Country Wives for City Husbands.

Country Wives for City Husbands.
Our fair correspondent "Audrey" elo-
quently advises city young men to marry
country girls, and the reasons she gives
should make them pause and reflect. Moth
ing is more charming than lovely and in
telligent girl, who has lived with birds and
flowers. That such creatures should con-
sent to wed poor city clerks and exchange
the freedom of the country for the confined
life Of the city is strange, but their anxiety to
be courted by city men is another proof Of
the generosity of the female sex. We are
told by Audrey" that there are thousands
Of young ladies in the country only waiting,
like roses, to be gathered and transplanted
to bloom in city homes. All that is said Of
country girl is generally independent, self
reliant, accustomed to work and happy, and
competent to take charge of household.
girl brought up in habits of economy and
simplicity is likely to make better wife for
a poor man than one to whom the luxuries
Of city have become almost the necessities
Of life. But audrey" must not suppose
that the domestic virtues blossom only in
villages and farms. In New York there are
many young women of intelligence and cul-
ture who support themselves by daily toll
and depend upon no man for help. They
would be good wives to young men with
small means, but who wish to establish
happy homes of their own. This, however,
should not prevent young gentlemen who
are in search Of wife from acting upon "Au-
drey's' excellent suggestions, and we have
her assurance that there are not likely to be
many refusals. Indeed, the anxiety of eau
drey" to make proposals popular is SO plain
that it recalls the old BALLAD
ali you should desire for to marry,
And pity this sorrow and woe,
desire you young man, not TO larry"
Said the pretty maid a-rnilking her cow

Some OF our contemporaries confound the
provisions of the Omnibus BILL which is
now in the hands of the Governor, with
those Of the New York Charter Amendment
bill, known as the Woodin charter, which is
still before the Legislature 1t is signifi-
can't that in advancing reasons why the
Governor should withhold his approval
from the Omnibus bill the journals which
make this mistake commend the provisions
it really contains and condemn those which
they enormously suppose to be there, but
which are not in the bill at all The Omni-
bus bill provides for spring municipal
election, gives the Mayor the power to
appoint heads of departments without re-
curing confirmation by the Board of Alder
men, reduces the salaries Of Aldermen from
five thousand dollars year to two thou
sand, abolishes the Dock and Build
ing departments, the Office of Public
Administrator, the Bureau of Licenses
and the Commission for the Erection and
Completion of the County Buildings, trans
ferring their respective duties to other de-
partments places the Park, Fire and Excise
departments each under a single Commits
sioner, and the departments of Police and
Charities and Correction each under two
Commissioners makes one officer, the Re-
ceiver OF Taxes and Assessments, perform
the duties now spread among three officials
namely, the Receiver Of Taxes, the Collector
of Assessments and the Deputy Collector of
Assessments; and authorizes the revision
and REORGANIZATION Of the tax budget for
the present year by the Board of Apportion-
ment in order that the amount of tax to be
levied may be decreased to the extent of the
economies secured by the bill. The Gov
ernor will no doubt carefully consider these
provisions, and his decision will be gov
erned by the merits of the bill, and not by
its effect on individual or political interests.

operating too boldly. There is more likely
to be decline in prices than q
further advance, and the operators will
try to save themselves by undertaking the
supply in the American market They can
do this with great seeming plausibility by
quoting authentic figures Of recent wheat
receipts in Chicago and Milwaukee. During
the month Of April there was a falling off OF
about one-half in the receipts of wheat at
these two important lake ports as compared
with the receipts during the same month
last year, while the receipts of other grain
and hogs are larger than in April, 1876 To
n person who should read the figures with
out reflection this would look MS if there
were but little wheat in the West and could
that impression be diffused the present
speculative price Of wheat could be main
tanned and the over-venturesome operators
be saved from loss while they are unload
ing. But the diminished receipts at Chi
cage and Milwaukee do not prove scarcity
of wheat in the West. but only that it has
been rushed forward to the Atlantic sea-
board by other channels than the one it
usually takes in the spring of the year.
Ordinarily great amount Of wheat is poured
into Chicago and Milwaukee in the month Of
April. to take advantage Of the opening of
lake navigation and cheap transportation by
water. But this year the spectators are too
impatient to get their wheat to market and
realize the buoyant war prices to await the
slow and circuitous navigation of the lakes
and the Erie Canal and the greater portion
is sent by rail. The region of country
south and west Of Chicago ships directly
for the Atlantic ports, without sending the
wheat to Chicago. The receipts in New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore are larger
than they have ever been before, notwith-
standing the great falling off in the lake
ports With these precautionary explana-
tons to prevent readers from being misled
we invite attention to the interesting grain
statistics in our commercial columns.

yesterday told the President SO. Mr.. Cowles
thinks it is the Southern policy which dis.

courses on the tenets Of Free Ma

In addition to the public lecture

way, is the very embodiment OF

expatiated largely to an attentive
audience of Masons, at Montgom-
cry Lodge on Monday and Tues
day, upon the Importance OF the
Masters work, Of the ties that
bind Masons together in q common
bond of fraternity and brotherly
love, of the imperative necessity
felt and appreciated by all true
Masons, to make their lives and
conduct so conform to the ancient
landmarks and injunctions of Holy
Writ, that all would experience a
sense of their own justification, by
faith in the Masters art.
It was one of those emotional,
grand and impressive declarations
that only speakers of his depth
Of thought and symmetry Of Ian
guage can utter. His exempli6ca-
tons of the Masters work was so
nicely and appropriately fitted to-
gether, that all who heard him
were delighted and enraptured
beyond their most sanguine expec-
tations.
