Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lecture.
"Mr. Caudle has nol acted ‘like a husband'
tit the wedding Dinner. ”
We give our readers this week the bene
fit of Mrs. Caudle’s lectures. It is true they
are very old; we copy them from a paper
published nearly thirty years ago. But
as Mrs. Candle was very much like a wo
man, and Mr. Candle’s submissiveness was
like most of men of the present day, we
think an important lesson may be learned
by both husband: and wives. We think
husbands had betterstayat home of nights
and cheerfully submit to a balmoral ad
ministration.
“Ah me! It's no useVishing-none at all;
but I do Wish that yesterday 14 years
Would come back again. Little did I
think Mr. Caudle, when ydn brought me
home from dhutch, your lawful weded
wife-—little I say, did I think that I should
keep my wedding dinner in the manner I
have to-day. Fourteen years ago! Yes, I
see you now in your blue ednt with bright
buttons ami yinlr white watered satin
waistcoat, ahd a moss rosebud in your
button hole, which you said was like me.
What? You never talked such nonsense? Ha!
Mr. Caudle, you don’t know what you
talked that day—hot I do. Yea, and you
then sat at the table as if your face, I may
aay, was buttered with happiness, and—
what? No, Mr. Caudle, dont say that; I
have not wiped the butter off—not I. If
you, above all men, are not happy, you
ought to be, gracious knows!
■'Yen, T will talk of fourteen yeiirs ago.
Ha! yon sat beside me then, and pickl'd
out all sorts of nice things for me. Y'ou’il
have given me pearls and diamonds to eat
if I could have swallowed ’em. Yes, I say
yon sat beside mo, and —what do you talk
abont? You cauld’nt sit by me to-day?
That’s nothing at all to do with it. But
its so like you. I can’t speak but you fly
off to something else. Ha! and when the
health of the young couple was drank,
what a speech you made then! It was de
licious! How you made eveiy body cry,
as if their hearts were breaking; and I re
collect it as if it was yesterday, how tin
tears ran down dear father’s nose, and how
dear mother nearly went into a tit Dear
souls! They litilo thought with all your
fine talk, how you’d use me. How have
yon need me? Oh, Mr. Caudle, how can
you ask the question? It’s well for you I
can’t see you blush. How have you used
me.
“Well, that the same tongue could make
a speech like that, aud then talk as it did
to-day. Ho te Hid you talk? Why, shame
fully. What Aid you say about your wed
ed happiness? Why,nothing. What did you
nay about your wife? Worse than nothing;
just as if she was a bargain you were sor
ry for, but were obliged to make the best
of it. What do you say? And bad is the
best? If you say that again, Caudle, I’ll
rise from my bed. You didn’t say it.
What, then did you say? Something very
like it, I know. Yes, a pretty piece ol
thanks for a husband! And everybody
could see that yon didn’t care a pin for
me; and that’s why you had ’em here;
that’s why yon invited ’em, to insult me to
their faces. What! I made you invite
’em? Oh, Caudle what an aggravating man
you are.
“j suppose you’ll say next I made
you invite Miss Pettyman! Oh’ you,
don’t tell me that her brother brought her
without your knowing it. What ? Did’nt
I hear him say so? Of course I did; but do
you suppose I’m quite a fool? Do you
think I don’t know that that was all set
tled between you? And she must be a
nice person to come unasked to a woman’s
house. But I know why she earue. Oh yes;
she came to look about her. What do I
mean? Oh, the meaning’s plain enough.
She came to fcee how she should like the
rooms—how she should like my seat at
the fire-place—how she—and if it isn’t
enough to break a mothers’ heart to be
treuted so—how she should like my dear
children.
“Now, its no use your bouncing about—
but of course that’is it; I can’t mention
Miss Pettyman, but you fling about as if
you were in a fit. Of course that shows
that there is something in it. Othervpise,
why should you disturb yourself? Do you
think I didn’t see her looking at the cy
phers on the spoons as if she already saw
mine scratched out aud her’s there? No,
I shan’t drive you mad, Mr. Caudle; and
if Ido it’s your own fault. No other man
Would treat the wife of his bosom in—
•what do you say? You might as well
have married a hedgehog? Well, now it’s
come to something. But it’s always the
case! Whenever you’ve seen this Miss
Pettyman, I’m sure to be abused. A
hedgehog! A pretty thing for a woman
to be called by her husband! Now, you
don’t think I’ll lie quietly in bed and be
Called a hedgehog—do you, Mr. Caudle?
