CORRESPONDENCE.
C0LERAIN.

A heavy frost prevailed Sabbath night.
1t had no serious effect upon the garden
sass" which is terminating very slowly.
Complaining commenced last week
with favorable weather, and an average
crop will be put in before the close of
this week. Seed potatoes are very scarce,
and there will not be large acreage de-
voted to the Irshman's fav2rite.

age crop of apples. Other fruits are not
promising, except the small varieties,
which promise large yield.

New Orleans lynching was made Tues
day. 1t is long document, reviewing
the Hennesey case, speaks of the exist
ence of the Malta, insists that the case
made by the State against the Italians
was strong one, and that there was

cided that the act of the mob was the
act of the people, and approved by all,
and that it would be unwise to assail it
by indictments. This action is sustain
ed by New Orleans press and people.

REV. IRL R. Hicks, the storm prophet,
in speaking of the weather for May, says:
From the I'd to the 5th is storm period
to be watched. 1t will be wise prudently
to anticipate dangerous storms at this
time. Frosts will occur on nights follow
ing Reactionary storms fall normally
about the 9th, but with new moon on the
Sth, and Mars so near his equinox, we
have indicated the Sth, 9th and 10th as
storm days. The 10Th is the center of
the next regular period, and allowing the
usual days before and after, storms are
sure to pass from west to east within the
limits; cool nights with frosts will follow.
Expect storms about the 2lst and 22d. The
last period for May is 25th 29th. This is
an eventful month.

THE NEW BALL0T LAW.

The main features of the Australian /,
ballot law are the following: The bill
provides for county boards of election,
to consist of four members, appointed
BY the Probate Judge-two from each
of the strongest parties. This board
will appoint four election judges and
two clerks, equally divided politically, at
each precinct The members of the
board receive 81 90 per day for work,
and the clerk not more than 500 per
year. Judges and clerks receive Sl.5O
for each election. The board has the
tickets printed and delivers them
in sealed packages to the presiding
Judge of each precinct. All the tickets
of all parties are printed on one sheet of
paper, side by side, preference in posi-
ton being given to the party casting Il e
largest vote at the preceding election.
At every precinct voting shelves, one
for each IS voters, must be provided
these shelves must be inside guard
rail, and in view of the public. though
so far away that the voter may be abso-
lutely secret in preparing his ballot. The
voter first gives his name and address.
He is given one ticket, and retires to
stall. After those candidates for whom he
wishes to vote he makes a cross mark, "
He may occupy stall five minutes. He
folds his ticket and hands it to an elect
ion officer Ii he cannot read, and so
states, two judges, one from each party,
assist him. If a voter spoils ticket
he may return it and obtain another,
and this may done three times. Besides
the judges and clerks, the only other
persons allowed within the guard rail
during the voting are two challengers
one from each party, designated by the
precinct committeeman. During the
counting one person designated by the
executive committee of each party hav-
ing ticket to be voted on, may be pres
ent and witness and inspect the count
ing. No other persons except judges
and clerks may be present, and the re-
suit will be announced at the close of
the counting. No voting precinct can
contain more than five hundred voters.
This will make a division of this pre-
cinct necessary. Only the names of
regular nominees of conventions, or
of persons nominated on nomination
blanks signed by not less than 500, 100
or so electors of the State, county or
city respectively, will appear on the
tickets. Blank spaces will, however, be
left for the insertion by any elector of
the name of any other candidate for
whom he may wish to vote. The object of
the law is to provide entire secrecy to
the voter, and heavy penalties are at
tached for the violation of any of its
provisions looking to this end. The law
applies to the election of all public Of
ficers except school directors. 1t will
make the machinery of election cumber-
some, and will entail much additional
expense. 1t will insure purer ballot,
and in cities where corruption is most
frequent, it will be of great use. 1t is
aquestion. however, whether or not the
expense of its workings in small centers
will be paid for by its advantages.

Ayers

For several years, in the spring months.
I used to be troubled with drowsy. tired

Dolls and rashes would break out on various
