The Duties OF Mntrlmony.

= wise old lady writes this: Better
than gold to a man is cheerful wife.
But lie must do his part toward making
her cheerful. 1t is easy enough for a
man to marry happy woman. But the
bride expectant, when she thought how
happy she would be, never contemplated
the picture of husband coming home
cross as bear and going to bed with
out speaking to her; she had never
thought of the long evenings when he
would not come at all, or his bringing
some one home to dinner without warn
ing or preparation; of his awful profan-
ity over so trihing a matter as the gas
bill. She had no idea, in fact, that there
could be anything but happiness in mar
ricd life, and she had determined to be
happy and to distribute her happiness to
those about her. 1t is often not her fault
if she does not succeed. Men, as
rule, do rot exert themselves
to secure their wives happiness. They
know that it requires a constant and q
great effort TO possess property, and
be secure in its value in the midst of
constant commercial changes. The
cheerfulness. the happy, hopeful charac-
ter which every woman displays at the
beginning of marriage is not so easily
lost as fortune; it requires but a small
share of the attention, and yet so often
does not get that little share. There
fore word to the girls in this connec-
tion is in order: beware of man who
doesn't know enough about cheerful
ness to understand its value in daily lie.
Such man would improve the first op-
portunity to grind cheerfulness out of his
home, 10 frighten a sunbeam into q
shadow, and then wonder what is the
matter. Such is no better than no hus-
band ut all; and when you want hus-
band 90 find somebody else-somebody
who will give you at least some chance
to be happy far into the life beyond the
honeymoon.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.


|
Short bridal dresses with court trains
are to be the style this winter they say.
Plaid velvet in one color and in Scotch
combinations will be used for trimming
winter dresses.
New white muslin neckties are OF the
soft creamy India null, with tiny polka
dots of blue, black, or red.
Small quilted mantles are announced by
a good authority as likely to supersede
long coats and large wraps.
Bonncts covering the ears and trimmed
all around with tufts of feathers are pre-
ferred to the wide-brimmed Rembrandt
hats.
Cancels hair, cashmere, and rough
cloth much like bunting. but somewhat
prepared for autumn.
New French thread stockings are ecru,
with pin dots of black, or else tiny stars.
| Another style has stripes of black run.
ming lengthwise of the stockings.
The killed founce basted inside the
skirts of long dresses is to be replaced
by u plain band of percale trimmed with
three rows of Swiss embrOiC cry.
New satines of dark garnet, sapphire,
or green grounds have polka dots in gay
Cashmere colors, several bright tints in
each dot. and scarcely any two dots
alike.
White satin brocade wrought with
threads of gold or of silver is new for
bridal dresses. There are also tinted
blue, cream or pink brocades with tinsel
threads.
Sealskin dolmans are to be worn next
winter. They have sleeve-like sides that
fold over the front, are bordered with
silver otter. and are lined with scarlet or
old gold satin.
The new listers are Of gray or drab
English waterproof, made double
breasted and with princesse back
not belted. The new feature is the
hood, which takes the shape of cap
with visor and very efectually protects
the head from rain or snow.
Rose-petal underskirts are to come in
fashion next, it is said. They are COM
posed of overlapping scallops of pink
fou.ard or pink flannel bound with silk.
These scal1ops are arranged in rows from
the lower edge to the waist, and the
skirts are very warm.
A dust-colored wideawake, very soft
and very furry, is one OF the hats shown
for the autumn. 1t is pinched in at the
sides and turned up over the forehead,
and large knot of red plush makes the
face trimming. 1t is said to be becom-
ing and to have an autocratic aspect.

JUST now there is warm personal quarrel
between the Enterprise and C'.ro,stcte. These
are the two leading papers of the State, but
the example they set is not one worthy of
imitation The personal characters Of editors
have nothing whatever to do with the conduct
of newspaper unless they happen to be men
of VIGOROUSLY bad repute on criminal record.
Ia such CONVENTIONS as the one now agltatlng
the Chrontsle and Enterprise, men indulge in
bitter personalities which they invariably live
to regret A newspaper which devotes itself
to the discussion of current events and reports
the news of the day, does all that the public
can reasonably expect for its money.

