CRY OF MEXICO, Nov. 1, 1S72-via HAVANA.
The election for President Of Mexico resulted In
the almost unanimous choice OF Lerdo de Tejada
The votes against him were few and scattering
programme OF the course the President pro-
poses for himself has been made public and may
be condensed into this phrase :-"Little politics
and much administration" During few days
past the President has ceased to exercise any OF
the extraordinary powers with which he was in
vested.
PORFIRIO DIAz SUBMITS TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Por6rio Diaz has sent IN his own submission to
the government and the surrender Of the forces
under his command. The paper was dated October
2S near Durango, and the General promised to pre-
sent himself at the capital. This makes complete
the pacifcation OF the country.
1t is reported that President Lerdo intends to
restore Generals Pornrio Diaz and Trevino to their
former rank In the army

CAPITALIST RIVALRY CONCERNING THE IRON RAIL.
The railroad war continues.
The hackers OF General Rosecranz telegraph that
they are ready to furnish the security necessary to
insure the completion Of their road, and promise
to begin work Immediately.
heated discussion has taken place In Congress
between the advocates Of the rival roads. The
TRAIT d Unton says that Congress has not come to
any decision, but it believes that the President and
the people are favorably inclined towards the
Plumb project Private correspondence however,
represents that the friends OF the plan urged by
General Rosecranz are hopeful that they will be
ultimately successful. The road projected by Mr..
Plumb seems to be preferred because it will make
direct line to the United States and will be broad
gauge road. What will be the result OF the strug.
gle can only be conjoctured.

A Sad Scene.

A sad scene occurred in the Su.
preme Court, Brooklyn. A hus.
band sued for divorce on the
ground of the adultery of his wife,
The case was referred, and the
referee, in default of the appear,
ance of the wife, reported in IA
vor of the husbands application
The Court confirmed the report,
and the child, the only. issue of
the marriage, a boy over seven
years of age, was brought before
Judge Gilbert on a writ of hdGeas
corpus. His mother, in whose
care he had been ever since the
separation of his parents (which
took place when he was but ejgh.
teen months DID, accompanied
him. The Judge told the child
he must go with bis father. There
upon tho poor little fellow set up
the most piteoUs cries and clung
10 his mothers side, declaring be
iAyaRld never leave her. One of
the officers sought to seize him,
but he ran from him about the
courtroom, screaming in the most
heart-reuding manner, the moth
er meanwhile imploring the Judge
to spare her and her son the hor-
ror of such a separation. Moth
ing, however, availed, and the
wretched little victim was finally
captured and borne from the
sympathizing spectators, uttering
the most piercing shrieks, while
the agonizing mother fell fsinting
to the floor.

Eccentrfcities about Cof-
fins,

The man who can have his
coffin made while alive must
look at death philosophically.
We hear of a case in point in
Person county. Mr.. Richard
Hargis, who has lived near Brad
sher's store for thirty odd years,
turned out a sassafras tree to
grow, for the purpose of making
himself a coffin, and about
twelve months ago had it cut
down and got some one in Rox-
borough to make his coffin out
of it. The old chap occasional
.ly gets in and stretches himself
out by way of showing his
neighbors a 'fgood fit" He
paid the maker of the coffin in
wheat, so he is one living man
who will have no fuss over his
grave about the coffin when
dead. This reminds us of an
old coon in Murfreesboro, n. c.,
who had a coffin cast of iron be-
fore the war. He had his grave
dug, also, and walled up with
brick-with a magnificent tomb
stone, setting forth his name,
date of birth, and fixing his
death somewhere about the
year 1861" But he was alive
and kicking in 1868. The old
chap kept his cast-iron coffin in
his corn-crib, and used to shell
corn in it. The crib needed no
lock at night, for you couldn't
get a negro to go near it after
dark.-Hlzsboro (Mo.) Leader.

What was He ?

A jolly young fellow, named
Corcoran, when he arrived in this
country, some years since, pro-
pounded a puzzle to gruf old
clerk in the New York City Hall,
Which is believed to have short
ened that officials days. Corco-
ran went up to the office for his
"frst papers" The deputy was
a serious old chap, who without
ever looking up, proceeded to put
the formal interrogatories.
"What's your name he de.
manded.
"John Corcoran."
"Your age?"
"Twenty-one."
"What nativity 2"
"Well-that's what bothers me
Ill tell you, aud may be you
can make it out. My father was
Irish, my mother English, and |
was born on board of Dutch brig,
under the French flag, in Flemish
waters. Now, how is it ?"
The old clerk looked up aghast,
showed his spectacles on his brow,
and slowly made answer "Young
man, your nativity and that of
your Saviour are the only ones
which ever puzzled me"

The Value ofa Newspaper

of a mechanic, concerning the
benefits of newspaper:

which my wife had borrowed
As we sat down to tea, my wife
said to me, by my given name
81 wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper, it is 80 much CON-
fort to me when you are away

eff you will take this paper, l
will sew for the tailor to pay forit."
| subscribed for the paper; it
came in due time to the shop
While resting one noon, and look
ing over it, | saw an advertise
IneDt of the county commissioners

put in a bid for the bridge,
and the job was awarded to me,
on which | cleared three hundred
dollars which enabled me to pay
for M house and lot easily, and
for the newspaper. If l had not
subscribed for the newspaper l
would not have known anything
about the contract, and could net
have met my payment on my
house and lot. A working man
never loses anything by taking a
newspaper.

At a recent meeting of railway
employees at Manchester, England,
one of the grievances discussed
was the excessive hours Of labor
which some of them have to un-
dergc. 1t was stated that men
had to work fifteen, sixteen, and,
in many instances, nineteen hours
a day, and that there were two
cases recently where man had
worked 106 hours in one week
and 126 hours in the following
week. A movement in favor of
ten hours as a days labor was
started.

1t is very commonly understood
that water expands in freezing
The law that heat expands and
cold contracts, meets an exception
in the case Of ice. NJ. Boussing-
ault has been trying experiments
to determine whether freezing will
be prevented under conditions
that forbid expansion. He con-
structed a stout cylinder, which
was filled with water, and upon
which cap was screwed down.
This was then reduced to a tenn
perature of II degrees below zero
without freezing, as evinced by an
iron ball within the apparatus
which still moved freely, as it
could not have done if there had
been ice. immediately on remov-
ing the cap the water turned into
ice.

A New Kind Of Wall.

A wall, lately investigated, is
coming into use in England, the
advantages claimed for which are
the very important ones of non
absorbency of moisture, non-con-
duction OF heat, economy of space,
a washable surface, and withal
cheapness. Overa framework of
strong cross wires, of about one
eighth of an inch thick, there is
woven, by powerful pressure,
fibrous matter, which is saturated
with a solution that renders it fire.
proof. 1t is then subjected to a
very powerful pressure. A coat
ing of light Scott's cement is then
put upon it for inside facing, and
Portland cement for outside facing.
By this means surfaces are made
impermeable to moisture, smooth,
and easily wathed with water,
thus saving expenses of repeated
lime-washings. 1t is formed into
slabs in iron frames, which are
put together and closely and Sc
curely fastened with bolts. The
slabs are from one and a-half to
four iuches thick. They are found
to serve as superb pannelling for
dividing-walls and partitions
Where the space is OF Importance,
it has the advantage, perhaps, over
concrete walling, in enabling q
wall to be made Of not more than
one and a-half or two inches in
thickness, and yet its quality is
said to greatly deaden sound.
