LATE ELECTIONS.
Since our last issue, return from the
late elections held in the States of
Ohio, Indiana, lowa and West Vir
ginia, show the following result :
In Ohio, notwithstanding the State
has gone Republican on the State tick
et, the Democrats have gained three
members ot Congress, ami the dele
gation now stands 11 Democrats and 9
Radicals.
Indiana lias gone Democratic by a
small majority, but enough to secure
the Legislature and the re-election of
a Democrat as successor to lion. D. W.
Voorhecs to the United States Senate.
This \v*.s an interesting point in the
election in that State. The delegation
to Congress stands 0 Democrats and G
Radicals, and 1 C4reenback. A Dem
ocratic gain of three, as the Democrats
nominated and supported the Green
back! r.'
In lowa the Democrats and Green
backers coalesced and elected two
members to Congress—a Democratic
gain of two, as the State has heretofore
been solidly Republican.
West Virginia has gone solidly Dem
ocratic.
Summing up the result we find that
the Democrats nave gained so far 12
members in the next House of Repre
sentatives.
This practically settles the question
of a majority in that House in favor of
the Democrats, and the indications are
that the majority will be considerably
greater than at present.
Looking at the results from another
standpoint, while the} 1, are favorable to
the Democratic party, yet the majori
ties by which they were secured are
srriall, and the old parties seem to stand
in about the same relation to each oth
er in point of strength as formerly.
Tho Greenbackers and Nationals
polled a much smaller vote than was
generally expected* and have shown
Very little, if any, increase in strength.
This would seem to indicate that the
Greenbackers and Nationals as a par
ty will soon become extinct.
A NEW MOVE AMONG MER
CHANTS.
An editorial in a late issue of
NeW York Sun mentions the fact that
a leading wholesale grocery house in
that city had dispensed with traveling
agents and drummers to sell their
good, and had gone buck to the old
custom of selling direct to their cus"
totriers.
This, in our opinion, is a good move,
and should bfe adopted by all the
wholesale and jobbing hiercliants
throughout the country.
The most successful, j nst and hottest
way of building up the wealth and in
dustry of any country is to give the
fconsunlcrS of its products the advan
tage of every deduction that may be
made in the profits of those who han
dle these products.
The country is at this time overrun
with drummers and agents for com
mercial houses. They are paid large
Salaries and their traveling expenses
iarc beaVy. It must all be paid by the
merchants Who employ them, and an
additional profit must be made on their
goods tc meet their expenses ; and, as
a matter of course, the consumer, in
the end, pays the whole of it. This is
unjust to the consumer an"d the labor
ing class, because it is unnecessary,
and a merchant has no right to force
the consumers of his goods to pay un
necessary expenses.
, Another reason why this system
should be abolished is-, that it gives
employment to a vast army of men
who do nothing to increase the pro.
ducts of the country, or to develop its
resources ; and if their employment
werg dispensed with [they might en
gage in business profitable both to
therrtselves and.tbe country at large.
It is estimated that there at least
thirty thousand of these traveling gen
tlemen employed in the United States,
and that their traveliug expenses alone
are about fix dollars per day. This
would amount to Over $54,000,000 in
one year, besides their salaries. Quite
an item for the consumers to pay for
useless employment, and quite a num
ber of mem that might be adding to the
material wealth of the cotintry in oth
er occupations.

A HEROINE OF TO-DAY.
BY DAISY REID.
Far away in the depths of the pine
barrens of Georgia, where no shriek
ing voice of steam, no rumbling of car
wheels, no telegraphic flashes of intelli
gence as to the world beyond, has, as
yet, ever penetrated, lives an humble
woman, whose life is touchingly beau
tiful and heroic, though uneventful and
tame indeed. The road of the travel
er through this vast tract of lonely
woods ever seems to be losing itself
just ahead among the dark, sCaly pines
as hill and plaiiq and valley stretch out
before him, an evergreen landscape
that would be beautiful, but for its
sameness. Little creeks and branches
belt the hills, and lave the roots of the
thickly set shrubbery that forms a tan
gled, brambly canopy for the wavelets
that babble in laughing eddie3 along
their insignificant channels, and reflect
the yellow spots of sunshine that bold
ly peeps through tho leaves, spying
for the little wild-flowers that love the
cool banks of refreshing dampness.
