3ntertaining" Friend.

4 wife, when she has received suitable
notice, can get up a suitable dinner for her
husbands friend. She does her level hest,
working without stint until repast which
pleases her in every particular is spread.
Then the following conversation takes
place with the guest:
Il hope you'll be able to make on, a
meal"
Il shall do nicely, know" he saws.
I'm really ashamed of the table," she
rattles on.
Why, you needn't be," he protests.
"But it's all bis fault she explains. nod
ding toward her husband. 'He never
gives me warning scarcely, and it's such
warm weather now that there is nothing
you can keep on hand for an emergency"
Why, you've, done nobly, l think /;
guest, beginning to lose his interest in the
topic.
20. l hope you don't think this anything
OF dinner, she says looking with anxious
pride over the spread. "You must come
up again, and let me know before hand,
and I'll promise you something decent to
eat"
"I'm sure this can't be beaten,n protests
the guest, with a sense of becoming de-
pressed.
"Oh bless me, this nothing but a pick
up dinner, Just the same as We have if
alone. Do try another biscuit; l don't
suppose they are fit to eat, though" she
says, with increased'anxiety,a as she observes
their delicate color and haky texture.
They are beautiful" he hastily explains,
feeling very uncomfortable the while.
"iou must take the will for the deed"
she observes. 81 didn't see we were out Of
bread till the last moment, and then /
hastily made up these. 1 didn't think
they'd be half way decent, as there was no
time to work them.'
And so she rattles on with her disastrous
comments, the dear old fraud, while he
continues to protest, and continues to feel
more and more like getting up and flying
away.-DmbuIy Neus.

the United States broke loose from Great
Britain and set up for themselves. The &C.

naturally left a good deal of i'll feeling be-
tween the parties. Besides, We had another
war with England thirty odd years after
ward, and the hostility Of that conflict like
wise ranked for good while.
But now we have got on by ourselves for
a century, and have done very well on the
whole; and We are going to have 4 festival
to mark the beginning Of our second hum
dred years. We are at peace with all the
world, and we desire especially to empha-
size the fact that peace is our intention and
our permanent policy, and not only peace,
but friendship toward everybody !;
and how can We do this in any other
way 30 we'll as by demonstrating that even
toward England, our near relation and our
old antagonist, We have now no feeling but
that of amity and good will? For this
reason, We ought to invite the Quet i to the
Centennial. The invitation should be given
by authority Of Congress, and an appropria-
tion should be made to entertain her in suit

We cannot do in any other way, our respect

The Prince Of Wales is going to India
this fall, hoping thus to strengthen the po-
litical union between that country and

It Has been Running in the District Court
for Some Time Past.
An interesting suit, which involves about
$4,000, is just now engaging the at,en-
tion of the District Court. 1t is that of
Lucien Scott and Charlotte E. Scott vs.
Henry Foote, ct al, to foreclose certain
mortgages held by Scott on property owned
by Foote. All other parties holding mort
cages on Foote'S property are made defen-
dant in the suit, and all persons having
judgments or other liens are also made de-
PENDANTS. The case has been before Judges
Ide and Singleton, and will now come be-
fore S. ID. Lecompte, District Judge pro tenn,
on the motion Of defendant, Calvin Burr, to
abate the action as to him in this court,
and to stay all proceedings, as to matters at
issue between him and the plaintiffs and
Lyman Scott, one Of the defendants, and
upon further motion to dismiss the action
as to him. These motions have been
argued pro and con, for the past three days,
and are now held under advisement, and
will be decided Saturday, if it shall be deter
mined that Mr.. Lecompte, judge pro ten,.,
who is also one of the defendants, can
make any order in the action.

A Burglars Reception in califernis.

