A DIsAGREEABLE HUsBAND.

When Mrs. DIrAENS said that the gen

that they were hard people to live with, she
knew what she was talking about. She had
been there. So had Mrs. CARGYLE, and the
later volumes of CARLYLES biography by

her to spend her Christmas holiday

he layished upon a rich and noble lady who
invited him without his wife to spend bis
vacations at her fine establishment. These

selfshness and egotism inflicted upon her

SORES of the Bible the doctrines of the
Old and New Testament, or ANYTHING that
priest or clergyman tells YOU. Others de
clare that belief in the existence OF God is
superstition, because there is no proof Of it,
aud you must believe it 'on ether than
rational grounds.
Even if these definitions are true, these
are rot the only kind Of superstitions. Hard
headed materialists who believe only what
their senses teach them, will accept rapping
on tables, ringing of bells, twanging Of gui-
tars, the vision ora hand or face in
dark closet, as conclusive evidence Of the
existence Of an other world. Orthodox
people, on the other hand, who believe in
another world and do not believe in spirit

A MISUSE OF TERMS

The haste Of campaign breeds innuuler-
able false reasonings, mulhtudes OF new
phrases and general disregard OF logical
conclusions. White becomes black and
color blindness seems universal. Editors at
other times severe in the choice of language,
painfully exact in argument and clear in
discernment, apparently forget their powers
throw aside the customs and habits of years
and Join nadly with the maddest of the
rartizan throngs that rush eagerly forward
rot only willing but seemingly studious in
deyising all sorts Of unfair, fraudulent
and despicable means to trip

DDS JAMES G. BLAINE has been improperly
classej, to some extent at least. In gen
ersl way his specie has been determined
and he is known to belong to the family
fraud Of the genus monopoly; but his exact
standing in this family has been incor.
rectly fixed. Papers usually reliable, gen.
orally accurate, as a rule careful in deduc-
tons and safe in stating premises, have
labeled this man of men in the political
museum as slave Of monopolists. Ger
tsinly there can be nothing farther from
fact than this conclusion. What lament,
able ignorance of truth What shameful
negligence in searching the records. Even
a casual reader of the history of Mr.. BLAINE
should have been able even without
learned assistance to assign him his proper
place, and to give the most convincing
proofs for such action. Do his transactions
with Fisher and Mulligan, his relations with
Gould, Field and others OF ike ilk, his
manipulation OF Little Rock bonds and the
too numerous other SpeculstiOns and peCu-
lations with which he is accused, stamp him
as the slave of monopolists? Granted that
the gentleman from Maine generally comes
out ahead in his financial affairs; granted
that, if his style is somewhat robust, his
methods are antipOdal to delicacy and his
touch unduly tenacious has he then the more
figured as slave than lid Noah when he ran
the ark, or Alexander when be ruled the
world? Nay, verify; the political scientists
are wrong. 1t IS not as the slave, but a.

Politics and Business,

Dental election is really an unmitigated

unemployed laborer, provided he has vote
to exchange for the good things capital
has deprived him Of and is now willing to
share with him on condition that he will
cast that vote to give capital longer lease
of power to deprive him of the equitable
share Of the fruits of his labor. On the
whole, therefore, we can afford the Interrupt

is different kind Of danger. There is no

Of its honor and integrity. They are led
