HORACE GREELEY has said at once
wise, witty and magnanimous thing
ln telling his enemies in the Rspubll-
can party Of New York State how they
can "hIt him good lick" He is now
a candidate for comptroller on the New
York Republican ticket, and he advises
all Republicans who don't like him that
"they can only feed fat their grudge by
voting and bringing up others TO vote
tho Republican State ticket with his
name scratched of. Staying away from
the polls will not answer the purpose
as no one can tell that the blow
WAS not aimed at General SIgel or
some other candidate; but going to the
polls and voting for the ticket with the
obnoxious name erased from It will do
the business. When q candidate falls
behind his ticket, every one can see
what Is meant and who IL aimed at, and
candidates who run behind are not
likely to be nominated again. He
humorously suggests In addition that
'as some OF these anti Greeley Repub>
llcans are not very bright the readers
Of the Tribune will do a missionary
work by pressing this view OF the case
upon them.

(Concluded).

A month after this, | had been out for
the day TO a picnic with my wife. We
had both enjoyed ourselves hugely, and
come home flushed with the summer heat
and braced up with the fresh air. | had
got over all my qualms about the posses
sion of the property, and begun to look
upon it as promising a very acceptable
addition to my income. I am not sure |
had not been regarding the scenery of
trees and sky and ripping water with
something of unusual complacency, for
feeling that the acquisition of a thousand
pounds removed me SO much the farther
from anxiety as to enable me 10 enjoy it
In the greater peace.
Agreato blong official blue letter awaited
my return. It contained a blow-most
letters dated from B~asinghall Street do.

Once more | swore and I went before a
notary, who had the biggest kind of a
Bible, so as to make the oath more blnd-
ing, that never would I speak dIspara-
gingIy of any Chicago woman to any
Chicago man. After that felt better,
and for two weeks avoided making any
more mistakes. At the end Of that time,
however, I met the new and angular Mrs.
De worse, to whom I had in the mean
time been introduced. having the liyliest
kind of "a quarrel with a big, prize fight
ing looking fellow who was apparently
on the point of knocking her down. OF
course | flew to her rescue and demanded
to know of the fellow what he meant;
also if he was aware who that lady Was,
and who her husband was? To which he
briefly senttntiously, but, as it struck me,
irreIevantIy remarked Hell! I paid no
further attention to him but turning to
Mrs. De Worse, said, Madam permit
me to protect you from that %rufian's in
SCIENCE Instead Of thanking me she ac-
tualIy slapped my face, and said, I'll
teach you 10 interfere between man and
wife. That's my husband, and we've

hard thing if a wife can't step in the
street to speak to her husband without
having some idiot come and make a muss
about it, Now continued the lawyer,
'this is not only a true story, but it is a
fair example Of the continued trouble
that man gets into who lives in Chicago,
and doSen't know how to hold his tongue.
You now understand why l hate the Chi
,cago customs. and why / go in for indls-
soluble marriages | never made a mistake
in asking a man about his wife the whole
time I lived in New York but here | have
got into more awkward places and had
more fights than | can count just because
no mar or woman stays married more than
a month at furthest.' We drank weak
lemonade together in solemn thoughtful
ness, and I parted from him with the
feeling that bad as it is TO be indissolubly
connected with an unpleasant mother-in-
law, it is better than to be constantly
bothered by a change of wife.

HOW THEY MARRY IN CHICAGO.

The Mobile Register publishes the heart
rendering experiences Off Chicago lawyer,
who was prospecting for a wife:-"I first
came to Chicago fifteen years ago. Then
| was young and innocent, which it is
hardly necessary TO say that I am not at
present. ! had a friend living here whom
I has known while he resided in New
York. and conducted himself like q CT
, 1869-11-16

and his wife when | came to Chicago. l
remembered the invitation when i did
visit that city, and Immediately on my
arrival proceeded to his house. lie Was
not al home just at the mom"nt and so
asked to see his wife, whom | Ina known
only a year before in NV York. In
answer 10 my Inquiry for Mrs. De Worse,
a pretty blackeyed girl came into the
drawing room and received me quite
warmly. Well, we chatted very deasan'ly
together until my friend came in and
really felt myself beginning to experience
a very aftctionate impulse towards her,
supposing, of course, that she was his
niece, or cousin, or uncle, or something
of that sort. But in the course of the
evening l asked him whether If his wife
was at home, aud if so when he proposed
to let me see her? To my establishment,
he replied, 'ThiS lady is Mrs. De Worse!
I thought you were already aware OF the
fact OF course I bIushed and felt hor-
ribIy uncomfortable, and said that was
not aware that he lost poor Emily. Oh
said he, Emily is very we'll, aud has mar
ried a partner of mine. We were divorced,
YOU know, about six months ago. and [
married my present wife only last week.
Well, | didn't feel quite so afftcIionale
towards her after that, for | had been
warmly attached to Emily but we said
no more about the matter, and | went
away, avowing never 10 get myself into
such a scrape again by asking after any,
body's wife. / did Eot see my friends
new wife for about a month afterwards,
until | one day met her in the house Of a
mutual acquaintance, and in the course
of conversation said to her, BY the way,
might l ask you TO say to your husband
that [ want him to come to my office some
day next week3' 4 don't think you know
my husband she replied smiIingIy.'
What do you mean 2 said l, getting
rather nervous. why, ny new husband
is named Smith, she answered.. i was
separated from Mr.. De Worse yesterday
morning, and married Mr.. Smith last
night | left that house pretty rapidly,
and registered a second vow, to the effect
that | would never, to my dying day, ask
a Chicago lady about her husband again.
The two mistakes | had already made as
to Chicago wives and husbands made me
decidedly shy of them.-But the very
next day [ went into De V0rse's store
(corn pork, and provisions,) and found
him engaged in conversation with a ter
ribly angular female, who looked like a
compound of a New England old maid,
a Western woman's rights lecturer, and
an Arkansas squarter's wife. Of course
I pitied my friend, and when that terrible
female had departed, l remarked, I con-
graduate you on your escape /; that hor-
rible female would have exhausted any
mans patience in ten moments CONVEX
