Husbands and Wives.
New York Sun.


 A man is born bachelor, but wo- men are intended to be wives"
 It was a wife from whom came this convincing sphorism. The profanity of the remark plunged every one into silence. Thus encouraged, she went on:
 "Now, I'll prove 1t to you. A man will leave his wife alarming & sock by the fire and with merry heart go of with a lot of men to eat, smoke, drink and play billiards and come home at ! 3cbcdy knows what hour SeeY If a woman tried to initiate him on her own ground in half an hour she would be engulfed in remorse and swim home in her own tears"
 "3ravo! I feel as if I was on a yacht deck in gale" exclaimed the party of the other pat. "Now, look here A man marries. He stays home five evenings in week and & woman thinks nothing of it. But on the sixth evening, when he promises to go of 1 with soh.o n.on, all :.; once she feels dreadfully neglected. Of course, l don't mean my wife, who is the most generous minded of women."
 This he repeated twice, to mako sure that it was heard by that person drumming on the window pane.
 "Is 1t reasonable to ask you 10 ex- pect that man will give up men whom he has known and loved for twenty years for woman he has known only two years, or perhaps only six months. Nor can man take his wife on such expeditions. It wouldn't be the same thing at all.
 "And besides" he continued, warmed by his own eloquence, "no man can afford to give up the compan- ionship of men from business point of view. I've no money to squander, you well know. Yet, in the last two weeks Pve spent fifty dollars in eating and drinking with men. Now, l re- gard that fifty dollars as an invest ment which expect will yet bring me five hundred dollars. But you can't get woman to take that point of view. She secs only i;s agreeable aspect, which she doesn't share"
 He glanced cautiously around and then proceeded
 "I say to my man, We might AS we'll talk this over good dinner and get some fun out of it anyway IL isn't bribe. It only gives me bet ter chance to unfold my plans and to know my man. Then after dinner we smoke, play pool, or go to the thea Ire. The man or men know Pm not going to press the thing or force them to commit themselves. The matter Is discussed, then dropped, and we pro- ceed as If 1t had been our only object to amusc ourselves. You can see for yourself that this sociability and con vitality among men alone, which is what women object to, is really apart of an agreeable part of commercial life"
 "Don't you think SO ingenious n statement might do good If more widely circulated" asked the third person, silent listener.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

Newspaper men throughout the en- tire country will be interested in the following from the New York Jour ndlist:
 Nr. Alan FoTmaa, editor of TAe Joandltst. For several months past it has been my desire to end that ac- tive newspaper routine which began in Philadelphia during the summer of 1856. Hereafter only editorial writing, literary specislties and book work will claim my attention. Quit ting the well-tilled field of metropol- itan journalism, leave its arduous requirements, its Vaccinations and its conquests to younger lsborors.
 My association with the paper, which for two years you and I have seduously nurtured, ceases May |. Since we united our efforts, The JowWdlist has won an exceptional popularity. It now circulates among the brainy men snd women ot all English-speaking countries, and 1t has become most valuable and infiuen- tial newspaper for newspaper makers. We have every good reason to be proud of its success.
 Wishing you, dear Forman, long continuance of health and prosperity, I tender my resignation Gas The Joundltst's managing editoD with heart born regret.
 Yours sincerely,
 HENRY CLAY LUKENS.

