WOMAN IN ADVERSELY. Women
should be moro trusted and confided in
as wives, mothers, and. sisters. They
have quick perception of right and
wrong, and without always knowing
why, read the present and future, read
characters and acts, designs and prob
abilities, where man sees no letter or
sign.
What else do we mean by the adage
mother wit, save that woman has a
quicker perception and reader inven-
ton than man? How often, when
man abandons the helm in despair,
woman seizes it, and carries the home
ship through the storm Man often
flies from home and family to svOid
impending poverty or ruin. Woman
seldom, if ever, forsook home thus.
Woman never eVaded mere temporal
calamity by suicide or desertiOn.
The proud banker, rather than live
to see his poverty gazetted, may blow
out his brains and leave wife and chill
dren to want, protectorless. Loving
woman would have counseled him to
accept poverty, and live to cherish his
family and retrieve his fortune.
Woman should be counseled and
cOnfided in. 1t is the beauty and
glory of her nature that it instinctively
grasps at and clings to the truth and
right.
Reason, mans greatest faculty, takes
time to hesitate before it decides; but
wOman's instinct never hesitates in its
decision, and is scarcely ever wrong
where it has even chances with reason.
Woman feels where man thinks, acts
where he deliberates, hopes where he
despairs, and triumphs where he fails,

How it is said to have Happened
with Gen. Hancock.

l was talking politics with a Senator
from the West this week, and, on men
tiOning General HancOck's name, he
told me a story of the gallant general
that is romantic enough to repeat.
Soon after his graduation from West
Point, when but little past his maiOri-
ty, he started for the West, in company
with a number of army men, to see the
country. They stopped at st. Louis,
and while there General Hancock met
his future wife. He was taking one of
his customary morning rides on horse
back in the most fashionable part of
the city when he caught sight of a
handsome young lady standing at a
window His heart was touched at
once-and for the first time-and,
without a thought of the impropriety
of his action, involuntarily he reigned
his charger and took off his hat. The
fair vision at the window waved
shapely white hand, blushed and drew
the curtain. This only increased the
young mans disease, and when he re-
turned to his hotel his absent-minded-
ness and evident abstraction provoked
comment on the part of his friends.
Try as he would the beautiful face at
the window haunted him still, and he
yielded to an irresistible impulse to re-
turn to the house where his fate resid-
ed, in hope of getting another wave of
the hand or a smile of encouragement
to loves young dream. As luck would
have it, fortune smiled on the young
man, and the lady was just leaving the
house, accompanied by Il tall and
elderly gentlemen, as he reached there.
She recOnized him at once, and rosy
bushes suffused her face as she enter
ed carriage in waiting and was driven
rapidly away. Young Hancock was
now more eager than ever, and, hail
ing passing cab, directed the driver to
follow the carriage cOntaing the beau
tiful unknown. Finally, her carriage
stopped, and she entered the house of
an old army friend of the ardent lover,
who followed close after and was ad-
mitted by the friend i'll person, To
him the smitten youth unbOsomed
himself, and an introduction followed
to Miss Mary Russell, daughter of
one of st. Louis wealthiest merchants.
The young lady seemed to have been
struck by the same dart that pierced
| her lovers heart, and cordial invita-
ton to call was extended to him. l
need say no more. The rest of the
/ story is simply the Oft-tOld tale, for in
six months Miss Mary Russell became
/ Mrs. Winfield Scott Hancock, and she
/ is held in the warmest esteem by all
/ those who know her many charming
and womaly qualities. - Washington

The Colored citizens Ratify.

