OF THE VOTE returned last Saturday
Mr.. Lambson, for sheriff, has 1,2S4
plurality over Mr.. Chambers, the nsxt
highest candidate. The districts 10 be
heard from ct this wrising are the Tenth
ward, the Whistle store return Of the
Third ward, the north distriet Of the
First wurd. West Red Lion and Black
bird Hundreds. The Tenth ward polled
at the city election one year ago 761
votes, the Third ward $50 votes and the
north district, First ward, 202, votes,
@aklng q total In the. three places
named OF 1856. Should Mr.. Chambers
ges this whole vote OF course he will be
nominated, but this is impossible, rs
the Ssockley House poll of the Third
ward returns 312 votes cast, thus leew-
ing but 279 votes for 5 the Witsil -
Then. again, the north district OF eAe
First ward is said to Re a strong Lamb.
son DISTRICT and ia held as bnffer for
tho Cham bers vote of the Tenth ward.
Then all that can reasonably be- counted
for Cham bers is his Tenth wnrd and
go In the Third ward, which woald
ftot up 1 ,032, or 222 short OF Bambson's
vote. IL is not likely that Cham bers
will gain anything over Handsome
vote In the two country districts not
heard from, Neither is 1t likely that
Mr.. Chambers received the solid vote
Of the Tenth ward, while the Eleventh
ward, adjoining, which while giving
403 votes for Chambers gave also 90 OPP
posed to BIN. Bat then, the Tenth
ward OF to-day is not the Tenth ward OF
year ago. Sllverbrook has since been
added, and the increase OF population
has been immense since then. These
changes Of course will make q great
difference in the poll of the Tenth
ward. The lsrgely increased vote OF
the Third ward la also supposed to be
In favor OF Cham bers, and affords
good claim for the Tenth ward candi-
date.

THE ELEVENTH WARD shows a re-
markable growth Of population when
the votes cast in it on Saturday, COM
pared with three regular preceding
elections are taken into consideration.
In the Presidents election in 1884
when full vote Is supposed to have
been cast, 1t was 1870 for Gle veland and
and 1913 for Blaine; total 30S votes. At
the city election held in June, 1885,
the Democratic vote was 253, Republic
can vote %; total 346, and at the city
election held only niue days ago the
vote was Democratic 256; Republican
30; total 2S6 Last Saturdays vote,
however, Is exectly 500, when none
bat Democrats were permitted to vote.
This is the browning climax OF the
expanding glories of Democracy, unless
the Tenth ward when it is done voting
bears off the palm.

What's a School?
BY HENRY WRIGHT CLARKE.

A school is not place to laugh and play;
No place to fool our precious time away;
No crib or cradle, in which to take our ease;
No carnival, where all may do just what they
please;
But tits the place for every boy to do the best he
can,
To make himself an honest, upright, cultured
man.
schools no place for girls to shirk, and flirt;
Noplace for throwing scandal-mud and dirt;
No place for sour faces, turned-up noses-dis-
ordered looks;
Ma place to waste life's feeting hours a-daw-
ding over books
But tbs the place for every Celia, Susan, Sadie,
TO make herself loving, lovable, accomplish
ed lady.
Then let us make the school just what it ought to
be-
A pleasant place-where one and all alike
agree
To work with will, with purpose and plan
Te get the most for our toll, and the best that
we cam
Soul-jewels, whose lustre can never tarnish de-
part
Useful knowledge in the head, and loving kind
~ Sness in the heart.

THE LITERAL TRUTH.

When the youngster of the household
slipped into the hall and saw Adolphus
with his arms around Matilda, partaking
of gentle squeeze as good night,
he simply yelled 'Oh!' with big O.
whats the matter, Harry2' inquired
the mother from an adjoining room.
The question was answered by Matil-
da, who said: 'Oh, it's nothing /;
Adolphus merely had his arms around
me-
Il am surprised at such conduct, Ma
tilda. You should have repressed him.
'Oh, l did, MOTHER exclaimed Ma
tilda. Il repressed him two or three
times. .'-PyetzePS Weekly.
