Election Fact All the waiters at the
Trafalgar voted for Mr. Gladstone, in the hope
that if he eat for Greenwich he would lighten
their labors at the Ministerial dinner by re
ducing it to Three Courses.
Frakk. At the first meeting of the Reform
league after the fatal election day, Mr. Beales
stated that he should have been eleoted if it
had not been for the police, who hindered his
friends. This is not unlikely.
More Martyrs. The Urea of Smithfleld
appear to be lighted again. In the midst of
the festivity which prevailed at the opening of
the Metropolitan Market in that historical
quarter, poor Mr. Horace Jones, the arohitect,
and Messrs. Brown and Robinson, the build
ers, all of whom deserved a better fate, were
toasted.
IlEALTn for Akolo-Tsdiaks. The capabili
ties of the Himalayas, in a sanitary point of
Tiew, are undeniably pointed out by the
Times. No doubt when roads and railways
are extended to the hills, Englishmen and
English troops will find health as much within
their reach in India as in Europe. Still the
recovery of health will be uphill work.
NoTniNO lire Bounce. "It is calculated
that 1,000,000 copies of the Address (of the
Protestant Association to the Electors of the
United Kingdom), have been circulated and
read by between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 peo
ple." Is not this wonderful calculation rather
an abuse of round numbers '! To be sure,
6,000,0(1 may be said to be between five and
ten millions.
"Haussez les Mains, Messieurs 1" Weread
in the papers the announcement that "the
House of Commons and its approaches have
leen thoroughly cleansed." I'unch hopes
this is true particularly the approaches as,
from some stories he has heard of the elections,
he finds a difficulty in believing it. He can
only hope that honorable members will all
show clean hands on meeting in their clean
house.
Another Clerical Caper. The unlucky
parson who w&uis to be set up as an Opposition
prelate to Dr. Colenso, Lord Bishop of Natal,
Las been induoed, it is said, by a recent pro
motion, to believe that he has no chanoe of
to the Cape. A voyage that way improves
certain wine, but we never heard that it would
do any good to small beer. The Natatians will
decline to have anything' to do with him
they are merry colonists, and cut Capers.
Ritualism Unmasked. The Rev. Orby Ship
ley (ritualist parson) advertises an "ascetic"
work on "Preparation for Death," as "trans
lated from the Italian of Alfonso, Bishop of St.
Agatha." The l'all Mall Gazette points out
that this Alfonso is no other than the notori
ous Alfonso Liguori, neo-Catholio Saint, and
casuist of a certain unpleasant stamp. May
we be allowed to observe that the Rev. Orby
Shipley has evidently a Liguorish tooth f
Leviathan. "What admirable reaspners,"
said the meditative Brown, "our dishonest
railway porters and other oflioiala must be."
"Why do you say this f" said the inquisi
tive Jones.
"Have you read 'Hobbes f "
"Yes, but I fail to recall a passage illustra
tive of your proposition."
"He says that Reason is the Subtraction of
Parcels."
How Sold Bread. Mr. Arnold gave his de
cision the other day that "Cottage loaves"
were "Fancy Bread," and were not amenable
to the laws which regulate the sale of the or
dinary "staff of life."
"Oh tell me what is 'Fanoy Bread V "
The public unto Arnold said.
"Should it be weighed like tea or lead ?"
"No," worthy Arnold deci ded.
"If you get cottage loaves instead
Of that on which you should be fed,
And will new-fangled food-paths treal,
Not those your fathers folio w-ed,
You must put up with biDg bled,
If you will fanoy Fancy Bread."
Explanation. A lady of Stepney requests
us to say that she has read a cook-aud-bull
story about a pillar letter-box in that district
suddenly exploding, a gas-pipe being accused
of having leaked into it. She wishes justice
to be done, even to gasmen (though they do
cheat, and she doesn't believe in the meter a
bit), and she thinks it right to say that, hav
ing good cause and occasion to rebuke her
husband very severely, she did so in a letter
which she posted in the box in question.
"What exploded she has no doubt was her
Blowing-Up letter, as her husband has never
apologized.

often do, that a sportiiag nobleman has mort

suggests itself Did be commence his oareer

After thb Davenport Brothers. If we are
to believe Lord Clinton, the Liberals and Con
servatives of Notts agreed that if the candi
dates of the latter were allowed to be elected
without a contest for the southern division,
those of the former were not to be disturbed
in the northern. In- spite of this agreement,
however, the Liberals were opposed and it
xather (erred. ttie right. They tied thejp-
reives in slip Notts, which, of coarse, turned
out a noose-anoe.

