and good feeling way to state the truth
Ever since my married life | have been
deeply devoted and intensely in love with
my husband. lhave tried in every way to
please him, and was under the impression
that was doing so. My husband has six
children, two boysand four girls. Three oi
them are at the Georgetown Convent, and
one, young lady, was my constant
companion. We frequently had diff.
crenccs about the children, and was
exceedingly unhappy because my husband
always took sides with them against me.

strenuous efforts had been made to that
end upon Garfield and he supposed they
had been renewed upon Arthur. lie Is
certain to make fight, not to hold on so
much as to defend hmselffrom the charges

there will probably be much light thrown
upon the management Of the department
during the Hayes administration, when 1t
was given out that Tyner was the RESPONSE.