The meeting Of colored citizens called at the
Michigan-street Baptist Church, last night to be
addressed by Senator Harrison and Hon. Stanton
]. Peelle, was called to order by DR. S. A. Ebert
and adjourned to meet in the same place on next
Thursday evening, when the speakers who were
to have addressed the meeting will be on hand
Notwithstanding the severe storm, nearly a
hundred persons were present, and it was re-
solved that an informal meeting should be held
Mr.. D. Mccoy was called to the chair, and
VIM. Franklin made an earnest and vigorous
speech Mr.. Franklin secuted the attempts Of
the Democratic party to capture the colored vote
and offered to donate good horse to any man
who would tell him of any good thing that par
ty had ever done for the colored man.
Allison Sweeny made brief speech, opening
with touching and impressive allusion to the
venerable speaker who preceded him. He char
acterized the Democratic party as having al
ways been the organized foe Of American liberty
and not to be trusted
The last speaker of the evening was Elder
Sweres who, taking the so-called eloquent speech
of orator Villas to the Democratic national con-
vention, commented upon its absurdities, and
turning his batteries Of humorous ridicule upon
it, exposed the hollow pretense that was hid
under its high-hown verbiage. He then made an
equally felcitous comment on the speech Of re-
former Goldman. He paid glowing and elo-
>queut tribute to Blaine and Logan and said that
in comparison with those glorious leaders, Cleye-

The wabash Evading the Pool.

For some days past heavy shipments of grain
have been made from Chicago eastward over the
Wabash roundabout route Investigation shows
that to do this business they have resorted to q
very ingenious method to evade the pool The
grain has been taken from Chicago to Forrest a
little burg ninety three miles in southwesterly

ferred to the main line and taken to Detroit--a
total Of over four hundred miles from Chicago

A DESTRUCTIVE WIND-sTORM.
Several Persons Injured BY Tree Crush
ing in Roof at Broad Ripple.

The rain-storm yesterday afternoon was ac-
companied by destructive wind north of the
city and much damage was done to trees, fences,
shrubbery and the growing crops In many
places the corn was not only blown down, but
the stalks were completely broken off. At
Broad Ripple several persons were hurt, but not
dangerously. Several private picnic parties
were in Hoffnan's grove, and sought refuge in
the dancing pavilion, rough wooden building,
during the storm About seventy-fve persons
we're in the Enclosure when a large oak tree which
stood near by, was twisted and broken about
ten feet above the ground, the main part of the
trunk and the branches falling directly across
the building. The roof was caved in and several
people caught under the falling timbers and
debris. Six were hurt more or less. three men
md three women, but 1t was found next to I'M
possible to ascertain their names and extent Of
their injuries last night Mrs. Jeremy who
lives on Morris street. had her spine hurt and a
young man named Adams, whose home is in the
southwestern part of the city, had his side and
shoulder hurt. The escape of the remainder
from death or dangerous injury was almost
miraculous.

The Grand trunk stin Hesitating.

The Grand Trunk and Lackawanna are said to
be still hesitating in the signing Of the new
trunk-line pool contract. Commenting on this dill
ly-dallying policy on the part of these roads,
the Boston Advertiser says the Grand
Trunk people know that they can cut
for some time before their competitors viii go
below them, and that the only way they can
draw traffic from regions equally or better ac
commodated by the other roads is to offer lower
rates. They have toyed with the promise of a
pool until half the summer business is over and
thus have kept the other roads from invading
their places Of resort with hostile armies Of
agents; and now that the vacation season of
farmers Is at hand, when low prices must be made
to secure much through travel, and when grain
shippers are looking about for bargains in
freights, perhaps the company is going to stand
in its own light for the benefit of lines which
have superior natural advantages, and perhaps
it isn't. A short time will tell.

A wrong impression Regarding the Move

As the impression is abroad that the Corbin
syndicate is taking in the several divisions of the
T., Z. & st. L. narrow gauge road with the in
tention Of making them part Of the l., B. &
W. system, it is proper to state that there is Of
fetal authority for saying such is not the case
but like the Ohio Southern road, they are to be
operated separately, but will contribute as far as
it is practical to the business of the l. b. & w
proper, as does the Ohio Southern. At least
this is true as far as the eastern divisions of the
T., c. q St L. system is concerned. Should
the Corbin syndicate secure the st. Louis divis-
ion of the narrow gauge from Veedersburg to St
Louis, it will probably be made standard gauge,
and will be part of what is now known as the
st. Louis division Of the L, B. & w.
