[From the San Francisco Era.] The approach of the State and mu¬ nicipal election is bringing to the sur¬ face the usual crew of aspirants for official honor and many new candidates. It is useless to warn the old stagers, but the new ones may flee from the wrath to come on reading the experience of one Boggs, who ran for office : Boggs was as peaceable a man as ever lived. He was sober, honest and respected. He had never beaten, bis wife. Never taken any interest in a dog fight. Had been never known to pawn somebody else’e watch. Arid never bad attempted to steal a saw mm. Boggs’ character was above reproach. He was a shining tight in society. All Boggsville looked up to and hon¬ ored him. But a change came—a fearful, dire¬ ful change. In au evil hour Boggs accepted the nomination for constable of his native village. Alas ! Poor Boggs ! Little did he understand the deceit anil treachery of the wicked world. His eyes were soon opened, however. In less than a week after he was nominated the opposition had fully established the following damaging charges against his character : 1. That he was a free lover and an infidel. 2. That he had fed his neighbors’ i ■ hens on poisoned corn. 3. That he had broken his mother in-law’s jaw with an iron bootjack. 4. That he on one occasion gave a whole wagon load of green watermelons to an orphan asylum. 5. That he had served a term in State prison for horse stealing. 0. That he had set fire to his neigh¬ bor’s barn merely because he refused to lend him a hoe. 7. That because he found a button off his shirt he tied his wife to the bed post and mashed in three of her ribs with a stove poker. 8. That his chiei Sunday amusements were cock-fighting That and play ing cards. 9. he sold his vote every year regulai ly to the highest bidder.’ .’0. That he wasn’t fit for the place anyhow. These charges, although without the slightest foundation, were religiously believed by the majority of the vot t is of Boggsville. And Boggs' political goo.*w was cooked. llis chances for being elected w ere not worth three cents on the dollar. When Boggs passed along the street his neighbors looked at huu with side. suspicion and crossed over on the other Bo, was a miserable being. The day of town meeting came at l>ut. and Boggs' opponent scooped Lu the constableship by a two-thirds vote. The anti-Boggs party swept their candidate into cilice on the tidal wave of popularity, and poor Boggs "’as left perched high on the picket fence of despair. office again Boggs will never run for ; not even tor 1’ivsidont. He says it is too great a strain upon the character. If he can regain the esteem of his neighbors by grubbing along in the old way he intends to do it and leave office-seeking to people of cast iron reputation. lhe great cloci^ ot the Lai uituen tary Palace, ot Westminster, has, by the Astronomer-Royals report, been within ono second ot true time on SO per cent, of days ohsfrvatlop. Edwin YArden Stuart’s End. A Once Influential Maryland Merchant Dying in a Five Cent Lodging House. In the rear room of a five cent under¬ ground lodging house, at, 107 Green wieh street, early yesterday morning, says the New York Sun of Monday, the dead body of Edwin Varden Stuart lay on the floor with a cheap, unclean pillow under the head. He died sud¬ denly at 5 o’clock of a hemorrhage caused by excessive drinking. Mr. Stuart was a well-known resident of Talbot county, Maryland, and for some years a prosperous merchant in Balti more. About two years ago he made his first appearance in the part of the city in which he died. He dressed well, and often expensively, and at times had a great deal of money, which he quickly squandered officer in drink. the Con¬ Mr. Stuart was an in federate army. He has a brother-in law who is a clergyman in Baltimore. A few weeks ago a Wall street lawyer became interested in his case, and per¬ suaded him to enter the Seventy-eighth street Christian Home tor Intemperate Men ; and two weeks ago he came out of the institution greatly improved, but he relapsed into his old ways. In one of the bar-rooms that Mr. Stuart frequented was found a vest, which he had pledged for drinks, and in it were several affectionate letters from his mother, an aged widow, who lives in Easton, Md. She is said to have been wealthy at one time. Her son’s body was taken to the Morgue. No Remarks About the Weather. It was hot yesterday. It was hotter at noon. It was so hot that passen¬ gers on the street took oft’their hats, mopped their brows, and fiercely de¬ clared that they knew at the time we’d catch it about the 1st ot July. The Rome saloon had just one chair left, and this was taken by a red-whiskered man adown whose cheeks the perspi¬ ration fairly ran. His clothes stuck to the small of his back, his big, red hands were wet to the finger nails, and it was evident that the sun had been trying to corner him; seven or eight men were making ready to tell him that it was a warm day, when the stranger drew out a big revolver, laid it on his knee, and looking up and down the room, slowly remarked : “Gentlemen, I’m a stranger here, but have bought a house and lot, up the street, and shall pass here six times a day. This is my day for opening the season.’’ Every man looked at him in a won¬ dering way, and gently caressing the weapon of death, the stranger added : “It is hot weather. Even a fool knows that. It’s going to be hotter. Two weeks hence it will be a regular old frying-pan weather. Now, then, while I shall realize it forcibly as any one, I’ll shoot the first- man that says weather to me. I won’t have a word about it or hear to it. I am willing to be broiled, baked or roasted; but I don’t want to talk about it. Now, let some one remark that it's a hot day— bad for grass—looks like too little rain —awful begin dusty, or beautiful breeze, and I'll shooting.” Not a lisp was heard. If any oue imagined that, there might be a frost at night in the lower Picket-wire region, he kept his thoughts to himself.— Trinidad ( Colorado ) News. He Gave it Up. — One ot the poets ot the First Empire, Nepomucence Lemercier, wrote a tragedy whose hero was Christopher Columbus. He had in it violated the unities, which French¬ men for years considered an inviolable law of tragedy. When Lemercier’s piece was p'ayed, the students hissed it with great vehemence. Napoleon admired him, and when he heard the tragedy had been hissed he ordered played again. It was again hissed. He became furious. He er dered it played a third time, and went to the theatre, accompanied and by a second regi mefit of soldiers. The first acts were heard in silence. It wes at; the third act that the hisses weie more vigorous When the curtain rose on the thud act, Napoleon leaped over his box and looked at the students to see if they would dare oppose his known will in his presence. What should he i sec but the whole audience, from the pit to the last tier, wearing nightcaps, | ' and pretending to be asleep, The sight w as . so odd, Napoleon couldn’t help lauuLi ing, and he gave up attempting to support the tragedy.— 2 rot/ Tress. ■ Forty ix lett by Shelley, of little interest to anybody, except ardent ot the poet, are for sale at Florence.