The twittering and chirping ot birds,
the katydid's lattling cry, the far-off
lowing of herds, the occasional falling
of a pine-cone to the ground with a
heavy thump, are the most familiar
sounds in these woods, if we except
the “song of the pines’’ when a wind
is waving their tops ; and it is oftencst
a lulling, sad refrain that fills the lis
tening heart with responsive sighs,
even though bright and happy thoughts
of the past, or some fond expectation
may be circling through the brain.
Mile after mile is traveled, only an
occasional log house with surrounding
corn-fields coming into view, and
making something akin to disgust of
life and contemptuous pity for the rude
inhabitants.
It is wonderful how long people can
live on these little, narrow homesteads
with so few of life‘s comforts, none of
its excitement and hut few of its hopes
and fears. Yet on one of these unfre
quented isolated spots lives our hero
ine. She is no heartbroken one who
has left the perfumed halls of splendor,
where the brilliancy of a thousand
sparkling lights shimmer down, night
ly, on beauty, fashion and pride, to
weep in loneliness over broken ties,
bitter disappointments and buried
hopes. Her feet have never trod where
greatness, with noisy footffalls, paces
in glorious pageantry. She is not
beautiful, nor refined, as the world
defines the term, nor is she gifted with
the talent she loves to laud. Yet
beauty of soul shines in her character,
the riches of good works and the wis
dom of charity attract the admiration
of every one who knows her.
A number of years ago she left the
agreeable home of a friend to live with
the family of a deceased brother, and
in doing so, assumed no light duty to
be cast off at any change of inclination,
but an earnest life-work. Her wid
owed sister-in-law is a fretful, peevish
invalid, who m ikes much unnecessary
work for poor Mary. But no com
plaint is ever heard, though it is well
known She finds many an acrid, hitter
drop in her cud, where, instead, might,
and should be found, the .sweetness of
sympathy. The amount of hard, de
pressing work she does to get a sup
port for the family, is astonishing.--
AU the drudgeiy of the house-work is
done with her own hands, and she docs
not refuse to help in the. field, even to
plough , when necessity demands help,
and poverty forbids the purchase of
it. Year in and year out, with aching,
over-worked body, and often sore heart,
she is fulfilling her work of love. How
many of the world's great one's would
do as much ?
“The heart which boldly faces death
Upon the battle field, and dares
Cannon and bayonet taints beneath
The needle-po’nts of petty cares,
The strongest spirits they dismay—
The tiny stings of every day.”
Barren, drear as her home is, she
finds time to care for a few flowers.—
Her roses and chrysanthemums are
beautiful. And once inside the walls
of the little big house, one forgets its
bareness, its unlovely situation, be
cause everything is so sweetly clean.
Drifts of snowy white sand cover
the uneven but whitely scrubbed
floor, a little book-shelf, covered with
a protecting white cloth, smoothly
ironed, holds two or three Bibles and
hymn books, a copy of Wesley's ser
mons, Marshall's ‘Life of Washington
a few numbers of Harper's-Magazine,
and various papers that were read for
the first time many years ago. Some
cheap pictures adorn the walls, and
an old broken pitcher, holding fresh
flowers and gn*m leaves, sets on a
table in the corner. What a lowly
home ! Yet its neatness is significant
of what it would be if money or oppor
tunity permitted a change.
I have esteemed it a privilege to
know this girl, to clasp her hard, brown
hand in mine, to sit beside her in Sab
bath school, and listen to her clear
voice as she though
very slowly reads the words of sacred
truth. Every promise seems to me
clearer and surer as they fall from her
lifts, for I know she is sustained by
them ; every line sinks deeper into my
own heart, for I know her lip is so
void of earthly love, vet so lovely in
God’s sight that I yearn for mine to
be like it. Brave, patient Mary, life
seems fairer and sweeter after compar
ing my own lot with yours, yet I know
my life can m Ver teach the earnest,
heart-lesSons you have blessed others
with.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
It proper application Were made of
the refuse material of every household,
there would nearl} 7 always be enough
to supply that household with choice
fruits. Soapsuds from washings thrown
to the roots of grape-vines, peach and
apple-trees produce rapid growth.—
Soot from the chimney and stove is
invaluable as a fertilizer, and so high
ly Concentrated as to require care in
using. Ashes are particularly adapted
to fruit because they correct the acid ;
and as for feathers and other offal from
dressed poultry, their fatness cannot
be surpassed. Bean hulls, onion tops,
coflee-grounds and all such material
should be buried in places contiguous
to vegetation. Bones and old leather
shoes should be thrown into some cask
which will hold water pretty well,
covered with strong ashes, wetted, —
then protected from washing rains un
til they have dissolved. The process
may require months, but such straw
berries and such grapes as their com
post will produce !
