In speaking of the execution of
the Indian murderers to take place
at Pendieton next month the Pendle-
ton L.lepenleat says: The Indians
are restless, and we apprehend trou-
bic. Be prepared for any emergency,
Is our advice. We are informed that
there are some 200 armed warriors on
the Columbia river above Wsllula-
this means something. They are
said to be preparing an unusually
large supply of grub, killing cattle
and jerking and drying the meat as
il they were preparing for winters
campaign. The government should
at once send some troops into this
section, and the militia should be or
sanizcd in readiness until the danger
Is past.

The Jewish advance., 1878-06-21
MRS. SHODDY
VS..
MRS. CHAPKOVSKY.

On Monday after breakfast Mrs. n
sat in her dining-room with an air of
dissatisfaction. 1t was evident that she
had some domestic trouble about which
she did not desire to worry her husband.
AS soon as Mr.. n had taken his break
fast and gone off to his business, and
the servant-girl came in to clear the
table, Mrs n. began:
Why have you been out so late last
evening, Emily You have left the house
after dinner, and did not return until
eleven o'clock at night. I had to prepare
supper myself and to serve the guests
who called on us, and whom you knew
well we had been expecting"
" 1t was my holiday, madam" rejoin-
ed Emily, ''and [ think [ have right to
dispose of my time just as please"
.'.How many holidays do you take in a
month, Emily? You have not been
here six weeks, and you have already
taken about ten holidays"
20, Madam, if you consider holiday
every time go out, I do not know what to
answer you. Once I went out to the
bank, and you gave me permission to do
so another time [ went to see a sick
friend, also with your acquiescence; a
third time [ went to buy me dress, also
with your knowledge a fourth time
''Stop, Emily, for goodness sake" in
terrupted Mrs. N. II know that you
always did go out with some pretext, and
hsented youself longer than was neces-
sary. That wont do. If you desire to
remain in my house longer than you
have ever remained in your previous
engagements, this kind of arrangement
must have an end"
"P'etent " indeed !" quoth Emily,
with emphasis; Il do not think human
being need have a pretext to go out

ler), and can not be chained to one spot
like brute. Longer than haze re-

CHICAGO, JUNE 81, 1878.

For few months after Mrs. Shoddy's
marriage her husbands affairs went on
in the regular routine She had arranged
for her household neat little residence,
consisting of three rooms, in tenement
house, and bought for herself a gold
watch and chain, bracelets, and other
such appendages Of the heaviest and
most telling style. She has also taken
good care to teach her husband how to
behave in good society, and how to make
an appearance. She has taken great
pains to persuade him that he was moth
ing better than Pozak, although fortune
had made him the husband of such a
worthy lady as herself, and that conse-
quently he must give the rule and
management Of all their affairs, even of
himself, into her hands. He was per-
suaded by her eloquence, which she
poured on him in pure German accents,
and yielded to her superior judgment.
One Sunday afternoon, when Mrs.
Shoddy and her husband were walking
in the park, robed in their best, and
making very stylish appearance, the
worthy lady began
Il say, Jacob, would it not be nice if
g#7e could rent a private residence for
ourselves, or at least floor in respect
able house up town ?"
Why, Emily" Shoddy answered, Il
think our quarters are very nice, and
just such as we can afford to keep. 1t
would not suit me to live up town, while
[ have to be down town the whole day.
[ could never be home to dinner"
Dinner, fddlesticks !" rejoined Emily
do you think that all those wholesale
merchants go home to dinner ?-I know
they do not. They leave their homes in
the morning, and do not return till
night And our lodgings are not nice
at all; there are so many Poloh;im in
the neighborhood, and the streets do not
look respectable. Iwish we could change
quarters"
But how can we do it ? We can not
afford to pay more rent
'You ought to obtain better situa-
tion, Jacob, or your employers should
raise your salary You are working
hard enough for them. [ must see about
it myself, for you do not know how to
help yourself.'
Herewith the subject was dropped,
and Jacob thought of it no more.
Two weeks later, when Jacob came
home on Saturday evening, Mrs. Shoddy
informed him that she had made arrange
ments for him to work for McVoter 4
Co., who will give him better chance
than he has had at his present situation.
He did not relish the idea Of his wife
having made arrangements for him with
out his knowledge. He did not like to
quit his employers without giving them
due notice, for they had treated him
kindly while he had been with them.
But all remonstrance was OF no avail.
Mrs. Shoddy gave him to understand, in
pure German accent, that since he had
The Jewish advance., 1878-06-21

