THE WIFE.-The leading features in the
character Of a good woman are mildness,
complaisance, and equanimity OF temper
The man, if he be worthy provident hus-
band, is immersed in thousand cares. His
mind is agitatcd, his memory loaded, and
his body fatigued. He retires from the
hustle of the world chagrined perhaps by
disappointment, angry at insolent and per-
fdious people, and terrified least his una
voidable connections with such people
should make him appear peridious himself.
Is this the time for the wife of his bosom;
his dearest and most intimate friend, to add
to his vexationS, to increase the fevei of an
over -burdened mind, by contentious
tongue or discontented brow? Business,
in lis most prosperous state, is full Of ankle.
ty and turmoil. Oh, how dear to the mem.
ory of man is the wife, who clothes her
face in smiles, who uses gentle expressions,
and who makes her lap so soft to receive
and hush his cries to rest. There is not in
nature so fascinating an object as a faithful
tender and afectionate wife.

APPEARANCE OF JouN HANCOCK. One
who saw Hancock in June, 1889, relates
tina, he had the appearance OF advanced
age. He had been repeatedly and severely
afflicted with gou,, probably owing in rnri
10 The custom, of drinking punch-a common
PRACTICE in high circles in those days. As
recollecled al This lime, Hancock was near

the ornamental as useful. Gentlemen wore
wigs when abroad, and comm only caps
when a. home. Al this time. abou, noon.
Hancock was dressed in II red vrlye, cap,
within which was one Of fine linen. The
larer was turned up over The lower edge Of
The velvet one two or three inches. He
wore blue danask gown, linz d with silk, a

satin smull clothes, white stockings, and red
morocco slippers. 1t was general prac
,ice IN geL,eel families 10 have a iankard Of
punch made in The morning and placed in a
cooler, when the season required il. Al
this visit, Hancock took from the cuoler,
standing on the hearth, (ull ,ankard, and
drank first himsel and then offered it, to
those present. His equipage was splendid,
ard such as is no. customary at this day,
His apparel was sumptuously embroidered
with gold, silver, lace and o,her decorations
fashionable among men Of fortune al thai
period; and he rude, especially upon publ.
occasions, with six beautiful bay horses

"For the Telegraph

Mr. EDIToR:-In accordance with notice
previously given, our little village was fa-
vored, on the Sd and 4th inst, with an ex-
hib;tion, conducted by Mr.. ]. G. S. Miller,
teacher Of the public school in this place
The performance was held in the M. E..
Church, and was opened with prayer by
the Rev. E. Sibley, after which the exibi-
tors, thirty -four in number, introduced them
selves to the audience in song composed
for the occasion by j. B. Maybery. The
programme for both evenings numbered fif-
ty pieces, consisting Of original orations, es-
says, comedies, tragedies, with large va
riety of pieces selected for the occasion. -
Immediately following the Introductory
song, was an able and eloquent address by
J. B. Maybery upon "the advantageous
necessity Of establishing perfect system Of
educating" Succeeding the address, was
an "epologue" by G. Lallance and H. We'll
don; it was admirably performed. The
clear and correct style in which dialogue,
entitled "Disobedience to Parents" was
spoken by NJ. Pbilson and NJ. Lalance-
two small girls-was unsurpassed during
the whole performance. A song by Flora
Sibley, entitled the "Snow Storm" was well
received, and credit to the performer
A dialogue by M. v. Lasher and Mrs. Mil
Ter, "Mutiny at the Nore," was we'll per.
formed, although very difficult piece. A
lecture by L. Philson, from The words
''Early to bed and early to rise, &c." was
delivered in very creditable Manner
'The child's Thoughta"-a song by Eleths
Smith and F. Sibley-was well received
although the first named performer was
seriously unwell, and consequently unable
to sing in her usually firm style. The ad
mirable manner in which dialogue upor
Exhibitions" was performed will caus,
VIM. Hovey, and G. Campbell, long tob'
remembered by their hearers. The dla
logue "Nolnes Volens," by M. Ellis ant
w. Myres, was "done up" in style which
displayed rare talent for pieces of that char
acter. The Rag-gatherer"--a very diff
cult piece-was performed by |. Angel, F
Petrel, r. Ellis, NJ. Elliott and A. Campbell

"0ur streets are beginning to be thronged

Every boat which comes UP the river has a

from the South are hurrying on, and are
"squatting" on every unoccupied claim they
can find. There is not q doubt but they
have changed their tactics, and now hope te
become actual settlers, and in that way car

that the records in the Land Office Depart

ceeded that Of all The other. States and tern.

Than in any other territory or State, bu,

an exhibit. Of which we, as Minneso,ians,
may justly be proud, as j. shows that sran.
gers are beginning 10 appreciate the advan-
.ages here offered. We presume the ,e.
c nds would slow another fac, no, less sat,