There is no doubt in the world that
there are people who throwaway more
substance than they have to live upon.
Unbelieving as to the power of econo
u>3 r , all odds and ends are wasted, and
they impoverish and break down eves
rything they go at. In truth, there
can be no worthier study for the mind
of man or woman than that of econo
my in its various branches. It is a
marked feature throughout the works
of God—in His plannings not one sin
gle atom being able to go astray, and
if we refuse its teachings we are like
the mathematician, who, in simple ad
dition would throw awajjjr the left hand
figure.
Misguided people there are who
sometimes call economy “stinginess."
Economy is the best application of
whatever may be at hand. Stinginess
is hiding and hoarding like the one
talent. An economical man would fill
himself with good dinner, and be de
lighted with such disposition of his
means ;but a stingy man would let his
poor stomach cry out in agony and
carry the half dollars on in his pocket.
In the article of cooking, wanders
might be achieved, both in improve
ment and saving by a little study.—
Dishes need not always be expensive
to be appetizing, and she who aims at
economy will consider her resources,
and by varying and combining offer the
best inducements to the appetite.
In this country, where wheat flour
is all to buy, whatever saves flour may
be considered economy. Thence the
women should learn to make good com
position bread—that is, flour mixed
with meal and potatoes. We all know
that mush and flour make delightful
rolls. Hominy with flour makes the
best of waffles, batter-cakes and muf
fins. Puddings require but a few spoon
ful of flour ; custards sometimesjnone
at ail, while if cooked fruit accompany
them, nothing nicer need tie wished
tor. Again, we do not give sufficient
attention to sweet herbs and salads.
They add greatly in the way of varie
ty, and also give a relish to the coarsest
fare. Femina.

A Clow to the Origin of tlie Yel
low Fever at New Orleans,'
It comes to our knowledge, on au
thority fully reliable, that four thous
and loads of kitchen garbage which
had been hauled to the dumping place
by the city carts have been brought,
back by the contractors and used to fill
up streets in the front part of the city.
This is said to have happened within
the present year, arid was in progress
at the time of the fever. No doubt it
would have continued indefinitely, bes
ing a cheap and artless means of ful
filling the letter of the contract, but
for the awakened vigilance of the au
thorities and the unpleasant attention
was then rivited upon the street con
tractors. As we have already stated,
this knowledge comes to us on the
very best authority, and merits the
most rigorous investigation. The bare
suspicion that a deed so wicked, so
brutal and atrocious has been commit
ted is enough to curdle one's blood.—
We can conceive of no grosser or infa
mous wrong ; there is no blacker inju
ry possible to be inflicted upoa a com
munity than this. It amounts, prac
tically, to the deliberate importation of
disease, and this through a motive so
mean and sordid as to elude any ade
quate condemnation in mere words.—

A Monster Snake.
•We are informed, says the Florida
Crescent, by Mr. Long, of Brevard
county, that while driving his ox team
near Fort Drum, in that county, his
oxen shied and ran out of the road,
and seeing something r.iise its hea l
and a movement in the grass, he after
stopping his team, went back to see
what it was.
Upon approaching the object, he
heard a great rustling and rattling that
convinced him that it was a rattle
snake, but he could not see for the pal
metto and high grass until it threw
itself into a coil and stood nearly as
high us bimsell.
He was almost dumb-founded at the
sight, and retreated rapidly, but soon
summoning his courage he advanced
near enough to be within reach of him
with his long cow whip,which he knew
how to handle. With this weapon he
opened the conflict, which lasted near
fifteen minutes, Mr. Long keeping out
of reach of the snake, but still near
enough to strike him withhis cow whip
which was about eighteen feet long.—
Finally Mr. Long began to feel sick
and weak from tne excitement as well
as from the musk emitted from the
snake, and putting in two or three
rapid strokes with his whip, retreated
towards his cart, but fainted before he
reached it.
Upon coming to he found that he
had killed the snake. Mr. Long had
no way to measure its length but by
his whip, which was eighteen feet long
and the snake lacked about two and a
half feet of being as long as the whip.
It had thirty-.eight rattles and a 1 nt*
ton.
He says it “was as large round as a
blue water bucket/'
Mr. “Long is one of the mort reliable
men of his section.
