How Wife Was Restored to Health,

An almost miraculous cure, saws the
Chicago Tribune, is reported from Shell
don street, the patient being the wife of
a well.to-do citizen. She has for years
been ailing, or thinking she was aiiing,
and recently took her death-bed and
kept her husband unhappy by lamenting
that she Vas going to die. Yesterday her
husband went out and got buxom
young widow, who is her particular, ab.
horrencc, to come in aud look over the
house. Tho dying woman heard him
opening doors and explaining things.
and lay wracked with indignation and
curiosity. Presently the bnxom Young
widow departed and the husband re-
turned to the sickroom. No sooner had
he entered than she accosted him:
Peter Whitehead Hollingworth, what
have you done" '8'
Nothing, my love, nothing. Don't
excite yourself. BE calm. Only ns vnn
were complaining that you couldn't get
up to see after things, aud that the house
was going to wreck and ruin; thought
ia ask Mrs. Dasher in to let me know
what could be done to save you trouble
and relieve your mind of anxiety.h
"Oh, you did?" she murmured with a
deep. inspiration. IN
/, Yes, l showed her oil over the
house" .,;,,..,
"And the beds not made, and every.
thing like Ii pig.styW W0'f -''3.~ 81
"Never mind, my love. Iitold her
that she must excuse it, as you were sick,
because you were good housekeeper.
And she said y,a must be.n 3
/ ooh, she did 2" SIS s4rs.s. Ia
+ "Yes, and said that if she had, her way
she'd have new set Of parlor furniture
in, and less vulgar wall paper, but that
some people had no taste anyway, and
by the way, Maria, you and Mrs. Dasher
arc pretty much Of size, ain't You p"
Then he fell into trance that lasted for
some minutes, then muttering, "Wen,
perhaps they'll fit; if not, they can be
made over" -.
! When the husband went home last
night he was surprised to see his dying
wife UP and dressed, and bossing things
with n metallic ring in aer voice and a
glitter in her eye such as he hadn't seen
there for years, and when he innocently
remarked, "Why, Maria, had hardly ex-
ipected to see you up again." she said,i'I
know it, you baldheaded old reprobate;
but I'll live to bury you yet, and if that
painted Jazebel comes into this house
again I'll tear her into cotton waste and
jate strings." tsee2fi

No estamos de acuerdo con Ell CO.
lega, como Sc desprende de 10 que
llevamos dicho, que no este en- mano
de las autoridades fscales de Cuba
svitar que Sc introduced tabaco ex-
tranjero la sombra del de Puerto
Rico. Asf como nuestro cortes anita
gonista conoci6 pertectamente ell que
era de Honduras, Santo Domingo y
Kentucky, asf los empleados del res
guardo pueden distinguirlo perfecta-
mente, y detenerlo como fraudulento.
Y 81 averiguan que algun fancionario
de Puerto-Rico ha dejado embarcar
para Cuba un tercio de tabaco extran-
jero como del pats, den de clio parte,
On Ia seguridad de que aquf sera in
mediatamente suspendido de su cargo;
pues 81 bien esta aquf permitida la
importation de dicho tabaco extran-
jero, esta tambien rigurosamente pro-
hibido que Sc exporte para Ia grande
Antilla.
Va vd nuestro estimado colega que
es possible acabar con el contrabando
sin echar mano de prohibiciones nj
suspensiones contraproducentes Ell
NAL que 10 mismo 81 que nosotros
queremos evitar en- favor de las dos
provincias hermanas no esta en- el
perlniso de que disfiuta Puerto Rico
sino er los que autorizan el fraude
Con buenos empleados no habr& con
trabando; con empleados in6eles Sc
hara siempre, aunque Sc revoque Ia
autorizacion que para llevar nuestra
rama 4 Cuba SO han servido conce
dernos el Gobierno Supreme.
