A Uhioago Wife Meets lier Rlval.
About dusk on Thursday evening
q woman was observed pacing up and
down the waiting room in tho St.
Louis depot. Shs seemed to be cx-
cited, and very anxious for tue train
to arrive, as ut every sound she went
to the window and looked ,ut. When
the train came in she gHt behind a
door, and closely scrutiniSsd the pas
sengers us they passed ai"bS. Nearly
; tho last one went through the door
leading to the street was 4 very pret-
ty young woman, about seventeen
} ears Of age. The woma, rushed up
to this lady and took hrrt by tho ear, -,
calling her "hussy," say ing,
"Pve been waiting for you somo time"
Sho led her victim along Canal to
Madison street, sill holding on to
her ear. Several gentlemen, witness
es to this extraordinary proceeding,
imagining that the womaui was pro-
curess, or intended to harm tho young
lady, pursued tho pair and stopped
them. They demanded to know
what the young lady had dope that
sho should be treated in that manner,
and the woman told thom, She, said
she was married and lived in Chica-
90. The girl resided in Bloomington,
and had been flirting with her hus-
band and corresponding with him.
The other day letter .camo to her
house, addressed to hers husband,
and us her lord was, away she
opened it. 1t was from this girl, aud
she said she would arrivein Chicago
by that train, and requested him to
meet her at the depot. She had met
her, and intended to confront her
husband and shame him.. Tho story
was told Ia such manner as to place
its truth beyond question, so the cou. .
pie we're permitted to depart, tho
woman still retaining her hold on the
ear Of the one who bad destroyed her
happiness. and monopolized tho affec-
tions of her husband.

In the decades from 1880 to 1910 the
Increase Of our tonnage in the foreign
carrying trade was about sixty per
cent from 1910 to 1850, seyenty-five
per cont and from 1850 to 1860,
sixty per cent. Tho increase in tho
last decade was twenty percent over
that Of Great Britain, or tonnage
engaged in the foreign trade reached
its highest point in ia5l, when it etas
2,642,G28 tons. That of Great
Britain at the same time was 3,l79,-
683 tons. We held tho second rank
among nations, and approached the
first in the extent of tonnage engaged
In foreign trade. In the total ton
mage registered and enrolled we be-
lieve we stood first. From 1861 to
1866 our tonnage engaged in foreign
trade declined to ,972,9 ,926 tons, being
a loss of l,l49,9O2 tons. Great
Britain gained in tho same time
9S4,7l5 tons. The, cause of this loss
to US and gain to Great Britain as a
consequence, in great measure, was,
wo all know, the war and those rebel
cruisers which were, let loose upon
American commerce by England. -

! Senator Revels, of Mississippi,
Gree man Of color), has given Sena.
tor Sumner another lesson in political
ethics and the rights oe man. The
colored Senator, with others of the
Mississippi delegation, induced the
President to delay signing the bill for
the admission Of Mississippi until a
| bill for the removal Of political disa-
bilitios shall have passed both houses,
! some of the members of the ,delega.
tion being numbered at present among
the politically disabled. Senator
] Revels comes to his Senatorial duty
with the right spirit, and his Ethiopi-
an ethics should put Sumner to the
blush. If he continues in this way
he may eventually take the radical
/; leadership himself and cut loose from
Summers theories.-N. Y. Heratd.
