master Ever Elected by Vote.


master Ever Elected by Vote.
At the caucus last Saturday, called by
authority of Congressman Grout, 1876 bal
lots were cast on the first vote, N NJ.
Batchelder receiving SO and Amasa Grout
So. One of Mr.. Batchelder's votes was a
written instead of printed ballot, such as
the committee had prepared. According to
that clause in the circular letter of direc-
tions relating to uniform ballots, the writ
ten vote was thrown out. The clause is as
follows: 1.-THE caucus committee shall pre-
pare at the expense of each candidate the
number of ballots desired, and on the first
ballot the ballots for all the candidates
shall be of uniform size and of the same
color, but after the first ballot there shall
be no limitation as to size and color of the
ballots used"
On the second vote Grout received GO
votes and Batchelder SO. The third vote
elected Grout on 70 ballots. Carrie Lowe
was the other candidate. Her friends did not
expect her to lead off with large vote, be-
cause of the strong feeling among people
outside of the village who prefer to have the
post-office in one of the stores or where they
can be served at all hours of the day. II
was thought by some OF Miss loves sup.
porters that the voting contest might be
longer and that In case of failure to elect
one of the merchants, the choice might fall
on her. Her business efficiency is reckoned
as one of excellent order, and she was well
worthy of the office in many ways.
Changes are contemplated in the store of
Edwards IL Grout which will give a special
room for the post-office and dry goods at
the north end of the store, making an en-
trance for the post office more retired than
the present store entrance.

THE ARABIAN HORSE

"He, who hath no peer, was born
Here, upon red March morn;
But his famous fathers dead
Were Arabs all, and Arab-bred,
And the last of that great line
Trod like one of a race divine
And yet,-he was but friend to one,
Who fed him at the set of sun
BY some lone fountain fringed with green;
With him, a rowing Bedouin,
He lived (none else would he obey
Through all the hot Arabian day.,
And died untamed upon the sands
Where Balkh amidst the desert stands '

the Secretary of the Navy directing that hereafter
all members Of the Board Of Inspection and Sur

gossip among naval officers. Heretofore members

Secretary Herbert has rot made public any eX-
PLANTATION Of his purpose in Issuing the order, but
officers on duty at the Navy Department who
usually know why new directions are promulgated
advance several reasons. one Of the reasons given
is that the Secretary recently became much an
moved oyer the fact that there was some delay on
the part of the Inspection Board in making re-
port upon the efficiency Of the Massachusetts The
Board visited the vessel and carefully examined
her According 10 the story told to-day The re-

the Secretary it is said and induced him 70 issue
directions providing that all members OF the Board
