Tomorrow one Of the most important
elections ever held in the State will
take place in California. There are.
four tickets in the field for State otfi-
GERS and members of the Legislature
and three for Congressman. In mary
counties there are only two tickets for
local officers, in consequence of the
fusion OF parties. Hugh j. Glenn, of
Colusa, is the nominee of the New Con-
stitution and Democratic parties for
Governor; George c. Perkins, of San
Francisco, is the Republican candidate,
and w. +. White, OF Santa Cruz. the
Worki1gmen's candidate for the same
office. 1t is believed that the contest
between Glenn and Perkins will be
close, and that White will be distanced
in the race, though there is a proba-
bility OF his carrying San .FEancisco by
plurality. 1t is thou INT that Berry,
the Democrats nominee for Congress in
the Third District, will be elected, and
that Ayres, the Workingmen candi-
date for Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict, will beat Leach, Democrat, and
Pacheco, Republican. The chances are
also favorable for the election OF Bar
bour, Vorkingmen's candidate for Con-
gross i'll the First District San Fran
cisco) over Sumner, Democrat, and
Davis, Republican In the Second Dis
trict the fl ght for Congress is between
Page, Republican, and Cluaie, Demo-
crat, although Kearney, the Dictator,
would not permit Williams, the Work
ingmens candidate, to Withdraw, as
that would insure Clunie's election,
result which Kearney, who is supposed
to be secretly working in the interests
OF the corporations, does not desire
Page Is. not popular vita his party, and
Is opposed by honest Republicans, be-
cause he Is corporation candidate
His election depends upon the number
of votes Williams, the. Workiugm ans
candidate, can draw from the Demo
Gratis, and there is a strong probability
that Ciunie will beat him..
In Sap Francisco there. are, three
tickets in the field fer municipal
officers. Tine Workinganen's candidate
fpr, Mayor. the notorious Kallocl, is
confident OF success, and though de-
TASTED by al dscent-thinking men, his
hopes are almost certain to be realized,
unless the opponents combine against
him, and even in, that event it is by no
reans certain that he can be defeated.

SELLING AND STEALING A WID0w. IA Kan
sas widower, who had iced water rather
than warm blood in his veins, was engaged
to a widow, but his affection was so languld
that he was in no haste to marry her. A
friend from neighboring town happening
to pay him visit and to meet the charm
ing widow, fell in love with her and vowed
his willingness to marry her on the spot
The widower offered 10 sell out his rights
privileges and appurtenances for the sum of
$3.50 in hand paid. His susceptible friend
closed the bargain without hesitation. The
money was paid, and formal notice of the
change of title was given TO the widow.
She assented to the basis of exchange,
was married to the second lover, went to
his house and was apparently happy.
Meanwhile, the widower was moping. So
long as the widow was close at hand the de-
velopment of his affection had been slow
enough, but when she left the town and he
could see her never any more, his.lOye for
her grew and swelled and bulg ged out like
an eggplant in Florida His blood became
first tepid, then steaming, and finally it
boiled. He went to The village where his
charmer was cooking gridde-cakes for his
friend. He hung about the house, he made
love to her, he eloped with her. The in
iured husband had lost his purchase money
and his wife, but he did not take it amiss
His affection, once so tropical in its rank
luxurance had withered during the honey
moon. He is willing to call the account
"souare." He does not ask to have the
money returned,

The AfghanR.
[Harper's Magazine.l

nldSuIlHe.I
The Afghans are tall, of large and we'll
knit frames, muscular and hardy Their
strong, heavy features and dark skins give
them fierce expression of countenance; !;
their black eyes--'their lids tinged with
antimony to add force, beauty, and dazzling
brilliancy to them''-are full Of fire, so that
their swift, bold, and flaming glance is very
impressive. They wear their hair shaved
from the forehead to the top Of the head, the
rest falling in black thick masses to the
shoulders. The dress of the people is of
cotton, or of cloth called barek, made of
camel s-bair, and is worn in two long and
very full robes, the material used by the
wealthy classes being Of silk or cashmere;
blue or white turbans and slippers complete
the costume. # q ftf
The garments of the Young chiefs are
often quite gay with gold lace or gold
thread embroidery. This ornmentation
is done by the women in the harens, who
are very skillful with the needle.
Comte de Gobineau, in his "Romances of
the East" thus describes young Afghan
chief, whose name was Moshen, meaning

beautiful: His complexion was richly
tawny, like the skin of fruit ripened by the
sun. His black locks curled in wealth of
ringlets round the compact folds of his blue
tarban striped with redS sweeping and
rather long silken mustache oarsssed the
delicate outline of his upper lip, which was
cleanly cut mobile, proud, and breathing
Of life and passion. His eyes, tender and
deep. flashed readily. He was tall, strong,
slender, broad-shouldered, and straight
flanked. No one would ever dream of ask
ing his race; it was evident that the purest
Afghan blood flowed in his veins"
The beauty Of young Afghans is fIequent-
ly spoken OF by Eastern writer's but it
would seem from the very nature OF things
as though this glowing description must be
overdrawn; just as the handsome, pensive
young Uncus of our ell-beloved West In
dian romancer, James Fenimore Cooper,
can hardly be recognized in the modern
Modoc. Still, abundant testimony claims
dark and hardy beauty for the Afghan in
his prime.
