CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The election in this
city and county to-day was for one Judge
o. the superior court and FIVE county oom-
missioners. Little interest was
taKen, and light vsie
polled. The comptroller returns from the
city at this hour and the county vote, in
dicate divided result. The probabilities
are that Jameson, republican for Judge;
will BIS elected by a narrow majority The
democrats elect three county commission
ers. the republicans one, and one in doubt.
There were no special issues
at stake and the result seems to have
turned on personal popularity.
The election of the entire democratic
ticket, except one county commissioner,
Is conceded,

laid his watch on the great anvil-plate
The hammer rose up to its full height,

Chronic Honesty.

of coffee to the store of white neighbor

his scales to cheat poor cullud folks what

An Unexpected Reply.

Even if one is fool, it is mark of
wisdom to know it. The honest Irish
man in this case did not have very high
opinion of himself, but he could not help
betraying the mother-wit of his nation
When Bishop Whitaker was in Candle
loria, Nevada, he took stroll in the out
skirts of the camp with party of ladies
and gentlemen. A man was seen labori-
ously turning a windlass which hoisted
from a shaft bucket filled with rock.
The only thing remarkable about the man
at the windlass was his hat, the crown of
which was cut clean off, allowing the hot
sun to pour down upon perfectly bald
head, some waggish friends having recon-
mended this arrangement as sure to re-
produce crop of hair.
The Bishop and his party stood watch
ing the man toiling and granting at his
heavy labor for several minutes, and then
the kind-hearted clergyman spoke up with
concern, and said -
ssMy friend, why don't you cover up
your head? The hot sun will affect your
brain
aBrain, is it?" cried the man, as he
gave the windlass another heavily -creaking
revolution, ssBe jabers, an if / had any
brains, dye think I'd be here pullin' up
this bucket?"
The Bishop and his party hastily retired.
