"A hen-pecked husband who had re
quently found the door locked when he
came home late at night and q little too
full to find the heyhole, II he had been
allowed TO carry key; said that he
sometimes kept himself awake by rae
ing up the long gravel walk and throw
ing himself with full force against the
huge oak doors. in vain efforts to break
them in. But the doors never yielded,
and he always retired from the contest
q sorer but soberer man. On one even
ing he disclosed the canker in his heart
by coniidentially asking one of his COM
panions what he did when he went
home little late, and trihe unsteady,
if his wife scolded and fretted all the re-
mainder of the night and refused to let
him sleep. 'Dop" replied the other,
"why, / just kick her out, that's ALL"
There was q CLEAN in the eye of the
sad man when this information was re-
ceived, but nothing more was said about
the matter. The rest of the party MOTTO
ed, however, that the sadness seemed to
suddenly disappear from his manner,
and an expression of hope and even of
confidence took its place. A few more
bottles were opened and then the party
adjourned. 1t was late, and as most of
them lived in the hotel, they retired to
their rooms, but not all of them to rest.
Within half an hour the sad man reach
ed his room, where his wife, like Tam
OShanter's, had long been:
Gatherin' her broos like gatherin' storm,
Nursin' her wrath to keep Ii warm.
There was sound of revelry by night
from that direction. First murmur of
angry, then of furious, words. Then u
grating sound, rs If resolute man,
with his back against the wall, was try
ing to force some Objectionable object
away from him. Then noise as of
athletes engaged in desperate contest; q
creaking of timbers, as of ship in all the
fury of storm. and then crash, fol-
lowed by half-suppressed scream. a
few half-uttered curses and furious
rip@i0g of bells that woke the echoes in
thr ice 1"low. Soon bell boys came
tlit,a through the dimly-lighted halls,
and, l..ter, the entire night force of port
ers appeared, Juggling up the stairs with
new bedsteads and down with the re-
mains of an old one, while the awaken
ed neighbors, through half-opened doors,
caught glimpses of white-robed figures
silently but sullenly experimenting the
removal of the wreck and the rearrangc-
ment of the furniture, Evidently the
experts remedy wouldn't work in this
case. A woman had been found who
wouldn't be kicked out of bed.

cork tree, grown from an acorn receiv-

1t is not effected by our winters, and is

long persistent and much talked of eff
forts of the Picayune to connect him
with the John McEnery contract, and
is given in full in this weeks issue. A
careful perusal Of the Governors letters
must convince even his enemies, of his
complete vindication. The press
throughout the State that endorsed 80
eagerly the Picayune's TRADE, must
feel cheap indeed, as the large and
respectable number, such asthe Shreve-
Times, Standard, Capitolian-Advocate
and others, fully indorse the Governors
irrefutable answer.
The motive of the Picayune in this
attack, which is two fold, was apparent
from its incipiency. Recognizing >. -.
McEnery Esq, as the most powerful
opponent of its ssRing" of disgruntled
and discarded political hacks: that he
was most likely to be rewarded by the
Democratic suffragans of this State with
the nomination next year, it sought
| thus early to connect him with con-
tract which, without explanation,
seemed to present "fund OF fraud"
The other horn of the motive Is we'll
known to all those Democrats who
have taken active part In politicai
affairs since 1868. 1t will be re-
membered that from 1872 to 1876, a
hcontest ragged in this State between the
Democratic party under the leadership
of JOHN MCENERY on one side, and
the Republicans with w. p. KELLOGG
on the other. The Picayune was tht
formers steadfast supporter, until some
, time during the early months OF 1878
when it suddenly, and to the consterna
ton of the Democratic party, DIES
serted McEnery, and advised an acqui
essence in the Kellogg "usurpation." A
the time the causes for this shameless
treachery were not known, but on th'
