The Matrimonial Greed.
New Haven Register. ]

Whosoever will be married, before
all things it is necessary that he hold
the conjugal faith: and the conjugal
faith is this: That there were two
rational beings created, both equal,
and yet one superior to the other, and
the inferior shall bear rule over the
superior, which faith, except every
one keep whole and undefiled, without
doubt, he shall be scolded at everlast-
ingly.
The man is superior to the woman
and the woman is inferior to the man;
yet both are equal, and the woman
shall govern the man.
The woman is commanded to obey
the man, and the man ought to obey
the woman.
And yet there are not two obedients
but one obedient.
For there is one dominion nominal
of the husband, and another dominion
| real of the wife.
And yet there are not two dominions
but one dominion. ... ..
! For, like as we are compelled by the
| Christian verify to acknowledge tha
| wives must submit themselves to the1I
husbands and be subject to them in al
| things,
So are we forbidden by the conjuea
aith to say that they should be at al

The political campaign in this dis
trict wa opened at Currituck court
house on Tnursdsy After the ad-
journment of court by Judge Eure. a
number of persons gathered under
the trees on the side Of Mrs Sim
mons hotel, to listen to speeches from
the candidates. The candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, Thomas J. JAR
Wis, was unable to be present in con-
sequence of the serious illness of a
member of his family. Major Jos. 4 .
Engelhard, candidate for S Secretary If
State, first addressed tho assembl: Z
from the piazza of the hotel. He was
presented to the audience by DIR. Fl.
G. Land. Major Engelhard, after
explaining the absence of Cur
rituck's distinguished son, Thomas J.
Jarvis, spoke upon the political guess
tions which divide the two parties, for
over an hour, dwelling at considerable
length upon the great questions of re-
form in the character and expendl~
lures of the government. He ctarac-
terized the administration of the gov
ernment under republican rule. as
marked by extravaganza, racklessness
and dishonesty. He proved his state
humorous sallies in illustration of his
remarks were appropriate and we'll
told, and seemed to be appreciated by
his audience, who were in accord with
the speaker.
Col. Thomas s. Kenan, the candi~
date for Attorney General, succeeded
Maj. EngeIhard in u stirring speech of
about one hour and half. Col. Ke
nan reviewed most of tha subjects
spoken of by Maj. Engelhard. and some
which had not been referred to. His
arguments in favor Of the constitu-
tional amendments were presented
with much force, and appeared to be
satisfactory and convincing to the au-
dience. His peroration, referring in
eulogistic terms to the character and
public services of Samuel J. Tilden,
was received with enthusiastic ap.
plause.

| matters. He explained the object of
his visit. After completing his Dusi-
ness he told me he was going to- leave
| that night for England. understood
he left. He returned to Wilmington
about February or March. Knowing
he had purchased the plantation aud
that he intended settling. and as I had
formed his acquaintance. I called on
him. at the Manning House. I raw
hlm afterwards some three or four
times and became scme better ac-
quainted with him. and again he left
and L understand he went to Canada.
He again returned about two weeks
ago; since his return this last time I
have seen him several times. The
opinion / formed of the young man
was that he was exceedingly excen-
trio; when talking to you he never
looked you in the face. He appeared
to be always in a melancholy state of
mind; he was not at all communica-
tive L am q practicing attorney at
law; dre ew a power of attorney for him.
DIR. M. j. DeROsset-I was requested
by the coroner to make post naOrten1
examination Of the body of MIR. Roun-
dell; found the young man lying on
the floor; found a wound on the fl re-
head a little to the right of center line
and just above the inner end of the
right eye brow; the skin around the
wound was dark from the bruises
made by the bullet, found in the back
of his neck which [ extracted; the skin
was not powder stained but the lips of
the wound were, and smelled of the
powder; the front surface of the for
finger and thumb of the left hand were
stained with blood; portion of the
skull cap WAS taken off and the brain
removed; the ball Was found to have
taken a direct inward and downward
course to the central line where it was
lodged in the occipital bone about half
inch above and behind the opening
through which the spinal column
passes. From the consideration
OF all the facts before me, it is my
opinion that deceased came to his death
by shooting himself with the pistol
which was found lying by him. a. the
ball extracted corresponded in size
with the cartridges found on his bed.
Question-Is there anything i'll the
nature Of the wound to Indicate whether
it was Intentional or accidental ?
Answer-The location nd dire ction
of wound render it probable that it
was Intentional, though it is possible
it might have been accidental.
Upon this testimony the jury of IN
quest agreed in d verdict that deceased
came to his death by pistol ball fired
from a pistol in his own hands:

SOUND. DR. j. G. Holland, in the
last Scribner, indulges in the following
sound reflections on the recent expos
ures Of corruption among such men as
Belknsp, Pendleton, Tilden, Babcock,
Schumacher. and other leading lights IN
both political parties:
1--WE are not alarmed or discouraged
by the exposures of rascality in high
places and low, which meet our eyes in
almost every mornings newspaper.
These exposures are the national pro-
duct of a healthy reaction, the prelim-
mary steps toward the national cure.
So long as fraud, peculation and de-
lection exists. the faster these expos
ures come, the better. Every exposure
is preacher Of righteousness, an evan
gelist of reform. The more dangerous
rascality and infdelity to trust can be
made to appear, the better for society.
In any cutanous disease, the more we
see of it the better. 1t is before it ap-
pears, or when it is sunk from the sur
face, that it is the most dangcroes to
the sources of life and the springs of
cure.''

Of Connecticut; brief presentation, by

Handles great ''Hallelujah.'' The

A CHICAGO firm, Graham & Co.,
dealers in fancy soaps and perfumery,
discovered last week that an old en-
pIoyee had been for years engaged in
heavy swindling upon his employers.
This is no unusual thing The best
business men in the world are at the
mercy of their employees, and no mat
ter how strictly they overlook their
business, many Of them find that a
system of fraud has been practiced for
years under their very eyes. Still,
there are people who regard it as Grim
inally neglected on the part of the
Government, that, with an army OF
10000 employees scattered over the
length and breadth Of the land, any
one of whom has as good opportunities
for committing thefts as a clerk in a
store could have, crime goes on so
long undiscovered and unpunished.
How often we hear Of defalcations
which have been carried on so cleverly
that the employers, who give their
whole time to their business, never
discover any evidence of it until they
find themselves involved in absolute
ruin. IF such things can occur, and
they do, is it not wonderful that there
are not many times more frauds COM
mitted than there are in the civil ser
vice of the government . IFaupaca
RepuJA can.
