This Weeks Election.

Elections will be held Tuesday
3rd. in eleven States, viz, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland,
Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi,
New York, Pennsylvania, Nebras-
ka and Colorado. In Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Maryland, Ohio, Ken
lucky, Iowa and Mississippi full
State tickets are to be voted for; in
the other States judges or minor
State officers. In New York the
State election is for a judge of the
Court of Appeals. In that State
there obtains a most praisewOrthy
custom under which n party often
endorses the candidates of the other
for a judicial office, the candidate
being a fair-minded man, capable
and blameless, and this year the Re
publicans endorsed the Democratic
candidate. In New York and Mis-
sissippi there are no contests, and
of the other States the democrats
have little hope, except of Maryland
and Kentucky, though they may win
in Colorado, where there is a
straight fight. In Nebraska there
is fusion between the Democrats and
Populists, and it should not make
N difference to Democrats else
where how that election goes. The
most interesting contest of all those
that will be waged next Tuesday is
that over the mayoralty of Greater
New York, and last night it looked
like a mighty close fight. The bet
ting, which at first favored McClel-
Ian, Democrat, afterwards became
even; then swung to the side of Low,
Republican; then ran even again,
then favored Mcclellan once more,
and the last bets of which there was
any account-those of Monday
gave odds on Low. 1t appears at
this time to be anybody's fight

A WORD IN SEASON.

"Whsn the Frost is on the Punkin."
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble
of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' of the guineys, and
the cluckin' of the hens,
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as he
tiptoes on the fence;
Oh, it's then's the time a teller is 4
feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from
a night of peaceful rest,
As he leaves the house, bare-headed,
and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
They's something kindo' harty-like
about the atmosphere
When the heat of summers over and
the GOBLIN fall is here
Of course we miss the flowers, and
and the blossoms on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin'
birds and buzzin' of the bees;
But the air is appetizin', and the
landscape through the haze
Of a crisp and sunny morning of the
airly autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the
colorin' to mock
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
The husky, rusty russell of the tos-
sells of the corn,
And the ruspin' of the tangled leaves.
as golden as the morn;
The stubble In the furries-kindo'
lonesome-like, but still
A-preachin' sermons to us of the
barns they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, anC
the reaper in the shed;
The bosses in their stalls below-the
clover overhead
Oh, it sets my heart a-clickin' like
the tickin' of a clock,
When the frost is on the punki1
and the folders in the shock!
Then your apples all is gathered, anC
the ones a Teller keeps
Is poured around the cellar floor il
red and yeller heaps;
And your cider-makin's over, anc
your wimmern-folks is through
With their mince and apple butter
and their souse and sausage, too
I don't know how to tell it-but e
SIGH a thing could be
AS the angels wantin' boardin', an,
they'd call around on me
I'd want to 'commondate email tn
whOle-indurin' flock,
When the frost is on the punkin an
the folders in the shock!
