THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
Why the New Law Was Passed and
How 1t Will Operate.

By the act OF February 5. 1857 the
day for the meeting OF the presidential
electors in the several states is changed
from the first Wednesday OF Deem
Der to the second Monday of January
following their election. The reason
for this change was to give the states
ample time for determining any dis
putes that might arise concerning the
legality of the choice of it, electors, SO
that when the electors meet there may
be no doubt of their right To east the
vote OF the state for candidates for
president and vice-president.
Under the old law the electors of
each state were required 10 appoint a
person TO take charge of the certificate
setting forth their action and deliver
il to he president OF the senate before
the first Wednesday IN January. In
the act of 1887, requiring the electors
10 meet on the second Monday IN
January, congress failed TO change the
date of delivery TO the president OF the
senate, thus leaving the electors in the
anomalous position of being required
to deliver the certificate OF their final
action before that action was taken.
This inconsistency was discovered,
however, and remedied by supple
mentary act passed in the closing
hours of the recent session. which
provides that the certificates and list
OF voters cast on the second Monday
OF January shall be forwarded TO the
president of the senate as soon as pos
sihle thereafter, and empowering the
latter official. in case the certificate
from any state fails 10 tarn up by the
fourth Monday of January, TO send a
special messenger to the district judge,
in whose custody one certificate Is re-
quired to be left. for his copy.
This is to insure certificates from
everv state by the time the tive houses
of congress meet to count and declare
the vote, which is fixed by the fourth
section OF the law of 1887 at p. IN. on
the second Wednesday OF February.
The last three sections OF the law pre-
scribe the rules of procedure during
the count in the presence OF the two
houses and are aimed to compel a
conclusion OF the count before the day
fixed by law for the Inauguration Of
the PRECEDENT.
Fortunately, in the first cosnt of the
electoral vote under the new law no
serious dispute or complication Is
likely to arise. a Gen. Harrison's ma
ioritv OF the electoral vote is so pro-
nounced as 10 leave no ground or ex.
cuse for a contest. The machinery Of
the new law will therefore be put IN
operation under favorable conditions
and without friction. While Il Is not
all that cogid he desired in the matter
OF providing against any possible Ia
ture complications. Ike that arising in
is76. the law Of lss7 i certainly an i'm
proyement on former laws and rules
governing the electoral count and Will,
in all probability, be found adequate
to any necessities that may arse

Isabelle Perez 6tait agee de 81
ans. Dams I'm bal qui cut lieu
a Villamayor lie Is ao1t 1888,
jour de la fete patronale du viii
lage, ellie mangea la Motto dun
gateau, ct depuis lors ellie ne
s'etait plus incorpor6 que DIES
ailments liquides. Tous les
vieux duo village, les connais-
sances les plus intimes d'Isabelle,
| attestent le fait.
Isabelle etait toujours vetue
de noir. Ellie 6tait dun carac-
tere affable, tres patiente, tres
douce, honnete ct charitable.
Av6c celia, tres laborieuse on
ne la surprenait jamais a ne rien
faire. Jusqu'a l'epoque de la
maladie qui Ia emport6e, ellie a
toujours vague aux SONS de son
m6nage. Et pourtant, ellie 6tait
dun temperament tres fable ct
lympathique. En- etc, ellie Sc
rendait chaque jour a r6glise
pour entendre la messe ; mais
Ihiyer yenu, ellie NO sortait qae
tres peu a cause DIES froids qu'el-
lie redoutait beaucoup, ct on ne
la voyait que ST le soleil brillait
avec 6clat.
Pendant sd maladie, don't lie
cours a dur6 yingt-et-un jours,
ellie ma vouluf recevoir le secours
d'aucun medecin ct ne sest SOL
gnee qu'en buvant de peau pure.

Les Anthropophages.

bitent les lies de pOceanie, Pa
m6rique du Sud ct lAfrique.
La determination des causes
qui ont provoqu6 on qtli main

coutumes est du resort DIES
6tudes anthropologiques. La
premiere de ces causes, la plus
fr6quente, semble etre la disette.
iii est certain que par suite DIES
angoisses de la faim nombre de
populations deviennent anthro-
pophages par occasion. Ce-
pendant, suivant le degr6 moral
de ces peoples, la resistance
avant d'arriyer au meurtre pour
assouvir la faim est plus on
moins Tongue. Chez quelques-
LIS, par exemple, cette r6sis-
