You cannot conceive what singular effect the Penn
s,lysnia and Indiana elections had on us, We met
each other in the Streets and esd How do you do r.
"P-etss we'll, thank you; how are you ?" and passed
on. Not word about the elections! AT noon, we
Ia hot q
,sp ,hone as usual. For a moment, we Thought the
crisis had come; for the sound Of muiitd drum was
heard, and military company was seen marching
r,sht northward through the streets OF Louisville
Some said every proper TO nue toe dram, Tor,

they were steering for Indiana. That was dreatdl

however, that Old Abe was born in keatncky, aud
that explained it. Still, We felt bad and looked about
for the sign of Duponts Artesian Well, thinking a
gass Of sup! ur scented would DO usefol 20 the
nerves Every sign we looked at was wrong. The
let.ers teemed to he dancing gs and eotilons, and
when they settled off into theic places, they spelled
Lincoln. Tried to make EN- spell Brsckinridge, or
Bel or Dry-Goods, but they wouldn't. Nswsboys
koked melancholy. Large stock of papers left on
hand Met Repubhcan-one eye shut, aud laughing
with the other. Met darkey, black as ink every
where else, but Lord what streak OF ivory across

msrkstday, ard the country farmers, having got
through their sales, were travelling round. "What do
yyu say about the electonl" asked shopman of one
Of them. "Whst do ssy-ehl ] say hurrah for
Abe Lincoln of Kentucky. Hes made out of our
stuff, pretty fair shout for the streets Of Louis
