What sMife, Mems.

SAYS Ruskin: |" What do YOU
think the beautiful word wife
comes from2 1t is the great word
in which the, English and Latin
languages conquered the French and
Greek. hop. the French will some
day get word for it instead of that
femme. But what do you think it
comes from? The great value Of the
Saxon words is that they mean some-'
thing. Wife means weaver. You
must either be housewives or house,
moths, remember that. In the deep
sense you must either weave mems
fortunes and embroider them, or feed
upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever q true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may be
over her head, the glow worm in the
nights cold grass may be the fire al
her feet, but home is where she is,
and for noble woman it stretches fal
around her, better than houses ceilet
with cedar or painted with vermiliol
shedding its quiet light for thos'
who else are homeless. This, / be
lieve, is the woman's true place ant
power."

elephant hunt in Troy was not intend
cd for publication by the person whom
it most closely affected. In the middle
of the night he heard the noise Of
tramping In his garden, and sent IN or
der to his gardener to drive out the
cows, but the noise instead of ceasing
became Immediately more formidable,
and acquired variety by the interming-
ling OF human screams. Determined
to superintend the election in person,
Mr.. Jones (for that was not his aame)
repaired to the scene of operations in
his dresEEown and slippers justin time
to hear his man call from the top of q
tree: MAY the Lord have mercy on
US; it's the divil himself that's in the
garden. He's coming again, horns
and all" At that instant gigantic
body loomed through the darkness, and
Mr.. Jones fled up the tree with an
agility which would have astonished a

The AstOF Family

A short time ago John tCOb Astor
sailed for Europe, from New York.
His health is feeble and he very ju-
diciously placed his immense estate
three years ago in the hands of his son
William Waldorf AS or. who manages
it in a very successful manner, was
in the Astor Library lately, and saw
Waldorf examining some files of old
newspapers with close application.
He had learned that these are among
the most valuable contents of the libra
ry, and personally speaking can find
but little OF equal interest with the re-
cJrd of the past afforded by journalism
The old Astor land Office has given place
to block of stores fronting on Broad
way and renting for $4,000 a year.
When the original John Jacob built
this Office Prince street was in the sub
urbs, and here Fitz Greene Halleck had
desk, while the leading clerk was j.
B. Taylor, and life long servant of the
old capitalist.
The same improvement removes the

Adiournment Of COngress,

A despatch to the Philadelphia
Ledger says; The first session Of the
Forty.seven:h Congress adjourned sine
die at three o'clock this afternoon. No
legislative business OF importance was
done by either branch during the day.
The Senate spent most of the time in
executive session, and the House was
in session only about one hour, most Of
the time from Gouvening to adjourn
ment having been spent in recess. All
the enrolled bills were laid before the
President in good season, and were re.
turned with his signature some time
before adjournment. The President,
accompanied by several mcmbers of
the Cabinet, reached the Capital short.
ly after one O'Clock, and remained at
the Senate wing until the time fixed for
dissolution Of the two Houses. There
was no rush or hurry in winding up
the business of the session, nor was the
Capitol thrOnged by the large crowds
that are usual upon the closing hours.
II is worthy OF notice that neither
House authorized rowing commissions
under plea of making special investi-
cations during the recess. Except the
Special Committee Of nine members of
the House TO examine into the works
now in progress for the improvement of
the Mississippi river, no authority was
given for the usual summer jauntS of
Congressmen at the public expense. AS
soon as the session was officially
declared at an end, the Senators and
members hurried away from the CAPT
tol, ard the evening trains carried most
of them from the city. In thirty min
utes after the adjournment, the cham
bers of both Houses were closed, and
The Capitol was deserted. While a
large number of bills were passed dur.
the session just closed, four times the
amount stiirmatively acted upon re-
main on the calendars, and without the
introduction of another Till, the De-
cember session will begin with more
business prepared for immediate con-
sideration than can be disposed of in
the time allotted for the second session.
Considerable comment was occasioned
by the fact that the House adjourned
without passing resolution OF thanks
to Speaker Keifer. Resolutions OF this
character are usual at the close of each
session of the House, but have been
occasionally omitted at sessions other
than the last OF a Congress through in
advertency or hurry, and the excite
ment incident TO the last hours. To-
day, however, the omission TO pass the
resolution was deliberate, and no man
on the Democratic side could be induced
to present it, although Mr.. Robeson ap-
pealed to several to do 81. The feeling
against such a movement Was 30 pro-
nOuuced that Mr.. Robesou was inform
ed that should resolution of thanks be
offered the point of no quorum would be
raised.

from the doors and windows and filled
their houses, and on wash days they

In the steam car the other day, was a
bright little four-year-old lady. An
elderly gentleman, a few seats back,
every time the little one would turn
around would shake his finger or duck
his head, or "cluck," or do some one Of
the score OF things that are supposed to
be especially pleasing to babies. The

with vacant stare, until, apparently

How q Quaker Defend ded HImS eli
From New York Times.

A new method of dealing with sere.
naders was lately invented by Mr.. Fox,
Of Stillbrook, Iowa, which reflects the
highest credit upon the gentleman's in.
genuity, and which promises to be a
precedent of inestimable value. Mr..
Fox, when nearly sixty-1our years old,
married for the first time about week
ago. He has resided in Stillbrook for
many years, and his reputation as a
man of shrewdness and integrity has
never been sullied. Nevertheless, Mr..
Fox has hever been regarded as liber-
al man. He does not approve of the
use of ardent spirits As beverage, and
he does not smoke, Hence he has new
or been known to invite his fellow cit
zens to drink or take cigar, and has
thus won reputation for miserly hab.
its which not even the fact that he gives
literally to all charities and never turns
a beggar away hungry from his door
cannot alter. Finally, Mr.. Fox is a
Quaker, aud firm believer in the doc.
trine of non. resistance.
When such man ventuTed to take o
wife, the propriety of giving him SER
enade was instantly perceived by the
young men of Stillbrook. "The old man
won't stand nothing" remarked the
leader of the men, because he's too
mean, and he cant fight because he's a
Quaker. Boys, we'll just go down and
serenade him all night and see how he
likes it.
Now Mr.. Fox, although q non-re-
sistant, had quietly made up his mind
that he would not suffer from any pro.
longed serenade. He was addicted to
the cultivation of bees, and he had on
his premises twelve large beehives,
each one of which contained a thous
and or so OF the largest and f1ercest
variety of bee. On the evening of the
expected serenade, Mr.. Fox convey
ed the twelve beehives to the roof of his
front piazza, and placed Them near the
edge thereof. he then provided him
self with pole long enough to reach
from his front bedroom window to the
beehives, and with a sweet and placid
expression OF countenanCe sat down to
await the serenaders.
In due time they arri we'd in force
There were at least fifty of them, and
grouping themselves in the front yard
close to the house, they began their up
roar. Mr.. Fox listened silently for ten
or fifteen minutes, and then appeared
at the window, and, with gesture, in
duced the musicians to pause. He told
them that they must leave his prem
ises, and tnat if they refused they
would probably be sorry. With scorn-
full laughter the young men declined to
depart, and, drowning Mr.. Fox's voice
with ironical cheers, they RESUMED their
serenade. 1t was then that Mr.. Fox
deity upset his twelve beehives with
the aid Of his pole, and, closing his
windows proceeded to go peacefully to
bed, undismayed by the wild yells
which suddenly arose from his serena
ders, and without seeking to know why
they fled headlong from his front yard.
"There wasn't one of them bees that
would let up on man under three
miles," remarked Mr.. Fox next day.
