-. Mrs. swisshelm, the editor, or rather
editress Of the Pittsburg Visittr, thus speaks
of what she seems to regard as tho abomauahe
practice Of wives telling their husbands'' of
every rudeness and insult offered to them:
"Whi!e We were in Louisville, lady went
home and told her husband that a clerk aciuksd
at her. The husband, who was q stout me-
chanic, laid down his plane, went and bought
cowhiae, proceeded to his store, dragged the
puny clerk into the street, and whipped him in
presence of q crowd. II was the first time we
knew that winking was crime and one not
to be winked at; and from the talk attending
the affair. We concluded the lady could not be
both a sensible and modest woman-that she
must be either semi.idiot or no better than
she should be. No woman of ordinary intelli-
gence, who loved her husband or respected
herself, would ever carry away such q tale
No virtuous woman could need such protection
"a these combats afford. There can ba NO.
danger Of violence in such cases, and the small
impertinencs Of look or word q woman should
scorn to see or hear, much less run to retail II
From the above, the inference Is legitimate
that the "strong minded women have no oh.
lection to being "winked at'' BY puny, imper.
