The Zig racket is the name of a
swindle practiced on the northern
trains. The operator. who is generally
the news agent, selects his victim
among the passenger and shows him
several boxes of figs, into one OF which
he openly puts a two dollar bill. Plac-
ing the boxes behind him and mixing
them thoroughly, he again shows them
to the unwary and proposes to let him
take his choice fora dollar. Sticking
from one of the boxes the sharp eye of
the unwary has caught a glimpse of the
bill, and is only too glad to hand over
his dollar and take the box, in which
he, Of course, discovers the corner of a
paper ten-cent piece.

An Apes Mimicry.

The following is the story of a Bar
barry ape: Father Casaubon, a famous
preacher, brought up the animal in
question, which having become attached
to him, wished to follow him wherever
he went. One day when Casaubon was
going to church the ape, not being
made secure, followed his master to
the place of worship, and being a good
climber silently mounted the sounding
board and lay there quiet and concealed
until the sermon was in course of de-
livery. 1t then advanced to the edge Of
its perch to see what was going on be-
meath it and to watch the actions of the
orator. These were no sooner observed
by the able mimic than it began to per-
form also, and its limitations of the
preacher were so perfectly grotesque
that the whole congregation was put i'll
a state of great visibility such us could
not BE depressed. The good father Was
alike shocked and indignant at the ill
timed levity of his audience, and began
to administer some severe reproofs.
But seeing all his efforts failing he
launched forth into violent action, ac-
companied by loud vociferations. His
frequent gestures the ape did not fail to
take up Immediately with no less ami
nation than that which inspired the
master. And at this apparent compe-
tition of the two individuals the peopl
burst into roars of laughter, and when
the animal was pointed out to the pas
tor, though highly exasperated, it is
said he could hardly command his own
countenance while he gave directions to
have the ape removed.

How the Federal Election Law Operates.

baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Committee on
Expenditures In the Department of Justice
have prepared and submitted an able report
on the subject Of the Federal election laws.
the repeal OF which is the bone OF contention
on the Legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. The committee start with
the strong point that IL the power exists to
the extent claimed and recognized in these
sections Of the Revised Statutes, Congress, al
though regulating in name congressional
elections In fact interfere with, regulate and
control the elections In States without even
the color OF authority In law, as the congress
Sional elections In most OF the States happen
upon the same day as the State and local
elections. The conflict Of State and Federal
officers at the election poll each acting under
q distinct and independent jurisdiction, will
always pc Earring, ever present, breeding dis
cord and acrimony. The committee declare
that all the facts go to prove that the evils
resulting from the law greatly overbalance
the good; that since its enactment the COM
plant OF frauds and intimidation has been
much greater than before, and they wisely
aver that the great power lodged in the hands
OF the Federal election officers Is too much to
De lodged In the hands of any partisan. The
committee append a statement OF the amount
paid to the deputy marshals, supervisors and
commissioners OF election in 1876 and In 1878.
In 1876 me total amount was S275 296, Of
which $11 1882 was paid In MARYLAND about
$4,000 in New York, and s14.283 in Louisi-
ana. La 1873 the amount so far reported, with
several districts to hear FROM is S2O2 2g1 Of
which S7746 was paid in Maryland, SS9i3 in
Louisiana, and over $4,000 in New York,
with two OF the districts OF that State not re-
ported. Inc figures show, as has been stated,
That the great bulk of the money expended
goes to large Democratic localities, more
than one-h half OF the amount being expended
In the effort to cut down the large Democratic
majority In the city OF New York.