LITTLE OLIVER.
Earl Joyce he was a kind old party,
Whom nothing ever oonld put out;
Though eighty-two, he still was hearty,
Excepting as regarded gout.
He had one unexampled daughter,
The Lady Minnie haha Joyce
Fair Miunie-baha "Laughing Water"
So called from her melodious voloe.
By nature planned for lover-oapture;
Her beauty every heart assailed;
The good old nobleman with raptare
Observed how widely she prevailed.
Aloof frem all the lordly flooklng9
Of titled swells who worshipped her,
There stood, in pumps and cotton stockings,
One humble lover Oliver.
He was no peer by Fortune petted,
His name recalled no bygone age ;
He wasne lordling ooroneted
Alas 1 he was a bhnple page 1
With vain appeals be never bored her,
But stood in silent sorrow by
He knew how fondly he adored her,
And knew, alas 1 how hopelessly 1
"Well grounded by a village tutor
In languages alive and past,
He'd say unto himself, "Kuee-suitor,
Oh, do not go beyond your last 1"
But though his name could boast no handle,
He could not every hope resign;
As moths will hover round a candle,
So hovered he about her shrine.
The brilliant candle dazed the moth well,
One day she sang to her papa
The air that Marie sings with Bothwell
In Neidermeyer's opera.
(Therein a stable boy, it's stated,
Devoutly loved a noble dame,
And that the dame reciprocated
His rather injudicious llame.)
And then, before the piano closing
(lie listened coyly at the door),
She sang a song of her composing
I give one verse from half a score:
Ballud.
Why, pretty page, art ever sighing f
Is borrow in thy heartlet lying ?
Come, set a ringing,
Thy laugh entrancing,
And ever singing
And ever dancing.
Ever sirgiDg, Tra ! la 1 la t
Ever dancing, Tra I la I la !
Ever Binging, ever dancing,
Ever singing, Tra I la 1 la I
He skipped for joy like little muttons,
He danced like Esmeralda's kid
(She did not mean a boy in buttons
Although he fancied that she did).
Poor lad I convinced he thus would win her,
He wore out many pairs of soles;
He danced when taking down the dinner
He danced when bringing up the coals.
He dascsi and sang (however laden)
With his incessant "Tra 1 lal la I"
Which much surprised the noble maid
And puzzled even her papa.
He nourished now ms name uu louumi
He even danced at work below,
At length the servants wouldn't stand it,
And Bowles the Butler told him so.
At length on impulse aoting blindly,
His love he laid completely bare;
The gentle Earl received him kindly,
And told the lad to take a chair.
"Ob, sir," the suitor uttered sadly,
"Don'jt give your indignation vent,
I fear you think I'm acting madly,
Perhaps you think me insolent 1"
The kindly Earl repelled the notion,
His noble bosom heaved a sigh,
His lingers trembled with emotion,
A tear stood in his mild blue eye.
For, oh, the scene recalled too plainly
The halt-forgotten time when he,
A boy of nine, had worshipped vainly
A governess of forty-three 1
"My boy," he said, hlihands still wringing,
"Give up this idle fanoy do
The ballad that you heard her singing
Did not, indeed, refer to you.
"I feel for you, poor boy, aoutely,
I would not wish to give you pain,
Your pangs I estimate minutely,
I, too, have loved, and loved in vain.
"But still your humble rank and station
For Minnie surely are not meet"
He paid much more in conversation
Which it were needless to repeat.
Now I'm prepared to bet a guinea,
Were this a mere dramatic case,
The page would have eloped with Minnie,
But, no he only left his place.
The simple Truth is my detective,
With me Sensation can't abide,
The Likely beats the mere Effeotive,
And Nature fci my only gutda.

