The efleets were disastrous, dainagiag cars and *tati«ns, and ln|uring about forty <»er- •«)Hs,*8oiiie of thiem dangerously. The explosions were matters of great mys tery, but Were generally thOHglit to be Of Fenian origin. The Chine9« of Saij Francisco are playing sharp on the post oltlce department.- It is reported to the in spector at Washington that the Tokio, from China, on het last trip, brought •over, concealed in merchandise, up wards of five thousand letters f«r Chi nese In that city, on which the regular postage would have been over two hundred dollars, and it Is believed that four-fifths of the letters reeieved by the Chiese are smuggled ever in the v>WBp* way. ^ The Fat-Stock Shofc Great preparations are in progress* 4kt the Exposition building. Chicago, far the Fat-Stock Shew, Nov. 14-22. The Interest 1n this Show is increasing ' each year, and it now attracts exhibit- Are from England, Scotland, Canada, nnh all the State-9 engaged in beef pro duction. The show of horses, also, will be large and Attractive, and will in clude the best specimens of draft horses fnn France, England and Scotland.

They *1*0 make literal reductions to shippers •f fat cattle to the Siiow. W^The recent election may be «J»w summed op: Massachusetts elscts Bobinson, Republican, Governor by about 10,000 majority over Ben Butler, and secures a large majority In ea£h house of the Legislature. NeW York elects the Republican Sec retary of state and has a Republican majority in each house of the Legisla ture. while Pennsylvania elects the Bepubllc&n candidates for state officers '<sy from 8.090 to 12,000 majority, and both houses of the Leg islature are Republican. In Virgin a the Mihone party i« defeated. In Maryland the Democrats elect their States ticket. Minnesota elect the Bepubllcan candidates. Nebraska elects «1l the Republican candidates. Thus It will be seen the Republicans have made a gain of over 200,000 in New York State tinee the last ^election and now practically have control of the state and Etaid old,Massachusetts repudiates tile fraud Butler by a round majority. Oh yes, "the rascals must get," From the Chicigo Journal, Kov. 8th. WATCHMAN, WRATOFTHIC WIGHT* The political atmosphere is a good deal clearer than it was before the elec lions were held, on Tuesday last. The result of that day's work enables us to see through the political mists and fogs that have enveloped the country since the Oeatta of the lamented Garfield; and, looking ahead, we catch sight of the cheerful dawn of a brighter day. Since the last Presidential election many o| the States that gave their Electoral votes for Garfield and Arthur got weary in well doing, and illustrated tlie pervers'ty of human nature by tak ing a flop over to the other side. New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut. Mas sachusetts and Michigan are presided over by Democratic Governors, and ID October Ohio returned to the Demo cratic told 'Mike a dog to his vomit." Ten days ago it was a mere matter of opinion whether all these States might not continue on in the broad road that leads inevitably to political ruin, and range themselves en the Democratic side in 1884. Candor compels the re*1 luctant admission that the prospect ahead was net at ail cheering for the Republicans. But all that is now changed; and, looking hastily over the field, the eye doe* not rest upon a single State in the list that was carried for Garfield in 1880 that may not be carried for the Republican candidate in I884r-- not one--and we expect to reclaim California, which the Democrats cheat ed MS out of at the last election with the infamous Morey letter. Last Tues day's work gives the Republicans great encouragement for the future. Har mony and conciliation among the Re publicans, aided by one term of Demo- cratictoogus "reform," have given the Empire State back to th*m, or practi cally so, and have overcome the 200,000 majority given to Governor Cleveland last year. Both New York and Penn sylvania have, repudiated boss rule; both have emancipated themselves from the hated domination and dicta tion of selfish factions, and both mny be mustered into the Republican ranks again and made to swell the shout of Republican victory. The same may be said of Ohio and Jndifina. The former lias never yet cast her vote against a ^Republican candidate for the Presi dency since 1860, and the memory of the oldest politician does not recall the time when she voted for a Democratic canditate for the Presidency uuder any circumstances whatever. Ohio is a Republican State ar.;J a tariit State. Next year she will not be distracted with side issues, but like the prodigal son, she will return to the father's house, and the fatted calf will be killed and there will be "mu?ic and dancing." And, In conclusion, we repeat and emphasize the assertion made above, namely, that there is not a State »n the Union which the Republicans carried for Garfield in 1880 that caipiot be car ried by proper effort in 1884 for the Republican candidate for President, with a bright prospect of gaining sev eral other States, including California and Virginia. It is lime for the Re publican party to turn its face once more towards the rising snn. It has notstormed ither or raided," lo, these three days.

According to announcement a «oei«l dance was given in the cheese factory Friday night. A good mat))' were ia attendance and a good time was en joyed by all. Again, as in times-of yore, the lllns- ttious member of the '"Iceberg"' frater nity of Hebron tak"S the columns of the PLAINUKALKR as a medium through which to maker her scathing eriticisms. Nothing attempted, either in prose or rhyme, escapes the sarcastic vision of this purdly critical genius. We w« :re fully aware that within the quiet pre cincts of Hebron dwelt this literary star, but were iu hopes that our first and well-meant effort might escape her terrifying gaze. But. alas! we were fo he mistaken. Like other unfortunate individuals we have been subjected to the ridicule of her eritical |>e<>. We read and accept the article with rever ence. Like a young doctor or a young lawyer, a poet is one of the most agon izing pictuK?s of humanity as he vai dv struggles for existence while In the Held with SJCII brilliant cot*»inporaries as this one we now come In contact wstli. The critic should remember that some are born gcear, and some must achieve greatness. Because Helicons correspondent won for herself by so little eftort and in suclv a short time, the noble appellation of hard, she should not for one moment think that all are capable and competent to win like applau-e by similar efforts. We shall endeavor by degrees to work up to the poetical standurd to which she so readily rose by the publication of but one article. Those memorable lines written in honor of the renowued "Pea nut Brigade" are still fr*sh in the minds of the readers of the PLAIN* PKALKR. They wero so beautiful and O. so poetical. Perhaps we are not fav ored with that inspiration that was so gratuitously bestowed upon her. Yes, you shall receive a copy of our first edition for your library, free gratis. Allow us alio to make one suggestion to the honorable board of the associa tion: that they procure and pastw upon the fly-leaf of. each book contained iu sa'.cl l ibrary a copy of that eloquent eulogy on the ••Peanut Brigade." This should be done In honor and respect tor the great poetical aud critical genius whom kind Providence has so kindly given the good people of i| |B» bron to dwell within their midst. CONVEY ANCK8.
