G. T. RUBY.-The Houston Union of May Sd
speaks as follows of a Portland man, who is
now resident of Texas:
The colored people of this State are formid-
able political element, and their rights will not
be ignored in the coming election. Our friend,
G. I. Ruby, of Galveston, is probably the rep
ressntative colored man Of this State, and we
trust his friends will bring him prominently
before the public on the Republican ticket.
Ruby is roundly abused by the Rebel and
Conservative Republican papers that have
now united in the support of the renegade
Hamilton for Governor

her thousands Of young women working at
starvation prices in Boston, and living on a
few crackers or other insufficient food for
weeks. And Miss Phelps is working woman
herself and highly respectable and credible
person besides. But enter, on the other side,
Nr. Beard, connected with one of the largest
wholesale clothidg houses in Boston, affirm
ing that this large detachment of the great
army of Les Miserables does not exist in Bos-

PRESIDENT GRANT AND JOHN PHGNIx. The
Hartford Post, speaking Of Attorney General
Hoar's chagrin on account of the Presidents
having asked him for an opinion on the eight
hour law and then disregarded it, discpurses
in Enthusiastically humorous style as fol-
lows:
And Hoar is-no worae off than the man who
sat in front of John Phoenix in the theatre.
Phoenix thought he recognized a friend two or
three seats of, and asked the gentleman just
in front, if he wouldn't nudge that man,
(pointing him out) with his cane" The gen.
tleman did as requested, but just as the party
nudged turned round, Phoenix saw that he
had mistaken the man. Thereupon he became
much interested in the play, and looked at the
stage instead of the man. The man who was
punched looked savagely at the man with the
cane. The man with the cane looked round
at Phoenix and back at the other man. Pho-
nix made no sign. The man who had been
punched began to get mad at the man who
had punched him; so did the man who punch
ed at Phoenix who asked him to do it, Phu-
nix meanwhile seriously studied the STAGE
Look here,' said the man with the cane, in
furious rage, Sdidn't you tell me to punch
that man?"
Il certainly did" blandly responded Phn-
nix.
"And what did you do il for?'' roared the
other
"Oh, nothingl only to sec if you would''
said Phoenix, grimly.
General Grant seems to be playing Phoenix,
while Hoar takes the part of the man with the
cane.
Hoar says, "sec here, didn't you ask me for
my opinion?.
"Well, what did you want ofit?"
"Oh, nothingl only to see what you thought
about it."

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS This il year of
Liberal triumphs. The elections for members
of legislative bodies in America, England and
France, all within year. have resulted fayora-
BILE to the Liberal party. The elections in
France that began Sunday (they always vote
on Sunday ON the Continent) has resultt in a
Liberal gain of one hundred per cent. if we
may believe the cable dispatches. 1t is said
that even the terrible Rochefort, editor of La
Lanterne, who has caused the Emperor SO much
Distress is elected. If be is, it is not probable
that he will dare to show his head in France.
1t is reported that Theirs is defeated and also
Olliviar, both stanch Liberals; but Jules Simon
and Pallatier, and no doubt jules Favre, the
noblest Roman of them all, are among the
ninety successful opposition candidates. Paris
and Lyons were carried by the Liberals. There
was rioting in Marseilles and cries of TiUa La
Republique, all of which is dismally suggestive
to his red handed majesty, Napoleon First.
