Taught a Lesson,

A man with large business interests and a
handsome income married a lady, says the
Youths Companion, who, unaccustomed all
her previous life to the Injuries Of wealth, had
never formed any clear conception of the
worth and purchasing power of money. For
some months the indulgent husband gratified
his wifes every within.
One day the lady, to carry out some caprice,
asked for check for so large a sum that the
gentleman was disturbed. He saw that such
prodlgality, If persisted IN. meant ruin; but,
not wishing to grieve his wife By a downright
REFUSAL he determined to give her less on in
finance. He, therefore, smilinglY remarked
that he could not give her check as usual, but
would send up the money from his store.
About noon the promised money came, not in
crisp bills, as was expected but in silver dollars,
the sum total filing several specie bags
The wife was at first vexed. then amused. and
finally. as the afternoon wore away. became
deeply thoughtful When her husband came
home to supper she took him gently by the arm
and, and, leading him into the room where the
ponderous bags of specie were still standing.
said:
.'My dear, is this the money asked you for
this morning."
1T is, my love" was the reply.
And did You have 10 take this money all In
dollar by dollar, in the course OF your business?''
was the next question.
Yes, he answered. gently; it represents the
results of many weeks of hard labor"
We'll, then, she said, with tears in her eyes,
send a man to take it back to the bank in the
morning. l can't use SO much money for so
trivial purpose. didn't understand about it
before"

The Connecticut Contest.

There is no immediate prospect of
settlement Of the contest for the governor
ship of Connecticut. The republicans hav-
ing forced an adjournment OF the legislat-
ure until November. it is not probable that
plan for the settlement of the question
will ever be agreed upon by that body. All
the plans which were proposed were voted
down. The purpose of the republicans is to
defeat any plan which does not give the
governorship to their party. Buckley, who
is holding on to the Office on the ground
that the legislature has not reached a deci-
sion as to who was elected at the last cleo
ton, is about as INSCRIPTIONS a politician
as there is in the state Of Connecticut. He
has now a suit pending for salary. which
the dam 0cratic auditor refuses to pay, and
there is fair prospect that the court will
sustain the auditor for the reason that
Buckley is not the lawful governor.
Judge Morris, who was the democratic
candidate for governor, and who was fairly
elected, has announced his intention to be-
gin legal proceedings TO get possession of his
Office. He would have done 50 long ago had
he not expected that the legislature would
adopt some plan for the settlement of the
controversy. He thought there were enough
republicans in the House who would be will
ing to do what was fair and just before they
would consent to an adjournment he was
mistaken, however. The fact that the re-
turns gave him a majority of all the votes
cast and large majority over his repnbli-
can opponent was not taken into CO lsidera-
tion at all by the republicans. The only
thing that seemed to make an impression
upon them was the fact that they had pos
session Of the gubernatorial Office, and that,
if they held on to it, they might be able to
elect a republican at the next election.
II the republicans had been disposed to
act justly and fairly in the matter they
would have permitted Judge Morris, the
democratic candidate, to take the Office and
then to have questioned his right to it in
the courts
Judge Morris may succeed in the legal
proceedings which he purposes to institute.
The majority of the judges of the higher
courts are republicans, but there is pretty
general belief that they are thoroughly
honest men and will not let political consid-
erations bias their judgments.
In Connecticut a governor is elected
every year and the republicans may be able
to keep the case IL court until after the mex
election. In that event decision in Judg,
Morris favor would do him very little gooC
beyond emitting him to the salary for thu
term for which he was elected.

Signs of Spring.

From the washington cratic.
When the reeking piles of garbage breed the
pestilent bacillus;
When the ague microbe shakes US and the
typhus tries to kill us;
When the b.ac kbird tramp and wild goose from
the southland roappear,
And torric drinks Of winter leave the field to
lager beer
It is spring.
When house claiming makes a man become q
raving anarchist;
When the mil.iner's creations no true woman
can resist;
When the campaign lie is wakened from its
alternating rest
To prove that every candidate will serve the
people best
1t is spring.
When one prays for settled weather and is very
sure TO find
Within an hour any day rain, snow and hail
combined
With measles, mud, sspring fever" dudes,
handorgaDs, politicians,
And other vernal nuisa -ces OF all sorts ard con-
ditions-
1t is spring.
When the first warm breath OF summer resur-
reefs the sleeping leaves,
And the busy feathered masons chirp and twit-
ter meath the leaves,
When the air is incense laden and the groves
with music ring,
And when-surest sign of alive prose scrib-
blers try to sing
1t is spring.

dow a commerc.al Man was auieted.

