We endeavored to say the other day
that one or two joints of hard backbone
among the Democrats in Congress would
be the means of generating boom for

two "pints" of backbone will accomplish
the desired object. In this shape the

THE ELECTION .
An Exceedingly Quiet Day aud Peaceful
Time-rhers is but Little Excitement aud
Consequently not a Full Vote Polled

Yesterday the municipal election took
place. There were an assessor and col
lector of taxes, city marshal and an alder
man in each of the four wards to be
elected For the former ofice there were
three candidates, Mr.. Charles J. Green, the
democratic nominee; Mr.. Julius {. Bogel,
independent democrat, and Mr.. William
Jones, independent republican.
There had been in the earlier part of the
canvass an effort to get up citizens ticket,
and 10 that end few democrats, u few
greenbaokers and few republicans had
met at the city hall and nominated can
dldates Tor all the positions .enumer-
ated above, Mr.. Jones being the
choice for assessor and collector over Mr.
Bogel, MIR Arnold for city marshal, and an
alderman for each ward, not one, however,
of whom would accept, except Mr. W. f..
Cottman, OF the Fourth ward This meet
ing appointed also an executive committee,
with power To
FILL VACANCIES.
But for some reason it did not
do so in the case of the nominees for alder
men who had declined. In fact, this citi-
zen's, or peoples, movement seemed to
have suffered sadly from inantion from Its
birth and it died after II feeble effort at the
polls yesterday.
Subsequently the executive committee Of
the Republican party held meeting and
endorsed Mr. Jones for assessor and col
lector, and an effort was made to
concentrate the republican vote on him.
but this seems to have failed,
Ii is not the province of our reporter,
even if he felt so inclined, to attempt an
analysis of the why's and wherefores of the
vote of yesterday. 1t Is no indication of
THE POLITICAL SENTIMENT
that prevails in this city, for no
one can look at the figures
and tell whether the democrat, the repub-
lican or the greenback party is in the ma
jority in Dallas. Ii seems TO be q sugges-
ton that the people are NOT welded to par
ty nominations for municipal offices, but on
the contrary, wear but lightly the yoke of
party fealty when the selections OF city
officers are to be made. Men and not
measures seems to be the preference
of the Dallas voter when
u city officer is to be chosen.
There was very little interest, indeed,
manifested in the
| SCHOOL TAX
question. The proposition, to be voted on
only by property owners, was to levy a tax
of one-iourth of one per cent. on the
taxable property OF the city Tor two
years. The amount realized the
first year was to be devoted to the erection
of school-houses, and that of the second
year to the support of the public schools
1t was urged against the proposition that
the fullest amount that could be expected
to be collected was $4,000 per annum and
that it was an injury to the cause
to appropriate only $4,000 to the purchase
of lots and the construction of school
houses, hence it seems that many who
would have voted for the proposition il the
sum for the erection of school.houses had
been greater did not vote at all.
Below is given the result of the vote cast
by wards:

A Military Execution in Vienna.

The execution recently of soldier of

took place in the barracks Of the Thirty
second regiment, at Vienna, was some
what sinister affair. According to Gus
tom the major Of the regiment and two
captains entoarly on the morning fixed
for the execution TO ask the military
governor of Vienna If he would grant
the condemned man pardon, and on
meeting with refusal they returned to
the barracks and ordered him to bc'led
out to execution. A gibbet was erected
in a corner of the barrack-square. and
the condemned man was led up to it,
and his forage-cap was taken off his
head, by way Of showing that he no
longer belonged TO the army. The exc
cutoner who had been called did his
work so clumsily that the unhappy man
was struggling for nearly ten minutes,
and when lifo was extinct and the body
had been cut down, tho exccutioner re-
marked. Nov that the work Is done,

ceptable." Two soldiers tainted while

A DORIS Sense of Smell.

Have YOU ever observed how really
wonderful is the dogs sense OF smell?
Anacharsis (says his happy owner)
knows me, when am dressed in clothes
he never saw before, by his nose alone.
Let me get myself up in a theatrical
costume and cover my face with mask,
yet he will recognize me by some (tous)
undiscoverable perfume. Moreover, he
will recognize the same odor as clinging
TO my clothes after they have been taken
of. If | shy pebble on the beach, he
can pick out that identical pebble by
scent among a thousand others. Even
the very ground on which have trod-
den retains for him some faint memcnto
of my presence for hours afterward.
The bloodhound can track human
scent week old-which argues q deli
cacy OF nose almost incredible TO human
nostrils. Similarly, too, il you watch
AnacharSis at this moment, you will see
that he runs up and down the path,
shifting away at every stick, stone and
plant as though he got separate and
distinguishable scent out of every one
of them. And SO he must no doubt; for
if even the earth keeps perfume of the
person who has walked over il hours be-

up half dogs picture of life must DO
successive and continuous.
