Tbe vole on State oflScers, with the exception of Governor, i verj close. Cornell secured his elec'ion by the division of the Democrats. Next year the Democrats will all be together, in New York aa well aain Massachusetts and every oth er State. This leaves New York iu dispute, and, as it goes, so will go the national election. With a solid Son ill the Democrats only need to carry New York and Indi aua to elect, their national ticket. Iadiana is as surely Democratic a Massachusetts is Republican. So the national hinges on New York, and is donhtful, with the indica tions in favor of the Democrats. From the IS. Y. Herald, Iud. The thoughtful and intelligent part of the republican press are very far from exulting over the sue cess ot their party iu electing Mr. Cornell. They find more of warn ing than of encouragement in a victory which is due to the demo cratic split. Mr. Cornell is not elected by a majority, but by a mere plurality. The two democrat ic candidates for Governor nave re. ceived twenty five or thirty thou sand more votes than were given to the republican candidate. The na tural inference-the inference which democrats throughout the country are eure to drawis that a demo cratic candidate for the Presidency popular enough to reunite the par ty in New York has excellent chances for carrying the State next year. In at is to say, a 1 residen tial candidate who should receive all the votes given to both Robin son and Kelly would distance a candidate receiving only the votes given to Cornell. The aggregate vote ot 1880 wi'l indeed be larger than the aggregate vote of 1879; bat if 1he same propotions are maintained the reunited democracy would sweep the State. From the N. T. Times, Radical Here are the obvious fact: The democrats had two candidates for Governor, tbe republicans one. The "bolting" democratic candi date obtained a vote of at least Go ,000 throughout the S ate, or 25,000 more than the vstima'ed majority of the regular republican over the regular democratic candi date. In other words, if the vote on Governor be held to be a test of republican and democratic strength in this State the republican party has been showu to be in a minority of 25,000 votes.

The Black Madonna. The History of the Famous Shrine of Ein siedein. Written for the American. Ten or twelve tnilee southeast ot Richterscrorl, a small town or. the southern shore of L ike Zurich, lies the village " oT EiiVgiedein. This village, 'insignificant iu itself, id i poiut of "great" interest aud attrac tion, from the fact that it contains miracle working black image of the Virgin Mary, and also the abbey and church wbiuh have been erect ed in its honor. According to the chronicles of the abbey, the history of this im age ia as follows: Dming thereigu of the mighty Cbiuleuiage, Meiu rod, Count of Sulgeu ou Hie D.m ube, a memter cf the illustrious house of Iloheiizolleiu, determin ed to speud the remainder of his life in prayer and solitude. Iu pur e-uauce of this lesoiution, he with- diew from the hauuts ot meu. se cluded himself iu the wilderness, i and, ou the place where now stands Einsiedeiu, built for himself a her mit's cell and a chapel for a certain woudeiful image of the Virgin, which he had received as a piu Mon gift from the pious Ileklegaide, j now a saint, then Abbess of Zu rich, i In 861 the lonely man was mur dered by two robbers. But the custodian of so sacred an image was not to die ntavenged. Hisi murdereis were discovered at Zu- rich by the peculiar croaking of two ravens that Meiurod had bten in the habit of feeding, and were executed "on the spot where now stands the Raven xlotel. The death of Meiurod, aud the circumstances attending it, caused the rumors of his sauctity and of the miraculous power of his Ma donna to be spread tar and wide. His humble cell aud chapel were superseded by a monastery and an elegant cuutcu, erected by some benedictino hermits. The place was thereafter styled Einsiedeln, (a German word, siguifying to live in solitude), and tbe image was designated as "Our Lady of the Hermits. While the Bishop of Constance was preparing to conse crate the newly erected temple, ce lestial messengers announced to him at midnight that that service bad already beeu pei formed by the Saviour himself, surrounded by "a multitude of the heavenly host. Pope Pius VIII., by a bull, con firmed this statement, and, sioce so notable a miracle had been -wrought for the new edifice, he caused to be inscribed thereon a declaration of plenary indulgence to all who would make a pilgrimage to the shrine of tbe Black Madonna. Pil grims flocked thither lrom all quar ters, bearing such costly- m events that the monastery rapidly became i he riches, m bwitzerland, except that