A MODEL HUSBAND.


II is seldom that we are called upon TO
chronicle SO noble and self-sacrificipg an
act as that attempted yesterday afternoon
by n. P. Tenant. Tenant had been
plainly given to understand by the sharer
Of his joys and SORROWS, on divers and
sundry occasions. that he did not come
up TO her ideal Of husband; that be was
a " shiftless " creature, and didn't seem
somehow to have that delightful knack
OF making money. which is the highest,
noblest, and most popular attribute of
the model husband. Impressed with
these views. Tenant logically concluded
that. inasmuch as he did not possess the
chief qualifications of a satisfactory hus-
band, the best thing that he could do
was to step out. and leave Mrs. T. an
opening for another venture in the mat
rimonial lottery. He accordingly bought
a dose OF cold pizen. shut himself up in
his room, swallowed the dose, and in
dicted the following model letter to his
intended relict:
II have done this to rid nv wife of so
poor husband. Since I have been mar.
ried to her have done my best to please
her, but all to no effect. She will not be
pleased, and wants divorce, and this is
the easiest way know Of I am out of
employment, without money or friends,
and death is welcome friend. wish
this to be published in the Call, and
copied in the N. II. New Hampshire)
papers. MP. T."
But the war did not come up TO the
pronunciamiento. Tenant took poison
with his characteristic ineffciency; he
didn't take enough of it. Consequently,
when Captain Douglass and City Physi-
clan Stivers arrived at Brenham Place,
they found that the snubbed husband
was not so far gone that his restoration
was beyond the resources of medical SCI
ence. The probability now is that be
will recover, and that Mrs. Tenant will
enjoy further chances Of making his life
an intolerable burden.-[S. +. Chronicle.

SQUIRRELS are becoming a great pest
in some portions of Walla Walla Valley,
Washington Territory. Last year great
deal of grain was destroyed by them in
places. They have made their appear
ance already in great numbers, and war
is being made on them with dogs, cats,
traps and poison. But the dogs kill the
cats and the poison kills the dogs. while
the squirrels have too much sense to fool
around traps. So far they are ahead.

RidInx Backwards or Forwards.

The recent royal upheaval in England
consequent upon the unhappy differ
ences of opinion betwegn the Queen and
her daugllter-in-law, .secms to have
hgpnxith tho slightssshaking up ex-
perHnosd by the royal and imperial
rertiesUhen they first went out TO-
eeAxlor drive. The Queen and the
Princess of Wales sat themselves posi-
lively 1uNm in tho back seat of the car
riage, and Alexandroyna and Alfred
were therefore obligedeo put themselves
into scat which left them with their
backs to the horses. The Russian
Princess bore up under the appalling
condition of affairs until the drive was
over, when she informed her royal
mother-in-law that she would never
again ride on the front scat of a car
riago. Remember, .ssssaid she (alld
here her proud lips probably "curled
in scorn -, that I asasthe daughter Of
tho greatest sovereign on earth-the
Czar of Russia" The Queen retorted,
" I acknowledge no earthly sovereign
as my superior" This closed the con-
versation; and subsequently came the
sensation occasionodab the absence of
the Czar's daughter from the Queens
drawing-room. According to the recent
settlenent Of the question, Of the fair
Ruastan's position. ahez must continue
to ride backwards when she goes out
with=the Queen, unless Alfred puts an
other board into thcvchiele.s But even
then \ problem would como up. Tho
Queen would not want to look at her
daughter-in-law's back: Perhaps Rus
sia and England had better 60 to war at
once. .-Louisviltc C0,tricr-.Journak.

: The: Bittern.

From further up the brook, wo see
coming toward us, with slow, tagging
flight, oittcrn, who sails down
and alights among the distant pickers
weeds; and soon we hear his notes,
sounding like a wooden handled pump.
This bird is sometimes called "the
post driver" or "stake-driver," from
the supposed resemblance Of his note to
the striking ON post with mallct E;
and in some localities, by the figure OF
speech called onomatopteia, he is called
a pumppudler. It is a deceptive sound.
At one moment, it seems near you, and
tho next as if in a distant part of the
meadow. But, ON nearing the spot
where you saw the bird alight, VIC find
him standing still and rigid, with bill
pointing upwards, SO completely taking
the form and attitude of the t,ll leaves
Of tho pickerol-weeds ds about him, that,
were it not for his plumage, it would
puzzle one at first to tell which il
bird, and which leaf. In the fall, when
these leaves show brownisll tint, the
disguise is perfect, even in broad day.

kangarOlDs i'm England,

Kangaroo parks may before long be
for deer parks in some
parts of England. The kangaroos kept
in confinement in the Geological Gar
dcns breed freely, and enjoy excellent
health. Several gentlemen have intro
ducel them on their estates with con-
siderable success. A paddock full of
kanp aroos on the estate of q nobleman
in Oxfordshire was recently entered by
osp4ck ofhounds which had lost their
scent of their proper quarry, the fox,
and II kangaroo hunt took the place of
q fox hunt. II was with difficulty that
tic hoiinds were beaten of, and both
dogs and kangarooss suffered in the fray.
The only condition Of climate which
tho marsupial fears is damp; 1t will
bear great extremes of cold and heat,
but damp is fatal to II. Il commits
very little depreciation among the trees
and shrubs, though individuals oc.
casionally take to nibbling the bark OF
trees.

A Lanatic Attempts 10 Shoot priaee.,

The LONDON Dnily Telegraph Of June
says "About 4 O'Clock yesterday af.
ternoon, MS Prince Edwem of SAKE.
Weimar was about to leave his house In
Portland place to attend the levee Al
st. James Palace, and Just rs he had
stepped Oh the pavement to enter his
carriage, he WAS shot at by q. man who
had alighted from a cab that was stand.

The Prince was not aware OF the mans
presence till he heard the explosion !:
nor, indeed, t!ooo 10 appear that Huy ono
actually saw: the shot fred, or per-
ceived that the man carried q pistol.
Pursuing tho Prince back into the
house, the man forced his way nearly to
the staircase btkere he found himself
stopped from farther intrusion. The
servants, who PROBABLY had not heard
tho sound ota pistol-shet, dhl not think
Ut detalaia9 him : he was allowed TO-
