The Lawyers wife.

About two o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon a.citizen climbed. the stairs
leading to a Detroitlawyer's Office
says the Free Press, pushed open
the door with an impatient slam,
and angrily inquired.
"Why didn't you call on me as
requested ?"
"Call on you? I didn't know
that you wanted to see me-" was
the surprised reply.
II left note on your table an
hour before noon," continued the
citizen. 1t was enclosed in an en-
velope, directed to you, and /
wrote the word private across the
end"
"That explains it, answered
the lawyer, sinking back in his
chair, "My wife came down here
this morning, saw that letter, and
I'll bet she wasn't the fifteenth part
ola second putting it into her
pocket. I hope for the Lords sake
that you wrote large hand and
signed your full name."

after, being grossly insulted by a

down with a handsome apology,

MORGAN COUNTY.
Has Man Been SO Very Long
On the Earth?

There has been tendency among
men of science to pass from profession
$50 few years ago. of total ignorance as
to the mode of the origin Of all living
things, to claim to almost complete
knowledge, of the whole progress Of
the universe, from the first speck of
living protopasm up to the highest de-
velopment of the human intellect. Yet
this is really what we have seen in the
last sixteen years. Formerly difficult
ties were exaggerated, and it was as
serted that we had not sufficient knowl-
edge to venture on any congratulations
on the subject Now, difficulties are
set aside, and it is held that our theo-
ries are SO well established and SO far
reaching, that they explain that aud
comprehend all nature, and at the pres
ent day it seems to me that facts which
oppose popular Jews hardly receive
due consideration. 1t is a curious cir
camstance, that notwithstanding the at
tention that has been directed to the
subject in every part of the world, and
the numerous excavations connected
with railways aud mines which have
offered such facilities for geological dis
covery, no advance whatever has been
made for considerable number Of
years, in detecting the time or the mode
of tue mans origin. The Pal@olithic
flint weapons first discovered in the
north of France more than thirty years
ago are still the undisputed proof Of
mans existence, and amid the countless
relics of a former world that have been
brought to light, no evidence of any
one of the links that must have con-
nected man with the lower animals has
yet appeared. The conclusioan which
| think we must arrive at is that If
man has been developed from a COM
mon ancestor, with all existing apes,
and by no other agencies than such as
have affected their development, then
he must have existed in something APP
preaching his present form during the
tertiary period, and not merely existed,
but predominated in numbers wherever
suitable conditions prevailed. In that
case it will be fair argument that,
just as be is in his mental and moral
nature his capacities and aspirations
SO finitely raised above the brutes, so
his origin is due to distinct and higher
agencies than such as have affected
their development.

I The city editor ofthat very staid
sheet, the Chicago Tribune, occa.
sionally INDUCES In witty say
ings, and he is responsible for the
following hints:
About this time o. year the pru-
dent housewife bestirs herself and
prepares or superviSeS the
manufacture of preserves, ielly.
jam, pickles, tomato catsup, etc.,
etc. There is a devoted husband
on West Adam street, who FREE
quently looks on the sherry-cob-
bier when 1t Is amber-colored, and
whenever he gets drunk becomes
abnormally affectionate toward his
wife wife, and solicitious for her
comfort. 1t occurred to him, as
he was about taking his thir-
ty-seventh drink on last Friday
night, that 1t would be a bully
thing to mollify the old woman by
taking her home some seasonable
articles. He acted on the hint and
purchased pound of coffee-sugar,
a box of gooseberries, self-seal-
ing fruit jan, a nest of jelly pots, a
can opener, and a bottle Of brandy
in which to soak the covers of the
preserve can. On the road home
he sat down on the tall
pocket in which he carried the
fruit and smashed the jelly-pots
all but the smallest one. This he
utilized in drinking the brandy
Arriving at the house he fell up
stairs, smashing the self-sealing
fruit jar with such a crash that his
wife, thinking that the Missouri
train robbers were upon her,
caught up a revolver and, taking
deliberate aim, fired one ball over
her shoulder into the ceiling and
a second through the door AZ her
feet, and tainted dead away. The
husband sprinkled her with sugar,
and when she came to presented
her with the can opener, saying in
a voice of affectionate sOlicitude:
"Psherves, my love, psherves ~
whereupon she called him bald
headed border ruf1ian and threw
the can-opener out the window.
He remarked philosophically,
"Well. I'll be jammed!' and fell
into sweet sleep.

WEST VIRGINIA.

! CHARLEsTowN, Oct 10.--Jeffer-

500 majority.
GRAFTON, Oct. 10.--Grafton 125
majority for Golf. County from 100
to 200.
WHEELING, w. VA, Oct. Ii
Up to the hour of going to press the
news from this State is very meagre.
There is, however, no doubt that it
has gone Democratic by a few thou
sand majority. The latest dispatches
show that Gen. Golf is running far
ahead of his ticket. Mason county
is said to have given him about 200
majority, a republican gain of 469,
and Taylor county gives him 204, a
republican gain Of nearly 400. He
also appears to have gained in nearly
all the other counties but not enough
to effect the general result.
WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC BY
5000.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE DEM
ocrats claim West Virginia by 5000
majority. The estimated majority
of Harrison in Indiana is from 1000
to 5000. Some southern counties are
still to hear from. Ohio is probably
republican by 5000. The republicans
lost in large cities, but gained in the
rural districts.
A Clean Democratic Sweep.
WHEELING, Oct. 12.-But very
few returns from this State have
been received. These show gains in
some few cases for Golf, republican,
for governor, but they are offset by
still heavier gains for Mathews dem
ocrat.) Mathews majority will prob
ably reach 10000. The legislature
will be two-thirds democratic, thus
securing for them two U. s. Seua-
tors. The vote for this county is not
yet reported in full. Enough is
known, however, to insure the cleo
ton of the entire democratic county
ticket.
