Some EIeCtioneerinq Tricks.

When the Berwick freemen resident in
London were going by sea to vote, the
masters who commanded the ships in
which they embarked have been known
to take such electors to Norway, on &C
count of such shippers being bribed to
do so. The freemen of Ipswich appear
also in the same way to have been taken
to Holland. Asthe daughters of freemen
at Bristol conferred the right of voting
on their husbands, trick devised at one
closely contested election in that city
was for the same woman to marry several
men. When the ceremony was COM
pleted and the temporary husband had
duly recorded his vote, the two shook
hands over a grave in chu1chyard and
said: "Now death us do part, % which
was considered a divorce; after which
the woman proceeded to qualify another
husband at another church. At one
place brides were given by mysterious
individual known as the s'Man in the
Moon" who approached at dusk in the
evening, and was at once met with the
question, ''What news from the moon?"
:" I'll lay you five guineas," said cele-
brated canvasser in Fox s contest of 1884,
"and stake the money in your own
hands, that you will not vote for Mr..
Fox" "Done, says the free and indie
pendent, and wins his bet and bride.
Another plan was to buy the voters
canary at price which would have been
far too much for a bird of paradise.
When Sheridan contested Westminster
his opponent brought up his unpaid
creditors to bully him on the hastings.
They censured him for having bought
peas at two guineas and a half per quart
(to make sure of a voter) while he was
neglecting their just claims against him,
and they hooted him accordingly.

A Cabinet Position in Wyoming.
lFrom the Laramie Boomerang

uRaI
Once there was poor boy who came
west to grow up with the country, with
no money or clothes or friends. He got
tired of walking and borrowed horse in
an absent-minded way The neighbors
saw the boy showed signs of genius, and
they met and promoted him. From be-
ing poor unknown lad he rose to cab
met position in few years. On the
top shelf of Laramie cabinet there is
smiling skull with vacant look about
the eyes and bald look on the top.
That is what is left of the poor boy who
came west to grow up with the country.
At first he rose to the top of a barrel.
From this proud eminence he rose rap
idly to the height of about twenty feet,
and now he is on the top shelf of a cab
met, a cabinet position of which any one
might be proud. Of course he would
feel more contented if he had the rest Of
his system with him, but we can't have
everything to please us. This only goes
to show, however, that no boy in our
whole broad land is SO utterly worthless
that he can not, by perseverance and
persistent grand larceny, rise among his
fellowmen with such rapidity that when
he Strengthens out and looks for the top
limb of the tree, the weight of his over
shoes will break him In two.

JAMES. Ell. GREGORY, of Marblehead,
practices the following for excluding
the frost by kerosene: He states that
the temperature in bis vegetable cellar
sometimes went a few degrees below
freezing, making the air Just cold
enough to spoil the contents. He pro-
cured a kerosene stove which had six
large burners and held two gallons Of
oil. Whenever his two thermometers in
the cellar indicated danger he lighted
the kerosene, by which he raised the
temperature ten degrees when necessary,
proving convenient, simple and cheap
way to prevent any loss.
WHEN cattle and sheep stretch them
selves on rising from the ground, you
may know that they are well and hear
ty. When they chew the cud, too, they
are well. When their coats stare, how
ever, and their eyes are dull; if the nose
be dry and scurvy, and especially if
their hide sticks close and hard to the
ribs, then pass your hand with some
thing of pressure along the back. If
they shrink down from your touch, you
may rely upon it they are Ill; Rave either
caught cold, or have internal disorder
coming on, which taken in time, may be
checked by warm nursing and dose of
salts, well seasoned with some cordial
mixture, or with ginger, an addition
which animals ovine and bovine, but
especially the latter, require in a greater
degree than their equine and porcine
compatriots.
In the report of the agricultural uni
versity of the state of New York occurs
the following: "The following are
some of the conclusions arrived at, viz.
that gypsum is of little value to corn
or grass in wet seasons, but of great
value in dry; that superphosphates are
of very unequal values, those. of the best
reputation proving of but little value on
the soil of this farm when applied to
moderately fertile and well-cultivated
land; that failures in farming result not
so much from poor soil as from poor Gull
ture, imperfect preparation of the soil
and stagnant water in the subsoil; that
clover and cattle are the cheapest rem
ovators Of WORKOUT fields; that early
sown crops require the least quantity of
seed and promise the best results; that
heavy land should be plowed moderately
deep in the fall, covered with manure
in the winter, and re-plowed to half the
depth in the spring."