“Well, I only hope Miss Pettyman had
a good dinner, that’s all. I had none.
You know I had none—how was I to get
any? You hnow the only part of the tur
key I care for is the merry thought;' and
that, of course, went to Miss Pettyman.
Oh, I saw you put it on her plate. And
you don’t suppose, after such an insult as
that, I’d taste another thing upon the ta
*k. No, I should hope I liavo more spirit

■ than that. Yes, and you took wine with
her four times. What do you say? Only
twice? Oh, you were so lost—fascinated,
Mr. Caudle; yes, fascinated, that you
didn’t know what you did. However, I
do think while I’m alive I might be treat
ed with respect at my own table—l say
while I’m alive; for I know I shan’t last
long, and then Miss Pettymau may come
and take it all. I’m wasting daily, and no
wonder. I newer say anything about it,
but every week my gowns are taken in.
“I’ve lived to learn something, to be
sure. Miss Pettymau turned up her nose
at my custards. It isn’t sufficient that you
ore always finding fault yourself, but yon
must bring women home to sneer at my
own table. Wlint do you say* She didn't
turn up her nose? I know she did; not
but what it’s needless—Providence lias
turned it up quite enough for her Steady.
And she must give herself airs over my
custards! Oh, I saw her mincing with the
spoon as if she was chewing sand. What
do yon say? She praised my plum pud
ding? Who asked her to praise it? Like
her impudence, I think.
“Yes a pretty day I’ve passed. I shall
not forget this wedding day, I think!
And as I say, a pretty speech you made in
the way of thanks. No, Caudle, if I was
to live a hundred years —you needn’t
groan, I shall not trouble you half that
time —if I was to live a hundred years, I
should not forget it. Never! You didn’t
even so much os bring one of your chil
dren into your speech. And—dear crea
tures- what have they done to offend you?
“No, I shall not drive yotf mad. It’s you,
Mr. Candle, who’ll drive me mad; every
body says so.
“And you suppose I didn’t see how it
was muuagcd that you anil that Miss Fot
tyman wete always partners at whist. How
was it managed? Why plain enough. Of
course you packed the cards, and out what
you liked. You’d settle that between you.
Yes, and when she played a trick, instead
of leading off a trump—she play whist,
indeed—what did you say to her, when she
found it was wrong? Oh—it was impossi
ble that her heart should mistake! Aud
this, Mr. Caudle, before people, with your
own wife in the room.
“And Miss Pettyman—l won’t hold my
tongue. I will talk of Miss Pettyman,
who’s she, indeed, that I shouldn’t talk of
her? I suppose you think she sings?
What do you say? She sings like a mer
maid? Yes, very; wry like a mermaid;
for she never sings hut she exposes’ her
self. She might, I think, have choscD
another song. “I love somebody,” in
deed; as if I didn't know who was mean’t
by that “somebody;” and all in the room
knew it, and it was done lor —nothing
else.
“However, Mr. Caudle, as my mind’s
made up, I shall say no more about the
matter to-night, but try to go to sleep. ”
“And to my astonishment and grati
tude,” writes Caudle, “she kept her
word.”
Married Life.
This is good counsel from a wife and
mother:
“I try to make myself and all around
me agreeable. It will not do to leave a
man to himself till he comes to you, to
take no pains to attract him, or to appear
before him with a long face. It is not so
difficult a mutter as you think, dear child,
to behave to a husband so that he shall re
main forever in some measure a husband.
I am an old woman, but you can still do
what you like; a word from you in the
right time will not fail of its effects, what
need have you to play the suffering vic
tim? The tear of a loving girl, says an
old hook, is like a dewdrop on a rose; but
that on the cheek of a wife is a drop of
poison to a husband. Try to be cheerful
and contented, and your husband will be
so; and when you have made him happy
you will become so, not in appearance
only, but in reality. The skill required is
not so great. Nothing flatters a man so
much as the happiness of his wife; he is
always proud of himself as the author of
it. As soon as you are cheerful you will
be lively and alert and every moment will
afford you an opportunity to let fail an
agreeable word. Your education, which
gives you an immense advantage, will
greatly assist you.
