complications with Spain. yet the week
closes with a more peaceful feeling

calmness. and the impression seems to
prevail that there will be no war be

tone of the Spanish Ministry continues

to act in all matters 10 the controversy
in such a way as will preserve peace
between the two nations.

direction. for placing our Navy, arse

war, should it yet come. The govern
ment will be prepared for either peace
or war.

BarA truth spoken by a Democrat
is just as valuable as though spoken
by one who had never sinned. And
when truth comes to us from that source
we should rejoice, for the same reason
that the father of the Prodigal son re-
joiced-whereas our son was dead; he
is now alive. At a democratic dinner
in New York recently, eaten in honor
of the late democratic victories, a letter
was read from Elk Governor Seymour,
which, in the main, is the most sensible

good things Is the following, which is
worthy of consideration by Republi-
cans as well as Democrats:
while we shall deplore political de-

huences which pervade the party in
power we shall hold unfalthfulness in

For the Gallipolis Journal.

Dear Editors and readers of the Journal
Perhaps il would be advisable to
tell you in the beginning that am no
p~trenologist - have never had my
head examined by any learned pro-
fessor of the science, and that my
bump of obtuseuess may be unusual
ly large. At any rae, | sometimes
listen atteniively to what is termed
arguments, without seeing where the
proof comes in, and not unfrequent-
iy read long newspaper articles with
out getting at the 'glst' of the mat
ter.
To night, in looking over some old
papers, / happened upon a journal
bearing date Nov. 10. '73, 10 which |
found an article headed 'Shutling
out the Sunlight" Upon reading,
however, imagine my disappoint-
ment to find it a TRADE against the
habit of fretting. when found in wo-
man, and a plea Or excuse for The
same 10 the 'sterner sex.
Now, ] am not a man hater,' by
any means, nor vet a very strong ad
vocate of the 'Woman's Rights the
DRY, but | love justice and have not
the partially TO see how a habit so
heinious 10 one can be j%ustiGable in
the other.
The writer of said article thinks
it not half so dreadful when mar
takes up the ''doleful strain" mas
iuuch as he Is not about the house
sR the time and is apt to be very diff
ferent when out among his friends
A iimsey pretext, indeed.
The habit of fretting, bad as it is,
is not half SO despisable and mean
as the Hypocrisy and duplicity which
makes a man one thing at home and
another abroad. Methinks the nea
est friends. and the ones most emit
tied to the love, respect. f~orbearance
and affability of a man are his wife
and children. And there would have
to be some reasons more extraordina-
ry than dyspepsia, corBs, t~iehtboots,
or sons-in law on estate before ]
would consider him 'justifahle in
complaining or bear his wicked muir
murings cheerfully, knowing his
troubles to be real" What nonsense.
| am almost out of patience with the
woman (if she be a woman that is
so biased in favor of the sex, as to
utter such lovesickish sentiments.
Fretting is a common and pernicious
evil, and very many of both sexes
indulge in it to an alarming extent,
but how any one with even a limited
knowledge Of what our delicate
American women endure, a SYM
patliize less with her than her liege
lord, is something l can not under
stand. But, as | minated before, ]
may be dull. Doubtless many suffer
more from imaginary than real
troubles, and yet their sufferings are
none the less severe. And remem-
bering the authority for the declara-
ton, eve that are strong ought to
pear the lnnrmltleS OF the weak, L
fear we too often chide where we
ought to speak words of cheer and
encouragement.
And, in conclusion, for 1 am max
ing this notice longer than l intend
ed, l would say to my readers of both
sexes, if you have not enough sun
shine or good nature in your compo-
sition to last all day in any company.
reserve enough for the home circle.
Remember it is your home life that
tells-tells upon your wife, your hus
band, your children and friends.
And don't think because you r a
man you a sin with impunity and
indulge your fallen %propensities with
