' The Washington Chronicle is res ponsible for the statement that at Sparta, Tcnr-essee, graves of pigmies have been - . ; with headstones and pottery. The !-';e";c-vn of one pigmy was twenty-six in-.-" long, the thigh bones being little thiv.ii.cr than a man's finger. 1 1t is sup posed that a race of these little beings existed long before the birth of William Allen. ' The Indianopolis Journal gives the following incident : A. terrible sequel to an hour's sunmusement telling ghost stories occurred at the surgical institute not long since. A room -full of young ladies, patients of the-institute, amused and excited each other by stories of ter rific apparitions, hobgoblins, ghosts, etc The gas had been turned ont, either in tentionally , or l y accident.

'The New York Herald relates some of the capers "of a most persistent Eng. lisb criminal: In 1865 a man named Richard Hampton broke the sbopwin dow of a harmless watcbmaker.in Wool--wicb, England. wss sent to prison for nine months; and on the very day of his discharge returned to Woolwich ; and sin ashed the same window;. This time tha Court gave him eighteen months; and once more, icn the day -his sentence expired, he returned ane again broke in ' tjie same window. His third sentence was for ten years; but the other day, be was for good conduct discharged on ' a . ticket of -leave, having served nearly eight year?. - Promptly, for the fourth time, he went straight to Woolwich, and once more smashed the same win dow, and being thereupon brought into Court for a fourth sentence, he remark ed that he would break the window aa often as he got the opportunity for the rest ot his lite.

They have a decided majority in both houses, and elect four congress men and possibly the entire delegation. Wisconsin Taylor, the Democratic reform candidate for Governor, is prob ably elected by a small -majority. -The vote shows a Republican gain of over 10,000. ' Virginia Returns on the 2d shows large gains tor both the ( onservatives aud Republicans the former having the largest. It was thought the gener al result would not alter the character of the Legislature greatly. New York The Times estimates the Legislature as follows : Senate 22 Republicans, 10 Democrats : Assemb ly 80 Republicans, 48 Democrat, and claims the election of the entire Repub lican ticket by 5,000 to 8,000. Massachusetts Vote light in some parts of the State. Rice beats Gaston about 5,000 ; Crapo, Republican, is elected from the first district by 4,600 majority. The Republican party erect all the Counsellors and 31 Senators. The Democrats elect 8 Senators, one district doubtful. Pennsylvania A heavy vote was polled. Ilartranft is claimed by the Republicans to have 50,000 majority for Governor, which isn't so slow, as majorities go. M artland Carroll is elected Gov ernor by a fair majority, and the rest o the State ticket by about the same vote. 'Tennessee Returns indicate an overwhelming Conservative victory. They carried every doubtful county, and have a decided majority in both branches of the Legislature. Lamar, Singleton, Hooker and Money are elect ed to Congress. A majority of the Democratic nominees are elected. Minnesota -Scattering returns in dicate tbe election ot the entire Repub lican ticket, with the possible exception of State treasurer, by from 5,000 8,000 majority.

The Tndianian speaks right oat in meetin in regard to the ap pointment of Zaciiariah Chandler to the Secretaryship made vacant by the "withdrawal" of ' Delano. It savs We are asking as a member of the Re publican party, that the utmost good faith be practiced by the President, and it is not doing it to appoint to high pla ces such men as Chandler. It is an in sult to the country. Be has . had the verdict of the people of Michigan, con- signing him to - private life, .' and that 1 vowiu. verdict should not be disturbed by the President, It teems to be tbe gene eral, if not the unanimous, opinion of the. Republican press that Grant has made a great mistak in Chandler's appoint ment. ' f Two thousand majority for the Re- I . ' choice and all tbe elections in October are favorable to the same party. . Thu is a kind of reaction that don't set well on democratic stomachs. : Free Trade is one of the demands .of the Democratic party. Workingmen of America, look well into the merits and disadvantages of. free-trade, and ponder ere yon cast your suffrages in fa vor of the party that is its chief-sustaiu-er. Remember that your will be bitter ly depriving yourself of the necessities and comforts ot existence.it you advo cate a reduction or nullification of the tariff, for you will place an incubus up on native labor that cannot be shaken off. 1 : ' The Washington Territory Legislat ure now in session has. divided Walla Walla county, and the Walla "Wallians are now seriously talking ot asking that their part of the old county be annexed to Oregon, the objections to such an annexation, by this division, being en tirely removed. We shouldn't wonder if Orgon was enlarged by this much of Washington Territory in the near future. A telegram from Atchison, Kansas, dated November 3d, says : The elec tion in this county yesterday resulted in a complete Republican victory. ETery candidate on the Republican county ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 135 to 600. The Republicans elect two and probably three members of the county board. This is the first time in many years that the Republicans of this county have elected their whole county ticket. The terrible disaster in Virginia has caused a tempo ray, at last, hardening of the money market. Bankers seeing that the stopping ot the flow of two or three millions of bullion monthly for several months would operate to tighten the money market, have advanced their rates, and banks have became more care ful and less accommodating than ever. Whether this will operate to keep down the price of wheat, remains to be seen, but we are rather inclined to thiok that the advance in cereals that might have oeen expected under an easy money market, will not now be reached until January or February, if then. At the annual meeting of the Bank of California it was 6hown that the as sets of the bank were $14,000,000, and the liabilities $10,000,000. This does ont include capital stock, which -is estimated at $5,000,000 more. With a good year, it is claimed that most of these assets will be realized. In any event depositors and other creditors will all be paid off, and there will be at least $1,000,000 to divide among stock holders, and this may ptssibly be in creased to $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. Since the opening the volume of bnsi- ness at the bank has been nearly as be fore the temporary suspension. In Europe the workingman is the mere slave ot the plutocracy, not the sovereign ruler, as he is, and should continue to be, here. He has none of the comforts, and very few of the liber ties, which his co temporaries are allow ed in this land of freedom ; he is kept in social subjection, and can . never rise. This will be the condition of the work- ingman in America if he allows himself to be led astray by the specious argu. ments ot the Democratic party, the lea ders of which have only self-aggrandize ment at heart.

