• dispatch from New York to the Evening
Star says: It Is a source ol mnch satisfac
tion to all concerned that the electoral
count wUl certainly be completed by Mon
day and probably by to-night. Although
no'formal announcement nas been made
to thsi effect, it is understood that the
purpose to a Ivaoce charges of frand has
been abandoned by Bliss and hls associate
counsel. This fa coupled, however,
with the qualification that contingen
cies may yet come In which
it will be daemed expedient to report evi
dence of fraud. The Democratic commit-
fee, this morning, after once more golog
over their figures, say that the final result
will not vary 50 from their standing esti
mate, and the absolute alienee of the
Republican committee when applied to is
accepted as proof that they at least admit
the correctness of the Democratic figures.

Bostoh, November 15.—A special to the
Herald from Augusta says: Mr. Blaine
regards tho official count in New York as
practically settling the Presidential ques
tion. Mr. Biatne, it is stated on the best
authority, received this afternoon a tele
gram from New York announcing the com
pletion of the final canvass in
that city, and Informing him that the plu
rality for Cleveland in the State would be
1.137. The same authority states that
Blaine accepted the result very cheerfully,
and has no regrets growing out
of hie connection with me campaign,
lie feels tbet he made a good fight,
and he gracefully bears the verdict of the
American people. He believes the Re-
publ icau party will prove true to its grand
past and will increase in strength with
coming years. He expects in 1889 It
will again be called back Into
power. Blaine leaves for Washington
about the middle of next week, where hia
family wfU spend the winter. He has
leased Sargent s house In Farragut Square,
and will shortly resume bis work on the

* [special telegram.!
Augusta, November 15.—About 50 spinners
and weavers in the August factory struck for
a resumption of the old schedule of wages
this morning. The demand was not acceded
to and the entire mill will shutdown. It Is not
thought to be any disadvantage to the com
pany, as the present manufacturing situation
la not considered profitable. The management
claim that the mill has been run* M
some months through consideration for the
operatives, and do not object at all to its
standing idle until business proves mo to re
munerative. The committee appointed to mo-
licit subscription to the preferred stock of the
Enterprise Factory atarted on their labors to
day abd s enred $75,000. This la considered
first-rate, considering the tightness of the
money market, and no fears are entertained of
their not succeeding lu raising the $25",000

Atlanta, November 15.—The Legists
taro has already begun to trench on some
important matters of legislation. Promi
nently may be mentioned the bill directed
against the capltol commissioners, the bill
to create a board of registration in each
county, a bill to extend tho term of the
common schools to ten months In the year,
a bill to abolish the office of inspector of
fertilisers, and a bill to change tho manner
or electing judges and solicitors, taking it
away from the Legislature and requiring
their appointment by the Governor,
It is difficult now to say vrlmt will be the
fate ot these bills. They will bo earnestly

more ‘mpor.ancc already in shape which
will likely be introduced next week.

duty. He will havo them ready for

however, that there wifi be a session oithe

adjourned over to Monday at 2 o'clock t>.

week the House fixed its hours of session
from 10 a. m. to lp.m.

Another paper will make its bow to the
public here next Monday. It is to be an
illustrated eve.dug journal, purely local in
its character, and is of course designed to
fill a long felt want. It Is understood that
one of its political features will be a vlgor-
oious advocacy of Col. Reuben Arnold for
mayor, against tho citizens’ ticket. It is
given out that the proprietor and manager
of the new paper will bo Mr. Ildo Rsms-
dell, tho inatantaneous artist, with a fine
editorial and rerortorial staff. ....
It remains to be seen whether this infant
will be vigorous and strong enough to sur
vive the ills that abound here or whether
it will foiiow that sad array of others that

closed on the 20th. It is quite certain that
the registration offices will bo kept busy
during the remaining five days, for the
reason thattho approaching city election
ftr municipal offices will bo one of the
most exciting ever known in the history of
Atlanta.
1 notice that one of the most popular
candidates for alderman is the genial and
cJever James A. AnBerson, who has a host
ot friends in Macon. Ho was pulled into

mined to i»akc on alderman out of him.
He has all the qualifications and propor

Atlanta is beginning to develop quite a
number of able b died citizens who are
willing and anxious to hold office under
Cleveland’s adniinirtration. It is doubted
f there will be enough offices hero and
hereabouts to go around. An enthusiastic
Democrat here announced the other day
that if there were uot enough offices to go
around Cleveland would make more.
There is considerable rejoicing among
Democrats here that Cleveland’s inaugura
tion will make it possible to oust the celeb
rities who arc now holding the fat offices
in the Atlanta custom house.
Very few of the members of the Legisla
ture are in the city to-day.

