Fol, Better or TOR Worse.

The following is from an opinion rem
dered by the Supreme Court OF Iowa :
"Shs chose drunkard for husband,
and she ought to perform the duties OF
drunkard'ss wife. She does mot show
that her personal safety or even her
we'll being requires her to leave him
She doubtless would have lived more
comfortably in the society of sober
man, hut she ought to have considered,
and doubtless did consider, disco nforts
OF drunken husband, when she mar
ried the defendant But she urges he
promised reformation before marriage,
His failure to keep his promise did no,
justify her desertine him. All the world
knows that such promises made by q
drunken man are always broken. In a
few words, as she knowingly married o
drunknrd. she mast be content to be q
drunkard's wife,"

CHICAGO, June 3.-At 1924 o'clock
P NJ. the Chair announced that the hour
having arrived for the meeting of the
eighth Republican Convention, the Con-
veution would nov be opened by prayer
by the Rev Frank Bristol, OF Chicago.
Prayer was then offered by Mr. Bris-
tol. The call for the Convention was
then read by Hon. John A. Martin. Sec.
retary of the National Committee Chair.
man Sabin on behalf of the Republican
Committee called the Convention to or.
der Ia its name.
Sabin's Speech.
He said Chicago was known as the
Convention City. 1t was the field of
Republican victory. Here it was that
the immortal patriot, Abraham Lincoln,
was chosen. Here it nominated that
honored soldier, that great Statesman,
that representative citizen, James A. Gar
field. Cheers Every action of party
on this historic ground had been follow
ed by victory: Having succeeded against
it's opponents on all former occasions
it Was about to put its house 10 order for
another conflict. As a consequence o.
the vote adopted by the last Convention,
the present body was largely made mp OF
men instructed by their own constitu-
ents, and it was therefore to be hoped
that the voice OF the people would be
largely present in its deliberations APP
plause He closed with an expression
OF hope for victory and proposed for
temporary Chairman Hon Powell Clay.

,Whep tue chairman had concluded
and mentioned the name OF Clayton, Mr..
q. C. Lodge Of Massachusetts, rose and
proposed the name of John R. Lynch,
Of Mississippi. He said they recog-
nized the claims of the South and there
fore he had proposed this name as one
acceptable to the Republican Convention.
Silas B. Dutchner, oi New York, sec.
onded the nomination of Lynch. At
this point . great sensation was created
by speech from w. W. Morrow, OF
California. He said that harmony was
essential. Thst peace could not be Sc.
cured by raising fac,ional issues, 1t had
been the practice for forty years for the
National Committee to select the tempo
rary chairman of the Convention and q
departure could not now be made from
the custom without creating bitterness
of feeling. There were several delegates
on their feet to reply but the chairman
recognized
George VIM. Curtis,
OF New York The announcement was
greeted with widest applause. Mr.
Curtis said this was the supreme council
Of the party. Representatives we're met
to open the campaign of 1884. 1t had
been unquestionably customary for the
National Committee to name the tempo
rary Chairman and for the Convention
to ratify il. But il the party as here

"Young Man, Unite tho Strings"
Said one OF the most successful mer.
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, to lad who
was opening 9 parcel. "Y oung man, un.
tie the strings; do not cut them"
1t was the frat remark that he had
made to new employe. 1t was the
first lesson the lad bad to learu, aud it
involved the principles OF success or
failure 10 his business career. Pointing
to well-dreseed man behind the coun-
ter, he said:
"There Is man who always whips
out bis scissors and cuts the strings Of
the packages in three or four places. He
Is good salesman, but be will never be
any thing more. presume he lives
from hand to mouth. and is mere or less
insdebt. The trouble with him is that
he was never taught to save.
II told the hoy just now to unite the
strings, not so much for the value Of the

is to be saved and nothing wasted II

The Case.

:
The coutt and jary, as we'll as the spec.
tators, generally enjoy the scene when a
alwyer, In an attempt to badger or brow
beat witness, comes off second best in
the encounter. A contemporary recalls
an amusing instance Of this sort which
happened a few years ago in an Albany
courtroom. The plaintiff, who was q
lady, was called to testify. She got on
very we'll, and made favorable impres.
sion on the jury under the guidance OF
her counsel. Hon. Lyman Tremaine. until
the opposing counsel, Hon. Henry Smith.
subjected her 10 sharp cross.examins-
ton. This so-confused her that she be.
came faint and fell to the floor in q
swoon. OF course this excited general
sympathy in the audience, and Mr..
Smith saw that his case looked badly
An expedient suggested itself BY which
to make the swooning appear like q piece
OF stage mockery, and thus destroy sym.
pathy for her. The lady's face In swoon-
ing had turned purple red, and this fact
suggested the, new line OF attack. The
next witness swas middle-aged lady.
The counsel asked, -

time ago, madam :"
Eyes, sir ~.
"People generally turn pale when they
faint, do they not2"
Great sensation in court and evident
confusion OF witness. But in moment

"About a yeat ago."

Mr.. F. w. Matthias, ex-collectnr o
thu city of st. Louis, is a far-seeing
man. He is one of the leading Ger.
man politicians of his state. We are
permitted to publish letter sent by
him to Mr.. Grover Cleveland While
still mayor of Buffalo, containing a
most remarkable prophecy. The let
ter has never been published before
this, and is as follows:
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 81, 1882. Hon. Grover
Sir: The democrats everywhere throughout
this blessed country of ours rejoice in your
nomination as governor of New York ard
hail your nomination as Il harbingcr of Il
new and better era in politics.
You will be elected governor of the empire
state and taking the chair of state for the
public good you will see to it that dissen-
sions in the old party among democrats in
New York will be healed, and you will also
see to it that no more political iobberies
will be tolerated.
People well recoliect your inaugural adj
dress when elected mayor of the good city of
Buffalo, and the principles you therein adj
vocated stirred the minds of democrats as Il
refreshing breeze.
Ere your term as governor has come to :.
close the national democracy will call on you
and make YOU their standard bearer in 1854
and successfully place you in the pre>iden-
tial chair, which, b. accident, is now oecu-
pied bv Chester Arthur.
With my highest regards and my wishes
for YOU individually, | remain Yours very
respectfully, r. W. MATTHIAS.
Every prediction in this letter has
heen verified. Cleveland was elected
governor, and he has been elected
president. It is not less true hat lie
has healed dissensions In the demo-
cratic party, and no political jobheries
have been tolerated. Mr.. Matthias
