BEGINNING Married Life.

New Orleans Time,.l
A certain young friend of mine not
very long ago married a wife. He was
not any too well-to-do in this worlds
goods, and we all fell to wondering
how, on his modest salary Of fifteen
dollars a week, he intended to support
her. The first few months after mar
riage pave the way to the whole future
OF the young people, and mistakes in
the beginning are the hardest of all to
rectify, because they are allowed to
grow and grow until they become
deep-rooted, obstinate habits. One of
the mistakes of young married folks is
going to boarding. Domestic unhap
piness is almost certain to result from
this going to boarding" | shudder
when | hear a happy young bride say,
."Oh, we are. going to board, or we are
going home to live with ma" One is
almost as bad as the other.
Another rock upon which so many
young married people wreck their
happiness is the easily solved money
question. One earnest, downright
business talk between a husband and
his young wife will dispose Of this
question satisfactorily, for years to
come, and yet young wives fight shy Of
it, so do their husbands, and wives
will resort to all sorts Of little expe-
dents before they will ask for money
with which to 60 to market. The
husband generally is as forgetful or
careless Of settlingthe question, as the
wife is bashful of broachingi it. Know
ing how many difficulties arise from 8
lack Of judgement in arranging the
financial part of household economy
and domestic felicity, | felt like l had
discovered O gold mine to be turned
to the account Of certain soon to be
married friends of mine, when |
learned the admirable disposition
which this young Benedict of
whom | spoke, had made OF
his weekly stipend. In the
first place, on every Saturday night,
four dollars is laid aside for the rent,
then seven dollars goes into the little
woman's pocket for fuel, groceries,
marketing and all household expenses.
Then whatever is left over is equally
divided between the two. This young
couple started out with their house.
hold goods all paid for, but | doubt
not, if they had been buying on the
'installment plan" four dollars only
would have gone into the wife pocket.
two dollars would have been takenfrom
the"equity fund and FIVE dollarsa week
would have been paid to the furiture
man. Such division and disposition
Of their incomes would work well in
any household, / am sure. This story
seems wise en0uge to point its own
moral, and for foar | may spoil it by
OVERRIDING, l won't say another word
beyond advisihg-cut this out and
show it to Smith or Brown who is to
be married next week.

The demand for money continues
limited in bank and on the streets.
Commercial paper offers in light
amounts and is discounted at s per
cent among the banks, with a range Of
from to 10 per cent ruling in the
open market.
Exchange is steady, the banks sell
ing drafts on ali points at par, while
they buy eastern cotton bills at 1915
per thousand on New York and New
England, if bearing no grace, and S.
per thousand where grace is asked,
The offerings of eastern bills are
liberal.
The pool system among freight lines
continues to agitate our foreign cotton
buyers, and the combination has shut
them out of enjoying any benefits from
the recent drop in ocean freight rates
in eastern seaports. The latessncwi
from New York report steam rates OF
cotton to Liverpool at 3-l6 to / pence
but shippers not being able to secure
bills Of lading, are compelled to lool
on wishfully. A through rate to Liv.
erponl, via New Orleans, has beer
secured at sgd, a considerable reduc
ton from former figures.

worked fafely we'll in England has
operated d~isastrously in Ireland.
The reason for this is to be found
very largely in the tenants. The
tenants ascribe all the mischief TO the
laws, and maintain that the English
land system is not suitable for Irish
men. That may be. 1t is a relic of
feudalism. But feudalism is not an
English invention; it was carried into
England by the Norman conquerors,
and later on it was carried into Ire
land. 1t may be that it has been
badly administered, and there is no
doubt hat the history of English rule
in Ireland is a history of bunders,
interrupted occasionally by crimes.
But these crimes have been returned
by the Irish with compound interest,
and it is idle in the extreme to main
tain that the cause of Irish distress is
all on one side. 1t is not, and never
was, and relief can be obtained ex
c~lLsively by the cordial corporation
Of both sides, the English and the
Irish.

PRESIDENT HAYES,
His Daily Life In the White House.

A writer in Good Company says
Mr., Hayes takes his life as easily as
any man who ever lived in the white
house. In the first place, he has the
great advantage of enjoying perfect
health, and, wiser than most men
overrun with business, he makes the
preservation Of his health a prime
consideration in ordering his daily
life. Before breakfast every morning,
except in the stormiest of weather, he
goes out for a long walk, and before
dinner every afternoon for a long ride.
So liberal Drafts Of fresh air promote a
good appetite and sound sleep, and the
first Impression one gets on the presi-
dent is that ofa vigorous man in the
prime Of his physical powers. The
noxt is that ola good-natured, pleas
ant.tempered person anxious to obliee
everybody. The caller never feels
that he is in the presence of a great
man, but if he enjoys an opportunity
for conversation he can hardly fail to
set Mr.. Hayes down as a ~'level.

tee, that a meeting will be held IN Cairo, on

well for the committee to ask the presence

roughnesses to smooth down, cancers to

The suggestion Of q conference comes
from the Chester Clarion, and we think it a

can scarcely hope to achieve the coveted
