His Pathetic Article.

On the Bay City train coming down
yesterday was a passenger whose
strange actions drew the attention of
every one in the car. He had news
paper in one hand and handkerchief
in the other, and he would read for
minute or two and then turn away and
weep. After this action had continued
for some time, one Of his fellow-pas-
sengers approached him and tenderly
remarked:
"My friend, you seem to feel sorrow
full"
$50 do" was the choked reply.
"Have you had some great bereave-
mentw
mot very lately. was reading a
pathetic article in this paper and it calls
up old recollections."
"Let me see it," asked the gentleman,
and taking the paper, he found that the
article commenced with, GAIL persons
are forbidden to trust my wife after
this date, as she has left my bed and
board" sc. lie didn't know what to
say in reply, and as he handed the pa.
per back Without word The grief
stricken man remarked: ..
II haven't been so affected in fifteen
years."
"Why, what has this to do with youY
was the surprised query.
"Fh-there's fonu wife turned out on
on the world" replied the weeper;
"no home, no cash, no credit. Poverty
drives her to sleep in barn. During
the night she rolls off the hay.mow,
strikes on the fanning-mili, breaks her
neck, and is found dead the next day
The husband and seven children gather
around the body, and-and-but can You
imagine that scene and not weep? Lend
me some of that tobacco and leave me
| to my grief. l feel like a spring break
| up, and l know it's better for the sys-
tenn than quinine."
they stood back and let him grieYe,
and he didn't seem to get over IL bit
until he saw a dog fight on the platform
at the station. That entered his soul
like a ray Of sunshine, aad as the train
moved on he stood up and said:
'PIl bet any cadaver in this car
five dollars that the wall-eyed dog gets
hcked."

AN IDYL.
BY BoNJoUR.

The prettiest cot you ever saw
Adorns our village lane,
With roses clustering DER the door
And every window pane.
But sweetest rose is found within,
Beloved by every swain,
Who vainly sigh, as they pass by,
For Lucy Of the lane.
Let others praise in loftier lays
The thoughtless and the vain;
My humble muse can only choose
Fair Lucy of the lane.
Though poor my skill, my song shall still
Be Lucy ofthe lane.
How soft and kindly Is the ray
That cheers the noon of night,
But when the sun proclaimS the day
No power has Cynthia's lightl
Thus all the fair eclipsed are
BY Lucy, "hearts delight"
BLESSED is the man in whose stored,mind
Poets and sages reign;
But happiest he Of all mankind,
W hom this sweet rose shall gain,
And for his wife obtain wife
In Lucy OF the lane.

THE embarrassed Car with his Tur-
key has been cooked up by the funny
writers for Thanksgiving and Christmas
occasions now fully twenty years. We
respectfully suggest that the bird afore-
said ought to be done by this time. The
subject is egg.sauce-ted it the fowl is
not. The joke is foul if the bird is not.
The public is satisfied if the Car is not.
Moreover, the wit has an ancient tishy
odor if the plat has not. 1t is conceded,
by way OF argument, that the wltticisms
with which the carcass was originally
larded were unctuous in the extreme,
aud the sauces and condiments with
which it was fayored were unusually
piquant. There was commendable crisp
ness in the garnishes and neatness in
trussing and serving, but-excuse us,
gentlemen-pray place the remaining
bones OF that Turkey in the ash barrel.

THE popular vote for Presidential
Electors on Tues lay, was by far the
heaviest one ever cast in this country.
The increase was much greater than
any one believed possible, even allow
ing for the continued growth of our pop
ulation, and will probably run consider
ably above T,0OO,0O This great strength
was shown too on as fair an election as
is possible.
There were OF course some repeating
and some frauds, but no more in proper
tion to numbers than at all previous
elections, and no more than any other
people on earth would show in b work
OF such magnitude.
The tremendous power of the country
can not be more correctly appreciated in
any way than by consideration of the
immense army OF voters that cas-
their ballots ON Tuesday. And that
such a number of treemen
with decided opinions, every one
eager for success one way or the other,
should be able to quietly settle matters
OF this kind, and the defeated willingly
acquiesce in the result, is what the ene-
mics of popular government are not
able to comprehend.

WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT :

No one can yet figure the result of
Tuesdays election with any degree OF
certainty. All is still in doubt, and it
may even take the official returns in one
or two Of the disputed States to def
nitely settle who is elected. The most
accurate estimates now put down 1874
electoral votes for Mr.. Tilden and 1853
for Mr.. Hayes. This is provided Tilden
has carried North Carolina, Of which the
Republicans claim there is reasonable
grounds for doubt.
There is then left in the table of
doubtful States, Louisiana, Oregon,
South Carolina and Florida, with %
votes. II these all go for Hayes he is
elected. but if a single one is missed
the majority is given for Tilden. 1t is
safe to say that at this writing III A.
NJ the figures in every one of these
States, except perhaps Florida, are
more indicative of victory for Hayes
than Tiden.
In Louisiana there is very much of
muddle, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the result OF the contest will not de-
pend upon the vote of that State. Poll
ticians there are notoriously corrupt,
and are more impudent in the perpetra-
tion OF fraud than in any other part of
the country. The managers of either
party there will not stop at any crime
that will help carry out their schemes,
and should the result depend upon the
election there, and an investigation
of it be necessary, such frauds
would doubtless be shown on both sides
and in all directions as to make it
almost impossible to arrive at correct
conclusion. There is now serious ap-
prehension OF the great calamity OF a
disputed Presidential election-a ca
lamity that statesmen in all times
have shuddered in contemplating, and
for which no adequate provision is made
In our sys tenn Of government.
