from Suakim to stir up the tribes in the Vi

to being employed in Christian expedition.
General Wood declares that the signatures

Cor ON THE WRONG TROUSERS A
Baltimore dispatch to the Chicago Inter.
Ocean says: A scandal, In which some
very unusual incidents appear, was brought
to light to day by the filing of an applica-
tion for divorce by Henry Clark, con-
ductor in the employ of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Clark left his residence
Wednesday evening last, after telling his
wife that he was going to leave that night
for Martinsburg, w. Va. He did not go,
however, but returned home at late hour
and retired to bed, his wife having already
done so. Soon afterward Mrs. Clark com.
planned of severe cramps, and begged her
husband to get up and go 20 the drug store
for medicine He hastily drew on q pair
of trousers and hurried upon the errand.
His surprise may be imagined when on
looking down while waiting for the medi-
cine be found that the trousers he had on
were several inches too short for him. He
felt something bulky in one of the pockets,
and placing his hand therein he drew forth
a roll of bills amounting to $3.50. He then
concluded that his presence at home was
far more urgent than his wifes necessity
for the medicine, and hastened there, but
the man who had invaded his home, and
with whom he had unwittingly changed
clothing, had by this time beaten hasty
retreat. The trousers which the latter
took away belonged to the husband, and
contained only few dollars. As the wife
was not able to explain matters with satis-
faction the husband ordered her to leave
the house, with which request she COM
Piled The tell-tale trousers and contents
were sent to the wife of the gay Lothario,
who has grown children.

HIGH LICENSE IN New YoRR.-The
New York Times, in an editorial upon this
subject, says; The truth is that high IL
cense law in the cities of this Stats is
mainly needed for the very purpose of
driving out of business a large number of
the men now engaged in the sale of liquor.
Ii nine -tenths of the men who are now en-
ploYed in it in this city as dealers or as
bar-tenders were compelled to betake
themselves to some other calling, nobody
doubts that they themselves would be con-
verted into more useful citizens, and that
the social and the political atmosphere
would be very greatly purified. 1t is mOn-
strous to pretend that cne.tenth of the
places at which liquor can be had in this
city would not be ample 20 answer any le-
gitimate or any harmless demand for liquor.
1t is monstrous to pretead that the State
may not regulate, to any point to which
public opinion will sustain it, a business in
which the proportion of positive utility is
infnitesimal, and the proportion OF posi-
tive mischief enormous The question
should be settled on grounds of public
policy, without reference to the interests
of the individuals engaged in the trattae-
interests which ass contemplate In COM
parison with the public interest.