Anew cereal has been grown in Oregon
and the people are puzzled as to whether
it belongs to the wheat family, or more
nearly resembles rye, barley or oats, opin
ions being very nearly equally divided.
Prom seven to ten stalks grow from one
root, to a height of about four feet, and
these stalks, or straws, are thin and hard.
The radicales are tough, and spread
widely. The heads are six inches in length
and covered with a heavy beard, each fila
ment being five inches long. The grain
is double the length of a kernel of wheat,
and instead of being firm and compact, is
hollow, the cavity containing glutinous
matter. While tho grain bears a closer
resemblance to wheat than anything else,
the straw looks more like that of rye or
barley. Its origin is somewhat peculiar,
the first grain having been taken fron the
stomach of a goose, by a farmer in Tilla
mook county, nearly three years ago. Ho
was struck with the appearance, and
planted it, and the succeeding mason
sowed the product. Bfe distributed a por
tion of the second crop among a few friends
in different jmrts of the State, who this
year raised small quantities. It will re
quire another year to determine the value
of the grain.
QUITMAN, GA„ SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8.1873.
The Dutchman’s Insurance Policy.
A good story is told of a Dutchman by
the name of Smidt, who had taken the
precaution to insure thh life of his wife
for $5,000, and his stable for S9OO, beloiv
ing the former might die and the latter
be burnt, and he could not get along
without some compensation for the loss.
Both policies had been taken from the
same agent. In a few mouths after the
i stable hod been insured it was destroyed
|by fire. Smidt quietly notified tie agent,
and liiiited to hith that he would expect
the S9OO at the earliest possible momeiit.
The ageht at once sent a carpenter to as
certain the cost of erecting anew stable of
the Same dimensions, having ascertained
that the property was insured for rfciore
than it was worth. The builder reported
that he could replace the stable with now
material for SSOO, but unfortunately there
was an ordinance preventing tlio erection
of frame buildings—the old stable having
been of wood. He was asked to estimate
the cost of a brick stable, aud reported
the nmonnt of $750. The agent then no
tified Smidt that he would build him a
new brick stable in the place of the old
frame one, hut Smidt became very indig
nant at the proposition, saying:
“1 do not understand ilis insurance bus
iness. I pay you for nine hundred dollar,
and when my slitable burn down yon make
mo anew one. I not want anew shtu
blo. I want nine hundred dollar.”
The agent reasoned with Smidt, hut all
to no purpose. When the stable was
about finished Smidt went to consult a
lawyer, thinking he could still get the
amount of the policy, besides having the
new stable.
The lawyer, however, informed him
that the company had a right to make
good the loss by building anew stable,
and expressed surprise at his bringing suit
against them.
“But,” said Smidt, “I insure for nine
hundred dollar, and dis feller put
up and: m shtable for seven hundred and
fifty dollar—l do not understand de insur
ance business.”
Finding that ho could not compel the
payment by law, lie became disgusted with
the insurance business altogether. Calling
upon the agent, Smiilt suiil:
“Mr. Agent, I vant you to stop lie in
surance on mine vife. Ido not pay any
more monish dat way; I not understand
dis insurance business.”
Agent, surprised: “Why Mr. Smidt you
are doing a very foolish tiling. You have
paid considerable upon this policy already
and if your wife should die, you will get
$5,000.”
“Yah, dat ish vat you tell me now”
said Smiilt. “Veil I pays you ou my
shtable, you say I get nine hundred dol
lars if it burnt down. So it was burnt,
and you not give me mine monish. You
say, O, dat was an old frame shtable, and
you not pay me mine nine hundred dollar.
Ven mine vifo dies, den you say to me, O,
she vas an old Dutch woman; she not
wort anydings; I get you anew English
vife! And so I lose mine five thousand
dollars. You not fool Smiilt again. I not
understand ilis insurance business.”
