LONDON. August g. "A scandal Of very seri-
GUS character is impending over the Irish
party. The arrest Of one of the anti-Parnellite
N. P.'s for bigamy is within the possibilities.
If the current story is true he has married q
second time, his first wife being alive and un-
divorced He may have a valid defense TO a
criminal charge in the assertion that he be-
lieved her dead. but a. she Is not dead the
second marriage at any rate is worthless. tits

have 10 retire 10 private life. "Of course"
said Psrnellite to-day. no scandal IN the
Irish party could como up 10 the Parnell-
O'shsa affair in public interest. but that did
not involve crime under the law This
does" There arc said 10 be other cases among

Obsolete Punishment for Women.

Curious instruments devised for quench-
ing the ardor of hot tempered shrews were
once numerous. One was the brank-a
sugar loaf shaped cap, made of iron hoop
ing, with cross at the top, and fat piece,
also of iron, rejecting inward for laying
upon the offenders tongue, so that it
should not wag, and her head should not
move. The Drank was padlocked behind,
and the woman led through the streets by
an officer of the town, probably IA beadle,
until she began to show 'all external signs
imaginable of humiliation and amend
ment'' Equally efficacious was the whiri-
gig, large circular cage turning upon a
pivot. 1t was put on the heads of trifiing
offenders of all kinds, and not brawling

HOW TO MANAGE HUSBANDS.

The Author of Little Lord FauntIeroy''
Talks on an Interesting Subject.
"How TO manage husbands" said Mrs.
Frances HodgsOn Burnett, the authoress
of Little Lord Fauntleroy," echoing the
question. You mean how to manage
them to make them happy? In my judg-
ment, no man or woman, married or sin
gle, can be made happy by others. Others
may afford us opportunities of being hap
ply, but no one can compel us to be happy
whether we will or not. Our happiness or
unhappiness must ever depend largely
upon ourselves, let our surroundings and
companions be what they may. You re-
member Mark Tapley in Dickens novel of
Martin ChuzLlewit?' You know his great
object in life was TO be jolly as he called
it, under adverse circumstances, and he
sought diligently to place himself in the
most depressing situation possible in order
TO prove that man may be contented and
happy in any condition if he only will.
I'm married life, as in everything else in
this world, there is everything in beginning
right, and the very beginning is when the
young man and the young woman who are
to comprise the future married couple re-
ceive their first training in early child
hood. In most of the cases where marriage
has proved Il failure n close investigation
Will snow JnaJ the husband or Wlfe-Der-
haps both-have never received n proper
business or domestic training, and each has
relied on the other to make him or her
happy.
This notion in itself is fatal to happi-
ness. The man or woman who sits down
and waits to be made happy by their con-
jugal partner, and becomes angry with the
said partner because he or she does not
manufacture the required amount of hap
piness, will in a short time declare mar
riage a failure, and perhaps seek relief in
one of those divorces which may now be so
easily obtained without publicity.
"A girl whose natural domestic tastes
have been carefully developed and who has
otherwise been properly trained will have
very little trouble in making home what
it should be, and one of the greatest of all
points in managing a husband is to make
home the most attractive of all places to
him.
"a good story is told of two brothers in
law, one rich, the other poor, meeting after
long separation.
"'How do you spend your evenings"
asked the poor man.
'''Oh, at the club was the response.
cat the clubn exclaimed the poor man
| in a tone of deep commiseration. That's
not like home, is it?'
"'No, indeed it is not, thank heavenl If
it were l should never GO
| There are countless men like him who
| seek the club as Il relief from home because
| their wives do not know how to manage
| husbands by making home attractive. -

ONE YEAR AGO.

What stars have faded from our sky!
What hopes unfolded but TO die?
What dreams so fondly pondered DER
Forever lost the hue they wore:
How like n death l5ncll, sad and slow.
Rolls through the soul, zone year ago!"
Where is the face we loved TO greet?
The form that graced the fireside seata
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our lifepath day by day2
Where fled those accents soft and low,
That thrilled our hearts zone year ago?"
All! vacant is the firesidc chair,
The smile that won no longer there:
From door and hall, from porch and lawn
The echo of that voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much was lost 'onc year ago,''
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard by day and night;
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds tho tread
OF footsteps near her lowly bed;
Her pulseless breast no moro may know
The pang3 a. ,3fo ''onc year ago."
But why repine? \ few more years,
y few more broken signs and tears,
And we, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have led
To that far world rejoicing 20
To which she passed lone year ago."
