The Right Way to Soften the Stony Female Heart and Insure the Occassional Presence of Your Wife at Home. In addressing this essay to the hus bands of this land I feel the great diffi culty of handling a subject so fraught with potent meaning to them and so li able to call forth criticisms from all quarters. Yet I also feel that just about this time it is necessary for some one with Lis heart in the matter to say what ought to be done to make our homes pleasant and comfortable, so that our wives will remain home at night tun! timl pleasure in the company of their husbands. This great and growing evil must be mat. How? Not by weeping and praying in the privacy of our own rooms, while we rook the cradle and wonder when that woman is going to shake her gang of old gossip pers and come home; not by going out after her and pleading for her to come home with you, nor by meeting her at the door with tearful looks, or rolling pins and tears. No; you cannot soften tjie stony female heart that way; it only serves to chill what little love she may have for you, as she reels merrily home. I am not addressing this article to those men whose wives beat them or otherwise really abuse them; such tire outside the pale of my observations. My heart yearns over them in tender pity, but 1 must speak to those men whose evening are passed in lonely contempla tion of the mournful fact that they are joined to wives who tind their homes un congenial and seek in the giddy compan ionship of other women those diversions they should extract from their own house holds. Oh l how my heart goes out to these lonely men, and how I long to prove to them that they can make their lives one continual picnic and keep their beauty from fading, while at the same time bringing up their children in inti mate acquaintanceship with their mother. The secret of it is all contained in these words —make your home pleasant. Few women can long resist the power of a charming man, good and dainty fodder, a neat and well-appointed home, choice, selected brands ot conversation, with now and then some pleasing com pany of neighbors. The woman who as she gets her supper claps a bonnet on her head and rushes out to some other woman's house to talk till late at night about puffed sleeves, yoke bands, beaded passementeries and other things which the masculine mind is not capable of comprehending, may not at first yield to gentle treatment, but it fetches her tit last. And again, when your wife rises in the morning with a dull, throbbing headache, and desires a pail of sparkling ice water, don't sneer at her over the coffee pot and ask her in a cast iron voice where she has been till night, nor sulk till through breakfast in chilly silence. Go and get the ice water, and put a wet towel around her throbing head with your (left, loving fingers, whose gentle touch will magnetize her and drive awav that splitting ache. Let her see that you are glad that she came home at all, and do not try to drive her away again by abuse or scorn. Somewhere in every woman's heart there is a tender spot, and love will tind it. Don't kick every . time she conies in without wiping her feet on the mat, or forgets to chop the wood and bring up the coal. Huy her a smaller ax so that she may find her labor lighter. \\ hen she is shoveling snow or coal on the front walk, don't give her maddening di rections out of the window, and when she brings unexpected guests home to dinner welcome them cordially,. and don’t let them see that you have had to send cut for more fodder to regale them with. Never let your wife's guests have reason to suspect that she has married a Manitoba blizzard or a Delano refriger ator as you sit at the table with them. When she gets up in the night, thinking she hears burglars, and stands at the head of the stairs with a horse-pistol, her heart away up in her throat, clad only in her fears and a long white gar ment, don't jeer at her sarcastically and call her a coward for not plunging down and cleaning out the entire gang. Allow her to go to sleep again without asking her if she has fastened the gate, locked the doors, shut the windows, put out the lights and the cat, brought up water for the children, fixed the fire, wound the clock, set tin* alarm, covered the canary, loosed the dog, chopped wood, brought up coal, set the milk pail with the tickets in it and said her prayers. All these things help to make her f’**el that her ! home is a place where she can go long i before all the oth#r places are shut up. Then you must make the house beauti- I ful and cheerful. The old-time dodge of sanding the floor and putt'ng a few | wooden tables and chairs around with large stone cuspidors and bock-beer signs on the walls is not as attractive as it was twenty years