Another point made for a correct
count of the Florida Electoral vote.
Tlie lower House of the Florida
Legislature passed an act declaring
the true condition of the vote at the
November election, and awarding
the majority to Tilden Electors.
This is a solemn confirmation by the
sovereign legislative authority, of the
ouly honest count of the vote, that
has yet been had. This is the second
link in the chain of events touching
the Electoral vote in Florida, since
that State passed under an honest
Government. The next will be to
send the real returns, confirmation
by the Legislature, together with all
the facts, to VY ashington, and have
the whole record filed with Mr. Ferry.
Then we shall see whether there is
not some wqy for a State to prevent
a lot of thieves from stealing her
local Government and her Electoral
vote at one sweep. Wheeler, Sher
man & Co. to the contrary notwith
standing, we are of the opinion that
tlie doctrine that fraud and perjury,
if only they are perpetrated in legal
form, are final and conclusive, is not
to be incorporated into our politics.
Nor do we think the monstrous
claim that a State has no power to
cure or correct fraud, of any kiud,
will be allowed to pass unchallenged
by the people of this country. This
is one set of facts Morton & Co. don’t
want looked into by the Joint Con
vention ; least of all do they desire
these records shall be referred to
such a Board of Aibitration as is
provided for in the Electoral Count
bill.. Naturally they, therefore, op
pose that bill, and all others which do
not tarn the whole count over to the
creature of their party in the Senate.

Civilization and hunger are incom
patible. All the virtue and graces
of humanity—certainly of male hu
manity fly before an empty stomach.
It may be possible for a man to be
hungry and amiable at the same time,
but it is not safe for any wife to pre
sume upon so unlikely an occurrence
habitually. Ignorance of this phy
siological truth has been the ruin of
many an otherwise happy household.
And we may set it down from both
observation and experience—promis
ing that our experience in this respect
has been exceptionally happy—that
preprandial discretion is the severest
test of a good wife. Just before
dinner is the worst possible time to
bother a husband with questions or
complaints, or even with efforts to
be *agressively agreeable. Then is
the time above all others when sooial
silence should grace the home, and
make it seem to the tired man the
most delightful aud restful place on
earth. Half an hour of quiet just
then is the best possible preparation
for the sooial enjoyment of the com*
ing meal, for then the nervous tension
and mental strain of business care
and anxiety can be gradually relaxed
and the entire system brought into
conditions for enjoying food and the
amenties of social society. Yet how
frequently does the wife choose that
particular tina» to speak of her trial*
and tronbles, the misconduct of ser
vants and children, the petty require-
ments of the household, or other
things trival or disagreeable, and
then marvel that her husband's tern
per is not so sweet as it ought to be
The offense is worse even than the
introduction of such topics at meal
time.

The True Story of the Duel
“The article professing to give
A Winking Individual.
Why is life like a conundrum. No
body will ever tell.
Where to find eternal spring—in
the circus business.
the truth about the May-Bcnuett
duel, which appeared in the local
columns of yesterday’s Tribune, now
proves to have been derived exclu
sively from the warm partisans of
Mr. Bennett—a fact which ought to
have been stated in the article itself.
Every substantial allegation in it is
denied point blank by the Mays, and
untrnthfulness has never been one of
the vices of the family. We print
this morning a letter from an author
itative source, giving certain lacts
concerning the duel which wo have
no doubt are accurately stated. Let
ters from one cf the seconds in the
duel have also been exhibited to us,
which make the following facts clear:
(1) That, May, as the challenged
party, having a right to a choice of
weapons, chose cavalry sabres; (2)
that Bennett’s friends objected on
the ground that this gave May an
advantage; (3) that May’s friends
yielded their choice and assented to
duelling pistols; (4) that the distance
was twelve paces; (5) that no wit
nesses were present, even the sur
geons remaining at a distance; and
the only persons on or in sight of the
duelling-ground being the two prin
cipals and their two seconds; (6)
that the word was given thus—
‘ Ready, fire, one, two, three, stop’—
the parties not to move their pistols
from the perpendicular until the
word ‘ Fire’ was pronounced, and not
to fire after the word ‘Stop’ was pro
nounced, and the seconds having the
right to shoot down either man who
disobeyed this requirement; (7) that
Bennett and May fired almost simul
taneously at the word ‘One;’ (8)
that neither was touched; (9) that
Bennett’s friends then professed
themselves satisfied ; and (10) that
the parties straightway separated,
the whole affair scarcely having occu
pied ten minutes. These we have
reason to believe are, so far as they
go, the exact facts.”—N. Y. Tribune.
[ From the Keokuk Constitution.]
Sanders is a great winker. Ho
can’t talk to you two minutes withs
out enforcing his point with a drop
of one of his upper eyelids; he , never
takes a letter out of the office with- '
out winking at one of the clerks , he
winks when he duns you, and gives
you a sly one when lie pays a bill.
When he mcets r and greets you cn
the street, it is always with a sig
nificant closing of the left one, and
when ho has a stunning piece of
news to tell you his wink is one of
the greatest import. The world
moved along Btnothly enough with
Sanders until last Friday* Up to
that time he had gone winlnng
and blinking along peacefully enough
and no clouds had obscured his hap
piness; but-a pali is hanging over
Sanders now, and life has no charms
for him. It’s all his wife’s fault, he
says. She had no business sending
him to a millinery store. She want
ed a bow to match one on Jier hat,
and she started Sanders off to .pro
cure it. He entered the store
whistling, and when one of the shop
girls approached and said, ‘‘Good
morning,” he winked and replied
“ Good morning.”
The girl blushed and looked ner-
vious; Sanders displayed the bow,
and said: “ Got anything to match
that?” and winked aga ; n. The girl
vanished to the back room with
flaming cSieetcs, leaving' Sandei4 to "
stare after her in open-mouthed
wonder. In a minute or two the
boss milliner, who had been informed
of his actions appeared. She was
highly indignant, and as she slammed
the door behind her she said, “ Sir ”
“Good morning, madame,” said
Sanders. “ Fine day, ain’t it now,”
and a wink was unconsciously slung
at the lady. She brid’ed up instant-
iy-
“ Sir, the conduct—’’
“ Of that girl 1” interrupted San
ders. “ Oh, that’s all right ; never
mind her—little bashful, eh?”
Another tremendous wink.
“ I canuot permit such conduct,
sir. It is shameful and insulting.”
“ Not at all; not at all,’’ says San
ders, still off the track. “Don’t
say another word: we understand
each other.”
Another portentous wink.
The milliner vanishes, slamming
the back door behind her, and San
ders sinks into a seat ejaculating.
“ Well, I’ll be doggoned 1” But he
bounced up quick when a gentleman
entered, and, calling him “ an old
hippopotamus,’’ proceeded to divest
himself of his coat, and squaring off
at Sanders, cried out; “ Now, then
come on 1”
“Why, why,Jbless me, what does
this mean ?” said Sanders.
“ Oh, yes, you’re a nice one, you
are. What kiod of a place do you
take this for, coming around and in
salting women and girls with your
winks ? Come on l” and he danced
around Sanders.
He got one in on Sanders over the
eye; bis left duke felt of Sanders’
mug, and when he got through with
Sanders that individual was as badly
demoralized as a pig in a whirlwind,
and he never found out what it was
all about until the milliner’s husband,
who had ascertained his habit, called
on Sunday and apologized.' Sahders
shook hands, said it was all right,
and was just about to wink again
when he checked hijuselfand said:
“ Blame it, I’ll swear off from that
habit! and then he turned and wink
ed at the wall to enforce his oath.