The following appears in the Marysville
(Cal.) 4PpoaL, of July II: Yesterday
morning, at about $50, the residence OF
Chas. Raish, on d street, was entered by a
burglar in pursuit of plunder. Raisn gives
the details OF the exciting episode as fol-
lows: At or about the hour named he was
awoke from his sleep by the jingle of mo-
ney in his dining-roCm, sounding as il a
half dollar dropping upon the floor. He
Instantly comprehended the situation,
jumped out of bed and stepped into the
dining-room, where he saw a man in the
act of taking money from his pataloons.
The burglar, at the sight Of Raish, started
off through the kitchen and bac5 part OF
the lot toward High street, and was fol-
lowed by Raish. As the burglar stepped
brought him down to his feet. The burglar
then asked, with an oath, who are you?
and showed signs OF fight. Raish gave him
one blow, which settled him upon the
ground, and then added few additional
punches by way of remembrancers. The
burglar cried enough and was taken into
the house and was made to sit down on the
floor until Rash dressed himself. As soon
as dressing was completed Raish and his
prisoner started down the street, when the
latter began to threaten, saving he did not
care about going to the State prison, but he
did not like to be bruised up so, and if he
ever lived TO get out he would get even.
Raish then remarked, suiting his action to
his words, 81 might AZ well finish you right
here The burglar begged again, took i.
all back, and walked peaceably to the sta
ton house, where he gave his name as Bull
lard, and afterward changed it to Charles
Wilbur. Raish had about S25 in his PAN
falcons, and the burglar had it in his pos
session when discovered, but scattered it
about the floor and lot while attempting to
escape Ballard or Wilbur is recognized as
the man who entered John Hampshire's
house OH Friday morning. Mrs. F,mpshire
and the man ran out OF the
house. Some one entered Fishers hous,,
at Fourth and High streets, on Friday
and was heard and frightened
away. 1t is believed that Wilbur is the
man. He has been noticed about the streets
the past week by the police. He had no

The prospect of eight million baskets Of
peaches from Maryland and Delaware, in
an unusually sound condition, is pleasant
one. There are few varieties Of summer
fruit, when properly shipped and handled,
more delicious or more healthful than
peaches. With reasonable care in their Sc
lection, they are almost perfectly safe, even
in unhealthy seasons, of which, happily,
the present Summer is not one. The peach

New York Journalists.

Livery one who reads a nswspaper-par-
ticularly one of the great metropolitan dali
lies-naturally associates with it the name
of the editor-in-chief, or if he be unknown,
the name of the proprietor or manager. For
example.when We read the Tribune, we
think of whitelaw Reid as the responsible
editor the name Of James Gordon Bennett
is always associated with the Herald, the
chief editor not being generally known /;
the World suggests the name OF Manton
Marble, and so on. 1t will be interesting
to some of our readers, perhaps, to know
what the heads OF the New York journals
do in connection with their respective
journals what their duties are, and how
they fulfill them.
Whitelaw Reid, editor-in-chief of the
Tribune, is not at the Tribune Office more
than three hours of the twenty-four, and
very little at night. He rarely ever writes
anything for the paper. There is con-
sultation OF the writing editors each morn
ing, when topics for articles are chosen or
assigned, and they are not afterward dis
turbed. The political editor OF the Tribune
is AR Isaac H. Bromley. He writes the
3" heaVy political leaders, and every article
OF political nature, editorial or commu-
nicated, must pass through his hands. OF
course Reid marks out the policy to be pur-
sued by the paper in politics. as in all
other matters, but he does not meddle
with the details of each day'. issue.
The chief editor of the 7imes is Mr.. Lou

finished education, fine ability and great
industry. He is an iDdefatigable worker,
spending great portion of the day and
night in the 7incs Office, frequently remain
ing until the paper is sent to press, usually
about haif-past two o'clock in the morn
ing. Jennings writes much more editorial
matter than Reid.
In the Herald Office there is no editor. in
the real sense of the term. Bennett is cole
proprietor, and of course controls the pa-
per, but he leaves the details of manage
ment to John Russell Young, managing ed
itor. Young rarely writes anything, be-
cause he cannot spare the time.
and for the further reason. we
presume, that he is very poor writer.

An lnfuriated Husband Shoots His Family
Physician.
RED OAK, Iowa, July l9, 1875.
A horrible murder was committed about
three miles from this place last evening.
The particulars are as follows: Some time
since Dr. Hatton, a prominent physician
and surgeon of this town, was called to at
tend the wife of Fred Mewherder, promi-
nent citizen living few miles in the coun-
try. She was delivered Of child, and
Mewherder claims that there was malprac-
tice on the part Of the doctor, and
that the mother is injured beyond
surgical aid. On yesterday evening New
herder was riding along the road armed
with Spencer rifle, and met DIR. Hatton,
when he Immediately raised his gun and
fired, shooting him through the body. The
ball went in at the side and came out near
the spine, and there is no hopes of the doc
tors recovery. Mewherder fled as soon "a
he fired the fatal shot, and has not since
been heard from. DR.. Hatton is respec-
tably connected and has hosts of friends
here, and they freely threaten lynching if
the murderer is captured. There is great
excitement in the community over the hor-
rible deed.
