UNLOVED WIVES.
A Little List Suggestive of Husbands
ofthe Selfish Varieties.

The Dean Swifts are not all dead yet,
as witness the following heartlessly
satirical compilation by waspish
writer on the San Francisco Wasp:
"Men cling to their wives for various
reasons:
Through mere love of comfort, as one
is attached to good kitchen utensil.
Through habit, as one likes the cozy
armchair he is always certain to find in
one place on coming home.
Through economy, you could not
hire q servant who would not cost you
twice as much and serve you only half
as well.
Through pride, just as one persists in
refusing to reconsider a foolish choice
one has made, lest people should talk
about it.
Through love of peace, a separation
would cause so much scandal and
create so much trouble.
Though fear of public opinion, what
would the neighbors say, and her
friends, and above all, her relatives.
Through imitation, everybody else
clings to his wife, so one must Go like
the balance.
Through instructive attachment to
the children one has had by her.
Through force of character, just as a
great soul bears a catastrophe without
q word of complaint.
Through virile dignity, one must re,
spect ones name, you know.
Through legal compulsion, there i.
no cause to offer for suit, there are no
facts to justify it.
Through philosophy, all women re-
semble each other.
Through spirit of penitence: 1T il
all my fault, all my fault, my mos
grievous fault
Through petty vanity, because every
one says: 'Oh, what splendid wo
mani tl3
Through remorse of conscience
Poor little woman, it is not her faul
| that I am tired of her. <
Through spite: $50 I have beer
caught in the trap! All, let others fal
into it also!
And now, We untrustworthy apostles
of domestic worship, that have sum
med up these variations of conjugal at
tachment, find me the household tina
i I have been looking for, 10, thes'
twenty years, in order that I may b.
able to add: Sometimes after a few
months of married life man still
clings to his wife through lowell I =.

The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy ofapplica-
tion, and one that will, by its own ac-
tion, reach all the remote sores and
liberated surfaces. The history of the
efforts to treat catarrh during the past
few years obliges us to admit that only
one remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely's Cream
Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact. The
more distressing symptoms quickly
yield to it, 2t

for what they considered a divine
lnterposition Of Providence.
The dispatcher had mentally resolved
that the operators at Grant and Bailey
should be discharged. When he learn
ed that the four section men had been
occupants of the engine he felt grateful
that the two operators had failed to re-
spond to his call. Had they been at
their desks the engine would have been
sent crashing into the river and four
human lives would have been unknow-
ingly sacrificed.
A combination of accidents had pre-
vented O dire calamity.

Collector. of Preciou. stones.

The gem collector is the latest. II
Is said that Henry Ward Beecher Is
responsible for the present taste for
collecting precious stones, and that
since his death many people, women
chiefly, have begun to buy up dia.
monds and colored stones, not for dis
play on their persons, but for "keeps.r
Such mania has its advantages. In
the first place the risk Of loss IS not as
great as with pictures or bric-a-brac,
and, in the next place, one little cha.
mois bag can transport thousands Of
dollars without any special anxiety or
the payment of express rates. A de-
licious handful of sparklers of every
hue was shown me the other day by o
lady who has ''gone in" for several
other collection crazes, but who as.
sured me none had given her so much
solid comfort as this.
~ never care to wear my diamonds
now," she said, poking at a beautiful
sapphire with the jewelers. nippers she
held in her fingers. "You can't see
yourself, you know, and so I'm going to
have them all taken from their set
tings, like those diamonds" and she
nipped up solitaire that had hidden
itself behind a pearl that looked like
a gold bead. "The colored stones are
all more or less rare in this batch; but
at home I've hundreds of queer, odd
things that only please the eye and
have no temptation for thieves. My
diamonds as l add to them, and this
ruby, which hasn't its match in this
country, never leave me. When my
friends want to humor me they ask tC
see the collection. Every one wishe:
to know how much it is worth, but
never tell. 1t is great fun collecting
precious stones. Much better than ole
furniture and pictures that can b.
burned up.-BoStofa Herald.

