Miss Carson has given the follow in,
recipe for cooking husbands, which
we hope all who have an occasion to
use may find successful:
“A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by mismanagement. Some
women go about as if their husbands
were bladders, and blow them' up
others keep them constantly in hot
water; others let them freeze by care
lessness and indifference. Some keep
them in a stew by irritating ways and
words. Others roast them. Some keep
them irrpickleal! their lives. It cannot

Senator Call, of Florida, says Sen

is a matter of profound regret. He
certainly was one of the strongest of
the Southern Senators, and the record
he has made is a brilliant one.

The attitude of the Senate, it was
hoped by the Democrats, would teach
the President the falsity of his view of
the civil service law, and constrain him
to alter Ids views as expressed to Cur
tis, ill ignorance of the will of bis par
ty, but neither the malignity of the
Semite, nor the “discontent” of friends
can change his course.
The Republican press, in order to
place the President in a false light be
fore the country, pretends that he
withholds all information in regard to
ap]>oiiitinents. Such is not the issue.
The quarrel Is over removals. The
Senate has nothing to do with remov

creating the civil service commission
gave the Senate concurrent jurisdiction
over removals as well as appointments.
Yesterday we picket 1 up the Atlan

“Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes
from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those
who diffuse it. It proves nothing hut
the had taste of the smokers.” .So
wrote George Eliot, u “ileroiida,* a.nl
we are all ready to respond to the sen
timent. We all Condemn gossipping
and yet there is no single sin so uni
versal^ nor one which is so effective
in separating friends, blasting homes
and blighting hearts. He is gone,
says Milton, iu “.Samson Agonisie>’ —
“he is gone, and who knows how lie
may report thy words by adding fuel
to the flame.” This is the respect
that makes gossip so deadly in its ef
fect: we repeat with addition*. Mrs.
Openhc&rt makes some innocent re
mark about a friend. Mrs. Gadabout
takes up the remark, barbs it, poisons
it, and sends it to rankle in the friend’s
heart. The audition does the damage.
Unfortunately this disturber of the
peace, this destroyer of friendship, is
not of recent birth. Percy, iu his An
ecdotes, tells that it wits made the sub
ject of legal penalties at St. Helena,
where the following order was pro
mulgated in 1789: “Whereas, several
Idle, gossipping womeu make it their
business to go iroiu house to house,

bearing, mischief-making, scolding,
or any other stu.li vice, they shall be
punished by ducking or w hipping, or
such other punishment as their crimes
or transgressions shall deserve or the
council think fit to inflict.” That
was in 1789, but the vice aimed at is ot
far earlier origin, in his history of
England, Ilume informs us that dur
ing some‘trade’ disorders that occurred
in Loudon in the year ir>17, a procla
mation was issued that “women should
not meet togetiier to babble and talk
and all men should keep their wive.*
iu their houses.” The ancients also
were annoyed by tit's pest of society.
Alcibiades owned a very large and
beautiful dog, which cost him a great
suut of money. One day he called a
servant and ordered him to cut oft* the
dog's tail. Tuc servant was amazed.
What! cut off his tail? Such a beauti
ful tail? Aye, said Alcibiades, it must
come oil*, ami so the deed was done.
11 is friends were astonished at his
strange conduct and told him that
everybody in Athens were talking
about it. He laughed, and replied:
“That is just w hat I w anted. It will
keep them from talking about each
other.” We are not to suppose that
this pernicious habit is confuted to
women. As far back as 411 B. C., we
find men smoking the “dirty pipe of

Miss Palms is a brunette, a bone thirty
• ears ot age, not remarkable for facial

woman; modest, very pious and char
itable in au unostentatious way.
She lives somewhat secluded,
seldom going into society. The Senator
saw Miss Palms first In Washington
in the winter of 1882. ^ The following
summer while ou a visit in Detroit he
met her at a dinner party. A day or
two afterward he called tipoti her and
proposed. She pleasantly and politely
declined the honor. He called several
times afterward, hut was tillable to see
Miss Palms. One afternoon he waited
nearly an ho.tr iu the parlor but she
did uot come. After that he ouly went
as far as the front door, which was
gently closed when the servant saw
who was on the top step. Some flow
ers were sent to the house, but not re
ceived. The postman brought several
notes, but the contents, except the
signature of the first, were not read.
The Seuator remained in Detroit two
or three weeks, but was not discourag

renewed. Xo :>trentio:> was paid to it.
Another cante and still another. Miss
Palms appealed to her father, who
wrote the Senaror in a considerate and
firm way that his attentions were very
offensive aud w’ouid uot be tolerated
any longer, intimating that if necessa

