The galid South business is over.
Goversob Hott has is.-ued a thanks
giving proclamation, appointing No
vember 25th as the cLiy for thanks
giving. The railroad time for passenger
trains Las been changed. The new
time-table was put into use on Monday
morning. See corrected table.
The Toto is so close in California
that the majority for the Hancock elec
tors is believed to be less than one hun
dred. The Pennsylvania railroad company
Lave in operation 18 express trains
from Philadelphia to Mew York, and 20
express trains from New York to Phil
adelphia. "The Presidcnti:d Electors will
meet at their several State capitals
and cast their votes for President and
Vice President on the first Wednes
day in December. Congress is di
rected by law to open and count these
votes cn the second Wednesday in
February, and to declare the result"
' So near and yet so far," said a
Democrat, when the truth broke in on
bis mind that New York bad indeed
been carried for Garfield. Oh," said
be, " thick of it, we have California,
New Jersey and Nevada, in the North,
and if we could have New York that
would give us just one of a majority in
the electoral vote."
What a pity that California, Neva
da and New Jersey did not vote with
the solid North. If the election bad
been postponed, or could have been
postponed for a period of ten days, the
three States mentioned would have
also cast their electoral and popular
votes for Garfield, for the truth of the
forgery of the Chinee letter would have
been made clear in tLe remotest district.
Hancock's majority in the three
Northern States that he carried will
not reach two thousand, whereas the
majority for Garfield and Arthur in
the Northern States is over half a
million. If the South had not been
bull-dozed, a number of the South
era States would have cast large ma
jorities for the Kepubulican electors.
The great North has won the victory,
and its duty will be to see to it that
the rights of freemen are not abridged
in any State within the limits of the
Kepublic
When the Democracy are beaten
they shoot fraud. The fact that they
were beaten iu New York was the cause
of the shout of fraud that they sent
up last Thursday and Friday, but it has
passed away, for an enlightened people
Ehut their ears to it, for they know that
it would be impossible for the Republi
cans to perpetrate a fraud in New York
city, and Brooklyn, where all the elec
tion machinery is in the hands of the
Democracy. The men who shout fraud
are ignorant of the facts involved in
the electious that were held in New
York and Brooklyn, or they shout
fraud because of pure deviltry.
Job years it was the practice of
the Democratic party to shout Sec
tionalism" against everybody who
dared to act in opposition to the
ways of the Democracy. It was a
sort of thunderbolt that quieted peo
ple who did not understand that the
people who shouted sectionalism the
loudest were the very people who
were practising it, and were so sec
tional that they would drive out and
strike down all opposition. It was
the sectional men who proposed and
made a solid South, and then charged
eectionalLsni on other peopla It is
the same crowd who shout fraud in
New York, when all of the election
machinery there is in their own hands,
and the only people able to perpe
trate fraud there are themselves.
The Spragues in Kbode Island are
s shooting set. Not many months ago
ex Governor Sprague wanted to shoot
Mr. Conkling, of New York, just what
for is not known to a certainty, for both
tar ties have been quiet about it, but it
is believed that it was about Mrs.
Sprague, or about her estate Last
Saturday the Governor's son, a lad
about 15 yoars of age, attempted to
boot Robert Thompson, the trustee of
bis mother's estate. The ball whined
close by Thompson's bead. The boy is
a promising lad for some penitentiary.
i
Republicans of Perry county held
a grand jollification over the election
on Saturday evening, at Duncannon.
Iit Oswego, New York, the Demo
crats have thrown out about 100 Re
publican votes, because t bey "allege
that the head of the Republican tickets
were not printed in acoordance with the
letter of the law of New York State.
If it would come to a close observance
of the letter of the law, in this Ju
niata county, it would be found that
there are at least four boxes that would
be cast out, for there are four return
papers that have not boen filled up in
accordance with the letter of the law.
It is not necessary for a Democrat to
go off to New York to find some infor
mality in the conduct of voters, and
informality in tbe making np of return
papers of election boards. The Dem
ocracy are looking about everywhere to
find something wrong, and tbey find that
there is something wrong with their
party everywhere, for it is everywhere
that tbey have lost everywhere but in
the solid South, and in California, Ne
vada and New Jersey. Tis a pity for
New Jersey, Nevada and California.

