A husbands Love.

1t is easy enough to win husband.
Most any attractive little dumpling with
bright eye and coaxing voice can
gather in - noble husband, but it is
pretty difficult to retain him. Noble
husbands are thicker than hair on dog
but the grand difficulty is to draw out
their nobility and secure it at home.
If the wife only understands her bush
ness she can introduce the soothing
racket In her new field of operations
and walk away with the whole business.
Most men like to be loved and soothed.
There is something in the mans great,
rough, earnest nature that can be won
quicker and easier with gentleness and
pity than by the logic of the broom
handle and bilious course of reason
ing with bread and milk diet.
We have seen a girl who understood
her business take areformed road agent
by the nose, SO to speak, and lead him
through life in such 4 way that he
would mt know but that he was boss OF
the ranch. So perfect was the delusion,
that when she asked him to bring in q
scuttle of coal, or get up in his night
shirt and kill q burglar, that, he knew
was nothing but a bob-taiied COW four
blocks away, he always went, and he
felt as though he counted it q mark OF
special favor that poor unworthy
worm ofathe gdnst, like him, should be
sought out and delegated to go and
chase q lame cow across nine vacant
lots with an old barrel stave. and cloth
ed ia nothing but a little brief authority
and a night shirt.
We cannot exactly describe this magic
power of devoted wife over her htls-
band, and we do not intend to try It.

A "Tnn Httar y Man.

Charles Frost Williams began to be
particular as soon as locked up. He
wanted a looking-glass and spring
bed in his cell; refused to drink from
the dipper in common use, and stood
up for three hours rather than sit down
on the wefl-worn bench. When his
turn came to appear in court he wanted
a clean collar, tooth brush and some
perfume for his handkerchief, and he
seemed greatly put out as he was left
facing the desk.

softly asked.

Tor she came at atfYne when I was not

absolute suffering by her carelessness.
On her arrival she deliberately shook

this performance it was necessary to
put the apartment into thorough order

walking when should have rode, and
beggingme to accompany her to place

Sagaeitv of a DOG.

A most interesting anecdote has ap-
peared in some of the Belgian papers.
A gentleman residing in Antwerp
wished to get rid of spaniel, and gave
it to an intending emigrant to take
with him TO America. Two months
later the owner of the dog was on the
quay attending to some business there,
when the American steamer arrived.
What was his establishment to see the
faithful animal, which he believed
thousands of miles away, upon per-
ceiving his master, jump overheard,
and, after a swim of five minutes,
scramble up the steps and testify with
the most intense satisfaction his Joy at
finding him once more. tom" must
either have hidden himself on board
the steamer, or watched until it was
about TO sail. in order to get back to
his master, who, it is to be hoped, will
appreciate his sagacity and affection as
they deserve. ..-.

Dogs.

Among the many important measures
to be presented to the next legislature
not one is of greater financial bearing
than such tax on dogs as will elimi-
nate all but the truly serviceable-per-
haps one in ten thousand. Let us state
facts. One of the things upon the
college farm, in which we take the
greatest pleasure, is the choice herd of
South Down sheep. just across the
way two worthless dogs are owned, the
cunningest brutes that ever pestered
neighborhood. As sure as sheep
strays into the eornfeld it is killed. or
if accidentally left out of the fold at
night. They never come within reach
of gun and they cannot be poisoned
by ordinary means. Were it not for
such causes, the sheep industry would
be one of the most profitable in Iowa.
There are injurious weeds enough in
the state which if converted into NUT
ton, would amount to over twenty
millions annually. The foxtail in the
cornfields of. Iowa would make three
million dollars worth of mutton, and
the halle brush would make quite an
additional sum. What hindersp Dogs.
A splendid piece of mutton could
smoke on farmers table, instead of
the slice of picked pork. In threshing
and harvesting, the flock : of sheep
would be the convenient resource for
the dinner, and that prince of cold
meats would serve for supper and the
children's school lunch. What binders?
Vilainous dogs.
The good housewife could exchange
wool for warm clothes and the COM
Portable fiannels, which retain the rosy
cheeks on the children. What hindersp
A herd of abominable ours that never
earned dollar, brought dollar of in
come to the family since man planted
his foot on Iowa soil. They eat the
chiIdren's bread at the poor mans
table and grow simply to scatter feas
and to return their worthless carcasses
to the soil. They are the predatory
thieves that make night hideous with
their bowls; they plumber the farm at
will and kill the peaceable sheep out of
pure meanness. Let this relict of bar
barism be abated by law.
Down with the dogs! Long live the

