MRS. RICHARDSON AND HER LIFE
Nj Richardson, of the Boston Congrega-
tionalist, brings into contrast the fact of
murderer Netherlands having been pick
ed up in. the New York streets the other
day, drunk, with the life and character OF
his former wife, now the widow of Mr..
Richardson's brother, saying OF her: Mrs.
Albert d. Richardson, since the death OF
her !amented husband, has devoted herself
most assiduously TO the care of his child
ren and her own youngest son, the other
being still in the possession of his father.
The family live at Newark, on the place
which was owned BY MIR. Richardson, but
has since been Sold Mrs. Richardson has
steadily gained the affection and esteem
of al her husbands friends, by her great
energy and skill, and her untiring efforts
in giving osechildren daily instruction
and in developing their best elements Of
character. She has abundant ability and
culture to win good income in literary
pursuits, but these domestic cares have
allowed little effort in that direction
Besides occasional newspaper articles, she
has, however, nearly compiled volume
OF posthumous papers from MIR. Richard
sons pen, left by him in an imperfect state
and she has also 10 progress another liter
ary work, which it is hoped will meet with
public favor.

JESSIE Fremont. "A Washington cor
respondent writes as follows concerning
the wife of Gen. Fremont, who keeps
house in that city this Winter:
"Mrs Fremont has the temperament
and intellect of her farther, Col. Benton.
She is the powerful force in social life
that he was in the Senate. She is q
w.Dlan Of the world, who to her love of
pomp and circumstance has never sacri-
feed the domestic virtues She loves her
husband with the absorbing love which
made her brave her fathers ire to marry
him, and absolute devotion to his interests
has been the prevailing passion Of her life
Yet she loves power, as q daughter OF
Benton must loyeit; and her fine presence,
flashing wit, and comprehensive converse
tional power, with her kindling magnetism
of manner, male her always mistress of it.
In our later days she revives the splendor
of the old regime, when the lines Of social
distinction were more keenly drawn than
now, and when women in official circles,
With glimmering jewels and pwdered hair,
renewed in Young America the courtly
praces Of the old aristccracies. Mrs. Fre-

How CoNGREssMEN USED TO GO TO
THE CAPITAL.--ln the olden time, lays a
Washington correspondent. the wealthy
Senators and Representatives used to jour
ney hither from their homes in tier own
Carriages, which they thus had for their
use during the season in this city of mag
ni6cent distances. Rufus King used to
come with his four bays; the four iron
grays which Jackson drove from the Her
mitage, when he was Senator, have never
been surpassed and Calhoun's four-in-
hand chestnuts, which brought him aud
his fam4y from Fort Hall. were much
admired. Henry Clay, when he was first
member of the House, rode Fl ON Ashland
h. re on a thoroughbred colt of his own
raising, and it took him longer to get there
than it now does California member Of
Congress to C, me by rail from the Golden
Gate. Now a-days those CongreSlnen who
keei carriages bring their establishments
by rail or have them come by steamer
So the 6ne-stepping grays Of Senator Ed
monds came from Vermont fresh and in
good condition, aud the bays of Represen-
ative Hooper were on Pennsylvania Avenue
the third morning after they left the tor
tuous streets of Boston, while bafa dozen
or more turnouts that last week graced
Central Park, are now 10 be seen on our
new rural drive in the grounds of the
Soldiers Home.

tons, the Yates, the Chambers and other

lov-d and honered chief by associating
hin with the most despised and detested
renegade that ever spawned on the bosom

The only safety to miners, as against
the encroachmcnts of the railroad company
and agricultural settlers, is to patent their
claims as speedily as possible. That set
ties the matter of ownership Of mine,
whether placer or quartz, definitely and
beyond all question. Parties who are
holding claims with the intention of selling,
ought to be aware that capitalists will not
invest where there is the leas. shadow of
doubt in regard to the title. A patent for
a mine will donble its market value, at least,
and prevent all dispute and litigation in
the future. If the miners refuse to protect
their own interests, when every facility for
so doing is offered, they will yet find that
they have been "penny wise and pound
foolish. h.'-Chronicle.

SIcKLEs AND MCFARLAND TRIALS
Judge Walton, in his charge to the jury
in the Hoswell case, at Augusta (Me. J,
laid down the law for jealous husbands in
a style that would seem rather odd in this
latitude. The ground taken by tbs Judge
is that the law against murder is just
law, and that the penalty must be enforced
upon the criminal, no matter what his
provocation may have been. In the pres
ent instance the killing appears to have
been done when the prisoner had reason to
believe that his victim was in the act Of
adultery with his wife, Judge Walton
was ''by no means certain that the prison
er was pot led to commit the fatal act by
his knowledge Of the result of Sickles and
Mcfarland trials, and that those cases
have been the cause of many murders =
These cases." continued the Judge, "are
useful only as beacons to warn juries
against similar verdicts. Their great no.
toriety is owing to the fact that they were
decidedly wrong. Intelligent and honest
jurors should know them to shun them
My belief is that lenity to such offenders
is cruelty to the innocent; that the intro
duction of lax administration of criminal
law sacrifices more lives than it saves"

PREVENT LAMP CH1MsEYs FRol

PREVENT LAMP CHIMNEYs FROM
BREAKING.-Every housewife, who uses
kerosene oil knows that it affords the best
and cheapest light of all illun mating oils.
But she also knows that the constant ex-
pense and annoyance from the breaking of
lamp chimneys, almost if not quite coun-
terbalances the advantages Of its use. Put
the lamp chimney IN lukewarm water, heat
it to boiling point, and boil one hour
after which leave it in the water till it
cools. The chimney will be less liable to
crack by sudden change of temperature.

.TREATINC.n

If there is anything absurder than this
habit, We are unable to put our finger on it.
Men do not always "treat" one another to
car tickets because they happen to meet
on the same seat. We never saw man
take out his pocket-book on encountering an
acquaintance, al d say, "Ah, George! De-
lighted to see you! Do take few postage
stamps! It's my treatr' Do men have
mania tor paving each others bard
bill? And is drinking together more $50
cial' than eating to- ether or sleeping to-
gether?
A tIavaler may go all over the couti-
nents OF Europe, of Asia, and Of Africa.
without seeing any man, except'a a Yankee,
offer to "treat," and the Frenchmen are
quite social enough; but when they go to
a cafe to sip their wine or branded cof-
tee together, each man pays for bis own.
When two Germans, long separated, meet,
they will be very likely to embrace, and
then to turn into an adjacent beer cellar,
sit down and drink lager and eat pretzels
and chat; but when they part again each
man settles his own score independently
So in Italy The Italians are proyerbially
merry and generous but each man pays for
his own wine, maccaroni and cigars. They
never 60 into each others pocket book in
the sacred name of friendship. They
would as soon think of transferring to each
other their washerwoman bills.
The preposte GUS fashion Of creating"
is responsible for the terrible drunkenness
in America. There would be as little need
of temperance societies and little work for
the Good Temrlars as there is in Germany
France and Italy, if this pernicious and
insidious kabit was abolished. 1t is, take
it all in all, the most ridiculous, the most
unreasonable, and the most pestilent custom
that ever laid its tyrannical hand on civil
lized human beings.-Exchange.
