A GENTLEMAS.-Ify yOu cannot find
a gentleman to marry, girls, do not
marry at all. By tn term don't mean
a man who Is above the need of work;
he may be anything but a gentleman;
but man who knows hCw to work,
who has self-respect enough to keep
him from low habits both of speech and
action; who is courteous and honorable;
who is not afraid of snllmg his hands;
the farmer, the blacksmith, the car
penter, any man may be gentleman
under dust, SCOT and chips, but if he is
not, girls, don't marry him at all
There is enough trouble III life with
out increasing it in any way. Do not
subject yourself TO the modification
that would be sure to come with
husband who would continually cause
you to blush for his lawless actions,
for his coarsness and roughness, for
his slippery dealings or for his hypocrit-
ical polish. II is not sufficient that a
man looks and drtsses well; he must
act and live well besides.
Make your homes Beautiful. ou,
we are talking to, who read this paper.
You have "no money 20 sptnl, you say.
We did not tell you TO spend any. Your
home can be made beautiful by little
labor. A few trees set out here and
there to give their cooling shadows
when the fierce sunlight falls. A few
flowers yonder TO brighten with their
contrasting colors the green grass you
should have here. A little wbitewash
on that tenca and barn, All these
cost nothing, or rext to nothing, and
they vastly add to the appearance of
your place as well as to it's comfort.
Make your homes beautiful.

An exchange puts the liquor ques-
tion ON the following rigid but logical
grounds:
On the temperance question a stern
alternative is before the American
people. Either the nation must de
Stroy the rum trath, or the rum traffic
will destroy the nation. 1t is a death
grapple. One or the other Of the con-
testants is destined to perish. And the
sooner our people see the naked issue
the better. An ariStocracy of an en-
pre- may coeXist with the traffic, but L
drunken republic is inevitable ruin.
The springs Of action Gra weakened,
the sources of virtue are poisoned, the
public sentiment, on which depends
the stability of laws is debauched.

FIGHTING FOR A HUSBAND.
Wife Number Oas Taking Her
Revenge Upon Wife Num-
Der Two.

LEBANON, May '0.-The Farmers
Hotel at this place WIS last night the
scene of lively scrimmage between
two women, both Of whom claimed TO
be the wife Of certain individual
from Lancaster, who arrived here from
that city two weeks ago and stopped
at the above hotel. The lady who ac-
compauied the man in question was
his junior by about thirty years. He
is about fifty. His story was that his
wife died several years since and the
young lady had been an, inmate of the
house and personal friend Of his de-
ceased wife. He married her on &C
count Of Ler winning ways. They
seemed to enjoy their honeymoon and
matters passed along smoothly until
last evening, when wife number one
arrived on the ,sc,ne, accompanied by
a sister of the truant husband, for
such he proved TO be, having deserted
his first wife in Lancaster, after taking
about 500 Of her money. The man
and wife number two had jIst arrived
at the hotel after having taken
carriage ride. Their reception was of
"A lively nature The woman who had
been deserted sprang on the young
woman with the fury of tigress,
scratching and pounding her in ter
riblo manner until she was compelled
to beat retreat from the place. The
man had made arrangements to go in
% the livery business here aad for
this purpose had purchased a lot Of
horses from prominent citizens. The
arrival Of wife number one and the
story she told Of his doings had |
the effect Of putting quietus on
the arrangement.

A Strange suicide.

DETROIT, Sept. Quite remarkable
case of suicide occurred few miles from
Ithaca, Gratiot county this State, Sunday
last. A man named Martin K. Walker,
lived on a small farm there, formerly a
prosperous stock raiser in California; but
Is years ago come east and five years ago
settled on the place of his last residence.
Drink and gambling were his besetting
sins, and he finally lost pretty much all
his little property remaining. He went
into field, stripped himself of his clothes,
fired a brush heap,put a gun to his head,
snapped it three times without dischaging
it, intending to kill himself and allow
his body to fall on the burning pile.
Sunday last he carried this singular at
tempt at suicide into effect and was
found with the top of his head COM
pletely blown of, and his naked body
partly burned, on blazing brush heap,
which he had kindled. He left letter
his determination and ex-
pressing confirmed hopefulness as to him
self and warning his children to avoid
He leaves q wife and several
grown children.

Lake Tahoe.