A bill was introduced iu tho house yes

of the proposed new court. There will

by the time the court is established.

The thirst for office is a ruling passion
with our people, and many are not happy
unless they are candidates for something.
In addition to other notes already written
on tho subject it is further illustrated by
the fact that there were four or five ardent
candidates for the office of State librarian,
on the idea that tho present incumbent
would bo elected solicitor-gencrul of this

Party Spirit.
Journal ol Commerce.
Is this a free country, and havo its citi
zens any personal rights? Or is it a polit
ical despo'ism where free thought, and
free speech, and free action, are prohib
ited by the spirit of party which rules
the hour? Are those who rebel against
this slavery to bo placed iu the pillory and
pelted with offensive missiles, and marked
out for public censure and disgrace?
During tho Jate political campaign each
half of the people, actuated bv this fell
spirit, accused the other half of the most
nefarious designs, amounting to nothing
Jess than a purpose to subvert all Jawful
authority, and to undermine the very
foundation of the country’s welfare.
And now that tho elcotion is over this
spirit on either side is, if possible, stilJ
more bitter and intolerant, and the party
leaders sit over against each other with
compressed lips and clonched hands, on
the pretense that the common safety re-
a uires every true man to bo on guard as in
in presence ot an enemy. Wo admit that
a few disappointed polbicians on one side
and some who arc grown arrogant with
success on the other, have done their best
to arouse and intensify the passions of
their followers; but the people at large of
all parties are neither fools nor knaves,
and it is time that wo had a rest from the
assumption that prosperity or ruin hang
in the bnlance to be decided by the count
ing of the ballots.
It is a matter of still greater regret that
in tho associations and clubs, and general
party organizations formed for political
purposes, tho madness which antedated
the election has not given place to more
moderate counsels now that the election ia
over. Both sides Jiave been guilty of this
insolent, domineering spirit.
Wc have before us in a party organ a
port of a public meeting in which tho pres
ident, a gentleman of intelligence and cul
ture, and a prominent member of a Christ
ian church, declared that “it did
not seem to him that any certain number
of Republicans bad aoy more right to
rebel against this national party than a
State had a right to rebel against the na
tion.” This is a plain declaration that a
man who has hitherto acted with a party
ia to be denounced as a traitor, to hia coun
try if for anv reason, satisfactory to him
self ho casts his vote at any time against
it. There is no despotism in all tho world
that cannot overtop such a manifestation
of intolerance.
There is the most glaring evidence of tho
hypocrisy of such a claim to individual
allegiance. Not only is party intolerance
in general universally denouucod, but in
every political appeal ah men of both par
ties >tre evermor . urging upon each one op-
poiod to them lhe solemn duly of leaving

We do not overrate the importance of
this subject, nor the necessity of stirring
the popular head: to resist these encroach
ments upon the liberty of the people to
think and act for themselves free from
such party trammels. The despotism sits
enthroned everywhere and demands uni
versal subjection. It aims to be supreme,
not alone in the primary assembly, and in
the political conventions, but in the coun
cils at our State capitals, and the sett of
government at Washington.

