fort to defeat the Republican nomi-
nees for Council and Assessor in the
First Ward, and to accomplish this
purpose a quantity of bogns Repub-
lican tickets were printed at the Mes-
seager Office, every one of which &C
cording to the Attorney General,
we're illegal, and his opinion applies
to this case, as though it had been
asked especially for it. We called
attention to this fact also, but were
overruled, and the tickets counted,
electing Mr.. Elderkin by 4 votes,
whereas by the legal votes Mr. Groat
was elected by % majority. We
were overruled. Now listen to the
Attorney General:
Suppose one should desire the
election of the regularly nominated
Republican ticket, except t,co candt-
dates thereon, and as to the offices for
which they stand he should desire the
election Of the Democratic candidates.
He may lawfully proceed in one or
sill Of several ways, as respects the
ballots, to accomplish his purpose.
1. He may tCrite the names of the
Democratic candidates upon the reg
ular Republican tickets IN the proper
places, erasing the two Republican
names.
2. He may sCrite the names of all
the Republican candidates, encept the
taDo, upon the regular Democratic
tickets.
8. He may print his ticket through
out, but he cannot give it the head
ing of either the Republican or Dem
ocratic ticket. He may design9te it
as a"Mixed Ticket" or "John Smiths
Ticket" or the like; and he may
leave it without any heading at all.
1t is competent under the act to
change a regular" ticket by the sub
stItution of names of persons not
nominated, ETC., and to print, circu
late and to vote the changed ticket,
bat not under the "certain designated
heading of the regular ticket. As ]
have SAID, the heading of the changed
ticket should be entirely different
from that of the regular, so as not to
mislead.

A CAREFUL TRAVELER.-GOv. Brad
ley, of Nevada, got on the train at Elko
last week to go to Palisade. The car was
crowded, and he was compelled to per
ambulate the entire length of the car 10
obtain a seat. Good morning, my son;

a good-natured way, to big Missourian

ger that he was mistaken in the man,
that his mission was of a different char
acter altogether; but it was of no use, the
more the Goyecner protest his innocence,
the more the man became convinced he
had dropped on one Of them fellers."
Finding his protests and arguments un-
avaiIing, and fearing the stranger might
take a notion to make him vacate the
the seat. the Governor concluded to drop
the subject. The stranger turned half
round in his seat and sat watching the
Governor, as if taking the dimensions OF
a supposed mons,er, until the train ar
rived at Carlin. Here the stranger fol-
lowed the Governor TO the platform, ex-
pecting every moment 10 see him spread
his tricks and take some poor fellow in,
but was surprised to see his ''mOnte

METCALF'S DOG.

Metcalfs grocery store in our place
has been closed for week or so. Met
calf was perfectly willing to have it open,
but circumstances rendered it necessary
for him to suspend business for while.
There had been a good many burglaries,
and Metealf bought a dog to keep in his
store at night. The man that sold the
dog said that its one strong peculiarity
was vigilance. That dog would watch
that store closes than the Genius of Lib
erty watches the destinies of America.
So the man turned the dog loose in the
store, and Metealf locked up and went
home. When be came down in the
morning, the dog flew at him as soon as
he opened the door, and attempted to
breakfast on Mr.. Metcalfs legs; where
upon Mr.. Metcalf suddenly shut the
door and sat down to think. Then he
went after the man who sold the dog,
but he had gone out of town to see his
aunt, and wouldn't be back tor month.
Metcalf then undertook to coax the dog
through the crack of the door, but the
animal still manifested n resolute deter
minatiOn to chew Metcalfs legs, and so
Metcalf closed the door again and again
to wish he had bought a dog less atten-
tive to business. Then he procured a
double-barreIed gun and spent the re-
mainder of the week shooting slugs and
bullets down the chimney, and through
the door and windows, and up through
the cellar ceiling, and still the dog held
out, until finally Metcalf got section
of wire fence, placed it across the door
way, opened the door and banged the
obnoxious animal into eternity. Then
he entered and found that he had shot
holes through the mOlasses cans and
coal oil barrels, and had blown all the
ehinaware to atoms; so that the store
looked as if Il fifteen-inch shell had burst
in it, Metcalf cleaned up and resumed;
but he is anxiously awaiting that mans
return from his visit to his aunt's- Ee

large number of scientific men attended

had complied with Herr Siemen's request
to offer up mental prayer, the coffin
was placed in tine chamber of the fur

five minutes more and the flesh began to
melt away; ten minutes more and the
skeleton was laid bare; another ten
minutes and the bones began to crum-

souELoHIac LEGAL BULLY.

