LOVES LABOR LOST.

4 very labored effort is being made by
the Democrats to create belief that the
election of Mr.. Pinchback to the United
States Senate has caused a division in
our party ranks. The exac: contrary is
the truth. Perhaps the selection of no
other man could have left SO little conten.
ton or dispute or heart burnings. OF
course, there are disappointed persons
defeated candidates and their champions
who think better result could have been
attained: bu: at this writing. only twenty.
four hours after the decision OF the con.
test. scarcely trace even of this feeling
is observable. Mr.. Pinchback will prove
not only an able. but an acceptable repre-.
sentative Of the entire Republican party.
Senator Pinchbacis is having his ere.
dentials tastetully engrossed on parchment,
ready for the autograph Of Governor Kel-
iogg. and both he and Senator Ray will
soon be en- route 20 Washington to claim
their rights and to defend the rights of the
people they have striven so arduoUsly and
successfully to relieve from the shach!es of

A Cruel Husband.

4 lady. Of Croton, who had some troubles
with her husband determined to punish lin.
She had read in the paper. Of the revenge of a
Pennsylvania woman whose husband hal
struck her, and she determined to initiate the
females action. When the Pennsylvania wo-
man was struck she threw herself into tragic
attitude, and exclaimed, VILLAIN nothing
but death can wipe away the stain Of your
blow" Then she rushed out Of the honse, ran
to the canal, and throwing her hat and shawl
On the bank, flung in big stone, which made
loud splash. She then hid 10 the bushes and
watched with demoniac joy her husband and
party Of friends graphing for her body. When
she thonght she had sufficiently punished her
lord she made her appearance, and was receiv-
ed by him with demonstrations of joy, and he
begged her forgiveness, took her home, and
promised to be kind and loving to her forever.
The other day'the Croton woman had battle
royal with her husband He didn't strike her
he was too manly for that-but be said such
irritating things that she was driven 10 mad
ness luhuman monster 70 she shreked, Il
will never again rest beneath tie roof The
river bed shall be my tomb-its waters my
winding sheet" Out she rushed to the river,
which ran within a quarter cf a mile OF the
house, hrew her handkerchief on the. bauk--
she had neither bat nor shawl on. and then she
flung into the clear waters large stone. This
done she hid in some trees and awaited the
coming of the remorse-stricken husband. She
continued to wait for about eight hours; but
the remorseiul man didn't come. Horrible
thoughts began to agilate her mind Perhaps
! he had killed the children and then committed
suicide She could not bear the suspense lon
ger 1t was dark now, and she quietly stole
to the house. There were lights il it, and
everything looked as CHEEKY and pleasant as
usual. She crept to the window aud looked
/ in. There sat the remOrsc-stricken husband,
with his arm around the waist Of young lady
neghbor, aud be was saying: Jennie, the
Old woman got her back up to-day, and she
went off aud drowned herself Now, you see,
| don't want to break up housekeeping, aud if
you'll consent, why, wen get hitched in two
weeks. What do you sayY' "She shan't do
anything Of the Sort aud neither will you, you
miserable, unlcelius, heartess wretch !" came
from the wife as she dashed into the room -
For few minutes Jennie was tossed and tum-
bled about by the undrowoed woman in the
most horrid manner, and when Jennie retired
from the house she looked as though she bad
been through cardingmachiae. The Croton
woman DOESN'T intend trying any more senti-
mental experiments on aer husband but will
hereafter do all her fglhng in the old fashion
1t need hardly be mentioned that her husband
is not living in a state Of perfect and unalloycd
beatitude at presently T. Dispatch.

A valuable work on the west.

" The UndcUlopH Vest Or, Fire Years IN
the Territories" Being Complete History
of' that rast region 6eiceen He Mississippi
and the Pacific ByJ H. Beadie, Hestgn
Correspondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial,
cnd Autior Of "Life in Jfqb," etc., Pub
Hshed by the Adioaai Publishing Company
of Hdada,phia.
Mr. Beadle spent five years in the Great
West, for the especial purpose Of exploring the
country Setting out on foot, he traverscd the
States Of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska. Kansas
and Texas, as well as Dakotah and the Indian
Territory visiting in person all that was worth
seeing; examining the lands, living and con-
versiug with the people, and gaining for him
self a fund ofiulormation, based upon his own
observations and discoveries, more extensive
than one man in a million can obtain.
He explored the various routes of the Great
Pacific Railways, aud spent months with the
Indians, b.th friendly and hostile, studying
their character and habits. He allowed no
personal peril to deter him from the execution
Of his plan. These new States and Territories
contain iucomparably the grandest scenery in
the world, and some OF. the richest resources Of
the American Continent. Probably no other
man has ever journeyed go extensively among
them as Mr.. Beadlo-certaiuly no one SO com
petent to describe what he has seen. All sorts
Of people figure in this work, for it is brilliant
picture Of life an manners in the Great West
The hardy frontier farmer the wary hunter
and trapper; the reckless miner the cruel
and degraded savage; the hard-working
" Heatben Chinee;" the "much married
Mormon; the strange remnants Of the once
powerful Aztec racial these figure with the
uaturalncss Of life in this remarkable work.
1t is comprised in one large octave volume Of
S23 pages, and illustrated with 2lO fine ensra-
wings Of the lery, lands, miDes, people and
curiosites OF .he Great West, and new map
Of the region described. The book is sold by

THE BLESSINGS OF TO-DAY.

Strange, we never prize the music
Til the sweet-voiced birds have flown;
Strange, that we should slight the vio!ets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-haiso fair
As When winters snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day.
And sweet words that freightour memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to Us in sweeter accents,
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let US keep the wheat and roses.
Casting out the thorns and chaili
Let US ind our sweetest comfort
In the blessings OF the day,
With patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

Size Of the Human Head.

We Gnd in the Riuue ScienGfque a very iu-
teresting lecture delivered by Dr. Broca at a
late sitting Of the Anthrop,logicll Society Of
Paris The learned physoogi.t stated that in
1861 he had his attention called to the subject
Of tie influence Of education on the develop
mcnt Of the human head, and that, being sur
geon at Bicetre, at the time, he had measured
the heads Of the servants and the medical stu
dents at the establishment. About 1896, Par
chappe bad effected the measurement Of the
heads Of ten workmen, aud as many men Of
distinguished learning, and he found those Of
the latter to be much more vouminous than
the others, and especially dstioguishable by
great development of the frontal region. These
results were the more remarkable because Of
the authors known antipathy to Calls system
Of phrenology: but Dr. Broca thought them
insufficient, inasmuch as they did not exactly
show whether the difference was owing to edu-
cation or merely to natural intellectual supe-
Tiority His measures being especially taken
with this view, his ultimate conclusion is that
the cultivation Of the mind exercises a special
influence on The development Of the brain, aud
that this action particularly tends to increase
the volume Of the frontal lobes, which are con-
sdered to be the seat Of the higher intellectual
faculties This view is corroboraied by very
curious result he obtains from a comparison Of
Parchappes measure Of his learned mcn with
those Of the unearned in the case Of the for
mer the frontal development was considerable,
while in the case Of the latter it was the pos
terror part Of the brain that had grown moro
than the anterior Erchange
