To Husbands.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have everything in
readiness for you, but you should not
do anything for her.
When your wife asks for money, give
her nickel; ask her what she wants
with it, and, when she tells you, ask her
if she can't do without it. Then go
down town and spend ten times the
amount for cigars, for they are a neces-
sity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
around on the street corner and talk
politics; it's more interesting than to
stay at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns you wish.
Have your wife get up and make fires,
but don't get up yourself till the rest of
the family are eating breakfast, as you
might take cold.
Wear old clothes, and make yourself
as untidy as possible until your wife's
health fails; then it would be best for
you to fix up some, for IN all probability
you will want another when she is gone.
Have a smile for everybody you meet,
but get frown on before you go home.
Psychologist.

Speaker. Of all the men who ever oc-
cupied that position, Mr.. Randall was
probably the most tyrannical. He used
his position to direct party movements
and legislative matters to suit himself.
He was literally the "Boss" of Con.
gress. He exercised great power while
he held the position, but he did not
make himself friends. His absolutism
was acutely resented by many lead
ing Democrats, and his constant
interference became. exceedingly ir-
ritating. Moreover, Randall was not
good presiding officer. He familisrized
himself with the rules, but he was hest
tating and uncertain in his decisions,
and his willingness to construe any rule
or precedent in favor of some point
which he desired to sustain for the mo-
ment frequently entangled him in en-
barrassing complications from which he
could not extricate himself. 1t is only
due to Randall to say that the subsidists
and iobbers found no favor at his hand,
but this fact also made him enemies
who will not assist in any scheme look
ing to his reelection. There is not the
smallest chance for Mr.. Randall to be
reelected Speaker, and he will be fortu-
nate if he shall be able to retain the
leadership of his party on the floor OF
the House. Chicago Tribune. -

The Attempted Assassination Of PreSi-
dent jackson.

Thomas II. Benton, in his excellent
book, "Thirty Years in the United
States Senate, gives detailed account
of an attempt to assassinate Gen. Jack
son, which was made in the year 1885 !:
On Friday, the Both of January, the
President, with some of his Cabinet, at,
tended the funeral ceremonies of Warren
r. Davis, Esq, in the Hall of the House
of Representatives, of which body Mr..
Davis had been member from the Stat.
of South Carolina. The procession had
moved out with the body, and its front
had reached the foot of the broad steps
of the eastern portico, when the Presi-
dent, with Mr.. Woodbury., Secretary Of
the Treasury, and Mr.. Mahlon Dicker-
son, Secretary of the Navy, were issuing
from the door of the great rotunda,
which opens upon the portico. At that
instant person stepped from the crowd
into the little open space in front of the
President, leveled pistol at him at a
distance of about eight feet, and at
tempted to fire. 1t was percussion
lock, and the cap exploded without fir
ing the powder in the barrel. The ex-
plosion of the cap was SO loud s+that
many persons thought the pistol had
fired. I heard it at the foot of the steps,
far from the place, and great crowd be-
tween. Instantly the person dropped
the pistol which had missed fire; took
another which he had ready cooked in
the left hand, concealed by cloak
leveled it, and pulled the trigger. It was
also percussion lock, and the cap ex-
ploded without firing the powder in the
barrel. The President instantlyrushed
upon him with his uplifted cane the
man shrunk back Mr.. Woodbury. aimed
a blow at him Lieut.. Gedney, of the
navy, knocked him down he was Sc
cured by the bystanders, who delivered
him to the officers Of justice for judicial
examination. The examination took
place before the Chief Justice of the
district, Mr.. Cranch, by whom he was
committed in default of bail. His name
was ascertained to be Richard Lawrence,
an Englishman by birth, and house
painter by trade, at present out of en-
ployment, melancholy and irascible.
The pistols were examined, and found to
be well loaded; and fred afterward
without fail, carrying their bullets true,
and driving them through inch boards at
thirty feet distance; nor could any
reason be found for the two failures at
the door of the rotunda. On his exami-
nation the prisoner seemed to be at his
ease, as if unconscious of having done
anything wrong-refusing to cross
examine the witnesses who testified
against him, or to give any explanation
of his conduct. The idea of an unsound
mind strongly impressing itself upon the
public opinion, the Marshal of the Dis
trict invited two of the most respect
able physicians Of the city CDR. Caussin
and DIR. Thos. SewelD to visit him and
examine into his mental condition.

His Own Son.

A maiden lady of Berlin, Miss s., had
found sutton in the person of young
lawyer, who at an early hour in the
morning ran up to pay her a short visit.
Scarcely had he entered the room when
q knock was heard at the door. Tho
young lady, not wishing to be surprised
by some spying fair friend at SO early an
hour, prevailed upon her swain to take
refuge in a wardrobe, and turned the key.
Great was her terror ON opening the door
Of her room to see Sheriff walk in and
scrutinizingly glance at the furniture.
That officer had come to seize some of
her goods in order to satisfy the claim of
an impatient seamstress. The Sheriff
had fixed upon the wardrobe as the
piece of furniture best likely to cover
the demand of his claimant, and, suppos-
ing the wardrobe contained the very
dress which was the cause of his official
interference, he asked the lady to open
the same. This Miss S. declared to be
impossible. as she had lost the key. The
Sheriff smiled incredulously, and left the
room in search of locksmith, not, how
ever, before have put his official seal on
the keyhole of the wardrobe. Scarcely
had the door closed behind the myrmidon
of justice when the prisoner, first ten
Derby, then threateningly, demanded the
wardrobe to be opened, the trembling
maiden all the while imploring him to
bear the inevitable with fortitude. A
loud knock at the door announced the
return of the Sheriff. Without giving
him time to tell the locksmith as to what
was expected of him, the young lady
quickly pushed the honest workman into
the adjoining kitchen, and, with a pitiful
mien and gesture, handed the Sheriff the
key from her pocket. Making straight
for the wardrobe, that imperturbable off
Ger opened it, but started back, and, to
the discontinue of the almost-swooning
Miss S., exclaimed: "Bombs and gre
rades Charles, my boy, how the deuce
did you get into that box?" The situa-
ton leaving nothing to be desired in
point Of comical effect, became palpably
lucid.

wood. He was twelve feet long, sir, for
I measured him right then and there. A
few pounds more of strain would have
snapped the snake clear in two. l got
the horse away from the precipice. And
I might as well tell you the whole truth.
The snake wasn't over five feet long, for
when I took the strain off he came right
back to his natural size. You know how
elastic snake is. The child is 4 years
old, and wasn't frightened in the least.