The following is Old-it must be, for
heard it long time ago. and, if it has
been in print, it will bear printing again:
There was, five and twenty years ago,
an attorney, practicing in our courts,
naIued BOOnton. Had he been on the
frontier he would have been either a
blood letter or an 8rrant coward, don't
know which, but he was simply noisy,
coarse-g grained bully; and his chief de-
light was 70 badger and bully witnesses
of the opposing counsel on the stand.
One day a horse case was on trial, in
which Boonton was for the defendant
By and by the counsel for the plaintiff
called witness who was supposed to be
something of horse-dOctor. He was a
middle-aged, easy, good natured man,
clad in homespun, whose bronzed brow
and hard hands betokened sweat and
toll His testimony, which was clear,
simple and direct, made things look dark
for the defendant, and when Boonton
got hold of him he proceeded to cross
question him in his usual brutal manner
Said cross examination wound up rather
abruptly, as follows:
''Well, now" demanded the counsel,
with a COMMUNICATIVE flourish, ''what do
you know about horse, anyway Do
you really profess to be householder"
mo, sir, not exactly. | don't profess
to be n horse-doctOr, but l do know a
good deal about the nature of the beast
That is, ," cried BoOntOD, glaring first
at the witness, and then smiling at the
jury, nodding graciously to the Court,
and sweeping a triumphant glance over
the audience-''that means to say, sir
you know horse from a jackass when
Won see themf'
"Ah-ya-as-jes' so," returned the
witness, with imperturbable good hu-
NOR and gravity, between the two
beasts should never take yOu for the
horse"
For once in his life. at least. the bully
was efTectuaIly squelched. Amid the
wild roar which followed, he threw him.
self into his seat and allowed the witness
to leave the stand.

The WALK ToBosToH.
Mark Twain and Mr. Twitchen as Pedes-
trians.

The Boston Journal of Saturday SAYS:
| The stupendOus feat of walking from
/ Hartford 70 Boston, a distance of about
I one hundred miles. was. as the public
/ are aware, really undertaken by the ad-
] venturOus Mr.. Samuel /. Clemmens.
( better known as Mark Twain. and his
/ pastor, Rev. J. H. TwitclIell. 1t has
long been the practice of these two gen
tlemen to take walks of about ten miles.
IN the vicinity of Hartford, for the pur-
pose of enjoying a social chat, and ex-
changing views on nothing in particular.
and everything in general, the result of
which, 70 use Dir. Twain's own words,
is, that Mr.. Twitchell sometimes gains
ideas from his companion which he EN-
bodies in his sermons, and Mark Twain
obtains information from his pastor
which he works up into eomical and hu-
mOrous stories, and makes note of every
joke which unconsciously falls from the
clerical lips.
Mark Twain says he and Mr.. Twitch-
ell always returned to Hartford, after
one of these jaunts, with the jaw ache,
but never fOotsore. To put an end to
these country walks he''twain" resolved
to undertake the trip TO Boston, and
have enough 'jaw" to last them through
the winter months. AceordingiRgly
they started from Hartford at nine A. NJ,
on Thursday, intending to keep along
the old turnpike road and see the ham,
lets which the railroads have avoided,
and reach Boston on Saturday. At sew
en- o'clock that evening they found them
selves at Webster, having Travelled TWEEN
ty-eight miles, where they passed the
night. Before retiring they had a con-
sultation and decided that their under
taking had developed into anything but
a pleasure trip, and was actually hard
work, and as they started purely for
pleasure, and had promised Mr.. Howells,
editor of the Atlantic, to dine at his
house, in Cambridge, on Monday even
ing, they concluded to take the cars at |
the nearest point, and defer their pedes-
trian tour for a year or so. Friday |
morning they walked seven miles, drove |
ten miles, and reached New Boston, Ct, !
where they took the Hartford and Erie
train, arriving at Young's Hotel at sew
en- p. NJ They subsequently proceeded |
to Mr., HOwells and partook of his hos
pitality and returned to the hotel about |
midnight
Mark Twain wishes it distinctly un- |
derstood that he has not made a failure, |
and would have continued his trip had |
Mr.. Twitcheli not have been under en-
gagement to preach in Newton on Sun |
day morning. Mark says he wants a
week to do the job comfortably, and is
not anxious to take Weston's laurels
away, because he considers that prOfes-
siOnal about as good as he or Mr.. Twitch-