With this issue of The Jomnaltst, Mir. Henry Clay Lukens' connection with it, as managing editor, termi- mates. Ever-increasing demands upon his facile pen, pressure of profitable special and book work, combined to force from him the decision which he so gracefully and enthusiastically announces in another column. Mir. Lukens was among the earliest con- tributors to and staunchest friends of The Journalist. From his inex haust- ible treasury of autographs, portraits, information and expedients he and hurriedly threw together our first Christmas issue. Since that time his experience, skill and taste have found expression in every issue-regular and special. During the two years he sat at the managers desk, The .jout9dltst has achieved many triumphs and the copy hook has never been hungry. Kindly, generous and helpful, his sunny humor has frightened many a dull hour, and his quick wit has smoothed many an apparently rough place in The J0u,ndiisfs pathway. He goes now to less exacting labor and larger rewards. May good luck go with him.
 From Monday, April 90th, Mr. c. c. Starkweather will be associated with me in the edititorial conduct of The Journdlist. Mir. Starkwcather has long been known to the readers of this paper through his all too infre- quent contributions to its columns, and I count myself fortunate in hav- ing secured the cooperation of his keen judgment, ripe experience and graceful pen. There will be no change in the policy, forms or aims of the pa per. MT. Starkweather and I will only labor to the extent of our abili- ties to make it better, more useful and more valuable to live newspaper men.

SEND THE BEST.

In sending representatives to the
National Convention at Chicago,
care should be taken to send the
best possible timber, and send it
unpledged. The fact that this or
that man Is "very anxious to 90"
should cut no figure whatever.
Nothing but capacity and expert
ence should weigh in such case.
Geography should count for moth
sng. The fact that a certain county
has given big Republican major
ity or is anxious to be represented
by such and such a person amounts
to nothing whatever.
There are two men who must be
sent by all means-John p. Jones
and w. NJ. Stewart.
They are men OF national reputa-
tions. and will be personally ac-
quainted with the leaders from diff
ferent States.
The men will make Nevada's in
fiuencc felt. The delegation should
be given instructions as to who the
psople want, but they should be
unpledged, as a pledged delegation
is practically a cypher after a day
of balloting. They must be ready
to make combinations for the bene-
fit of their own State, and be free
handed and foot-loose to do it eff
fectually. Send the best men you
have, and allow them to be cat lib
erty" if their favorite stands no
chance.

A female convict who escaped from the
Anamosa Ia penitentiary, a few days ago.
was recaptured couple Of days afterward,
of which the Clinton County Advertiser
says: "She was dressed in male attire and
wore fictitious dude mustache, and had
her peculiar walk not attracted the attention
of close observers would to-day be a free
woman. She was serving an eighteen
year sentence for murder committed in
Cedar Rapids five years ago. and will prob
ably remain within the walls the remainder
OF her time. A walk to attractively display
the modern hustle is liable to attract atten-
ton when dressed in pants. 1t was only
that which lead to her recapture."

Helpful Thoughts.

Help1ul IhOuSnts.
Wherever God has given us a promise, He
is able to keep it to the letter.
Our Father has not left us to reach up to
Him, but has in mercy bowed the heavens
and come down to us.
''SOme days must be dark and dreary;"
but no day need be wholly So, upon which
shines the light of Gods love.
God is very tender with His children. If
they meet with Encouragement in one d.
rectOn, He is sure to send them comfort
from another.
God is love; God is light; love and light
have undertaken to fill the whole earth with
beauty and splendOr.
Suffering is human. Conquering is d.
vine. But to conquer by suffering makes
weak humanity GOdlike.
How often we look upon God as our last
and feeblest resource! We 60 to Him be-
cause we have nowhere else to 20. And
then we learn that the storms of life have
driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the
desired haven.
Be undetermined! Thy heart alone,
And not anothers thought OF thee.
Must ever thy true honor be.

The man who makes the loudest profess
siOns of friendship is not apt to be the truest
friend. There is great deal OF gush that
passes for friendship and that is perhaps
why some men deal in it. The man of
deeds rather than the man of words is the
one to trust-even if he seems to carry a
cold exterior. Still water runs deepest

Capt. J. A. Reed. ex-warden of the

by shooting, at his residence in Minneapo-

conscious and in somewhat improved con-
dition Monday evening, though still in igno-
rance of the cause of his illness, he labor
ing under the deluson that he had suffered
sunstrOke. He is supposed to have COM
mitted the deed in fit of temporary insan-
ity, for which no apparent cause is assigned.
Grave doubts are expressed as to his ulti-
mate recovery.