Bill Arp tells of a debating society
in his neighborhood. Their first ques
tion was, “Which was the greatest
evil, war or whisky?” Bill falls to
ruminating, and says:
Of course the whisky men gained
the case, but both sides are firm iu
their conviction. I’ve noticed that a
man can argue on one side until he
believes iu it. W hen I was a youth
we had up the question, “which*gives
us the greatest pleasure, the pursuit or
the possession of an object.” I was
then pursuing a maiden with great
alacrity and pleasing prospects and
was intensely happy in that particu
lar business, and as l had been assign
ed to that side of the question I spread
myself like a green bay tree to sustain
n»X cause. 1 dwelt upon the eager
and fascinating pleasure with which a
man pursued fame aud fortune and
how vain and empty he fouud them
when once in his possession. 1 quoted
Shakespeare and recited Cardiual
Woolsey’s soliloquy, “If I had served
my God as faithfully a» I have served
my king,” etc., and I sat down with a
modest content, for the eyes of the
maiden were upon me and I had woo
her smiles. Just then one of these
rolieking boys who never prepared
himself but just opened his mouth and
let her talk rose forward and said:
“Well, now suppose, 3Ir. President,
that Brother Arp were a pursuin’ a
pretty girl that he were in love with
just as hard as he could and
wow'll longing for hei and dying to
get her, would he druther keep on

or would he druther catch up with

It was amusing to read lately. cabled
all over the world, that 3Ir. Gladstone
kissed the Queen’s hand. The custom
of withdrawing the glove in handshak
ing is now a thing of the past. It had
its origin iu the knight of the olden
time taking off his iron gauntlet so as
not to hurt his lady’s hand, and has
gradually became an olisolete fashion,
though one yet secs a gentleman who
considers it only due a lady that he
should give her bis bare hand. A young
lady told me that she incurred the dis
pleasure of a provincial acquaintance
because she merely bowed instead of
shaking hands jwith a group of girls
with some of whom she had hut slight
acquaintance, when entering a parlor
at a country afternoon tea. They called
it “putting oil airs,” when in fact it
was their own ignorance of the social
necessities of the occasion that was at
fault. But the provincial young ladies
evidently believed in band shaking as
part of the code of manners. Yet at
this same gathering my friend said the
young people did not seem to .-ee any
impoliteness iu whispering or giggling
in the room, or rudely staring at any
dress that differed front their own style.
What a very trying ;ordeaI, too, is the
loud-voiced greeting, where your hand
is held aud inquiry made after your
welfare and that of your family so as
to be heard all over the room.
A mistake often made iti social greet
ings is that of introducing a lady to a
gentleman, which is the reverse of cor
rect. When the sex is the same, intro
duce the one you consider inferior in
point of social position or by reason of
youth, to the superior or older. When
introduced it Is etiquette to bow, but
uot to shake bauds, and it is optional
with a lady to recognize the gentleman
at the next meeting. I think I could
easily tell a flirt if 1 saw her shake
hands, for the metltodof that character
is to linger over every hand as if that
parciciiliaroue came nearest her affec
tions. In fact there is much to be learned
from human iiatttrc In the methods of

Moses didn’t have but one. King
David had several, but he was cursed

murder to get oue of them and lived
in anguish ever after, for he said,
“My sin is ever before me.” Old Sol
omon must have hud au awful time of
it, for lie had a thousand, and they
kept him so harrassed and bedeviled
that he flew to his inkstaud and wrote
that he had found one good man, but
he had not found a good woman
in a thousand. Of course
not. How could a woman be good
when she was only a thousandth part
of a wife? But Solomon repented of
Itis folly, and said it was all vanity,
aud advised all men to “live joyfully
with the wife whom thou lovest,” and
to “beware of strange women.”
1 never think of these surplus wives
who are sealed to the Mormons with
out a feeling of sadness and pity, for
every new one causes the others a pang
of shame. They are all in prison, and
their dependence is like that of a caged
bird that tamely looks to its keeper for
food. There is no escape, for a woman
is a proud creature and will suffer in
silence rather than parade her folly to
the world. Did you ever notice how a
woman wHl suffer aud be stroug, es
pecially if she has a child or children
to keep her company ?
A Very Remarkable Story*
Columbus Sou.
A gentleman who lives in the eastern
part of the county tells one of those
stories that few people will believe
“without seeing it.” He says that he
was oat iox hunting, and when the
chase was at the height of its excite
ment his horse ran into an old well
thirty feet deep. The horse was instant
ly killed by the fall, but the rider was
unhurt. The walls of the well bad caved
in at the bottom a distance of three or
four feet, and gentleman says this pre
vented getting out by digging tootliolds.
Realizing his situation, he began to call
for help at the top of his voice, but no
assistance came. He was compelled to
remain in the well all night, and the
next morning the stench arising from
the dead careass of the horse was any
thing but pleasant, aud he noticed that
buzzards were soaring over the spot.
Finally the buzzards began to alight in
the well, and it was then that a bright
idea struck him. He decided' to catch
tite buzzards by the leg as they came
down until he got a suflicent number
to carry him out. That he did, and
when he caught as many as his hands
would hold he “shewed” at them and
they flew up, carrying him out of the
But still the fox hunter was in a di

