MAERYING HIS FATHERS WIFE - The
special dispatch to the EceaiRg Ne,rs yester-
day, announcing the elopement of Ken
lucky gentleman with his step-mother, and
their marriage at New Albany, has proved
substantially true. Mr.. Thomas II. Ellis,
the junior proprietor OF the Ellis House,
Bar,istown, Ky, and Mrs. Mollie Z. Ellis
are the drdlRGtis PerSon@ OF this little sensa-
ton. Whether the elder Ellis Is alive or not
We cannot presume to say, and If he is, We
would Just Ike to know his opinion of wo-
men in general and sons in particular. The
parties seem apparently well-to-do people
and the unnatural son lavished considerable
money on his wife, who, no doubt, liked him
better as dear hubby than cold heart
ed step-son. When Ners reporter called
on the elopists at the Central Hotel, New
Albany yesterday, they were coolly eating
their dinner in a manner of perfect indiffer-
ance; and on stating our mission We were
received with kind of caustic cordiality,
Mr.. Ellis remarking that ne was kind of
printer himself, and didn't want anything in
the paper about his running off; and, furth-
ermore, if We did print it he would make
cold meat of Us. To show him how badly
scared We were, We went directly to the tel
egraph office and sent that dispatch Father
Kline, OF the German Catholic Church, New
Albany, performed the ceremony making
! them man and wife, after which they crossed
| the river to return home as much mixed re-

WoNAS NATURE. Those who would
elevate the standard of womanhood should
begin by learning that it is only through
love and kindness that woman can ever at
tain her largest growth toward the purest
idea in which the womanly graees center
They should learn that snubbing and slight
ing and envying are not what call out the
good in woman She may have patience and
long suffering, which will shine forth all the
brighter for time, but she never can be
herself, never can feel herself, except in the
atmosphere of refined thoughtfulness and
true lover Harsh criticism and selishness
and forgetfulness of her feelings will all
work together to sadden and harden her
nature, and sicken her of life. She does not
wish or need to rule, but what she wishes
and needs is consideration of her feelings,
Difference and remembrance, and not to be
passed over and ignored as one not belong
ing to existence, or have her very existence
subject of insult to all that is noblest and
purest in her nature. She does not care to
be plaything but she does care for afEec-
tionate regard and the manifested respect of
ali good people She needs to be drawn out
and not forced or pushed hither and tither
either by friends or foes or circumstances.
