Washington Star.
The young lady who has charge of
the Garfield souvenirs, Miss Gypsy
Gilbert, finds that the life Of a hand
some woman is not a happy one. In
conversation with Q Star reporter, this
morning, che told part of her troubles.
She said notices OF her being at the
fair had appeared in yesterdays pa
pers, and the fact Of her having been
ct the Seventh Regiment Fair in New
York, and having had her picture in
the New York Graphic as q typical
face Of American female beauty, with
other illusions OF a complimentary
nature. had attracted general atten-
Fon. The consequence was that last
evening q policeman had TO be station.

the beauty, but this was vulgar

"Do you think she is the prettiest

Mr.. Sarony shrugged his shoulders,
ducked his head and skipped across
the room as though he had been fred

vicinity OF the reporter, he threw
back his coat, erammed both hands
into his trousers pockets, and replied,
with an audible grin: "0h, no. (But.

Returns that should Be Forth.
Coming.

The tardiness OF election returns In
this State has provoked considerable
comment. The full eficial returns
have never been received at the Office
Of the Secretary Of State at Nashville.
There is great ~cArelessness some
where. Il happens, Fortunately, that
the general results are known; yet,
as to that matter, we were satisfied
almost as we'll before the election.
This matter should be stirred up. II
the contest had been a close one, the
people would yet be in doubt, a month
after the election, as to the political
complexion of the next Legislature
and Governor. Only Eve Of the Con
OCCASIONAL Districts have been com
plsted, aud these were copied in the
LEDGER from a Nashville paper,
There are seven counties to hear from
officially in the Gubernatorial race.
The Nashville American says
Many curious returns como in to
the Secretary OF State. The Sheriff
Of a county in the First Congressional
district certified that ct an election
held in his county Pettibone was duly
elected to Congress. Two Sheriffs
senti in the poll books and tally sheets,
leaving the clerk in the Office Of the
Secretary Of State to figure it all out,
while two others certified to the vote
by districts without giving the total
vote Of the county. One of the
Sheriffs in an upper county wrote the
words, 20, my bate" on the back OF
his returns. The Sheriff Of William
son county made a mistake in sending
the returns, giving RUSSELL ll6. After
ward he discovered his error and sent
the corrected returns, giving RUSSELL
IS, and making very happy those who
wagered that RUSSELL would not get
100 votes in the county.

Grated in Saline, and is managed by
the sons Of j. W. George, who is now
we'll advanced in years. The past
year a crop of 900 acres of wheat was
harvested, averaging twenty bushels
per acre; and a crop Of 450 acres in
corn, averaging ten barrels. There
are about 1000 head Of stock generally
on the farm feeding aud grazing.
Sometimes more and sometimes less,
as the Georges are constantly engaged
in the trading Of cattle, mules and
sheep.
They have had during q year as
many as 1000 head Of Colorado cattle
grazing on their place. They have
cOrn.fed as many as 800 head Of cattle
and 500 head of hogs for market at
one time. This besides the stock
belonging regularly to the firm.
There are at this thine $50 head Of
cattle Of various kinds and ages grazing
on their farm, aud $40 head of hogs
being fed for the market. besides their
reserve OF 60 horses, mules, etc, which
belong properly TO the use of the farm.

dealt largely in Colorado and Missouri,
and are familiar with the best strains

The st. Andrews reunion Of last
week, though only passingly noticed
in our columns the next day, owing to
pressure of news matter that had pref.
erence on the start, and the demands
of advertisers, was one Of the most
delightful gatherings ever held under
the auspices Of the society since it
was organized, in April, 1866. The
6rst St. Andrews banquet, if we mis-
take not, given after the war,
was at Gilbert's Delmonico, corner &c
Madison and Third streets, November
30, 1866. The affair was largely at
tended, the guests were generously
served, and the tOasts proposed, as
well as the hot scotch brought forth
many, eloquent and patriotic speeches.
The organization was perfected the
following spring, and has been in
existence ever since, and never failed
to observe the natal day Of old SEQ
tia's patron saint with becoming GER
emOny and joyous expression.
Very few of the original members
are alive, or, at least, living in the
city. We remember only three,
David P. Goldsmith, Andrew
j. Murray and Hans Lemon.
OF those who belonged to, or
we're identified with the society. the
following are dead: David NJ. Philip,
Duncan MscLesn, John Ainslie,
John Forbes, Harry Tomlinson, NJ.
D. L. Stewart Jack Campbell, and a
number Of others whose names are not
recalled at the instant. But the little
band has always stood together with
the tsnacity peculiar to Scotchmen,
even when the Shoulder to Shoulder
