Neither party has a satisfactory poll of the State, but the Republicans profess to be greatly encouraged by their returns. They claim that they will getont their full reserve vote. The Democrats expect, tbrongh Carl Schnrz and n large number of other German speakers, to get the Germans in line before election and by renewed promises to enlist the llqnor dealers, who have so far been indif ferent. The strike in the Hocking Valley will not affect the result materially, although there is a strong move ment among the miners to sup port Butler and West in the November election. The indications at present arc that Robinson will hare a majority of 8.000 to 10,000 over Newman, but there is no great boom either way. That the contest will be close is indicated by the fact that bets are freely taken both ways and odds are not yet proposed. There is also a disposition to bet on ma jorities. Up to the Pistol Racket.

The manufactures of New York city amount to $200,000,000 capital, equal to the cost ofsfour hundred of tho greatest iron ships in the world half a million dol lars apiece, far greater than the foreign shipping of New York. There are not one hundred ships of this quality running on the North Atlantic. If we had the abipe, which barely pay 3 per cent, a year, their crewa would be absentees, but by the man ufactures we have these crews with us, and they numbered in 1880 227,3*2 work ingmen, and in Brooklyn 47,587. Add 30,- 000 for the adjacent cities like Newark and Paterson, which are more strictly manu facturing places than New York or Brook lyn, and the aggregate is not less than i,000 operatives. Now, in the entire pping of England, according to a late Macmillan's Year Book, there are not 200.000 men. The manufactures of the metropolitan district here dwarf all the commerce of England. Mr. Dana's Fancy for Chickens. Pittsburg Dispatch. Charles A. Dana ia quite fond of writing people down as fools who are only wbimisral. If all reports are true, be is a most decided crank. His weakness is for chickens and pine shrubbery. In the grounds surrounding his country residence are specimena of all Kinds of pine and firs known in the world. He loves his pines and will pay almost any price for a new one, but it is on chickens that he dotes. His collection of game fowls is said to be the finest in the country. Like Bonner, he does not keep his pets for their ability to make money, bat simply because he dotes on them. The only benefit he gets from them is what ia derived from the fresh eggs they yield and the satisfact on he has in knowing the age of the spring chicken that is set before him on toast for breakfast. He has ransacked the world for specimens of the various species, and when once in his possession they are treated as well as white elephants are in Siam. An Interesting Novelty.

Yesterday a young married couple whose union bad been blessed with three hand some children—ail boys—and who are re cently from the East, were In search of a house for rent. They had carefully pre pared a list of those advertised, and start ed systematically to bunt them up. These houses were variously described per ad vertisements, and comprised all sorts and siaes, and were of various prices. Leav ing the little ones at the hotel where th« y were stopping, the tour of inspection was commenced. Tbe first place visited was a comfortable fiat, ready furnished, and consisting of six rooms, with gas, bath and all alleged modern improvements, The elegant landlady greeted th”m with a smile, and assumed a pleasant, deferential attitude, while the young husbaud, speak ing np, said: “I see you advertise a fiat to let, mad- “Yes, air; walk In. Will you see it?" The fiat was all that could he desired, and suited In every particular. It was taken. And just ss the two were retiring tbe landlady gave a little start, and ex claimed : “Oh. I forgot to ask yout Have yon any ch idreo?” “Yes,, three,” responded the twain, in unison. “Then I most beg leeve to withdraw from the bargain. I cannot take children under any consideration.” “All fight, madam,” said the good-na tured husband. “Suit yourself. We'll look further." The next place was a cottage, with a neat little flower garden in from. It wa3 tbe property of a thrifty Irishman. “Yis, I'll rint it to ye for ftO a month, providin' ye have no children." The young husband looked languidly at his pretty spouse, and observed: A We must continue our search.” The next place visited was a large lodg ing house. Here the landlord showed them apartments suitable for housekeep ing. “Well, Mary, dear, I suppose we’ll have to take these?’ “Toe apartments are sunny, nlently located, and, I think, all that can be wished for?' interjected the business like landlord. “Of coorae, you have no children." “Alas!” ivplied the husband, "unfortu nately, it appears we have three.” “Ah! that’s a great difference; we couldn’t think of taking children.*' Nine other places were called at with the same result No children were wanted. The last was a very gem of a cottage. This aurely must be taken. “We’ll take C onr bouse," remarked the husbaud to )• lady who showed them the domicile. “Here’s a month’s rent in sdvance," and they were retiring in triumph, when the woman call out: “Bv tbe way, sir, I sup pose you ha76 no children ?” “Great Jehosephatl” yelled the despair ing husband; “yes, we have three boys; but we'r*» going to kill 'em to-night" ’On, John!” cried his wife, in evident alarm, “kill our boys?" •'Certain!v.

Two weeks later a mar generally resembling George \V.

Tbe little girl was exhibiied yester day before a number of aciantific gentlemen at Central Park. She was dressed In a pretty terra cotta dress, very abort in tho skirts so as to reveal tbe perfect symmetry of her limbs. A gold rope girdled tbe ilre«s. The girl is called Krao, and speaks both German and English. Her fare Is round and full and covered with thick hair. The similarity to a monkey is seen in the cheek poaches, in which she stores her food, and in the absence of b me in her very flat nose, in ber ears and in her pro jecting law. Over her forehead her hair ia very thick and lungs downhar hack in jet black ringlets. The hair on her arms grows upward, and on her back starts from her aides and grosra towards her spinal column. The moat striking coincidences are In her vertebra, in which there aro thirteen ribs, and in ber fingers, which twist and tarn in any direction. Her feet are as ser viceable as ber bands. Mr. -Shelby went two years ago to tbe oountre of Laos, in northern Slam, where be bad beard there was a strange race of men. With the assistance of the King ho and bia men aurronnded a village pit cited in the trees, and with the help of soldiery captured the child Krao and its father anti mother. The father died of cholera on the voyage to England, end the mother was kept by the King. When Mr. Shelby took Krao she bad the instincts of an animal and a man. Mr. Shelbv began tosdneat* her. For a long time Krao manifested a disposition to throw cups at her governess in fleu of cocoanuts and to coil her bands TIIZF3S3 Si PEVEY "QTT9NCARD. her age.
