Now let the good people of England
cry aloud and spare not upon Mr..
Gladstone again ''as a traitor to his
God, his queen and his country" In
the House Of Commons a few nights
ago Mr.. Grant Duff, under secretary
for the Colonies. in answer to Sir ID.
Wedderburg, said that Cetewayo was
being detained on a farm four miles
from Cape Town, and would he allowed
four or more wives-the number to be
settled by the Cape Government and
the government Of Natal. This public
recognition of polygamy should inspire
the Mormons with hope Of finding
a resting place If between Pres
ident Garfield and Governor Murray
they are compelled to leave Utah. The
consultation between the authorities OF
the Cape Colony and of Natal as to the
number of wives to be allowed the ex
king of the Zulus ought to be interes-
ting.
1t Is to be presumed that they repre-
sent the extreme views OF both Sec
tions-those holding that a matrimon-
ial four-in-hand best suits the severe
simplicity Of the fallen monarch's state,
and those, more generous, inclining to
allow him the consultations in his captiv-
ity Of fourteen to forty. To the I'M
prejudiced observer ii seems that even
four wives would be too many under
such circumstances. Fancy four ex-
queens recalling to him the s~plendors of
the court-life aud shrilly reminding
their lord that If he had only ''taken
their advice" while the wretched man
is denied the trifling satisfaction of
being able to silence them with his ir-
responsible assegai.

The Bridgeport Standard tells the
following story ''for true'': Alta church
sociable, some time ago, a theological
student was detailed to assist a young
lady, whom he had long admired from
afar, in making out a new Sabbath
school library catalogue.
The prospective minister found the
task by no means an unpleasant one, as
the charming young creature read him
the title of each book from the title
page, while he delightedly copied 1t into
the catalogue before him. In fact there
fitted through the mind of the sedate
aud rather bashful youth, several times,
the question whether the aforesaid
maiden with her pretty figure and
bright eyes could not be induced to be-
come the ''sharer Of his labors and

THE OLD STORY.

A sensational attempt at murder
occurred on Sunday evening on West
Madison street, Chicago. For some
time L. II. Atcherson, salesman in A..
II. Andrews & Co.'S furniture estab-
ment, had suspected that his wife,
Jenny Atcherson, was guilty of i'm
proper intimacy with Austin A. Burn
ham, bookkeeper of the Chicago club.
All the parties occupied adjoining
rooms in the same house, and Atcher-
son laid a trap to ascertain the truth of
his suspicion, by boring a small hole
through the ceiling of Burnham's room
near the cashier, and then pretended
that he was going out of the city.
Instead of which he took a friend and
stationed himself between the roof and
the ceiling of Burnham's room. His
watch was finally rewarded by the
realization of his worst fears. for he
saw his wife and Burnham in taqrante
delictu, to which his friend also was
witness. He then fired through the
ceiling at Burnham, the ball grazing
the latter's thigh aid passing through
the bed into the floor. Mrs. Atcherson
rushed to the window and fired five
shots from a revolver, to attract the
police. Atcherson was arrested, and
he tells the whole story with great
calmness.

OPPOSED TO PAYING RENT

A largely attended anti-rent meeting
was held in Chicago last Sunday night,
the attendance being mainly composed
of members of the workingnen's
union. Resolutions were passed de-
nouncing the recent marked advance in
rents, which already had absorbed the
principal portion of the fruit of the
workingman's industry, and stating
that the workingmen, having through
the dreary winter paid out their hard
earned wages for fuel at three times its
nominal value, for rotten eggs, tough
chickens, diseased meat, tallow butter,
sanded sugar, adulterated and poison
GUS bread, tea, coffee, etc, were unable
to pay increased rent for places to live
in, which were unfit for the lower
animals. The resolutions call the atten-
tion of reformers and philanthropists
70 the fact that the great masses Of the
working people in that city are already
crowded together in small frame houses
or shanties, and in dilapidated rooms in
rotten tenements, and pledge active
agitation until the rents are made rea-
sonable.

Someone has been libeling Gail Ham,
ilton by publishing the statement that
she is dependent for support upon her
relatives, Secretary Blaine and others.
The rash person will doubtless take it
back at once when he reads Calls in
dignant denial, in which she says:
II would have you to know what |
vainly try to impress upon the Washing
ton public. that l am not a poor relation,
but l have a house of my own, Sir, and
l am a land owner, and pay taxes, and
support the minister. and put my name
down on subscription papers, and do the
marketing, and grumble over expenses,
just like a man and a brother, and you
had better call this way and see me
do it,"
We don't know of any woman bet
ter able to take care of herself than
Gail Hamilton. The lady's home in
Massachusetts, is a delightful old farm
house which was her fathers and to
which she has added some improve
m6nts.

IOWA IRLs.
They Want Protection from tn
surpIus Females OF The East.


-
Iowa is one of the twenty-three states
of the union in which the masculine
sex predominant, the late censu show
ing an excess of males of Just two and a
tenth per cent. This information has
excited the press Of the state to unite
in a cordial invitation to the surplus
females of the eastern states TO emf
CRATE to Iowa. The result is no little
indignation IN the part of those Iowa
maidens who are still in the market
despite the male surplus.
A letter published from a MassIchu-
sets girl describing the only kind Of
husband which would be acceptable in
that quarter, was too much for n Of
the Iowa sisterhood, who sent the fol-
lowing vigorous protest to the editor OF
the Iowa Register. =.
wish to ''speak my piece" On the
subject of surplus men in Iowa. There
is another side to the subject-one that
interests the single women who are here
now. We are decidedly opposed to
having fifty thousand women, or even
ten thousand sent in here TO take the
few men who can be induced to marry.
l have not had a beau this winter,
and am not willing to share my chance
for a husband with those of Massachu-
sets ladies lit is hopeless enough now,
for a new face always attracts atten-
ton, even if not SO pretty as the old
one. / think any Iowa mar answering
the description given by A, etc., of
Boston, u very easily find an Iowa
girl as pretty, neat and good natured as
those Massachusetts ''old maids" We
are not 80 particular about height,
weight or color of hair, SO they have
the other accomplishments.
You need not pass this by as an
''idle tale" or the ''growl" of some
ill-natured, ''lat-nosed" red.headed
''old maid.n am a little past p, and,
to put it modestly, nice looking; can
sew, knit, cook, teach school, play the
organ, etc., and am willing to do my
part toward supporting a husband.
Where | live there are four marriage
able men, two %widowers, one SO years
old, and smokes, the other 80, and drinks
whisky; two bachelors, one about 40 or
so. with two old maid sisters to support,
and the other not intelligent enough to
be q republican-in fact he is a whin-
ing, bowling greenbacker, who thinks
everything is going to smash, and won't
marry. Do take pity on the single
Iowa girls and get IA ''surplus man" for
each one of us before sending to Mass
achusetts, and we will ever remember
you with grateful hearts, and have
those same men subscribe for the Re
gisfer. A GUTHRIE COUNTY GIRL.
