A Wife's Influence.

Judge O'Neale, in The YorksviHe En-.
quirsr, tells the following of Judge William
Smith, Of South Carolina:
''He had the rare blessing to win the love
OF one of the pures,, mildest, and best wo-
men, whose character has ever been pre-
sented to the writer. He MARI ed Margaret
Duff. In his worst days she never upbraic-
ed him by word, look or gesture, but always
met him as if he was one of the Understand
best of husbands. This course on her part
humbled him, and made him weep like a
child. This sentence, it is hoped will be
remembered, was the language Of Judge
Smith to the friend already named, and to
those who knew the stern, unbending char.
acter of the Judge, it will teach q lesson of
how much patient woman's love may scs
complish- He was at last reformed by All
instance of her patient love and devotion
as he himself told it:rsThe evening before
the Return Day of the Court of Common
Pleas for York District client called with
fifty notes to be put IN suit. Mr.. Smith
was not in his Uffice-he was on what ID
now iashionabIy called spree, then b
frolic, Mrs. Smith received the notes, and
sat down in the Off e to the work Of issu-
ing the wrils and processes. She spent the
night at werk-Mr. Smith in 'riotous iiv.

his carousals, he saw light in his office.

His entry awuke her. She told him what
she had done, and showed him the nights

the strong man: 'he fell on his knees, i'm
pored her pardon, and then and there faith
lully promised her never to drink another
drop while lie lived This PROMISE says
my friend Col. Williams 'he faithfully kept
and, said the judge To Eim, 'from that day.

His entire success in life,' says Col. Will
iiams 'he set down to his faithful observ-
anee of this noble promise
''No better eulogy could be pronounced
on Mrs. Smith than has just been given in
the wOras of her distinguished husband
The reformation of such man as William
Smith is a chspet of glory which few wo-
men have been permitted to wear. To the
people OF South Carolina and especially oe

Twenty Years Governed by an In

According to the Berlin correspG ndent of
The Nem York Tribune. the people of Prus-
sia have for twenty years past been under
the government of an insane man-Fred-
erick William Three. The writer supports
his assertions by variety ..of statements &.
He says that the King had lucid intervals
which were made use o: by the Queen to
dissipate all doubts as to the condition of
his mind. The following incidents are re-
lated:
"Thcre still exists an old custom at Pots

lest the scene so well got up should be

King rose, and in laundering voice de-

Arabian tale OF a man Deius converted into

celebrated her nupliuls at Berlin, per pro

"CANARD. This word, now pOpuIarIy used
for n hoax, is French for duck and the origin
ofits new application is said TO be the following
amusing " sell" on the putlic:
"To give a sly lift TO the ridiculous piece of
intelligence which the journals arc in the habit
ofpublshing every morning, COrnelissen stated
that an interesting experiment had just been
made, calculated to prove the extraordinary
yoracity of ducks. Twenty of these animals
had been placed together, and one of them hay
ing been killed and cut up into the smallest
possible pieces, feathers and all, and thrown to
the other nineteen, had been gluttonOusly COB
bled up in an exceedingly briefspace of time.
Another was taken from the remaining nine
teen, and being chopped small, like its prede-
cessor was served up to eighteen, and at once de-
youred like the other and so on TO the last who
was thus placed in the remarkable position of
having eaten his nineteen companions in a won
derfully short time, All this, most pleasantly
narrated, obtained n success which the writer
was far from anticipating, for the story ran the
rounds of all the journals in Europe 1t then
became almost forgotten for about n score Of
years when it came back from America, with
implication. which it did not boast of at the
commencement, and with n regular certificate
of autopsy of the body Of the surviving animal,
whose oesophagus was declared to have been
found seriously injured, Every one laughed at
the history of the cansrd thus brought up again,

PECULIARITIES Or THE DIFFERENT STYLES

wholly or partly of wool, and are made in
several ways. The simplest form is composed

linen thread, rs in the sO-cailed Venetian
kidderminster or ingram carpeting, is COM
posed Of two weeks, each consisting Of separ-
ate warped wOOf, the two being inlerwOven at
intervals TO produce the figures, as the two
webs arc passed at intervals through each other,
each part being at one time above and At the
other below; when different eOlors are used the
hguTe will be the same on both sides, but the
cOiOrs will be Teyersed-theSe are made en-
tirely OF wool. Brussels earpeting has a basis
composed Of warp and wOOf OF strong linen
thread in the warp there is added To every
two threads Of linen ten threads Of wooden Of
different colors-the use Of tie linen being to
bind the wUrsted together and it is not visible
on the upper surface. The wooden threads arc
from time to TINE drawn up in loops to form the
figures each row passes over a wire which is
withdrawn without cutting the yarn In the
Wilton carpeting the yarn is cut in the Turkey

loops are larger and always cut-the cutting
