CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 3, 1879.
Our city election took place Tuesday. Mr..
Hall was elected mayor by a majority of only
sixty-five over Mr.. Fox, the defeated candi-
date. This is considered close voting.
There is talk of new election, and rumors
that the Hall party are guilty of informali-
ties, crookedness, ETC., etc. 1t was very
quiet election, the only issue being the liquor
license. Old Mr.. Wendell Holmes birthday
breakfast at the Brunswick, over at the Hub,
was big event. l wasn't there, press of
business preventing, but friend Of mine by
the name of Perkins, was there and told me
all about it, The tables were loaded with
everything nice: four kinds of pie, broiled
mackerel, pork-steak, fried apples, ham and
eggs, plum Pudding, boiled rice and sauce,
sweet potatoes and grapes. When Mr..
HoughtOn. the chairman, told the guests to
pitch right in and help themselves, and that
everything was paid for and it shouldn't cost
'em cent, there was 4 fearful rush for the
table. Old Mr.. Whittier jammed old Mrs
Stones head up against an iron column in the
dining-room and smashed hair comb, in his
eagerness to secure seat. The gallant old
poet apologized and things quieted down.
MARX Twain" was there but he didn't
have anything to say. He drank
good deal of sweet cider, which gave him
the collie and he was obliged to leave
the banquet and take brisk walk.
Mrs. Julia Ward Sargent, made a few re-
marks touching Grants chances of being our
next President which were answered by wild
hurrahs. After lingering at the table over
half an hour the party left for their respec-
tive homes, after giving three rousing cheers
and tiger for the "bsss' landlord of the
Brunswick.
"A Main street provision dealer contracted
with parties in Vassalboro', Maine, for 10,
of choice poultry for his Thanksgiving trade.
They were shipped as per agreement and ar
rived all safe. In trimming one of these
hoary old birds for a customer, the proprie-
tor of the market ran his knife against some
thing harder than the average bone. Fur
Their inspection disclosed stone arrowhead,
embedded between the aged gobbler's ribs,
under one of his wings The only reasena-
BILE conclusion reached, touching the arrow
head, is, that the venerable fowl was wound

Tested the waters of the old Kennebec, way
back in the gray dawn of our republic.
"A lew nights ago an OLD dear ana dumb
man laid bundle of pie meat down on the
curb-stone, in Central square, while he ar
ranged the contents of market basket. A
spectral, CHASTITY looking dog "came that
way" gobbled up the pie meat and skulked
away into the darkness and into the gloom
In silent rage the old man bumped up his
back like a Nazareth camel and as he spelled
out rapid curses with his fingers, he strobe
with mad yehemence down Prospect street
after the thieving canine. Z. b. G.

The Dignified Executive Depart
ment

The following quotations from Council
lorFogg's paper, the Greenback Chronicle
shadow forth the character of the Su-
preme Judicial Executive Council in re-
gard to dignity of manners, fitness of
speech, and respect for a coordinate branch
of the government. Whoever approaches
body composed of such punctiions OBJ
servers of the decency and propriety due
to exalted Office as Councillor Fogg and
his associates, ought to be very careful
how they conduct or they may make these
high tunctionaries MAD. From the Greeu-
back Chronicle of the 9TH we clip the fol-
lowing choice extracts.
Perhaps Messrs. Baker & Baker are not
aw are however, that if the Judges of the Su-
prene Court had issued a mandamus against
the Governor and Council that body would
have taken no more notice of 1t than a man
damus issued by SEVEN JACKASSES IN
australia. The Supreme Court is a very
august body but it has no more power over
the Governor than the ghost of Solomon.
The Supreme Court headed by Baker Baker
and backed by Blaine might send posse Of
cOnstables to arrest the Governor and Coun-
Gil. Then the Governor might call out the
militia, put Augusta, and the State for that
matter, under martial law, arrest every con-
stable, and the judges too, and this would be
the end OF their mandamus.
Then, when our friend Hamin says he
won't stand it," what will he do? marshal
the political Office holders, buns, post-mas-
tiers and the grave yards, forgetting that the
Governor is backed by the farmers, opera
tives train managers, locomotive firemen,
engineers, brakemen, gravel train workers,
mechanics and ten thousand riid Irishmen
already mad on account of Ireland Oppres-
sion, who fight as pastime-all democrats
and greenbackers. While growing over the
bulldozing operation of the Supreme Court,
and how the Governor and Council 'have
backed down." our republican friends forget
that the Governor has power to convene the
greenback legislature elected last year, and
the legislature has power to impeach every
Judge on the Bench, and that Garcelon is
not the man who would hesitate to do it any
more than jackson hesitated to remove the
old deposits from the U. S. Bank.
The time has come in the history of our
country when politics are reduced to an alb
solute science. The sharpest men enter this
field, and those who CHEAT most succt ed
best.
The last extract is the platform on which
the counting Tout conspiracy is based.

Councillor Fogg says the Council care
no more for the Supreme Court than for
"seren jackasses." This is the same Foge
who characterized the respectable delega-
ton which called at the State House the
other day as mob, whose visit made the
Governor and Council so mad that for that
reason they are going to count out the re-
publican majorityin the Legislature.

tie medicine that can be employed cleans

thev stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action IN
the several assinilative organs of the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafllcd the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects. they are, at the same time. the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperent action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inllamcd.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither caiomei
nor anv deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Miss Bellue heard the words the same
hour. A housemaid, to whom she had
done some little kindness ran off 10 the
rectory to tell her. Miss Bellue gave an
order or two and went straight to her
fathers study.

or will assuredly go to him.
The rector had yielded to her all her
life. He shook his head in sore
perp!exity.
Are you not afraid, dear2"
A peculiar smile lighted her pale,
beautiful countenance.
Not now"
A similar question was almost the first
one put by Mat in a convalescent state.
Were you not afraid, darling2"
Perfect love casteth out fear" she
