The Mayoralty Vote in New York.

The voting in the New York mayoralty contest resulted approximately as follows : Hewits (Demoocrat)..........2..05.... 90,300 Roosevelt (Republican).............. 60,300 TREND nse Gin kehdvcreuwces 61,700

{t is interesting now to review the fore- casts made by the different parties the day before the elections. The Republicans figured out the result as follows:

The Democrats calculated as follows ;— Pewee... 45 Ct ii ds Ged 110,000 UUNG 5 oc. cuts teks oe Perse eels 60,000 ANI is hs Kile ad cash CaN ale Ree bd ieee 50,000

And Mr. George's managers, making the total vote less, thought it would be thus distributed :—

SO ncninedeas ne sry sinemrascnuiees 76,000 IOI, 5 sk << cnityecus as + i eiwinie iitah 72,000 WU, oOo s xb ae hho oe wee edie > whe 69,000

In the Presidential campaign of 1884 the Republicans polled about 90,000 votes and the Democrats about 133,000, so that, making allowance for the ditference in the total vote cast, it would seem thet Mr. George’s vote was about equally drawn from the two parties.

Evil of Indorsing.

I affirm, says Judge Waldo Brown, in the Boston 7'raveler, that the system of indorsing is al! wrong, and should be utterly abolished. I believe that it has been the financial ruin of more men than, perhaps, all other causes. 1 think that our young men especially should study the matter carefully in all its bearings, and adopt some settled policy to govern their conduct, so as to be ready to answer the man who asks them to sign his note. What responsibility does one assume when he in- dorses a note? Simply this: He is held for the payment of the amount in full, principal and interest, if the maker of the note, through misfortune, mismanagement, or rascality, fails to pay it. Notice, the indorser assumes all this responsibility, with no voice in the man- agement of the business and no share in the profits of the transaction, if it prove profitable; but with a certainty of loss if, for any of the reasons stated, the principal fails to pay the note.

The Brooklyn Magazine.

Full of those bright and readable articles that make up a popular magaziue, the Novem- ber Brooklyn Magazine is eminently interest- ing and entertaining. Mr. Wm. H. Rideing’s second gossipy paper on ‘* The Royal Navy of Great Britain,” serves as the opening atirac- tion, and gives us a clear idea of what it costs to maintain England’s navy. Hon. Seth Low’s name appears,for the first time in a magazine, to a well-written article, giving some very bright and pungent observations on ‘““The Irish Home Rule Controversy,” describing Mr. Gladstone as he appeaied on the floor of the House of Com- mons, and analyzing the general ques- tion in a pighly intelligent manner. Anna Katharine Green, author of ‘*The Leaven- worth Case,” shows that she has striking * | poetical talents, inalengthy poem, ‘‘In_ the ‘King’s Cabinet.” Mrs. Flora Adams_Darl- ing adds three chapters to her novel of Wash- ington life, ‘‘A Social Diplomat,” in which a glimpse of Washington society is given in a dexterous manner. ‘‘Ranch Life in Califor nia” is described by Mrs. M. J. Gorton in a graphic style, and a pretty, short story of the war, entitled *‘Edith Warner,” is cleverly told by George E. Walsh. The poetry of the number is especially good, Mrs. Beecher’s last letter from England takes us with her famous husband on his lecturing tour throngh England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Other articles deal with ** Marriage Customs in Turkey,” ‘‘ Heroines of Theatrical Scandal,” ‘‘ Modern Shams in Society,” “‘In a Dutch Prison,” ‘* What Girls should Read,” in addition to which are given the farewell sermons of Henry Ward Beecher in England, and four sermous by T. DeWitt Talmage, all authorized and revised by the preachers themselves. , This Magazine

bride is taken to the bridegroom’s house in a sedan chair, with a retinue of slaves car- rying her wedding presents un trays on their heads, covered with colored tar- latan. The _procession is sometimes quite imposing. The bride’s female relatives ATC

also there in the new harem until night- fall, and they retire to their homes, leaving the bride sitting on a sort of throne, veiled. The bridegroom is then admitted,

and he is to throw himself at the bride's feet and offer her his wedding present of some handsome jewelry, and beg her to raise her veil and strike him blind by her beauty. Sometimes he is struck dumb hy her ugliness, for he never looks on her face until after the wedc ing.

When a babe is born in any house there is great rejoicing if it be a boy less ifa girl. The wife is proud for awhile; but Turkish women are not good mothers. They are too chiid-like themselves. When a girl is born to a Sultan, they fire seven guns ; when a boy, twenty-one. The boys die early; the girls are more apt to live. This is supposed to be a divine interposition of Providence to prevent too many claim- ants to the throne. Babies are dressed like mummies in swaddling clothes for six months ; then the boys are put in trousers, sometimes in generals’ or colonels’ uniforms, regularly made.

When the Sultan takes a wife no cere- mony is considered necessary more than to present his bride. The new Sultan inherits all the widows and slaves of his predecessor, and every year of his reign, at the feast of the Ramazan, he receives anew one from his mother, and takes any other girl or woman to his harem who happens to strike his fancy. Slaves who become mothers are instantly promo- ted to the rank of Sultana. Six months before the feast of Ramazan, the Valide Sultana orders that all the young candidates be brought to her, and she chooses fifteen and sometimes more of the lot. These are immediately put under dict and training, and at the beginning of the great feast she again chooses, and this time the choice is

final. At the evening of the appoiated {day the Sultan, upo® retiring, finds his new bride standing nude, with folded

hands and lowered eyes, at ‘the foot of his bei. After he has retired she must lift the bed-clothes at the foot and crawl into bed in that way as a sign of subjection.

Girls arrive at legal majority at nine years of aye, and are frequently married 2% ten. Children of tweive and thirteen are ofter seen with babies of their own. They are old at twenty-five. The old Turkish women have a jiard lotof it. Beyond a respect for age, which they contrive to in- spize by tooth and nail among other wives younger than they, their lives are not happy. Still, they are provided for, and as long as a man lives he feeds his family, one and all alke.—Brovklyn Magazine,

Frec Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Propiietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefitted the consumers, as well as xv the burden of home manufac turers. Especially is tiis the case with Green's aud “ower and Boschee’s German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent size.

The August flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have jperhaps the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The ad. vantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun- tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents remain the same size.

—_— rr ee The Social Problem of Engiand.

In a speech which he delivered at Liver- pool on October 10, Lord Derby said the agricultural interest in England, through bad seasons and falling prices, has within ten years lost £200,000,000. Then other nations were copying and gvalling manu- factures in which for a helt period Eng- land stood alone, and, of course, there was loss in that. And, finally, the people of

the British islands increase in number, after deducting emigration, by 400,000 a year—that is, they have to provide for, feed, clothe, educate and maimitein an ad- ditional 4,000,000 in every decade. A whole nation is added to the population every ten years, bringing no land, no

mines, no accumulations with it, nothing but its labor, which may not be wanted. That is a side of the social problem which

Lord Derby says disquiets him.
