/ Matter Of business.

you We're out late last night, dear, !"
said Mrs. Breezy, taking her seat at the
breakfast-table and fumbling nervously
with her fork
ooh, no, said Mr. Breezy, lit wasn't
late. You see, darling, you were asleep
when came in, and
'No, Mr.. Breezy, | was not asleep,
but, as you say, it was not late tor you.
Nothing would convince you that the
clock struck 5 as you closed the hall
door. OF course business detained you,
my dear 1t is wonderful how much
business a man will find to transact af-
ter midnight, but of course we women
know nothing about such doings. We
never can understand you men, can we,
dear? We are always imagining all sorts
of horrid things when you happen to
stay away day or two without send
ing us even a line. Women are so
nervous, are they not. dear? What silly
creatures We are, to be sure. IF we
would only 90 to bed, and 60 to sleep,
It would save us a world of trouble
wouldn't 1t, dear? We might know that
you great strong men can take care of
yourselves. If you are obliged 10 sit
up until , or o'clock in the morning
talking business with your customers,
1t Is really ungrateful in us to COM
plain, for, Of course, you have the worst
of 1t, don't you, darling? How It must
have bothered you, and how tired YOU
must get, and think it is all for our
sakes. When you come lettering home
so tired that you can hardly get up
stairs, and throw yourself on the bed
without even the strength to remove
your boots, We should appreciate your
devotion In thus laboring to support US.
Now, last night, dear, when you STUN
bled over the rockingham, and found
yourself obliged to cling to the head
board to support your weary !orm, you
presented really sad example of the
overworked husband and father. When
your shattered nerves caused you to
upset my fsesh bottle Of cologne, and
scatter the contents of my work-basket
over the floor, you really looked the
typical martyr of married life. OF
course you 10 not remember il, dear
You were TOO tired and worn out with |
that horrid, stupid customer 10 remem-

must have talking business up to 3 |

1t Is not entirely unreasonable that
Vice Presidents, selected as ours have
been, should uniformly revere the
general policy of their Immediate pre-
decessors. Tyler did it; Fillmore did
it; johnson did it, and Arthur is reason.
ably certain to do it. And why? The
answer is simple and logic. Vice Presi.
dents represent nothing. They are
nominated to meet some present and
accidental political necessity, Generally
resulting from the nomination Of the
Presidential candidate. They, there
fore, represent no great sentiment in
the party, and they become ciphers in
the administration They grayitate IN
to arrangement because they are voice
less; the Disappointment of the party
naturally cluster about them until they
become the centeral figure of the OPP
position, and when they succeed TO he
power that disregardsd them they Ial

4 Quaker Wedding.
From the London Graphic

Marriage is contracted among the
members Of the Society of Friends with
as little ceremony as all their other re-
ligious duties are performed. The young
people, having fallen in love and Oh
tanned the consent of their parents to
the proposed union, give notice to the
Ecclesiastical Council, who make the
needful inquiries. and publish form
Of banns at the following Sunday meet
ing to ascertain if there be any valid
objection to the marriage After these
preiminaries the bride and bride
groom, with their relatives aud friends,
attend one of the ordinary week day
devotional meetings, at which the sol
emn contract is completed without any
formal ritual, there being no ergyman
and no ring.
Without parson or priest at the table they stand,
And the bridegroom says-hol ing his bride by
the hand
Il, John take Friend Margaret here for my wife.
To be loving ard faithful, while God gives US
life

Yet who ever heard Ct Quaker divorced

AN IMMENSE FARM.
Fifty-HNe Thousand Acres Enclosed
by $50 Miles of Fence,

The great wheat field of California
lies in Colusa county, which also con
talns one of the largest farms in the
world. The country comprises large
part of the extensive Sacramento val
ley, and is sixty miles in length and on
the average forty-tive miles in width.
1t has an area of about 100000 acres.
Of which 100000 grows wheat. OF
this vast tract AT 900 acres are owned
by 129 men. One owns 90 1000 acres:

has been to debar immigration and
choke out tradesmen and mechanics.
The largest landowner in Colusa
county is DR.. Hugh ], Glenn. His
farm contains $4,000 acres, and has q
river frontage of sixteen and hall

The labor force employed is composed
of 10 men-225 seeding. and 400 ii

required. The yield of wheat from
this farm will average 100000 bushel.

High Wages and Mining.
Peoria Transcript.

ftOfih Transcript
The advance in wages ali through
the Mississippi valley and east IS likely
to prove injurious to Western mining
interests. As is generally known. a
large share Of the mineral found in Col
orado and south of il is of low grade
order This can be worked to a rea-
sonable profit when the wages of the
workingmen are not over - 80 or 50
per day. But at $3.50 or 81 day the
employer would lose from 80 to 20
cents daily on each man. Wages now
average g day in Illinois, and that il
certainly equivalent to 50 a day back
in the mountains of Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona or Montana Hence,
the question Is, whether those who
went west in such large numbers two
or three years ago, with view of be-
tering their fortunes, viii not generally
return unless their wages be advanced.
But should the wages be increased,
there would be very little, if any, mar
gin left for the mine owners Hence it
IL manifest that thousands would be
forced to suspend work in the event of
a further increase of wages. And even
as matters are, large numbers viii re-
turn during the autumn and winter;
for less than three In FIVE of those who
went west did so with the intention of
remaining there. We trust that west
ern interests will not suffer by these
prospective changes.

A Very Strange story About Guiteau

MENTOR, o., Sept. 21-The Rev. w.
=. Hendryx, pastor Of the Disciple
! Church at Mentor, said that in the
midst of the campaign a year ago Gen
eral Gartield's family received intima-
tons from Chicago Of his being in dan
ger. Being demonstrated with for not
being more cautious, Garfield replied
to Hendryx: Il did not seek nomina-
ton, and the Lord will protect me if it
is His will Hendryx then said that
one very dark night during the cam
paign, after the family had retired, a
knock was heard, and Garfield went to
the door. \ man there said another
man in buggy outside, fully six rods
away, in darkness. wanted him to come
out to see him. HE is welcome in. but
cannot go out there" This ended
the interview. When Guiteau's por-
trait reached Mentor after the shoot
ing, several persons recognized it as a
Notwithstanding face they had seen
several times in the village. His last
words on leaving Mentor, said Hen
dryx, we're so bold that We feared for
him. He was thoroughly in earnest to
oppose Mormonism and carry out the
principles of his Inauguration. The
baser elements of society saw in him
an uncompromising enemy. and he has
fallen victim to his boldness of speech.
These things show that the people of
Mentor had fear of some trouble be-
falling President Garfield From the
very beginning this fear was also the
measure Of their love, which was shown
in their attendance at his house to-day
with words OF tenderness for the stricE-
en- family, especially the two youngest
Garfield boys, who felt their fathers
death keenly, and would not be COM
forted for long time.
