The California election which took
place on Tuesday last, has resulted favor
ably to the Republicans, who eleot 'the
Governor, and three of the membere of
Congress, and perhaps the fourth. The
Legislature is in doubt, but the Demo
crats elect the Supreme Judge and two
associates. The tickets were so numer
ous, and the cutting so great that the
returns come in Blowly. Iiev. I. -6.
Kalloch, who was shot by De Young,
is probably electetMayor of San Fran
cisco, on the Workingmen'a ticket.
.A Southern Squall.
XEw.Oni.EAN8, Sept. 2. Forty-five
coal boats moored above the city sunk
during the storm yesterday. The lose
is estimated at $300,000; no insurance.
This will probably involve a corneHn
coal. Many trees, fences and chimneys
were blown down and several houses un
roofed. The only loss of life reported 4s
that of George S. Kunt'z, a pumper os
the coal fleet, who is believed to have
been drowned.
Morgan 'City, Sept. 2. The storm
abated about Ave o'clock last night. In
addition'to the damage reported yester
day, the Morgan Line round-house at
Berwickdty, a new building just com
pleted to accommodate engines on the
next extension, and many dwellings had
their joofs blown off and chimneys
blown .down. The negroes' cabins at
Freetown were nearly all demolished.
The gale was so furious that it carried
plates from the iron warehouse at Mor
gan whairf.olear across the bay into Ber
wick. Perquisites of Washington Pages.
One of the .pages of the United States
senate, in a letter to the St. Paul Pioneer
Tree, says: "We imed to get $90 a
month, but now it is only $75. The
boy that gets ttie president's room is
rewarded with $1,400 a year. The per
quisites for the pages are considerable.
A good one has no trouble in making
$100 a month. A -complete book of the
autographs of congressmen and the
heads of departments brings $50. A page
made three hundred dollars out of what
was known as the 'dead lock picture'
a humorous sketch. While the elec
toral commission was in session the boys
had a good opportunity to make some
thing. They speculated on the extra
tickets the congressmen shelled out. I
sold one to Lizzie Snow for $30 ; Wash
inton people know who she is. I know
a boy who made $80 off the bier of
Charles Sumner. He sold the flowers
for $20 ; Wormley paid him $10 for one
bouquet. When the casket was remov
ed he watched his opportunity and cut
the fringe from the bier.. He sold it to
the colored people for $00, dealing it out
in pieces."
Arrested on Spirit Evidence.
A lady Hying in Chicago, 111.,
had a email amount of money stolen
from her recently, and went to a
fortune-teller to ascertain whither it
had gone. The accommodating fortune
teller, after going through the usual
ceremonies of her kind, discovered the
culprit and exhibited his picture to the
owner of the stolen money. The lady
recognized the picture as that of ayoung
man ot her acquaintance, and forthwith
had him arrested and arrainged before
Justice Peters. There was nothing but
the very intangible evidence furnished
by the spirit land, and the case was
dismissed at the request of the lady,
who half repented that she had under
taken a prosecution on such grounds.
A Female Fiend.
Portsmouth, O., August 30. A ter
rible story of cruelty to an orphan girl
has been given to the publio here. For
no cause whatever, Miss Hattie Parker,
aged about 10 years, has, it appears,
been frequently beaten by her inistress
until her body was a mass of bleeding
flesh, red pepper pods have been inserted
in the wounds and salt and water
sprinkled over them. Added to all this,
the child' feet have been bent forward
before her on the floor and her toe-nails
pounded out by a hammer or hatchet.
The Inhuman woman's name is given
as Mrs. Silas B. Graham, and her in
genuity in preparing tortures is described
as almost beyond belief.
Bold Robbery and Murder.
San Francisco, Sept. 2. TheEureka
stage conch was stopped above Nevada
City yesterday by two masked men, the
express bog taken, and the passengers
made to stand up in the road, and deliv
er their personal property. William F.

ed to take a gold bar belonging to him,
and was shot through the head and in
stantly killed. A llarge force are now
searching the country for the highway,

rosy checks and sparkling eyes with all
