An Election Incident.

Harper's Weekly says: A friend re-
Gently related to us the following cir
cumstance, which occurred in one of the
uptown wards of this city: Two gen.
tlemen went to the appointed place to
be registered for voting. A German,
evidently uneducated, made the written
record. The usual questions were asked.
One of the gentlemen replied without
taking any notice of the manner in
which the record was made; the atten-
tion of the other-who had stated that
his name was Wilson. and his age thirty
was attracted by the pen OF the writer.
He began to be suspicious that all was
not correct.
"How are you writing my name 2" he
demanded.
al know, know" replied the man,
in German-English al have it all
right"
But what are those ditto marks for p
persisted the gentleman, as he watched
the further motion of the pen.
The man declared it was "all right"
but the gentleman insisted on seeing the
record. He was somewhat amazed to
read, "Mame, - Wilson, age 300,"
followed by ditto marks. And glancing
above those marks, he perceived the word
'celored" appended to a name which had
been written above the last two names.
The joke was too good to be lost, and
the young American still laughs with
his friends over "Willsson, ags 800, COL
Ored."

THE PRESIDENT OF MExIco.-The
election for President of Mexico resulted
in the almost unanimous choice of Lerdo
de Tejada. The votes against him were
few and scattering. A programme OF
the course the President proposes for
himself has been madepuhlic, and may be
condensed into this phrase: Little pol
itics and much administration, Since
a few days ago the newly elected Presi-
dent has ceased to exercise any OF the
extraordinary powers with which he
was invested. Portirio Diaz has sent il
his own submission TO the Government
and the surrender of the forces under
his command. The paper was dated
October %, near Durango, and the Gen
eral promised to present himself at the
capital. This makes complete the psci-
fication of the country. 1t is reported
that President Lerdo intends to restore
Gems. Porfrio Diaz. and Trevino to their
former rank in the army.