idly that he could not turn loose when
he reached the top without falling back
in the well. Upward the buzzards flew
with the human freight, and the fox
hunter began to despair of his life after
all. When about 100 yards above the
ground the fox hunter was just about
to let go and fall, when he was struck
bv another bright idea. He derided to

Youth's Companion.
Christmas has gone, but the time for
kindly acts and good deeds has not
gone. Pass them ou. The Master’s
commands are all days tlie same.
If all the good deeds of men’s lives
could be passed on by those who are
made happier by them, the world
would be better. Doubtless every
man and woman, every boy and girl,
cau recall kindnesses shown them that
they have not yet passed on. Pass the
good deeds on. This is gratitude.
When Rev. Mark Pearse was about
fourteen years old, he went to London,
having been in a school in Germany.
He stayed m Loudon long enough to
spend all his money, exceptingeuough
to pay Itis fare to his home in Corn
wall.
He went by train to Bristol, and
there took passage on a vessel. He
thought that the passage money in
cluded Itis board, and therefore order
ed his meals that day.
At tlie end of the journey a dapper
little steward presented a bill for
meals to tlie lad.
“I have no money,” said the sur
prised boy.
“Then,” replied the steward, “you
should not have taken your meals at
the tattle. What is your name?”
“Mark Guy Pearse.”
The stewart closed his book, took the
boy by the hand, and said,—
“I never thought I should live to see
you. 3Iy mother was in great distress
years ago My father had died sud
denly, and your father was very kind
to me and iny mother. 1 promised
myself then that If I could do so, I*
would show like kindness to some one
your father loved.”
The truly grateful steward paid the
boy’s bill, gave him five shillings, and
sent him ashore in a boat rowed by five
sailors.
Mark’s father was waiting to receive
Itis son.
“Father,” said the boy “it is a good
thing to have a good father,” and then
the story ot the steward’s kindness
was told.
My lad,” said Mr. Pearse, “it is
long since I passed the kindness or to
him in doing what I did. Now he has
passed it on to yon. As you grow up-,
mind that you often pass it on to oth-*
ers.”
Years afterward when the boy had
become a man. he was going by rail on
a short journey, when he saw a boy
crying bitterly.
On asking tlie cause of his grief, the
boy replied that he had not euough
money by four-pence to pay his fare
the to town in which he lived.
Mr. Pearse at once bought the boy a
ticket, and then related his own expe
rience on the steamer years before.
And now,” he concluded, “I want
you to be sure to pass this kindness on
to others if you are ever able to do so.”
As the train left the station, the
smiling boy waved his handkerchief
and said:
“I will pass it on, sir; I will pass it
on.”
Good deeds, kind acts—pass them
on. Pass them. The year awaits
them—three hundred and sixty-live
days—fall of bnraan needs.

when he struck the ground he fired

He says he did not know then that the

and he acknowledges that he drauk a
pint on the day of the murder.
Humphries is a well-to-do farmer
and no oue would have ever thought
of charging him with such a horrible
crime; but the evidence points so di
rectly to him that there is little doubt
now as to liis guilt, the people in hi3
neighborhood would have certainly
lynched him if he had not been
carried away before the verdict was
declared. Every effort will now be

A Noble Foe.
It was at the battle of Gettysburg,”
says an ex-soldier in the Chicago
Herald, “and an incident occurred
there which largely changed my views
of the Southern people. 1 had been a
most bitter anti-South man. and fought
and cursed them desperately. I could
see nothing good in any of them. The