How Commercial Man Was Quieted.
In one shape or another a somewhat similar
story has been wandering about for a genera
ton, says the Washington Star, but the real in
cident is not by any means well known. 1t was
IN the old days when travelling by stage colch
was more common than il is at present, that
the then archbishop OF Paris, MonSigneur Affre,
voyaginR TO near by parish, took place in a
dhlige nee, ia dompany with a number Of gentle
men OF different social stations Among the
group was young drummer for a business
house, who. like his successors Of later era,
was ever on the lookout for good story in his
Own mind and practical joke. The clerical
standing OF the archbishop did not exempt him
even from attempts at banter or witticisn, bu,
with the consideration he thought due to the
company present, he passed the youngsters
Efforts over with merely an indulgent smile.
waxing oolter by his apparent immunity, the
young traveller at last went beyond all bounds
OF proper respect.
Can you tell me, your grace" he asked
splritedly. "the difference between an arch
bishop aud an ass"
The reverend gentleman. with his customary
courtly manner and without the Least appear
ance OF offenSe or resentment, replied that he
could not.
Because" replied this clown in his own little
circus: the one bears a cross on his breast and
the other on his back"
The sally, such as il was, was met by the most
frigid silence by all the passengers save the
archbishop. who ilingly inquired:
Now, in my turn, would like you to tell me
the difference between commercial traveller
and an ASST
AS though it were mystery as deep as the
Phoenix the young wit pondered for some time
and then gave it up.
Il don't see it." he confessed.
Neither do l." replied the archbishop; there
isn't any,"
The smart drummer got of at the next
changing Of horses.

Not Anxious for War.

The Italian premier has not been anxious
at any time for war with this country.
That portion Of the Italian press which is
hostile to him made such an outc:y for
reparation that be ives forced to do s. me
thing to satisfy the sentiment which these
anti-administration papers aroused. He
did a little too much, however. and was
compelled to admit that he had been too
hasty aid too aggressive in his demands.
OF course such an ad mission deprived him
of any advantage which he may have had
in the controversy. Secretary Blaine is
virtually master Of the situation now, and
il be has the skill with which he is credited
he will not make any more blunders like the
one be committed when be called upon Gov.
Nichols for information Of the New Orleans
lyrchipg.
But when the Italian premier learns the
character Of those Of the lynched Italians
who, it is claimed, were Italian citizens, he
will hardly feel like demanding very
large indemnity for their families. Three
of the lynched men had not declared their
intention to become citizens nor had they
ever registered. They were G mitez, Mon
a,terio and Trains. 1t is said. however.
that proof is obtainaUle that Traina
voted in st. Charles parish at the
last election. There were only two, how
ever, for whose unlawful killing there is
any ground for demanding Indemnity, and
they are Comitez and Monasterio. A num-
Der OF those who were lynched were crimi-
mails in Italy. and left their country for
their country's good. The New Orleans
authorities have the records Of nearly all of
them, and it is thought not improbable
that it will be shown that Comltez and
Monasterio had bad records in Italy.
The little furry with Italy is over. 1t
never assumed threatening proportions.
There may be more war TAX before the
aff air is settled, but it will be we'll under
stood that the talk will not be followed by
anything more serious.

Social Realism in London.

A recent London letter contains an inter
esting acc unit of an after dinner entertain
ment at the house of the Earl of Caledon,
which is situated in the aristocratic region
of Mayfair. This earl married daughter
of the Earl Of Norburg, and he and his wife
are jolly couple.
The guests at the dinner were among the
most fashionable men and women of Lon
don. After the dinner the guests were in
vited into the ball room and treated to an
exhibition of glove fight between Mr..
Donovon and Mr.. Bill Cheese, two noted
light weight bruisers of London. And a
very lively fight it was. Blood flowed
quite freely. and one of the bruisers was
carried off after number of rounds had
been fought to have his wounds dressed.
But the surprising feature Of The enter
tainment was the interest which the ladies
took in it. 1t appeared to give them great
satisfaction, and when blows were struck
which br, ught the blood they applauded
enthusiastically. Perhaps the wine taken
at dinner made them forget the brutality of
the exhibition. 1t is certainly to be re-
GREETED that women who | ave been trained
under the most refining influences find
pleasure in sports of this sort. 1t is an indi-
cation that civilized man has not gotten SO
very far away from the savage after all.
In London there must be great difficulty
in entertaining guests at dinner party if
prize-fghte-s must be introduced for that
purpose. 1t may be sid that what was
sought in the glove fight was novelty, but
isn't novelty without brutality obtainable9
Glove fights may do for men, but they are
hardly the thing for women.

How They Caught the Postmistress

How They Caught the Postmistress
A party of Hartford young ladies, says the
New York Continent visiting last summer at a
back country town, found great difficulty in
getting their mail.
The train would arrive and the letter bag
reach the Office, but then there was a long d.
lay. They laid it to the postmistreSs reading
the postal cards, which they insisted she did at
each mail.
BY aud by one of the girls came back TO Hart
ford, and then she wrote her friends postal
saying at the end;
not taxe all the afternoon to read this postal
ca d."
The friends were promptly at the postofice
and the mail came slowly, as usual, but when at
last the postmlstress laid down this postal she
said. with a snap in her eye:
IL hope, when you write, you'll tell Miss -
she's an impudsnt hussy."
1t sounds like a 'give-awsy.'
