BETTUG OX ELLCTIO.NS. One noticeable thing about the late election is the tremendous amount of betting. Of course if a man tells you he has bet $50 ho means $5, but even with this discount off, it is evident that there has been a most unusual amount of money put np all over the country. "Betting is no argument," is an expres sion one often hears. No one claims it to be an argument, but somehow when a man says that a thing is thus and so, and winds up with "Pve got $20 that says so," one is apt to think twice before con tradicting him. The fact that there is a law against betting didn't seem to make any differ ence. Men voted just before betting and bet just before voting and didn't seem to oare a continental that the law deprived them of the legal right to deposit a bal lot ana covered the amount of the bet as dividends into the treasurv of tho enm monwealth. For once tho statutes in such cases made and provided were put entirely asiae. The bets, notably on New York, seemed to be a sort of political Barometer. The news that Nobb3 had bet $10,000 that Blaine would carry New York, braced up the spines of the Plumed Knight's ad herents far and near, while the intelli gence that Dobbs had wagered $11,000 mat uioveiana wouia carry his own state, gladdened the hearts of the gov ernor's adherents wherever it was heard. The way the bets went did more than anything else to govern opinion as to the result. Every one realize the truth of this in his own experiencer for who is it that didn't feel increased confidence in the ability of his own candidate to succeed when he heard that some of his neighbors or acquaintances were putting up their coin as a backer to their opinions. Here in Astoria there is not a great deal bet, probably not over $5,000. A Literary Diamond. Sidney Smith says he cut the following from a newspaper and preserved it for his own guidance: "When you rise in the morning determine that you will make some person happy dnring the day. It is easily done. A lef t-off garment to some one who badly needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful; an encouraging expression to the dejected trifles in themselves as light as air will do at least for the twenty-four hours. If yoif are young it will tell when you are old; and if vou are old it will help to smooth the road down to the bottom of the hill. By the most simple arithmetical calculation look at the result, buppose you live forty vears after you commence this course of medi cine and you make ono person a little happier than they could hav6 been every day, that is 3G3 in a year, which multi plied by forty amounts to 14.C00 persons which you have made happy at all events for a time."

When the American people proceed to elect a president they do not seem to trouble themselves very much about who his wife is, or what she is, or what his domestic relations are. Nothing could better illustrate the character of 0 political institutions than that every now and then a president's wife appears who has no social fitness whatever for the place she is expected to occupy. The wives of all the recent presidents except one, Mrs. Hayes, never would have been selected to occupy the position they were compelled to assume when they went to Washington, ilrs. Lincoln shrank from the ordeal was never at ease while her husband was in the White House and never recovered from the sad effects of her sojourn there. Mrs. Andrew John son was a very plain little woman, who loved her husband as she ought to have done, but who never had a taste for fashionable' society. Mrs. Grant is one of the most faithful of wives, but her side of two presidential terms will be forgotten a long time before that of her husbBnd. Mrs. Hayes was the first wife of a Republican president to carry any strong characteristics into her reign at the White house. She is n most amiable, intelligent lady, and is remembered with many more pleasureable emotions than her husband. Sirs. Garfield was a loving wife and a good mother, but going to Washington came near being as fatal to her as to Garfield himself. She was as unsuited to the responsibilites of the position she had to assume as Mrs. Lin coln or Mrs. Andrew Johnson. President Arthur- is more of a "society" man than any of his Republican predecessors, and if his wife had lived with him through his administration she would havo been as highly esteemed by genteel people as the president himself is. She was a most lovable woman, and thor oughly familiar with polite usages. Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Grant and Mrs Garfie'd all married self-made men before they were made that is, when they were young and poor and inconse quential. They and their husbands were on a level when they married; they pro ceeded to raise up families of children, as ell good wives should do, whilo their husbands proceeded to study and grow famous. After twenty years or so the hnsbands were quite ready to be presi dents, but their wives were not ready to be mistresses of the White House. They had not been cultivating themselves in that direction. Mr. Lincoln married Mary Todd in 18i2, when he was a poor lawyer at the little village of Springfield, capital of the then sparsely settled state of Illinois. That was nineteen years be fore he became president. Andrew John son came from even more humble sur roundings than Abraham Lincoln. He was born in 1803 and married in 1827, so that he was only 19 when he assumed the responsibility of a wife. She taught him how to write and cipher, and was a good, patient, faithful woman. She had no desire to appear in the glare of Wash ington society during the time her hus band was president, and her daughter, Mrs. Patterson, took the lead of the so cial side of the White House. Gen. Grant married Julia T. Dent, the daugh ter of a farmer, in 1848 and in 1852 he, after having become a captain in the army, went to live with her father on his farm near St. Louis. Mrs. Grant at that timoliv6da very humble life, her hus band making part of bis income by sell ing wood by the wagon-load in the streets of St. Louis. Afterwards he went to live with his. own father at Galena, 111., where ho pursued the occupation of a tanner and leather dealer. He was there when the war broke out. Tho first ten years of his married life certainly gave no promise of his future positions and honors, and Mrs. urant neer ureamed of preparing herself to go into tho White House. Fame never fell upon a family more suddenly nor more unexpectedly. President Garfield married Lucretia Ru dolph in 1856, while he was a teacher in a school. He was then thinking more of being a preacher than a politician, and his wife had no intimation of the cares and anxieties, to say nothing of the over whelming sorrow, that awaited her as the first woman of the land. Mrs. Lin coln, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Garfield were devoted wives and mothers, and that was worth more to the nation than fitness for fashionable society. Still they and their husbands would many a time have been made happier if tho latter had had better opportunities in life. The misfortunes of women who have been the wives of our later presidents are remarkable. