While was away..I learned secret that
! man intending marriage, and that would
have been without price to me, if I had
known it thirty years ago-before knew
the estimable woman, who, in company,
private treats me as if l was hardly six
teenth. I learned it at sea. Just before we
sailed out of port one afternoon, a couple
came down to the wharf, which consisted of
very large and fne-l looking youngwoman,
and very small young man, who carried
himself with much meekness. Why aoi1 lit
little men marry big women? They look
ed like they had not been long married.
When they came on board she was the
Captain and he ranked about cock. When
they got off, forty eight hours after, he
ranked as Admiral, and she ranked about
a hand before the mast. When they got
on board, she called him William, and be
called her "Maria dear" When they got
off she called him Willie dear, and he
called her plain Maria. When they came to
supper she was the man of the two-two
hours after, she was laid out on the deck
benches, vowing every minute that she
would die. From that moment he COM
menced advancing in rank. He was not
subject to seasickness, and walked the
plunging deck like bantam rooster. In a
firm voice he ordered her to her state
room where she remained till the evening
of the next day. She came out a changed
woman. She evidently viewed Willie dear
as superior being, whom the sea itself,
couldn't conquer, and whose attentions to
her in her sickness-which l am bound to
add were kind and unremitting
such as such beings bestow in charity on
mortals made of humber stuff. She came
out of her state room the next evening as
limp as a rag, and clinging to the little
bantam as II letting would be sure death.
Seasickness had completely changed the
manner and carriage of the two people,
could not help wondering if the bantam
saw hiD advantage as saw it, and wheth-
or now that he had her down would he
keep her DOWN. 1t struck me while look
ing at. them, that every man, sure of his
sea legs, should early in his married lif Q,
take his wife to sea. 1t may give him
life time Of peaceful rest.

of the passengers appeared In state of

he appeared still worse, and as he did not

Now, that am in bad humor, let me
touch on another grievance. [ declare to
you that something ought to be done about
tomato cans-a law forbidding women to
have or handle them. There now; don't
fly off and say I am attacking the gentler
: sex. I am not; l am attacking the com.
bination of the two. Take the gentler sex
but when they go in partnership with to-
mato cans they are-well, won't say
anything rash. There is one thing, thank
heaven; can keep my temper under all
circumstances Sitting in the cars the
other day. engaged IN wasting whole
day of my fourteen to go something over a
hundred miles. the new Floral Transfer
Express came in sight. 1t was a lady of
middle age-I won't say how old, Though
1 wouldn't have forgiven her if sshA had
been sixteen. Her arms were full Of tomato
cans, containing slips of flowers, and it
took the conductor and porter both. to
boost her up the car steps-for like all
women, she would rather be run over than
to let go her bundles. When she took her
seat, the cans were distributed on all the
seats around her, two-thirds of them exu-
ding the water with which the flowers had
been sprinkled while she was waiting at
the station. I got two or three OF
them as retribution, presume, for my
having kept her from falling over the
stove. and for my duplicity in saying that
they wouldn't be in the way in the slight
est. If live, shall hereafter be more
truthful man. was kept busy just four
hours balancing them so as to keep them
from being Jared from the seat by the mo
tion of the car. But one .raYllluminated the
scene, and that was, when returning from
the water cooler she sat down on little
nest of four of them. Itl00ked like q judg-
ment, and I believe it was. I don't mind
the deadly traps women set on window
lodges. in the shape of tomato cans filled
with flowers to slip down on mems heads,
but do insist that railroad authorities
should not allow them to bring canned
flower gardens into the cars with them,
and in that have the support OF every
free born American citizen.

parallel to it. The idea of making par
titan machine of the Asylum, in which
appointments and removals are subject to
the veto of the Chairman of the Demo,
cratic party is too demoralizing to the
discipline to be entertained for moment.
and would not have been entertained, we
presume, by many of the signers, had they
had time to think over it. 1t would en-
tireIy demoralize the institution and break
up the controlof it's officers. and we appre-
bend that Chairman would have to be a
good distance on his way to a lunatic asy-
lum himself, before he would attempt to
interfere with the sworn officers of an
institution controlled by Directors
appointed by the Board of Public
Works. But fortunately the possibility
Of such interference is out of the question
as long as such man as Col. Archer An
derson is acting for Mr.. Barbour. and it
need not be here discussed.
A wilder and still more absurd plan, we
are informed, has been agitated by some
OF the gentlemen who are taking an ex-
cited interest in the matter, which is to
offset the change made at the Asylum by
getting the City Council to cut off the
heads of the police. We should be sorry
to believe that these uttsrances were made
in any other than unthinking haste. The
man who hopes so in deliberate earnest
must greatly underrate the character of
the gentlemen who compose our City
Council. Responsible men of standing in a
community, entrusted by the people with
the power to legislate for the interest OF
the city, cannot be gotten to misuse that
power and pervert that trust by using it to
crafty the spites and revenges Of others
