WASHINGTON LETTER.

Eds. Tel. - The inhabitants of the Capital were wild with excitement over the news from Ohio and Indiana, and crowds surged around the Congressional headquarters of both parties. Great preparations have been made by the Democrats to have a grand blow out, supposing Indiana at least was to follow Maine in her recreancy and folly. Brass bands, magic lanterns to transmit to canvass returns that would gladden the hearts of hungry Democrats, a corps of Confederate orators, with an ample stock of tangle-leg, had been provided by the management. Indeed nothing was lacking, and in the early evening, all went merry as a marriage bell. At the first the cheering was vociferous, as if the devil had broke loose. As the hours wore on the crowd was treated to large expectations and few encouraging returns. Music grew plaintive, the orators, failing to get interested from the dead spirits from Indiana, tried the spirits from the black bottle in the saloon; the managers disappeared from the back do r, the lights went out and the surging crowd rushed over to join the thousands of Republicans who filled Pennsylvania avenue in front of the office of the National Republican, where returns were thrown upon an immense canvas. Long past midnight the crowd swayed to and fro, speeches were made, songs sang - till at last "Gloria in excelsis - Good morning" was the signal for going home. It was a night long to be remembered.

The day dawn after the battle was ushered in with all the enthusiasm of the previous night. What's the latest? was the common inquiry. Many seemed loth to believe the full extent of the Republican victory. Bulletin boards and all other sources of news were well patronized. Extras went on the street like wild fire, and everybody was transformed into an interrogation or exclamation point. There was a very interesting contrast between the announcements bulletined. The Post, finding its ruling passion strong in death, persisted in claiming the Democrats had carried Indiana, insuring the election of Hancock in November. The colored people were intensely interested, declaring the second emancipation of their race to be near and that the year of Jubilee would be ushered in by the inauguration of Gen. Garfield on the fourth of March. One says "Lightning done gone and struck dem mules in Injiana." "Massa Hancock tell us now which way your gun is pinting." "Colored folks dont go on scrusions no how in Injiana when Uncle Sam has votin for em to do," "Republican pole knocks the persimmons shoo dis time." All classes from grave to gay have mingled in the rejoicing. The ladies, God bless them, how they longed by their votes to have a hand in the contest, which they have so mightily helped by their influence. Be patient, fair daughters of this dear land. The morning is dawning. Your influence, your voices and your votes will yet aid in wiping out the oppressors, wrongs, the curse of the age and the damning influence of intemperance.

The rapid advance in all classes of securities, as the result of the October elections will have a toxic effect on all kinds of business. It is the opening of the grandest era of prosperity that has ever dawned upon any people. Its influence upon real estate at the Capital will be most marked. Thousands of women of wealth and fashion will be drawn here to secure homes in this city which is fast becoming the chief centre of literature, science and art, as it is now the centre of politics and Governmental affairs. By the next census Washington will have a population of 250,000. Its 100th anniversary will occur in 1890, and it will be celebrated in such a way as to honor the day and the grand event.

No city in the world is so well arranged for grand parades and fetes by the width and beauty of its streets, and no one will have such attractions ten years hence as Washington. By that time the state Department will be finished, a grand Library building will have been erected in Judiciary Square; a new Presidents Mansion will crown Meridian hill, north of the city; a Zoological Garden will have been established; other public edifices will be built; our noble streets and avenues will be beautified, and thousands of palatial residences, stores and hotels, will be added to those now in existence. The presence of the Government, the Capital, National Library, which already surpasses any in America, the Smithsonian Institution, the Washington Monument, the National Museum, the Corcoran Art Gallery and the new Observatory - all conspire to make Washington the most attractive place in the world.

The October work has been well done despite the prophesies of Truman, who said Ohio would go Democratic by a large majority, and Hendricks' declaration that Indiana was sure for Landers by 15,000 and Forney's that Hancock would have just a walk over, and Barnum's that no power could reduce Landers' majority below 8,000, and McDonald's that he did not know a Democrat who would vote for Garfield. These prophets will all have to go into other business.

There must be no truce with the enemy. Successful in Indiana and Ohio we must now make a general assault on the enemies lines determined to carry, as we shall, every Northern State. Let us meet the Solid South with a Solid North - 45,000,000 of people [?] to [?] and worship at the beck of 15.000,000 conquerers of 15 years ago.

Already the National Congressional Committee are hearing the Macedonia cry for help from Florida, North and South Carolina and Virginia. The results of the election are dissolving the bonds that have held the bourbons in a solid party phalanx. With speakers promptly sent into these states one and all may be wrested from the hands of the bourbons, making it impossible for Wade Hampton to fulfil his contract and deliver the property as he proposed when he offered at Cincinnatti to cast 138 votes for Hancock from the Solid South.

One name woven in life great contest has won a new lustre, that commands the admiration of the world. The most marvelous man of this age is Ulysses S.Grant.

Once he threw himself into the deadly breach and saved his country amid the rattle of musketry and the booming of cannon. The nation has honored him as its Savior. Fifteen years later his keen judgment saw that nation's peril, and right manfully he stepped again nobleally to the front, and

HORSE-MEAT AS FOOD.

