Men come home utterly discouraged:
heir best efforts have failed; seIf-csteem

axtinguished. What does a woman do
Under such circumstances? Just what
she ought to do. She revives his waning
manhood by praise, She shows him
every particle of her own loving recog-
milton of all there is in him. She who
knows him best of any, whose love has
never admitted the existence of his
faults, tells him in her own way how
rood and how truly great he is. He may
lie neither good nor great, except as her
lnve and confidence endow him with
GOODNESS and greatness, but the endow-
lent is genuine; the man arouses to find
aimself the possessor Of gifts he hardly
imagined, and with newborn strength,
-oes to work in way that conquers oh
stacles, and makes his life a success.
Gloomy indeed must the household be

To break the force of the denuncia-
tion of skating rinks as detrimental to
morals by the clergy'nen, the rink
owners of Chicago, have formed an as
sociation and adopted a code of morals
to be enforced in all the rinks. The
new rules provide that no person shall
approach Il woman on the floor of a
rink except when she needs assistance
in case of accident, unless proper in
PRODUCTION shall have taken place.
Any person violating this rule is to be
expelled and not allowed to skate in
any rink of the association. Tests of
speed of over ten miles or of endur-
ance of over three hours are prohibited.
A committee of censors is to govern all
questions of morality in the rinks and
has power to forbid entertainments,

A novel case which involves the value
of a lady's natural bangs was settled
recently at Pittsburg. In one of the
recent natural gas explosions young
lady was hurled into the street. The
only damage sustained was the loss of
her bangs, which were blown off close
to the scalp as clean as if cut by the
clippers. She demanded of the Con-
solidated Gas Companies damages
amounting to $100. This the company
declined to pay, and the lady retained
counsel with view of instituting suit.
The attorney, however, first called on
the company's officials. Negotiations
were entered into for an amicable set
tlement of the difficulty, which cul-
minated in the corporation granting
the young lady S25 and attorneys
fees

1t cannot be denied that it would be
for Mr.. Cleveland's benefit to cultivate
Mr.. Blaine's acquaintance. Acquaint-
ance with the ablest man in American
politics and the most brilliant and fasci-
mating man in American society will do
Mr. Cleveland no harm, nor would it
be any the worse for his administration,
while it certainly would be of benefit
to the nation if he should seek his coun.
sells and follow them. 1t would do him
good to associate occasionally with the
foremost American of his time, how
ever much the partisans may fear the
influence of his magnetism upon him.
More than this, every time he sees Mr..
Blaine he will see the man who was
really elected, but counted out, and
thus can afford to take advice from
him Chicago Tribune.

oftravel to the White House had ceased,
white haired, white bearded gentle
man, in close-buttoned overcoat, who
walked with a springy step, and carried
furled umbrella, stepped on the White
House portico. The door was opened
by the polite attendant, who gazed in
astonishment for a second, and then
exclaimed, "Mr. Blaine!" Mr.. Blaine
it was. He had come by appointment
to pay his respects to President Cleve-
land. The attendants all along the line
bowed and smiled and nodded to one
another Mr.. Blaine stopped at the
head of the stairs to remove his over
coat, and then passed in the Cabinet
room, where Colonel Lamont met him
and escorted him to the library, where
Mr.. Cleveland was awaiting him. The
greeting between Mr. Cleveland and
his guest was very cordial, and after a
few minutes pleasant chat Mr.. Blaine
shook the President s hand warmly and
retired.

Stories about the finding of buried
treasures have been very numerous of
late, and the following, from the Rome
(Ga) Courier, is given for what it is
worth: I'VE were informed, Friday,
that Mr.. John Byrd, in his gardening
explorations at the old Attaway place,
ON Bridge Street, now owned by Mrs.
Shropshire, had dug up pot contain
ing a lot of gold coins. We dug for
the root of the rumor, but could only
ascertain the following facts from Uncle
Joe Wardlaw, to wit: 4 know that
John Byrd has unearthed a pot OF
money. He dug it several days ago. !
tried to learn from him how much there
was in the pot, but he was non-com
initial, and would only say that the
find was not less than $12, 900 and was
all of it in solid gold currency. l
believe myself that the find was much
larger than $4,000, but Byrd will not
say how much There were many thou
sand dollars of good money buried in
this section of Georgia during the war,
and it would not be at all strange if Mr.
Byrd had stumbled on at least one sec
ton of it,"

WHEREAS, The Grand Sire of the

proclamation for the sixty-sixth ami

to Almighty God for His manifold bles-
sings bestowed upon the membership

Now, therefore, l, William IT, Brewer,
Grand Master of the l. o. o. F. of the

ly request the subordinate lodges of
this Jurisdiction to respect and carry
out the recommendation of the Grand
Sire, by such observance of the day as
may seem meet and proper to them;
and, inasmuch as certain lodges may
desire to appear in regalia upon said
anniversary, l do hereby grant permis-

The fire at the State House. in Ire

The fire at the State House, in Tren-
ton, is likely to bring about extensive
improvements to the Capitol building,
and may after all prove to be blessing
in disguise. The burned portion had
outlived its usefulness, and there has
long been demand for its enlargement
and improvement. Now the fire has
made the way clear, and the Legisla-
ture proposes to authorize the Commits
sioners in charge of the rebuilding, to
see that such a structure is erected as
will be a credit to the people, and meet
the demands of the State for half
century to come.