A Liverpool journal points out to its
readers that there has been a very import
ant invasion of American insurance com
panies in Great Britain within the last few
months. It takes no alarm at it, though
it regards the fact as rather remarkable
that capital should come from the new
world for investment in the old. In fact,
it findH some distinctive merits in the
American system of insurance. It par
ticularly commends the separation of life
and fire insurance, which are commonly
united in the British companies, taking
the excellent ground that life policy-hold
ers should not have their interests imper
illed by extensive fires, such as those of
Chicago, Boston and Baltimore, which
may occur at any time. It recommends
that the separation should be enforced by
lav in England. It also commends the
law of New York, Massachusetts and some
other States, which requires a dc 'jyaij-. of
a large amount of money for the protec
tion of the insured, and it finds the official
auditing of accounts a great and practical
safeguard against fraud.
The Kat.
The wild kat is about the size ov the
average dog, and has a gray color.
They have a short tale, but whether it
grows short, or haz been abridged by ack
sideqt or kalkulashun, I kno not.
I never yet saw a wild kat with a tale
more than 3 inches in length.
They are unfriendly kusses, and won’t
pay any man tew foster.
They are crosser and more snappish
than a step-mother.
They make a good kind ov kage animal,
and will do tew shoot at with a rifle, but
it ain’t helthy fur the kat or yu tew wound
one and not kill him.
When they cum down a tree with a rifle
ball in them, and go for you, it iz the right
time tew leave.
Two wild kats at night, in a deep dark
wood, responsive from the top of ajaeent
trees, iz one of the most solium songs i
ever listened tew.
It will make every hair of a wig stan
on eend.
An alliterative female letter-writer says
that, if she could divest herself of her
troubles and petticoats and boa man
twelve months, she would choose for that
space to occupy the “pulpit, pantaloons
and perquisites” of Henry Ward Beecher.
.! . AIMi
Monkey SSgtiertV.
It was a wild aud dreary part of the coun
try, in the plains of India, while journey
ing, that one day a friend and myself sat
down under the shade of a bunyon tree;
mid wo were enjoying a meal of various
edibles, when we were disturbed by the
arrival and noise of a troop of large black
faoed monkeys; the brunches overhead
literally swarmed with them. They looked
on us as interlopers, no doubt; and for
Some time their gestures appeared so me
nacing that wo were apprehensive they
would dispute ground with us.
We had just riseufrom Our meal when,
to our surprise, one of the monkeys (a
young one) fell down from a high branch
at our foot. It was quite dead. The
clamor that arose aboVo us on the occur
rence of thfS calamity was deafening. The
whole assembly of monkeys clustered to
gether for a confab. Long aud loud were
the chatterings, aud various the grimaces
of the tribe, each individual vieing with
the other in the loudness of liis tongue.
Their looks and gestures made it apparent
that they suspected us as being the cause
of the death of their juvenilo comrade.
But we were unarmed, and the good
sense of the monkeys seemed to tell them
that there must be some other culprit.
Having como to this conclusion, ono mon
key, apparently the senior and leader of
the whole tribe, separated himself from
the rest, ran to the spot on the branch
whence the young monkey lmd fallen, ex
amined it carefully, smelt the brunch,
aud then glided nimbly down one
of the pillars or pendant roots, anil came
to the corpse of the monkey, took it up
and examined it minutely, particularly
the shoulder, whero there was a small
wound. Instinct immediately turned suspi
cion into certainty. He placed the corpse
ou the ground again, and turning his gaze
in every direction, endeavored to pierce
the foliage in searee of the murderer.
After a little while something seemed to
rivet his attention. In an instant ho hail
mounted the tree, sprung to the spot, and
with one clutch had seized a long whip
snake, which he fastened to the ground.
Now thore occurred a most curious
scene. The whole monkey rabble, follow
ing their leader, were on the ground al
most as soon as he; then as many' as could
ranged themselves on each side of the
snake. Each monkey put his hand on the
reptile, clutching hold of the skin of the
back tightly. At a given signal the exe
cutioners dnxfged the withering snake
backward and forward on the ground till
nothing was left of the murderer but the
backbone. The mode of the execution
was effectual, and in the way it was carried
out, showed the clear understanding
which the monkey language conveys.

The Japanese at Table.
