Hints for Ladies.
WHO WISH FOR DISCONTINUED HUSBAND:

| WHO WISH FOR DISCONTINUED HUSBANDS
Let your husband return home f.om his
labors at night, and find the fire out, his tea and
toast cold, and you in the parlor reading a
novel; @G
he tells you he fears his expenses are going
before his income, and proposes to move in a
smaller house, set down and cry about it. Tell
him you always lived in large house before
you were married, and you think it is very cruel
In him to digrace you now, in the eyes of the
world, by putting you ina shanty
Ii you ask him for money, and he says he
has note to pay on the morrow, but promises
you shall have 1t as soonas he can spare it, tell
him you never asked him for money in your
life, but he had note to pay and if he is will.
ing to disgrace himself by letting his wife wear
her fall bonnet In December, you are sure YOU
don care-you will never ask him for a cent
again as long as you live.
1t at the end Of few months he failsin bust
ness, don't, like sensible woman, make the
best of his misfortunes, or help him bear his
troubles by giving your sympathy, but cry as if
your heart would break. Tell him, by mis-.
management in business, he has brought a
dreadful disgrace upon you and your family.
and he cannot reasonably expect any ofyour, or
your parents sympathy.
Hint occasionally before him, Of how much
since your marriage.
Let him know how many new dresses Mr. So
and so buys for his wife, and how much better
he loves her than your husband does you.
If he has business to call him out in the even
ing, be sure and fret, when he returns, about
his being out ofnights; and about his disliking
to be at home with his family. 1t may have a
tendency to make him like home and the society
of his wife better You can try it.
If you have little children to keep at home,
whine every time he comes into the house about
being tired at home. Then, if he proposes to
take you and the children out to ride, tell him
you are tired half to death and don't want to
ride. Very likely he will leave the house, clos
ing the door with force enough to shake its very
foundations, thinking thatyou may stay at home
until your dying day, before he will ask you to
go out again.
You must find fault on every possible occasion
and tell him regularly every day that you do not
believe there is another woman in town who has
SO hard a time as you and in return you will
have as impatient and discontinued husband
as can be found, and one who will come home
only at eating and sleeping hours-and you may
be thankful to see him then.

Your devoted brother,
~ r. r. LEE

We might commit not merely the defence,
but the eulogy of Robert E. Lee to that letter.
Its sad, almost pathetic, sentences answer every
calumny of the Tribune with force that com
pels respectful assent to his claim of conscien-
tious warrant for his course
Finally, if the Tribune essays to convey re
proach by the charge that ambition moved Lee s
course, it is already fully answered, but may be
much more fully
It's now known that if General Lee had de-
sired it he could have had, from Lincoln, com
mand of the Federal army. Mr. Montgomery
Blair, the postmaster general under that Presi-
dent, was deputed to sound Colonel Lee on the
subject, with what result the event shows
