BACKING A FRIEND.-The exercise of the right
of suffrage in this "and Of the free" where every
man has the privilege of voting, leads to many
amusing incidents, one of which we will relate
On Wednesday afternoon last candidate for of
fee met one of his warm admirers, genuine sprig
from the Emerald Isle, and, after passing the COM
pliments of the day, said to him: Pat, have you
voted yeti" 'Shure, sir and / have" said Pat
II voted soon in the morning. sir." "And how
did you vote I" asked the candidate, knowing that
the kind hearted Hibernian was Of his warmest
admirers. "And shure sir, watched you and
saw you pick up one OF those tickets with the flag
on the top of it, and you scratched your own name
out, and dii the same, and voted right behind
you" The joke was so admirable, as well as such
a striking commentary on the effect Of universal
suffrage, that the candidate stood "smiles" before
separating from his faithful bscker.--Riehnond
