Little Interest and Small Vote.

Mr.. Roddenbery's vote over the
district followed closely that of two
years ago, although in nearly every
county it was little smaller, and the
official returns show it to be nearly
1000 short of the 8,47S polled for
him in the contest. against Judge
Griggs.
There was very little interest in
the election and small vote was
polled everywhere. The vote was
light even in the respective home

cent. of the V tiers of the district
voted.

DESTROYED BY CHEMICALS.
Weapons Used by Assassins Against
Royal Personages.

Very few people are aware that as
soon as the trial of an assassin Of
royalty is concluded the weapon with
which he accomplished his crime is
carefully destroyed so that no trace Of
ii remains.
The reason Of this is twofold-first
of all. the possibility exists that at
some time or other the weapons used
in royal tragedy may be exhibited to
the public in some museum or show.
and second. there is strange super
stitious dread existing among reigning
houses that the existence Of the inno-
cent but unhallowed weapons by
which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity is fraught with peril to their
descendants.
The method of destroying these
weapons is curious one. The wooden
portions. such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles of poinards. are burned,
and the metal portions are eaten away
in bath of nitric acid.
This has been the custom ever since
the attempted assassination of Queen
Isabella of Spain in 1852 by Merius.
Prior to that date the metal work of
away. but the blade of the dagger with
which Merius sought to execute his
dastardly crime proved to be Of sucn
exquisite temper and hardness that 1t
resisted both file and grindstone.
This became known 10 the populace,
and the super>eitious Spaniards believ-
ed that Merius had invested his weap-
on with magical qualities. To divest
them of this absurd belief the authori-
ties had the weapon destroyed by i'm
mersing it in chemicals. a rule that
has been followed ever since.

Hiuh Class Suicide.

In China suicide has been a fine art
for several centuries. If mandarin Is
guilty of misconduct he is requested
to put himself out of the land of the
living. There is a distinction, too. in
the manner in which the oriental may
die. If he is of exalted rank and emit
tied to wear the peacock feather he is
privileged to choke himself to death
with gold leaf. This is regarded as a
distinguished manner of ending life.
If the mandarin is only of the rank
that is entitled to wear the red button
he must be content with strangling
himself with a silken cord. Such are
the distinctions of caste.
