Confidence with Wives.

In connection with the reported remark of
gentleman, who said that he didn't believe
the ladies he met in Washington street knew
that the times are dull, and that their hus-
bands are having hard time to keep their
heads above water, the Boston Journal relates
the following: "All husbands do not make
their financial affairs q topic of conversation
at home, and some better halves know less of
their own husbands affairs than they do of
their neighbors'. Some weeks since lady
was first informed of her husbands suspen.
sion by reading an announcement in q paper
which she accidently took up in store while
waiting to have m order filled.
"Whether 1t was pride or fear that prompted
the secresy can not be stated, but what can
be expected from wives in the way of true
economy if they ara only silent partners in
the matrimonial copartnership? In 1857 a
large jswelry firm sold costly set of jewels
to . lady. The firm knew that her husband
was in . failing oondition, but the lady had
been long and apsoftable customer. When
the partner ordered his clerk not to charge
the set. which had been delivered, but to make
a memorandum on the blotter, he paid the
lady's integrity . high compliment. When
her husband failed the jewelry came back
with q note couched in such terms that the
dealer only regretted that the gift of the set
would be construed as an insult"

FIRE ON SHIPBOARD.
The British Ship Majestic Struck.
by Lightning.

About o'clock Sunday morning, during
the storm, the lightning struck the skysail
mast of the British ship Majestic, lying at the
head Of Felicity street, and passed down the
mast to the hold of the vessel, coming out on
the port side, about foot above the copper
ing, making an opening large enough for a
man to pass through. The officers and
sailors on board the vessel felt the shock, but
did not know that the lightning had struck
the ship until 5 o'clock Sunday morning,
when they discovered volumes of smoke com.
ing from the aft hatchway.
An alarm was sounded from box No. %,
which was promptly responded to by the har-
Dor fire boats Tyler and Protector and the
Fire Department, who went to work and
pumped the vessel full of water.
The Majestic was loading for Liverpool,
and had on board at the time of the fire about
$500 bales Of cotton, the greater portion Of
which is badly. damaged by fire and water.
The ship and cargo was fully covered by in
surance. The damage to the ship is very
slight. The cotton is being removed to the
Reading Cotton Press.

Tooker, of Booths Theater, who has led SO
manv big wigs by their ears as advertisements
OF "Julius Caesar" got Grant and his Cabinet
to promise to put in their appearance at the
play; but the very day after he won this sue
cess, the Belknap explosion took place, and
nothing has been heard of it since. As Grant
and Bslknap have thus been prevented from
seeing the play together, they might take a
few spare moments to study that part of it in
which the following condensed dialogue
occurs:
Brutus-Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself
Are much condemned to have an itching palm !;
To sell and mart your offices for gold
To undeservers.
Cdssius-l an itching palm /.
BrAus-The name of Cassus honors this cor
ruption,
And chastisement doth therefore hide his head.
Cdssius -Chastisement!
Brutus-Remember March The ides of March
remember!
Did not great Lincoln bleed for justice sake,
And not Tor plumber? What, shall one Of US
Act in supporting robbers shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base brides?
And sell the mighty space of our large honsrs
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
| had rather be dog, and bay the moon,
Than such Roman.

The thrill OF horror and dismay which ran
through the country at the news Of Secretary
Belknap's disgrace will lose its compromising
effect if the event is regarded merely as case
of individual depravity. 1t differs in degree,
but not in kind, from hundreds of instances
Of official misconduct, all of which, it may be
added, follow as directly as effect can follow
cause from the total absence in Washington
of all personal responsibility of anybody for
anything. Secretary Belknap has been for
six or seven years, as far as the public was
concerned, the shadow of name. II he
wanted anything in his department, instead
of stating and defending it frankly in debate
before the. country, he was obliged to lobby
in private with committees of Congress. On
the other hand. not so much as question
could be publicly asked with relation to the
workings Of that department without the con-
sent Of the majority Of Congress. And SO
the rottenness was covered up until the ad-
vent Of Democratic majority disclosed it to
grace in the eyes Of the world our Centennial
year.-Boslon Advertiser.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Burned to Death.

Some two weeks ego most deplorable
accident occurred on the "Nina Plantation,
about two hundred miles above this city, on
the Coast. ION the Mississippi side). by which
we'll known and estimable lady lost her life.
In the performance of her daily routine of
domestic duties she had occasion to fill q
glass lamp in which coal oil was used. In
placing it on q mantelpioce the lamp was
broken, the oil spirited out upon her clothing.
and the fire which was burning in the CRATE
ignited the gas evolved from the volatile fluid,
and instantaneously the flames enveloped the
unfortunate lady.
Instinctively she rushed to her husband,
who was lying on . cot in the same room,
helpless and FRUSTRATED by q disease Of the
heart, and begged him, in most piteous
terms, to save her. The poor fellow threw up
his arms and tried with all the strength he
possessed 10 tear the burning clothing from
her body, but his efforts were vain and his
beloved wife was almost literally burned to
death before his eyes. He was also terribly
injured and has since died.
The victims of this most affective dispense
ton were Mrs. and Mr.. VIM. Adams. The
lady was q daughter of Mr.. W. Il. Dunbar,
q we'll known planter and prominent citizen
of Natchez, and her husband was q son of
the late Com. Adams, of the United States
navy, and a nephew of Mr.. Charles A.
Allen, of New Orleans.
Both lived in this CITY for several years. and
had wide circle Of sincerely attached friends,
who will shed bitter tears ovcr the distressful
account of the sad calamity by which they
lost their lives. They left three little children,
who will feel the want of q mothers care and
fathers protection.

