There were some funny happenings On
election day.
one that was extremely ludicrous was
Mussey- mi-erably mean and musiy Mus

empty pOp-bOttles that were in his over

morning.
Mr.. Henry IIudnall. chairman Of the City
Republican Committee. was asked yester-
day how the election had gone. He hesi-
tated minute and then remarked: MA
hone has carried the state By 6js votes"
This statement was bulletined in front Of
the TIMES Office and created considerable
merriment. Mr. Dudnali explained the in
accuracy afterwards by saying that the real
figures were 6jSis.
The election made 30 many people happy
in Richmond that a gentleman who had
read Major Jones' cOurtship and travels

"Gonel"
The word came with a deep groan from
the lips Of a desolate man who stood on
the lonely street and looked about him,
The beams Of the setting sun shone
with a yellow glow on q peaceful village
nesting in q lovely plain. The modern
spires OF the churches glittered in an at
mosphere free from smoke and not a
sound came TO the ear OF the solitary
man whose brain was throbbing and
whose heart was bursting with a sense
OF his strange and unearthly isolation,
"Under a sky OF unsurpassed beauty"
he exclaimed, Gin u land where even
winter in Its most savage mood breathes
mildly, In the favored garden spot Of a
great State, amid fertile valleys and vine
clad hillsides whose vegetation Is already
leaping into life In response to the Crea-
tive energy Of the vernal sunshine, can
1t he possible that ! have lived to see
such a scene as this?"
He paused a moment to kick a wan
dering and lonesome.looking dog that
was shifting about him in abjeCtly in.
QUESTION and apologize manner, and
again his voice rang plaintively out
amid the weird solitude:
"Where are they all? Where are my
friends, my neighbors, my companions
OF my youth2 What mysterious Calam.
ity has swept over this once happy place
as with the bosom of-you here again,
you miserable hound2 Get out!"
Ho drew his hand trembllngly across
his pallid brow and once more his voice
smote the air:
"They are not here! They are gone!
Great snakes! OF course they're gonel
Where are ye, friends OF my childhood2
o familiar faces that filed the horizon
OF hope OF my maturer years and framed
the radiant vision that my ambition
bodied forth, where the Dickens and
Tom Walker do you hang out nowP"
With these words he took a fresh
chew Of tobacco, pulled his hat down
over his eyes, gave one farewell glance
up and down the deserted and voiCeless
street, turned his back on the home OF
his childhood and departed forever.
