How 10 Choose u Wife.

"A place for everything, aud every.
thing is in its place." said tho patri-
arch to his daughter. " Select wife,
my son, who will never step over q
broom.stick." The son was obcdient 10
tho lesson. " Now" said he pleasant
ly, on u gay May day, to one of his
companions, II appoint that broom
stick to choose mo a wife. The young
lady who will not step over it, shall
have the eEcr Of my hand" They
passed from the splendid saloon to the
grove. Some STUMBLED over the
broom.stick and others jumped over it.
1t length young lady stopped and
put it in its place, The promise was
fulfilled ; she became tho wife Of an cd.
ucatcl aud wealthy young man, and be
tho husband Of o prudent, industrious
and lovely wife. Hc brought fortune
10 her, and she knew how to savO ouc.
1t was not easy to decide which was
under tho greatest obligation, both
were rich, aud each CurichCd the other.

An Arrest and Escape.

Several years ago murder was
committed near Brownsville, Texas, BY
thrco men, who claimed that the party
murdered had been guilty Of horse
stealing. Two Of the raen wCrc taken
and punished. The third, one Tuttie,
who had few years previous to the
murder cmigrated TO Texas from Han
cock county, escaped. Since that
time detectives have been on the look
out for Tuttle about his old homo near
Greenfield. On Saturday last be was
recognized at picnic near Palestine
in Hancock county, aud was arrested
by IN official from Texas, assisted by
the sheriff Of Hancock County. Tut
tic begged TO bc taken home that he
might hid good.by to bis wife and
child. The officers acceled to his re-
quest and accompanied him to his
home. lie explained to bis wife the
situation, and told her ho had como to
bid her q last good.by. Alter taking
leave Of bis wife, ho took his little
child in his arms to say gOOd.by to
him. Apparently overcome by his
emotions, he let tho child full, when
his wife spFang forward to pick up the
little fellow. getting between Tuttlo
and tho oilicors. Quick as thought
Tuttlc, seeing his opportunity, rushed
through tho house and into large

and fred several shots after him, but
ho paid no attention to tho calls or
shots, and soon had tho roasting ears
between himself and pursuors. Know
ing that futile was armed, the officers
did not pursue into tho corn, aud Tut

that Tuttlo might possibly return to the
house, the officers hayO been on the
watch ever siuca, but without avail.

4 Salutary Remark.

When I was ayoung man, there
lived 10 our ncighbOrhool a farmer who
was usually reported to be a very libar.
al man, and uacomonly upright in his
dealings. When ho had uuy Of the
produce of his farm to dispose Of, ho
made it au iuvasiablc rule to give good
mcasura-rather moro than would oc
required Of him. One Of his friends
observing him frequently doing SO,
questioned him as to why he did it
he told him ho gave to much, and said
it would be to bis disadvantage. Now
dear reader, mark the answer Of this
excellent man:
"GOd has permitted nc but one
journey through the world, and when
I am gone l cannot return to rcctify
mistakes"
Think of this. There is but ono
journey through life.

Preservation Of Eggs.

The most effective preservation for
eggs that has yet been proposed. is
linsccd oil, or cottOusecd oil may be
used instead. BY carefully coating
fresh eggs with either of these oils, aud
packing them. small end downward, in
any dry porous substance, that is nOu-

cuttings, or maple sawdust, they have

and if single unkind word had been

President Lincoln us an Anti Slavery
Man.

Mr.. Lincoln was always an anti-sla.
very man, but, as have said, was
never q politician abolitionist. Events
aud war necessity compelled him to
adopt the policy Of emancipation, for
which he has received Gni deserved
mcritod honors; but those who applaud
his course in that respect omit to men,
tioR that colonization and deportation
Of tue slaves when set free was deemed
by him IN essential part Of his cmun
cipation policy. Whether right or
wrong ou that subject it is net nee
cssary to discuss, but the trath need
not be suppressed. lie believed it
would bo best for both tho whites aud
bucks that the latter should leave the
country, or, rs ho expressed it in bis
interview with tue cOlOrcl representa-.
tivcs, ait is better for US both to be
separated" Knowing his convictions
and carncs! soliCitudc on this branch
Of bis policy, l have sometimes doubted

Yankee Trick.

