transpired for the sake of her daughter, a
beautiful girl Just reaching womanhood.
OF late, Mr.. c., while providing sufficiently
for the household necessities, has been Oh
durate to appeals fer money to dress his
wife and daughter in a style becoming their
position. This, csupled with knowledge
of his sources of income, particularly real
estate, made his wife still more suspicious

item mentioned size knew to belong to her
husband, and he had assured her it was
rented. Determined to sift the matter to
the bottom, she chose an opportunity when
he was out of the city few days since to
call at the house. A colored woman respond

she asked. No sooner was the affirmative
answer given than al inkling OF the true

bedroom of the house the excited lady passed.
There
HER WORST FEARS WERE REALIZED.
On the wall were pictures Of her husband
and the mistress of the branch establishment.
Evidences of lavish expenditure met her eye
on every hand. The simplicity of her own
modest home and room was utterly put in
the shade. Incenscd to a degree that she
scarcely knew what she did. she commenced
to ransack the closets and bureau drawers.
Here she found fresh food 70. her righteous
wrath Letters from her husband to her
rival, portraits in every style, some even full
of obscenity, met her eyes. These she
trampIed under foot. Silk dresses, laces
and other costly attire We're found and sim-
larly treated. Having exhibited herself in
this natural but useless proceeding, she left
the house and its astohished custodian.
The latter was promptly discharged on the
return of her employer, for not better guard

when he should have his holiday and the
manner in which it should be observed
Several correspondents have hit on the
18th of November as the proper date, be-
cause il is the Presidents birthday, but
they forget that that will be long time
after the Ohio election, in which MIR.
Foster is deeply Interested Just now
One gentleman suggests that the affair be
made international in its character, and
that all the great nations Of the earth be
invited to join. No doubt Charles, of
Fostoria, would grapple as jauntily in
this business with the crowned heads of
Europe as he did with the governors of
the states OF the union. There is bare
possibility, however, that the crowned
heads aforesaid might be distressingly
ignorant of the existence OF MIR. Foster

to the governor OF Texas