Something Like "a Snow of Hands." A

Arguing in a Ring. We learn from a para
graph going the rounds at the late Presiden
tial Election at New York
"The Democrats sent round the city, before
sunrise, huge bells mounted on wagons, to
rouse their voters."
We should like to have it explained why
the bells should not also have roused the
voters of the other party. Perhaps the other
side was so wide awake that it did not go to
bed at all, and did not require rousing.
Echo-nomical. The announcement of the
new evening paper oontains a straDge state
ment to the effect that the Echo will be inde
pendent. Fancy an independent echo I Surely,
it xuuBt be the famous Irish echo, which
always responded to the question, "What
will you have?" with a hearty "Potheen,
your honor I" Possibly, this statement that
the Echo will ba independent is an ill omen.
An independent echo is not likely to answer,
of course.

Mac Hundred and Sixty Miles
Of tbe line Weit from Omaha are now completed, and
the work u going on through the. Winter. As the dis
tance between the fl Die tied portion of tUa Union and
Central Pacific Railroads Is now less than 400 miles,
and both Companies are ptmhlng forward the work
wlthgre&t energy, emplojlng over 30,0(0 men, there
can be do doubt that the whole
Grand Lino to the Pacific
Will be Open for BuNlnoss In tbe Niiiuuier
Of 1809.
Tbe regular Government Commissioner have pro
nounced the Union Pacific Railroad to be FIRST
CLA6S In every respect, and tbe special Commission
appointed by tbe President says:
"Taken as a whole. TH E UNION PACIFIC R4IL
ItOAD HAS BEEN WELL CONST UCTKD. AND
THE ;GfcNEKAL ROUTE F JU THIS LINE EX.
CEEDINOLY WELL SELECTED. The energy and
perseverance with which the work has been urged
forward and the raplclty with which It has been
ezecuud are without parallel In h story, and In gran
dear and magnitude ot undertaking It hat never been
equalled." The Report states that aay deficiencies
that exist are only those Incident to all newroads, aud
(hat could not have been avoided without materially
retarding tbe progress of the great work, Such defi
ciencies are supplied by all railroad oompanles after
the completion of the line, when and wherever expe
rience shows them to be necessary. The report con
eludes by saying that "the country has reason to con
gratulate liself that this great werk of national Im
portance Is to rapidly aoproachlng completion under
such favorable auspices." The Compnny now have la
use 137 locomotives and nearly 2uC0 cats of all do. crip,
tlons. A large additional eqalpmebt .Is ordered to be
ready in the bprlng. The grading Is nearly completed,
acd ties distributed lor 120 miles In advance of the
western end of the track. Fully 120 miles of Iron for
new track are now delivered west of the Missouri
River, and 90 miles mc re are en route. The total ex
penditures for construction purposes In advance of
tbe completed portion of the road is not teas than
eight million dollars
BeBldes a donation from the Government of 2,300
acres of landrer mile, the Company Is en' 1 tied to a
subsidy In U, 8. Bonds on Its line as completed and
accepted, at the average rate of abonl (29,009 per mile,
according to the difficulties encountered, for which
tbe Government takes a second lien as security. The
Company have already received (22.158,000 of this
subsidy, of which (1.280,000 was paid Ceo. 6, and
(GJ0.C00 lee. 14.

By Its charter, the Company is permitted to lssne

amount as the Government Bonds, and no rnnre.

nectlcg the Atlantic and Pacific States, takes the
highest rank as a Bare security. The earnings from
tbe way or local business for tbe year ending June 30,
16G8, oa an average of 472 miles, were over FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS, which, after paying all ex
penses, were much more than sufficient to cover all
interest liability upon that dlstanoe. and theeari.

Tbey wonld have Deea greater if the road bad not
been taxed to lis utmost capacity to transport Its own

Issued by tbe Government, Its market price would
not be less than lrom 20 to 'IS per ceut. premium. As
these bonds ara Issued under Government authority
