Poor Lieut. Derby, who whiIed away
the weary hours there, as well as at all
other posts where he was stationed on
the Pacific Coast, in concocting the rare
drolleries he gave to the world under the
nom de plume of John Phoenix, COM
pletely ruined Yuma's reputation as a
summer resort by the famous joke abont
the soldier stationed there who died and
brought up in the internal regions, which
he found so chilly bv contrast that he
found it necessary to send back for his
blanket. Since that period it is said that
sin-hardened invalids repair to Yuma
to die. with a view to becoming Injured
to. the great trials of the hereafter"
1t was also Lieut.. Derby who, being
left ia charge of one of the San Diego
papers at one tune for few days during
the temporary absence of the editor,
changed the politics OF the sheet, to the
horror and chagrin Of the trusting vic.
tim of misplaced confidence. 1t was
also he who, on being presented to Gen.
Augur and family for the first time, ex-
pressed bis pleasure at the meeting, and
then, looking down earnestly upon the
children, said: "And these, l suppose,
are the little gimlets," for which untime-
ly humor, it is said, the General never
forgave him.

legorica. designs, such as the contest be
tween "Good and Evil" he occasionally
consented to paint portraits. This was
favor, however. which be only accord.

pened to interest him, II may be added
that his, taste rather inclined to the gro.
tesque and eccentric than the beautiful,
One day he received a visit from Q

The new English elections act, which went into effect yesterday, is very stringent in some respects. For instance, no payment may be made for carrying voters to the poll, and lending or borrowing any horse or vehi- cle for the purpose of conveying voters to the poll is illegal. except in the case of per- sons hiring for themselves. Purchasing or hiring bands, torches, flags or ribbons is also forbidden. The fact that voters cannot be carried to the poll at the expense of other people is said to have practically disfran- chised many Manchester vorkinRmen, who would lose their places should they lose an hour in voting.
