CURIosITIEs of tho election A Los
Angeles (Cal) citizen agreed Con
wager) to eat four quails day for
thirty days or forfeit $1,000, if the
election in New York resulted contrary
TO his expectations. a prominent
citizen of Pulaski, Tenn, being too i'll
to go to the polls, the judge carried the
ballot-box to him that he might vote.
"A sulky bedstead with small flags,
containing a very fat man. and drawn
by man of slender proportions, went
through the square to Lake View Park
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, says
the Cleveland Leader. The portly man
was John Stofft, who keeps saloon on
Ontario street, and the steed was A. A.
Seller, an employee of the planning mill
of /. Sturtevant & Co. Before the cleo
ton Stofft and Seller bet on their re-
speetive favorite candidates, Foran and
Burnett. Seller lost, and fulfilled the
conditions of the bet. Stoft guided
him with harness reins, and flourished
formidable whip. Deputy Sheriff
Myer was carried to the top of the old
Court House in q derrick bucket at
noon to-day, and slid down on the rope.
He bet Deputy Sheriff Fucker that
Sayer would be elected. Mag
istrate Ladner, of Philadelphia, agreed
to grind hand-organ three hours if
Cleveland was defeated. A large
crowd gathered at one of the fashion
able skating-rinks of Cleveland, Ohio,
the other night to witness the paying
Of an election bet. The wager was be-
tween Assistant Manager Newton and
Supt. Brown, the former agreeing to
wheel the latter six times around the
rink in the event of failure to elect
the plumed knight to the Presidency.
The evidence that Mr.. Newton had lost
being conclusive, the wheelbarrow was
gayly decked in bright colors by Mr..
Newton, and at 9:30 o'clock sharp Mr..
Newton donned the rollers, and. get
ting his massive load into the vehicle
began the voyage, amid the cheers and
laughter of the crowd.

NAPOLEON Ill. and Mexico.

Like many of the Central and South
American republics, Mexico had been
troubled by revolutions and counter
revolutions for number of years. For
several years prior TO the civil war
in the United States bitter conflict
had been carried on by the advanced
and Conservative parties. In 1860 the
Liberals had triumphed, and the Con-
servative leader Miramon had been
compelled to flee from the capital.
Juarez in the year 1861 made q triumphal
entry into the capital, and the Liberals
had endeavored to introduce certain
radical reforms, such as declaring mar
riage civil contract suppressing eel
Ibacy and ecclesiastical tribunal, separ-
ating church and state, and confiscat
ing an immense amount of church
property. There had been during these
troublous times residents of Mexico
who were Spanish, French, and British
subjects. In 1862 the claims of Spain
and Great Britain having been settled
by negotiation, these nations, who had
occupied Vera Cruz in December the
year previous, withdrew, leaving
France there to continue the war.
During 1S63-'64 the French had occu
pied the capital, and then the dream OF
Louis Napoleon was discovered, name
ly, to bring about universal fusion of
the Latin races. Through his machi-
nations the Mexican imperial crown
was offered to the Austrian Archduke
Ferdinand Maximilian. This was in
1863, and it caIne about in this manner !:
A L.. -.
and in July an assembly of notables
was convened with power to decide
upon the future government of Mexico.
On July 10 it was resolved, by $50
votes for and 20 votes against, upon
al hereditary monarchical government,
under a Roman Catholic emperor.
The crown was accepted by Macmillan,
who arrived at the capital June II,
1864. The Liberal leaders were pursued
by the Imperialists and driven from the
country. Juarez was ut the head of
the movement against the monarchy,
and spent many months in gathering
together troops with whom to recapture
Mexico. March 25, 1866, his forces
was followed by others. Meanwhile the
United States had demonstrated, and
finally, early in 1867, the French troops
under Bazaine were withdrawn from
Mexico. This left the unfortunate
Macmillan to his own resources, and
he soon after quilted the capital, pro-
ceeding northward. With about 5000
men he reached Queretaro, where he
was .besieged by Gen. Escobedo, having
an army of 10000. Vera Cruz, Puebla
and Mexico were at the same time in
vested by the Liberal forces. May 10
Macmillan was captured, tired by court
martial. condemned and shot, with
Miramon and Mejia, two of his gener-
ais. on June 10. This ended the inva-
sion of Mexico by foreign forces and
the attempt to found an empire in North
America. Inter Ocean

