Election Ketnrn*
We glvo tills morning all tho returns re
ceived from the district precincts that
have reached us. Muscogee county Is re
ported to full, but Marlon and Chattahoo
chee counties are only partially heard
from, in a reliable shape. Marlon, taking
the Buena Vista vote as a criterion hy
which to judge, is pretty largely opposed
to a Convention, while Chattahoochee will
probably give a respectable majority for
Convention.
There Is no uncertainty about the elec
tion of four of the six candidates, Messrs
Ingram, Little, Wilson and Howell, but it
Is not so clear whether Mr. Peabody or
Mr. Fontaine Is elected for the fifth place,
as the returns rocelved make the contest
between them pretty close—Mr. Fontaine
leading 10 votes, but still leaving strong
precincts to bear from, wiiich will per
haps decide it, when heard from, the oth
er way. Some of Mr. Peabody’s friends
think he will be elected by 150 to 200 ma
jority, while Mr. Fontaine’s friends are
hopeful of his increasing his present ma
jority.

THE HOY IN' THE ALLEY.
Yesterday afternoon a Brush street
housewife lugged a bedstead iuio the
backyard, leaned it against the fence,
rolled up her sleeves, and Went back
and brought out a teakettle full of
boiling water. Her sole object was
to wash off the dust und cobwebs
which settle on every bedstead in the
land, and she needn’t have looked all
around in ti sly and stealthy way be
fore proceeding to business.
There was a boy in the alley. He
was hunting for [dander in a [die ot
rubbish, and, hearing the woman in
the yard, he looked through the tence
and began to chuckle. He knew that
her object was to put tiie bedstead m
tidy trim for the summer campaign.
But yet. he maliciously called out:
’’Have the water up to the biling
[lint if you want to knock ’em !”
Tbe woman put the tea-kettle down
in a hurry and looked up at the win
dows on either side. No oue wis
visible, but presently the boy in the
alley remarked:
’’Don’t let the water git, cold!”
She located him that time, but she
disdained to heed his remarks. Lift
ing up the kettle again, stie began
giving the cobwebs another soaking.
“Now follow up with kerosene!”
hoarsely exclaimed the boy as she
paused R*r a moment.
Her face darkened, and she looked
anxiously around, amf nothiug but
Iho consciousness that everybody
has to clean off the spring cobwebs
prevented her from feeling bail.
”\Ve alius use corrosive sublimate
to kill them!” called the hoy irom
the knot hole.
She weut down to the fence and
asked who was there aud what was
wanted.
"I don’t want nuthin,” he softly re
plied, "only you can’t never kill ’em
with hot water!”
•‘Can’t kill what?” she sternly de
manded.
"Bumble-bees!” he chuckled.
We’ve had ’em home ever since I was
born.”
"Boy, I’m only cleaning tho dust
off that beadstead,” she said, as she
got closer to teh knot-hole.
"You kin call It dust, if you want
to, but 1 never saw ma jab at dust
with a sharp stick.”
“You are a mean, impudent boy,
and I want you to go away irom here
at once,” she exclaimed.
“This alley belongs to the city,”
he replied, “and I can’t gev You’d
better hurry back there, or they’ll
come to,”
She picked up a stick, laid it down
after a moment, and going to the
house she brought out a huge piece
or apple pie.
“Boy, aren’t you hungry?” she
asked."as she reached the fence.
"You bet!”
“And if I give you this, will you go
away?”
“I will that; I’ll whoop right out
of the neighcorhood iu two minutes,
aud you kin tuck a shingle over this
knot hole.”
“Well, now, here it is," she said, as
she reached it over.
“And I wpn’t tell no one what I
saw, ma’am, for wr’ro all ‘liable to
find ’em, aoa nm says she really be
lieves they’re a sign of good luek.
Thankee, and if I was you I’d leave
tho bedstead outdoors to-night, and
let ’er freeze up. Fust-rate pie, and
don’t let that water get cold!” — De

An Almost I iikuonn World.
From London Society.)
Amsterdam may almost be con
sidered as a bouudary mark between
North and .South Holland ; two dis
tinct worlds. Southward you reach
Rotterdam, and so progress beyond
into a better, more frequented couu
iry. Every one is aquainted with'
Belgium. Who has not visited Ant
werp? And yet, though short the
journey be, who, comparatively
speaking, has extended Ids travels
into Holland, and made friends with
its quaint old towns; its drawbridges
and gabled houses; its canals and
itinerant barges; Its ancient outlines
and modern facings; its energetic
people, with their straightforward
countenances and shrill voices; its
schiedam, curacoa aud inevi
table cheese? Southward of Am
sterdam is one thing. North
ward, on the other hand, yon get iu
to quite another world. Into the
neighborhood of the dead cities ot
the Zuyder Zee, where you feel as
much withdrawn from civilization
as if you had been landed on a South
S a Island ; through the uncomfort
able possibility of being devoured
by candibals is nappily not a feature
of Dutch territory, Still higher, you
reach the Helder, the most northerly
point, of Holland. Unable to get be
yond this point, you must, either put
out to sea or retrace your steps land
ward, Up here the aspect of the
country has changed. Flat enough,
certainly ; it must be that in Hollaud
and anything else w'ould excite
alarm ; but the dykes have broadened
their canals; there is almost more
water than land ; the grass is beau
tilully green, but there is not
so much of it; the cows have
diminished in number; and the en
gineering works, necessary t@ keep
out the beseiging enemy, have to be
carried out with marvelous precision.
If they were neglected,and gave way.
the inhabitants, some fine night,
would find themselves sailing out to
the North Seattle commencement
to them of a Voyage that would
launch them into the yet greater sea
of eternity. Just aerosa, on the oth
er side of the Zuyder Zee, and
stretching up further northward, you
come upon Firesland, whose women
are justly celebrated for their beau
ty. Before getting there, you wont
dor whether you will iind the ancleu
plaee with all its distinguished
marks of antiquity about, it; not only
upon ttie houses and public build
ings, but characterizing its men and
women, their costumes, habits and
modes of life.
