with which the Turks hail our troops has never before been employed as & mode of warfare by any European army.’’ It was more instinct, ex- perience, silent consent andl confi. dence in their weapons than training or formulated rales which induced the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt this mode of fighting. I had wit nessed quick fire drillin Widdin, but I venture to say that it was not un- til after the first battle that the offi. cers became really conscious of the terrific power of long sustained quick ‘father’s Hat,’’ detecicd anywhere, is good for ex-President Harrison. | Mr. Blaine. ‘a wonderful fire.