ago. I’eople who recom mend this device are wav behin 1 the age. Decorate the home, cover the walls with objects of beauty and taste. Of course you will say that this costs money, but I want to show you how to do it cheapily and prettily; in fact, at almost no expense. We cannot all live like artists and have Gobelin tapestry and real oil hand-paintings, but we can, with a little ingenuity, ribbons and gilt fix up a home so that women will linger fondly about it and spend their evenings in it. | Few men realize how women appreciate these little attentions to their or bow I necessary they are to the peace and com fort of the family. There are things thrown away daily that would go far I to decorating a house, things which we scarcely notice until some lady takes hold and puts them to use and we wonder I why we did not think of it ourselves. Among the many things which cun be utilized I give only a few. A pair of old rubber or leather boots and a bottle of twenty-five cents gilding fluid produces a pretty parlor ornament as one could desire. Set them in the window and fill them with fresh cut flowers, and the effect is very hors du combat indeed. A battered watering-pot gilded and decked with lavendar ribbons may be hung in an alcove and gives an air of moisture to a room. A wheelbarrow can be paint ed green and trimmed with lace looks charming and can be utilized as a wash basket on Mondays. Those who can paint may display their taste by embellishing it with flower de signs of various patterns. Gilt irf used now on everything and goes a great way in adding embonpoint to a room. A string of gilded tomato-cans hung across the hall with pompons of hen's leathers stuck in them is a brilliant idea of a gentleman in Newark, who give a great deal of thought to these things. He has what he calls a “dodo” ofbrouzed ie plates along his parlor wall, that is very touching when the soft twilight shadows play among the irregularites of the metal and it calls to the mind a row of ancestral shields. A defunct bustle, adorned with- narrow junk ribbons, makes a dainty canary cage cover, and an old white plug hat with designs in India ink drawn all over it with the end of a feather duster stuck in the top is a pleasing device. Have you ever seen an old coal-scuttle, which you might have discarded, fixed up and hanging in a jiarlor with the merry summer sunlight caressing it? They look lovely when hammered, gilded and lined with quilted ecru satin. A wash boiler may be utilized the same way. It can be suspended on three broomsticks painted red and filled with daisies in the summer and cigar stumps in the winter. Everything can be utilized. Take a pair of old jtolka dot trousers that you would not wear for fear of Iteiug mobbed, and a little trouble would make them exceedingly decorative. Tie them with black bows, fringe the bottoms or sew on “rick-rack,” and nail them upon the wall. Stuff a lot of dried grasses and cat-tails down into them until they assume a rotund and bulgeons apjtearanoe. A couple of green bottles stuck in the pock ets adds to the effeei, or the [rockets may be utilized us card receivers, although an old vest will do bet'er, ns it has more j sockets and less bulgeosity. A large circle of cold buckwheat cakes nailed to a ceiling or arranged in groujis about the wails is anew idea and a very pretty conception. They might have little land scapes painted on them by your artist friends, or colored cards maybe sewed on them. A nice curtain can be made by tacking them all together ami hanging them uj) with a border of red flannel stitched to top and bottom. Fish-balls when dry and hard can be glided and make artistic pajrer weights; the same may be said of biscuits. A love ly mat or tire screen is made of cold varn ished waffles riveted or glued together in a frame of black walnut. It isn’t gen erally known that a waffle with a handle to it like a flat-iron is a good thing to scrub bare floors with sand.- There are hundreds of these things, and I think half the pleasure is in thinking out and apjrlying them yourself. They all add to tne attractiveness of the house and aid in keeping the women at home. Keep the house neat. No woman likes to come home and find the house littered tap and everything upside down and scat tered around. This has driven many a wife away in disgust. In addition to this take pains to be dressed in a pleasing but not gaudy manner. She don't like to c#me home and find you looking like a professional slouch in your shirt sleeves, with your feet on the mantlepiece, the house full of five cent cigar smoke, chil dren not washed or dressed nor the beds made. Always wear your best when she edmes home, and she cannot fail to notice in a few weeks how pretty you look, and think better of