An UxOriOus Husbund.

There is nothing which women appreciate
more than unexpected little presents from
husbands or lovers, selected and bestowed
with that tact which is the offspring of true
tenderness. Sometimes, however, the ut
most care on the part of the giver fails to give
sa aisfacton, and woman, uncertain, coy, and
hard to please" receives colby the tribute of
affection, and in very different spirit from
that in which it is laid at her feet. From a
case which came before he high ourt, Ed
inburgh, it seems that a certain Mr.. David
Macrae, a contractor at Tain, lately met with
disappointment in this line. Having de-
spatched by railway train box addressed to
his wife, who lives at Saughton Hall, near
Edinburgh, he playfully indited a letter, pur-
porting to be from that lady's mother, iIti-
mating that box containing wearing appar-
ell would be found by her at the railway sta
ton. Mrs. Macrae appears to have beer fully
awake to her husbands affectionate ruse,
and, suspecting the box was sent by him, OBJ
tanned the assistance of the railway officials to
open it carefully; and, indeed, some careful
ness was advisable in handling the precious
cadeau, for on being opened its contents were
found to be a. follows: One loaded pistol. At
pounds of blasting powder, 2t ounces Of gun.
powder, and liberal supply of broken bottle
glass. To prevent the possibility of the value
of these gifts being overlooked in hurry, the
pistol was set at full cock with cap on the
nipple, and there was string fastened to the
trigger in such manner that whoever at
tempted to open the lid could scarcely fail to
pull the string, and thus, by firing the pistol,
cause the powder no explode. Mr.. Macrae
would doubtless have given full explana-
| ton of the reasons which prompted him to
make this touching display of conjugal affec-
| tion but he unfortunately failed to appear to
answer to a charge of attempting to murder
his wife. His bail bond was accordingly de-
clared forfeited, and sentence OF outlawry pro-
nounced against him. Although perhaps he
may not be much missed in his domestic ci--
I Gle, it is impossible not to feel passing re-
gret that owing to his having been let out on
bail, justice was not allowed the pleasure of
further cultivatins the acquaintance of this
| loving husband

Louisville Herald,
A Mu e Story.

Yesterday evening an untutored mule, at
tached to one OF the East End and Broadway
cars, turned around to look back as it was 90
ing in from Second on to jefferson. The car
stopped, and the mule would have walked sto
the rear end but for the intelligent driver,
who pulled hard ON the gee rein and gave
him such whack with the car-hook that he
bounded straight forward like slung-shot.
Then he bounded back like a return ball. Just
in time to get the other end of the hook, and
renewed the forward movement with such
force that the rebound brought him up in a
collapsed condition against the breastwork Of
the car. The driver looked shaky, the nal,
seemed anxious to go somewhere and Just
then two more cars came up and stopped to
see what was going on. A large crowd came
up too, aid young man in nice clothes, who
looked as if he might be an agent of the hui
name society, patted the creature on
the neck, took him gently by the
bit and told him to ''come." He only asked
him orce, and the mule went. When they
picked the young gentleman up, and put his
hat on again, and wanted to know il he was
much hurt, he said he thought it wouldn't be
more than two ribs and a collar-bone, and
then tainted away. He was carried to the
nearest drug store just, as three more cars
came up, and the number of spectators in
creased TO 300. The six drivers then formed
hollow square, with the mule in the center,
and for about three minutes the gentle crea-
ture went forward and backward with We
locity that seemed marvellous; but something
broke, and he skinned out of his harness
and disappeared around the corner of Second
and Market like shot from mountain how
itzer. Then the six intelligent drivers ptt
their shoulders to the car and pushed it over
the grade. When this was done the repent
ant mule was brought back, hitched up, and
trotted away with his load, and everybody
wanted to know of everybody else why they
didn't do that in the first place?

Fell Out of a Window Jacob Jane
son, butcher boarding at the boarding. house
OF Geo. ZeigleT, on the corner of Arch and
Coghan streets, had fearful fall, on Monday
night last, and q very narrow escape from
death. 1t appears that he occasionally walks
in his sleep, and it was while sleep-walking
that tho accident occurred. It appears that
he came TO the house shortly after ten o'clock,
and remained in conversation with Mr. Zeigler
for some time, when he bade him good night
and retired to bed apparently all right. After
going to his room, occupied also by three 9TH
er5, he retired, as he says, thinking of getting
up early and going to the shop. He soon fell
asleep, and knew no more until he had fallen
from the window, which is long half-oval
one in the gable end of the building over 30
feet from the ground. One of his room mates
being awake, saw him got up and walk about
the room and then approach the window, but
supposed he was going there to get air, when
he suddenly climbed through and disappeared.
He at once gave the alarm, and Mr.. Zeigler
hurried to the assistance of the injured man,
whom he found lying upon the board walk
close by post, and groaning with pain. He
was taken up and carried into the basement,
a physician sent for and his injuries attended
to. He was found to have bruise upon his
left check, and the heel of his left foot was
split open, his left hip bruised, md his back
50 badly injured that it was at first thought to
bo broken. He suffered considerably from
pains in his back and bowels, but on Tuesday
appeared comparatively easy, and could tuln
himself, although he could not be lifted. His
friends at Dayton, Ohio, were telegraphed to.

The Sawyer -Notwithstand-
ing the evidence before the Coroner's inquest,
and the finding of the jury, there was yet IN
impression existing, to some extent, that tho
unfortunate man had committed suicide. This
question has been finally settled by close and
critical examination of the murdered man, by
Prof. Thayer, of Cleveland On Tuesday last
this gentleman was called to Bellevue, the
body of the murdered man exhumed, and sub
mitted to him for dissection. The skull was
removed and the presence Of extravnssated
blood found clottod upon tho brain; tho lungs
were also removed and subjected to tests
which showed a total absence of Ggssa. FROM
his examination the Professor pronounced tac
opinion that violence sufficient TO produce
death had been used, and the absence of aqna
in the lungs was conclusive as to death having
occurred before the body was thrown into the
water. Thomas, the accused, will have his
examination in Norwalk to-day (Thursday,)
unless the witnesses for whom search has
been made, havs not been secured. Detectives
have several times got track of them, but as
often lost it again, and up to Wednesday ev-
ening they had not been secured.
