Ou this day of the election the great Whig lead- -r iudulg"l in n confident prophecy. The wliolo number tf elec toral votes was 281, of which Jackson revived 178 nnd Adams 8U. For vice president Calhoun received 171, all others 90. Iu the house of representatives tlien elected Andrew Stenhetimin was chosen ijieaker by 1)3 votes to ii'i tor all others. And yet issues were so little defined that there was a majority in congress fomhe United States bank. The election of 1832 could not be called a revolution, yet it was even more surprising. It was oxultingly proclaimed. and not denied by Jackson's friends, that s nearly all tho wvalth an-of the professional men were against him. The manlier of electoral votes was 2St), of which Jackson received 219 and (lay 49! Vermont voted for Wirt. anti- Mason, and South Carolina for John Floyd, whom the historians hare char itably allowed to be forgotten. In 18;!(i an Buren received 170 elec toral votes and Harrison but 73. The panic of lS.ii "obiterated tho ancient landmarks." as the journals of the dav expressed it, aud the congress of 1839-4- 1 6hoved a great falling off. Still the Democrats were able to elect as siieaker tho once noted and often ridiculed Rob ert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter, of Virginia. In 18W tho revolution was com pleteHarrison received 23i electoral votes nnd Van Buren 601 This was not so great a surprise then as it now seems, for the country really was in a very bad Way. Two years later came the greatest surpn?e perhaps m our history the W higs elected but 09 congressmen and the Democrats 140. Iu 1844 the figures remained nearly the same, yet in 1840 the Whigs chose 115 congressmen and the Democrats but 108. The election of Taylor in 1848 was due to a Democratic "split" in New York,o the subsequent steady decline of the Whigs was no surprise. Their last fight was in 1852, when they got but 71 con gressmen to the Democrats 159. Two years later came the fourth great polit ical revolution in our history. The di vision of parties in the Thirty-fourt- h con gress was not clear, but the Democrats were in a minority, aud a combination of Republicans and others controlled the house, N. P. Banks beinar chosen sneaker. The slavery agitation was reopened. but parties remained more evenly bal anced than appears on the surface. At any rate, there was no "great revolu tion," and in 1800 Lincoln received but 41 per cent, of tho popular vote, yet he had ISO electoral votes to 127 for all others. The law of politics that the party in power loses ground in the "off year" asserted itself in the very heat and fury of civil strife, and iu 1862 all the 'close states" went against the adminis one-tea- vk-tory-" elec-tor- coui-luHio- n p n, ft PAIXTT TniNUS FOU PRCTTY WOMKX. tall sentinel with her uplifted band ajijjearing to ptiint out tew beauties and glories I cannot paint; but it was all one gorgeous opaline flame on its Imk ground of cold, dull era v.

The combination of these two colors is a daring one, but indescribably rich but it must bo made by a master hand. The gown must be the clouds with the royal lining. One newly imported gown for home wear that I saw at a grand opening of the finest Paris costumes was of soft and nch faille in dark slate gray with the front breadth of coppery red velvet and with sleeves of the dame. Another toilet had a skirt of gray ladies' cloth embroidered hi darker shades. With it was woni a jacket of copperv red, closely braided with very dark gray soutache, with vest and upper sleeve of gray velvet, darker still, and with a vest and rolling collar of the same. Tho hat carried out tho same idea, with its chandron bows and yel lowish pink plumes. It seems as though tho use of astrakhan and Persian lamb is growing in favor every day, and sleeves to house dresses are often made of one or the other. Sleeves are made of material contrast ing with the dress as often as of the same matenal, and the dress or cloak can be made of two materials combined and the sleeves differ from both. They are made very long, and, while large at the top, grow very narrow at the wrists, some of them buttoning closely up the forearm and others being laced. Flounces and rose plaitings are very pretty, and form a desirable break in the severity of the clinging style now so gen eral. The old style of having four or five narrow pinked out ruffles scantily gathered and overlapping each other is very pretty and dainty. This is for silks and light goods. Hardly any home toilet is now thought complete without the addition of one of the fancy little ruffs, ties, jabots,- or feather or lace boas. In the illustration tli three-fourth- tration.

Then came the greatest of all "revolutions,' both popular and representative. The majority of 743,000 for Grant iu 1872 gave place to a Democratic majority of about 400,000 in 1874, and in the Forty-fourt- h congress the Democrats had 178 to the Republicans, 108. The change in the popular vote is not easy to estimate, as the vote on presi dent and congressmen in 1872 varied greatly, but it fell little short of 1,000,000. The next "revolution" was not so sur prising, but it was big enough, for the small Republican majority in the. Forty-sevent- h (Garfield) congress was changed in 1882 to a Democratic majority of 81. The change from 1884 to 1886 was not sufficient to wipe out the Democratic ma jority, and even in 18S8 the apparent popular majority was Democratic, So the year 1890 must stand in our history as the era of the greatest overturn nntil ? From the foregoing summary the intelligent reader can properly estimate the fellow who is positive he knows just how the next election is going. J. H. Beadle.

Felix Bouchor, bis brother, a painter of considerable talent; Raotil Ponchon, Felix itablie, Amedee Pigeon, Miles. Cecile Dorelle and Paule Verne, all gifted as artists or litterateurs. Most of the plays hitherto produced are in verse from the facile jien of M. Maurice Bouchor or put into new form by that scholarly and accomplished writer. Lord Lytton, who was present with his family when Shakespeare's "Tern-lHt- " was first given, expressed to the originator of this novelty M. Maurice Bouchor sjieaks English fluently his delight at the performance, the translation in verse of the play, and the music introduced. M. Renau grew quite enthusiastic over the pretty fantoccini, and wrote a letter to the newspaiiers wherein . he fonuulates his own theatrical aspirations. Tho ideal theatre ho holds to be the grandest of literary instruments; tho actual modem theatro a mean and des picable affair. He would restore the an tique stage, making each performance a We are offering pnrrhaer upeclal inducements daring: the holiday season, either for cash or on monthly solemnity, "announced," as he says, "to ayments. We also carry In stock the the universe in advance," in which the most able actors, instructed by the greatest philosophers and critics, should Rice-Hin- ze, i ; render the works of the most illustrious poets before u whole nation assembled. M. Renan is inclined to hope that the manonnettc performances may mark the & opening of a new era. M. Bouchor is, perhaps, less sanguine in his views, although much might be said in favor of M. Renan's opinion. The red nbbon of the legion of honor with which a gracious muse has recently dec orated the buttonhole of M. Maurice Bouchor, is a tribute fairly earned by the young and deserving poet, whom we may some day see a member of tho French academy. In November, 1887, a new theatre call ed Theatre des Jeunes Theatre of the Yonmj was opened in tho same honre where M. Bouchor eshibits his marionnettes, with the avowed object of affording a hearing to untried playwrights. M. Desroches, tho manager, has since Stands olone and nneqnaled for the price.