Blood Drinkers at ALBANY,

A reporter of the Albany Evening
journal, who has visited the abattoirs
in that city, writes as follows of the
persons who gather there to drink
blood: Several people, as soon as the
throat was cut, with sleeves uprolled
and grasping a glass, hurried over to
the hanging carcass, and holding the
goblets in turn under the ruby stream,
filled their glasses, and then drank the
steaming liquid. One, middle-aged
man, seemed old in the business, for he
threw the contents of the glass off at
one drauoht. Another threw some salt in
his glassful before drinking. while
another could hardly make up his mind
whether ornot o drink it. At last he
shut his eyes. and then, after three or
four efforts, succeeded in swallowing
about half of the glassful. The re-
porter approached one of the butchers
after he had finished dressing the car
cass on which he was at work, and ask
ed: DO the same people come every
day pr mo. they come two or three
times week on the average" was the
reply, '.Do any women ever come?''
Eyes, there used to be one young girl,
but the last I saw of her she seemed to
be getting feshy, and has stopped COM
ing altogether"
One of the inva1ids was then approach
ed and asked: 'sHow doyoH like blood
drinking?'' "Well, I'll tell you. At
first, when the doctor told me that /
would have to drink warm bullock's
blood or die, L told him I preferred the
latter, l reconsidered my thought and
came up to the slaughter-house. /
thought at first I could not touch it, and
the sight of killing sickened me. But
[ soon overcame that feeling, and when
1 raised the first glass to my lips / split
the contents over me. Next time / shut
my eyes and drank it down. 1t tasted
like rich milk, and if l kept my eyes
shut L would not have known the diff
ference" Another of The drinkers was
asked how it tasted. ''How does it
taste?" said he; sit is richer than the
richest of cream. 1t is simply delicious,
and u drink not to be compared wife
any potion extant. 1t is simply the
elixir of life. You can feel its strength
rs it spreads through your veins. If it
hadn't been for its strengthening quail
ties, / would have been dead three
years ago. Il -

Deacons.

The Richmond Religious Herald
vouches for this: "There was serious
trouble between two deacons. and the
pastor preached a tender sermon for
their special benefit. and the deacons
were in tears. Next morning one of
them called at the shop of the other,
and said, That sermon was more than
I can stand, and have called to say
this difficulty between us must be set
tied; and 10 that end we ought to be
willing to make any sacrifice Very

Rice in Louisiana.

There is no State in the South where
this valuable cereal can be cultivated
with more success and profit than
Louisiana. The numerous streams,
bayous, and rivers that cut through the
Commonwealth in all directions, and
which forms complete network OF
water ways irrigate and fructify the
greater part of our rich lands. In st.
Charles parish the cultivation of the
grain has been found so profitable, and
the soil and the climate in every way so
congenial to its perfect development,
that thousands of acres formerly devo-
ted to other crops have been, for the
past ten years, sown to rice. Within
the last year or two its cultivation has
been attempted in the Lake Charles dis
triet. 1t has been found SO profitable
that the area of the new crop was in
creased several thousand acres this
season. But the fact has been ascer-
tanned that the upland or dry rice will
grow equally as well in our soil, and
will produce as prolifcally as the wet
rice. Many farmers are now planting
it in preference to any other for many
reasons, but principally on account Of
the less trouble and difficulty attending
its production. We believe that the
time is not far distant when Louisiana
will produce the greater part of the rice
consumed in this country. A customs
tariff, sufficiently large to not only
protect tue Southern planter. but to
make Che cultivation ofthe cereal profit
able, is levied by tho national Govern
ment. It effectually protects our farm
ers from the competition of India, of
Africa, and of Ceylon. where labor is so
cheap that rice can be raised with but
little expense to the producer. Thus
it may be safe to assume that rice
cultivation will now rival sugar-plant-
ing in Louisiana. and that this industry
is destined to become of great impor-
lance to the State. -Neeo Orleans Dem
