the strength continued many shorts were fright

in the grangers the trunk lines and the coal shares
BY the early afternoon, the shorts being covered,
an element of strength was removed, and the mar
ket lost the greater part of the advance. During
the afternoon the decline was assisted by rumors
that the Presidents condition was worse. The ru-

How to Treat a Wife.

First, get wife; secondly, be patient.
You may have great trials and perplexities
in your business with the world, but do not,
therefore, carry to yolr home cloudy or
contracted brow; your wife may have many
trials, which, though of less magnitude, may
be hard for her to bear. A kind, conciliato-
nv word, tender look, will 10 wonders In
chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom.
You encounter ysur difficulties in the open
air, famed by heavens cool breezes, but
your wife Is often shut in from these reviv-
ing influences, and her health fails--her
spirits lose their elasticity. But, o bear
with her. She has trials and sorrows to
which you are q stranger, but which your
tenderness can deprive of all their anguish.
Notice kindly her efforts to promote your
comforts. Do not receive all her good offices
as matter of course, and pass them by, at
the same time being very sure to observe
any omission of what you may consider
duty to you. Do not treat her with in
difference, If you would not scar and palsy
her heart, which, watered by kindness,
would, to the last day of your existence,
throb with constant and sincere affection
for you. Sometimes yield your wishes to
hers. Her preferences may be as strong as
yours. Regard it as an indulgence to your
self to yield sometimes. Think you it Is
not as difficult for her to give up always?
Is there not danger she will deem you
selfish? With such an opinion she cannot
love as she might. Again: Show yourself
manly man, that your wife may look up
to you, and feel that you will act nobly,
and that she can confde in your judg-
ment.

MAUD 8. HOLDS A LEVEE.
She Bows and serapes to the Ladies, Of Whom
She is Very Fond.
Cincinnati Commercial.


Maud s. had a number of distinguished
callers yesterday at her quarters IN Chester
Park. Amongthem was Miss Maggie MITCHELL
an old admirer of the famous mare, and Maud
seemed quite proud of the call, seeming TO
say: "Saw you last year. Always glad to
see you, Fanchon." Really, Maud 5. seems
human in her intelligence and gentleness
and especially fond of ladies. Mr.. Bair said
proudly, as he called her to him in the pas
ture, and she came as obediently as pet
dog: "Here is the quietest fast horse in the
world" EYES," replied gentleman pres
ent, sand the fastest quiet horse" There
were owners of several "cracks" present,
but no one seemed willing to dispute any
claim. made for the "Queen of the Turf" A
Lexington belle that reigned In the last de-
cade by her wit over the society of Fayette
county once crushed local beau who was
acquiring "adipose tissue with: "You are
losiHS your party shape, Dick" Maud s. is
just now in perfect health, but not IN her
"party shape" in which, trained into condi-
tion, she comes down past the grand stand
and looks the audience over deliberately and
tosses her saucy head and seems to say
"You applaud now; just wait minute; rll
give you something to cheer about" 1t gives
a good idea of how the equine queen istreat-
ed to quote Mrs. BAR, the wife of the noted
trainer. A lady present grew quite enthusi-
astic over the richness of Maud's trousseau
of blankets and other monogramed robes.
"They are not half good enough for her. y
said Mrs. Bair, with something Of the pride
and tenderness that she might have used in
speaking of favorite child. Maud S. is just
now devoting herself entiaely to eating and
sleeping.

The Physical Constitution of Matter

We clip the following paragraph from an
article on " What is Moleculs?" in the
Popular Science Monthly for September !:
Modern science declares that every substance
consists Of an aggregation Of extremely small
PARTICLES, which are called molecules. Thus,
II we can conceive a drop of water magnified
to the size Of the earth, each molecule being
magnifed to the same extent, 1t would cx-
hibit structure As coarse-grained as shot !;
and these PARTICLES represent real masses Of
matter, which are incapable Of further
subdivision without decomposition. A lump
of sugar, crushed to the finest powder, re-
tains its qualities; dissolved in water, the
mass Is divided into molecules, which are
still particles of sugar, though they are far
too small to be seen by the highest powers Of
the microscope. The physical subdivision Of
every body is limited by the dimensions Of
its molecules but the chemist can carry the
process further. He "decomposes,r = or breaks
up, these molecules into " atoms y but the
parts thus obtained have no longer the quali-
ties of the original substance. Hence The
molecule may be considered as the smallest
part Of substance in which its qualities In
here and every molecule, though physically
Invisible, can be broken up chemically Into
atoms. which ars thsmselvss ths molscules
! Of othsr and.. ..slemsntary bodies.

KEITT AND GROW.
The Tussie Between Them Twenty-Three
Years Ago.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
In response to inquiries elected by recent
references to ante e-bellum scrimmages on the
floor of Congress, we print short account
as published in the papers at the time-of
one which occurred in February, 1857, in
the discussion in the House ON the attempt
to admit Kansas as slave State, under the
Lecompton constitution, between Galusha
A. Grow, Of Pennsylvania, and Lawrence
NJ. Keitt, of South Carolina.
The conversation which led to this melee
and awakened the sleeping members was in
this wise Grow was on the side Of the
House occupied by Southern members and
objected to Quitman making any remarks.
Keitt said: If you are going to object re-
turn to yeur own side Of the House."
Grow replied: "This is a free hall !;
every man has a right to be where he
pleases." Keitt then came nearer TO Grow,
by such an answer as that?" Grow replied,
repeating what he had said before. Keitt
seized Grow by the throat, saying: 81 will
let you know that you are damned black
Republican puppy" Grow knocked up his
hand, exclaiming: 81 shall occupy such
place in this hall as 1 please, and no negro
driver shall crack his whip over me-" Keitt
again grasped Grow by the throat and again
his hand was knocked off and Grow knocked
him squarely down. The respective friends
of the parties rushed to the fray. Blows
fell thick and fast. Washburne, of Illinois
and Potter, of Wisconsin, lowered above the
combattants. At this critical juncture, Co
vode, of Pennsylvania, seized spittoon
He balanced it for moment in the air. Ths
objective point was the head of Barksdale
of Mississippi, who was approaching him o.
the spittoon in a menacing manner. Blu
Barksdale's wig fell off and Covode lowered
his suspended missile. Meanwhile, th'
Sergeant-at-arms was running here and Their
just alike the peewit," exhibiting his mac
without effect. Ii was near o'clock in the
morning when these proceedings tool
place.
