excitement. He was 1ourishing stick. and
striking with it. The blows could be pI.in.

The next day the town rang with tho dis.

After due dcliberation they called meeting

and his wifs. He TO answer to a charge of
unminlsteriul conduct, and she to testify in
the caso. They came, greatly puzzled and
surprised. Tho case was gravely stated by
tho senior elder, when the culprit and wit

the session looked, they explained. Tho

who loved everybody, and especially her
husband, did not love rats. But the house
having been vacant for sometime, tho rats
had taken possession. When they went to
thoir chamber, huge rodent ran under the

caught up stick and tried to kill the in

the rat the lady screamed again. The scene
must have been an amusing one to their

TuERE are those who would wish to
see not only English habits and custom
in social life, but also methods OF gov
eminent and systems Of taxation and
revenue introduced in this country. A
gentleman given to statistics gives the
following as samples Of the manner in
which John Bull ''raises the wind": 1t
costs 3 man who takes out patent
nearly 81 900 to secure his claim and
protect his rights. Property left to the
children of the deceased parts with one
per cent to the government. If he
leaves his accumulation to his brothers
or sisters, there is q tax of three per
cent. If it goes to his uncles or his auntS
the government takes five per cent. Of
the gross amount; iftO his great uncles
oraunts, the government fines the estate
s per cent, and If go to any person
not within the degrees Of cOnssnguin-
ity above mentioned, then the govern
ment appropriates to itself one-tenth Of
the whole. To become barrister a

marry them. When she was brought
into the court to explain, she merely
indicated In the chosen language ofthe
untamed West that the young man
was nice to look at, but he made her
tired. He had nothing but his moustache
and necktie, and she was one Of the rare
girls who had found out this fact before
she had married herself to these things.
Whether the jury will award the
moustache and neektie any damages
has not yet been determined.
In cases like this girls would do them
selves more justice If they would get
tired sooner. The large majority OF
them don't find out how tired they are
till after marriage, and then the hus-
band whom they have not concerned
themselves very much to select cannot
be exchanged like the three-quarters
of yard OF ribbon which has cost
them weeks Of anxiety and painful
thought and care. The average girl
won't care to read this. She doesn't
want advice on the matter Of selecting
a husband, but when she is going TO
buy a new pair of stockings she WI
seek the wisdom and experience Of all
her acquaintance. Girls arethe prize
puzzles of this world.

GIRLS WHO GET TIRED.

Probably the average girl doesn't
know her own mind more than few
minutes at time, suggests heartless
contemporary. She Is forever wishing
something or another was something
else unil it was something else, aud
then she wishes it was still another
thing. When she goes shopping she
has the most dreadful time of it. She
is almost always certain to want to re-
turn whatever she gets and get some
thing else. When she does not do this
il IL because she has not on her shop
ping excursion been able to keep her
mind together long enough to buy any
thing of sufficient consequence to re-
turn.
The uncertainty, which ohsracterizss
heir shopping experience, however,
does not embarraSs them when it comes
TO selecting husband. 1t is easier for
most girls to pick out husband than
it is to match a ribbon, and some Of
them don't give as much consideration
snd thought to the one as to the other.
And yet it isn't very easy to exchange
q husband when one finds she has
made q mistake. Perhaps the girls are
not 80 much to blame. A sweet NOUS
tache and lovely neektie are not to
be resisted by everybody they are
well designed to capture the average
girl.
Bot while some girls change their
minds q little too late, there are those
Of quicker disposition. One Of these
latter has just come to the public atten-
ton in Illinois. She has been sued for
3 breach OF promise. She engaged
herself to q sweet mOustaehe and per-
fectly lovely necktie, but shortly dis
overed that she really didn't want TO

REFORn NERY POPULAR.

Members of Congress of both parties
talk admirably about what shOuld be
accomplished at the session which be-
gun last Monday. They ali assert q
willingness to undertake tariff revision,

Obstructionists may cast in the way.
Both of our Senators express
themselves as fayoring an immediate

ing taxation by recOnstructing the tariff
system. So strong protectionist as
Senator FRYE advises such action with
regard to the tariff as will meet public
expectations, and he likewise favers
reform of the civil service. Representa-
tive HEWITT speaks out in 4 manner
leaving no doubt Of his determination

ports to the Secretary of the Treasury
that a diminution Of internal revenue

advises the abolition Of the duty on
sugar, which would diminish the
Government revenue S45,0O0,0oO, and
bring down the price of sugar to the

REroRn II nuNIcIPAL POLITICS.

The time for our municipal election
draws near. And considerable interest
Is felt a. TO what will be the course Of
the two political parties in the coming
contest. Are we to have ring candi-
dates? Or, are We to have men selected
for their integrity, and keen perception
OF the city'S interest. Ii men are chosen
for past political services, if by reason
ofhaving managed a canvass unreward-
ed, they are to be rewarded by chance
to mismanage the finances OF the city,
If in other words the city's interest and
her offices are the treasury out of which
parties are to pay for many measure of
political iniquity, we are free to declare
for reform and advocate the election Of
a citizens ticket.
In many cities Of the union 50 cor

citizens TO organize independent

own ticket in the field. And in view of
Wheeling's past history, that course

thoughtful mind.

such movement that time is now.
grave questions brought before it. New
railroads seeking admission to the city,
new manufactures to be located pro-
badly in our midst, new measures OF
local self government and economical
administration, these, and many others,
are the questions this council will have
to deal with. To meet this emergency
the question for every voter should be
what are the olty's best aud surest inter

lated to give confidence, stimulate eXer-

counsel for the public good?
In those cities where a citizens ticket
Is nominated, the leading merchants
