THIRD EDITION.
The Election In San Francisco.

Sac Francisco, March 30.-An ana
lysis Of the vote cast up to noon shows
that while strong Citisen wards are
voting up TO within ons.eighth to one
sixth Of their vote at the same hour last
September, the Workingmsn's pre-
oincts are from one quarter to one
third behind. At 1890 the total vote
cast vas Is, S45, or about 5000 short Of
the vote at the same hour last election.
At this rate less than IS, 900 votes will
BE- polled.
Against the probability Of o light
vote favoriug the Working Men Is the
fact that owing to the difference in the
tint Of the paper, the character Of the
ballots can be determined a. they lie
in the boxes, and those who have been
on watch claim that the Citizens Union
ticket is ahead, even In soms strong
Workingmen's precincts. There is not
much talk OF scratching, though more
or less is being done. Thus far the
election has besn the quietest ever held
In this city.
The Workingmen have aled q pro-
test against the counting Of the ballots
Of the Citizens Union on account Of
the difference intins claiming that their
own ballots were printed on legal paper
obtained from the Secretary Of State,
while the ballots Of their opponents are
mot In conformity with law, different in
color, weight andDtexture Of paper.
SAX FRANCISCO, March 80, evening
The total vote Of the city, except two
small outside precincts, is 30,667.-
Since noon the Workingmen's wards
have pulled up somewhat, and at the
CLOSE It is found that nearly all the
wards are about uniformly Is Per cent.
below the vote Of last September.

They intended to bring the girl from
England as soon as they could save
money enough to defray the expense,
but when the sum had been saved Mrs.
Crsese became sick and disd--doctor' 3
bills and funeral expenses ate up the
fund. The son and father had sccumul-
ated second fund for the same pur-
pose, when.the son died, and the money
was again diverted. The father heroic
ally set himself at work to lay by
another fund, and had again secured
within few dollars Of the amount,
when on Thursday last he died. He
was buried On Saturday.

mistake about ito write acceptably
for the press requires a natural apii'
tude, Some fond parents educate
their sons with the special view OF
making journalists of them, but it is
rare that we hear OF these young men
after few years. Meanwhile, some
youth born among the hills, having
nothing more than common.school
education, and the knowledge scraped
up in a country printing office, will
advance to the front rank of his pro-
fession. lie has the journalistic knack,
and forces recognition because he has
it. lie gets into a good position, not
because he has wealthy parents to in
auence the proprietors of leading
newspapers, but because he knows
what TO write and how to write it.
His articles 60 in because they sup
ply a demand, while perhaps the
elaborate essays Of man educated on
two continents are cast into the waste
basket. The good writer is born, moi

The FARMERS LIFE. There is a
quiet about the life of a farmer, and
a hope of serene old age, that no
other business can promise. A pro-
fessional man is doomed sometimes TO
feel that his powers are waning. He
is doomed to see younger and strong
err men pass him in the race Of life.
He looks forward to an old age of in
tellectual mediocrity. lie will be last
where once he was first. But the
farmer goes, as it were, into partner.
ship with trees and flowers; he breathes
the sweet air of the fields. There is
no constant and frightful strain upon
his mind. His nights are filled with
sleep and rest. He watches his ilocks
and herds as they feed upon the green
and billy slopes. lie hears the pleas
ant rain fall upon the waving corn,
and the trees he planted in youth rus
tie about him as he plants Others for
the children yet to be.

RATHER SLIM.-At a matinee a
long, gaunt individual, with legs as
thin as whitfield matches, came into
the theatre and stood in front of some
gentlemen, shutting out their view OF
the stage. One of the party said; If
you guess what that is before us, I'll
put label on it," "lt's plumb-line
somebody has dropped down from the
family circle" remarked another, and
the THU man began to move aside.
"Next to clearinghouse soup its the
thinest thing I've ever SEEM" said a
third party, and the slim man got
uneasy and sat down.