The Tahoe Tattlsr asserts that great
many erroneous ideas about Lake Tahoe
are in circulation, and announces that
hereafter it shall be special part of its
business to correct them. Here is the
first installment of corrections: at is
situated 9, 220 feet above the sea, is %
miles long from north to south and 1911
miles wide, the general contour being a
parallelogram. The greatest measured
depth that we have good authority for is
1906 feet. The temperature never goes
below 80 deg. Fahrenheit, and in the
summer never above so deg. unless 1t be
near the shore IN some sheltered cove or
where q stream of sun-warmed water
runs into il. At depth Of
500 feet the temperature never changes,
being 383 degrees. This fact accounts
tc- snother-thst of drowned persons
never rising-the water being so cold
that no gases are generated; hence the
body in time simply goes to pieces from
the action of the water. 1t is as buoy
ant as any other pure water at the same
there being no appreciable diff
ference in the readings of the hydrome-
ter; hence the statements that wood does
not float for any time, persons can not
swim, and the like, are fallacies. The
air being very light at this elevation
above the level of the sea, exercise of
any kind, either on land or water, can
not be so long continued as in lower and
heavier atmosphere"

A BARBER SPECTATOR,
VIII" Left his Customers Face Halt
shaved on Hearing that Wheat
Had Declined.
Cincinnati Gazette.

A rather ludicrous incident illustra
tive of the speculative mania which has
seized on people of all stations in life,
sad at the same time good enough
joke on one of our prominent merchants,
occurred yesterday as the result of the
unusual decline in the Chicago wheat
market Mr.. Charles Fox, of the firm of
Fox s. Thomas. I'd entered tons Jrial
establishment, and, divesting himself
of his cost and vest, had made himself
comfortable, and submitted his face to
the razor of one of the colored gentle
men, who, of course, entertained him on
all the topics of the day. One side of
the face had been lathered and shaved,
and the other was just undergoing the
first operation, when a dusky friend of
the barber rushed frantically in, shout
ing, October wheat's down to twenty
two and three-quarters." The barber
dropped his razor, and even left off in
the middle of his conversation, and with
no further explanation than "got to go
tn the bucket shop" started for the door.
Mr.. Fox suggested mildly that his face
lacked that symmetry which Is necessary
to beauty. The specula.or only answered
as he rushed out of the door. "Can't
help it; sin't got no time; go, to go to
the bucket shop"

WASHINGTON, Sept. Now that the
confidence in the Presidents recovery is
being restored the subject of the execu-
tive business is again discussed and in
connection with it the probability and
feasibility of General Arthur being called
upon to act as President until President
Garfield is sufficiently recovered to war
rant his resumption of executive duties.
The fact cannot well be overlooked that
in every department of the government
there are matters in status quo that re-
quire the action of the chief executive,
AMI how long they can remain
so, without positive detriment
to the public interests, is question that
must soon be met. Although it is posi-
lively known that no meeting of the Cab
met has been had or called to discuss the
subject, yet it is acknowledged bv the
Cabinet officers that several informal ex-
changes of opinion have been INDUCED
in, and it has been found that grave diff
ferences exist as to the wisdom of such q
step, not the least consideration being
the poss BILE effect upon General Garfield
in his present weak state, if, as it must
necessarily be, the matter is called to
his attention. 1t is well known
that even, notwithstanding the as
surance of his physicians and friends,
that the public business is in no way suf
fering through his contiL ued disability,
he nevertheless thinks much upon the
subject, no better evidence being needed
sflan the fact that during his recent de- |
lirium his incoherent uttersnces were |
and entirely in relation to |
public matters, and it is feared his re
covery might be seriously retarded by |
The know ledge, if it was deemed neces-
'ary for another to perform his constitu-
.ional duties. 1t is safe to say this step /
will not be advised by the Cabinet at |
present.

THE PRESIDENT DOING NICELY.
Dr. BOynlOn Interviewed.

WAsHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The President
| is having quiet, comfortable day. He
chewed another piece of bcef.teak and
| swallowed the juice cary this morn
ing, and since then has had little
chicken cooked in milk beside the usual
allowance of beef extract and porridge.
All the symptoms continue favorable. In
q conversation this forenoon DR.. Boynton
said the Pre- sident is doing as nicely as
they could wish to have him. The slight
fever which occurred last evening and
which is referred to in this mornings
bulletin was not, DR.. Boynton thinks, a
matter of any great consequence; its
duration was transient and it was nothing
more than one of the fluctuations which
are to be anticipated 80 long as the pa
tient remains in his present weak state.

strength" inquired the reporter.

it discharged more than it does, but its
condition has improved. The pus which
comes from it now is much better in
character than heretofore"
"How soon do you think the President
can be moved"
81 can not say definitely. 1t depends
upon the progress which he makes dur
ing the next few days If he continues
to improve as rapidly as he has during
The past thirty-six hours, it will be safe
to move him before long, say within q
week"
"How do you think he can best be
csrriedi"
al think he can go either by water or
by rail without any suffering. He Is not
subject to sea sickness, and could staai

tie, swinging motion. He could also be
moved in 3 specially fitted railway car
