Strange Meeting of Widows,

Thirty nine widows were ranged in
rows of chairs, the other day, in the
County Clerks office of Virginia City.
Each had a burial certificate or some
other proof of the death of her hus-
band. They were of varied aspect,
from the dimpled girl Of seventeen to
the wrinkled matron of seventy, max.
ing, probably, the most remarkable
gathering of widows ever known.
Their errand was to recover taxes
which had been improperly collected
the law which allows them to hold q
certain amount of untaxable property
having been disregarded.

these very persons never talk on financial

of the ST. Louis Times is directed to the fact that
Missouri has returned SO, S22 900 and issued only

'If the people of the East and West had only

A single vote made Thomas Jefferson President
of the United States. His election depended upon
the State of New York. The Legislature Of the
State. under the former provision of the Constitu-
ton, named the Electors who should vote for the
Presidency. The city of New York sent the As
semblyman whose vote decided the political com
plcxion Of the Electors in Jetferson's favor This
man was elected BY maj orty Of one vote.
One vote decided the Govcrnorship of Massa-
chusetts when Marcus Morton was elected The
popular vote cast was about 100000.
One vote elected William Allen to the Congress
of the United States in 1884, and oue vote subse-
quently made him United States Senator. One
vote made Thomas Ewing United States Senator
and his vote in the Senate gave the presiding OH
Ger an opportunity to cast the deciding vote
against the confirmation Of Martin Van Buren, as
Minister to England. This made Van Buren, the
most popular man in his party, and soon after
made him President of the United States.
