Some close observer of our social re-
lations having looked about among his
married female acquaintances, ventures
to give the following list, with an attempt
to indicate the reasons which influence
too many to marry.


Number one has married for home,
She got tired Of working in factory or
teaching school; she thought married
life on earth was but moonlight walks,
buggy rides, new bonnets and nothing
to do.


Well, she got tired of her home;
whether or not she is tired of the incum-
brances this deponent saith not, mas
much as this deponent does not posi-
lively know.


Number two married because she had
ssyen young sisters and her papa with q
narrow income. She consulted the in
terest of her family. Perhaps she
would have better consulted her own in
terest by taking in light washing or go
ing out by the day to work.


Number three married because Mrs.
sounded better than Miss. She. was
twenty-nine years and eleven months
old, and another month would have
transformed her into q regular old maid.
Think how awful that would have been.


Number four married because she
wanted somebody to pay her bills. Her
husband married for precisely the same
reason; so they are both lamenting at
leisure.


Number five married because Fanny

WASH going to be left behind. Pity she
couldn't get married as well as other
folks.


Number six married because she was
poor and wanted riches. She never
counted on all other things that were in
separable from those riches.


Number seven married because she
would like to travel. But Mr. Number
Seven changed her mind afterward, and
all the travelling she has done has been
between the well and the back kitchen
door.


Number eight married out of spite,
because her first love bad taken to him
self second love. This piece of re-
taliation might have done her good at
the time, but in the long run number
eight found it did not pay.


Number nine married because she
loved her husband with all her heart and
soul. And she loves him still, and will
probably continue to love him, and is the
happiest wife in the world-so she says.


We have all the right motive at last
one which, when sanctifed a desire and
affection, is above all others.

"What are your politics." said to us new
conner to the city, We answer that the
first vote we ever cast was for Hugh L.
White, and our politics have been white
ever since. We would have good measures
and good men if we can. If not we would
take the next best, and the best we can.
We are more especially for ''the land of the
free and the home of the" slave. As to
State matters we are inclined to be little
Brown. We are for doing the best we can
under all circumstances, and for paying only
the debts that we owe. Whether in the
Presidential race we shall go for the Liberal
Republican Office hunters will depend on
whether we must or no. If the Democratic
party should make a nomination we expect

Sometime since we published an article
in which we took the grounds that if Gov.
John G. Brown could find it consistent
with his interests TO give his services for a
second term to the State, that We would be
willing to give him our hearty support. We
then gave some reasons for the position,
among others this: that any policy that
might be inaugurated by him, Cor any other
GovernOr,) could not be perfected, and
properly carried out in the short space Of
one term. Our State has suffered alarming
ly by the misrule Of former years, and now
that the present Governors policy was, in
our estimation, well calculated to bring the
State back TO a basis Of prosperity, and
credit, and that we would like to see it car

Mr.. Chandler moved to lay it OF the
table for the purpose of considering bills
reported from the Committee on Commerce
with an understanding that the tariff bill
should be taken up again at O'Clock to-
morrow.


John Sherman said as this day had been
assigned for the consideration of bills ofthe
Committee on Commerce, he would not
oppose the motion. Besides he was some
what at a loss TO know what to do about
the tariff bill. There seemed to be some
uncertainty throughout the country on the
effect of the vote on Friday to make tea
and coffee free, and if the Senate had delib-
erately made up is mind to repeal the duty
on tea and coffee, its best course will be to
pass bill for that purpose. If that was
done, then perhaps it might be advisable to
postpone further action on the tariff until
the House tariff bill should be received.


Mr.. Scott said it was important that the
tea and coffee question should be settled at
once, and asked Chandler to consent to lay
aside the bills of his committee informally,
so the Senate might amend the House bill
by fixing the time when it should go into
operation, and then pass it.


Mr.. Chandler said he preferred to go on
with the consideration of the bills from the
Committee of Commerce and several of
those bills we're passed, including one au-
thOrizing the construction of railroad
bridges across the Ohio river at or near
Evansville and Mount Vernon, Ind, and
another authorizing mail steamship
service between New Orleans and certain
Mexican ports.


The bill to facilitate commerce with
China, Japan and other countries of Asia
was taken up, but pending its considera-
ton the Senate went into executive session
and soon adjourned.
