The seat Of M. Wm. II. Wilmoi,
Republican, elected to Council:from the
Third Ward in this city, has been con.
tested by Mr.. Peter Sanarker, Democrat,
Il is claimed that four votes were rejected
by the Election Board hat ought to have
been received, and these votes would have
elected Palker> The. votes were rejected
by I'D Boaga tssauss 6hsy wdfeaoffersd
by coionfzed voters from The First Ward.
The hearing Of the case is set down for
the 10th of May, at Pennington, before
Judge Vansycke, The petition to the
Court for hearing Of the case was signed

Some Of the names on this petition
strike us with surprise. They must have
signed it under a apprehension. Are
they in favor of allowing colonized voters
from the First Ward to decide the cleo
-tiUns IN other Wards? If SO, Tie people
have mistaken their character If such a
practice isato be ene6nfaged. Ahefsi Isl no
use of holding an election in either the
Second or Third Wards. A few dissolute
and despicable fellows imported from the
First Ward, can annul the votes Of the
more decent people Of these Wards. It's
tosbe hoped, also, That 1t Is not their pur-
pose 70 encourage tho licensing of men to
selliiquor. especially men who have de,
'aantly and publicly sold during tho past
yeasin defiance. ofglaw, Therefore we
should Ike 10 know why these gentlemen
want the present incumbent ousted !?
Some of the signers claim to be Republi-
cans. If so, why do they want a Repub.
liean, honestly elected, ousted and Dem
ocrat TO take his place. Aside from the
moral aspect of the question, this is a
strange kind Of political action,
1t is not strange that some names ap.
pear on this petition. They as naturally
belong on it as buzzards belong where
there is, carrion. But some of these
signers owe it to their good name 10 ex-
plain why their names are coupled with
illegal rum sellers, and rumsellers' victims.

tresscs, when she stood erect, enveloped
her entire form in golden veil and
trailed several inches on the ground.
The longest fibers measured six feet

inches is the mean length for females,
and three feet is considered very re-
markable length. This instance is ex-
cecded, however, by two American
women--one whose hair measures seven

forming his duties. One day he deter
mined to see for himself whether there
were any grounds for the numerous
complaints of the poor food furnished at
convent, where 800 girls are being
educated. Proceeding to the institu-
ton, Just before the usual hour, he
avoided the main entrance, and went
straight to the kitchen. At the door he
met two soldiers carrying huge, steam
ing caldron.
Halt |" he cried; "put that kettle
down"
The soldiers, of course, obeyed.
"Bring me SPOON" added the
Prince. .
The spoon was at once produced, but

stammering remonstrance. ~
"Hold your tonguel" cried the
Prince. "Takc off the lid; insist on
