A Wifc'S RcVcngc.

On thursday evening last, q ter,
riblc tragedy was enacted in Sa
vannah, which was the general
topic Of discussion there. Sue
Hungcrtord, one Of tho dcmi ~ onde
about twcnly-tonr years Of age,
living at the corner Of William
and Fanncr-strects, was attacked
by Mrs. John u StaIcy, whose
husband had been acting rs Il
"fricnd' to tho girl, and cut her
eleven times with II knife. 1t
seems that sometime ago, Mr..
John \. StaIcy, II man advanced
in years. and the husband Of the
person who made the assault, in
his capacity Of agent, hnd the let,
ting Of the house in which Mrs.
FognrLy lives. While collecting
rents he fell in with Sue Hunger
ford, and formed hcracquaintancc.
lie neglected his lawful wife for
her. Day after day the wife sat
and broodcd over her deep wrong,
until maddcncd with desperation,
she resolved to take her ri~arS
life. She went upon her mission
accompanied by her son, and II
young man named Geo. Ta,cm.
SO soon as the facts in the above
case became generally known, Il
warrant was issued by Justice S.
Elsingcr for tho arrest Of Mrs.
Jane Stalcy, who was subsequent,
~ released on bail TO thc amount
Of twrnty.acvcn thousand dollars,
TO appear whenever called upon
to answer for tho ohcnso. Her
bondsmcn were her husband, j ohm
A. Stalcy, Robert IL. Talcm and
Colonel j. j.. Pclo(. In the mean
time, the condition Of the wound
ed girl is indeed critical. She has
lost Il great deal Of blood, and at
times finds great difficulty in re-
spring from tho first stab sho re-
ccivcd, which has probably passed
directly through tho lung, and
has suffered acutcly, having three
spasms, ono after the other.

A youngster attending school I'm

following characteristic letter:
DEAR MOTHER: got another
licking yesterday, but had on three
pair of fpants, and 1t didn't hurt much.
| was licked because / put six pins

would not stick him, and l made

out after dark, and, If Jack IL as
good after him as he il after cats i
won't get licked any more. zack and
killed three cats Sunday, though l
was at Sunday School and Church
all day, and 1t wasn't good day for
killing cats either. This makes tha
third licking | got this week. One
was because had bottle of milk in

said that negro wasadark subject to

Marriage.

Some genius who has more reason
than romance. and more tigurative
facts than poetic fancy, says, in Ap-
1ieton's Journal that marriages occur
in accordance with large general
ercise no authority, and that In mum
Der they are i'm nowise affected by
the temper and wishes of the PEOPLE.
Think OF this, young Romeos and
Juliets, who believe that marriages
are made in heaven" but take cour.
age and read, for all the figures are
not, If the fates are, against you.
This statistical bear says the average
age Of women, when they marry, is
26. 40 years and of one hundred who
reach this age, twenty-one will new
er marry. More women than men
get married for of one hundred of
the latter who reach the marriage age
of 26.5 years, twenty two will die
bachelors. Thus about one-fifth of
our people are doomed to die un-
welded, whether they prefer it or
not. The rule seems TO be that about
one in three widowers, aud one In
four widows remarry, or one huns
dred marriages, about thirteen of the
men will be widowers, and only
eleven will be widows, the bachelors
numbering eighty.seven and the
| spinsters eighty nine. Spinsters
have better success against widows
In the hunt for husbands, than bach
elors have against widowers in the
winning of wives. In one hundred
marriages, tweniy-four have pre-
viOusly been married, aud about
| nineteen will be under age. the re-
mainder VIII be bachelors and spin
iers of the average of 29.5 for the
former, and % 40 for the latter.
Any young lady or gentleman who
Is anxious upon the subject may tell
what her or his chances of marriage
are, or have been, by consulting this
statement of figures In every
thousand marriages, there 8 hus.
bands and 179 wives under 20 years
Of age; 292 husbands and i34 wives
between 20 and 25 years of age; 3iS
husbands and 226 wives between 25
and 80 years OF ug9; l72 husbands
and 81 wives between 30 and So years
of age; 80 husbands and 43 wives be-
tween 35 and AZ years of age; "A hus.
bands and 20 wives between 40 and
! ~ DtiiS VI hSt - huSDhlihS anu .
wives between As and SO years of
age; II husbands aud wives be.
tween 90 and 55 years of age; aud 6
husbands and l wife between 55 an 60
years of age. The remainder, nine
men and five women, will be scatt-
cred along between go and so years
all age at which almost any one
would be expected to know better.
From the above it will be seen that
young ladies' rush into the matrimo-
nial business much sooner than
young men, but do not continue i'm
it as long, and that the desire as well
as the opportunity for marrying falls
off rapidly in both sexes after thirty.
Every woman living between the
ages of fifteen and forty-fve, has
twenty-five chances in one hundred
of dying an old maid; that il, her
chances of marriage are as four t.
one. This is just enough tn give
them NIL hope, and not sufficient to
drive any to despair. Des Moiae0