The following communication has been sent
to George DAILY:
HALL OF BoD1R MINERS UNION
October 9th, 1879
GEORGE DAILY, Esa.-Dear Sir: At regu-
lar meeting of the Union, held this 9th inst.
a communication from Bernard and Joseph
Mcdonald, asking permission for them and
others to return to Bodie, was read and unan-
imousY rejected.
}. Z. SHAUGRNBssY, President.
M CULLINAN, Recording Secretary.
Daily very properly replied that he consid-
cred such proposition a gratuitous insult,
and informed the Miners that he would 60 to
and from Bodie as he saw fit. 1t has been
urged that DAILY is breeder of contentious IN
mining camps and that the miners had a
right to eject him from, the place. This is all
humbug. Daily may be, and for aught We
know is, all that his enemies claim of him, but
no body of men have a right to dictate to him
where he shall or shall not live. Such an
outrage deserves to be rebuked by every Amer
lean citizen in the camp, and if the authori-
ties and the peacable citizens Of the town had
a spark Of manhood in their bodies, they
would not allow such high handed proceed
ings to disgrace town in which they lived.
The laws in this country amply sufficient
to punish offenders against it's peace, and if
DAILY committed any unlawful act, there was
law enough in Bodie to punish him without
the interference of a self established body OF
men known as the Miners Union. DAILY has
been known among the typographical frster-
nifty as "rat, and there is no doubt but
that he richly deserved the epithet. We have
no sympathy for men of Days stamp, but
until convicted of crime any man who treads
American soil has the right of legal protection,
and a. much right in Bodie as he would have
while standing under the dome of the Capitol
at Washington.

TIE explosion of the candy mandatory at
Kansas City, Mo, resulting in such fearful
loss of life, seems to have been of the same
class with the -four mill explosion which &C.
Cured in New York some time since. Scien-
fists are much puzzled to account for them or
to suggest remedy. The fine particles Of
-four and starch form matter apparently a.
combustible as the deadly Ere damp, and the
places of manufacture are as liable to explo-
sions as are powder mills It is to be hoped
that some wise man will soon be able to ex,
plain the actual cause and invent some pre-
vsntlve for these Wholesale slaughter houses
of women and children.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES. -Brigadier General
Crook, the head of the Department of the
Platte, has made his annual report. In speak
ing of the recent Indian outbreak and the
causes which led to it, he says: "The In
dians claim that they had left the Indian
Territory on account of chills and fever and
an insuficiency of food, and manifested a
determination to die rather than be sent
back, alth ough they said they would gladly
remain at peace with the whites if allowed to
live in . healthy locality, and treated with
honesty and justice; and am satisfied they
never would have surrendered had they not
thought that they would be permitted to re-
main north. They adhered SO firmly to their
statements, that it was Impossible not to
believe that there must have been some good
grounds for their leaving the Indian Terri
tory" The Indians have been Systematically
starved, swindled and robbed by the Indian
Agents. That they have retaliated by scalp
ing the settlers along the border, burning
their houses and stealing their stock, is not
to be wondered at. There is hardly an In
ulan outbreak on record LOT Inc past twenty
years which cannot be traced directly to the
doors of the thieving rascals sent out by the
Government as managers of the reservations.
With few exceptions they have been unfit for
any place outside of penitentiary. When
ever an Indian war begins, if the settlers
would go to the nearest agency and hang the
agent, the possibility of future trouble with
savages would be considerably lessened
Meeker, the last agent killed by the Indians,
was in all respects an honest gentlemen, and
formerly writer upon the New York Tri
bun.. He was unfortunate enough to suffer
for the sins of his predecessors.

1T has been the custom of the press of Ne

the hardihood to stay there. The differen ce
between the two places is this: Bodie is

DEAD NEWSPAPERS. The Bodie Free Pres,
remarks, 1--WE had rather be live little
Newspaper than big dead one" This is an
excellent motto for a newspaper to keep in
mind. Newspapers are like men, How Of
ten one notes the contrast between a little
live energetic man of hustle and business, and
an old, digni6ed, wise looking nonentity, who
strides along the street contented if he ia pom
derous enough to take the middle of the walk
while other people are crowded to the gutter
This is one of the old "has beens" of the
town, still anxious to be recognized as leader
when, as Bescher tellingly remarks, 1" He
should have been buried years ago. He is
dead but don't know it.. There are just such
old worn out newspapers in the country,
which attempt to make up in size what they
lack in sense. Big, blanket sheets, almost
large enough for circus tent, through whose
dreary columns one searches in vain for news,
ideas, or opinions, to find a perfect bowling
wilderness of ignorance and dullness. One is
astounded to see these affairs issue regularly
every day, yet they do. There resms to be
a certain musty prestige hanging over them
which keeps them alive. There is class of
people who venerate these moss covered Jour
nails and love the favor of mild decay which
is found in them. 1t seems a pity that in
telligent printers should wear their lives away
setting type for such monuments of the past,
or that such noble engine of advancement as
a printing press should be forced daily to give
birth to such miserable abortions.
