Married Women in the West.

The western married man has no stand
ing in society except by his wife's side.
The men who run the towns are seldom
seen at the parties, which are managed by
their unmarried clerks. In the old courtly
days a man and wife had a social indi-
viduality; but when a man attends a social
gathering in the west he is expected to seat
himself beside his wife and behave as well
as he can, to the end that people may
understand that he is not only fond of the
worthy woman at home, but in company
as we'll
If a married man should attend a west
ern social affair without his wife he would
be very apt to be approached by married
woman who would ask him in an audible
whisper, where is your wife?" andkthere
would be n certain something in the wom-
ans tone indicating that he ought to be
ashamed of himself for being there under
such circumstances. l once knew gay
young husband to exhibit n paper, signed
by his wife, to the effect that he was ut the
party alone with her knowledge and con-
sent.-E. w. Howe in Forum.

The Sultan's Prisoner.

Among the Turks the usual method,
both of trying and Furnishing poisoner, is
to make him drink his own concoction, II
any can be found. Otherwise the accused
is half strangled or beaten into confess
sion. a poisoner who survives the pre-
liminary ordeals, but is convicted never
theless, is tortured to death by being
spread cagled in the heat of the sun. 1t
is said that up to a recent period the sui
tan's list of palace employees included a
Turkish doctor, expert in poisons, whose
duties were not confined to attending the
sick and tasting the sultan's food. 1t has
been known in Constantinople that the
skill of the sultan's poison expert was
called into service whenever his master
wished to get rid of some one who had Of
Tended but who had been guilty of no open
violation of the sultan's wishes or DEGREES.

After discussing the prospects of the campaign,
the visitors were assured. that Seattle would not

in the fall by letting the Democrats carry of the
honors next month.
Senator Wilson delivered brief address, by
request, upon the result OF his trip through the
state, which had proved very satisfactory.
The appointment of delegates to the King
county convention was then discussed. Major
Rnehart was in favor of a convention OF 10Y,
giving one for each fifty voters or fraction of
twenty, taking the vote for Congressman Wilson
as the basis.
1t was considered by some of the members
that larger convention was more desirable,
and it was finally resolved to have conven-
ton of 1877, allowing one delegate to each pre-
cinct, and then proportionately. This will give
SO votes to the city precincts and 1ol to the rest
of the county.
The following gives the number of delegates
to each precinct:
