Choosing a Wife.

A young man was counting two young
ladies at one time, and loved them both
SO well that he was in considerable
quandary which one to marry. He was
certain that he could get either one, for
they both encouraged his attentions.
He finally concluded to try little STRAIT
agcm. So one day he mounted his
horse, rode out to see his fair friends,
and hitched his horse at the gate of the
first one, Going into The house in pre-
tended haste. he told the girl his horse
was sick and asked if she could give him
any bread scrapings out of the tray, as
that was good remedy. 80 la yes,
lots OF en-" was the answer, and going
to the kitchen, she soon returned with a
painful of dried dough. He took them
out and disposed of them in some way,
concluding that Il girl raised to such
waste in the kitchen would be neither q
neat nor economical wife. The next
girl had the same l;,his answer was,
mo, sir, / always wash ont my tray
when finish making up the dough. "
He very wisely chose the latter girl for
Il wife. A straw shows which way the

Unknown, 124. Total, 467.
The increase of 20l over Inst year can be
almost completely accounted for in the
murders committed by thieves and high
waymen and by thugs and hoodlums while
under the effect of whisky.
Meanwhile the hangman has not been
idle, for during the last twelve months he
has strung up l2l criminals, whereas last
year he hanged but 90. OF these 12l
criminals AZ were hanged in tho northern
states and 70 in the southern, the most
distinguished of the list being Charles J I.

The south AS will be observed, has been
very busy at the galosS, though scarcely
fairin its discrimination, for out Of the 70

that il is not difficult to hang negroes in
that section.

TIE CRIME OF THE YEAR.
Chicago Tribune.

The year now closing has literally been
red with crime in this country. Never be-
tore has there been such disregard for hui
man life, so many persons killed, so many
hanged, or so many lynched. 1t is no
ticeabe also that crime is ON the increase.
During the past week more persons have
died from personal violence than dur
ing any four previous weeks OF the year,
A wave OF crime seems To be sweeping
over the country, and no small portion of
its influence is fell in the insecurity of life
and property in our city, where footpads
and sluggers pursue their violent calling
with almost perfect impunity How much
of this is due to the inefticacy OF punish
mcnt is shown in the fearful record of
6fly.four murders committed in Chicago
alone. or these tifty-four murdcrers only
one was banged, the majority of the
others being sent to the penitentary for
short terms.
The total number Of murders committed
in the United States during the year re-
ported by telegraph to the Tribune--a it
must be remembered that the liet is by no
means complete--is ,467, an excess of 2Ol
over the list reported for 1881. Tho cau-
ses NAV be classified "A follows:
Intoxication, 145; Jealousy, 1893; Com
mittod in selt.defense, 81; Quarres, 554;
Insanity, 81; Intanticide, 81; Patricide, Il
Matricide, 8; Fratricide, 4; In resisting
arrest, AZ; by highwaymen, IA; Highway
