'ROG. ow) was not entitled as a candidate, he not being
ihOusekeeper. Mr. Tuonocoon was examined on
the point by the Alderman, when it appeared that be

Atogng the electioneering anecdotes of [he day at
Paris, the 'following is related :—An electne
monied of a friend some information respecting a
certain candidate, who was amply furnished- with
Government recommendations. " (said his
r friend) is father of five children, who have all places
in the public entploi, &c. One day he was preparing
to mount the Tribune in support of a Ministerial mea-
sure, when One of his friends, a Member of the Op-
position, pulled'his coat ; and after exposing to him
.the evil of the measure, in its bearings on his own
constituents, concluded by observing, What can
you want; your five children are; all placed?'—
Yes, yes, I know it,' replied the orator; but (put-
ting his head down to the ear of his friend), but my
Wife is• big with the sixth !' "