Rioting in Fall River The Home of a Poor Woman Stoned, and the Windows Broken by a Crowd. Fall River, July 21.—A woman with her son came to this city from Warren, R. I., this afternoon, and the latter (a weaver) was given mother work in Merchant’s Mill, and the was given a tenement in one of the com¬ pany’s houses in Plain street. At about 7 o’clock this evening the women in the neighborhood began to make threats, and stones were thrown at the house, and the windows were broken. Two officers were then put on guard at the house. The crowd continued to increase, and the officers deemed it advisable to take the woman to safer quarters, and as she went through the streets the crowd rapidly enlarged until about one thousand men, women, and boys had gathered on Bedford street at the north end of Merchant's Mill, and opposite the office, where a number of new spinners, including four who arrived this afternoon, were quar¬ tered. Another crowd assembled at the south end of the milk Stones were thrown, and one of the special watch¬ men at the mill was struck on the arm ami considerably liurt. Ten policemen were sent to the mill, and they quelled the disturbance. No arrests were made. Large crowds also gathered near other mills in that part of the city, but no attempt was madp to create any dis-. turbance, and at 10£ o’clock the city was quiet. Large numbers of spinners have ar¬ rived in this city to-day, and although the union spinners persuaded several persons to quit the town yesterday, the mills have a decided gain. The Narragansett Mill, which shut down on the first day after the strike, and which has been the only mill stopped for the past three weeks, re¬ sumed work this morning. The Wabvortlis, Mother and Son Frank Walworth, the youih who, in order to protect his mother’s life, slew his. father, is here at the old Walworth home in Broadway, says a Saratoga correspondent. He has not a single feature or trait of character that would indicate that he is parricide. His health is poor, but he is reading law. He is tall, fair and manly in his bear¬ ing, but he has an inexpressibly sad, preoccupied expression. He, of course, is isolated from society. On his exit from prison his former friends cut him, and his proud spirit felt it keenly. His mother has been very busy with her literary work on art and science. She has been yery successful on her lecturing tour. She has the respect and sympathy of the entire community here, all of whom are acquainted with the terrible trials she had to endure at the hands of an erratic husband, and her struggles to care for her five child ren previous to and since his awful death. She is a beautiful woman, on the brink ot 50; but, despite her sor rows, she looks ten years younger. It is presumed that the old homestead will be sold, and she will, with this unhappy son, sail for the Old World and join her children now there, hoping to find anchor in some spot where her surroundings will not stir up the un- ; pleasant memories of the past as they do here.— Exchange. j Con- I Tiif.

A Tropical Night. “Listen ! w bat’s going on in that tree up there ? It can’t be birds at this time of night?” In different intervals of the camp hubbub we had heard a shrill twitter from the summit of a large pinabete, or mountain larch tree, as it a multi¬ tude of swallows were chirping in unis son. But the invisible vocalists had either disagreed on some private busi¬ ness, or the glare of the camp fire began to excite them, for their twitter¬ ing was now intermingled with a vehe¬ ment flutter and piercing squeaks that sounded through the cackle of our Mexicans like a boatswain’s whistle. “Goatsuckers, perhaps, or some other kind of night-bird.” I * They must be squirrels, ’ said the Boss, “birds couldn’t squeak like that.” “But squirrels can’t flutter; they must be bats or birds,’ insisted the doctor. “Let me get ov*r there ; now watch if you don’t see them fly away.” He picked up a billet, and, after !i.aging it branches, repeatedly against the upper pinabete, inspected the trunk a the and owned himself puzzled when he returned. “There is a twenty-inch stratum of animal excrements under that tree,” said he. “You may be right, after all, or there must be something else up there besides my birds— may be cats or monoschicos” (tree raccoons). “They are murciegalos” (a large kind of bats,) said the guide, guessing at the context of the English conversation by the last word; “that tree is chuckful of them.’’ “What makes them flutter so ?” “I don’t know, eir; they keep com-’ ing and going, and some of them are as large as woodpigeons.” But the fluttering in the larch tree was as steady as the flopping of a fan ventilator; and after r impounding and rejecting a variety o other theories. we came to the conclusion that the upper branches of the pinabete must be the flying school for the bat colony, where their youngsters were exercised in the rhythmic movement of their membranous wings. Smaller bats and a swarm of moths and beetles hovered about the camp, and in the light of our fire we could see night rats chasing each other through the grass and flying squirrels flitting from tree to tree, and their near and far voices of the forest made it rather doubtful which part of the twenty-four hours could here be called par excel]* nee, the wide-awake time.

A woman at Greenburg, Inti, was not sure that she wished to die, but thought she did ; so she put her neck into a noose, stepped off a chair, taking the precaution to hold a sharp knife in her hand, The choking left her no longer in doubt that she still desired to live, and she hastily cut the rope above her head.
