book store; and he, too, talked politics
with ME. and told me that oil elections
were held on Sunday, when the people

After divine service on election Sunday
went to the Croix Blanche for my col
fee, TO pass the time till the voting should
begin, On the church door was posted
printed summons TO the electors, and on
the cafe billiard tables ! found ballots OF
the different parties scattered. Gendarmes
had also distributed them about in the
church pews; they were lnclosed In envei-
opes, which were voted sealed. On table
before the pulpit the ballot boX-a glass
urn-was placed, and beside II sat the
judges OF election, with lists OF the regis
tered voters But In any precinct Of the
canton an elector who could prove that he
had not voted at home might deposit his
ballot in any other. The church bell rang
for the people to assemble, aud the voting
began aud eu.led in perfect quiet But
could not witness an election OF this an

A Pet ALLIGATOR,

AN Englishman, sojourning in Northern
Australia, found, one day, black fellow
at his quarters, with a young alligator in
a sack, which lie was anxious the white
men should buy for pet. The new
chum," as strangers are there called, first
made inquiries into the habits of the rep
tile when demonstrated, and received this
information:
"At first the alligator tries to bite and
lashes with bis tail, but soon becomes
tame and fawns upon hts master Like u
dog; then the trouble begins.
"On hearing his masters voice the rep
tile, to show his pleasure, rubs against
him. The difference between a rub from
an alligator and that from a cross cut cav
Is trifling'
The Englishman didn't buy, much to
the disgust Of the black fellow. Youths
