AN INTERVIEW WITH a WIFE
BEATER.
From the st. Louis Republican.

From the st. Louis Republican
A scene not of the goody- -goody order.
but one to rejoice the heart of a manly
man, took place recently in the counting
room of well-known business concern.
One of the workmen about the place was
a man of Boston, who came to the city
some time ago with his wife. After a
time he neglected her, and neglect was
followed by something worse, the poor
woman sometimes not seeing him for
DAYS together. and suffering when he did
come home from his brutality, absolute
bodily violence becoming feature of his
treatment of her. Finally, one day.
there was a sad scene The husband
came home in an especially ugly mood,
and concluded his inhumanity on the oc-
casion by beating the woman terribly.
Sick of body, as at heart, she wrote to
her brother in the East an account OF her
sufferings.
Soon there appeared in the counting
room of the establishment named, a
stranger of determined aspect, well-knlt
frame, q countenance that betokened
intelligence and health. A timid, trem-
bling woman accompanied him, and
slightly held back as he walked up to the
counter and inquired for the Bostonlan in
low, calm tones.
He isn't in just now, but l guess he'll
be here in about half an hour was the
reply. "Did you want to see him par
ticularly''
"Well, yes. To tell you the truth,
I've come / 400 miles to see him. Time
doesn't hang very heavy on my hands SO
I'll wait. He's a professional wife-beater,
and he married my sister, with ges-
ture toward the shrinking form by his
side.
The stranger waited short half hour
AZ the expiration of which tie Bostonian
appeared. he took in the situation at a
dance. and started quickly for the base
meat to 20 about his business, without
odeling to stop or notice the couple who
were awaiting him. The stranger inter.

out to his carriage. A stout Irishmar
stood holding the reins.
"God bless your honor" he said
They tell me you have saved missus

with Gods help, / nave done some
thing said the physician. well, 9TH
ers are as late as upon the road, Pat.
'"Yis, and-the Lord save us, whats
that"
For, as the man was about TO answer
a woman leaned from the little buggy
that flew past and uttered terrible cry
of "Help-save me! Help-save me y
ats rale throubble, or jest some des-
olute craythur making Disturbance !" said
Pat.
at is real terror" said the doctor
Come, Pat-into the wagon with me
and after them
"I'm not afraid" said Pat; "but doc
ther, dear, we might get into a tough
scrimmage.'
We'll, you'd like that, Pat" said the
doctor.
but they say your bride is waitin'
you doctkcr. dear" said Pat. And
tisn't a broken head or nose you'd like
to take to the weddin.'
The doctor gave one thought to Ruth {;
then, "For her sake all women, said he,
and they were flying after the other car
riage. The chase was not long; their
horse was fresh; the other weary
In fifteen minutes they were side by
side
"Nho cried for help" said the doc
/ tor
A struggling form in the carriage
stretched out its hand to him.
Harry, Harry" she cried.
at is Ruth" shouted the doctor and
then he had clutched the reins, and the
man in the other carriage arose to his
feet.
Let 90 your hold" he shouted. Il
am armed!
\ pistol flashed in the moonlight,
which shone still, though dimly.
"He will kill YOU, Harry cried Ruth.
Yes, by heaven yelled Ralph Bar
low, Il will
The Irishman, undaunted, had sprung
TO the horses heads
Il cant hold them much longer, yer
honor" he cried; they're mad-the
both of them
Then there was the sound Of apistol-
a blaze--the smoke OF gunpowder-and
Ruth tainted away.
When she recovered, DR.. Howard held
her in his arms, and the Irishman stood
near, rubbing his head and looking utter
ly bcwildered.
There was no sound of either of the
horses. On the firing of the pistol, both
had run away, but by this time DR..
Howard was on the ground, and had
clutched Ruth about the waist. They
were thrown to the earth, and the bullet
had grazed the doctors cheek, and cut
the ribbon Of Ruth hat IN two, but 9TH
erwise they were unhurt.
The Irishman had been knocked sense
less by a kick from one of the horses,
and what had become of Ralph Barlow
was not known.
\ few hours afterwards he was found
dead among the debris of his carriage,
his dead horse beside him at the foot Of
a precipice past which the road wound
halt a mile further on.
Poor Ruth conscience-stricken, and
shaken in every nerve, really felt as
though it would be wrong that she should
play the role of bride so soon but the
doctor stood firm and claimed her on the
proper day, and her wild ride through
the night, and the terrible scene that fol-
lowed il, seems almost a dream to her
now when she recalls it. Only no daugh-
ter Of Ruth Howards will ever hirt. If
she can help it.
Filtration, says Ruth, is nothing less
than crime.-N y. Ledger.

Saws the Washington Repubztean

Says the Washington Republican; "Af-
ter a struggle of eighteen gears In 2sGr and
politics, the COnfederGcy bGUe at last captured
the Capitol" And on this text the Oko-
Iona (Miss.) Southern Stdtas of the 18th
inst. comments as follows:
eyes; thank God we have captured
the Capitol, and in 1880 our man will
walk up the White House steps and take
his seat in the Presidential chair. Then
will our glorious triumph be complete.
Then will we proceed to tear your amend
ments from the Constitution and trample
them in the mire. Then we will break
the shackles you have forged for the free,
sovereign and Independent common
wealths of the Union. Then we will rec
is not dead, but sleeping. Then will we
decorate the Capitol with the pictures of
Davis, and Lee, and Stewart, and all the
glorious leaders of cause that is not
lost, but living still. Yes, thank God
we have captured the Capitol, and from
that cOign of vantage we propose to rule
the Republic in way that will make
your Radical laws and Radical leaders
forever odious to America
Other Southern Democratic journals
have given uttePance to similar senti-
ments, though more guardedly expressed,
and there is general eXultation on the
| part of the COnfederates over their sue
cess in capturing the legislative
branch and the hope it imparts of being
soon able to control every department of
the government. And, unfortunately
there is too much reason for rejoicing. II
| is most Ominous and startling fact that
of those who answered to the roll call in
the Senate last Tuesday there were only
.foasr men who fought for the preservation
of the government, while there were
nineteen who had borne arms in the ranks
of those who sought to destroy it. With
both houses of Congress dominated by ex-
rebel soldiers, and JEFF. Davis, the leader
of the rebellion, eulogized in the Senate
even by Northern Senators, it is not sur.
prising they should feel exultant and in
| dulge in the hope that the 'lost cause'' is
likely to triumph in the near future.