There is earnest work yet to be done; every citizen who values good govern ment should gird on his armor for- the conflicts yet before him. The enemy is vigilant, desperate, determined if possi ble to break through the lines of public virtne.and carry the fortress by storm. Our whole line should be strengthened! every point should be guarded : clear beads and brave hearts should be active everywhere. To fail in our defence of the grand old party of progress, would be to betray civil and religious liberty into tbe hands of our enemies.

The Idaho World makes mention of a quartz ledge over in lu the basin, which they call tbe "Keep Cool Ledge." We read of a benedict who says his wife is immense on "draw poker." She's drawn the poker on him a time or two when he staid but late o'cights. So far the returns received show that McDowell recived one vote in the en tire State and that was polled in his own precinct.

The Kecly "motor" is about to pres ent itself at the door of the Patent Office, and the prospect is a fair one that the public will at last be informed as to the nature of the "power" which Mr. Keely claims to have discovered.

Saturday they sent a letter to their father, at 49 Ludlow street, to the effect that detective Kealey knew where Dick Reak and Louis were, and . could arrest them if the father would go to 300 Mulberry street. The letter pur ported to be 6frgned by detective Kealy. Mr. Reak obeyed and as soon as he left tbe house his sons forced open tbe back door, pulled pistols and dirk-knives and drove their brothers into arother room, where they locked them in. They then seized their r mother, .and while Louis held her and pointed a pistol at her head, William, robbed her of a gold watch, locket and chaiu and pocket-book. 1 hey then threatened to kill their brothers if they attempted to prevent them from escaping.

It is announced "that the Frank J fort committee forthe protection of - the bondholders have declared a dividend of 7-lOths per cent, on account of the coupon due 1st October. Oregon & California The committee appointed at the meeting on 15th Sep tember have issued a circular to the bondholders, from which the following is extracted : . " 1 According to a recent statement of the president of the railway, its liabili ties were $7,808,026 ; and he also stat ed that in 1873 the gross receipts were $809,198, aud the net revenue $277r 214 ; while in 1874 the gross receipts were $884,920, the net revenue amount ing to $187,813. This "apperas not to include any receipts from sale ot lands, which the committee believe to be val uable. The amount required to pay the interest on the first mortgage land grant bonds is $267,085. Up to . last January the company met its engage ments on its bonded debt with regulari ty, but default was then made on the farst mortgage bonds. The President in March, asked the bondholders to fund the coupons for four years and a half, to. enable bim to pay off tbe float ing debt. The committee think some modification of this may prove advisable but that -it would be imwise for the bondholders at present to agree to it. LTnder the terms of the mortgage it would be ecessary lor very nearly all the bondholders to concur before such a scheme could ; be carried into effect. They propose to. receive the bonds ot such holders. as well as co-operate with them, and to issue in exchange negotia ble receipts. As holders of the bonds they will be able to act in the U. S. on behalf of the bondholders. It will be necessary to raise a fund for this purpose and tbey ask tor a subscription ot one half per cent, on the nominal amount of the sums deposited tnat is, &l tor each 200 or $1,000 bond and an engage ment to make f urther contributions, not exceeding an additional, 1 yer cent., as may be necessary. Here is an incident : - At a place bear ing the remarkable name ot Souse Creek, Moore County, Tennessee, a religious meeting" was seriously disturbed a few days ago. The preacher was holding forth to the congregation upon the ne cessity of liv ing good lives, as a preacher sir. uld, when up to the door of the build ing rode a man named Wagner, whose melon patch had been invaded by some unknown person a few days previously. Wagner, as be rode up, called ont to a young man named Casey, saying "You are the man I have been looking for," and then added, "I understand you deny being iu my water-melon patch." Casey prointly replied, 1 es, 1 do donyMt ; 1 was not there." The result of this an swer was that Waguer denounced Casey a liar, and, as the later was rising from his seat, ei.ot him dead. . 1 he meeting was so interrupted by tins interesting episode that preaching closed, and sever al men started out in pursuit ot W agner. At last accounts he had not been caught and may not be captured at all, though it should be stated tliat even at couse Creek it is considered quite reprehensi ble to disturb a religious meeting in such a manner, t; A deadly , personal feud iu Texas has just been abated by the death ot one oi the parties There were two doctors, Mallettc and Mannmg; practicing in the neighborhood of feerbin. 1 here were professional jealousies between them: and they hated each other as only pro fessional rivals can. some months ago they met, and, agreeing to have it out, went to a shop, sleeted each a butcner- knife and seeking an open place began a deadly duel. 1 hey wero S2paiated be fore either was mortally wounded, each vowing future vengeance.. 1 hey recov ered slowly trom their wounds.
