A LUDrcRoUs MIsTAKE.-The San
Francisco Bulletin Of the 1st instant
tells this story:
An amusing incident occurred one
evening last week OH the Howard
street railroad. The last car, comfort
ably crowded, was progressing toward
the Mission. The occupants Of the car
were not naughty strangers, but be-
longed, with few exceptions, to an
a~ristocratic element In our midst.
Among the representatives of femi-
ninity present were several dark-eyed
Castilian bellies. They were richly
dressed-evidently had attended q
social party. One Of tho ladies, the
loveliest and merriest of the crowd,
wore slippers, and the slippers were
surmounted by large gold buckles.
These facts were not generally known
that evening; had they been, an item
would not have been afforded. The
lady designated carelessly raised her
dress to the top of one slipper, that its
ornament might not be lost, or that 1t
might not become loosened. 1t 30
happened that tho straw In the bed of
the car enveloped the Cinderella men,
Der, and the buckle alone was visible.
A near-sighted gentleman on the oppo-
site scat noticed the scintillation Of the
jewel, and he went for 1t then and
there. A hasty grab, a faint scream,
and his mistake was discovered. He
Immediately changed his ideas about
horse chr riding; 1t moved too slow
for him, and so lie walked the rest of
the way home. lie will not try to
pick another gold buckle out of tile
straw.

A D,sesnsointe Lever.

The Petalunm Journal and Argus, Of
February 2Sth, gives the %subjoined
.'On Monday Of lact week a man by
tho name OF Murphy, a Marin county
dairyman. came to this city with 4
young lady in order 10 be united In
the holy bonds of wedlock. He made
all the necessary arrangements with
the minister, produced u license, and
the hour for the wedding was fixed {
o'clock on Tuesday morning. During
Monday he bought furniture and other
necessary household commodities, and
purchased his darling betrothed n new
dress, in which she was TO be married,
together with many other essentials
and non-esscntials, such rs q man at
this tender and trying hour Is apt to
throw into the lap OF the idol OF his at
fections. The day passed swiftly by.
T. ming came. and the young woman
stopped ut the New York Hotel with
some friends, while Murphy put up at
the Brooklyn. He spent the evening
with her, and upon retiring told her
that he would send a carriage around
In the morning that should convey her
10 the Catholic Church. where the cere,
mony was to be performed. Happy
and content he sought his room, with
joyful anticipations and hopes of the
morrow. when his lonely career should
terminate in the perfect joys of commit
bal bliss. How he mentally grieved
ut the loneliness OF the atf1anced bride.
But sustained withthe happy reflection
that on the approaching morrow he
could cheer her lone heart, lie pillowed
himself upon his couch and slept. On
the following morning he arose With
the lark, and sharp upon time a car
rage drove up to the New York
Hotel. The young woman was sought
for. but 10. she had disappeared, and
He'd to parts unknown. No trace
could be found Of her. and a rumor got
abroad that she had eloped with an
other man, while Others believe that
she Is hid away somewhere In this city.
At any rate she was ION e. iarentWs,
and the chagrined and disappointed
lover was left alone to mourn his un-
happy lot. and sorrowfully to muse on
the trcachery Of love and the ircon-
stancy of tickle woman. He returned
to his lonely dairy, undoubtedly i'm
pressed with the belief that man pro-
poses and woman disposes. lie can,
however, find a balm in the reflection
that lit Is better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at ALL"

The Bankrupt law, let us explain, went into

An amendment was passed by Congress to tho
effect that at tho expiration Of ono year after
the law went into effect, no debtor shall receive
a discharge In bankruptcy unless his net assets
would pay fifty per cent. Of bis proved debts.
Subsequently an extension Of time for the op.

would not go into operation till January !, 1869.

HONEST VOTING.

Republican liberty depends upon
nothing more absolutely than a ballot
protected from fraud. Every fraudu-
lent vote or fradulently counted vote
DISTINGUISHES a voter. The citizen Is
as thoroughly robbed Of his franchise
If an illegal ballot Is counted against
his ballot, as IL he excluded from
the polls. Nothing should be more sa-
credly guarded than the purity of cleo
lions. The framing Of a registration
law Is a duty as important as
the framing Of all Acknowledgement
law. The baleful effect Of a fraud
ulert election does not cease with
the immediate robbery of voters
rights pe~rpetrated Its general politi-
cal influence Is permanently disastrous.
It creates among the citizens them
selves a widespread distrtst Of free In
situations and contempt for the author
ity of the people as exercised at the
polls, a scorn for the "~so-called de-
cisions of majorities " that Is the read
lest ally of revolt and rebellion 1t
begets and fosters the sentiment that a
free vote settles nothing: 1t saps the
confidence of the people themselves IN
a government by the people, and helps
to predispose them for a surrender OF
the republican form. And 1t brings
that form into derision among the In
habitants Of other countries, leading
them to prefer their own despotisms to
the despotism Of the fraudulent ballot,
and postponing indefinitely the reali-
zation Of universal human freedom.
The ascertainment OF the will Of the
legal voters Is thesone transcendently
important act Of the State. 10 the
integrity of this act it Is as vital that
fraud shall be excluded al that the
legal voter shall be admitted. Thou
sands of citizens In New York stay
away from the polls because they know
.heir votes will be overwhelmed by
| fraud. Where Is the liberty, or the
consciousness of liberty, of such citi-
zens? What are their meditations OH
"our glorious free institutions" 10
what sentiments and theories Of gov
ernment will they and theirs help
lessly drift? Virtual slaves In a free
country, they must at length covet the
| comparative liberty and security OF
monarchical sway. The relentless foe
to the guardianship Of the ballot Is the
determination of n party to maintain
or acquire power ut any cost. The
hottest guaranty of mans richest trea-
sure becomes puerile trash to such q
determination. SO that the party be
kept supreme, let voters be s.iiled by
whatever means to whatever extent
This Is the spirit of every despotism
the world ever saw. The citizen who
admits this temper in his breast II pos
sessed with exactly the demon Of the
most cxecrable tyrant Of any age.
True freemen, of whatever party, will
prize the free and pure ballot as they
prize their own liberty. above party
supremacy. TO strike 1t down for that
Is to put letters upon their own limbs.
In u land of true freemen there ought
to be 10 jealousy of parties, n of
another. on this score. Each party
should feel that the ballot, at least, Is
safe In the others hands.

Otto Burbauk-the former at the The.

latter manager OF the Winter Garden,
Chicago-have written letters to their
old "pard," Johnny Dc Angels, from
which we make the following extracts.
Burbank says:

of the death Of Johnny Collins. Poor
johnny! | hope he Is better of than
he was here in this gay and beautiful

But they have gone. the Lord knows
where. What = all the boys doing?
Is California rs Uull as when I LETT, or
are the times better? Tell me what
amusements there are there, and how
