Matte Strickland, the St. Johns tMich.) girl
who was married few years ago to Leo Miller
of Minnesota, according to a free-love contact OF
their own drawing up, is said to have arisen and
gone unto her father.
The sportsmen of Liege, Belgium, have offered
prize for the cat of greatest speed in the city
The method of sscertsining the superior animal Is
of . ludicrous nature. The cats are to be brought
in boxes to public square on = certain night, and
at night to be re ased. The distance between
the square and the houses of the owners of the
several cats is to be measured and the cat max
ing the greatest speed to its own back yard is to
receive the prize.
Actors have their supersitions. Tony Pas,ei
stated few of them to a reporter of the Alban,
Express recently, in this way "WeU DOW, there's
no Snowman on the road who would think of let
ting lady be first to pass through the doors whe

Some one (evidenty not bachelor) writing on
the secret of happiness, says Men and women
wed each other to be happy. And why not, if
they marry wisely The woman should always
be little younger. little prettier and little
more considerste than her husband. lie should
bestow upon her all his worldly goods, and she
should take care of them. He may owe her every
care and tenderness that affection can prompt; but
pecunisry Indebtedness to her will become bur-
den. Better live on a crust he has earned than a
fortune she has brought him. Neither must be
jealous, nor give the other cause for jealousy
Neither must encourage sentimental friendships
for the opposite sex. Perfect confidence in each
other, and retcence concerning their mutual af-
fairs even to members of their own families, is q
first necessity. wife should dress herself becom-
ingly whenever she expects to meet her husbands
eye. The man should not grow slovenly, even at
home. Fault finding, long arguments or seedlings
end the happiness that begins in kisses and love-
making. Sisters and brothers may quarrel and
make up" Lovers are lovers no longer after
such disturbances occur and married people who
are not lovers are bound by red hot chains. If
man admres his wife most in prints she is silly
not to wear them. If she likes him best in black
cloth, he is fool if he neglects to indulge in it.
They should contrve to please each other, even if
they please no one else for their mutual happi-
ness can only be the result of their mutual love
and that love will never fail to exat its object.

The South and the North must alike re-

Congress will meet in extra session next
Monday. The occasion for this extra SEES
sion is to provide for deficiencies in the
war and navy departments, caused by the
refusal of the democrats to pass the usual
appropriation bills. The forty.fifth Con-
gress begins with this session and an organ
ization Of the House will first be necessary.
There are plenty of candidates for the
Speakership but Mr.. Randall is likely to
be chosen. Besides making appropria.
lions for the army, Congress will be asked
TO take action to secure a proper repre-
sentation of the United States at the Paris
exhibition. The Senate will be called
upon to consider some important nomina-
tons which the President will send to it.
This business could be shortly disposed of.
But when Congressman are once assem-
bled al Washington matters are likely to
arise which will prolong the extra to the
time of the regular session of Congress in
December.

Mail scandal and justly resent with indig-
nation any attempt to reopen the way to a
repetition of such corruptons. If steam
ship companies can't keep their crafts
aHoat without buoying them to the nation
al greenback box then let them sink to
the bottom at once and forever. England
has steamship lines running to the four
quarters of the globe, which receive no
subsidies whatever, except the regular
ocean postage on the mails which they
carry. Aud as to the ocean mail routes
from our own country now, there Is COM
potion for the business. The Govern
ment has no right to 90 into the subsld-
Izing business, and at this time especial
ly the slightest squirting in that direction
would meet with the sleruost condemna-
tion. -AiJday JouraaL

ACoNsIsrENT REPUBLICAN.

In commenAon the Ohio election the Bangor
Wing says: The returns really need no common
tary they speak for themselves. There can be
no winking the real significance out of sight, for
the Ohio dispatches coming through sources SYM
pathetic with the Administration are compelled to
admit the "seiious detection in republican strong
holds" and that the Southern policy of the Ad-
mini,tratou" is responsible for the falling off in
the Republican vote.
The question now is whether the President will
recognize the voice Of the party which elected
him, or, in spite Of this powerful protest, 90 or
with policy" that has wiped out republicanism
in the South, given its own great State over to
democratic control and promises to hand the Ma
tional Government over to the rule of the men
who sought to destroy it and build up Human
Slavery on its ruins"

by President MacMahon in June. The
situation is critical. The excitement is
