The Davenport Democrat has a
jolly story Of course Of matrimonial
hlesss dncss tina; didn't run smooth.
Hans is good at pitch, but not sue
cess a. a provider. He won't make
any money for himself, and spends
what Gretchen makes. She inter
viewed u druggist. He promised
arsenic, smell n rat, put lians on his
guard. gave Gretchen starch insts all
OF the lethai poison. The tenose-
ineni Is chronicled i'm the words ioI-
lowing, ( wit:
Hans threw up his hand and went
home. 1t was somewhat late, and he
could risk IL lor All hour or NO by
the side OF the would-be inurderess.
The ~ 1t day everything moved on
just the same. Hans didn't Eat a
very hearty breakfast. and went up
town 10 buy his provender. AT din
nar-time he came home, hungry, and
pitched into the vic;uaIs with un-
speakable avidity. His jaws soon
lighted on the treacherous starch.
He gave a yell, and doubled himself
up like u wounded boa constructor.
He fell on the floor and had sI'asms.
In short, he took on scOllOps high.
His wife sat by enjoying the sptvta-
Gle, and tenderly enquiring. WAT is
der matter nit IIans:' When he
had become insensible, she went up
stairs, three at u time, and let down
u good-si rope through AN auger-
hole, into the r,Un where Hans lay.
Then she came down and fastened
the rope around his neck. proppt.d
him up in a sitting position, and
again went up stairs. But Hans had
an inkling Of her fell intent: and
coming to himself, with remarkable
presence Of mind he quickly undid
the moose from his neck and slipped
il around the ley Of the dinncr-table;
then he calmly sat down in chair
and awaited Developments. The
way that table lit across the floor,
the next minute, WAS caution. IL
Was yanked all out Of shape, and
every dish on IL smashed into n thou
sand pieces. and then the piece Of
furniture drawn tight mp against the
ceiling. Soon after WAS heard the
voice Of his beloved wife from the
upper chamber window, calling ont
ia accents III grief that her dear lord
had committed suicide, and the
neighbors commenced to run toward
the house. Coming down stairs She
met the irate Hans. who advanced
threa;euingly. brandishing q formid-
able switch, with which he prHeetl-
ed tn leiahOr her nsnst numerically.
Gretchen could not see show IL come.
20 was" that Hans could swallow
poison with inlpunitv: and gives Il
mp rs a bad job. Hans enjoys his
customary evening game, and has
his opinion Of a man who can't gov
ern his household.

damage the prospects Or the bill? Or
was 1t inslinctively felt that the
cdious ranking privilege was best
buried in silence?
Or was ii felt that debate might
lead to change and compromise:
Better perhaps had some mOdifica-
tons been introduced into bill that
must lie modified when IL comes to
the Senate. a good old deacon used
To remark that the devil does all he
can to keep men from coming square
ly up to the line OF duty; but ii they
would come to that line, he would
endeayor to push them over. Some
thing like this has happened TO our
Representatives. They received with
an III grace the csiticisfns' al the
Postmaster General O. the Thinking
privilege; 50 FAR rs we en- learn they
are not greatly pleased 1t the popular
petitions for the abolition OF that
abuse. But as they must do some
thing. they overdO. Pressed by the
Postmaster General and the people

abolish with the greatest haste all
Thanking privileges.
This Is not just what the Postmas-
ter Generai or the people have re
Quested. Quite questionable Is the
propriety Of denying to the local pa
per, hard pressed by the competition
OF our city Journals, all the little
boon Of free circulation in the county
where it il issued. Will serious
evils arise from continuing TO accord
70 postmasters the guarded privilege
Of sending free let>en On official
business. 1t may not Presse detri-
mental to the general god TO CON-
tinue to editors the privilege Of re-
ceivSng exchanges p0st-free. These
are not matters Of public complaint.
Grievous abuses do not lurk under
these franks. :
When this bill shall come before
the Senate, we may hope for debate
and notifications. Let the public
utterance 10 favor Of abolishing the
great evil be clear and sustained.

ANNExATIoN.-The people of In
dependence, held a meeting at the
School House, on Saturday evening,
and appointed a committee of three
to circulate for signatures to paper,
demonstrating against the proposition
to annex that suburb to Evansville.
They will probably have heavy
lobby in the Council Chamber this
evening, to prevent being merged into
the metropolis.
