A lady friend having copied the fol-
lowing from the Southern Churchman,
asks us to re-publish it. We do so with
pleasure, because we are in full accord
with the sentiment expressed. We have
never been able TO understand why ten
der lovers should ever be transformed
into morose, exacting husbands, or Jeal-
ous inattentive wives. If both parties
would keep their eyes open before con-
tracing marriage, and afterwards exer-
else good sense and forbearance with
proper attention TO each other, there
would be fewer unhappy marriages. and
the honeymoon would never wane.
There is no reason why man should
not show the same delicate attentions
to GOOD wife that he did to the fond
sweetheart, but abundant and weighty
reasons why he should. Mairimony
should be, and is, with many silken
cord that birds two willing hearts, and
never chafes. But to the article in
question:


Don't you think wien you have won
a wife, that You have won a slave?


Has your wife less feeling than your
sweetheart ? Her nature has not
changed


Don't be gruff and rude towards her.
Had you been that sort of fellow be-
fore marriage, she might have had a
better lot.


Don't make your wife feel that she is
an incumbrance. What she needs give,
as if it were pleasure.


Don't think that the loving, trusting
woman you promise to love and PRO
TECT, has become your servant.


Don't think that board and clothes is
a sufficient return for all your wife does
for you.


If You do, then do rot wonder that
your wife is not so cheerful as she used
10 be. That the glad smile has left her
brow. The bright color has left heI
cheeks. The light, sprnging step has
changed to one slow aud heavy.


Husband, do YOU not remember OF
TEN having given her STONE, as II
were, when she longed for tood-how
long, alas has tha: poor heart beer
aching with hunger--heart hungry
how many have felt its pangs.

There is a steamboat Captain that
sails ship on the La Belle Riviere,
familiarly known by his friends as the
''Old Pirate" who is very fond of spin
ming yarns. Among others, we have
heard him relate the following:


"When | was about fifteen, | made
trip on keelboat to Nashville. Walk
ing back across the country with crew
of FIVE men with myself, one evening
we came to dwelling just at dark, and
on requesting to be allowed to stay all
night, was told by the lady OF the house
that it would be impossible tor her to
accommodate US, as her husband had
just died that evening, and there was no
one but herself and two children there.
Our Captain told her she need not put
herself to any trouble on our account, as
We had provisions, and all we asked was
shelter; furthermore, that she could re-
tire, and we would take times in watch
inc by the corpse. She finally consent
ed to let us stay, and as she had lost
considerable sleep, retired to an adjoin-
ing room gu te early. The men were
divided into three watches, placing on
the middle or midnight watch young
man that was very foud of practical
Joking, and another that was notorl-
Gus braggart, and had frequently said
that he wasn't afraid OF the devil him
self He was also regular sleepy-head,
and within fifteen minutes after going
on watch, was snoring away like a
Pittsburgh towboat Number one saw
chance to play joke, aud OF course
could not resist the temptation. SO
quietly raising up the dead man, who
was as stiff as a poker, he stood him up
against the wall, and to heighten the
effect placed lighted stogie in his
mouth. Then taking a seat beside the
sumbering watcher he also pretended
10 sleep, and would fa!l over and nudge
his comrade until he finally woke the
man, who, slowly Strengthened up,
opened his eyes and caught sight OF the
shrouded dead. With his eyes staring
from their sockets he gave one yell, and
springing TO his feet, went through the
window, making necktie OF the sash.
His yell, of course, aroused everybody,
and the way they leaked out of the
house by the windows and door wasn't
slow now, you bet.


The widow, hearing the uproar, came
rushing out 10 see what was the matter.
She came, she saw, and with shrek
she went through the door like greas
ed streak of lightning.


| awoke in time to see the romance
of her night-dress disappear in the dark
ness. Jumping to my feet, l took IN
the situation at glance, and the way
picked 'em up and laid 'em down fol
about two hundred yards would have
done credit to Goldsmith Maid. The
cause of all this disturbance, as soon a!
the house was vacated, slipped in ano
placed the corpse as it was before, then
calling his comrades, they searched fol
aud found the woman, and finally made
her believe it was an optical illusion
but there was no more sleeping done II
that house that night.

Washington, May 30.-The Potter
committee yesterday virtually decided
to hold its sessions in secret, also to
send committee to Louisiana with
McMahon as its chairman, and one to
Florida with Potter as its chairman.
Signs of disintegration are shown by
the Democracy in refusing to be bound

Keys letter appears to have shot him
into the bosom of the Republican par
ty. Foster said to-day that the letter
had put an end to the movement look
ing to Keys retirement from the Cabi-
net. Republicans who, have been urg-
ing it now say that since this bold
stand has been taken by Key he
should be supported. There is but one
comment among Democrats upon the
subject. They say the letter is howl
for bread and that Key is poor and can
not afford to lose his office. The Ten
nessee members are especially indig
nant. They are busy arranging let
tor, that is to be published, addressed
to the Democrats of Tennessee, de-
nouncing Key as an apostate. This
will be signed by both Senators and all
the Democratic members from Keys
State.


Keys letter appearing simultaneous
ly with that of Stephens creates a gen.
uine sensation here, and is commented
upon more generally than anything that
has occurred since the Potter move
ment began. For several months, ever
since the spirit of the Democrats in
Congress was developed, and the error
of the present southern policy was
demonstrated by the broken pledges Of
the Democrats, Key has been preparing
to cut himself loose from the Demo-
cratic party and declare future course
for himself to follow. He voluntarily
subscribed 5000 to the Republican CAM
paign fund, saying he believed the in
terest of the administration, of which
he was part, and the Republican party,
were identical, and he felt it his duty
and privilege to do his part, as other
of the administration were
doing theirs, towards supporting the
Republican party.

