But we cannot speak too severely of the ex treme vulgarity that has been mani fested in many quarters, by low-toned and ill-bred people, who have evinced a most trivial curiosity to learn the de tails of the vulgar affair. Elopement.—The wife of the editor of this paper eloped with her coachman early last evening. We have been made disgusted by the vulgar curiosity of well-meaning friends who, strange as it may seem, actually take an inter est in the event. Our long journalistic experience has taught us never to manifest an interest in anything. Young Man, Get Married. St. Paul Globe. Young man, the large majority of you are hovering around on the verge of matrimony, shivering like a mouse work and should be sent out in the d.ull dayfc when a customer hks to be knocked down with hard facts and kicked insensible by bankrupt reduc tions, and dragged in with ir resistible slaughter of prices, be fore he will spend a cent. That’s the. aim and end of an advertisement, and if you ever open a store, don’t try to get them to come when they are al ready sticking out of the windows, but give them your advertisement right be tween the eyes, in the dull season, and you will wax rich. Write this down where you will fall over it every day. The time to draw business is when you want business, and not when you have more business than you can attend to already. THE ENIGMA. What the Scientific World Wants to Know—A $100,000 Offer. We have published in our columns from time to time different advertise ments in regard to Bright’s Disease *' j twentv-five-cent periodical. “I don’ti colored terrier and afraid to step off. j and its cures, er, planter, mechanic, he finds him " j to order ft though, without first The great majority of you know just What is this terrible disease ? self better off than lie ever was as j consulting my husband.” This bus- ’ —" politician, and he has no hankenn in ® t< ’; band was'weli-to-do and liberal in pro- girl who would marry you at a second’s go back. This is the whole secret ot j vid - f or bis f :tm ilv; the lady, intelli- notice, but you are afraid you couldn’t the decrease in the negro vote, He is I - - . , .... , „ , - , too busy to vote, like many an intelli gent, educated, rich white man North and South. I do*not say that this sort of thing is right for rich or poor, white or black, North or South, but it is a fact. During the war an attempt was made to recruit Massachusetts regi ments among the negroes of South Carolina. Some of the youngest darkies on a certain plantation were disposed to “jine the cavalry,” but before enlisting they sought the advice of the Uncle Remus of the plantation. “Wat’s it all about?” he asked. “Why,” said one, “de Yankees is fighting to free us, and the Confeds is fighting to keep us slaves.” “And it’s all about you, is it?” “Yes.” “Well,” said Uncle Remus, “it minds me ob two dogs fighting ober a bone. But I nebber heard of de bone fighting—and you is de bone.” Now that about expresses the idea of the average darkey. Before a Con- gressoinal election several years ago Smalls, of South Carolina, came up here to see Edward McPherson, Secre tary of the Republican Congressional Committee. “I want some money?” he said. “What for ?” asked McPherson, “what do you want of money in a dis trict overwhelmingly Republican like yours ?” “AYliy,” explained Smalls, “I spent all my money getting the nominatiion and now I haven’t any money forelection expenses.” “Such as what ?” asked McPherson. “Why,” said Smalls, “the men who peddle the tickets and challenge voters and do all the other workaround the polls.” “But I should think,” said McPherson, “you could get men to do that for nothing. Don’t the Democrats?” “Yes,” said Smalls, “the Democrats do, but our fellows won’t unless they’re paid for it,” In other words, if there be no money in it they are indifferent, and now tjiftt the most ignorant of their preachers, who are more influential with them than any other set of men, have got a good grip on the idea that the Democrats do not propose to put them back in slavery, they do not y;jp‘ a straw for the success of the Re publican party, Oh the other hand, the whites'.care just as much as ever for the success of the Democratic party, so that all predictions that the Republican party will carry Southern States in the next national election are absurdly nonsensical. Blanche K. Bruce, ex- Senator from Mississippi, is the only one of the Congressional negroes who has amounted to anything, and he is al most white. He was appointed Regis ter of the Treasury after he left the Senate, resigned when ^ velan d (Arne and ha* been lecturing with success ever since. “Bob" Elliott of south Carolina, who was a genuine negro, was the smartest and most unscrupulous of all these statesmen. He got into Lorn isiana polities and was finally tripped Up by William Pitt Kellogg so badly that it broke his political back. J05&ph H. Rainey, of South Carolina, a mod est mulatto, is oeeasiuually seen here. He holds some government inspector ship, I think. But all the rest have gone glimmering into obscurity. j gent and educated.

