Electioneerinr

The courts and the husking frolics of u
frontier State usually furnish abundant
material for story and fun. Judge r
-, formerly of the western circuit,
Ala, canvasscd that district in 1914, as
a candidate for the Territorial Senate,
aud was cheared by the promise of lit
tie Frenchman, living in one of the coun-
ties of the Senatorial district, to do 'all
he could for him. Not a solitary vote,
however, was east for the Judge in that
county, and be seized the first opportuni-
ty thereafter to tax his backer with false
promises. 'Sar' said the Frenchman,
very much offended, Il tell you no lie; |
travel over dis country three, four, five
days, and say to every man will you
vote for my friend &c Judge! and he say
no, viii be durnod if | do But, said
the Judge, you did not even vote for me
yourself.5 No, Judge; when l came
back, | shut myself up in my room, and
| lectioneer with myself two days-but
I no get my own consent to vote for you.'

young gentleman, learning that one Of bis
female acquaintance was about to ascend in
d balloon with an g-onaut, addressed her as
follows:
Forbear sweet girl, the task forgo,
And thus our anxious troubles end;
That you will mount full well We know,
But greatly fear you'll ne'er descend.
When angels sec u mortal rise,
SO mild, SO Leautiful and fair,
They'd WOO her spirit 10 the skies,
And keep their angel sister there.
These lines fell under the eye CT another
gentleman friend Of the young lady, who al
once put the finishing touch on them:
That graceless chap with whom you fly,
Despite Of all you do or say,
When sailing in the upper sky,
Will get you in the "miIky way."-Er

The Atlantic is in at last with Liverpool and
London dates to the 18th of November. The news
is interesting, the principal feature, briefly an
nounced by telegraph, being victory over the
Russians in Asia Minor by the Turks under Omar
Pasba The battle, it is alleged, lasted five hours
and the enemy suffered severely. The scene of
the conflict was Ingour, the passage of which the
enemy disputed with 20 900 men, but the Turkish
generalissmo forced it at four points, and pressed
on to Kutas. Advices from Trebizonde four days
anterior to this engagement, state that the Rus
slams had cent of from Kars, in the direction Of
Aexandropol, the greater part Of their baggage
and that they were about to raise the blockade Of
Kars. The Allies reported to have applied to
the Shah of Persia for leave to march an Anglo
Indian army through his territory into Asiatic
Turkey.
There have been no movements of Importance
in the Crimea A Russian deserter had reported
that the Russians, 20, 900 strong, were preparing
to attack the lines of the Allies from ChOrgOun.
and if the attack did not succeed the army had
orders to evacuate the Crimea and retire upon
Kherson and Nikolaieff This contemplated at
tack, however, was not seriously believed.
Nothing has transpired respecting the success
of General CanrObert's mission to the King Of
Sweden beyond the fact that be was graciously
received by that monarch, and that the leading
persOnsges about the Court favored the alliance.