Catawampus Foraker, in the course
of some hog-wash which he emptied
upon the Dayton Convention, said:
"John Sherman is gentleman, and
that is more than can be said of every
man that has been President of the
United Statesv' We submit this re-
mark as the conclusive proof that Cat
awampus Foraker is not gentleman.
The applause that followed was char
acteristic of the Black Republican par
| ty. "Hit him again." yowled some
venomous cur, who needed hitting
himself. This was probably the dis
tInguished Thug, Lot Wright, as he
was present in the audience. 1t must
either have been he or delegate Tucker,

There is craze going the rounds which is
becoming very popular. 1t is the dime craze,
and while it seems rather peculiar, there is a
vein of good hard sense underlying it. The
craze is to keep every dime you get. Never
ask for dimes in change, but when they dc
come, never spend one. If you have only 6
dime in your pocket and want a cigar OF
lunch, or anything else, go without it rather
than spend the dime. At first it is hard, bu
after while it is said that real pleasure ii
taken in self denial. At the end of si1
months count your dimes, and you will bt
amazed at the sum you have saved. You viii
save about one tenth of your income.

Republican editors are raising quite a
cry because Democratic Congress did not
Immediately pass the bill refunding the di-
rect tax to the loyal States, and hold up their
bloody-shirt hands in horror. Will some of
these fellows rise to explain why the refund
ing of the direct tax to the loyal States was
not accomplished years ago, when the Re-
publican party had control of all the Depart
ments of the Federal Government? Why is
it that not until twenty three years after the
war leaders in that party in Congress are all
of a sudden moved with consuming anxiety
to refund this direct tax? Can the howlert
explain?

The printing press, says a contem-
porary with the wisdom of Solomon
and the courage of Richard Cceur de
Lion, has made Presidents, killed
poets, furnished bustles for beauties, and
polished genius with criticism. 1t has
made worlds get up for roll call in the
morning, given the pulpit lungs of iron
and voice of stream. 1t has curtailed
the power of kings, and graced the PAN
| try shelves; it has converted bankers
into paupers, and made lawyers of col
lege presidents; it has educated the
homeless, and robbed the philosopher
of his reason. 1t smiles and kicks and
cries and dies, but it can't be run to
suit everybody, and the editor's fool
who tries.

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. L. 8. Pickerell, of Middlebury, Ind,
had very narrow escape from the insane
asylum. For years she was subject to head
ache, palpitation, spinal pain, sleeplessness
and nervous prostration. For three years she
had commissions, often as many as fifty a
night. Able physicians failed to help her.
At last after taking that wonderful remedy,
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine for six weeks
she was entirely cured. 1t is recent discov-
cry by one of the greatest of living physi.
clans, and is working wonders. Trial bottle

A gypsy musician in Hungary, going
from one village to another through
the snow, was followed by a large wolf.
A happy thought struck the musician,
and he began to blow his instrument
with all the energy of despair. 1t had
immediate effect. His unwelcome at
tendant squatted down and howled
like dog at music. The gypsy reached
the next town uneaten.

New Cemetery at Dowllng.-The peo-
pie of Perrysburg township VIII be call
ed upon at the approaching election to
vote Yes or No regarding the purchase
of five acres of ground pettioned for
uponwhich to locate a new Cemetery at
Bowling. The old Tri-Township Gem
etery, owned by Webster, Middleton
and Perrysburg, is now filled up, and
the citizens of that section are greatly
in need of an extension of the old, or a
new Cemetery. The Trustees of the
three townships have held joint ses-
sion with view to agree upon
plans for extending the boundaries of
the old, but failing to agree upon such
plans the people of that vicinity petition
ed the Trustees of Perrysburg township
10 locate new Cemetery wholly in
Perrysburg twp, and ask that five acres
of ground be purchased for this purpose.
The Cemetery will be self-sustaining
soon after purchased and laid out.
The Trustees desired plain state
meat of matter made in The JOURNAL that
the voters might fully understand what
they are voting for on election day. 1t
would seem unjust to deprive any COM
munity OF a suitable place to give theb
dead Christian burial. The tickets
will have printed upon them For Gem
etery-Yes." For Cemetery-No" The
voter can erase ei her one which he
may choose, but should he leave both
upon the ticket it will count against To-
clting emetery under the provisions
of the election laws.
