How tee Ancients Ccndlucted Their Jpiections. HTtibeit Spencer. As hitherto, so again, we must go back to the beginning and takeun the clew. Out of the earliest stage of the savage horde iu which there is no supremacy beyond that of the man wboj?e strength, or courage or cunning gives him prominence, the first step is to the practice of election deliberate ohuScc of a leader in war. About the conducting of elections in rude tribes travelers are silent probably the metho'cls used are various But we have accounts of 'elections as they were made by European people during early times.

Recalling, as this ceremony does, the chairing of the newly elected member of Parliament up to recent times, and reminding us that originally among ourselves election was by show of hands, we are taught that the choice of a representative was onb3 identical with the choice of a chief. Our House of Commons bad its roots in local gatherings like those in which civilized trl bbs select their head wa triors. Besides conscious selection, there con

Early historic races supply illustration!!, as the Hebrews in tlie affair of Saul and Johnathaii, ana as the ttoiherao Greeks When filing pn a champion to fiht with Hector. In both these last cases there was belief in supernatural interference; the lot was supposed to be divinely determined. And probably

at; the outset, choice by lot for political

purposes among the Athenians, and for military purposes among the Romans, as also in later time?, the use of the lot for choosing deputies in some of the Italian Republics, an in Spain (as Leon during the twelfth century), was influenced by a kiudred belief; though doubtless the desire to give equal chanee? to rich anil poor, or else to assign without dispute a mission which was onerous or dangerous, entered into the motive or'wa even predominant. Here, however, the fact to be noted is, that This mode of choice which plays a part in representation may also be traced back to the uses of primative people. Stowaway Emigrants. London Telegraph. Kot very long ago I was standing on tte quay f r North country port ; when a cattle ship hauled alongside! Her decks were full of horned beasts, and what with the bellowing of these animals, the hissing of steam, the shouts of the seamen and the whirring of a great steam-winch, the uproar was tolerably confusing. In the midst of the bsaststhat is to say, bobbing and glowering among the stalls, with ashen faces and sandy hair, and picturesquely wild raiment, were some forty or fifty men, women aud children.

"Who arc- those people?" I asked a

bystander. ' ".Emigrants," was the answer. Emigrants!" I exclaimed. "Sure ly these cattle ships don't carry erni grants?" ; "Yes they do." said the man.

Until the middle of the eighteenth century, however; .most of tho merchandise boiiveyeu from place to place was transported on I pack-horses through .... short d istancei. Between distaut, places a cart was used, a pack-horse not being able to transport a sufficient quantity of goods to pay the cost of the journey. The common carrier between Selkirk and Edihburg, a distance of thirty-eight miles, reciuired a fortnight for his journey, e:o-

da vs. in 1849 tho same route was

made, by a route three miles longer, in one hour and a half. . In the year 1763 there was but one stage-coach between Edinburgh and London. This started once a month from each ot these cities. It took a fortnight to perform the journey. In 18il5 seven ecach.es started daily between Loudon and Edinburg, which performed the journey in less than forty-eight hours. .. In 1703 the number of passengers by the coaches between London, and Edinburgh could not have exceeded about twenty-five monthly. ,-In 183;$ the coaches conveyed about 143 passengers daily. Until the close c f the last cen tury, the internal transport of goods in England was performed by wagon, "and was .so expensive as to exclude every object except manufactured articles and such as, being of light weight and small oulk in proportion to their value, would allow a high rate ot transport. Thus the charge from London to Leeds was at the rate of 13 a ton, being 13M per mile. Between Liverpool and Manchester it was 40s. a ton, or lod. per ton per mile. Heavy articles, such as ool and other materials, could only be available for commerce where their position favored transport by sea,,' and, consequently, many of the richest districts of the kingdom remained unpro ductive.

Conspiracy to Assassinate

Washington. An attempt made to assassinate Gen.