you for it. AH these things have their effect. Then some attention must Is* jraid to home conversation. Don’t talk about money matters at all. There’s nothing Breaks a woman uj> so quickly as a re quest for money and the consequent wrangle about it. Never give her occa sion to ask you what yon did with the dollar she gave yon last week, and when she brings home ice cream or fried oys ters late at night, don’t tell her that she had better have saved the money and spent it for window-shades or a hash cnopifer. Don’t talk to her about things in which she has no interest, but study to make your conversation edify ing and pleasing. Talk about the last ffcvre ball match, taw*p powted so that you can give her tijrs on racing, and treasure any little gossij) about the jrrize ring till yc l can discuss it at the table. Talk over any event with her in yachting, dog fighting or boating circles that is inter esting and put uj) a pistol gallery in the cellar and a sand-bag and gloves in the garret where she can develop her muscles without going to the club. Enter hear tily iuto all her sports, and you will find a sincere pleasure in them yourself. All these things and many more can be done to add to the attractions of home, and the result will be that our wives will sjrend five nights in the week in the bosom of their families and a flood of happiness will fill the hearts of men now sitting in gloomy despair at forsa ken firesides, meditating a sjreedy return to their father's homestead. Walt McDougall. DEATH OF A PROMINENT TEACHER. Prof. I. F. Cox, President of the South ern Female College, l)ie Sudden ly in Latirunge, Ga. Professor I. F. Cox, the President of the Southern Female College, of La- Grange, Ga., died very suddenly at his residence in that city Monday morning at 3:30 o'clock, it is supposed from an at tack of apoplexy. He retired in his usual health the night before, and his untimely death was a great shock to his friends and family. Probably there was no educator In this section more extensively and favorably known as an instructor of girls than Prof. Cox. For a considerable number of years he has been the President of the Southern Female College, and from small beginnings he has brought the institu tion to a very high standard of excel lence. It is a Baptist institution and has a reputation as one of the most prom inent female colleges in the land. Him self a teacher of a high order of ability— excelled by none and equalled by few —he was ably assisted by members of his family, who are his corps of teachers. He leaves the < college in the hands of those who thoroughly understand his plans and wishes, and will maintain it at its present standard. Prof. Cox was one of the most promi nent Baptists in the State. He was a good man and a pure Christian, whose death is a severe loss to that community and its announcement will be received with sorrow throughout the South, The commencement evercises of the college began Saturday. Rev. Dr. Ryals, of Mercer University, preached the com mencement sermon Sunday. The re mainder of the programme was dispensed with. Only Ou .Stop. Detroit Free Press.

THE LIFE THEREAFTER Future State Considered—An Interesting Address by Mr. Wallace. From the San Francisco Chronicle] The well-known English scientist, Dr. Alfred Wallace, gathered quite a large audience before him in Metropolitan Hall last evening, who were evi dently anxious to hear an answer from Job’s significant question, “If a man die shall he live again? " He characterized his theme as the question of questions, which the ancient scientists considered the unsolved prob lem. and that modern scientists hud either left untouched or precisely where they found it. He 1 relieved that if the question were decided negatively, it left man's con dition utterly hopeless, destroying the hojre of reward for justice, truth and un selfishness, aud placing no restraint upon the evil tendencies of man. It would annihilate all righteous government and establish the universal law that might make right and build a hell on earth. The sjreaker dwelt at length upon the peculiar history of witchcraft, treating it in the evident Relief that it was not in reality the imposition for which it was so bitterly persecuted, fought and finally exterminated; but that there was some truth in it, though not revealed by the light of science at that time, is now plainly visible. Out of the horrors re sulting from witchcraft rose the sun of modern science and filled the world with lignt. Human thought was led away to the contemplation of nature and mind, and witchcraft was branded as a delusion not founded upou reason. He explained the cessation of witch craft as having been the result of three centuries of systematic persecution, and likened