The M. . Conference News sayi :
Any man, of any party, who cannot en
dorse these seccible words of General
Grant, spoken at the re-union of bis
old regiment a short time ago, is more
of a partisan than a patriot : "We
want this whole nation to be a harmon
izing people, all striving to rival each
other in prosperity, in developing their
relative sections and upholding one
oommon flag, one common institution,
that of freedom to all without regard
to raee, color, section, religion or na
tionality ; and I believe that result is
to be worked out. How, I don't ex
actly see, but that it will be worked
out in some way I am perfectly confi
dent The day will come when we will
bear nothing about sections, but we will
strive to rival each other as good citi
zens in upholding our common flag of
al! sections."
The North American says; To hear
some people talk, one would think that
for New York to support a Republican
President was a most surprising and
unaocountable circumstance, for which
there was no precedent. But there is
nothing extraordinary about it, seeing
that the State has only voted twice for
a Democratic Presidential candidate
since the formation of the Republican
party. It went for Seymour in 18GS,
and for Tilden in 187G, but in 1860,
18G4 and 1872 it gave Republican ma
jorities. There is nothing so strange
in the fact that it did toe same last
Tuesday.
The Democracy must needs have a
scape goat to carry off their scold,
after the defeat When Indiana
voted Republican in Octocer, they
came down on English ; he became
the scape goat to carry the blame of
defeat For the defeat in November
they load it on John Kelly, of New
York. It is their fight and as be
tween them we have nothing to say ;
but the truth of the case needs no
scape goat The whole trouble with
them is that the people did not cast
a majority for their candidate.
United States bonds went np on
the reports of Garfield's election, for
the reason that their pay meet is .as
sured. If the Democracy bad been
successful at the polls, they would have
depreciated, for tbe reason of a belief
that exists in tbe public mind that if
tbe Democracy get control of tbe na
tional government they will so legislate
in regard to tbe finance of tbe eountry
that repudiation, in some form or other,
will follow their work.

bpleniud.
The country can indulge in a hearty
thanksgiving, that the great political
questions that threatened the finance
and prosperity of tbe nation were so
disposed of by the people at the late
election that no disturbance can come
to the business of the country, except
ing what may here and there arise by
individuals recklessly indulging in the
credit system.
It is amusing to bear tbe erring
brethren acoount for tbe defeat of Han
cock. They attribute it to everything
but the right cause, namely, that the
people did not want to elect him Presi
dent.
The North took tbe South at its own
game, and voted solid, excepting the
States of California, Nevada and New
Jersey. California, Nevada and New
Jersey are to be pitied. ,

Affairs in the Indian Country.
Washincton, Nov. 3. Gen Miles
has forwarded a dispatch from kverett
the government scoot, dated at the
tbe camp on Poplar creek, October 11
in which he says: "Have only partly
succeeded. Sitting Bull will not give
a decided answer until be bears from
Major Walsh. The Indians were san
cy and independent. 1 was- kept a
prisoner tro days in their camp. A
division exist in tbe camp. A part
wanted to co back with me. Tbe
greater portion, under Sitting Bull
are hostile. Sitting Bull prays that
you make no move until be hears from
Major Walsh's camp on Milk river, at
tbe mouth of Rock creek. Both my
self and borse are thoroughly played
out. Have been in tbe saddle twenty
one days and two nights."
To the above General Miles adds
"For several months it has been stated
that Major Walsb was to return No
vember 10 and lead them to some fav
orable country. All tbe Indians beie
corroborate tbe story. As he was tbe
representative of the Canadian Govern
ment, I request that tbeir be no delay
beyond tbat date, if be is not to re
turn, and cannot fulfill the promises
they should be so informed at once by
tbe tame authority; and I request tbat
ample arrangements may be made to
arrest any tbat may cross the line be
fore our troops. As the camp is now
reduced, this ean be done- Captain
Higgins arrived to day with the camps
of Spotted Eagle and Rain in tbe Face

Joanquin Miller, writing of bis ex

I tell you that there are more than
5,000 of these "tickers" or indicators
you ean form some idea of the tnsgni
tude of tbe business. If we give ten
men to each "ticker" you bave the
spectacle of 50,000 stalwart men stand
ing there holding np a little dotted
string, waiting, hollow eyed and anxious
on the smiles of fickle Fortune. To this
50.000 you may add 2,000 brokers.
i ou must give each broker at least five
clerks, office boys and messengers,
which swell the list 10,000. To this
62,000 you can safely add 200,000
speculators on the outside.

Do We Eat Too Much ?
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TUB QUES
TION OP NOURISHMENT.
The amount of nourishment wbicb a
person needs, greatly depends on bis
constitution, state of health, habits and
work. A sedentary win requires less
than one whose duties demand the exer
cise of his musoles, and a brain worker
needs more than an idler. But unques
tionably the majority of us take more
than we need. Indeed, food and work
are distributed asost unequally. The
man of leisure is the man of means, and
accordingly, fares sumptuously every
day, while the laborer toils for eight
hours and finds it difficult to get enough
to repair the waste of bis tissue. Yet
a Cbitaman or a Benalse will toil un
der a tropica! sun and find a pieoe of
rice or jowrab sufficient to sustain
bis strength. A Frenchman will not
eat halt what an Englishman engaged
in tbe same work will demand, and a
Spanish laborer, content in ordinary
times with a watermelon and a bit of
block bread, will toil in tbe vineyards
aud grow fat on a dietary of onion por
ridge and grapes. It is true tbat Mr.
Braesy, when building bis continental
railways, found that one English navy
was worth a couple of spare-fed for
eigners. Rut, on the other band the
lintifh Columbia and California gold-
diggers, than whom a more magnificent
set of athletes does not exist, live in
tbe remote mountains of tbe far west
mainly on beans flavored with a few
cubes of pork. But they also obtain
tbe best of water and tbe purest of air,
and tbeir out-door life and active exer
cise enable eoable tbem to digest every
ounce of their fragile fare. Tbe Eog
lish soldiers are better fed than those of
any oth'er army, except tbe amount of
solid nutriment which the idlest of tbe
club-loungers considers indi&pensible
for bis sustenance. An athletic in
training is allowed even less food, yet
be prospers on the limited fare aod pro
longs bis life by the regimen to which be
has been subjected. King Victor
Emmanuel was a monarch of tbe most
robust physique ; yet bo only ate one
meal a day, and it is manifestly absurd
for any man to require three, more or
less, weighty meals and an afternoon
eup of tea to support tbe exertion of
walking to tbe club, riding an hour in
the park, writing a note or two, and
dancing a couple of miles around a ball
room. Tbe ancients bad their " ama
thustoi," or "sober stones," by which
tbey regulated their indulgence at table.
The moderns bave not even this. But
tbey bave their gout and their livers to
warn tbem, when it is too late, tbat na
ture has bees over-tasked. London

