THE special election to FIJI the vacancy
in the City Treasurers Office takes place
to-day. Polls will be opened at all the
voting places in the city. The candidates
are N. b. Wiley, OK. Slack and Robert. a.
Cunningham all excellent young men,
fully competent we believe, to fill
the office satisfactorily. We have
heard hints of purpose
upon the part of the African voters to
take advantage Of the division in the
white vote to run in Bird, the negro
speech-maker but we do not think that
any movement Of that kind is seriously
contemplated. Everybody should go to
the polls, however, negro or no negro.
The election 10 one one Of some impcr-
lance, and should receive due attention.

pOLYGAMY IN SIBERIA.

Two or three years ago an American
vessel, the japan, was shipwrecHed on
on the extreme northern coast OF Siberia
inhabited by mixed race supposed TO
have originated from a mingling OF the
Russian and Tartar tribes, among whom
the crew spent a considerable time. Ul-
timately they were taken off by a New
Bedford whaler, and lately reached the
Sandwich Islands with the crews Of the
ships abandoned in the Arctic ocean.
The description which they give Of the
customs and mode Of life of their sin
guar entertainers ought to have an cs-
pecial interest for those persons who i'm
agine that the whole world is ripe tor the
immediate establishment Of a universal
republic. The staple food Of these peo-
pie consists Of raw whale and Walrus in
a state of decomposition, while such is
their immoderate love Of tobacco, which,
in common with alcohol, they procure
from occasional traders, that children OF
both sexes, only few months old, may
be seen engaged in chewing the weed.
In the Summer months they live in huts
made of walrus hide, and in Winter in
holes excavated in the mountain sides,
daylight being admitted through holes
cut in the rock, which are stopped up
with ice instead Of glass. During the
Summer the men employ themselves in
hunting the whale and walrus in canoes,
while the women are kept busy in gath
ering grass for edible and other purposes.
In Winter the chief objects Of pursuit are
deer, bears, and foxes. The walrus, how
ever, is their staple reliance, the blubbcl
being placed in pits, whose warmth soon
reduces it to state Of putreiaction in
which condition it is esteemed rs a great
luxury, while the hide furnishes material
for huts, canvas, clothing, fishing nets
and pretty nearly everything else. Po-
lygamy is INDUCED in to an unlimited
extent, each man having rs many wives
as he can keep, the women, if they do
not suit the tastes or meet the expectations
OF the husband, being discarded and sent
back to their parents after few weeks
probation, while in case Of inGdelity tC
their liege lords a portion Of the offend
er's nose is forfeited for the crime. The
marines say, very naiyely, that they mc
with many victims Of this rigorous law
during their sQjourn among them.

STARTLING DGscoyERY.-During the
sitting of Court in Connecticut not long
ago, on a very cold evening, crowd OF
lawyers had collected around the fire that
blazed cheerfully on the hearth in the
bar-room, when a traveller entered, be-
numbcd with cold, but no one moved to
give him room to warm his Sims, so he
leaned back against the wall in the back
part Of the room.
Presently smart young limb of the
law addressed him. when the following
dialogue took place:
"You look like a traveller ?"
Wall, suppose | am ! camo all
the way from Wisconsin a-foot at any
rate ~
From Wisconsin! What distance
to come on one pair Of legs"
Wall, | done it, anyhow"
"Did you ever pass through hell in any
of your travels ?"

skirts"

"The farm you sold last Spring was

you obtained a customer"
Very true, Major, but had to pay
three dollars for it."
"Now, if the neighbors had not main
tanned that press, you would have been
without the means Of publishing your
daughters marriage, and your brothers
death last Summer"
" Yes, yes, but"
"And when your nephew was a candi-
date for the Legislature, you were highly
gratifcd at his newspaper defense, which
elected him and cost nothing"
Yes but these little things are news
to the readers, and make the people take

the words in arranging the type, will re-
