HOME CONYERSA TON.

have known families who, year after
year, lived under one roof, yet hardly
ever conversed with each other. They
were on speaking terms, of course, about
the ordinary concerns of every day life.
The father and mother gave orders, and
the children made replies when necessary
but real lively tea-table chat was I'M
heard of in the house. The father and
mother never converted with each other.
in any fair sense of the term CONVERSE
ton. They grumbled at each other at
times, perhaps, and threw out hints.
But an earthquake would hardly aston
ish them more than little praise OF each
other. The children would almost fear
father was going to die, if he should once
talk to them in kindly and commend
ing tone, or speak to them in an encour-
aging way. They were not used to it.
1t is generally a sulky and silent
father that sets the tune of such house
hold. There may be exceptions, it is
true, but most women rather like to
have things pleasant about the house
than otherwise. But this is hardly pos
sible where the father is morose or sharp
tongued. The very face of such man
is enough to cloud the domestic sky on
the brightest birthday. His lowering
brow, even when he does not speak a
word, declares there is "rod in pickle"
for somebody. The chief study is to
find out on whom it is likely to fall.
If you are one of these petty tyrants in
your small realm, think over the matter
until you thoroughly despise your prac-
tice. Picture to yourself the unlovely
and unloved old age that is coming on,
when your children have all deserted
you, and be warned in time. Drop your
old scolding tone and speak cheerfully.
Praise where you can, wife and children,
and see if the change don't revolutionize
your home world. There has to be a
revolution socially on a grand scale, now
and then, to correct abuses and even of,
so there needs to be very thorough one
this very day in thousand and one
homes in this regard.
Talk to each ether pleasantly and en-
couragingIy. Form plans and talk about
them at the table, and get the opinion of
one another. Encourage the children to
come to. you Tor sympathy, and do not
let them meet with disappointment. If
we come to think it over perhaps we
shall be surprised to find how little the
most of us converse with the members Of
our own household.

PEOPLE who intend to exhibit at the
centennial exposition and have already
engaged space on the grounds should not
delay to put in an appearance until
within a short time of the opening day.
April % is the last day on which arti des
for exhibition can be received, but it is
desirable that as much as possible should
be done before that time approaches.
The great buildings are nearly all COM
plctcd, and ample facilities for the ar
rangement of goods are furnished.

EXPORTING COTTON GOODS.

The Fall River correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes that the beneficial
results accruing from the shipment of
cotton goods to England are becoming
every day more apparent, and the outlook
is decidedly hopeful and encouraging.
The success of Mr.. George F. Hatha-
ways visit to England is shown in the
great activity and busy hustle among the
Fall River mills. About fifteen thousand
pieces of print cloths-one- eighth OF the
entire production of the city-are now
exported each week, and for these goods
better net prices are received abroad than
at home. 1t has been said that the Fall
River manufacturers sought by this move
ment simply to tide over" an unusually
depressed period, and the inference has
been drawn that with the return of
brisk home demand they would gladly
throw the goods back again into the
home channels. But the developments
that have arisen from the endeavor have
given to the project degree of certainty
and of permanence that the manufac-
turers themselves did not anticipate.
The superiority of these goods as COM
pared with those of English manufacture
is readily apparent. They are made of
better cotton, are frmer and of much
handsomer texture. The goods on the
other side are so filled with sizing that
when they come to be printed the shrink
age is enormous, averaging, it is said,
fully one-tifth, while the shrinkage of the
| American cloths is comparatively tritiing,
averaging at the outside not over per
cent. In fact, so high an opinion have
the English manu- sacturcrs of the cottons
made on this side that they not unire-
quently place upon their foreign ship
mcnts the American trade mark in order
to dispose OF them to better advantage.

Mr.. JAMES PARTON and his wife have
Petitioned the Massachusetts, legislature
for the passage of special act legalizing
their marriage. In the petition they
say: All the requirements of law, so
far as known to them, or to the witnesses
OF the ceremony, were complied with.
That is to say, license was procured;
the ceremony ives performed by a clerry-
man re sident in the town; several wit
nesses were present; and the usual no
tice was published in the Newburyport
Herald of the next morning. All was
done openly, and, 30 far as we then knew
or have since ascertained, with the warm
approval of all who are acquainted with
the circumstances of our case. We did
not leave the state of Massachusetts for
the purpose of evading any law of Massa-
chusetts, but to comply with the most
necessary and fundamental of all laws,
which is that marriage shall have legal
sanction We are assured by learned
counsel that we are now lawfully mar
ried everywhere in the world except per
hars in the state of Massachusetts,. The
doubt ~ concerning our legal condition
here. where it is of vital importance to
us, where we live and esteem it a priv
lcge to live. The weight of opinion, as
we arc advised. is that our marriage is
valid in this state also, and that we may
live here in peace and honor"

The London Spectator says that the
recent terrible railway accident in Eng
land has caused unusual excitement"
Certainly no one can be surprised to hear
that. A more horrible instance of
slaughter has seldom been heard Of A
passenger train ran into a coal train, and
injured several persons. Then an ex-
press train crashed into the wreck, and
killed outright four or five passengers,
among them the eldest son of Mr.. Bou-
cicault, the well-known author and actor.