manned IN my prevaous engagements,
indeed Did [ not stay with Mrs A
for a long time, and was she not sorry
when I left her? Did [ not remain al
the Q.'s three months, and would they
not be glad to have me back? [ will
not be treated like brute, but will &C
out when I need, and if people do not
like it, let them make the best of it.
Here Mrs N. became a little excited
and made use Of some strong expressions
which elected the following remarks
from her cook
II will not allow myself to be insulted
Mrs. n I am respectable young lady
the afianced bride Of Mr.. Jacob Shoddy
IF Mr.. Shoddy were to hear you use
such expressions against me, I do not
know what he might do"
Are you engaged to that young fell
low who was here to see you?" asked
Mrs. n, laughing Loudly. "Why, you are
his senior by at least eight years ?''
II will leave your house to-day, Mrs.
n !" quoth Emily.
MAY you go and be happy, Miss
Schnatterzunge, rejoined Mrs n.
The result of this little scene was that
Jacob Shoddy was married few weeks
sooner than he had expected.
/ believe I have now given Mr.. and
Mrs. Shoddy fair introduction, and may
commence with the main object of my
narrative.
From the preceding accounts the
reader will perceive that, if the philo-
sophical maxim be true, that Every
man is born in the world to play the part
of either hammer or anvil" my Mr..
Shoddy was destined for the latter role.
Under the care of an affectionate, unso-
phisticated mother he was hammered
out an industrious and obedient fellow.
His experience on his travels have ham
mered into his mind federation of phases
of life which he had not known before,
so that when he arrived in New York he
even learned to dance with his head sus-
pended in the air" and suffered his
Teplizin to drop and be lost in that
element; and McAnything, O'Some-
thing Il Co., have hammered out of him
a good auctioneer at their Cheap John"
establishment in Chatham Street. Thus
far he has Jared none the worse for his
yielding disposition. A person more
''hammeringly" inclined might have
grumbled against many chance which
the simple Jacob bore with good grace,
and might in consequence have Jared
much worse than he did. But now, as
the husband Of the nee Miss Amalia
Schnatterzunge, we are going to narrate
what this worthy and dignifed lady,
with the pure German accent, has ''ham-
mered" out of him, and why she contends
so noisily for the title of IAN ideal OF
a Jewish lady" Mrs. Shoddy and he1
influence over her husband, and how she
uses that influence, are worthy to be
known, or [ would not take all the
trouble of writing this story.
The Jewish advance., 1878-06-21

