The Election.

The City election on Tuesday assed off
quietly, notwithstanding more than the
usual amount of interest WIS manifested
among the voters. No party lines were
drawn on any candidates. For the office of
Mayor the issue against the Union League
was met squarely by our citizens, and the
result is the al,defeat of that organization,
Mr.. G. Mayer, the anti -Leaguelcandidste for
May or being elected by decisive majority
over the Union League candidate, Mr.. r.
Finn.
There was a triangular contest for city
treasurer between VIM. Schultz, B. O'Byrne
and F. Meyer, resulting in the succe s. of Mr
Schultz by small majority
The contest for County Judge assumed the
form OF struggle for home endorsement,
between the two independent candidates for
the position in this city, resulting in the
almost entire ABSORPTION of the regular
democratic vote by both, and majority for
Mr.. G: B. Skinner Of SO over Mr.. II Pease.
We believe in Tuesdays election Q dec ided
advantage was secured for the bes, interest
OF the city, and we trust the good work 80
auspiciously commenced, may continue un
TIL every obstruction to our prosperity and
growth il removed. Below we give a COM
piete analysis OF the vote of the city:

ARSON CASE. is curiou,

ARSON CASE. There is a curious
attempt being made at present to work up
case of arson, said to have bsen committed
in the town OF Milford, in this county, a
few years ago, by Mr. +. Hosheuer, at the
the time resident OF that town, but Who
Mr.. q. disposed of his farm in Milford to
Mr.. F. Blair, taking part payment down hold
ing a mortgage for the balance, the insur-
ance policies on the buildings being also as
signed to him as al ditonal security.
short time alter the sale was made the barn
on the farm burned, down. and Mr.. H. receiv-
ad the insurance money from the company.
1t is now charged by former neighbor,
who also removed to the section of Iowa
where Mr. H. resides, that he saw the said
Hols eurer set FIRE to the barn, and threat
ened to kill the informant if he told OF it
In accordance with this report requisition
was served on the Governor of Iowa for the
delivery OF Holsheurer into the hands of the
officers oisJetferson on charge of arson.
M H. wa arrested by Sheriff Off, and
few weeks ago the case was brought before
Justice Ducasse in this city, but WAS
discharged on some informally
in making out the papers. Mr.. b.,
at great expense to the county, was re-arres-
ted, but this time the case was sworn away
from Justice Ducssse, and will next come
before Justice Grim N, of Jefferson, where
justice is expected to be done all aroG nd.
We have heard it intimated that the thing
from begi nning to end looks like put up ob
and that there 10 nothing in the evide tn
show that Mr.. H. committed the deed he is
charged With Should these snrmises prove
correct, the parties guilty OF an attempt 70
run up our county expenses should receive
.be ssyerest condemnation.

The First Of April.

April justly receives its name from the
Latin verb "aperive to open - because in
this month the buds burst forth and Old
Dame Nature "gins TO ope her drowsy
eyes" and shake off her winter letbargy.
Charlemagne called it the grass month,
which name it still retains in Dutch. The
First of April is known throughout the
English speaking world as "All Fools Day"
And numberless are the victims every year
VINO are sent on empty errands this day and
rewarded by peals of laughter. for their un-
suspecting obedience. Traces of the custom
are found in all the Indo-Germanic races,
hence some derive the observance of sAll
Fools Day from the the "Hul Feast" of the
Hindoos. 1t is more probably to be deriv-
ed from the religious plays introduced into
Europe during the 18th century.
These plays portrayed in order the Cos
pei Narrative, and since Easter generally
falls in April the scenes of our Blessed Lords
trials, before Herod- PLATE and Caiphas -
his being sent from one to the other on what
must have seemed to the spectators useless
Journeys-would NATURALLY fall on or about
April the first. In support of this theory.
We mention that the cant phrase for sending
a man ON bootless errand is lin Germany
Herod."
The French for "April Foop' is "Un
Poisson d Avrip as the cannie Scot ca es
bis bonnie lassie when he has succeeded in
iooling her to the top of his bent "gowk,"
that is cuckoo
1t was on the first of April that the Duke
OF A lba lost the town of Bril-, and we can
hardly blame the anonymous patriot of
Bruges-who wrote the following distitch:
''Den ersten tag Won April
Verloos Duc'd Alba Zihnen Bril-"
The readers must please to remember that
the Duke was very sh ort sighted, and that
"Brille" means "spectacles" as we'll as being
But, perhaps, the best "April Fool" on
record was the one perpetratsd by Rabelias.
Finding himself at a Hotel n Mar settles
one first Of April without a sou, and being
DESTROYS OF reaching Paris he concocted the
following brilliant hoax Filling some
bottles with brick dust and ashes be
marked them 'Poison for the Royal Family"
and secreted them where he knew "mine
host would stumble upon them. The bait
took, and Rabelais was treated to journey
to Paris at the expense Of the Government
When he arrived at the Getty of Del ghts'