ot Uall Rudolph of llaps burg elevated tbe abbot to tbe rank of prince, a court, was gathered about him, tnd he became lord of a vast domain. In 1798 the French armv plun dered ihe church and monastery at TH- ' 1 1 ... J pinsieaein, carrying on, as was supposed, Mein rod's Madonna; but tbe,; monks, who lied at the ap proach of the French, also bore away an image of tire Virgin,- which they strenuously affirmed was the original We shall not presume to decide between the French soldier; and Jbe rooqjfsbut tbe weight o umuouiy seems to ue with the lat ter, for when they returned, and re stored their image to tho place it formerly occupied, as they alleged, they found that it had power to work wuders, and to a'tracr, as be fore, the believing children of the Mother Church. From the time of the return of the monks to the pre sent a stream of pilgrima to the shiine, and a stream of money in to its coffers:, have flowd without intermission. From 1516 to 1519 a famous man was curate of Einsiedeiu. Duriug the period of his curacy he lost confidence in the sooty image, doubting whether the repetitios of Pater Nosters and Aves before her fehi ine would avail to take away the guilt of sin. lie iutimated that the sale of indulgences was shamefully abused at Einsiedeiu. He even vettured impiously to assert that "the greatest -vilhans came hither merely to get fret.h ccurage, and not one is even reformed." Kneel ing in his solitary cell, and crying unto God "for understanding ot the VVoid," he beheld the first tints of this bright day which was soon to shine npou him. lie then began to preach what he believed to le the true Gospel, as revealed in the Scripture.. He denounced indulgences, pilg imag es aud monastic vows with such earnestness aud such eloquence that the monks actually abandoned their monastic life. His triumph, was but temporary; the monka, re turning to their cells, resumed their former mode of living, and he was obliged to quit Einsiedeln. This bold preacher was none other than Ulricb Zwingle, the distinguished leader of tiie Reformation in Swit zerland. The church at Einsiedeln, built in the Italian style, is a large and imposiug structure, somewhat re seixibling that of St. John Laterau, at Rome. Id the nave, Lot far from the entrace, has beeu erected a black marble chapel of the Virgin, enclosed by a railing. In this chap el stands the peculiar tieasure of the abbey, the litilo black Wooden group of the Virgiu aud child, be fore which haugs a coustauly burn ing lamp. Each of the figures is attired in gold brocade, and each weais a golden crow richly jewel led. Einsiedeln is now one of the niTst famous resorts of Catholic pilgrim. iu the worid, only two slmiiea be ing more frequented that of San Lt metto, ic Italy, and that of St. James tf Camposttlla. iu Spain. Its monastery, tenanted by about 100 monks, has a library ot 32.00U volumes, a museum of fossils, a cabinet of minetals, and a printing press. A free day -school and a boaidiug school are conducted by the monastics. The abbot is known throughout the Catholic cautous as the '"Prince of Eiusiedelu."' His private chapel is gorgeous with tmi O irinicAn vultrar Within the church are usually inndrcds and sometimes thousands of devotees, prostrate betore the wonderful image, reciting their prayers some shoutirg aloud. A single chapel in the church, that of the "Magdalene." contains twenty eight confessionals, in which confessions are heard in German, French, Italian and Ilomausch. In the chapel ot the Virgin, already mentioned, are annually suspended three hundred votive tablets, in grateful commemoration of sores and wounds healed, of diseases cured, of dangers averted, and ol griefs assuaged, in answer to peti tions proiiered at the altar ot the Black Mandonna. Before that altar about 150,000 pilgrims an nually kneel, to render thankd for mercies past, to implore forgiveness for their sins, and to invoke bless ings and protection for the future. Ih 1861, within a period ot two weeks, including the 14th of Sep tember, the fete day ot the abbey, the number ot arrivals was nearly thirty-six thousand. For the en tertainment and refection of the pious lu6ts who flock to Einsiedeiu, fifty-five inns and some twenty-two ale houses open their hospitable doors. But the most striking; evidence of the reputation of this marvellous Madonna in the Catholic world is the belief entertained by some of the faithful that devotions perform- 1.1 a ea at tier snrine oy proxy naye a certain efficacy. Hence, it is al leged that many pilgrims who re sort ' thither are expected to do penance or to purchase indnlgcncies for those wishing to avail them Belves of her niiracnlons power, but unable ftOj vjbit the hallowed place.