From the Parisian

Some very interesting statistics have been published by the society for promoting the use of horse flesh and the flesh of asses and mules as food, showing how steadily the consumption of these articles of diet have been increasing in Paris and the Pro- vinces since the foundation of the society in 1866. The weight has increased from 171,300 pounds in 1866, to 3,982,620 pounds in 1879. In the principal cities of the Provinces the consumption of horse-flesh may be considered to have fairly taken root. At Marseilles in 1860 there were 399 horses eaten; 1,031 in 1875, and 1,533 in 1878. At Nancy, 165 in 1876, over 350 in 1873, and 705 in 1878; at [?], 291 in 1874, 339 in 1876,[?] 281 in 1878; at Lyons 1,839 in 1873, and 1,313 in 1875. In both the latter cases some difficulties had been thrown in the way by the town authorities, as was the case recently at Chalons-sur- Marne, where the Mayor fixed the price of the horse-flesh at a higher rate than that of beef. The average price of horse-meat is from 35 to 30 cents per pound. Each horse furnishes about 300 kilogrammes (660 weight) of meat, which is capable of being prepared in many by no means unappetiz- ing ways, such [?], boiled, roast, hashed, hasieot, jugged, filet, &c.

HINTS TO STAMMERERS. - I commenced operations by writing out a very large num- ber of ordinary sentences, as they present- ed themselves. Having examined those sentences one by one, and knowing well where I should fail in uttering them as they stood, I sought to devise some meth- od by which these consonant initials might be got rid of, or, at all events, diminished. It struck me that if I could contrive, by any artificial division of the words com- posing each sentence, to bring the conso- nants at the end of a division, instead of at the commencement, a great object would be thus achieved; for consonants at the end of the word present no special dif- ficulty, the glottis having been already opened by the preceding vowel sound, the terminating consonant flows out almost as a matter of course. It is here where liquid from a full bottle. At first it runs intermittently, with a "glub-glub," but when once enough of the liquid is out to admit the air freely the obstruction ceases. In a similar way the object of the stam- merer is to prevent the glottis from closing when once it is opened. To ascertain whether or not my idea was practicable I wrote out in the ordinary way one sentence at a time. I then rewrote this sentence, not divided into simple words, but making every initial consonant the final letter of the preceding word. Having so divided the words composing the sentence, I then read them over aloud many times, accord- ing to this artificial division, to try if they were pronounceable without any gross pecu- liarity. I practised this method incessant- ly, both in colloquial speaking; and to my astonishment, I discovered within a few weeks that I was writing an instrument which was almost invariably successful; and with this consciousness of increased power my confidence daily increased, so that I could frequently speak on without regard to any method. All who had known me up to this time were perfectly astounded, and anxiously inquired by what means so remarkable a change had been effected; for mine, be it observed, was no slight whether he had ever observed any peculiarity in my speaking. His reply was: "No; only that you speak very distinctly." Chambers's Journal.

The printing and kindred trades in this city are in excellent condition. Nearly every office is full of work, and is running more hands than usual. Reports from our correspondents in various localities set forth the same state of things as being universal. The Presidential campaign is unusually warm just at present, and mill- ions of posters, in different forms have been scattered broadcast throughout the land; thus giving the printing fraternity all that they can do. This increase of work and general activity among the craft calls forth the labor of the manufacturer of printers' material and machinery, and an example of the condition of things gener- ally is set forth in the following communi- cation from one of our Iowa correspond- ents. He states: - "Dealers and manufac- turers say printers are buying more machinery this year than usual. In fact, orders for new power presses are far in advance of the supply, and first-class press- es are snapped up like hot cakes. A great many presses are coming into Iowa this year, and this fact is taken as an indica- tion of the increasing activity and prog- perity in the business, notwithstanding the fact that there are two hundred newspa- pers already in the State." The facts are set forth in the above are only from one point, but are a fair average of the many we are in receipt of.

An exchange says newspapers are the merchant's best salesmen. They enter at every dwelling, and while imparting their instant intelligence, foreign, domestic and local, they silently, yet forcibly, solicit patronage for each advertiser.

Advertising is all humbug, unless to call the attention of the public to some- thing indispensable to their welfare, such for instance as Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil which for its wonderful healing powers, has become a household word in most American homes.

America is becoming the teacher of the Old World, if accurate statistics go for anything. The 500 tons of our newspapers which are sent to Europe annually, would furnish a week's reading for every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom, to which half of them go.

FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND

quare feet of Salesrooms, or more than any other THREE RET ry Goods Stores in the State outside of Cincinnati. Two large E n carry passengers to each floor. The building and arrangment erfect and well worthy of a visit. It is divided into the follo epartments:

- DRESS GOODS. - SILKS, SATINS AND VELVETS. - HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR. - NOTIONS. - LACES AND TRIMMINGS. - GLOVES AND MITTS. - LINENS AND WHITE GOODS. - FLANNELS AND BLANKETS. I - PRINTS AND DOMESTICS. K - HOUSEKEEPING HARDWARE. L - MILLINERY. M - SHAWLS AND SUITS. N - BOYS' CLOTHING AND CASSIMERES. O - BOOTS AND SHOES. P - CARPETS AND CURTAINS. Q - MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT. S - MOURNING GOODS.

At the HEAD of each of these Departments we have pl OUNG MEN of NOTED ABILITY, men who have grown up leveland and learned by years of EXPERIENCE what the tra s section wants, and while learning this valuable experience, ined the CONFIDENCE of the very best people.
