nese OF the captain was realized at last.
They went to live at her fathers on Sa-
lem street, but subsequently, removed
to Rowe street. Somerville. The lady
was thenthe mother of two grown young
people, a son and daughter. The cap
tain had abandoned the sea at his wife's
urgent request, and was without an oc-
cupation, except that which the man.
agement of some property in Colorado
supplied him with. Finally the doctor
died, and left large sum of money to
his daughter. The captains family
circle was for some time after this
happy one, but the want of a settled oc-
cupation at last produced its invariable
effects upon him, and shadows began to
creep across the threshold of his COM
Portable home. The time came when
dreadful evil had to be acknowledged
as forming part of their married life,
and incompatibiiity of temper COMPEL
ed separation. The captain went to
Colorado, and spent some weeks trying
to drown his unhappiness in the cares
of property, but he failed, and dissipa-
ton laid his hands upon him. He
shook off the temptation, however, after
yielding it for brief while, and, return
ing to the East, managed, after three
months had passed, to effect recon
Cancellation with his wife. But the old
evil again visited the house
hold, and after long and inef-
fectual struggles to destroy its
influence. Mrs. Power suddenly left
her husband and took up her residence
with her daughter, in Newton. Cap
tair Power at once fell into the deepest
melancholy, condition in which he
remained intermittently up to the
period of his death. He met his wife
on the street some months ago, and en-
deavored to obtain an interview with
her; but her son, who accompanied his
mother, possibly dreading a scene, tried
equally hard to prevent the interview.
A policeman, who happened to be
standing by, urged by his notion of duty,
felt called upon to protect the lady, and
compelled the desperate captain to give
up his purpose. The effect Of this I'M
successful attempt at reconciliation
produced such an impression on the
captains mind that his friends consid-
cred him insane, and had him removed
to the asylum at Taunton. He did not
remain here long before the fact of his
sanity was established, and two or
three weeks ago he was released. From
that time until he shot himself Friday
on the steps of his wife's house, and his
former home in Somerville, his COM
paratively cheerful spirits induced his
friends to believe that the weight
of his trouble was lightened. He usad
to say that, if he could only secure
hearing with his wife, basis of recon-
would be established, but he
believed that the last opportunity for
anything of this kind had gone by when
he committed the fatal act. This
was the ending of a romance which be-
gan in the old Salem Street Orthodox
and the incidental actors in the
various stages of the melancholy drama
are probably many of them still among
us.

A Story of the Afgllans.

Many singular stories are told of the
Afghans but none more strange than
the following, which a recent trav-
eler reports: A certain family became
a band of robbers, and for long time
carried on depredations against the
property Of their neighbors without
suspicion. One night, however, they
broke hole in the side of house and
one of their number crawling in, was
engaged III handing out whatever valu-
ables he could lay hands upon, when
the inhabitants awoke and seized the
burglar by the legs as he was trying to
escape through the aperture. Seeing
no chance of escape, he called out to
his friends outside to cut off his head
so that he might not be recognized and
his family disgraced. This was accord
ingly done, and the survivors fled with
the head and left all their plumber on
the ground.

FINDING FAULT.

It is the easiest thing in the
world to find fault. II is easy to
saythat nobody is honest. 1t is easy
to say that the church is to blame
for it. 1t is easy to say that the
church would be all right if the
minister would preach and do as
he ought. But it isn't easy to look
on the best side, to sec that there
are hundreds Of faithful preachers,
thousands OF honest men and wo-
men, countless acts Of justice, char
acter and humanity which outweigh
all the grumb'ing of all the grumb-
:ers, so that it is really the finest
dust in the balance. Let US be
fair and cheerful. The world IS
not all wrong. Everybody isn't a
rascal. Our neighbors are not try
ing to cheat US. The church is
doing a good work for the world,
and even the GROWERS are not halt
as disagreeabIe as they seem.

The various industries of this
country increase so rapidly that
their magnitude escapes the gen.
eral observation. 1t is bnt few
years since the importation of hides
and leather into the United States
exceeded the production, and for
eign prices ruled The market. Now
the entire business is reversed, and
American hides are shipped to al
most every European market. II
is estimat ted that seven million five
hundred thousand cattle are annu
ally slaughtered in the United
States. The amount of manufac-
tured leather almost exceeds belief.
In Massachusetts alone eighty-nine
million pairs of boots and shoes are
annually manufactured, besides
large amount of machinery for
making boots ana shoes. Owing
to the great Improvement in mach
inery it results that since the doub"
ling of the yearly products the
number of employees male and
female has decreased over forty
per cent. The decrease of female
employees is much less than males
as much of the machinery can be
worked by the former Cincinnati

A Good Suggestion.

The editor of the San Diego Union
has been ranging his editorial eye
over this district, with view Of
selecting a man who Is eminently
fitted to represent this people as
delegate to the approaching Con.
stitutional Convention. In so do.
Ing we think he has shown u dis
cernment that well attests his
sound judgment. He names Col.
James j. Ayers, editor of the Los
Angeles Evening Express. The
Union says:
eve have seen several names
mentioned in connection with the
representation from this District
In the Constitutional Convention.
But there are very few of them
that are capable OF filling the bill.
Ii we might be permitted to sug-
gest a single nomination, we
should name Col. ]. j. Ayers, edi-
tor of the Express, as an eminently
lit man to sit in the Constitutional
Convention from this District.
A pioneer citizen of California;
journalist of first rate ability and
long experience; man of fine ed
ucation and sound judgment; he
has watched the growth of the
State from It's infancy; has person.
ally performed no small part in
building up the commemorative;
and is familiar with the wants and
needs of the people. We believe
that the press of California ought
to be represented in the Conven.
ton, and we know no member of
1t better fitted to aid in making u
new constitution than Col. Ayers.n
If the people at large knew Col.
Ayers as we and many others know
him. and If the general cIamor for
the best men is made in sincerity,
we think there would be no doubt
about his election. But if available.
ity Tin the partisan sense) is to be
the test, the Union has probably
made mistake. Col. Ayers is
u man OF honest purpose, sound
Judgment and clear convictions.
tall times deliberate and fair in
his investigations, his conclusions
at once become the unfailing
guides for his future course in deal,
Ing with all questions that claim
his attention. In the main, his
efforts in behalf of his adopted
State have resulted in good. Aud
his labors, it should be remem bered,
have taken very wide range.
Few men in the State have done
more than he to form what we con-
ceive to be a sound, healthy public
sentiment. If this is the kind of
man the people Of California desire
to help frame the organic law of
the land, we are satisfied that Col.
Ayers ought to be elected by a
handsome majority.-.Sonta Mont