If there is any despotism more Railing

worse by far than themost odious tyranny

There are many varieties of the genus
smiles. There’s the smile that’s childlike
and bland, the cultivated smile, and the
plebeian smile that ripples forth like the
first joyous laugh of the boiler factory, and
that spreads out with a gurgle that closes
the eye, trots cut the wisdom teeth, and
then shows a roguish dimple. in the ton-
There might be enumerated, also, the
classical smile, tho subdued smite, the par
lor smile, the sacred smile, the before
election smile, and the after-election
smile.
Then we have the stage smile and the
portrait smile. Do you call to mind the
genial smirk which is, in fact, the thin
silk overskirt of joy covering the silesia
shamof a nameless woe? Do you happen
to have about your house the photograph
of a friend whose petrified gayety fills
your eyes with briny weep.
Joy is something that we cannot seizo
ruthlessly and lead it into the photograph
ers laboratory by the ear. I’ve tried that.
I always leave my umbrella and my hope
behind when I go iu to the photographer’s
gilded hell. 1 can laugh while the dentist
pulls out my sound teeth and plugs the
pcor ones, and I can even be gay while
nature and the cucumber of commerce are
engaged in mortal combat, but I cannot
affect a joy that I do not feel while the
cast-iron hat-rack of the artist leans
against my love at home, and the artist
bids me look at a place on the wall that is
freckled with iodine.
1 am positive that the act of photo
graphing ia ui on the eve of a grand stride

seen anything in the eve of a grand stride

The New Tenor.

A tenor for the ladies. A tenor hand
some as Apollo. A tenor tall and straight,
with coal black hair and steel blue eyes
A tenor in the prime of youth, full of
warmth and emotion. A tenor who will
catch the town. His name, Cardinall; his
birthplace Sicily.
He appeared as Manrico in the “Trova-
tore.” There have been Manricos of
many kinds. There have been fat Man
ricos and slim Manricos. There have been
tall Manricos and short Manricos. Their
traditions are invariable. In one act they
wear a coat of mail, a glancing helm and
a waving plume. In another act they
wear sky blue satin. They sing at a given
moment, In the air known as “DI quella
pira,” they come down to the footlights,
brace themselves for a supreme effort and
emit a piercing note. By that note they

N, Y, Star.
The folks living near a certain fa-hionu-
bie boarding bouse on a slope ot Brooklyn
Heights have bad lately their curiosity
3idernbly exotted by sight! and Beenes
not often wltne.ted In that rather atlito-
cratfo locality. Tbe cun*] observers In the
vicinity of the boarding Uoum In question
might not at fir.t havo been aurprised at
aeelng three strange women Irene from
there now end then to take a walk In the
pleaiant neighborhood, or, perhepi, go to
ehurob. It wee tbe order of procession, to
to speak, that after aw|.ii i drew attention
to tbe myiterions trio and made them sub*
jeeti of gossip.
lb wa« noticed that a young lady about
23 walked arm In arm with one of middle
age, that tbe junior was eomberly though
richly dressed; that tbe senior, who waa
also well dressed, portly and dignified,
treated har companion with what seemed
harshness and great deference alternately,
and reinonatrated with her very often
Indeed. The third person, who walked
invariably In tbe rear, and seemed to
occupy a menial positi on, never increased
or lessened the distance betwen herself
and her superior!, When they stopped
she (topped; when they resumed their
promouado she did the same.
Once when the young lady threw her arms
wildly and suddenly m the air. and the
servant advanced ai if to touch her, the
middle-aged one turned round and frore
her to the ground with a haughty (tare
.which teem-dto say, “What! yontonch
the sacred person of a titled lady!" And
such, in fact, f! Lady Hesther—a British
peeress In her own right and hav
ing a vote by proxy in the House of
Lords. The ladles in the victaity were not
long in discovering this and several other
matters connected with the English Coun
tess, her companion or keeper, and her
servant; but they could never lift the veil
of the sanctuary, though dying for Infor
mation. A Star reporter, wishing to do
hia best to allay their cariosity, went to
No. 7 Willow street and asked directly for
information of the lady of the mansion.
“What ooncems me," she said about
the boarders, "Is that they are respecta
ble, comfortable, and that they pay me.
Beyond this I seek not to invade their pri
vacy. Thero Is here at present an Eng
lish lady with a small -retinue, but I posi
tively decline to furnish you any Informa
tion about them."
Thus defeated, the reporter did not con
sider himself subdued. There were those
in the locality more communicative than

I was ' at Beecher’s church last

The sermon was very beautiful, all about

told that tbe most an
noying of Lady Heather’s eccen
tricities is a habit she has of flinging her
arms wildly above her head. Of course
poor Mrs. Hope wants to go to church and
even to the theatre now and then for in

must say a member of Mr. Beecher's
church need not go far afield frr amuse
ment But that's neither here nor there.

