he would pay the field deputies out

to expose himself too much.
BY this time we are firing of
plain English, and for change we
get Fisher, candidate for Recorder,

party men to stultify themselves
by voting for him and the New

EDITOR HERALD: AS per an
nouucement in the NeW ConStitu-
ton yesterday morning the candi-
dates of the New Constitution par
ty turned up at Spadra. They
spent most of the after noon trying
to post themselves as to who were
tie New Constitution men of this

New Constitution candidates were
circulating through the crowd OF
seventy-hve or one hundred per-
sons trying to get q Chairman for
the meeting and were willing to
take even one of the three straight
Democrats of Spadra, as reported
to the NeaU Constitution. But alas!
After patient waiting M. III. Kim.

nounced that 10. Wright would act
as Chairman, and proceeded to put
the question without motion OF

in an election, as Jo. Wright is q
worthy man, even if he was wan
dered astray. Then came speeches
from the candidates, first of whom
was West, for Senator, who said he
would not detain us long, as there
were able speakers to follow. In
about half an hours talk he abused
the good old parties of our nation,
and especially of our State, but
more particularly of cur own deai

the only salvation for our county

If there is one thing that more
than another annoys a good wife,
who is nervously sensitive to all
that is gross and ill-timed, it is the
habit some husbands have of using
profane language in their homes.
In many cases this Is mere thought
lessness on the part of the good
man who never gives thought TO
the finer sensibilities of bis better
half, and even should she mildly
demonstrate, he pays no attention
to the rebuke.
We have just had a case in point,
which happened in one of the thriv-
Ing Missouri cities on the banks of
the Mississippi, which the ladies
of Georgetown should know some.
thing about.
A lady whose husband was ad-
dicted to the bad practice we have
alluded to, came to her family ply
sician, laid her grievances before
him and said:
"Now, Doctor N, won't you re-
monstrate with him, and try to
break him of this habit? know
he will listen to you"
"Why, Madam" said the Doctor,
che would pay no attention to any,
thing L conld say to him; but as
you have como to me, although
somewhat out of my line, 1 will
recommend q prescription, to be
administered by you, that will cer-
tainly cure him. 1t is an infalliblc
remedy"
''Oh, what is it Doctor?u
"Well, when John comes home
again and swears, do you swear
back at him. OF course L don't
want you to take the name of the
Lord in vain, but d--n things q
little for his benefit"
doctor, for the sake of the final
result, I'll do it ~
And she did.
The next day John came in and
inquired whether dinner was ready,
and was told it was not.
"Well, why the ID, isn't it ?n
said he.
BECAUSE" she coolly replied,
"the wood was SO d-n wet that the
fire wouldn't burn"
"Why, Mary, what is the matter
with you-are you crazy or have
you been drinking ?u
"Neither," she said, and quietly
proceeded to put on the dinner.
The beef didn't melt like butter
between the teeth-it rather resist
ed all efforts at mastication like so
much India rubber; and finally
John blurted out:
"What makes this d-n beef SO
Internal tough?u
Mary looked up archly and re-
piled: "Well, John, l suppose you
went down to the butchers and
without knowing the difference
picked out piece of some d-n old
stag that hadn't been fed for q
m oDth.n
John jumped up, looked at his
wife in dismay, and wanted to
know what such language from her
lips meant.
ut means just this, John; you
are the head of this family, and Just
so long as you think it manly to
swear in my presence L intend to
do the same. If you don't like to
hear it, you know how to prevent
it,"
The cure was radical, and to this
date Mary has never been com.
pelled to administer another dose
of DR.. N prescription.