LOCAL OPTION.

COLUMBUS, March -22.-Mr. Sexto to-
day introduced Local Option Bill that
is quite the reverse of the one petitioned
for by fifty or sixty thousand citizens of
the State. Instead of authorizing the To-
cal communities to decide by popular vote
the question of suppressing in their sew
eral localities the traffic in intoxicating Q
liquors, Mr.. Sextro proposes to give au-
thority to the counties to regulate the
traffic by a system that lacks only the
name ola license system.
The bill provides for an election in any
county, upon application to the Probate
Judge signed by one hundred legal voters
of the county, and two weeks notice by
publication in the newspapers and by
handbills. The question to be voted on
is, ''FOr the regulation of the sale of in
toxicating liquors" /" "yes" or Fno." If
the majority vote yes sit shall be law full
to sell alcoholic, vinous and malt liquors
in said county subject to the regulations
prescribed in the bill. Places where such
traffic may be carried on are to be regis
tered with the County Auditor, divided
into four classes, and pay fees to the use
of townships or municipal corporations,
according to classification, from $40 to
5000 in cities, and One-half the amounts,
respectively, in villages. Selling after
compliance with this act is punished by
nne of from $25 to $50. Sales on credit, or
10 any minor, or to any persons of known
incorporate habits, are prohibited under
penalty of cancellation of the registPa-
tiOn of the seller.

The NOON Fee RlII.

The following is a synopsis of the Booth
bill regulating the fees of county officers.
The bill does not effect county officers
now in office:
The bill provides that all of the coun-
ties in the State, except Hamilton, shall
be divided into six classes, according to
population, as determined by the census
of 1870, and that at each succeeding CEN
sus, counties shall be advanced in grade
to correspond with their increase in pop
ulation.
The first class includes Cuyahoga only,
in which the fees and compensation of
the auditor, clerk, sheriff, probate judge,
treasurer and recorder are reduced thirty
per cent. below the fees now allowed by
law.
The second class embraces Franklin
and Montgomery counties, in which the
ices are reduced twenty-five per cent.
The third class embraces Lucas, Mus
kingum, Stark and Washington counties,
in which the fees are reduced twenty per
cent.
The fourth class embraces Belmont,
Columbiapa, Licking, Ross, Trumbull,
Wayne and Butler counties, where the
reduction is fifteen per cent.
The fifth class embraces Ashtabula,
Brown, Clarke, Clermont, Crawford,
Darke, Delaware, Erie, Fairfield, Gallia
Greene, Highland, Huron, Jefferson,
Knox, Lawrence, LOrain, MahOning,
Meigs, Miami, Monroe, Richland, San
dusky, SciotO, Seneca, Summit, Tusca-
rawas and Warren. In these counties
the reduction is ten per cent.
The sixth class embraces Adams, Allen,
Ashland, Athens, Auglaize, Carroll,
Champaign, Clinton, Coshocton, Def
ance, Fayette, Fulton, Geauga, Guernsy,
Hancock, Hardin, Harrison, Henry,
Hooking, Holmes, Jackson, Lake, Logan, !,
Madison, Marion, Mercer, Medina, Nor
gan, Morrow, Noble, Ottawa, Paulding,
Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Portage, Prebie,
Putnam, Shelby, Union, Van Vert, Vim
ton, Williams, Wood and Wyandot. In
this class of counties the reduction is five
per cent.
In 1880 many of these counties will be
advanced to higher grades under the pro-
visions of the bill, which takes effect on
all officers hereafter elected, and by that
time the number of counties in the fifth
and sixth classes will be greatly dimin-
ished, and consequently the reduction
Will become greater in the aggregate.
The bill reduces the aggregage on gross
fees and compensation. For instance. if
under the old law, the fees of a clerk
amounted to $4,000 per annnm, and the
clerk hire was So, 800, his net compensa-
tion was $4, 200. Under the operation OF
the new law, first the 50, 800 must be de-
Quoted, then the So, 800 clerk hire, leav-
Ing net compensation of $4,000 per an
mum.
The legitimate fees of the officers af.
fected by the bill under the law which is
amended were about 81 800, 900 per an
mum, including all the counties, both
large and small. The aggregate annual
saving will be about quarter of a mil
lion dollars.

AT meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Ohio State Agricultural Society
at Columbus on the 10Th, the time of hold
the State Fair was changed from the sec
Ond week in September to the last week
in Augustine 25th to the 29th inclusive.
1t is thought to be time when inclement
weather is not so probable, and it will
avoid conflicting W tn the Tri-State Fair
at Toledo and the Exposition at Cincin-
natl. It will also put the State Fair first
in the round of exhibitions and no doubt
be gOood thing for Columbus.

A convincing proof of the eminence this
country has attained in manufacturing is
had in the fact that the tariffs of Germany
and Canada are avowedly to protect their
markets from our competition. It is a
compliment to our genius and energy
worthy of the hard task by which it was
earned.-PittsbuTg TeIegrGph,
