ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. - The Chicago
Tribune Of the 18th contains the following
CAIRo's BOUNTY.

CAIRos BOUNTY.
Our friends in Cairo feel hurt at tho
neglect of the Chicago papers in not
acknowledging the generous promp.itude
that characterized that city in despa,ching
to this city two car loads Of provisions for
the sufferers before the fire had ceased its
ruvages. Within one hour Of the receipt
of the intelligence of our calamity, 81 900
had been subscribed, and succor was on its
way hither. Our friends must bear in
mind that all the newspaper offices in the
city were destroyed, and, though the
spirit is willing, the opportunities arc
sometimes wanting, We are grateful to
Cairo, and though, perhaps, little Into in
acknowledging their bounty, we cheersully
do so now.
All right. We knew a proper ac-
Acknowledgement Of the prompt action Of
our citizens on this occasion would be
made. -

Mrs. Hoppe was discharged and left the
court. Hoppe, after the trial, sat down ut

about the matter, became excited and be-

the two he was the most crazy.

A BRUTAL HUsBASD.-In the county
court yesterday there was tried case
that, for down right outrage upon an in
nocent and injured woman, has not par
allel in the record Of Alexander county
One +. G. Hoppe, German miller, filed
with the court an affidavit that his wife.
Mrs. Minnie Hoppe, sprightly and
rather good-looking woman ofabout TWEEN
ty-one years Of age, was insane. and dan
gcrous to the community in which che re-
sides. At o'clock, the hour lot
for hearing the case, the parties were all
in court. The testimony Of the several
witnesses went to prove beyond doubt
that if there was anything like insanity
the matter with the woman, it was caused
by ill-treAtment received st the hands of
her husband. 1t was proven tina, he
would come home TO his meals, and if
matters about the house were not just MS
he thought they ought to be, he would
become excited and make their home a
perfect bedlam. On one occasion, when
his wife was sick, he came home, and seeing
some delicacies setting on the table, he
asked where they came from. H.s
| wife told him that her mother
had sent them to her, when he in.
continently gobbled them up and threw
them out of the house. We were also in
Toned on good authority that he was in
the habit of whipping, and in various
ways msltreating the poor woman. IL
seems Hoppe Wac once befor" married and
that he would go to his present wife and
tell her that they were not legally mar
ried, and that he could kick her out at
ans time, and that nothing could be done
with him for it.
At the close If the testimony the jury
retired, and after an absence Of about ten
minutes returned the following verdict:
In the matter Of Mrs. Minnie Hoppe, al-
legged to be insane. State of llIinois,
Alexander county, S.:
We, the undersigned, jurors in the case
Of Mrs. Minnie Hoppe alleged TO be In
case. are satisfied that said Mrs. Minnl'
Hoppe is not insane, and that her present
state of excitement is caused entirely from
the bad treatment Of her husband.

The Bloom of Age.

A good woman never grows old
Years may pass over her head, but
if benevolence and virtue dwell in
her heart, she is as cheerful as when
the spring of life first opened to her
view. When we look upon a good
woman, we never think of her age,
she looks as charming as when the
rose of youth first bloomed on her
cheek. That rose has not faded yet
it will never fade. In her neighbor-
hood she is the friend and benefac-
tor. In the church the devout wor-
shipper and exemplary Christian.
Who does not love and respect the
woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy-who
has been the friend of man and God
whose whole life has been scene
of kindness and love, devotion to
truth and religion? We repeat such
a woman cannot grow old. She will
always be fresh and buoyant in
spirits, and active in humble deeds
of mercy and benevolence. If the
young lady desires to retain the
bloom and beauty of youth, let her
not yield to the sway of fashion and
folly; let her love truth and virtue:
and to the close of life she will re
tain those feelings which now make
life appear a garden of sweets
ever fresh and ever new.

{" PLAYED Out y

Is a gamblers slang phrase, but
how significant! Here is young
man who was once the pride of his
mother and the hope of his father,
now ''played OUT profiigate. Here
is a politician who was once respect
able and respected, now a corrupt,
besotted, l'played OUT vagabond.
Here is poet, artist and musician,
one who once stood at the head of
a large social circle, and was popu-
lar with all who knew him; he be-
came vain of his gifts and acquire
ments, and ventured on course of
irregular life, which soon led to dis
sipation and finally, to his present
fallen condition, a played out"
genius. There are many ''played
out boys. They were well started
in life, having well-formed bodies
and brains, and inheriting condi-
tions favorable to make them men.
But by bad habits they have ruined
themselves, and are now tburned