the spiritualism of the present day to a fresh crop that had newly sprung up. Rut meanwhile modern science had madegiant strides —had decided that all force was the result of molecular motion of matter —and the belief had be come so strong that spiritual manifesta tions received no credence. Into this compact, fortified and nearly impreg nable condition of modern science, modern spiritualism had shot like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Its spread is little less than phenomenal. It is permeating every part of the world, and has done what science and religion lias been unable to do—-give a rational ac count of the numerous phenomena that have clogged the machinery of intelli gence for centuries. All scientists ap proach it with strong prejudices. Yet it is a remarkable circumstance* that years of deep and careful research of its bound less resources all have decided that it is neither an imposition nor a delusion. Dr. Wallace classified sjriritual phe nomena into two divisions —the physical and the mental. To the former belong such manifestations as the producing of sounds by other than human agencies, the movement of heavy bodies, transfer ring substances long distances, writing, drawing, painting, music and materiali zation; and in the latter class such phe nomena as involuntary writings, clair voyance, trance speaking and healing. The great striking characteristics looked as a whole are the natural phe nomena as opposed to artificial, and is jieculiarly convincing about them is that they are found in all nations and in all places, among the ignorant as well as the learned, aud they rue all alike. More, and in a sense answering 11k* question of the text, they are all essen tially and distinctively human, repre senting no other phase of creation. Never in spiritual manifestations does anything occur that cannot he traced to a human origin somewhere. Is this not a general proof of their once earthly residence? After referring to numerous convin cing manifestations that had come into his own personal knowledge, the sjreaker summed ujr the situation with the declar ation that the bible is full of spiritual phenomena, and that by the belief in spiritualism the handwriting on the wall before Belshazzar's host was made clear, it was plain to see how the victims of Nebuchadnezzar’s wroth escaped the fire, how Christ cast out devils and changed water into wine. Spiritualism gives a new life and interest in witchcraft and puts upon it a rational interpretation. It proves that mind may exist without brain, and jrlaces anew light on death, funYncourt New York, June 17. — I The sjjectaele of one man suing another for a girl's breach of promise of marriage entertain ed a host of Hebrews in Justice Rhinert's court in Brooklyn yesterday. The plain tiff and rejected suitor was Samuel Cole man, an extremely young Hebrew, and the defendant was Charles Frank, who has on his business card the words “mat rimonial agent.” For some time Frank has owed Coleman a few dollars, and a week ago the latter offered to wipe out the debt if Frank, through his agency, would get him a bride. Frank agreed and selected a fair young maiden named Wolf. Coleman was to call on her, but his clothes were too soiled to allow him to appear in female company, and so Frank offered to clean them. lie got the grease spots out but left such an Oder of benzine that Miss Wolf rejected Cole man with scorn. Coleman was mad, and yesterday he brought suit to recover #2l alleged to have been exjrended in the courting of Miss Wolf. The result was Frank put in a counter claim for #2G, including a bill for cleaning the clothes and another for expenses in working up Coleman’s boom for Miss Wolf. The justice reserved his decision. A Philadelphia Saloon Keeper Has a Draft. A saloon-keeper named Terrence J. Lynch, at the S.

His draft for the money was placed in the hands of the third National Bank ofPhila., and was promptly paid. This is the third Capital Prize of $150,- 000, fractions of which have been paid within the last three months in Philadel phia.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Mr. S. J. Loniso, recently appointed Postmaster at Temple. Indiana, has been boycotted by the business men of that little place and forced to leave. Accord ing to the story, nearly everybody of the masculine gender in Temple was an ap plicant for the office to which Mr. Loniso was appointed; ami, when he received his commission and started out to find a suitable building in which to open up business, a boycott was established by his former opponent*, and no one would rent him a room. After a month's fruit less search, Mr. Loniso gave up in dis gust, returning his outfit to the Post office department and leaving the town for good.

