A HUSBAND SOLD FOB TWO CENTS
Tro- IN VI Whig

A few months AGO a married woman on
Ida Hill became acquainted with a maiden
lady of forty, who resides near the junction
of Congress and Ferry streets. They had
baen acquainted but short time, when
the married woman made proposition to
tbe maiden lady, and offered her husband
fo- sale. The puce fixed was two cents.
This was quickly paid, and the pair soon
parted. When night came, Ms AS hus-
band failed to make his appearance; up TO
last night he Wis, still missing. 8lrs. A.
saws she was Only in jest when she made
the proposition, but, unfortunately for her,
the maiden, who happened to be somewhat
advanced in life, took the matter in earnest,
and she is now lord and master Of Mrs AS
husband. The disturbed feelings Of one
and the supposed rejoicing Of the other can
not easily be portrayed, and the eircum-
stances connected herewith belong only to
themselves. no doubt. Anxious friends,
however, are awaiting further develop
ments.

IT is now understood that the Texas
and Pacific bill cannot be reached IN
the House. On a point Of order 1t
would of necessity go to the committee
of the whole, where at this stage Of the
session it could not be taken up. 1t Is
therefore expected that an effOrtwil be
made to pass it first in the Senate.

THE decline In business Is very well
Illustrated by the figures Of a promi-
nent tobacco house Of Cincinnati, given
by the Enquirer:
In 1871 It paid $4,000 to the Gov
erpment. In 1872 in fell to $4,000.
In 1873. $4,000; in 1874, $4,000, and
the indications are that in 1875 it viii
pay about $1,000. 1t is easy to see
how this affects laborers employed IN
the tobacco business and how many
hundreds and thousands of them must
have been discharged. The tobacco
trade is intimately connected with
many other trades and avooations
which are dependent upon its pres
perity.

Republican Lack Of Harmony On the
Louisiana Question.
The discussion in the Republican Sena-
torial caucus Of the general questions in
volved, develops gTeat lack Of harmony ID
the views Of those present. 1t is now con-
sidered probable that a sufficient number
of Republicans viii unite with the Demo
Gratis to prevent the passage by the Senate
Of the proposed resolution FOR the recognl-
ton Of the Kellogg government, and that
therefore Pinchback will not be admitted.
In this probable event, the responsibility
of deciding whether or not the kellogg ad-
ministratiOn IS the legal government OF
Louisiana, viii again be left with the
President. It is understood there Will
be three reports from the Committee on
privileges and Elections on the question OF
Pinchback's right TO admission as Senator
Mr.. Morton, in behalf of the majority, II
is believed, will report that Pinchback IS
entitled TO a seat IN the Senate. Messrs.
Salisbury and Hamilton will submit their
views to the contrary, and MIR. Alcorn VIII
favor a new election, though in case the
Senate passes the resolution recognizing
the kellogg government, he will feel called
upon TO vote for Pinchback's admission

Archbishop Ma8ninE's Reply 90 Glad
stone.
LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Archbishop Man
ming has issued a pamphlet Of 200 pages in
reply to GladstOne's expOsrulation. He
declares that the Vatican's DEGREES have
not changed the conditions of civil ale
glance. The allegiance Of Catholics is as
undivided as that Of any other Christians.
Questions Of conscience alone could divide
It. The recent DEGREES have not ex-
tended the power Of the Pope. The
Ecumenical Council in no way
touched the relations Of Church and
State. It's decress merely declared doc
trines which weps already matters Of faith.
The Pope cannot, therefore, by virtue either
Of these decress OF his supreme authority,
make any claim upon his adherents Of q
nature to impair the integrity Of their civil
allegiance. He cannot do an act contrary
to Divine law. TO impair civil allegiance
would be contrary to that law. The spirit
ual authority Cf the church was in
direct in its operation on temporal
affairs. II indirectly condemns and de-
clares not binding such temporal laws as
deyiate from the law Of God, and there
fore impede the attainments of salvation.
In regard to the suppOsitiOn advanced in
argument, that the Pope might attempt to
depOse the Queen. Of England, the writer
remarks that as the Queen is wholly with
drawn from the Catholic Church, every
condition is wanting which would
render such deposition Unstable.
The Archbishop declares that
European powers have entered into a sys-
tematic conspiracy against the church, and
warns them that They are thereby wrecking
themselves. In conclusion, he says Glad
stones pamphlet invites Catholics 70 rebel
against divine authority, and encourages
schism, heresy ard deadly sin.