"Mrs. Bslknap said day or two ago to a
friend, who relates her conversation, that she
did not consider herself criminal, or that
she had done anything particularly wrong; at
least, she did not feel that she was commit
ting great sin when she used her influence
to get friends positions.
"'But,' said she, if have slnned, others
have doubly sinned: if am guilty of crimes,
others are guilty of double crimes
"She went on to say that she had done
only what others had been doing for years
She was sure that many people in her place
would have done far worse than she, and used
their influence to the fullest extent. This
confidante. of Mrs. Belknap says that Mrs.
Bslknap and her friends make no secret in
their private conversations Of these things
According to their admission the practice is
one OF long standing.
"Mrs. Belknap says that her case is of little
importance compared with the situation of
the others. The names of prominent men
are threatened as having secured Offices for
their friends through the influence of their
presents and their money. Mrs. Belknap
says that astonishing facts will be brought to
light if the committee are anxious for them,
and that she is far from deserving the deep
condemnation that has been heaped upon her
by the public. - Washington Correspondence
N. Y. Herald.
The essential essence of Grant;sm is ex-
pressed by Mrs. Belknap. She used her in
fuence to get petitions for her friends. pre-
cisely as others did-as Grant did-and she
thought she might share in their prosperity.
If Grant was right in making the government
q COW for his folks, Mrs. Belknsp was not far
in the wrong. II the President had right to
pension worthless and disreputable persons
upon the public service. by way of pleasing
himself and dischsrging his personal obliga-
tons. Mrs. Belknap's sin was of the very
smallest proportions. Then we think it true,
as she says, that her case is of little impor-
lance as compared with others.

The Philadelphia Inquirer thus comments
on the Senate's recent elephant from Louisi-
ana: "The Pinchback agony is over. For
this let us be truly thankful. The Senate Ct
the United States refuses, by close VOTE to
become parry to an outrage as bold as
shameless villainy could conceive. 1t is a
pity that it took body Of learned men SO
long to discover what everybody else knew
that Pinchback was never elected, and that if
he had been his place was in prison and not
in the Senate of the United States. Mr.. Nor
ton will now have time to get together his
odds and ends Of half-delivered speeches. and
put them in shape for another occasion"

THE BOURBON DYNASTY.
An Ex.Gauger Is Said To Have
Squealed.
A Movement in the Crooked.

Monday morning opened at the Custom
House rather promising to the reporters, and
they were, accordingly, in high glee, antici-
pating full hand of news, but it turned out
there was. nothing but promise in it. The
Grand Jury were called by Judge Woods and
discharged until o'clock, after which the
Judge signed an order upon the telegraph
companies, requiring them to deliver into
court certain kilograms found, which, it is
said, bears heavily upon the crooked cases.
What they are no one seems to know, and as
Major New says, those in the District Attor-
ney's Office drink only Mumm Champagne
mum was the word there.
Col Brooks, who is in charge of the revenue
forces here seemed highly elated at something.
and was very anxious that Gen. Tuition should
arrive. It was limited about that certain ex-
gauger has turned States evidence and had
made full and explicit confession of all the
business here, and that the governments now
in possession Of all the facts they desire.
Nothing of the truth of this could be
cleaned from the revenue officials themselves,
for they refused to talk about it. They say,
however, that the crusade is not at an end,
and that they will develope the fact that their
position SO far has been correct.
When the Grand Jury reassembled in the
afternoon they went to work on the cotton
cases, to which labor they devoted the re-
naming hours of the session. Alex Mckee,
of O Briens distillery, who was indicted q few
days ago for conspiracy in the whisky bust
ness, was on hand to be arraigned and give
trict Attorney.
Il looks just now as if Judge Woods was
preparing for heavy business, for yesterday
he ordered the jury commissioners to draw q
panel of four hundred good and competent
Jurors to serve in the Circuit Court. This
will doubtless crowd the Railways of the Gus
tom. House to-day, for there are many idle
who are anxious to get on the jury, as it pays
three dollars day.
Special Internal Revenue Agent Wheeler
was generally considered to have wandered
off with Gen. Brady into space, but it turns
out he has been here all the time, keeping
quiet, and evidently steering out of the way
of reporters
It now transpires that he is in the city, and
has been, without intermission at work upon
the kilograms at the several Offices, seeking
to get at something duplicating parties here.
The order issued by the Court calling for the
production of certain named dispatches, came
at his request and covers some he has dis
covered already.

The last recorded utterance of Col. Fred.
Grant, before he left for the Black Hills, was i:
Father hoped they would sifs and sift every
body about him, and then they would find
out just how things stood" Col Fred. uttered
positive truth, fol it is very evident that the
investigating committees are "fpding out
how things stood" It will be observed, how
ever, that the President is not reported as
saying that he wished himself to be sifted

but he does not wish any of that himself. II

of events. that it may become positively
necessary to sifs "father in order to find

Pinchback has been kicked out of the
United States Senate. That's very crafty
ing event; but is Pinchback "squelched ?"
We fear not. He belongs to the small bnt
formidable body Of Unsquelchables. He's
high private in the army of National
Nuisances. The first resolution he formed,
after picking himself up at the foot of the
Capitol terrace, was to go back to Louisiana
and breed new political pestilenoe in that
doomed and rogue-ridden State. If Nature
were in any sort Of intelligent sympathy with
q suffering people, it would move the mouth
of the Mississippi to gobble Pinchback up.
The river might be able to digest him, but
nothing else can.-Brooklyn Argus.
