RESPECT DUE TO WIVES.

Do not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter. Do
not speak of great virtues in another
mans wife to remind your own of a
fault Do not reproach your wife with
personal defects, for if she has sensibil-
ity you infict wound difficult to heal.
Do not treat your wife with inattention
in company; it touches her pride and
she will not respect you more or love
you better for it. Do not upbraid your
wife in the presence of third party /;
the sense of your disregard for her
feelings will prevent her acknowledging
her fault. Do not entertain your wife
by praising the beauty and accomplish
ments of other women. If you would
have a pleasant home and cheerful
wife, pass your evenings under your
own roof. Do not be stern and silent in
in your own house, and remarkable for
sociability elsewhere.

As he is ''raked in" by "spade," life's

HISTORICAL TRADITIONS OF THE DEATH
OF THE APOSTLES.

Mathew is supposed to have suffered
martyrdom, or was slain with sword
in city of Ethiopia. Mark was drag
ged through the streets of Alexandria,
in Egypt, till he expired. Luke was hung
on an olive-tree in Greece. John was
put into calndron of boiling oil and
escaped death; he afterward died nat
ural death at Ephesus. James the
Great was beheadedat Jerusalem. James
the Less was thrown from the wing of
the temple, and then beaten to death
with fuller's club. Philip was hung
up against pillar at Hierapolis. Bar
tholomew was flayed alive by the com
mand of barbarous king. Andrew
was bound to cross, whence he preach
ed to the people till he expired Thom-
as was run through the body with a
lance at Coronandel, in the East Indies.
Jude was shot to death with arrows.
Simon Zelotes was crucifed in Persia.
Matthias was first stoned, and then be-
headed. Peter, who was crucifed, as
the lesson suggests, asked that he might
be with his head downward.

sYMPATuIZERs.

What can be more discouraging than
the feeling that in our struggles through
life, in our trials and disappointments,
there are none to sympathize or care for
usl No man can go very far with
strength, courage and cheer if he goes
alone. We are made to be happier and
better by each others notice, apprecia-
tion, help and praise, and the hearts
that are debarred from those influences
invariably wither, harden and break.
Here and there are found persons who
from pride, perverseness, and often SEN
sitiveness, affect to be altogether indie
pendent of the notice or regard of their
fellow beings, but is very safe asser-
tion to make that never yet was there
one human heart that did not at some
tender and yearning hour, long for SYM
pathy of other hearts. And there is a
nobility in this feeling.

His sanetum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkish carpets, its costly rosewood

labor of editing newspaper, that is
mere moonshine. A mere glance at
the columns of newspaper Is enough
to convince you that it requires no labor

Age, when whitening for the tomb,

HONEsTF.

Faithfulness includes honesty. The
young man who loves his duty
can never be tempted to wrong anoth-
er out of penny. He will not steal
the time which belongs to his employer;
and he will not steal his employers
money.
The unfaithful clerk reasons: 81

are making large profits; 3 small share
belongs to me and I viii get il if
can"
He begins with some little thing; If
not money, then any trihe he can lay
his hands OIL without fear Of detection.
He tries to reconcile the theft to bis
conscience-if he has a Conscience
and thus makes larger thefts easier in
the future.
If he is an ingenious fellow lie prob
ably, before long, devises some regular
system of fraud, by which = little
stream of the great current of capital
can be diverted into his own private
channels. He takes every preeaution

experience; but In the end, as sure as
there is God above us, and divine
laws that enclose us like the sky, in the
end it Is ruin--outward ruin and dis
grace, In the majority of cases, and
inward, secret ruin In all.

A DOCTORS FATAL BLUNDER.

