THE HUSBANDS DUTY.

This one word of the Scriptural in
junction, love" contains within itself
the whole of the husbands duty. In
the love due a wife, from a husband
he stands pledged to give her the deep
est and most lasting affection of the
heart. This pledge is taken in the mar
riage ceremony at the altar. The pass
ing of time should make the bond
stronger and dearer. That self-sacri-
fiCing love which Christ bore towards
humanity is the kind of love man
should have for his wife
All she is, all she expects to be. is
yielded w to him with absolute con-
fidence. No comparison can be made
for such an act in human experiences
and is man worthy the name who
will thus receive such a heart Offering
without deep consecratiOn to the idea
of being wholly worthy of this git
beyond compare" The love Of a good,
pure, vrtuous wife is returned by the
husbands proofs of his Worthiness OF
her love. This can he indicated in
numerous ways. Consult her, be ad-
ViSed by her, let her divide with YOU in
sorrow or joy, show her that she is to
you what no other can be and your
success is sure, but cease for a moment

No Stamps Required.

There has been good deal of dis
cussion as to whether State, parish
and town officials should stamp their
checks, etc., under the U. s. war reve-
nue. law that went into effect on July
first inst. In order to settle point
in dispute, Auditor Heard recently
wrote to the Treasury Department at
Washington to ascertain whether or
not under the new revenue act it was
necessary to affix stamps to checks
issued by tax collectors and other
State, parish and municipal officials
in the transaction of official business.
The ruling is that no stamps will be
required by such officials; that nei-
ther voucher, warrant or check for
amounts due individuals, nor those
drawn in the regular discharge of Of
fetal business, require stamps. As a
consequence State, parish and town
officials are saved the bother of stick
ing stamps on their documents.

The average death rate in the city
of New Orleans during the summer
months, when there is no unusual cpl

the week ending July %, 1898, the

average of Is for every day in the
week. We call attention to these sta

The War Continues,
But Peace Will Probably Follow
In q Short While.

But Peace Will Probably Follow
In q Short While.
A break in the strain of listening
for sensations from the seat of war
has occurred this week. On last Tues
day, about 3o'clock in the afternoon,
the French ambassador inquired OF
President Mckinley upon what terms
the United States would consent to
peace.
This is regarded as direct over
ture made by authority OF the Span
ish government. The President, it is
said will demand the independence Of
Cuba, cession to the Unted States of
Porto Rico and the Landlpne Islands,
a coaling station in the the PHILIPPINE
Islands, and binding agreement
that the people of those islands shall
have a form OF government satisfac-
tory to themselves. The question of
war indemnity seems to be taken for
granted, althoughit has been left out
of the discussion thus far.
In the meaa time troops are being
landed in Porto Rico, and the war
ships are surrounding the island.
Dewey holds the fort afManila, con-
tinues to capture gunboats, and is
making preparations to take the city.
All things considered, The war bids
fair to end pretty soon. If Spain has
not the good sense to sue for peace, it
won't take long to whip her into a
