The Safe Policy.

Considerable discussion has arisen
over the relative merits of tho plans
OF campaign Of 1876, whether tho
sua0ite' a,s anoao of Hampton or
the Jortster S'e re of Gary was the
more effioaoious in securing tho
redemption Of South Carolina. An
impartial survey Of tho field shows
that neithor would havo boon sue

liant onset of tho "red-hot" Demo-
Gratis that wrested victory from the
enemy, yet tho ground could not
have been held m instant but for
the pacific and conservative man.

But now that tho citadel is taken

ciliation backed by determination
and by a show of power. While tho
former Radicals must understand
that the Democrats moan to carry

wrong to bemean and vilify tho
masses of tho colorcd people and to
tell them that we do not desire their

to come with us, enough to give us

A BRUTAL HUSBAND.
Beats His Wife Almost to Death and
Pulls Out Half Her HaIr---He Is
m Sent to iail.

Last night George Riordan was arrested
on the charge Of beating his wife, and this
morning the case was investigated by Re
corder Quigley, who required the accused
to give bail in the sun of $1,000. Accord
ing to the evidence Of Mrs. Riordan. her
husband came home drunk yesterday
aud gave her the money which
he had earned during the past
week. During the day a poor
and aged man went to Mrs. Riordan's
house and asked her TO let him have box
which was in the yard. as Mrs. Riordan
had no use for the box, she told the old
man to come and get it in the afternoon,
as he returned home. Accordingly the
old man came in the afternoon, and went
in to warm himself. While the old man
was sitting by the fire George Riordan'
who was under the influence Of liquor,
came home and at once began to abuse his
wife. Selling her by the hair and the old
man by the collar, he bumped their
heads together several times. AS soon as
the old mar could release himself from
Riordan's grasp he fastened from the
house. Riordon then beat his wife in an
unmerciful manner, and seemed deter
mined to put an end to her life. He
dragged her by the hair from the house
out into the yard, and was ~endeavoring to
put her in a hole of water. The screams
Of the unfortunate woman attracted the
attention Of several persons who
reached the place in time to save
her from further injury, for Mrs.
Riordan had already tainted and was in
an unconscious state. She is severely
bruised in the face, and it is believed has
received internal injuries likely to bedan-
gerous. The brutal husband pulled half
the hair out of her head, literally tearing
up handsful by the very roots. The tufts
of hair, enough to fill a water bucket, as
Recorder Quigley remarked, were exhib-
tied in court this morning. II have had
many cases of wife-whipping before
me, but none ever equaled this
one, which is simply horrible" said the
Recorder, Riordan, being unable to give
bond, was sent to Jail. His wife, who can
scarcely talk because Of her injuries, went
before the grand jury this morning to
make a statement of the facts in the case
She says that her husband is good natured
enough when sober, but that liquor in.
danes him to an uncomfortable degree
and causes him to beat her.

New scheme.

Several young men in this city for the
past six months have been engaged in per-
fecting a scheme by which to furnish the
people with a cheap means Of smoking,
somewhat after the manner in which gas
is supplied. They have concluded to es-
tablish a great tobacco furnace, the smoke
from which will be confined in n huge
tank, fitted with cocks and mains. The
mains will be laid along the principal
streets, with connections through build
ings, residences, hotels, saloons, etc, when
ever desired. BY this arrangement the
man or boy who smokes can /" turn on the
smoke" adjust his flexible stem and enjoy
himself ad libitum. The privileges
will be sold either by the year OIL
else charges viii be mado monthly
for the amount consumed. Their,
will Of COURSE be in every room con,
nected with pipes" a fumometer, likc
unto a gasmeter, to tell how much smoke
is used. This will enable a good husband
or noble son to regulate his habits Of smok
ing, and be content with several Thousand
feet per month. For the convenience o
politicians, idlers and others, smoking
posts will be located at nearly every stree
corner. The person who would avail
himself Of this convenience will have t
rent q box, or else a key by which he car
turn on s column OF smoke, and Whit i
by means Of a nice stem, which can b,
carried about in the pocket. This can b
attached or detached in a few seconds b.
means Of the key to the box or post. Il
conclusion we will say that the smok
manufactured will be highly perfumed
The young men are anxious TO secur
stock in their great enterprise, the par
t~iculArs Of which can be had upon appli
cation to Colonel james Speed or Profcs

FROM HUMBOLDT
Comes a Strange Story Of Domestic In
feIlcity---A Painful Surprise to
the Community.

The people ofHumboldt for two or three
weeks have been somewhat exercised by
the divorce proceedings instituted by Mrs.
Gale Tinsley against her husband, Nj.
G. P. Tinsley. The suit derives additional
interest because of the surprise it created
and the alleged circumstances attending
its origin. Mr.. Tinsley is a well-known
and respected citizen of Humboldt, where
he has resided for years, being travelling
salesman for houses in Louisville or St.
Louis. Aboutsix years ago he was married
to Miss Gale Maxwell, the accomplished
daughter of DR.. William Maxwell, past
master Of the Tennessee State Grange, and
by their union one child was born. So far
as the outside world knew or believed Mr..
Tinsley and his wife lived together happi-
ly. But it seems that the union was not
harmonious, if we may judge by what
followed. As we hear it, Mrs. Maxwell,
while on her dying bed, some three weeks
ago, asked as a final request that Mr.. Tins
ley separate from his wife, and permit her
to be free. Mr.. Iinsley, though by
no means anxious for a separation,
promised the dying mother that he would
grant this last request. Accordingly, about
a week afterwards, Mrs. Tinsley filed a bill
of divorce in court, praying such relief as
is usual in proceedings Of this character,
alleging as grounds habitual intoxication
and failure to support on the part Of her
husband. Mr.. Tinsley, who, in the mean
time, had offered no opposition to the
wishes of his wife, and had not separated
from her, has concluded to file an answer
to this petition, because of the injustice it
is calculated to do his character.
AT the time of his marriage he was earn
ing a salary of several thousand dollars a
year, but for the past eighteen months he
has been out of business. Mr.. Tinsley's
answer to his wife's petition will deny the
allegations as to his character, and also
seek to place him in possession of their
child. The high social status of the
parties, and the unexpected development
Of the circumstance leading to the divorce
proceedings, naturally enough excite 9
great degree of interest among the people
Of Humboldt.