The annual report of the Com missioner of the General Land Of fice was submitted yesterday to the Secretary of the Interior by Hon. J. &L Armstiong, acting Commis- i Tl -11- oiuuci. aiicio wiis surveyed uurtng the year 8,445 781 acres of public lands, and l,(i39,214 acres of pri vate lauds, making a total of 9, 484,995 acies. The total area sur veyed tiinca the bt ginning of oper ations to the close of the fisoul year is 734 591.23G acres, leaving yet to be suiveyed 1,080,197.686 acres of the total area ot the States aud Territories; which, therefore, is 9.814.688.922 acis. The report gives in dtta.l the disposal t.f lauds duiiDg the year, the figures of which have already beeu publish ed, aud treats at length of thesm veys made iu the several States and the special surveys made of Indian resei vations, etc. Timber culture, deseit land entries, and gran's for railroads', wagon and canals are aUo treated of. and the decisious governing all cases where the grants have como before the courts are given. A statement of the mining claims issued duriug the year accompanies the report. As the Commissioner is by law made the auditor of all public ac counts relative to the publio lauds, he devoted some t-paee in his docu ments to this of his rffice. The reservation of public lauds for mil itary pnrpofees also receive atten tion. The Commissioner states that there has been nothing doue by Congress towards the suppres sion of timber depredations Rived the act of Congiess of March 6, 1879, which $10,000 was appropri' ated for this purpose. The report gives iu detail the result of the op erations of the special agents of the department, ami tho institution of civil and criminal suits against the offenders. There is a great waste of iue trees in the (m i en tiue Stales of Florida, Alabama aud Missis-ipni, wheie the tiees are wantonly set on fiie by cattle owners, after the 3 it-Id of turpen tine has become exhausted. In one ca?e 1,000,000 tiees were destroy ed in a single night, half of which were ou Government lands. There is also wanton desti notion ou the mountain slope of Utah, where trees are fret on fire by men, who use large qualities of fence poles, who delibt rately set die to the best gioves to make the wood light and easy to haul away. Iu one case 10,000 on uiisurveyed lands were thus destroyed. Iu couclu&ion the actiug Commissioner calls atten tiuu to the fact that the changes made by law governing the dispo sal of public lands has made an in creased force necessary to perform ihe duties cf the office. The report of the Director of tht Mint has beeu submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, ami shows the operations of the Unit ed States Mints and Assay Offices during the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1879. During the year the total deposits of gold and sii vei, iucluding silver purchases, amounted to $71,179,654,65, of which $42,254,156.80 were gold arid $ 28,925,497.85 were silver.

A Remedy for Diptheria. Imperial Russian Legation, Washington, Nov. 10, 1879 To the Editor oj the Herald : In view of the increase of diph theria in several places of the Stato lot New York I hasten to commti 'nicate to you tor publicity a very simple remedy, which, having, been used ii; Russia and Germany, may prove effective here. Out of sever al others, Dr. Letzerich,' who mado extensive experiments in tho appli ! cation ot this remedy, has used it rt twenty-seven cases, eight of which .vera of a very serious na ture, all of which had a favorable result except in one cast, when tho child died lrom a complication of diseases. For children of one year he prescribes the remedy, for inter nal use every t.e or two hours, as follows: Natr. Benzoic, pur. 5.0 solv. in aq. distillat aqinen'th, piper, aua 40 0. syr. eort. anr. K.O For children lrom one to three years olti he prescribed it from sev en to eight grammes for 100 gram mes of distilled water, .with same syrup; for children from three to seven years old he prescribed ten to tii'tceii grammts, and tor grown per sons from fifteen to twenfy-fivo grammes t'r each 100 grammes. Besides this lie uses ulso with great success the insufflation oti tho diphtherial membrane through a lass tube 111 serious eases every three, hours, in light ease& threo times a day of the natr. benzoic pul ver. For grown people he pro scribes lor gitrjilinir ii dilution of ten grammes of this pulver tor 200 grammes of water. The t fleet of the remedy is rap id. After twenty-four or thirty six hours the feverish symptoms disappear compleriiij and the tcm peratnro and pulse beeomc normal This remedy was used also with tbe same succtes by Dr. Brahani Bratiti and Professor Klebs, iu Prag; Dr. Senator, in Cassel, and several oth ers ir. Russia and Germany. Hoping that the publication through your widely spread paper will prove beneficial in the United States, I remain, yours, very truly, N.

During the reign of Charles I, a country girl oamo to London in search of a place as a servant maid, but not succeeding she hired her shell to cany oait beer from a ware house, and was one of those called tub women. Tho brewer observing a good looking girl in this low oc cupation, took her into his family as a servant and alter a short time, married her. He died while she was yet a young woman, leaving her the bulk of hi fortune. Tho business ot brewing was dropped. Mr. Hyde was recommended to the young woman as a most skill ful lawyer, to arrange her hus band's affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards Earl of Chwenoii, find ing the widow's fortune was con siderable, married her. By this marriage there whs no other issno than a daughter who afterwards became the wife of James II,. and mother of Mary and Anne queens of England. A Mountian of Glass. Another marvel recently brought to liuht in the Yellowstone park of North America, is nothing less than a mountain of obsidian, or volcanic glass ISear the foot of the Beaver lake a band of explor ers came upon this remarkable mountain, which rises at that place in colcmnar cliffs aud rounded bos ses to many hundreds of feet in at titude, from hissing hot springs ab the margin of the lake. As it was desirable to pass that way, the par ty had to cut a ro:id through the steep grassy barricade. This they effected by makihg huge firrs 011 the glass to thoroughly heat and expand it, aud then dashing the uold water of the lake against the grassy surface, so as to suddenlj cool and break it np by shrinkage. Large fragments were in Ibis way detached from the solid side of the mountain, then broken np small by sledge-hammers and picks, not, however, without severe lacerations of the hands and faces of the men from flying splinters. In the grand canyon of the Gibson river, tho ex plorers al-o fouud preoipioes of yellow, black and banded obsidi in, hundreds of feet high. . The natur al glass of these localities has fiom time immemorial been diestd by tha Jndiaus to tip their spears a-i4 arrows.
