How THE BALLOT WORKS IN ENGLAND
The lLLITERATE VoTER.-"Ihe illieTate vot-
er" seems to have given a good deal of trouble
at the first experience of voting by ballot in
England. The election took place at Pontefract,
and Mr.. Chiders was reelected to parliament
by the small majority of eighty One of the
London papers says:
"At one time as many as ten or twelve Hitter
ates were In the booth at once, and SO much
time was occupied in making the necessary dec
laratons and going through the statutory form
alities that the voters became impatient at the
delay, and said they might as well go home as
wait there In all cases the constables were told
to leave the room before the illiterates were
called upon to say how they voted The voter
having told the presiding officer he could not
read. made a form Of declaration TO that effect
to which he subscribed his mark Then the pre-
siding officer asked him for whom he wished to
vote. The officer thereupon made the mark upon
tbs ballot paper opposite the name of the can
didate, the voter holding the top of the pen. He
then dropped the paper into the ballot box, and
the voters name and number on the register of
voters were marked, with the reason why they
were marked, upon a list. Each separate dec
laration Of inability to read had to be separately
certified by the presiding officer, which necessa-
rily caused delay.
In cases of old and paralytic persons much
difficulty was experienced by the constabes in
putting them through the various operations,
and the marching and counter-marching pro-
yided by the act, Two or three old gentlemen
discovered that they had lost their spectaces at
home. 1t was thereupOn necessary to deal with
them as persons incapactated by blindness or
other physical cause from voting in the manner
prescribed by the act. The presiding officer ac-
cordingly filled up their votes also, and entered
the vote on his list. In few cases of half in.
corigible stupidity at Knottilgley, the agents
were seen walking up and down with the voter
up TO the last moment, explaining what he had
to do, and even pursued him after he had en-
tered the door, with shouts of Mind you put
your mark at the bottom Chat is, for the can
didate last namely and not the top When
the voters of this calibre got into the presence
of the presiding officer, they seemed quite dazed
by the strangeness of the spectacle, and required
a great deal Of pushing and pulling by the con-
stables on duty before they could execute the
required operations. Some few, at the last mo
ment of dropping their papers into the box,
seemed doubtful whether they had voted for the
right man."

APPLES GOOD FOR Cows.-Erastus Els.
worth, Esq, Of East Windsor Hill, adyertises
800 hundred bushels of apples for sale. He has
probably fifty varieties on his farm, and his
trees will produce this year 1000 bushels. He
brings to our Office the finest specimens OF that
excellent fruit the wine apple, we ever saw.
Two Of them weigh one pound each, and meas.
ure l3t inches in circumference Mr.. Ellsworth
has this year tried the experiment of feeding
sour apples TO his cows. II is known that when
cows break into an orchard and eat their all of
sour apples in single night, it dries up their
milk-hence the prejudice that sour apples are
injurious 10 mich cows. Mr.. Ellsworth took
COW from summer pasture, and commenced
feeding her on half Il peck of sour apples day,
increasing gradually to one bushel day. Her
milk increased fifty per cent in quantity, while
that Of other cows In the same pasture decreased
slightly. He, at later day, took another COW,
nearly dry, from fall pasture, and commenced
with half peck per day, increasing as in the
former case, and this cows milk was increased
six quarts day. MIR. Ellsworth is satisfied that
sour apples are beneficial 10 mich COWS, il cut

CUCUMBER SALAD.-A lady correspondent of
Hearth and Home says: ave have Just prepared
our winter supply Of cucumber salad, and this
is how we made it: "There were about dozen
ripe White Spine cucumbers lying on our vines,
and these we picked, washed, pared, cut into
strips, taking out the seeds, and then to each
dozen cucumbers-which we cut up into pieces
like small deceive put twelve large white
onions, chopped six large green peppers, also
white mustard, seed and gill of celery seed
They were all mixed together, teacup of salt
added, and they were then hung up in cotton
bag to drain for twenty-four hours. Then the
salad, with enough clear, cold vinegar added to
cover it, was put into jars and fastened
nearly air tight In six weeks il will be III for
use. 1t looks as well as it tastes, so white and
crisp, and makes an excellent salad for a Joint
OF cold meat 1t is not like the Spanish salad,
tnat requires a counsellor for salt, miser for
vinegar, spendthriit for oil, and mailman
to stir it up but it is quite as good in its way.

