English Election Manners.
New York Tribune.

NOW lOTk lIluuilc,
American candidates occasionally
have hard time of il in u few quarters
in which the laws are for while silent,
but, NJ n general rule, tho man who
with Az aspires to the suffrage Of his
fellow citizens runs no risk OF having
his head broken or his clothes torn from
him. In enlightened England it seems
to bo otherwise, and especilly so in
Scotland and Ireland.
During the lnte canvass there we. e
disturbances mt Newcastle, Chester and
Derby, but these were but mild differ
ences OF opinion compared with the
violences ut Wick Burghs, for instance,
where Mr.. Fender was in danger of be-
ing drowned by the Kirkwallers, who,
afterltaking his horse from his carriage,
II common compliment, tried to run the
vehicle, with the candidate in it, into
the sea. Ii the carriage had not stuck,
the aspirant for d seat in the House of
Commons might have been drowned.
| When it did stick, these free and indie
pendent Electors smashed the windows
and Mr.. Pender's hat. Mr.. Fender
made pathetic speech out of the car
riage, begging that he might not be
murdered This so affected the Kirk
walters that they were ready to do
anything for him except vote for him,
which they seem To have resolutely
refused to do. Mr. parnelfs suflerings
ut Enniscorthy have been heretofore
mentioned. Gallant Wexford had
changed it's mind altogether about Mr.
Parnell He was not u candidate there,
but he had carried down his men, and
these men the electors refused TO accept
They did more. They disabled the hat
Of MIR. Parnell. They caught him in
an insulting mannei by the legs. They
tore his neither garments. If there had
not been Rev. Joseph Murphy,
who entreated the crowd To be leni
ent, there il no knowing what might
have happened to Mr.. Parnell. In
fact, breaches Of the peace seem to be
an inevitable concomitant OF British
elections.
We sometimes have affairs OF the
sort in this country, though not often,
and then all the ready men Of the Brit
ish newspapers press write uncompli.

elections are conducted in quite rs fair
and orderly way ID America as i'll

A bridegroom Changes His Mind.
London World


One Of the most sensational actions
for breach of promise of marriage that
ever startled society will shortly come
before the courts. The defendant is a
young guardsmar, the head of a rich
county family, who after two years
engagement, allowed the preparations
for his marriage to go so far that, be-
sides insisting upon the selection of his
fiances wedding dress, he ordered the
wedding cards, purchased the ring and
trunks with his own initials on those
of the LADY, arranged with the coach
maker for the alteration of the lady 5
monogram to his own on her two Car
riages, invited a country vicar to come
to London to marry him, ard last, not
least, read over the settlements to his
afiianced wife the night before he left
town TO visit his family, only four days
before the intended ceremony at st.
Georges, Hanover square. Since the
night ID question the lady has never
set her eyes on the man who signed
himself. "your loving husband" for
months previously; and III addition TO
long correspondence that will be
made public, the exposure of a family
under-cuirent, which has supposed to
have influenced the bridegroom-elect
in his heartless conduct, will not re-
dound to the credit of all concerned in
the Accomplishment OF their object.

How Married Woman Goes to Sleep

PittsDurg Leader.
There is an article going the rounds
entitled Chow Girls go Sleep" The
manner in which they go to sleep, ac-
cording to the article, can't hold can
die to the way married woman goes
to sleep. Instead of thinking what she
should have attended to before going
to bed, she thinks Of it afterward.
While she is revolving these matters in
her mind, and while snugly tucked II p
in bed, the old man is scratching
his legs in front of the fire, and wond-
dering how he will pay his next
months rent. Suddenly she says:
James, did you lock the door,"
(which door !" says James.
"The cellar door," says she.
mo-" says James.
"Well, you better go down and lock
it, for heard some person IN the back
yard last night"
Accordingly, James paddles down
stairs and locks the door. About the
time James returns and is going to get
into bed, she remarks:
"Did you shut the stair door 2"
"No," says James.
wen, III IL Is not smut, the cat Will
get up into the bedroom"
Let her come up them" says James
ill.naturedly.
"My goodness, no." returns his wife.
"She'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs
again, and steps on a tack and closes
the stair door, and curses the cat and re-
turns to the bedroom. Just as he be-
gins to climb into his couch his wife
observes:
81 forgot to bring up some water.
Suppose you bring some up in the big
TIM"
And 80 James with muttered curse
goes down into the dark kitchen and
falls over chair, and rasps all the tin
wars Off the wall in search of the "big"
tin, and then jerks the stair door open
and howls.
"Where the deuce are the matches {"
She gives him minute directions
where to find the maches, and adds
that she would rather go Ind get the
water herself than have the neighbors
raised about it. After which James
finds the matches, procures the water,
comes up stairs and plunges into bed
Presently his wife says
James, let's have an understanding
about money matters. Now, next
week I've got to pay"
II don't know what you'll have to
pay, and dot care" shouts James, as
he lurches around and jams his face
against the wall; "all | want is Sleep"
That's all very we'll for you," snaps
his wife, as she pulls the covers vicious
ly; "you never think of the worry and
trouble have. And there's Araminta,
who | believe is taking the measles"
"Let her take 'em" says James,
Hereupon she begins to cry softly,
but upon the time James is falling into
u gentle doze she punches him in the
ribs with her elbow and says:
Didn't you hear that scandal about
Mrs. Jones'"
"What Jones?" says James, sleepily.
"Why, Mrs. Jones"
"Where?' inquired James
~ declare" says his wife, "you are
getting more stupid every day. You
know Mrs. Jones That lives at No. 81 I

Here she pauses and listens. James
is snoring in profound slumber. With
a snort of rage she pulls all the cover
off him, wraps herself up in them and
lays awake until a. m, thinking how
badly used she is.
And that is the way married women
goes to sleep.