A western paper publishes tbe follow
ing : A Chinese woman named Wong
ah ciog testified recently in a ban
Francisco police court tbat she bad
been sold five times. Her parents sold
her in China, when she was eleven
years old, for $20 to a gray-haired lady
who brought ber to San Francisco and
sold ber for about $25 to a Chinese
doctor. She displeased one of the doe
tor's wives, and be sold ber to another
Chinaman for about $40, and tbe latter
gave ber to a woman in payment of a
debt. After a while the woman sold
ber to a man for $120. She was this
man's wife for three years; then at the
s?e of fifteen, she was acid to the man
against whom she tben complained for
$160. She lived with him five years,
and then be got tired of ber, and want
ed to sell ber to somebody in the ooun
try. She wouldn't go, and be began to
beat ber, wban she raited an alarm.
Other Chinamen eame in, sided with
tbe defendant, and told blm if she would
not do what he wanted for him to pre
tend to take ber back to China, and
when half way across to give ber a pusb
or throw her overboard, and make be
lieve tbat she had fallen over accident
ally. She said that wherever the de
fendant kept ber sbe was held in restraint
by bis friends, who prevented ber from
going out of tbe premises.
Wild Sport In the West.
From the Homer (A. T.) Index.
Tbe tomfoolery often indulged in by
vaqueros on horseback came near caus
ing a tragedy at tbe Mormon Ranch
last week. A party of vaqueros were
lassoing eaoh other, sticking brush un
der tbeir horses' tail? and otherwise
amusing themselves when one of their
number named Hawkins, himself on
horseback, threw a brush under a horse
ridden by a Mexican. As soon as be
did it be put bis horse to a run to get
out of the way, but the Mexican's laxiat
was too quick for him, and be was
snatched out of bis saddle senseless.
Restoratives were applied, but it was
three hours before he regained con
sciousness. He carries yet a big red
stripe around bis neck where the rope
marked him. Tbat kind of sport will
bave no ebarma for him in the future.

From the Saa Francisco Bulletin.
Mrs. B. B. Reading bas presented
to tbe Academy of Sciences, on behalf
of J. H. Sisson, of Siskiyou county a
metade of basalt rock, found nine feet
below the surface of the earth near the
Oregon boundary line. The metade
was used by tbe ancient native races
for tbe purpose of grinding grain, and
this specimen bas a flat top, slightly
raised about tbe edge of the two sides
and at tbe upper end, and is about
twenty-two inches long and fifteen inch
es in breadth. It is supported by three
legs, tbe upper one being an inch or so
longer than the two lower, thus giving
it the requisite inoline so that the grain,
crushed to flour by means of a heavy
roller, can slide off into a vessel placed
at the open end for tbat purpose.

Truckee (Cal.) Republican, Oct. 23.
Tbe party of Indian hunters tbat left
Truckee last week, to be gone a fort
night, to engage in the deer drive in
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the
vioinity of the Middle Fork of the
American River, were very particular
as to what tbey should carry. Besides
their gun, no man was allowed to join
tbe party who wanted more cooking
utensils tbau a frying pan and a tin ket
tle. They say that a man who cannot
fry meat and do all kinds of cooking on
a frying pan has no business in tbe
woods, as tbe best bread ever eaten
can be made by winding dough about a

in one of bis fields, and trespassing hunter?,
after exhausting their ammunition on tbe
dummy, got so mad, and felt so badly sold,
after discovering the fraud and their own
folly, tbat the farmer was troubled no more
by them.
Deer hunters in California do all their
cooking on their long excursions in a frying
pan and a tin kettle. Tbey make their
bread by wiuding dongh abont a stick and
holding it over a fire, and those who have
tasted it say it is the best bread ever eaten.
It is estimated that 8,000 wild ducks
were taken on the Susquehanna flats in
the vicinity of Havre de Grace the first
day of the ducking season. A number
of prominent gentlemen from New York
inoluding Judge Gildersleeve, partici
pated in tbe slaughter. The greatest
number of ducks by any one. box was
that of Messrs. Maban and Dobsoo, who
secured 540; the highest number of any
was tbat of captain Todd, who got 110.
Tbe flats still abound with ducks, and
it is said that there is no perceptible
decrease sinoe tbe day before tbe gun
ning season opened. Baltimort Sun.