ETIQUETTE OF THE STREETS OF PARIS
American ladies visiting Paris are apt to be
much annoyed until they learn the etiquette of
the streets. They are liable to compromise them
selves if they appear alone upon the thorough
fares without the observance of certain rules
which time has rendered fixed and immutabe
In the first place, respectable young lady in
Paris never appears on the street in anything
but black dress, unless when with male es-
cort or an aged dueIna. If in white or light
dress her character is liable to be mistaken es-
pecially if she should be young or interesting
Then if she is without escort, She must, to main
tain her character, push straight forward, with
out looking to the right or to the left. If she
should stop to look in at the fine displays in the
store windows, for which Paris is so famous, she
must not be surprised if some of the young
men who lounge around the cafes walk up to
her, nudge her elbow, and enter into a CONVEX
sation. 1t is the practice Of the dem monde to
thus stop when gentleman is approaching
whose attention they desire to attract, and the
masculines of loose morals choose 10 regard any
one who may stop TO look at the gorgeous array
Of diamonds in a window as having invited
their attention. So also in riding A lady
seated alone in carriage, either on the street
or in the Bots de Boulogne, is regarded as re.
serving the seat beside her for any chance gen.
tleman whom she may attract.
Thus, ladies who have not male escort either
take their servants with them when they ride,
~
OF their own. To ride alone would be to invite
insult or offensive attention. The same is the
rule in London, and almost throughout Europe.
The fact is that the more respectable classe ssel-
dom walk the street. In London you never see
what we would call at home a well dressed lady.
Those who seem, and undoubtedly are repu-
table, are arrayed in plain suits of black, evil
IDENTIFY intending and desiring to shun rather
than court observation. A finely dressed female
IN London is Invariably regarded as a woman
of loose character if she have no escort with her,
and even then she must carry very demure
lace, and her escort must not put on any fop-
pish airs if he does not desire TO compromise
the character Of his companion But a black
dress and fast walk, as If in a great hurry, is
the only thing that will insure for a lady alone
in the street entire freedom from Improper at
teDtions or insult. The only finely dressed fe-
males on the street anywhere in Europe are
those of bad character Paris Correspondent

The Young LITERATURE OF RUSSIA STUNT
ED.-A correspondent of the London Times,
speaking Of the establishment of the press CEN
sorship in Russia, contends that its effect will be
TO stunt "the young and promising literature"
Of that country. Under the imperial edict
lately issued the only portion of the Russian
press exempt from the supervision of the admin
istratiye authorities has been deprived of its ex.
ceptional privilege and handed over TO the ten
der mercies Of the police. Hitherto, under the
law of April is, 1865, the editors Of all period
icals were left the option Of having their Copy"
revised by the government, or of publishing
without this preliminary ordeal The like priv
ilege extended to the authors of original works
above 100 pages, and to the compilers of trans.
lations above 800 pages; so that the only manu-.
scripts which were absolutely required to be
inspected by that august parsonage, The public
censor, were books and TRANSACTIONS below the
size mentioned. Under the new decree, copies
OF unlicensed books anddecrees will be sent into
the administrative authorities alone, the term
within which an order for suppression may be
issued, being extended from two days TO four
days in the case Of reviews, and from three days
TO seven days in the case Of books. II Is not TOO
much TO say that il the law had been proclaimed
SIX years ago, largeand most valuable portion
oil Russian literature would not have appeared

The Greeley party is having season of dis
enlargement; there are defections in every
quarter, and now that actual voting is begin
ming to take the place of talk and promises, the
results are sadly depressing. The only bit Of
news favorable TO Greeley that we have seen of
late ought, if authentic TO be real comfort to
him. 1t is that Tweed has not made up his
mind to throw his influence for the Greeley co
alition. He has lately opened his heart to
reporter, who admits the public into bis conf
dence after this fashion:
He says he intends to 90 wherever he is well
treated, and that he Thinks is not in the Greeley
ranks He doubts if Greeley will carry New

control 10000 votes, TO be able to carry all the
city south Of Fourteenth street. thinks Apollo
hall is stronger than regenerated Tammany
believes Judge Church the strongest man for
governor and Seymour the weakest, Kierna an

adds: 81 must admit that / was inclined 10 sup

friends, and has driven from the support of

but others. Every man he attacks has one
vote, and it would be strange if he did not in

patronage for his friends and they are 'soters.
When they see their friends attacked they are

The Juggernaut festival at Serampore, India
this year, on the 18th of July, had sad ending
There are three great days Of this festival, which
extends over fortnight, and is filled up in the
main with simple aMusements. The first day
is devoted to bathing the god in the holy Ganoes
water Next his huge car is drawn out from
his temple to that of a brother god, whom Jug
gernaut is supposed to visit yearly, and remain
a week. There are now cars in Serampore;
the large original one, 30 feet high, and a
smaller, which has been sch up as a rival. The
large car, this year, was moved trumphantly
and taken to the appointed place; the smaller
one could not be moved probably because the
greater part of the people were at the larger
In the evening of the return day the
large car was again drawn successfully,
watched by the station magistrate and the few
police of the place. The smaller car, unfortu.
nately, was deemed by the authorities fix
ture, and, in any case, was in the place where
it was wanted. Each car has four strong
ropes attached, one at each front angle and
two inside. At these ropes as many as a thou
sand people pull at one time, and as the great
object with every one is to touch the rope and
one person gives way TO another many thou
sands are privileged to pull the god during his
journey. On this last day Of the festival one
more attempt was resolved upon for the pur-
pose of making the smaller car to at least
move, and unhapply the attempt was success
full, for in moment two of the men nearest to
the car were under the wheels. One was liter
ally cut In two, the others thigh was crushed
nearly off, and there is little hope Of his rccov-
cry. AT first the report went abroad that the
disasters were cases of sell-immolation but it
appears certain that they were pure accidents
arising from the pressure and excitement of
the crowd when the car moved. The wounded
man for long time after being taken to the
hospital called loudly on the god, "What have
done that you should punish meP and he asked
for aud drank gin, so that he could not be At