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Garfield all be came widows while ut the White House, tho two last under the most terrible cir cumstances. Tho first Mrs. Tyler died while her husband was president, and the second Mrs. Tyler, who is now living at Georgetown, D. C, was compelled to ask congress for a pension in 1879. Ex President John Tyler died at Richmond in January, 1862, and his property was destroyed by the war. Mrs. James K. Polk, who is yet living at the advanced age of 84, had a fortune left her and has long enjoyed the society of a rare circle of devoted friends, but the last days of her life have been much embittered by the disgraceful defalcation and sub sequent imprisonment of her nephew, who was State Treasurer of Ten nessee. Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Polk are the only women now living who were wives of ante-bellum presidents, and it is father odd that Mrs. Tyler is tho younger of the two by twenty-five or'thirty years, whereas her husband was President in 1843 and 1844, while Mr. 'oik did not come into the office till later. Mrs. Tyler was not only a second wife, but was married at the early ace of 18. She is the only presidential wife who nsa me nonor 01 giving a weaaing re ception at tho White House. There are at least two people in New York who danced at that reception Henry Bergh and wife. There is no need to attempt to recount the misfortunes of Mrs. Lin coln and Mrs Garfield, for they are well known to all the world. Poor Mr. Lin coln survived her husband a dozen years or more, but she never survived the shock that his death gave her, and the latter days of her life were clouded by a disor dered mind. Few and far between were tho happy moments that fell to her lot irom the tnrouienc nour that her hus band became President. Tho story of Mrs. Andrew Jackson is almost as pa thetic, but it is not so well known. She was nearly 60 years old when her hus band became president and had been married over forty vears. She was almost as little known at Wasnington during the presidential career of Andrew. Johnson as if she had not lived at all, and the American people know less about her than of the wives of any of tho chief ex ecutives of their country. She died in 1879, six months after her husband had died. Mrs. Grant is not by any means a happy woman, though she has the satis faction of knowing that the American people will always hold her husband in the nighest esteem for his great military Mzricts. The disaster that came on General Grant and her sons who were in business in tho firm of Grant & Ward told very heavily upon her, and she, along with the other recent president's wives, has a burden to bear. Mrs. Hayes seem Da peacefully settled in life and lives quietly at a little village in Ohio. WASIHXGTOJf LITTER. The Approach of the Cay Season. FenlIarN ties or Life at the Capital. The Short Term or Congress. President Ar thur and his Ileported Encasement. From our KesularCorresiionden.) Washington, Nov. 4, 1834. It is au odd fact that the best sign of the approach of the gay season in Wash ington is noticed at the auction sales. These compatitive entertainments are very popular in this city and draw big crowds. They are especially diverting to certain classes of women who love a bargain as much as they do a bonnet,, but they are also a source of excitement and interest to the very large number of peo ple here, who eke out an income by rent ing rooms, or taking boarders. There is hardly a parallel in any other city of the country to this, in this respect. A rea sonable estimate would say that at least one-half of the domiciles of Washington are occupied by more than ono family. The principal reason for this is found in the fact that incomes are usually small. A clerk with a salary of 1,000, $1,200 or $1,400 and an increasing fpmily, cannot afford to rent a good house for their ex clusive use. He solves the problem of how to live well on a small income, by sub-letting apnrtments in a large house tho rent of which he assumes, but re duces in this w?y very often so that his living rooms cost but a nominal sum. The unmarried clerks and clerkesses3, and young couples, and visitors for "the season," make up his tenents. Now as winter approaches and tho city tills up with people, the vacant houses "are taken and the problem of how to furnish rooms becomes an active one with this class. Hence the auction sales, and the custom ers. One would think that some time tho second-hand furniture would fail to ma terialize and spread itself over the large store rooms, and out into the street and half way up and down the block, as is the cas9 on auction days here; but it is always there. The half worn carpets and chairs, the faded settees and sofas, rheu matic tables rnd blase bric-a-brac; all eloquently dumb about the things and events with which they have been asso ciated, are on hand, and are eagerly bought and carted off to commence life over again in a sort of a way. It is won derful where it all comes from, but it is a good illustration of how changeable an office-holding community is. There is an opportunity for an imaginative writer to trace the career of furniture from a cabinet minister's to Dinah's front par lor if he wants to. Such mutability ap pertains to Washington curios. But the snbjoct is left for tho romancer, with the assertion that the movement of old furni ture is tho first important sign of tbo coming of the gay season. The second or short session of con gress is usually an important one. It meets in December, a large slico is cut out for the holidays, and it expires March 4. Thi3 leaves little chanco for active business, and besides the house is prac tically disorganized. Those who have been defeated for the new term do not care to work. Their interest is dead. Those who are re-elected are busy with schemes for getting better committoo places, and so tho session is usually a trifling one. The laxity which prevails is, however, taken advantage of by tho lobbyists. There are "more steals carried through and more bad legislation is en acted. The salary grabs and special grants of all kinds have all passed on tho eve of an expiring congress. It always happens when the dominant party is overthrown in congress that tho sore heads signalize their retirement to pri vate life by gouging something from the treasury. "This soothes the pangs of de feat and cases the pain which attends the overthrow of their ambitions. Preparations are being made at tho White house for a lively winter. The rumor which devised Mr. Arthur's mar riage with Mis3 Frelinghuysen has been very annoying and vexatious to tho lady in question. It is almost absurd to deny the truth of such a rumor, but the two people most interested are often put in a most embarrassing attitude towards each other by it. This is the case in this in stance without doubt. Their interest in each other was a little more than friend ly, and tho prospect of such an alliance could not havo been distasteful to a lady of middle age. But the gossip of rude tongues hasalmost estranged them. At tentions which before were easy and nat ural, are now awkward and embarrass ing, and a friendship which might have developed into something warmer, has now been nipped in the bud.