“So I was. Well, in order to prevent
mischief when outside ihe house, one of
her hands is tied, and Mrs. Hope keeps
the other firmly c'ssped in her own. Last
Sunday night Mr. Beecher was in his
richest vein. His eloquence was terrible
as he pictured a President who—but my
husband here is a Republican and I shall
spare his feelings. At all events, aoex-
clleddid Mrs. Hope become that she
let go -her charge’s hand. The re
sult Is half painful and half ridicu
lous. She raised her released member as
if shewere an automaton, and still like an
automaton let it fall prone on the nose of
tbe duenna. Mr. Beecher stopped and a
big buza ran through the congregation.
Poor Mrs. Crawford rose in her scat to
offer assistance, bnt was frozen, as usual,
by the frigid etiquette of Mrs. fiopo, from
whose nose tho blood oozed In nnmerons
drops. As for Lidy Hesther sie stared

me of nothing so mnch as a balky
horse. I am told the lady has semi-lucid
intervals which are dreaded by her small
suite, for then she plays the queerest
pranks Imaginable. Perhaps it is when
Mrs. Hope is reading she feels something
cold running swiftly along the spine of
her back. It may be milk, It may be water;
in fact, anything handy, for tbe Countess
is not particular when in her frolics.”

“The first time I ever saw a fishing cor-
raOrAi.i ai yrork, under the direction oi it#
Chinese msiler, i ii. ou 8M it was one ot
(he most amusing and at tn e ® ame f im _ e
Interesting sights Imaginable," said Pn-‘
near Geo. Dean, who has spent a number
of years In China, "I was walking along
the Min river, one day, soon after arriving
in China, and came to a bamboo float or
raft moored to the pier of a bridge. I no
ticed a native squatting on the raft, and
wbat at first thought were a number
of dneke grouped at one end of It. They
were all faoed toward the Cblnamsn, and
he was gaslng steadily at them with
Ms hands os Me kn ee. "I stooped to see
what was going on. Suddenly the man
extended bis right had, palm upward, to
ward one of the birds, which I then saw
were not ducks, for the one tbe Chinaman
reached his hand to waddled as briskly as
it could- toward htm and hopped on the
open palm. Theman stroked Itifeathers
fondly, rubbed bis cheek along its neck,
which lie kissed now and then, and talked
to it In Chinese, evidently In endearing
terms. Tho bird seemed delighted, it
laid its head on tbe Chinaman’s arm,
rubbed its peculiar bill against bit face, and
returned all hia caresses. This lasted at
least a minute, and then the man moved
with tbe bird to the further side of the
float and placed It on the edge. Then for
the' first time It came to me that this was
a Chinese fisherman, working with cormo-
rants.
•• When the cormorant Was placed on the
edge of the raft it dipped its bill in the
water, snapped it together loudly, looked
np and down the side of the float, tnrned
its head and fixed its glittering black eves
an instant on its master, and then slid be
neath the nrface without a sound,
scarcely leaving a ripple behind it. The
Chinaman seated himself again and
awaited tbe reappearance of bis bird with
out any apparent concern or anxiety. The
other birds remained standing at the end
of the raft, almost motionless, and without
removing their eyes from tbeJr master.
Tbe bird that baa dived into the water re
mained beneath the surface for
probably a quarter. of a minute, and then
eared, popping almost out ot the
asitcamenp. The lower half ot a
fish protruded from its month, Tbe bird
swam straight to the raft, climbed upon it
and, jumping on its master’s knee, bold its
head np for him to remove the fish. Tbe
Cninaman pulled the fish from the bird’s
mouth with one hand while he stroked its
neck and plumage with the other, and whis
pered words of approval. The cormorant
shook out its feathers and showed its de
light in variotft ways. Again its master
placed it on the edge of the raft, and again
it glided noiselessly in the water. The
other birds maintained their stolidity, ap
parently unmindful of what was going on
around them. The cormorant that was
fishing appeared in a short time, and
SRain naia made a successful dive. The
same caressing was gone through with, aud
the bird was started in the water, a third
time. It now seemed to be thoroughly
warmed up to Abe work, and went at it
with an avidity that showed plainly the
pleasure it took in it. The third time it
was gone longer than uaa&l, and when it
finally came up it had no fish. It swam
frantically about in the water, twisting
and turning and evincing the 'greatest
distress, but, turn which way it might, it
kept its sharp eyes fixed on* its master,