Doubtless she told him about it when he came home, and thus strengthened his con viction that she required money only when she asked directly for it and for a specified object. Within the ordinary round of house hold duties there are few women who are not necessitated to do a deal of in dependent thinking and of acting upon their thoughts. Families there are where the husband and father selects each roast and every slice of steak; where he personally superintends the purchase of each pound of butter and decides whether the baby’s cloak shall be of flannel or cashmere. But this is the exceptional household. The aver age woman takes charge of all the housekeeping details and expenditures, generally displaying far better sense in doing so than her lord. The instant, however, that she steps beyond the prescribed domain of buying for the ta ble she halts and turns round for the masculine head of the family to lead her. The minds of women are quite as capable in all the requirements of or dinary life as those of men. But the average woman doesn’t begin to use her mind nor apply it to the needs of her life until long after the period when it should have been in active op eration. . The Coining Newspaper. Exchange. Murder.—We are informed, on cred ible authority, that a murder occurred in this city last week. Although, on general principles, we are opposed to personalities, we venture to give the names of the parties participating in thb affair.

This may seem to you to be a small be ginning, and so it is; but, once married, the money that you now throw; away in your endeavors to quiet your restless soul will go into furniture and little nick-nacks, and you will soon wake up to the fact that you are the owner of a home, and that word means a great deal to a young fellow who has been swimming around in the ocean of life ever since he was big enough to shave himself, with his chin just above the water. Just as soon as a man can stand up before the world, point to a pleasant home presided over by a wife who makes a harness of smiles with which the husband draws his burden of daily cares, and say; “They are mine,” he jerks his head up in the air about six inches and goes prancing around like a yearling colt in a new pasture. Get married, young man, and if you use common sense in picking out a wife you are sure to make a success of the venture. The world owes you a living, but it isn’t going to press it upon you. You will find that it is just as easy to feed two mouths as one, providing the extra mouth is owned by your "wife. * * * There is. nothing this side of heaven that can smooth out the wrin kles in a man’s disposition, or knock down the obstructions that get into his path as he tramps along this brief pro bation of life, so perfectly as the sym- jf&tliy and affection of a true, noble, self-sacrificing woman, and I am eccen tric enough to believe that the majori ty ofpvomen are built that way.

A Philadelphia bride was reported a rm jl while ago as saying that she had receiv- Cdtate Nation of ed over 200 wedding presents, “and not Stingy With Their Wives. Chicago Kews. Are most men stingy with their wives? Are the majority so selfish that they don’t allow them a reasona ble amount of money for miscellaneous expenditure ? There is no doubt of it. Averagely, it’s an unthinking stingi ness and an unconscious selfishness. Neither is the average man altogether to blame for it. His wife is more to blame than he. ed tube casts. As soon as this begins to take place it is only a question of how fast decom position goes on before the disease re sults fatally. If the proper remedies are taken before final decomposition or waste of these tubes commences or be comes too far advanced, that is the on ly and last chance for relief. It is at this point or before that Warner’s safe cure proves so beneficial, and may cure or stop the wasting away of the kid neys if it has not advanced too far. The most remarkable thing of all our investigation is the fact that the pa tient with Bright’s disease has no ex clusive symptoms, but has the symp toms of every common disease. First, he may possibly feel a dull pain in his back, generally upon one side, which does not debar him from his usu al business routine. After a time he may be'tin Jo feel neuralgic pains, or have a slight attack of what he may call rheumatism, headache, with high or dark colored urine, with an unpleas ant sensation in its passage, and after standing showing an unnatural condi tion. Later on, come tired feelings, loss of ambition or vigor, or loss of oi failing eyesight, which is very common, with a distressed condition of the ^tomach. Anyone of these symptoms is liable to occur. This no doubt explains why the pro prietors of Warner’s safe cure are cub ing so many diseases. By regulating and building up the kidneys, symptoms of general ill-health disappear. They justly accuse the medical profession of treating the effects and not the cause. Finally, if this disorder is neglected the patient either dies of apoplexy, pneu monia, heart disease, blood poison, con sumption, or any other disease that the system is most subject to. There appears to be amrm CD® cause for nearly every other ailment of the a single piece of silver nor a single lamp human system, but up to the present . • nwlniV in the lot.” Her case was lamentable, time no one has been able to fully ac- Although apologizing for t • f —j ,, business is sad- count for this terrible malady.

A wedding has come to be simply a dona tion visit, such as churches occasionally make to a pastor to piece out his salary. The true spirit of gift-making is lost sight of. This must necessarily be the case where several hundred guests make a present merely because it is a fashion, and because they would be thought nig gardly if they failed to follow it. We all follow it, but the real motive, if it could be analyzed, would be found to be a selfish and cowardly one. This is about the case when analyzed: “I can’t afford to make this present; it will pinch me financially to do so. But neither can I afford not to doit- I should be considered mean, instead of having the extreme satisfaction of being thought to be as liberal as Mr. and Mrs. Blank. This gift-makmg is a terrible infliction, but one can’t ignore it.” There is no heart in such a gift, and no sense. Where one hasacirele of several hundred friends, the‘ question of ex pense for the carrying on of this custofli becomes serious for every’ one whose income is limited.

They were, to use a vulgar phrase, ! "burned Up,” and no trace of them as distinctive personalities has yet been discovered. It is said 'that the con flagration was started By Mr. Elihu J.