THE PEACH PROSPECT.

A special from Dover, Del, says:
"The Delaware Senatorial contest at
tracted to Dover some of the most
prominent peach growers of the State
They were almost unanimous in saying
that there will be an average crop this
year if there are no severe late frosts.
Last year 1861 car loads, each car con-
tanning about $50 baskets, were ship
ped to the North and West. In addi-
ton to the peaches sent away, large
quantities were canned in the State
The largest yearly shipment since 1867
was in 1875, when the total was 9,072.
The aggregate number of car loads
from 1866 to 1874 is 5S.063. Included
in this estimate are the peaches which
are shipped over the branch roads of
the Pennsylvania system running
through Kent, Queen Annes, Caroline,
Talbot, Dorchester and other counties
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
The bulk of the peaches grown in
Maryland are shipped to Baltimore by
steamboats,, but the inland orchards
contribute a large share to the rail
road traffic. The crop in Maryland, as
far as heard from, is in as good condi-
ton as that of Delaware.

A Trenton correspondent of the New
York Times says the Democrats are
dissatisfied with their representatives
for not opposing the joint meeting bills
in the Legislature more violently, and
also says they are much disgusted with
President Schenck's attitude, having
hoped for more from him. The Presi-
dent of the Senate is quoted as saying:
when it comes to severing my party
ties to serve them they are asking more
than l had any idea of giving or they
had any reason to expect l made no
agreement to keep out of the Republi
can caucusses or to vote against politi-
cal bills. The Democrats may have
inferred from the general independence
of my attitude on public questions,
and from my promise to remain inde-
pendent, that l would prevent the pas
sage of political bills, but they inferred
too much. l am not responsible for
their differences"

DEBATE IN THE SENATE.

One of the best speeches made in the
Senate this session was made by Sena-
tor Nichols, of Cumberland county, on
the bill to provide for the election
hereafter of State Prison supervisor
in joint meeting. Senator Carpenter,
of Hunterdon, attacked the bill and
designated the Republican majority,
which proposed to pass it, as moribund
and outrageous in it's partisanship.
Senator Nichols took up the cudgels
in defence of the Republicans, and
handled the Democracy and the Gov
ernor without gloves. He said that
the Senator from Hunterdon county
had certainly lost his equilibrium
when he so fiercely assaulted the Re
publican party, and declared that it
was not only notoriously corrupt, but
shamefully partisan He (Nichols)
desired the Senator to understand that
the Republican party had a record
more glorious than that of any other
political party which had ever existed
in this country. Did the Senator for
get the splendid history of the Repub-
lican party during the quarter of a
century which it controlled the Gov
ernment To that great political
organization the nation owed much,
when it was remembered that it sup
pressed the rebellion, emancipated the
slave and made him citizen; restored
the Union, resumed specie payments,
and did many other great and glorious
acts. 1t was a party to be proud of,
and one which was bound to live in
the future. AS to the partisan char
acter of the pending bill the Senator
of surety knew that the power of
appointment vested in the Governor
had been outrageously abused. The
rule with the executive appeared to be
that no one should be appointed to a
State Office unless he was a Democratic
Albeit man. Never before had New
Jersey a Governor so extreme in his
policy. 1t was time that the Legisla-
ture took from him the power which
he had so grossly abused. The bills
presented by the Republican majority
were proper and right. Their provi-
sions were such as would meet with
the approval of the people, because
through them both political parties
were allowed equal representation in
| the various State boards. The act con-
cerning the appointment of Supervisor
of the State Prison was the only one
of the series of measures which might
in the least be claimed as partisan. Its
passage was necessary, however, to
prevent the selection of mere politi-
clan to this important position, which
had under its control the supervision
of State Prison affairs. A Republican
in that office would do much good for
the State, besides he would prove USE
full as balance wheel to the present
management of the prison, which had
grown into ahuge Democratic machine.
| The bill was a good one, and it was
the duty of the Senate to pass it,

The special election in Illinois for
the election of an Assemblyman in
place of representative Logan, de-
ceased resulted in the election of
Spafford, the Republican candidate, by

Senator Nichols, in vigorous speech
last week, in favor of the bill providing
for the appointment of Prison SUI
pervisor, in joint meeting denied that
there would be any undue preponder-
ance of Republicans by the workings

he said, behind the bars made a Re
publican majority at the State Prison
an impossibility. Y. Tribune.