Washington m JNew rorE in lvvo is

imnerfectly described as follows; by

James Thacher. a Massachusetts sur-

Long-Lived People. Beteey Trautham, of Tennessee, died

in 1834. aged lo4 years. The following particulars of this individual are given

iu the .National uazette, from an ac-

count dated Murfreesborough, TennM February 22d, 18S4: She was born in Germany, and emigrated to the British coloniesln America at the time when the first settlement was made iu North Carolina, in the year 1710. At the age of 120 years her eyesight became almost extinct, but during the last twenty years of her life she possessed the power of vision as perfectly as at the age of 20 years. For manj years previous to her death she was unable to work, and is said to have required great attention in her friends, to prevent the temperature of b or body from falling so low as not to mistain animal life. At the time of her death she had entirely lost the senses of taste and hearing. For twenty yean 4 before her death she was unable to distinguish the difference between the taste of sugar aud vinegar. At the .age of 65 she bore heir only child, who is now living and promises to reach an uncommonly advanced age. Solomon Nabit, of Laurens county, N. C, died in 1825, aged 148 years. Nabit was a native of England, where he lived until he was 19 years of age. Ho then came to this country, aud resided in the Statu of Maryland till about fifty five years before his death, when he removed to South Carolina,

where he pasted the rest of Ufa life. He never lost his teet h or his sight, and, a few days before his death, he joined a bunting party and actually killed & deer. Henry Francifoo, of Whitehall,, N. Y., died in 1820, aged 131 years. Francisco, is stated to have been born in France, in 1G8G, but at the age of 3 wars left that country id company with his father, who fled from religious prosecution, and went first to Holland, and afterward to England.

Military Journal During the American

Revolutionary War." under date of

Sent. 10, 1778: "I have omitted to re

cord the following incidents till I could

ascertain the particulars of the reports.

We 1 am bV accounts from New York

that some time since a plot of a most atrocious nature was detected . in that

city. A gang of Tories had associated for the nurnose of ioinins the British

army, and concerted a nJan, it is said,

to assassinate his JScellency Gen. Washington, and some other officers:

aud while our army were engaged with-

the en em v to blow up our magazines

etc. The Mayor of the city, and an ar

morer who was engaged in making ri

fles for the Tories, and several others were taken into custody and commit

ted to close prison. The Mayot, on

examination, confessed tnat ne received money from Gov. Tyron to pay the armorer for the rifles. Two of his Excellence's guards were confederates aud a third, to whom the secret was confided, honestly disclosed the infor

mation. Several of these miscreants

were tried and convicted, and two or

three were executed." . A foot note of

this account quotes as follows from one

of David Ramsay's histories : 'WOV;

Tvron had suborned the then Mayor

of New York to assist the Royal forces

on .their arrival in that city, and Gen. Washington was to be assassinated.

This detestable design was rendered

abortive bv apprehending . Thomas

guard-men, who was engageu in tne

conspiracy', and had engaged others;

this false miscreant was tried by a

court martial on the r 28th.. of June,

fouud guilty, aiid was executed the same day. amid the curses Of the

American army." . ... "Send For Mother."

In sickness, no matter who is there, or how many doctors quarrel over your ease, everything goes wrong somehow, till you send for mother. In trouble, the first thing you think of is to send fo smother. But this has its ludicrous as well as as its touching aspect. The verdant young couple, to whom baby's extraordinary grimaces ' and , alarming yawns, which threaten the dislocation of its chin, its wonderful sleeps, which it accomplishes with its eyes half open, and no perceptible flutter of breath on its iins. causing tlie young mother to

imagine it is dead this time, and to shriek. "Send for mother!" in tones of

auguish-rthis young couple in the light of experience which three or four babies bring, find that they have been ridiculous and given mother a good many trots for nothing. Did anyone .ever send for mother and she tailed to come? Never, unless sickness or the iufirmitios of age prevented her, As when, in yoxw childhood, those willing feet responded to

shook him. He is better oil than Jansen, but wht does that mean? I lov the one and despise the other. " When If 1 first saw Jansen I loved him, and I; have doted on hnn over since. Have ; you ever seen him? No. Well, he is ; ' tall and red-haired, with blue eyes Wm a brown beard. His nose is a. little it clined to be rosy, but of such a delicate tint that one wouldn't liotice it in dark i;oora. He is very handsome.aiid s such a jolly fellow. Why,, when r

didn't know him much more tnau a, week he took me into his arms andf kissed me on the end of my nose. Of course. I striieeled and slapped his face;

but, oh! how l liked it.- 1 Used to gq out with him some; but we always be?, , haved ourselves. He used tohhy m ice cream1 and I uetl, to make him neckties. . But at last Lauter suspected . something and commenced to scold mfc df course this was something I would not stand,no wife should.and slapped his fhco aud told him I would do as I pleased.
