A .Iudicious Wife.

A judicious wife is always shipping
of from her husbands moral nature lit
tie things that are growing in wrong di-
rections. She keeps him in shape by
continual pruning. If you say anything
silly, she will affectionately tell you so.
If you declare that you will do some
absurd thing, she will find means of pre-
venting your doing it. And by far the
chief part of all the common sense in the
world belongs unquestionably to women.
The wisest things man commonly
does are those which his wife counsels
him to do. A wife is the grand wielder
of the moral pruning-knift. If Johnson's
wife had lived there would have been no
boarding up of -orange-peel, no touching
all the posts in walking along the streets
no eating and drinking with disgust
ing voracity. If Oliver Goldsmith had
been married he would never have worn
that memorable and ridiculous coat.
Whenever you find a man whom you
know little about, oddly dressed, or talk
ing absurdly, or exhibiting any eccen-
tricity of manner, you may be tolerably
sure that he is not a married man; for the
corners are rounded off-the little shoots
are pruned away-in married men.
Wives generally have much more sense
than their husbands, especially when
their husbands are clever men The
wife's advices are like the ballast. that
keeps the ship steady; they are the
wholesome, though painful shears, snip
ping off little growths of selfconceit.-

Secret Messages.

In 1850, when Monsieur de Louvois
was French Minister of War, he sum-
moned before him, one day, a gentleman
named Chamilly, and gave him the fol-
lowing instructions:
Start this evening for Basle, in Switz-
erland you will reach it in three days
on the fourth, punctually at two o'clock,
station yourself on the bridge over the
Rhine, with portfolio, ink, and pen.
Watch all that takes place, and make
memorandum of every particular. Con-
tinue doing so for two hours have car
riage and post-horse awaiting you
and at four precisely, mount and travel
night and day till you reach Paris. On
the instant of your arrival, hasten to me
with your notes."
De Chamilly obeyed, he reached Basle.
and on the day and at the hour appoint
ed, stationed himself, pen in hand, on
the bridge. Presently a market cart
drives by, then an old woman with a
basket of fruit passes anon, little ur-
chin trundles his hoop by next an old
gentleman in blue top coat jogs past on
bis gray mare. Three o'clock chimes
from the cathedral tower. Just at the
last stroke, tall man in yellow waist'
coat and breeches saunters up, goes to
the middle of the bridge, lounges over,
and looks at the water, then he takes
step back and strikes three hearty blows
on the footway with his staff. Down
goes every detail in De Chamilly's book.
At last the hour of release sounds, and
he Jumps into his carriage. Shortly be-
fore midnight, after two days of cease.
less travelling, De Chamilly presented
himself before the minister, feeling rath-
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-04-06
sr ashamed at having such triaes to re-

cord. zs .Fsrss m
Monsieur de Louvois took the portfolio
with eagerness, and glanced over the
notes. As his eye caught the mention
of the yellow breeched man CLEAN of
joy flashed across his countenance. He
rushed to the king, reused him from
sleep, spoke in private with him for a
few moments, and then four couriers,
who had been held in readiness since
five the proceeding evening, were dis
patched with haste. Eight days after
the town of Strasburg was entirely sur
rounded by French troops and summon
ed to surrender, it capitulated, and threw
open its gates on the 3Oth of September,
1851. Evidently the three strokes of
the stick given by the fellow in yellow
costume, at an appointed hour, were the
signal of the success of an intrigue con-
certed between Monsieur de Louvois and
the magistrate of Strasburg. and then the
man who executed this mission was as
ignorant of the motive as was Monsieur
de Chamilly of the motive of his.
Now this is a specimen of the safest
of all secret communications, but it can
only be resorted to on certain rare occa-
sions. When lengthy dispatch is re-
quired to be forwarded, and when such
means as those given above are out of
the question, some other method must be
employed. Herodotus gives us story
to the point it is found also, with vari-
ations in Aulus Gellius.
"Histieus, when he was anxious to
give Aristagoras orders to revolt, could
find but one safe way, as the roads We're
guarded, of making his wishes known;
which was by taking the trustiest of his
slaves, shaving all the hair off his head,
and then pricking letters upon the skin,
and waiting till the hair grew again.
This accordingly he did; and as soon
as the hair was grown he dispatched the
man to Miletus, giving him no other mes
sage than this: when thou art come to
Miletus, bid Aristagoras shave thy head,
and look thereon Now the marks on
the head were a command to revolt"

Arte,nus Ward.

Mrs. Browne, the venerable mother of
the late lamented Charles F. Browne,
ESQ. ("Artemus Ward"), the greatest
of American humorists, is now In this
city visiting the family of the proprietor
of the Democrat. Within few years
past Mrs. Browne has lost husband
and all of her children, and has now but
very few relatives living, being nearly
alone in the world, thong by no means
friendless. She never tires of talking
of dearest son." and those who were
as intimate with him as we were, readi-
ly see, on acquaintance with his mother,
that the great source of his wit and hu-
NOR was a maternal one. We have sew
eral hundreds of the unpublished letters
of aArtemus, which although mostly of
private nature, are many of them equal
if not superior to those already made
public. Mrs. Browne has also large
number of his letters and other unpub-
lished manuscripts, all of which we pro-
pose to give to the world, ere long, in
book form. Artemus was our friend,
dear and intimate. We understood him,
and appreciated him. His first attempts
at lecturing were made at our suggestion
and under our auspices. In showmen
parlance we drought him out" and it is
not too much to claim that our money and
perhaps business tact had quite as much
to do with his pecuniary, if not his lit
erary success, as did his immortal genius.
He died in England, leaving large
amount of property to his mother, and
for various charitable purposes. This
property, we understand, is very liable,
from present appearances, to be divert
ed from the purposes and uses for which
it was intended, and TO disappear, if not
dishonesty, at any rate mysteriously, to
say the least. For the sake of mother
dependent upon it, and for the good
names of those who have professed to be
the friends of our friend, we hope that
this is not so. But it is duty which
We owe to him, and for his sake, to those
he loved best, to probe the matter to the
bottom, and we intend to do it thorough
ly. We know that the whole literary
world will aid us. and forever hold in ut
ter detestation the men who seek to rob
the mother of Artemus Ward of even a
penny, and if such man exists his name
shall be made eternally infamous. Let
us havea a report at once from the English
Executors. Why have not the frequent
and urgent letters of Mrs. Browne been
answered? Where is the property left by
Artemus Ward? Let the answers be
prompt and explicit, and if possible sat-