that change In administration would unfavor-
ably affect their condition. Gov. Cleveland re-
piled: Yes, have been astonished ut the
statement that there was an apprehension ex-
listing among the coiored people that IN some
way their rights now secured to them under the
laws and Constitution of the United States were
in danger from the election u Democratic

are led to suppose the result OF the recent cleo
ton means that they may agein be made slaves.
All this has appeared to me TO be absurd, and
i have been so sure that the slightest in
telligent reflection would disodge such foolish
fears, that i can hardly deem any notice OF
them necessary. But there IL not the slightest
objection to calling the attention Of all who are
in the least uneasy or uncertain upon this sub

a thing. So far as the new administration Is re-
lated to this subject, the whole country can be

tuition and the law will be preserved and pro-
tected. and all the advantages to which they are
entitled by reason of their citizenship will be
secured to them. There need be no fear that

AMONG the ancient Greeks deaf mutes
were looked upon as disgrace to hui
mainly, and under the barbarous laws
of Lycurgus they were exposed to death.
Nor was highly cultured Athens less
cruel than Sparta toward these unfor-
tunate creatures. Deaf mute children
were pitilessly sacrificed without a voice
being heard on their behalf Aristotle
declared congenital deaf mutes to be
incapable of instruction, and this was
the universal opinion of classical an
tiquity. Tho Romans treated the un-
fortunates with the same cruelty as the
Greeks. AS soon as child was found
to be deaf and dumb it was sacrificed to
the Tiber. Only those escaped whom
the waves washed back to the shore, or
whom the natural love of their parents
kept hidden from the eyes of the world.

TOUCHING the three RS in politics,
the New York Tribune remarks "The
hasty and probably inadvertent use of
an old sectarian phrase in an extempore

may possibly yet prove to have had as
grave consequences as one Of the de-
cisive battles of the world. Rum,
Romanism, and Rebellion is thought
by many to have changed 10000 votes

in the history of the race ever before
succeeded in changing the course of

CLOSE votes are nothing new in this
country. AS early as 1924, in the con-
test between Adams and Jackson, the
former carried Maryland by only 100
votes. Four years later that State
voted on these same candidates, and
though there were early $4,000 addi-
tional votes divided between them,
Adams still led by 2,1S1. In 1882,
when Clay and Jackson were the rival
candidates, Delaware gave Clay but
1866 more than Jackson got, and in
Maryland there was an actual differ
ence of only 4 votes, Clay getting
10, leo and Jackson 1856. The vote
in New Jersey that year stood: Clay,
-, 392; Jackson, 1856, a trifling diff
ference of AGA votes. In 1906, when
Harrison and Van Buren, were the pc
titioners of suffrage, there was differ
ence in Connecticut of only 76S votes,
in Louisiana of 207, in Mississippi of
Dol, and in New Jersey of 545. In
1910, when Harrison ran against Van
Buren,, there was q difference in the
vote in Maine of only AL, in Michigan
of 1885, in Pennsylvania Of 1,345, in a
total vote of 287, 097, and in Virginia of
1892. Between Clay and Polk in
1914, there were differences in Louisi-
ana of 70l votes, in New Jersey S23,
and in Tennessee, Folks home, Clay
led him by just 113 votes. In 1913,
between Taylor and Cass, the difference
between votes for the two was, in Ala
bama 9S1, in Delaware 523, in Iowa
1,009, in Mississippi 615, and in Vir-
ginia ,462. The race of Pierce against
Scott, in 1852, was correspondingly
close in some States, the advantage
being in Delaware only 20 votes, in
Louisiana 1892, in North Caroline $50,
and in Tennessee 1880. In the mem
orable and remarkable contest of 1860,
Lincoln had only 657 votes the better
of Douglas in California. In 1864,
Mcclellan got only 612 more votes than
Lincoln in Delaware. In California,
in 1868, Grant received but SOC more
votes than Seymour, and in Oregon but
164 majority. In 1872 again, between
Greeley and Grant, Delaware held her
party votes within 900 of each other.
