Mexican Affairs.

There are now about ten thousand troops IL
the several Mexican States on the Rio Grande
border, scrt thither by the Federal government
to secure peace and tranquility 10 that part Of
the country, as we'll as operate against the Lipan
and other Indians, who, crossing the river, com.
nit depredatous on the Texan border aud then
return to Mexico. The Mexican Governmen!
is acting 10 good faith in it's efforts to maintain
the integrity of the border. Not long ago, when
cattle, mules and other American property were
retaken from the Lipaus, the Mexican authosi-
ties sent word through our Consul at Masamo
ras to the owners of such property to come
over and reclaim it.
Although Mexico is still disposed to enter
into q convention with tho Uoted States tor
the Joint military protection of the Rio Gr0nde
border, she hesitates to do so while the Execu.
tive order to our troops, giving authority to
pursue raiders into Mexico with view to their
punishment and the restoration Of stolen prop.
erty, remains 10 force. This order alone stands
in the way of a Joint military cooperation.
The third instalment of the award made by
the late claims commission to pay American
claimants Tor damages, &c., will BIO promptly
paid when due in January next. The largest
part of the money, the inStalment being
$500 600. is already in New York.

1t turns out that tho recent capture OF the

A private letter from an intimate and dear
friend of Ex.President Davis, written at Beau
vor, informs US that for some months past Mrs
Davis has been seriously i'll and Mr.. Davis has
himself been fesrfully prostrated by anxiety and
caro- for his bslovedand devoted wife. To add to
their diatress, while Mrs. Davis was convsle: cling
the news came that their son, Jefferson Davis IT,,
had fallen i'll with the fever in Memphis. In
their feeble condition tho President and Mrs.
Davis made hasty preparation to fly TO the
bedside of their only remaining son. 1t was eVl-
dent, however, to their friends that it would be
impossible for them to. make the mourntul Voy-
sge, and by the earnest and prsyerful entrestes
Of Mrs. Dorsey and Major Walthall, they were
restrained from venture that would have Deen
fstsl to both. Major Whalthall, who has long
been as ono ofthe family, insisted on gong to
Memphis himself and arrived there in time to
convey to the dying youth the words OF love
and tenderness he bore from the stfi cted parents

FOR HUSBANDS.

Don't think when you have won a
wife that you have won also slave.
Don't think that your wife has less
feeling than your sweetheart. Her re-
lationship to you is simply changed, not
her nature.
Don't think you can dispense with all
the little civilities of life toward her on
marrying. She appreciates those things
quite as other women.
Don't be gruff and rude at home. Had
you been that sort of fellow before
marriage, the probabilities are that you
would be sewing on your buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that she is
an incumbrance on you by giving grudg-
ingly. What she needs give cheerfully
as if it were pleasure to do so. She
will feel better, and SO will you.
Don't meddle in the affairs of the
house under her charge. You have no
more right to be poking your nose into
the kitchen than she has to walk into
your place of business and give direc-
tions to your employees.
Don't find fault with her extravaganza
in ribbons, ETC., until you have shut
down on cigars, tobacco, whisky, etc.
Don't leave your wife at home to
nurse the children, on the score of econ
omy, while you bolt down town at night
to see the show or spend dollar on bill
liards.
Don't bolt your supper and hurry off
to spend your evenings lounging around
away from your wife. Before marriage
you couldn't spend your evenings enough
with her.
Don't prowl in the loa6ng resorts till
midnight, wasting your time in culpable
idleness, leaving your wife lonely at
home to brood over your neglect and her
disappointment. eaFss
Don't think the woman you promised
to '.love, cherish and protect" becomes
your servant as her part of the contract.
Don't think that board and clothes is
sufficient return for all that a wife
does for you.
Don't expect your wife to love and
honor you if you prove brute, unwor-
thy of love or honor.
Don't caress your wife in public, and
snarl and growl at her in private. This
proves you both hypocrite and dog.
Don't wonder that your wife is not as
cheerful as she used to be, when she Ia
bors from early morn till late at night
to pander to the comfort and caprice of
selfish being, who has not soul enough
to appreciate her.