The Piedmont exposition at Atlanta in October next promises to equal the cot ton exposition ot 1881. The Ciate (ity in expending $120,000 in getting ready for the big fair, and together with her usual pluck and vim. which has Imhmi the secret of her success in so many of h r enterprises, the undertaking is bound to be a success. The Atlanta Constitution says: The Piedmont exposition will equal the Cotton exposition in every respect and surpns in many respects. Its build ings will be as large, and its equipment much, more complete. Its programme is much more attractive and will bring larger crowds. The interest in the Piedmont region is a hundred times greater now than it was in 1881, and visitors from all part* of the north will lie here in large numbers to study tin* resources of this section epitomized at the exposition. The people of Atlanta are spending one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to get this show ready, and every accom odation will be offered to visitors and exhibitors. They furnish this mone\ themselves and ask for uo outside help, and are projecting preparations on a scale that leaves little hope ot the re turn of a dollar invested. All they ask is that the towns and cities throughout the Piedmont region tuke advantage of the opportunity thus offered and make such a show of their resources as will confirm the lesson first taught by the Cotton exposition in this city. Applica tion from exhibitors from the and west are already overwhelming. Every building that can possibly be erected can be filled with fine exhibits from beyond the Ohio or the Potomac. The direct ors, however, are anxious that the Piedmont region shall come to the front and take first place in the exposition, which primarily is for its benefit. It is necessary that applications for space should be made promptly. The directors have already provided onej hundred and fifty thousand square feet of space. If it is necessary to have more buildings in order to accomodate exlfibi tors this tact should be known ns soon as possible. Atlanta's whole heart is in the enterprise, and her whole p<*ople are ready to back the directors in anything that, is necessary to make it a complete success. The directors from president down are working without salary and giving their whole time to the work. Now, let every city, every town, every community, every individual in the Pied mont region that has anything that would be interesting to show, or that gives gjj idea of the riches of this section Undoubtedly the richest section of the republic, send forward at one# his ap plication for space, stating exactly what he proposes to show and exactly the space he needs. The Cotton exposition found it necessary during the last month to decline ya many exhibits as they had already exhibited, it being impossible to erect new buildings in time for their ac commodation. It is earnestly hoped that the Piedmont exposition will not have to curtail its show in the same way.

He was seut there by the Pitts burg iron manufacturers, who hud be come somewhat alarmed by the iron boom in the South. He reports as fol lows: “The fever to build in those states is almost unparalleled. Capitalists from the West, tin* North and even from Eng land are rushing in to build iron works of every description, wherever they can secures a foothold of available territory. In the time I was there I heard of fifty corporations with plans for building in the near future. At West Nashville alone there were thirteen, among which were bolt works, iron furnaces and steel works. Some time ago the town had a public sale on lots for building purposes. In three days it has realized $275,000 and that town is but newly laid out. The West Nashville Steel. Iron and Charcoal Company is now building two furnaces, with a capacity of 180 tons each, At Sheffield, Ala., the Tennessee Coal and Iron Railway Company is building a furnace of 140 tons capacity. At Annis ton, Ala., the Noble brothers are build ing a furnace. At Bessemer, Ala., the I)e Bardlebain Iron Company is building two furnaces. At Woodstock, Ala., the iron company of that name is also build ing a furnace in Birmingham. The Ten nessee Coal and Iron (Company, with a capital of #1,000,000, is putting up four new furnaces with a capacity of 990 tons a day. Chattanooga is to-day congrat ulating herself on having the first steel rail mill in the South. It is called the Roan Iron Company, and the mill was put in operation last week. Louisville, the Union Pipe Company has just erected anew cast-iron pipe works. This con veys but a faint idea,” continued Mr. McKnight, “of the craze which is possessing capitalists to invest in the Southern iron business. The country is literally alive, and even the natives are forming companies to build works.” A Good “Morrel” Town. From Tid Hits ] A Boston woman wrote to the mayor of anew town in Wyoming, asking him for information regarding the state of society in his town, as she contemplated going there for the benefit of the health of her children. On receiving his reply she concluded to remain in Boston, for awhile longer. The mayor wrote: “As for sowciety, it is bang up. This is amity morrel town, considerin that there's sixty-nine saloons to a popyla lion of 2,000. But every saloon has a sine up sayiu: “All fitin must be done outside.

