A SQUARE DEAL WANTED.

Mrs. Tilton says that her sin, for which
she was so deeply penitent, was in allow
ing her love for Mr.. Beecher to supplant
her love for her husband But as Theo-
dore had solaced himself with Wood
hull's affection, we don't see that he had
any particular reason to get mad about
that. or even if Mrs. Tilton had gone
further than she admits The fact is,
the world is growing wiser and fairer in
this matter. as the world always will if
it is let alone. y man may be false to
his wife. forsake her love for the tiaunt-
ing charms of strange women, and the
wife must suffer on in silence. But if
the injured wife follows in her husbands
footsteps, for the least distance, If she
make ever so little a hi5tep, 10, the
faithless husband who has broken and
disregarded every pledge he made at the
altar, either hunts up the destroyer of
his hOnor-heaven save the mark and
promptly pistols him and is as promptly
acquitted of the murder by a jury of
sympathizing and, perhaps, equally sin
ming married Inen. or else if he has an
aversion to powder, he ruSheS into print,
publishes his wife's shame and his own
Shamelessness to the world, and howls
for sympathy And the world is grow
ing tired of these fellows. 1t is begin
ming to believe that what is sauce for the
gander is sauce for the goose, and if
husband boldly, shamelessly and openly
sets his wife the example Of ffaithleSsness,
what right has he TO complain if she is
not better than himself. ''You want us
to be angels, do you!" cried a female
lecturer, pretty figures you would cut
beside angels, you brutes" And she
embodied the whole argument and the
whole philosophy of the equality of the
sexes, right there

his most prayerful solieitude, the list of
his destinations is complete. The Young
lady Is all your Imagination can paint
her; loving, bewitching and divine.
Such a being, indeed, as the interesting
AdOnis We have described, could alone
make his duleinea. But it appears that
her father did not possess the same con
tidence in her lover as did the fair Aman-
da. Learning of the engagement he
locked her up, and forbade the youth
the house. Lest she should evade his
vigilance; her apparel was removed.
and the gentle Amanda was left in the
meagerest dishabille to brood in maiden
meditation over the trite. but opposite
conclusion that the course of true love
never did run smooth" But it is equally
opposite and true that Glove laughs at
locks and bolts" The lover found out
his mistress and coneOcted an clone
ment.
About nine o'clock last night two visi-
tors at the residence of a weII-knoWn
minister on Pine street claimed instant
audience of the divine. In the dim
light of the parlOr the good man only
discovered the figures of a boy and "A
man, and inquired how he could serve
them.
I'VE want to get married. sir, . replied
the oldest stranger.
Indeed; one of you appears rather
young, but where are the ladies' asked
the preacher

and adjusted his spectacles with an en-
ergy that showed how deeply the incl

And the youth thereupOn related to
him the romance of their love. the cruel
parents, the disguise and flight, and
again impOrtuned him to marry them at
once. Delay might be fatal Even now
the cruel father might have discovered
the flight, and pursue them.
But are you sure it's girl:' again
demanded the cautious minister.
''Sir, I'm sure of it."
Because the marriage wouldn't be
legal if she wasn't

SO the ceremony was said, and the
couple strobe away, satisfied and con

Congression Convention at Bangor, said:
'.Any reading and thinking man must
see that spirit of progress animates our

channels of commerce and to increase

of liberality to aid the Government in
its upward course, desire to have
stricter accountability between Govern

\ BLACK WHALE KILLED WITH
JACK hNIFE.--On Thursday Of last week
Henry Gleise, Harry Adams, GusIave
Shreeves, Joseph Eichler, John Gun
ther and Jacob Schenck, while trolling
for blue-lish of ROckaway beech, had
their attention attracted by a noise and
the agitation Of the water in small pool
Oh the Sand-bar near Barren Island On
approaching nearer they discovered
large fish which had been left by the re
ceeding tide. Landing on the bar, they
discovered the fish 10 be a young black
whale. Consultation was had with II
view Of capturing him alive, but the
scheme was deemed impraetieable, as
before the proper tackling and tools
could be obtained the tide would return
and the fish De released. The next thing
was to kill him The only efficient I'M
plement in the party was a pocket knife,
with "a blade five inches long, which, han
de and all had length Of about one
foot. Mr Gunther was the owner of the
weapon. and upon him devOlved the du-
ty Of making the attack. After recon
nOiteriug he made dive for the whales
neck, and. after several blows, finally
struck a blOOi-vessel. The blubber pen
etrated was thirteen inches thick The
whale threw up spouts Of blood fifteen
feet. and bIed 10 death in one hour.
With the aid Of dozen fisherman the
party rolled the fish into a wagon and
hauled him to East New York, where he
was weighed on the public scales. His
weight wa, 2lGD pounds; his length four
teen feet He measured six feet between
the eyes, and around the largest part Of
the body eighteen feet.-LoHg Island

a NOTABLE WEN.-Young Stevens,
son of the battery man, has gold galore,
but what are millions to a man so de
formed that dogs bark at him when he
goes halting by, and lovely women, even
when the golden luster of untold wealth
glitters about his head, faints at sight of
hims From his birth a peculiar wen,
growing larger and larger every day. has
made his face and neck hideous. Gov
cred with long hair it looked like a re-
pulsive wild animal clinSing to his head
Stevens hid himself from the general
eye, and mOped in loneliness. In early
youth he was betrothed to a beautiful
young girl, but as the wen grew great
his love grew less; rather his deterInina-
ton never to infiict his horrible deform-
ity on a fellow-creature was firmly form
ed. The best surgeons of Europe and
America gave him no hope. They were
unanimous in declaring that to remove
the wen was to permanently remove the
patient. But recently he met Il daring
practitioner who declared that it was
within the skill of the surgeon to lOp off
the eXcrescence and restore the afflicted
man to a healthy and normal condition.
Stevens listened gratefully, '.Do IL, ="
said he, ''and your reward shall be $3.50
OOO." With electric knives the eonfidentI
cutter went to work, and in a very brief
time had earned his mammoth fee. The
skin beneath the tumor was sound and
smooth and Stevens is in excellent
health He may now have his picture
taken, enjoy his wealth, and say to his
