AGoOd One.

A friend amused us with the
following which he got from wit
ness on the occasion. We have an
exceeding great penchdnt for pass
ing good things around, and must
therefore beg to be excused for in
dulging our disposition to give this
publicity:
Madame Acklen, a very wealthy
lady residing about three miles
from Nashville, Tenn, was recent.
ly married to a man by the name
of Cheatham. A very large and
gay assembly attended the we'd
ding, and every thing was done up
in the most costly and stylish man.
ner imaginable. Madame LIE
Vert was also present, who is one
of the gayest and one of the most
accomplished ladies extant. AT
the banquet, alter all parties
had done perhaps more than JUS
tice to the delicious viands, ETC.,
Madame LIE Vert, who sat near
the head of the table, took up a
little silver bell and rung it, there
by attracting the attention of the
guests, and remarked, "Any youn9
gentleman acishing to eonoerse a0ith
my daughters IN Spanish, Italian,
or French can noao hare the oppor-
t,tnity By withdrawing to the par
lor." No one responding, the
drinking and jokes went on for a.
while longer, when the brother of
the groom, another Mr.. Cheatham,
all at once took up his cane and
gave several loud raps on the floor,
bringing the whole assembly to a
dead calm, and exclaimed, "Any
yoatng lady aois1ting to coeocrse acith
me IN the English language can ''oao
haze the opportunity" The roars
of laughter that followed this admi-
able hit, may possibly prevent the
Madame from indulging in such
another freak Of vanity.

How Elections are Man
aged in Mexico.

The American press has pub
lished the fact, the recent elections
in Mexico have all gone in favor
of President Juarez. From this
it is inferred Juarez must be very
popular, and appropriate compli-
Iments are bestowed upon him.
Now, while he is doubtless very
popular, these elections are no in
dication of it; and any Mexican
would laugh if you coupled pub
I lie opinion with an election. Our
people imagine a Mexican election
is the same thing as an American.
They might as we'll imagine the
ballots were printed in English.
Stanton, while Secretary of War,
wanted ours to be conducted in the
Mexican fashion, and in some
States succeeded.
The thing is done in this way.
Whoever has the military power
in a district decides what names
shall be placed on the ballots
He distributes them, and at the
same time a printed note is address
ed to individual electors to go and
vote accordingly under pain of a
fine for disobedience. These notes
are only sent to poems, or poor
laborers, who hand them to their
employers to read and explain
to them. Of course the explana-
ton is given, and the poems 60
and vote to avoid the penalty
] No other people vote, and no
votes are counted. Sometimes
some fellow, for mischief, puts in a
different ticket; but that one is
thrown under the table by the
! Judges. The elections are al
ways unanimous, for the officials
and the Minister of War appoint
the commandants.
i When General Arista was Min
lister of War, and a candidate for
President, to succeed Herrera, the
Church party was exceedingly
hostile to Arista. Some young
men, friends of the Minister, de-
clared he should have large vote
in the capitol, and raised an cleo
ton fund of a thousand dollars
for that purpose. They hired
three hundred leperos for one day
to do the job, and putting in their
hands the proper names of the
Arista electors, marched them
round in single file, barefooted
and bareheaded, to all the election
stands in the city. Nobody objeo-
ted to their voting everywhere
Their only instructions were to
vote early and to vote often till
shutdown. They received a medic
leach, a silver coin of six cents,
for every time they voted. The
judges enjoyed the fun. Arista's
majority was immense, for it was
unanimous, and similar is the
universal practice all over the
republic.

A distinguished minister of the
gospel, of California, but now a
resident Of an eastern city. was
frequently heard to remark while
a youth at college, that he would
never marry woman who had
slowed another man." that he
wanted "the first warm gush of
woman's love" Nevertheless,
and almost as a matter of course,
he married a woman with two
"sets" of children.
