Ang 8.1876 tf GEHER1L TIKEI AGENCY, RAILROAD TICKETS, For ball points in all routes, and to all principal UNITED STATES. 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. , [Scientific American.] 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.
