In COOP SPIRIrs.-The Republi-
cans generally were disposed yester-
day to accept the result of the city
election philosophically. and in good
spirit. The expression on all sides
among the true men Of the party was,
that it was but a temporary local
reverse, which could, and would be
turned to advantage in the future
contests with the old enemy of pro-
gress and equal rights. Evansville
and Vanderburgh County are yet true
to Republicanism.

woman in this city who was married
at the age of thirteen, her frst child
WIS horn before she ,Kna fDurteen,
and at the age Of eighteen she had
four children. and now at twenty has
seven children"
A Canadian didn't believe keg Of
powder which he had just received
was good; so he threw coal Of fire
into it. Several Of the shingles of
the roof were found struggled across
into America. 1t Is also believed
that the man has emignted, as he
has not been seen at home since the
occurrence. although one Of his legs
was found in Lower Canada.
How would you like tn be wO-
man in China? The law Of that land
orders that: LIST. Before marrying,
the daughter must obey her parents.
I'd. Amer marrying. she must obey
her husband. Sd. After the death Of
her husband she must obey her oldest
son. /.