Both political organizations mean to work

that the next campaign will be one of the hot

The man who works eight or ten
hours each day and cannot live has
the right to saunter about the streets
declaring that there ought to be three
thousand instead of eight hundred
millions of money. He who has taken
up a homestead, which, under the
bene6cent laws of Texas, costs nothing
and cannot be taken away for debt, and
cannot make bread on it for his wife
and children, has the right to howl
for "fiAt" money, which, costing
nothing, will buy less. The negro
who can make from $125 to So day
picking cotton, and does it, and then
cannot live, has the right to JOIN the
"fiat" money people and demand
money fer nothing and forty acres and
a mule, as originally promised by the
founders of loyal leagues. Blatant loaf
ers, who propose to get a living without
work and ride the unlettered negro into
office that they may steal and rob, can
hardly expect any large share of SYM
pathy among decent people. The real
working men of the country and town
have no such expectations and indulge
no such hopes as are defined in these
fiat" money platforms and speeches.
In Eastern cities there exists an un-

We never could understand why a
poor man, unless overwhelmed with
debt, would have a grievously inflated
currency. If ones home be mortgaged,
and he seeks easy escape from the
clutches of creditors, he might pray
for vigorous imitation. But we cannot
see why laborinZ man, who would
get ''value received" for his toll,
would augment the volume when
utterly failing, as he must, to
augment the value of dollars. Why
such a man, out of debt, would have
the currency he must accept for his
labor divorced from real value, we
cannot comprehend. The debtor class
might well differ from the working
class, which owes nothing, but it
seems that in the East the two Co
operate. We can see why capitalists,
consulting their own interests, may ap-
prove currency which increases the
power of capital. Capital controls the
money IN circulation. A redundant
currency enlArges the power which
capital wlelds over labor. The work.
ing man can get no more money, good
or bad, or gold or inflated paper, than
hls toll will buy, and it is true, in
purchasing money as dry goods,
that he is the wisest purchaser
who buys the best goods. But
all the worlds experience shows
that an irredeemabIe (iat) currency is
ruinous alike to capital and labor, and
its worst and first disastrous effects al
ways fall most heavily upon the poor.
The Democracy would not reduce any
class to ruin, but enable the debtor
class to pay their debts with currency
Of the same value as that used when
they contracted their debts. and there
fore the volume of currency might weA
be enlarged till prices Of 1884 are re

Seated on form, in front Of which

Hoedel, the prisoner. As my eye fell

four sturdy policemen who sat near

waif of misery this would-be assassin

a more stalwart look the day he was

Hard living and two months residence
in Prussian Jail may have had some
thing to do with reducing his flesh.
Perhaps, too, had his unbuttoned,

witnesses to his identity were being
examined-a little less battered, his
coat and pantaloons mended and
brushed, his long yellow hair cut and
combed, and his excessively dirty
hands and face washed, he might have
presented more satisfactory appear
ance. But as he stood or sat, now
rubbing the end of his nose with the
palm of his hand, now scratching his
head, and now grinning, there was
nothing very formidable or notable
about him. My first thought was<tna
the treaG.nIilE- and 7soord birch
ing would have been the most
suitable punishment for 30 forlorn
wretch as he. Yet, that he was
not only intelligent, but also clever,
we were not long in seeing. The
cheap German schools, and the almost
free Berlin University, had given him
the very kind Of knowledge that had
led to his ruin. He had 0ot oniNl
learned to ''speak evil of dignitaries,
but State education had enabled him
to do so in q forcibly, even clever,
manner. Even he did not deny
though he did almost all else-that he
had made many an Grafton to assem-

corners of Berlin, 70 the effect that
neither Kaiser nor King, neither God
nor devil, was needed in the social
economy of real Berliners, that all that
was wanted was general bouLevTse-
ment, in which the rich would be
swamped, and the poor allowed TO take
care of themselves. When an old
soldier, who, it appears had over
heard one of Hoedel's eloquent periods,
at some time or other, reported the
nonsense which the prisoner had
talked, Hoedel stood up with much
fattefed air, as though he would Give

A traveller through the East sends q
letter to the New York Tribune, from
which the following is condensed for the
purpose of showing the social and polit-
ical condition of Constantinople, as it
appears to professional. The war
naturally worked a sad change in the
lives of poorer classes. With the depre-
citation of paper money came a dispro-
portionate advance in the price of bread.
stuffs, and consequent suffering among
the people. One instance is cited us hav-
ing come under the writer's observation.
A young girl who was able to earn five
piastres day, with which to support
her mother, two sisters and herself,
stood before bakers shop with her
veil fallen to the ground and her eyes
flashing with anger, while her whole at
titude be'okened grave alarm. She had
gradually seen the price of bread in
crease while her own wages remained
unchanged, until at last she had been told
her money was no longer sufficient to
keep her family from actual starvation
The picture of that poor sufferer was one
typical of the invaded and doomed re-
gion. The parent government is no
longer able, if it is disposed, to help its
children, and the tradesmen are rude
and grasping in their demands. The
condition of that section of the world is
deplorable, but it is such as inevitably
follows an unsuccessful struggle at
arms