If bread is the staff Iff life with Euro :
peans, so is rioe with Asiatics. It is the
staple food of the people, and with a little
soy or pickle, or some other simple condi
ment, is often the only fooil of the lower
classes in Japan from mouth’s end to
month’s end. They do not rejoice in the
knives, forks and spoons of civilization,
nor uso their fingers like the East Indi
ans, but they use n couple of skewer-liko
sticks which they call hashi, and wo cal)
chop-sticks, and uncommonly deftly they
apply them to all the necessary purposes.
Foreigners oan manage them only after
much practice, and some cun never get
the knack.
It is strikingly curious to nee them eat
for the first time. The rice is brought up
iu a beautifully clean tub, which holds
enough for the day's consumption. It is
ns often sorved odd as hot, and the modus
operandi is ns follows: We will suppose it
is a simple meal of the simplest classes.
A small table about nine to twelve inohes
square and six to nine inches high is
placed sometimes in the middle of tho
feeders, sometime* one to ouch person.
On this table are two or three small dishes
—perhaps ono has some slices of oolil fish,
another some pickles, lily root, green gin
gor aud horseradish, another :i little soy
and so on. A maid-servant fills a small
basin, about the size of a breakfast enp,
with Gozen (rice) from the tub, anil offer
iug ono to each person, it is taken in the
left hand, and being held close to the
month, the contents are thrust from the
basin into tho mouth most cleverly; ever
and anon there is a pause to take a slice of
the fish, which is ronilorcd more palatablo
by being dipped in the soy. This, with
an ocecasional peck at the other little
dishes, forms the repast. Of course,
richer peoplo have richer food; but al
though sometimes their meals consist of
many courses, and all beautifully served,
thoy take only a peck at each, and have a
considerable interval botween the courses.
It is unusual to drink with tho meal, but u
little warm water suffices at its close, the
richer folks taking an occasional cup of
saki wine made from rioe, between times.
If the food of tho common people is
simple in the extreme, the entertainments
of the rich are sometimes masterpieces of
artistic excellence, both in the prepara
tion of the food and its display. Some
times the guests may sit round a scenio
arragement as of a luxurious island or a
beautiful domain in petto, all tho dishos
being arranged os parts of the scene. It
is quite unique, and different from any
thing seen elsewhere.
White Underclothing Preferable.
The Herald of Health recommends white
underclothing, as not only more healthful,
but on account of its not radiating the
heat of the body as some other colors do.
Another strong incentive is the avoidance
of possible poisoning, resulting from dele
terious dyes. The Journal of Chemistry
gives an instanco of the poisonous effect
of aniline colors upon the skin in the ex
perience of a gentleman from Byfield. He
had a few days previous purchased some
new undershirts of cotton, colored with
various tints, among which aniline red
predominated. In a short time after put
tingou the garment a peculiar eruption, of
an irritating nature, appeared on the por
tion of the body, covered by the cloth.
The effects were not merely local, hut to a
considerable extent constitntional, pain
and uneasiness being experienced in the
back and lower extremities. In proof that
the eruption was caused by the dye colors,
it may be stated that a portion of the gar
ment about the upper part of the chest
was lined with linen on the under side,
and whenever this came in contact with
the skin no eruption or redness appeared.
It is not probable, the Journal remarks,
that the number of persons is largo who
possess such idiosyncrasies of constitution
as to lie easily poisoned by dye collors but
that there arc some does not admit of a
doubt.
Bead an Houit a Day. —There was a
lad who, at the age of fourteen, was ap
prenticed to a soap dealer. One of his
resolutions was to read an hour a day or at
least at that rate. He hud an old silver
watch left him by his uncle, by which
be timed his reading, He stayed seven
years with his i mis ter, and it was said
when ho was twenty-one that he knew as
much as the young squire did. Now let
us soo how much time, ho had to read in,
seven yoars, at the rate of one hour a day.
It would b 0.2,555 hours, which ut the rate
of eight hours a day, would be equal to
three hundred and ten days; to forty weeks
nearly one year’s reading. It is surely
worth trying. See what you cau do, Be
gin now. In after years you will look
back upon the task as the most pleasant
and profitable you over performed.
A few days since, five geese, owned by a

each almost the same amount of the pre

the miners had Keen sluicing and it is pre
sumed that the quicksilver attached to it
caused their death.
