I asked Mr.. Parnell in the most d.

duce it's man. They will seize upon
the opportunity afforded by the trial to

BARNES GREELEY, Horace Greeley's
only brother, lives on a rundown farm
five miles west Of Cory, Pa. He is 80
years old and has resided in his pres
ent home over sixty years. It was from
this same farm that Horace Greeley
went out to learn the printers trade.
Barnes Greeley is known throughout
Warren and Erie counties on account
Of his family and his many e~ccentrici-
ties, and because Of his never-failing
good nature, his abundant and un-
affected warm-heartedness, and his
keen though somewhat erratic intelli-
gence. The old farmer is tall and
spare, but Of powerful build, and is
noted for his slovenly dress and his
antipathv for water, both internally
and externally. He says that water
taken into the system in immoderate
quantities is fully as injurious as
whisky, which he does not use at all.
In his slovenliness Of attire may doubt
less be found q family characteristic
which, in Horace Greedy, has been too
often attributed by his critics to a weak
affectation for the purpose OF attract
ing public attention.

Consult Your Wife,

A writer on the business interests of
the family cites a conversation between
two business men concerning some
business proposition, when n Of them
remarked:
81 must consult my wife before I de-
eide" "Why. is she boss?" mo, and
neither am l." was the calm reply.
1--WE are a well matched team, and we
don't drive tandem. Ny wife is rs
much interested in the welfare of our
family rs l am, and she has a right to
have q voice in the investment of our
little means"
If all men, and especially men of
moderate incomes and possessions,
would adopt this plan we would have
fewer poor people and q less number
of business failures. As a rule a fru-
gal wife does as much by saving Us the
husband does by earning; the interests
of the family are, or should be, mutual,
and it is but simple justice that the
wife be consulted in any business en-
terprise involving their income or
their savings. And further, in nine
cases ont OF ten, the wife has more
business sagacity than the husband
thinks deeper and sees farther ahead.

A Legal Absurdity.

One of the uncertainties about the
law of marriage and divorce in the
United States is illustrated by n recent
decision of the Tennessee supreme
court.
A man obtained a divorce from his
wife. T~hereupon she and another man
crossed over into Alabama. were mar
ried there and returned to Tennessee
to live.
A statute of the latter state prohibits
O divorced defendant from remarrving.
Under this statute both of the parties
to the Alabama marriage We're indicted,
tried and convicted for living in Grim
inal relations. The case was appealed
to the supreme court of Tennessee,
where it was contended that there was
no legal bar to the in Ala
bama, and hence that the marriage be-
ing valid in that state must he valid in
Tennessee. The supreme court re-
fuses to recognize the validity Of the
marriage and holds the parties guilty
under the laws of Tennessee. The
Tennessee statute prohibiting a Ill
yorced defendant from marrying again
is just like the m We have in this
state. But the court Of appeals at AL
bany has held that if a person laboring
under the prohibition goes to New
Jersey or Connecticut to get married
and ONE back here to live the mar
riage is valid in this state.
The question involved is precisely
the same in Tennessee and in New
York. Yet in n state the marriage
is pronounced lawful and in the other
criminal.-NeD York Herald.

disqualified by CENTURIES Of slavery for
independent life Now in the state of

Of land. In the last ten years they
have accumulated $12, OOO, 600 in saw

valued at 800. 00O, 900. Their labor
raised two-thinls of the cotton product.
More than half of the mechanics in the
southern states are negroes. And

present rate of progress it will not be
long till the percentage of illiterate
whites will he greater in the south than
the percentage Of illiterate blacks.
