HINTS 10 HUSBANDS.

1t is unhealthy to wear your boots
in the house after o'clock a. m. The
common plan is to remove them in the
hallway, but many of our most expe-
rienced husbands prefer the front steps.
Always take boot in each hand when
going upstairs. This plan gives you
two boots at the cat before stepping
on her. Never say anything to your
wife on these occasions except ayes
and "no." Never compel your wife
to get up first and build the fire. If
she doesn't do it of her own accord,
go to sleep again. Another way to
accomplish the same result is to whistle
"Grandfather's Clock" A true wo-
man will always get up under such
circumstances. When your daughters
get big enough to have beaux, give up
the parlor to them cheerfully. 1t is
much better to let the dog bite them
as they start for home than to scold
the girl until she cries and then have
to buy her seal-skln sacque as
souvenir of your idiocy. Always re-
member your' wedding day, and try
and mark the occasion by some little
act showing that you remember it.
Coming home half full will often sig
nalize the anniversary in marked and
expensive manner. Bring your sons
up to some occupation that will enable
them to get living when thrown
upon their own resources. Nothing
makes young man so self-reliant as
having a trade of his own. Bunko
steerers frequently make $1oo day.

A prospector, just IN from the hills,
went to one Of the city hotels to get a
good square meal. After partaking OF
the substantials he ordered a change,
and the waiter brought him some pie

rather diminutive, and the old miner
pulled out his mineral glass, and after
gazing long and earnestly through it

FORTUNES IN LITTLE
THINGS.

There are many small items which
here reach an immense aggregate.
One man has got rich in the oyster
she'll business. He has barge ready
to receive all that are sent, and these
he takes to Long Island and burns into
lime. His carts call at the oyster
saloons and remove their shells to the
barge, for which he receives seventy
five cents per load. Another man has
made a fortune in the manure bust
ness. His carts call at the livery sta
bles and are loaded without charge,
the accommodation being sufficient
consideration. They dump into a
barge and the contents are foated to
Long Island and sold to farmers. The
sand trade also reaches an immense
extent. This article is brought in
barges distance of 100 miles and is
stored in yards and sold to builders as
may be wanted. The traffic in empty
barrels has also become a heavy item.
Empty molasses casks are taken to
pieces, bound up in "shooks," and
reshipped to the plantations. Carpet
shaking has also become great spe-
cialty, being now done by steam. The
beating is done in large upper room
where the draft carries off the dust,
and the result is so satisfactory that
the old method is superseded. The
steam carpet-beater reaps a rich har-
vest at this season of the year. Little
things thus reach a vast aggregate in a
great city, and fortunes are made in
specialties apparently Of the most
petty character. Nothing is wasted
here. The refuse Of the market is
bought by cheap boarding house keep
ers, and the chiffonier CLEANS from the
sweepings of the streets.-N. Y Corr.

GUITEAU'S DEFENSE.

The evidence introduced by the de-
tense in the Guiteau trial, this week, is
certainly calculated to create a reason
able doubt in the minds of the jury as
to his sanity, if it does not fully estab-
lish the fact that he is a lunatic. Prom
inent politicians who had met him at
Republican headquarters in New York,
during the Presidential campaign of
1880, considered him Unbalanced men,
tally, and testified that his speech was
ridiculous disiointed affair. This EVIL
dence would not have much weight
were it not for the fact that these wit
nesses sympathized with Guiteau pelit-
ically, as nearly all political speeches
are considered ridiculous by those of
different politics from the speech MAX
er. Eminent medical men, some of
whom have had experience with luna
tics in insane asylums, were of the cpin-
ion that the defendant was of unseund
mind. Among these are DR.. Ken
non, of the Medical Review; DIR. Mich
oils, of the Bloomington Asylum; DIR.
Folsom, of Boston; DR.. Gelding, of the
Government Insane Asylum; DR.. Chan
ming, of Brookine, Massachusetts,; and
DIR. Mcbride, of Milwaukee.
If Guiteau's victim had not been
President of the United States, the evil
dence of those men would be sufficient
to satisfy the public that the tragedy
of the I'd of July was the act of mad
man, but as 1T is they are not satisfied,
and apparently will not be until Gui-
teau is convicted and executed. For
the honor of the country, and to con-
vince the world that the life of the
President of the United States is only
endangered by lunatics, the SILVER
STATE sincerely hopes that Guiteau's
insanity will be established beyond all
doubt, and that he will be confined
where he cannot be ''the instrument of
the Deity in taking the life of a Presi-
dent or anybody else.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
What Arthur has to say on National
Affairs.

Affairs.
In his message to the Senate and
House of Representatives, President
Arthur says.
An appalling calamity has befallen
the American people since their chosen
representatives last met in the halls
where you are now assembled. We
might else recall with unalloyed con-
tent the prosperity with which through.
out the year the nation has been
blessed. Its harvests have been plen-
teous, its varied industries have thriv-
EN-, and the health of its people has
been preserved. 1t has maintained
with foreign Governments the undis-
turbed relations of amity and peace.
For these manifestations of His favor
we owe to Him who holds our destiny
in His hands the tribute of our grateful
deyotions.
OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS
With the exception of correspond
ence, to which he says he shall hereaf-
ter refer, in relation to the proposed
Panama Canal, little has occurred wor-
thy of mention in the diplomatic rela-
tions of the United States with foreign
countries.
The Fortune Bay claims were paid by
the British Government, No new ques.
tions respecting the status of our natu-
rallied citizens in Germany have arisen
during the year, and causes of COM
plant, especially in Alsace and Lo-
raine, have practically ceased.
Our intercourse with Spain has been
friendly. An agreement concluded in
February last fixes term for the Ia
bors for the Spanish and American
Claims Commission.
1t is desirable that our cordial rela-
tions with Russia should be strength
ened by proper engagements, assuring
to peaceable Americans who visit the
Empire the consideration which is due
them as citizens of friendly State.
As is natural with contiguous States
having like institutions and like aims of
advancement and development, the
friendship of the United States and
Mexico has been constantly maintained.
The Government has lost ne occasion of
encouraging the Mexican Government
to beneficial realization of the mutual
advantages which will result from more
intimate commercial relations and from
the opening of the rich interior of Mex.
ico to railroad enterprise.