with an appealing expression. It made no
move to approach the raft, and when the
Chinaman raised his band and Dointed
downward with the forefinger the bird
dived again, and so quickly that it was
gone like a flash. In a few seconds up it
came, bearing in its mouth a large f sb.
This time it swam boldly for the raft, de
posited its prey at its master’s feet, and
showed plainly the joyfulneess of its ac
tions as he stroked iu arched neck that it
bud rc deemed itfelf. : „
• Win n the Ciu'iiaman pface«riBe »hfrd
fish in hls bat-kt t he took the cormorant
end placed it in the cen're ot iLe r*f«. It
seemed to understand that it bad done its
work satisfactorily and was entitled to
rest, for it tt.utted proudly away and took
up its position at tbe o.her er.d of tbe raft.
When this waa done a great change came
over the other birds. Each one straight
ened itself up to its full height, arched its
neck, shook out its feathers and seemed
quivering with expectancy. The China
man squatted before them as he had done
before, eyed them curiously fora moment,
and then held out bis hand to the larg
est of the group. It hopped upon the
hand, and instantly its companions resum
ed their listless and indifferent attitudes,
'i he Chinaman caressed this bird as he had
done tbe first, but it did not reciprocate
his attentions. It seemed sullen and
showed no heart for its work. Its master
placed i< on the edge of the raft and it
clumped into the water at once, splashing
it about, and disappeared. It was gone
not more than five second?, and came up
without a fish. It swam about
as the other bird had done, bnt
did not exhibit distress or disappointment
It keeps its eyes on its muter, (or no other
purpose, apparently, than to receive his
signal to dive again. When this was given
the bird tank below the surface again. It
remained below about as long as before,
and came up again without a fish. The
Chinaman now arose to his feet. He
shouted something to ihe bird and made
an emphatic signal. His anger did not
disturb the cormorant in the least. It was
apparently an iricorrigible servant. It
dived deliberately the third time, and once
more appeared without adding anything
to its master’s catch. Then the Chinaman
uttered several gutter al exclamations,
and made a signal by jerking
bis thumb back over bis shoulder. The
cormorant swam tantalisingly slow into
the raft. Its master caughtU by the neck
and dragged it oat of the water. He
cuffed it several times ou the head, and
threw it violently down on tbe bamboos.
I thought tbe poor bird must certainly
have the life crushed out of it, but it arose
coolly to its feet and limped sullenly off to
where the firat cormorant alood, atrong In
its master’s affection and approval. This
bird manifested unmistakable delight at
the discomfitureof its companion, but the
others seemed to notice nothing but the
movements of their master.
Tbe Chinaman next held out both
hands and took two of the remaining birds
at once. These seemed to appreciate his
csreues. They evidently felt that they
were (o be worked together, and that the
competition would result in a greater or
less reward. When they were placed on
the top of the raft they eyed each other
jealously, and when the signatwaa given
both cut the water and disappeared to
gether. In ten seconds on* came up. It
bad a tiah. It looked hurriedly around oa
all sides, doubtless to see if
its rival had appeared yet, and has
tened for the raft. It was within two feet
of it before the other bird appeared, and
then that came to the surface immediately
in front of the first, and also with a fish in
its mouth. Before it scored any advantage
its rival wss even with it in the race.
They both reached the raft together, and
were treated alike by their master. Ou
tbe second trial they both came to the
surface together, but one bird bad no fish.
When it saw that its rival had been sue
cessful it becam® wild. It threshed about
in the water and seized the fish iu the
other bird’s mouth and endeavored to
take it away, but a riiout and a signal
from its master caused it to relinquish its
bold. Its rival swam proudly to the raft
with its prey, deposited it at its master’s
feet and received his caresses, while .the
other bint swam frantically about, waiting
to get a signal from the Chinaman to try
again. This he did not give until the suc
cessful bird was ready to try again. This
time tbo unsuccessful bird was successful,
and tho other was under the ban.
“Iuth’s way the Chinaman continued
fishing with his birds for hours, and when
he ceaied for the day he had a half-bushel
basket heaped With fishes from eight inches
to a foot in length. *Thev were a species of