WINsLow, the Boston monstrosity, ap-
pears to be the fruit of the indiscriminate
matrimonial system of this country. He
is, it seems, rascal by birth. Thomas
Winslow was a counterfeiter; Mark Win
slow was counterfeiter and suicide;
Edward Winslow spent half his life in
Jail; Lucretia Winslow married man
who was hanged for murder, and herself
narrowly escaped conviction as his ac-
complete. Besides, two sisters of Win
slow married well-known counterfeiters.
There is no proof that the original Win
slow wrote to any answers-to-correspon
dents man for advice about marrying,
but the result of his venture seems to in
dictate that he did.

As long ago as February Is, 1872, an
editorial in the New York Tribune ex-
posed the facts in connection with the
outragesperpetrated by Evansand Marsh,
the post-traders at Fort Sill. The closing
paragraph of the editorial alluded to is
as follows: "Marsh, the nominal trader
at Fort Sill, is understood to be special
friend of the secretary of war. This
friendship, it appears, enables him to live
at his ease at New York on an income of
$4,000 a year, which is extorted. from
the soldiers and officers at the fort by the
actual traders, to whom he farms out ,
the privilege the secretary has given him.
These traders, to make the enormous
sum they pay to Marsh in addition to a
profit for themselves, must of necessity
charge prices which are little less than
robbery The facts stated in the above
letter are vouched for by another officer
of high rank whose name is withdrawn
because it would he unjust to force upon
him quarrel with the war department.
If any doubt is entertained of their truth,
n proper inquiry will settle the doubt

RESUMPTION in silver coin ought to
be easy enough, for silver is getting
TO be drug in all the markets of
the world. On February the whole
sale merchants of San Francisco held a
meeting and voted that "whereas the
discount on silver has reached such a
magnitude as to require some united ac-
ton, therefore resolved that hereafter we
will not receive silver in payment of ac-
counts due, and bills hereafter sold, in
larger sums than provided by law, ex-
cept at the ruling rate of discount when
payment is made" And the same paper
in which these resolutions appear de-
clarcs on its editorial page that silver
has become almost as common as rag
money and at a discount not much in
ferior;" in other words, that the paper
currency of the United States has con-
tinually risen in value as compared with
gold, while silver has somewhat depre-
ciated.

New YORK. Oct. l9.-The Tribune 8
Washington special says: The Senatorial
statement as to the concentration of 49,
900 troops from the Department of the
Atlantic at Columbia, s. G., are made in
nearly all the Democratic papers. They
are not tenable. General Sherman said
tonight that such stories are mischiev-
ously false. as there are less than five
thousand troops in the whole Depart
msnt OF the Atlantic, which are available
for any purpose whatever.
The soldiers at the reunion of the
Army OF the Tennessee, are very much
excited at the Southern situation.
There is great deal of belligerent talk
among them. and some OF their fore
most men say with earnestness that If
they should ever take the field again
they will follow Summers plan and de-
stroy State lines.
The Republicans, and independent
Democrats, the latter under General
Slocum, made a successful union in the
Kings county, Brooklyn nominations,
This is accounted as favorable to the
Republican ticket.

From Rev. SyIvanus Cobb, OF Boston,
formerly Editor OF the ''Christian

Freeman
DEAR SIR:-It may be some satisfac-
ton to you to be informed of the result
of the trial of the Peruvian Syrup in my
family. My daughter was brought low
by typoid fever last Spring. and after the
fever lett her she continued very weak,
and the simplest food distressed her.
For months she remained in the same
debilitated condition; but from the first
of September last, when she commenced
taking the Syrup, the digestive functions
improved, and she steadily gained
strength and vivacity; and now. after
taking two bottles, she ia restored to q
good state of health; indeed, she appears
more really healthy than she has for
several years past. am of opinion that
the "Protoxide of Iron" contained in
the Peruvian Syrup, was adapted to her
case, and effected what no other known
medicine could have effected.
Yours truly, s. CoBB.

Welded SiNGLENEsS.

How many wives sit alone tonight.
BY the ireside lonely sad gray
Weaving dreams Of possible tuturs
BY giving her fancy full play.
Not a sound breaks the wesrying stiffness
That attends her long lonely hours,
For the children are sleeping as sweetly
As the sleep Of the dew-lsden flowers.
Every book in the house has boon read
From Paley" down to " Marx Twain"
so sit here idly dreaming
As list to the pattering rain.
But then 1t never would do you know
For a gentleman friend to call;
Madam Grundy would raise such a rumpus
That the very Heavens might fall.
Did our husbands but know by experience
The long lonely vigils We keep,
Would they find it convenient l wonder
To come home ere we re asleep.
