The DoMHsr1o TYRANT.-It is to me
thoroughly disgusting sight to see, as
we sometimes do. the wife and children of
family kent in constant terror Of the
selfish bashav at the head of the house,
and ever ON the watch to weld in every
petty manner to his whims and fancies.-
Sometimes, where he is a hard-wrought
and anxious man, whose hard work earns
his children's bread, and whose life is the
sole stay, it is needful that he should be
deferred to in many things, lest the over
taxed brain and over strained nervous sys-
tenn should break down or grow unequal
to their task. But I am not thinking of
such cases. Imean cases in which the
head of the family il a great fat. bullying,
selfish scoundrel, whodevours sullenly the
choice dishes at dinner, and walks into
all the fruit or dessert. while the wife looks
on in silence. and the e.stricken child
rem dare not hint that thew would like
little of what the brutal hound is devour-
lug. I.mean cases in which the contempt.
ibie dog is extremely we'll dressed, while
his wife and children's attire is thin and
bare, in which he literally losses about
his money in the billiard. room, and goes
off in autumn for q tour on the continent
by himself, leaving them to the ioyless
routine of their UNMARRIED life. It is sad
to see the sudden hush that falls upon the
little THINGS when he enters the house

FANCY SADDLES "Rux INTO The GRouHD"-SI
G4Ls, FREnoNr's, AND AN ILLUsfRI0Us NoB0DY's.
The St. Louis correspondent of the San Fran.
cisco Bulletin, says:
'Some citizens Of St Louis, after the battle
Of Carthage, determined to present Gen. Sigel
with testimonial Of his skill and gallansry on
that occasion. They ordered the best saddler in
the city to make bride, saddle, and horse
equipments for the General, and they were fur
nished . few days ago at . cost Of 500 and sent
out to Sigel, who, meantime, had returned to
Rolla. Bride, holster, and all the other filings
were gorgeous in gliding and gold.plated orna.
ments, and the saddle covered Of rich dark
cloth, had two broad stripes Of gold lace sur.
rounding it The maker in disposing Of the
star and eagle ornaments, made the mistake Of
putting on too many, thus giving the sad-
die the insignia of the rank Of Major General in.
stead Of Brigadier-the last being Sigels actu.
al rank. In some other respects, too, he excee-
ded Brigadier's army pattern, but after all
this was done, the committee considered that
these did not matter. The saddle was intended
as testimonial, would he kept as such, as an
heirloom in the Generals family, and he would
seldom, If ever, take occasion to use it. All
were satisfied with present go appropriate and
so really tasteful, notwithstanding its richness
aud abundance of decoration. Soon afterwards
Gen. Fremont ordered Q saddle for himself
The maker finished one in very rich and costly
style, much like Sigel's, but within Major Gen.
erals regulation pattern, and with one broad
stripe of gold lace around the cover. One see
ing these saddles would scarcely think it posi-
BILE to eclipse them, but it has been done, and
by the same maker-not for Lieutenant General
Scott either, but for lawyer of this city, who
has some sort of position in the Adjutant's de.
partment of our Missouri Volunteer forces. He

seeking to ovsrturn the Government which
