WIVES, TAKE WARNING.

Many a woman has lost her husbands
love and all influence over him by
trying t. rule him, and by showing
him, at some incautiOus moment, that
she was endeavoring to do SO. A man
whois worth anything never allows
himself to be commanded or managed,
and we might az well make up our
minds to that at once.
1t is only a contemplate little sneak
who will calmly sit down with ''just
as you please my DEAR" where he has
an opinion of his own.
And when fine man gives a. woman
her own way, it is simply because
il is his wish to please her and make
her happy.
If he is really manly, he has no des
ire to have everything as he likes. He
prefers that the household affairs shall
be his wife's business. He belives her
Judgment excellent in many things,
as it often is. Sometimes many of mis-
ideas will cha ge as he lives with a
good woman; his moral tone will grow
higher his ideas more bright. She will
get some of his strength; he some of
her sweetness; but domineering is a
great mistake, and when, with the
idea that his alteration Of her charms
is so great that nothing can weaken
them, the new-made wife forbi6s her
husband his accustomed cigar or pipe,
commands him not to smoke in the
which is las as well as hers ;
desires him never to invite that disagree
able young man again or perhaps orders
his mustashe of, she has only herself
to thank if he AIDS bowl to his pipe
and smokes il i'm bar-reom instead OF
inviting his friend home goes out with
him aud stays until he cultivates full
and bristly beard. Therefore, let wives
take warming, play second fiddle meek
ly, and get their power by degrees and
by gentle means, using smiles instead
Of frowns, and remembering thefable of
the wind, the sun, and the traveller
cloak, which he only wrapped closer
about him when the first blew fierce
and cold and bitter, but him. So majestic
man, sure that he is doing it if his own
accord, drops the mantle OF authority
from his shoulders to please a gentle
brightfaced little woman who never
ventures to domineer, while he wraps
himself, gloomily in its folds when an
amazon commands. Not only is it pleas
ATTEST, my dear, not to try to rule, but
it is much the best policy.

"Iam not guilty ofwilful murder"
SAYS Patrick O'Donnell, the man
who killed Jam Carey the Irish
informer. "The killing was done
in selfdefence. Carey drew revol-
yer from his right hand pocket and
/ snatched it and shot him. This
statement made by the prisoner be-
fore the magistrate at Cape Town
throws new light on a homicide
which has been universally regar-
ded as the deliberate act ofan Irish
avenger. Ifit be true, the killing
Of James Carey loses much of its
dreadful significance. Instead of
the EARNED hand ofvengeance stretch
ed half way round the globe to
grasp and slay the rhosen victim, we
find nothing but dispute, precipit-
ated perhaps by the natural appre-
tensions of the fugitive, and result
ting in his death merely because he
made use Of n deadly weapon to
protect himself against one whom
he supposed to be foe against in
pursuit. Thousands of persons all
over the world will rejoice to see
Patrick O'Donnells defence made
good upon the trial.

The gale rose from eastward ats a. M,

from the schoeners' decks, and the re-
mainder collapsed in the sea.

from the old landmarks on the tariff

fiercely made war on this doctrine.
To tell these Golden Club theorists
that this was the distinct doctrine, time

son, Jefferson. Jackson and Polk, only
enrages them. Like most Of political
adventurers, they have n0 re-pecg for
anybody who does not agree with them

views which Washington. Madison, JEFF

stood firmly by the old landmarks and

The sentiment in favor of the "old
ticket" is, says the New York
World, a "barren ideality." This
sentiment takes the shape Of assert
thatth old ticketwas defeated by
a fraud. This is true. Then it asserts
that the fraud can be rebuked only
by nominating the victims Of that
fraud. This Is n fallacy. The real
victims Of the fraud were not the
two eminent citizens who were
cheated out Of their offices, but the
millions of honest Democratic voters
who were cheated out of their votes.