Just before the Declaration Of Iudc-
pcndcncc, q Yankee pcddlcr started
down to New York to sell lot oi
bowls and dishes he had made Of ma.
pic. Jonathan travelled over the city,
asking everybody to buy his wares, but
no one was disposed to purchase.
1t happened that British feet was
then lying in tho harbour Of New York
and Jonathan struck upon a plan Of
selling his dishes. He go: naval
uniform, by hook or by crook (fOr his.
tory doesn't tell where hc got it. and
struttiug up town, ono morning, asked
merchant if he had any nice wooden
ware, as tho commodore wanted q lot
for tie feet.
The merchant replied that he had
none on hand, but there was some in
town, aud if he would send in the af-
ternOou hO would supply him with
pleasure.
Very good" said our naval officer;
I will call" !
Jonathan now cut for home, BY the
shortest route, and he had scarcely
dOlTcd his borrowed plumugc before
down came the merchant, who, seeing
that Jonathan had sold mono Of bis
wares, offered to take the whole Of it
if he would deduct fifteen per cent ;
but Jonathan said he'd bu gol.darned
if he didn't take EN- houc, before he'd
take cent less than bis first price.
The merchant finally paid down in
gold his price for tho wooden ware,
which laid on bis shelves for many a
long day thereafter; and Jonathan
trot,cd home in high glcc at tho sue.

HON. A. II. STEPHENS INTER
VIEWED.

Mr.. Stephens was promptly inter
viewed ou his arrival here. He says
tho Presidents reception at the South
vas a tribute to an administration that
has been in accordance with the con-
stiIutional principles ofhomc rule. lie
objects to the term " Southern policy.
because it gives it q sectional aspect,
whereas it cndeavors to do away with
tho yoxcd question Of North and
South" lie prefers to call it q "con-
stitutiOnal policy" He said Hayes
has done more for pacifcatioH of the
country than TiLcu could have done
il he had been iuauguratcd; and he
thinks the appointment Of rGprCsCn-
taiiye Southern man, such rs HGrschcl
Y. johnson, Of G corgia, to the vacun.
cy in the UHited States Supreme Court
would be q further puciGcatOry step.

The Rochester Convention.

The Republican Convention of this
State yesterday was the most important
Convention Of tho party held for many
years. It not only showed ar. Hayes
that his attempts to humiliate and
crush the eloquent Republican Senator,
who is recognized as leader of tho par
ty, had resulted in utter failure, buI
| it confirmed that Senator in his con
trolling position by showing that he
has the full support of bis party in the
Stale. The Convention was a triumph
for Mr.. Conkliug. It not only submit
ted to his leadership. but was eager to
enjoy it, and from the first to tho last
delighted 10 honor him by following
his judgement in great matters US we'll
us in lesser. The Convention was a
modification to Mr.. Hayes. 1t treated
him with contempt. 1t put into its
Craftsmanship the man, Mr.. Plat,
who had excorlated him and his policy
and his Cabinet. It adopted o plat
form in which he was ignored-an ex-
pcricncc ofportcutiOus Significance. 1t
applauded the language that was dircC-
ted against him. Itgavo no more than
passing notice to tho words of tho fcV
advocates who appeared in his defence.
1t threw out tho resolutions that were
offered to endorse him. Nay, i! even
went so far as to throw doubt on his
title by referring to him as Mr.. Hayes.
Tho first and Fundamental resolution
is a sweeping and elaborate denuucia-
ton of the civil service policy which
Hayes has tried to make the lending
feature Of his administration, and
speaks Of it 10 just and vigorous terms,
us IN intolorablc violation Of the rights
Of tho American citizen. Thus Hayes
stands before bis party in tho leading
State in tho Union, scornel aud help
less.
1t cannot be said that in this case
SGuatOr Conkliug controlled . Con-
vcptiOn Of Office. .hollcrs and parasites
1t vas II Convention Of stauach. old
time Republicans, who have been the
backbone Of the purity since its fouu1a.
tiou, and who now give it all the
strength it has, and without when it
could not retain oven tho sham of IN
existence.
Ths Senator shirkcd none Of tue re.
spousibility in tho premises; but, at
the opening Of tho Convention, when
declining tho position Of permanent
President, and when about to take his
place upon the Committee on ResOlu.
tiOns. ho formally announced his desire
to tako bis full share Of the rc3ponsi'
bili,y for whatever declarations might
bO made by tho Convention, aud Of the
responsibility for refusing to declare
whatever it should sec fit to refuse 10
declare. Mr.. Hayes, therefore, will
not uced 10 look far for tho man, or
tor the man, who proclaimed and sus.
taiued the sentiments that prcdomina-
ted in the Rochester Convention.
Hayes can now SEQ how much he has
gained, and to what extent ho has
strengthened himself by his iusolcnt
war upon Senator Conkliug, and upon
tue rights Of the mon who arc in the
civil service Of tho country. Tho grcat
Senator stands ready to meet him fear
lcssIy and with dofancO, and to hurl
upon him, not only the party which he
has betrayed, and which ho misreprc-
scnts, but tho bolts Of the law and the
Constitution.
