BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS.
The results of the general election
held on Tuesday, November 4, were
generally favorable to the republicans,
although the democrats made sub
stantial gains in the congressional
election. The republican majority in
congress has been materially reduced.
According to the best estimates the
republicans will have 208 members and
the democrats and populists 178. In
the twenty-one states holding guber
natorial elections the republicans win
sixteen. The vote on governor in New
York was remarkable for Its closeness.
Odell, republican, has about 10,000 ma
jority on the face of the returns, but
a contest on the part of Coler Is prob
able. The Chicago Record-Herald prints
the following table showing the prob
able complexion of the next house

It Passed, Anyway.
The gaunt, sad-looking man ate two
bountiful portions of "beef and" in
the Park Row beanery, and with
check calling for 20 cents ventured to
ward tho cashior'g desk and banged
down a battered silver quarter, says
the New York Tribune.
xx.0 proprietor picked up the snspfo
Jous looking quarter and examined it
critically. Thore was a deep dent near
a place In tho rim and another near
tho circumference directly opposite,
and this looked as if it might have
been plugged.
"It grieves me to part with that
quarter," said tho aged, gaunt man,
"It saved my life once. At tho siege o
Vicksburg I carried it in my veft
pocket The dent you see there wa
mado by a bullet which otherwise
woul 1 Tiavo gone through me. It savel
my lire then as it does now, but it i
hard to part with tho old friend."
The proprietor was evidently inter
ested. "In what year was the siege of
Vicksburg?" ho asked., -
"Sixty-three," was the prompt an-
8wer.
"This quarter Is dated 1877 and It 1
a counterfeit"
The sad-looking man looked dis
pleased. 'Of course it is. How else Ao
you suppose I'd havo an 1877 quarter
In '63 If it wasn't a counterfeit?" he
explained.
And the proprietor was so surprised
that ho handed out 5 cents in change
while the sad man made his escape.
