Hartford, Election was three days
holiday, beginning on Thursday, when
the Governor was inaugurated, and
lasting through the week. The country
people for miles around hocked to
Hartford. There were always gathered
moro or less negroes and Indians, with
their squaws, melancholy remnants of a
dying race.
The Governors Guards, in their Brit
ish colonial uniform, red coats and short
breeches, always paraded. During cleo
ton gambling and drunkenness held
n high carnival Gambling tables, with
dice and liquor-stands, were in and
around the StateHouse Square, dancing
and fiddling going on hard by, "double
shuttle and breakdown" Men and boys
moved amid the throng with glasses and
bottles of cherry-rum; tackled every
body to sell them a drink, making dives,
halfa-dozen at a time, upon the coun-
tl'ymen coming in on horseback, and
thirsty from the dust of the roads. By
noon the liquor'had got well circulated,
when more or less fights took place, with
pushing crowds, and seizures by the con-
stables, and conveyances to the Jail, fol-

No Hiding in Paris.

The population, floating or permanent,
of every reimbursement or ward in
Paris, says correspondent, is counted
officially every month. Be your abode
at hotel, boarding house or private resi-
dence, within forty-eight hours you are
required to sign register, giving your
name, age, occupation and former resi-
dence. This, within the period men
toned, is copied by an official ever
travelling from house to house with the
big blue book under his arm. The reg
lister gives, also, the leading Characters
tics of your personal appearance. Pen
atty attaches itself to host or landlord
who fails to get and give to the official
such registration of his guests. There
are no unmarked skulking holes in Paris.
Every house, every room is known, and
under police surveillance. Every
stranger is known and described at
police headquarters within few days
of his arrival. Once within the walls
of Paris, and historically, so to speak,
your identity is always there. In case
of injury to any person the sufferer is
not dependent on the nearest drug store
for temporary hospital, as with us.
In every reimbursement may be seen
the prominent sign, Assistance for
the Wounded or the Asphyxiated or
Poisoned" Above always hangs the
official tri-color.' say "official," be-
cause certain slender prolongation of
the flagstaff denotes that the establish
ment is under government supervision,
and no private party may adopt this
fashion. The French flag is not hung
pigglety to the breeze like the
stars and stripes, SO that none can de-
termine whether it indicates a United
States government station OF a beer
saloon.
