Unwilling TO BE SHOT.
Editors Farewell 10 His
Lady Friends.


Emotional insanity having been so
often pleaded successfully by husbands
in California in defence Of shooting or
knitting suspected gaIlants, the San
Francisco News Letter says:
"All mems wives who have hitherto
enioyed the advantage of our acqualnt-
ance are hereby notified that this ceases
TO-DAY, never to be renewed 1t is with
deep grief that we disrupt the social re-
lations which promise so much, but we
feel impelled thereto by the first law OF
nature. Our lady friends who have the
misfortune to be married to other and
inferior men will please stick like ieech
TO their legal protectors, and not recog-
n;ze us on the street We have taken
considerable pleasure in their society
a Measure which we fatter ourselves
has been mutual-but this thing can no
longer be permitted to 60 on. We trust
thai our motiye-which is pure coward
;ce-will not be misconstrued. Some
body perishes ingloriously every day Tor
being upon speaking terms with mar
r;ed women, and we do not care to nave
onr turn come round. Deeply grateful
for the past forbearance Of aggrlevea
husbands we make our bow and retire,
Hereafter our mods and smiles will be
lavished upon girls and widows exclu-
sively; no others need apply. whose o.
ever shall attempt to introduce us to his IN;
own wife, or that Of another man. Will
be regarded as conspiratCr against our ;1
precious life, and subjected to abuse in
the columns of this journal. Nature is
strong in us, and we do not WISH 10 a. e.
Whenever we shall feel a desire 'oa'
way, we Rhall treat somebody's TIle me
with common courtesy, get shot, ana ~
quietly to our reward.

Nothing in the Paper" :"

The following spicy chapter, on
the subject of newspapers, we clip
from an exchange-elicited, no
boubt, by the too frequent remarks
of the Indifferent reader, after pc
rusing the news of the day, "there's
nothing in che paper" 1t says:
And men are always grumbling
about their papers, and insinuating
how much better they could do it..
They talk as fIippantly about "fine
articles" on every imaginable sub
iect, as if they could effect such a
change. Let some of these over
running philosophers try it for one
hundred and fifty days in success
sion.
And then they think it is nothing
to select for a newspaper; you have
merely to run the scissors through
half dozen exchanges, and you
have got matter enough Now this
is the most important and most
difficult to fill on newspaper. Very
few men have the slightest idea how
to do the work. 1t requires a
thorough newspaper man-who
knows the public appetite well :
who knows what is going on in the
world, and who knows how to re-
write and pack column into doz-
en- lines.
Men who skim a newspaper and
toss it aside, little reflect how much
brains and toll have been expended
in serving up that meal. Busy heads
and busy hands have been toiling
all day to gather and prepare those
viands, and some vast building has
been lit from celler to garret, all
night, to get the paper ready for
the newsboy by crack of dawn.
Nothing in the paper" Moth
ing in your head that's what's the
matter.

White Mans Origin.

PATCHWORK QUILTS.
BY MRS. JENNIE HAzEN LEWIS.


Does it pay to cut bits of calico
in still smaller bits, and sew them
together to make bed-quilts ]
take the negative of this question.
| have known women to get into a
neighborhood quarrel over the re-
spective merits of their "JOb's
Troubles" "Stars and Rings,
"Wild- goose Chase" and "Peony''
bed quilts. kneE woman who
bought new white muslin, and red
and green calicoes, and pieced a
Peony quilt which occupied all her
spare time for three months. Then
she bought lining and batting
and put it on the frames, and hired
a gill to come to her house and
quilt it. 1t took six weeks Of the
girls time, and all hers that she
could spare from other labor.
And all to produce-what? Sim
ply red, white, and green abomi-
nation There was no beauty in
it. There was no warmth in it. 1t
soiled easily. 1t was laid in the
"blue chi5t,' and only brought out
to feast the enyious eyes Of yisi-
tors.
All the women of the immediate
neighborhood--that is for two
miles around-were mOrtally Of
Tended because they were not invi-
ted to help quilt it, So they set
themselves-one and all-at work
to produce something more hide
GUS still, than was famous "Peony"
quilt, They succeeded admirably,
and they all made "quilting,' from
which the owner of the obnoxious
quilt was religiously excluded
They had wonderful suppers and
very strong tea, and criticised their
absent neighbor in a-frtendly
manner.
Mrs, Pope had seen the said
quilt, and examined it "clus," and
the leaves were not of a size. Mrs.
Tinkham observed a good many
stitches that We're sot crooked and
Mrs. Twist had seen several spots
on it that looked like candle grease.
Louisa Hunt presumed they quilt
ed on it by candle light, "so's to
not give anybody a chance to see
it," and Susan Clark declared it
was perfect botch, not "nigh as
purity" as the one they mad been at
work on; and if she lived till next
Summer, she would show em a
quilt that would make their mouths
water. 1t was to be probably, a
muskmelon quilt. With this prom
ise Of the future glory Of the neigh
borhood, they separated.
Says one reader-"What shall we
do with our old dress skirts 7"
My reply is-you haven't any -
you've torn them into carpet rags
at least, you said you had, q year
ago, but if you have some yet,
which you don't need for aprons,
and they are not much worn, l ad-
wise you to make comfortables Of
them. Don't cut them up into
Herring Bone or "Cross-cut
Saws" but make one side of the
comfortable of one dress skirt, and
the lining, of another.
And don't quilt them, but tie
them with strong twine. 1t adds
much to their prettiness, to tie in
tufts of bright colored yarn. New
or put less than four pounds of
batting into one, SO that one of
them, with a pair Of blankets, will
be enough for one bed. 1t is bet
ter not to tic them very closely =
they are pleasanter TO sleep
under when they are soft and
light,
