A HINT FOR HUSBANDS.

The Boston Transcript says: Mr.
W. is quite an elderly, wealthy gen
tleman, having for his second wife
lady many years his junior and
much petted. Any expressed wish
of hers he has at once gratifed, il
money could be the medium. One
evening she remarked in her charm.
ing way, 81 saw to-day at-store
a lovely camel's hair shawl that
want ever 50 much. Would you
bring home tomorrow a check ? Its
only 81 800" eyes, DEAR" he re-
piled, 81 will bring the money" and
the next evening, with the assistance
of his porter, he did bring home and
placed on the parlor table fifteen
hundred silver dollars. At the sight
of this pile Of metal, weighing nearly
a hundred pounds, the wife exclaim-
ed, "Whatare you going to do with all
that money! "Why! love, it's the
moneyyou wanted for the new shawl. .
Good gracious Does it take all
that to make $500? Why.I had
no idea it meant so much. Twill do
without the shawl and put it all in
the savings bank, if you will let me. "
And she did so, and has since added
several sums to the deposit. Mr.. W.
athrms, on his honor, that since that
event she has not asked for a quarter
part so much money as before the in
cident. The above is not a fancy
sketch. # all really happened.

HOW IT TASTED.

She was maid of many charms,
AS lovely as the rose;
She held her poodle in her arms
And fondly kissed her nose.
Her lover lying at her feet,
Was enviOus as could be,
And said, oh, give a kiss as sweet
As that, my love, to me
She stopped and kissed him on the lips,
Then sprang he to his feet;
She, blushing to her finger tips,
Inquired, well, was It sweet %
He wiped his mouth, picked up his cane
And then prepared to jog
Remarking, Sweet ? well, to be plain
1t kind o tastes of dog.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Hartford Courant.

A remarkable case of mistaken
identity was developed in recent trial
at Ficthburg, Mass. Adam w.
Smith was accused of obtaining ST.
800 by forged note. Ten eminent
ly respectable witnesses fully identi-
fied the accused as the man who had
passed the note, and two experts of
handwriting were positive that the
Endorsement on the note was his writ
ing. On the other hand twenty re-
spectacle citizens of Duchess coun-
ty, N. T., mostly farmers came for
ward with the evidence that at the
time Of the swindle in Worcester. the
defendant Adams was peacefully en-
gagged in driving drove of cattle
through the lower part Of Duchess
county lie was traced day after
day, and his lodging place for every
night was proven The alibi was so
complete that an acquttal was rem
dered in spite of evidence that seem
ed to be overwhelming.

canoes down Rock river, through south

the Mississippi river, making the trip in
fifteen days. They made stops at all the
good fishing points, but found the stream

but catfish. They were cordially received

principal towns. They padded their Ca
noes during the day and slept in them at
night on shore covered with water proof

have been built, and there they had to

Bellies of the Bat ant Ball,

A letter came to Manager Harper, of
Harper's theatre, this morning asking for
the address of some one in Rock Island
who would be willing to assume the re
sponsibility of fixing u date and place of
playing, for visit to Rock Island of two
teams of the only female base ballists in
the world. The two clubs are travelling
through the country and are giving inter
esting and skillful games wherever they
play. A good opportunity is herein af-
forded our local sports to get up novel
attraction and one that would undoubt-
eddy pay. These queens of the emerald
diamond played at the New Orleans
worlds fair and are said to be the only
clubs in the world who ever travelled
three thousand miles in sixty days and
played fifty games in as many cities en-
route. The club travels in special car
chartered from the Chicago 81 Northwes-
tern Railway company. They carry a
canvass fence ten feet high and eight
hundred feet square, and covered grand
stand with capacity of one thousand
people. Any one wishing to move in the
matter of securing visit from these far
base ballists may obtain the conditions
upon which they will come, and other
particulars by applying to the Harper
house.