the honor of being her husband she
must have the power to dispose of him
as she pleases. To McVoter 4 Co.'S he
must go, or he would be sorry if he did
not.
Accordingly, Jacob went to McVoter's
the next Monday. He felt sorry, he felt
sheepish, he felt ashamed to meet his
old employers and he felt all the worse
for not being able to exonerate himself
by stating the true reason of his sudden
change. Once during the week Mr..
McAnything met him in the street.
Jacob endeavored to avoid his former
employer, but the latter went up to
him, greeting him very cordially:
II am really sorry" Jacob stammered.
"Never mind that, Jack" interrupted
McAnything; "You need not excuse
yourself, for you have done nothing
wrong. [ know the reason why you have
left me, and the blame is not yours. | am
only sorry for you, my boy. Your wife
will, perhaps, make you rich man, but
she is sure to make a miserable man of
YOU Take my advice, and try to take
care of yourself Send in your bill as
soon as you please, and let us remain
| Eriends, although no longer in BUSINESS
connections. [ have no grudge against
you .
The keen, free hearted Hibernian had
discovered the reason of Jacobs change,
and liked the honest fellow too we'll, to let
him fret about his apparently ungrateful
behavior. Jacob, on the other hand,
was sorry that he had not the courage
to reprimand his friend for the remarks
he had made about his worthy helpmate.
He felt, however, in his heart that Nc
Anything was right and that his warn
ing was ominous. So he left him with
a sullen air.
When the week was around, and Jacob
found that his earnings were nearly
twice as much as they had been before,
he was little comforted. And when
Mrs. Shoddy, receiving the money from
his hands, made few agreeable remarks
in the pure German accent all his
trouble was forgotten.
"Now, Jacob, you see that | under
stand better how to manage our affairs
quoth the good lady with a gracious
smile. "The best you can do is to follow
my instructions, and you will see how
we will get on
Jacob followed the Instructions of his
wife. All the money he earned he gave
to her, and received at her hands in
return as much as she thought proper
to allow him for private expenditure.
Mrs. Shoddy managed her affairs with
great credit. She rented new quarters
up town, and fixed up snug little
household. She bought piece of real
estate to pay off at the rate of ten
dollars per month, and laid aside every
cent she could spare. 1t is true, Jacob
felt little strange in his new quarters.
There were no old acquaintances in the
neighborhood with whom to have social

THIRD DISTRICT
Democratic Mass Meeting and Barbe
cue at MGhee's sprfng--Mr. kort-
recht Denies Being n Radical
but Asserts that he is
Republican.

About five hundred citizens of the third
district including a good many ladies and
tiZens of Memphis, were In attendance
yesterday, at M'Ghee's springs, to listen to
speeches upon the present canvass In Shelby
county Addresses were made by Colonel
Iinlay, Charles Kortrecht, Captain U. w.
Miller, Jno. Strehl, Colonel w w. Nj Dow
ell, Mr.. Ed WCrsham, Esquire X. b. Miller,
General Geo. w. Gordon.
At twelve o'clock Colonel lila Douglass
mounted the stand and introduced Colonel
Luke Finlay, who made strong appeal to
the people to vote straight ticket, as they
value their interest and prosperity. Colonel
FInlay was loudly applauded at the end OF
his speech.
Mr.. Kortrecht followed, and, in substance,
stated that Mr.. Kenneday. colored, and Judge
Bigelow, candidates for county court clerk
and criminal judge on the Republican ticket,
would withdraw before election day. leaving
only twostickets in the field. Mr.. Kortrecht
also stated that he would advise those who
wanted to scratch to do so, it was the time
to scratch, and said 81 have done a great
appeal in favor of the National ticket
Dinner being announced, every one re-
paired to the table, and nothing was thought
OF but to administer to the wants of the inner
man.
Immediately after dinner Captain U. w.
Miller was introduced and made a telling
speech which was frequently appfauded. He
completely exposed the modes in which the
different tickets were nominated, and he ap-
pealed to the people, as the judges of right
aud wrong, to say which was the honest
ticket He closed amid cheers and cries of
Ego on"
Mr. John Strehl spoke few words, stating
his position.
Colonel w. w. Mcdowell followed Mr.
Strehl in speech in support of the Demo
cratic ticket, and showed up Mr.. Charles
Kortrecht as chronic office seeker. He fin
lshed by plimenting the people on the
large meeting, which threw shot and shell
into the National camp of three who reside
In the districts.
Mr.. Ed Worsham, in a very happy speech,
appealed to the ladies to use their influence
in behalf of the Democratic ticket.
Esquire R. B. Miller followed on behalf of
the Democratic ticket. He said that the
Workingman's party died when 1t was adopt
ed by the Radical party. He stated that no
child can be adopted by an unnatural mother
without something is given as consideration,
which gives color of dishonesty.
His time being up, General Gordon fol-
plauded. Several converts were made by his
happy remarks in defense of his party This
closed the meeting. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the day. A good laugh
was had as an old darky remarked, while
going to the tram: Didn't that Democratic
chap chop old man Not Right up (meaning
Colonel Kortrecht).
Colonel Kortrecht, during the course of his
remarks, denied being Radical, but claimed
to be Republican, distinction without
difference.