He administers Strycl.nine to Lady,
Who Esrpires I'm Ei1tee,. Minutes.
Houston Aug. 22) Special to La Crosse Chron-
The city of Rushford is greatly agitated
and saddened by a peculiarly distressing
tragedy that occurred there yesterday. Mrs.
Niles Carpenter, wife of the president of the
Rushford bank, who has been sick for long
time, but who had so far recovered as to be
about the house, died very suddenly last
evening, from the effects of dose of strych-
nine which had been given her by her physi-
clan, with the mistaken idea it was pre-
scrlption. DR.. Evarts has been attending
her, and last evening, finding that she was
out of medicine, Mr.. Carpenter went to the
doctor to procure fresh supply. The med
icine he had been giving her contained
strychnine, and closely resembled that deadly
drug; the bottle be had prepared was exactly
like another containing the poison, and the
two stood near together. The doctor gave
Mr.. Carpenter the poison instead of the pre-
scription and Mrs. Carpenter took her accus-
toned dose. She was instantly thrown into
agony and the doctor was summoned. I'm
mediately upon arriving at her bed side DIR.
Evarts threw up his hands and said 81 am
the man who did 1t. She is poisoned % DR..
Evarts and his wife are nearly crazed by the
terrible calamity.

POITER'S PUMP.

The Committee Hold Short Session Yes
terday and Develop Other Proof of Re-
publican Rascality in Louisiana--Ad-
tournament of the Committee Subject to
Call.
New YORK, Aug. 24.-The Potter committee
continued its investigation to-day. j. R. Alcee
Gouthreaux. of New Orleans, who had charge
of the registration bureau in 1874 testified that
his bureau ascertained that the number of
fraudulent registrations in New Orleans
amounted to 1900, and affdayits had been
made against 8, 400. The witness said many of
the republican supervisors of elections and reg
listers were non-residents, fugitives from ius-
tice, and in several cases were under indict-
ment. THE witness said he had conversation
with Judge Dibble, who made the remark that
he and Burke were foolish to work for the De-
mocracy, for if they had majority of 2O,0
they would be counted out by the returning
board.
Winners referred to the sewing machine cir
cular by which he said the Republicans made
their registration lists and said that when Mai.
Burke and himself protested to the returning
board against this fraud they were laughed at
He then gave the names of a large number of
those who manipulated the late election all of
whom held federal offices, including j. Madison
Wells and Thos. O. Anderson. Witness adj
mitted that he belonged to the organization
known as the White League. He had turned
out with them and borne arms. The object of
the league to protect themselves against
the Vaccinations of men who wanted TO en-
croach on their rights as citizens and take
their property from them. The organization
was still in existence and numbered from 700 to
1000 members.
Richard B. Edgeworth, captain of police,
New Orleans, and supervisor of elections,
handed in the following, among other let
ters:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN PARTY OF LOU
IsIANA, New ORLEANS, Sept. %, 1S78-S. B.
Edgeworth, supervisor of registration, Parish
to this committee from examination of the
census of 1875 that the Republican vote in your
parish is 5000, and the Republican majority
1920. You are expected to register and vote
the full strength of the Republican party in
your parish. Your recognition by the next
State administration will depend upon yourdo-
ingy full duty in the premises, and you will
not be held to have done your full duty unless
the Republican registration in your parish
reaches 5000, and the Republican vote is at
least 5000. All local candidates and commit
tees are directed to aid you to the utmost in
obtaining this result, and every facility will be
offered you, but you must obtain the results
called for herein without fail. Once obtained.
your recognition will be ample and generous.
Very respectfully

LABOR SAVING MACHINERY.

A Witness Before the Labor Commission
Who Relieves it Responsible for the Bus
mess Depression---Other Theories Ad-
vanced.
New YORK, Aug. 24-J. J. Hinchman, of
Brooklyn, gave his views to the labor Congress
sional committee to-day. He did not think
the depression of business was SO great as re-
ported, and he believed that the government
should not interfere by legislation.
f. III. Thurber a merchant of this city testi-
fed that he believed the primary cause Of the
ills which the laboring and other classes are
complaining of are the developments of steam
and electricity which, in connection with
labor-saving machinery, have within compar-
atively few years revolutionized production
and commerce, altered our manners and GUS
toms of life and now absorb the attention of
statesmen of the day in the adjustment of or
ganic law to meet the changed conditions of
the age in which we live. An overstocked mar
ket means q commercial crisis, with all its at
tendent phenomena of declining prices, idle
manufactures and distress among operatives.
The only remedy for this is to wait until con-
sumption catches up with production.
Some funther testimony of similar quality
was given, and the committee adjourned till
