Credit Due their Wives,

A witty Washington cores
pondent writes: All, me if
some secrets were told, the sue.
cess of many a man in this
town would be found to hinge
upon the industry and artfulnsss
of his wife. Senator Logan is
not the only Senator who owes
his election to his wife, nor is
Gen. Hazen the only brigadier
who shines in her radiance.
And so the ladies are not selfish
in the work they do. l only
wonder that in the midst Of it
all they manage to look always
SO we'll and are SO bright and
charming. Accused of being
inferior to their husbands, they
are in the main fully equal. They
really run the present admins
tration, and have . finger in
every little pie that comes out
of the heated furnace on Capt.
toll Hill.

A Country to DO Proud Of.

!, The Cincinnati Times Star
gets OF the following which
contains more truth than fiction.
America suffers from fires
and floods and the failure of
crops, just as much as do many
of the countries of Europe, but
we never go begging across the
waters, and if we did we would
probably get little for our pains.
Whenever affection falls upon
the people of even the richest
and most powerful nations of
the old world, however, their
drst impulse is to appeal to
America for aid, and they
always getit. Our country is not
only q refuge for the oppres-
sed in all lands-it is the aims.
giving Of the world, and we are
Had Of it.

In the proper column we an.
nounce Dan. w. Billiard, ESQ.,,
q candidate for Chancery Clerk
of lafayette, subject to the &C.
ton Of the Democratic party.
He was raised in this county,
is we'll known to many of its
voters, and enters the field with
q clean record. He recently
had the misfortune to get his
left hand seriously injured by
his mill, and would now like to
serve the people as their Chan
Gerry Clerk. Our columns are
open to the public, and SO far
as the EAGLE is concerned, all
candidates shall have q fair
chance.

No North /! No South |

The following clipped from
the editorial columns of the In
dustrial South, published al
Richmond, Va, has the right
ring. The sentiments breathed
herein should DO widely laugh,
and inculcated into the breast
of every true American citizen
Life is too short, and the re.
sources and opportunities OF
this country are too gerat for
the American people to be di.
vlded among themselves. All
Northern men should be proud
of everything Southern that
reflects credit upon tho country;
and all Southern men should en-.
terrain q similar feeling toward
the North. tits a crying shame
to this country and this people
that the Southern States of this
Union should ever be so mis-
represented through the North.
ern press as to induce fair.mind.
ed men, not only in the North
but in foreign lands, to look
upon the people of the South
almost as q race of barbarians /;
and it should be equally q shame
to the civilization of the age if
there should ever be found any
Southern man of intelligence
ready to revile the Northern
people rs an unworthy race.
The truth Is, that people and
this people are the same people,
with equal virtues and equal
vices between them in proper
ton to their numbers. It is all
provincial and narrow.minded-
ness for any American citizen
of either section to assume that
the personal attributes of any
man characterize him as q
Northern man because he was
born in the South. And, to say
nothing of high patriotic con.
alterations, the great business
interests of this country, both
North and South, demand an
elevation of American senti.
ment to the unqualified recogni.
ton of one country and one PEG.
pie, everywhere, within the
boundaries of the United States.

PostoM CO Inspector.

Serious Charges.

A Washington dispatch says
Additional charges against Su.
pervising Architect Hill have
been filed at the treasury de-
partment and are now in the
handle of Secretary Folger.
Their nature is not known to
the public, but it is said on good
authority that they relate to
contracts and expenditures for
the government building at
Philadelphia. This matter is
said to be assuming a serious
shape, and the charges recently
iled are not in the nature of a
repetition of the old stories.

the objections. First, andsa If
est of all in my estimation,

thing people depend on tank
water for washing purposes.
soap will curdle in we'll water
worse than buttermilk, and that
in the tanks is q little hard.
The tanks dry up in summer and
the women are supposed to be
in q bad hum0r until the fall
rains fill them up. This is an
objection that can and will be
remedied as. the country grows
older. Cattle have to 70 from

There is little dive water in the
county the Cibola and San An
tonic rivers are all, there are
some dry gullies that they call
creeks, or in the language ofan
old lady that came to this
county from the east, .they have
things here that they call cricks
that haint got . drop of water
in them" Another objection

the nearest railroad, this objec-
ton is more imaginary than real,
beside there is a probability Of
two roads being built through
this county, both of which will
cross the Cibola at or near

will then become q place Of con-

hope to be able at some time in
The future to give q short sketch

Il Hero o,sla Ne,O Plan.

Dion Boucicault will bring out a new
play in Boston, with somewhat novel and
risky principal character. This is poor,
half-witted Irish boy, with merely the in
stincts of an animal. He is like dog in
many respects, but is, of course, attached
to the heroine, whom he follows about alb
jectly. When she is in sorrow he is fran
tic with grief, and when she is happy he
is wild with delight. When she tells him to
bite he does it, and when she orders him
to lie down he grovels at her feet. He is
actuated by passion of which he does not
know the meaning, and which she does
not discover until the last. "There are
many such boys in Ireland" says Mr..
Boucicault, "and this one is an entirely
natural character. created him with a
view to the future of my son, who will
hereafter play the part; but for the pres
emit I shall assume it."

sit was sciatica."
''Was the cure complete!"
''There is not trace of it left"
An Irishwoman whose abrupt manner
and quaint humor afforded some amuse
ment, said that she had been an invalid fol
years. The physicians had not been able
to give her relief, and her house was full
of medicine bottles. She had been cured
by faith, and did not intend hereafter to
have either bottles of,medicine or physi-
clans.
'sFor years have been afflicted with q
serious spinal disease" said a young WON
an. "To-day am in perfect health, and
can sit here on these hard chairs without
the least discomfort whatever. couldn't

ment in her eyesight and of her arm being
relieved of pain. Her eyes had become
SO much better, she averred, that she
astonished her family by sitting
down at her sewing at night, as
she had not done for years before. Her
husband, she added, was skeptical. Never
theless she knew that she was better, and
she intended to persevere until she had
fully recovered.
A dignifed young preacher from Brook
Ign made short address, in which he said
that most diseases we're in his opinion
nothing more or less than demonlacal
possession. When the devil was driven
out by the touch of the Holy Ghost, health
returned to the body. A physician from
Boston, who is also preacher, spoke
of similar cures he wrought in that city.
At the conclusion of the services the
pastor invited all persons who desired to
pray for healing for themselves or others
to go in an adjoining room for special
service. About third of the congregation
crowded into the room.
