Mrs. Perkins then rumaged the office,
tipping tables over and moving book
cases in her search for the recreant
husband and that hussy Julia, to the
infinite amusement of Perkins, until
she finally upset the telephone-stand
and broke the connecting wire. A
blank occurs at this point, extending
to late in the evening, when Mrs. Per-
kins came home after an unsuccessful
search at all the theaters. Perkins
says the bruise, extending from the
corner of his right eye across the
bridge of his nose, and disappearing
on the left corner of his mouth, was
caused by running against closet
door in the dark, but it is a significant
fact that he has sold his telephone
and uses the wire for clothes-line.

Perkins and His Telephone

Perkins is one of those progressive
men who want to try every new in
vention that is brought out. His last
freak was to get enthused over the
telephone, and have one put into his
house, connected with one in the office
on California street. lie foresaw great
advantages resulting from this ar.
rangement. He could hold affection
ate conversations with his wife when
business vas slack, and tell her what
time he would come to dinner. She
could tell him when JOHNNY fell down
the cellar stairs and skinned his nose,
and insist on Perkins calling three OF
four doctors. In fact, the uses of this
instrument we're innumerable and in.
valuable. Perkins found them so, as
will be shown. Last Monday he was
discoursing with Mrs. Perkins about a
new bonnet, when a brother broker
came i'm to see about some stocks. Per-
kins telephoned to his wife that he
was engaged, and turned around to
talk business without dIsconnecting
the instrument.
He talked about Julia, Lady Byron
and other stocks, while Mrs. Perkins
listened intently lat the other end
of the line, occasionally catching a
name and wondering what on earth
he could be talking about. Her
suspicious were somewhat aroused,
and when Perkins said to the broker
in loud tone as he went out, "Tll
take Julia at go" she knew there
was a woman in the case, and con-
I,,otoH borsalf oa,NrIfnrlv Tho fret
thing Perkins knew the telephone was
kicking up an awful row. I'll Julia
-villain-married fifteen
years-here, you, Johnny, saw the
handle off that broom, quick, or I'll
skin you alive-where's my rubbeTs
just wait till | get hold of him.
These were some of the sounds that
reverberated through the telephone
in confused manner ,intermixed with
a general racket that denoted active
and warlike preparations in the
enemy's camp. Perkins saw that his
only safety lay in getting home by a
eircuitous route, and trusting to his
ingenuity in appeasing her wrath when
she returned from her sortie. He &C.
cordingly locked the door and put his
plan into execution.
lie reached home about the same
time that Mrs. p. arrived at the Office,
and putting his ear to the telephone,
he heard her try ing the door. Think
ing to appease her wrath, he placed
his mouth near the vibrator and said,
in a voice loud enough TO be heard
through the door, ssDon't be angry
love. | wouldn't look at any other w0
man; you know | love no one but you.
Mrs Perkins was listening at the door,
and heard his endearing words, but mis-
taking their application, her suspic.
ions were confirmed. A furious broom
stick attack upon the door followed,
and the crash of glass told Perkins
that an entrance had been effected,

Take walk with me any day in the
centres of the financial, insurance.
commercial, and manufacturing inter-
ests, and could point out a score or
two of men whose salaries are over
$50, 900, many more who receive over
$25, ZOO per year, and hundreds whose
income from salary alone runs from
So, 900 to $4,000. Not by any means
does the remuneration depend upon
educational advantages. On the con-
trary, some of the highest-priced
officials are self made men with good
common scart-horse sense" Away up
town is the Superintendent of large
sugar-refinery whose salary is $4,000
per year. Many years ago he came
here poor German sugar-retiner, and
worked for day s wages. He was fer
tile in genius, experimental great
deal, and made valuable discoveries in
the refinery process. He was rapidly
promoted in salary and position and,
when he received and was about to ac-
cept a salary of $4,000 from a rival
refinery, he was offered $4,000 to
remain. In the brewer inter.
est l recall persons whose salaries run
away up into the thousands. Two
managers of large breweries inIthis city
and neighborhood are paid $4,000
each, five are paid SIS, 900 each, and
seven receive SO, 900 per year. Many
of our railroad officials receive princely
salaries. Jewett, Receiver of the Erie,
gets $4,000 Toucey, Superintendent
of the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad, it is said, receives $780,
600; the General Manager of the Penn
sylvania Railroad is credited with re-
ceiving SIS, 200; the 'head man" of
the New York & Boston is paid $780,
900, while few General Managers of
leading Eastern roads receive less than
$4,000 The bank Presidents receive
enormous sums. At least six receive
$4,000 per year each; nine range
from $25, 900 to $50, 900 and number
gets from $4,000 to $4,000. The same
is true of the steamship Interest,"
large number of the higher officials
pocketing all the way from $4,000 to
$50, ZOO per year for their services to
the corporations they represent. Life
and fire insurance furnishes field of
great expectations on the part of those
who aspire to become President and
Secretaries of companies. The Com
panies have always been shy of expos
ing the sums paid their chief officials.
Fortunately our Legislature took the
matter into consideration, and forced
the leading Companies to give the in
formation desired. Eighteen compan-
les responded very reluctantly. Three
Presidents received $4,000 or over
per year, three 5000 or over, three
$l2, 900, and thel balance run from 49,
900 to $ll 1857. Mr.. Hyde, of the Equit-

Murderer Convicted at Mankato.

A dastardly murder was committed
in Medo, Blue Earth county, Minn.,

no one present except her son, twelve
years old, when the murderer ap.
preached within about eighteen feet
