How Writ Found a Wife.

\ recent sketch Of the loves of the great
lawyers contains this touching incident in
the life of William Writ -
"ln his younger days he was victim to
the passion of intoxicating drinks, which
has been the bane Of 40 many distinguished
in the legal profession. 4ilEanced to beau
tiful and accomplished young woman, he
had made and broken repeated pledges of
amendment, and she. after patiently and
kindly enduring his di>yracctul habit, had
Mt length Dismissed him, dccming him in.
corrigiblc. Their next meeting after his
dismissal was in public street in the city
of Richmond. William Writ lay drunk and
asleep on the sidewalk, On hot summer
day. the rays Of the sun pouring down on
his uncovered head, and flies crawling over
his swollen features. As the young lady
approached in her walk her attention was
attracted by the spectacle, strange to her
eyes, but, alas SO common to Others who
knew the victim as to attract little remark.
She did not at first recognize the sleeper, and
was about to hasten on, when she was led,
by one of those impulses which form the
turning point in human lives, to scrutinize
his features. What was her emotion when
she recognized in him her lover. She drew
forth her handkerchief and spread it over
his face and hurried away. When Writ
came to himself he found the handkerchief,
and in one corner the beloved name
With a heart that was almost breaking
with grief and rcmorse, he made VOW of
reformation. lie kept that vow, and he
married the owner Of the handkerchief.

Although 10 Official announcement Inns been
made, 1t il pretty ecncrally understood thnt the
three Chicago railway companies that traverse
Iowa will not comply with tho reoontiy enaeted
law Of TINT State. It will bc remembered the
Legislature adopted Tho classification aud sched-
uo of rates issued by tho Illinois Raiiroad Com
missloners, and docrood that such roads rs tho
Burlington, Rock Island, and Northwestern
should charge only 90 per cent Of theao rates. Iu
view Of the faot that mono Of tho roads ara
troubled with any surplus Iowa earnings, ti1oy
feel warranted in taking direct issue against tho
law. For timo 1t wns rumorea that the paoll-
liar poBition OF tho Root lslaiid and Illinois
Central COMPANIES in having the Dowd smcnd-
ment attached to thoir charters, would force
them to comply, and thoir two competitors would
bo obliged to follow their example. This partic-
u1ar amendment admits tho right Of the Logis-
laturo to regulato the tariffs. Tho conflict viii
turn upon tho word "rogulato." Tho rniirond