Fortin-Herr rnann, the inventor, writes from Paris, May 21, to P. T. Barnum, of this city, as follows: I presume that you will have read, in the political or special palters, of M. Fort in-Herrmann's newly invented cable. This cable allows to telephone to any distance in the world; and for this reason, as well ns on account of its esjH*cial durability, it has ls*en adopted by the French Government. By the same cable an “audition” Qf the Paris Grand Opera has been transmitted to the King of Belgium in Brussels. lam of the opinion that transmitting the Paris Grand Oj*era every night to America, say to New York, would Is* a profitable bus iness. The cost of cable from Paris to New York, allowing 200 persons to hear at the same time, as distinctively as if they was in the Paris Opera House, would be about #15,000,000. l-et us say that they will lie charged for hearing one act $5 only, which will make for 200 , persons: #I,OOO for each net: this will make for four acts (there are many operas with five acts), #4.000 every night, say #1,450,000 a year.. This sum is highly sufficient to cover the interests and amortization on the in vested capital: sad as tin* i*rfonnaiiv at the opera takes four hours the re maining twenty hours of the day may be used for business and other telephonic communications between Europe mud America, which in Ctct, wifi constitute the main profit.

However, the committee devel oped the fact that white pupils were al lowed to attend with the blacks. The committee was told that the whites were children of members of the faculty and the professor cheekily assured the com mittee that more whites would be taken if they saw fit.

Try it, HAUD-HEARTED KNAPP, He Even Squnder* the Estate of a De ceased Brother. The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma con Telegraph, under date of 14th inst., says of R. H. Knapp,the real estate man of Atlanta, who failed and disappeared, a few months since: The aged father of R. H. Knapp, of Toronto, Canada, is in the city. He came here to look after the estate of a son who died in Florida several years since. R. H. Knapp was made adminis trator on his brother’s estate. He gave a bond signed by Mr. Win. H. McNaught, his father-in-law, and took charge ot the property. This was five years ago. The returns were made yearly to the court in Flori da, and the relatives of the deceased thought the money was being lawfully used. When the intelligence of Knapp's crimes and flight reached Canada ids relatives declined for some time to credit the reports. The reports being con firmed, steps were taken to find out what disposition Knapp had made of his brother’s projierty. It was ascertained that not a dollar wus left—that all had been squandered by It. 11. Knapp. The estate was valued at #15,000. Learning of this, the father decided to visit Atlanta and investigate personally. He got here a few days ago, and it was not long before he found out that the administrator’s bond which R. H. Knapp had given was a forgery. Mr. McNaught had never signed it. The family of the dead son is left ]**n niless. The father does not know the wherea bouts of his son. He says that he has not been heard from since he left Atlanta, and that it is all a mistake that he went to Canada. Girin be Cautious Girls beware of transient young men. Never suffer the address of straugers. Recollect one good steady farmer’s boy or industrious mechanic is worth more than all the floating trash in the world. The allurements of a dandy Jack, with a gold about his neck, a walking stick in his paw, and a brainless though fancy skull, can never make up the loss of a kind father's home, a mother’s counsel and the society of brothers and sisters. These affections last, while that of such a man is lost at the want of the honeymoon. Girls beware! Take heed lest ye, fall into the“snare of the fowler.” Too many have been already taken from a kind father's home and a good moth er's counsel, and made the victim of pov erty and shame and disgrace, and then thrown upon their own resources, to si>end their few remaining days in grief and sorrow, while the brainless in mak ing its circuits around the world, bring ing to its ignoble with all that may Is* allured by his deceitful shares, and many a fair one to the shame of his artful vil lianv. KEEP OUT OF THE PAST. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.] Keep out of the past! For its high wa xs Are damp with malarial gloom; Its gardens are sere and its for rests are drear. And everywhere moulders a tomb. Who seeks to regain its lost pleasures Finds only a rose turned to dust.. And its storehouse of wonderful treasures Is covered and coated with rust. Keep out of the past! It is haunted, He who in its avenue gropes Shall find there the ghost of a joy prized the most, And a skeleton throng of dead hopes. In place of its beautiful rivers Lie pools that are stagnant with slime, And those graves gleaming white in the phos phorous light Cover dreams that were slain in their prime. Keep out of the past! It is lonely And barren and black to the view; Its fires has grown cold and its stories are old. Turn, turn to the present, the new! To-day leads you up to the hill-tops That are kissed by the radient sun ; To-day shows no tomb—all life’s hopes are in bloom — And to-day holds a prize to be won,