An Enjnat Paniahment.
Atlanta Journal.
Elsewhere our readers will find the
decision of Bishop Beckwith in the
case of Rev. Dr. Armstrong, rector of
St. Philip’s church, approving the
finding of the court, ret using the new
trial prayed for by tlie defendant aud
his counsel, and pronouncing, as the
Bishop’s sentence, Dr. Armstrong’s
snspensiQn from the ministry for the
period of five years. We will say at
once that the effect of this verdict upon
us, the impression it made, was that
of surprise, regret and indignation.
On reflection this first impression has
not been removed. Ou the contrary,
while the surprise aud regret remains
as vivid as before, indignation at so
extreme a punishment, altogether un
warranted in view of tite facts of the
case, has deepened. This feeling is
aggravated by an impression which
we cannot repress, that tlie prosecu
tion aud sentencing of Dr. Armstrong
iiave been characterized all through,
more or less, by a disguised spirit of
personal vindictiveness, an affected
ecclessiastical prudery, at variance
with tlie world’s idea of exact justice
and which to a jury in our ordinary
courts of law would have smacked
more of prosecution than of legitimate
prosecution. We believe we share
this unpleasant feeling with nine-
tenths of the intelligent and candid
men who have closely followed the
details of this extraordinary trial. It
is unnecessary for us to say bow far
such a condition is repugnant to the
principles of love, charity, brotherly
kindness and holiness which are the
very foundation pillars and teachings
of the church, as whose representa
tives and exemplars the court which
tried Dr. Armstrong and tite Bishop
who lias so austerely sen enced him
stand before the world.
In our opinion the st titmice is un
necessarily cruel and unjustifiable
under tite evidence. The most dam-
evidence was given in by a man

and the District of Columbia and

enth year $7,000,000, and eighth year
$3,000,000—mating $77,000,000, be
sides which there is a special appro
priation of $2,000,000 to aid in tlie erec
tion of school houses In sparsely set-
tied districts, making a total fund of
$79,000,000. The money is given to
several States aim Territories In that
propot tion which the whole number of
personam each who, being of the. age
pf Yeti-years and over, cannot read-aujf
write, bears to the whole number ol
such persons in the United States, ac
cording to the census of 1880 until the
figures of 1890 shall be obtained, and
then according to the latter figure. In
States having separate schools for white
and colored children tlie money shall
be paid out in support of such w*hite
and colored schools, respective
ly, in proportion that.white and color
ed children between ten and twenty-
one years old iu such State bear to

its Governor shall file with the Secre
tary of Interior,a statement giving full
statistics of the school system, atten

ber of schools in operation, number

No State or Territory shall receive in
any year from this fund more money
than it has paid out the previous year
upon its own revenues for common
schools. If any State or Territory de
clines to take its share of the national
fund such share is to be distributed
among the States accepting the bene
fits Of the fund. If any State or Ter
ritory misapplies the fund or fails to
comply with the conditions, it loses all

who bas been provedto be a scoundrel
and a professional liar, totally unwor
thy of belief. Other proof - exhonorat-
ing Dr. Armstrong bas since accumu
lated which, to say the least,, should
have entitled the defendant to the new
trial he pathetically asked for. Even
the alleged court were at variance In
making up their verdict, and one of
them has in print admitted that he
protested against the unjustifiable
verity of the finding.
We candidly say th'at in oar opinion
Bishop Beckwith has made a serious
mistake. He cannot afford to make a
mistake of this grievous'sort. He has
stretched Jiis authority beyond the
bounds set by Christian compassion
and the example ot his Master, to pun
ish a subordinate tor an acknowledged
and deplorable indiscretion with all
the severity due to a heinous criminal
offense. The verdict will do the
church more harm than it can possibly
do Dr. Armstrong: The sentence is
more to be deplored than the man
upon whom it falls.
We give Dr. Armstrong our pro-
fouudest sympathy. To the divine
Head of the Church he .must aud will
alone look ior help and comfort in his
affliction. He will come out of the
fire purified and better and nobler
even than he has ever been. His peo
ple love him and will stand by him to
the last. On such sure foundation he
can safely abide the future.
A Maverick.
The work “Maverick” is used in tite
cattle ranges of the West to designate
an unbranded and hence ownerless an-
innl The Sam Francisco Maverick,
gives this as the origin of the word:
A few* years since .Sam Maverick
went from Massachusetts to Texas,
where he entered largely into stock
business. After buying several herds
he neglected his range and left his
stock to shift for themselves. Mr.
Maverick, with humanitarian feeling,
refrained from branding his young
stock,believing in the implicit honesty
of his neighbors. When the genuine
stockmen of the region ran* across an
uubranded animal bn the round up
they would say, “There’s one of Mav
erick’s; let’s brand it.”
The .word sprang into popularity,
and its limited meaning was broadened
and enlarged by constant use
out the cattle ranges and
camps of the frontier. If a man was
unpronotinced in his opinion on any
ibject people would say, “He holds
averick’s views.”

Tite assumption that marriage offers
to a woman that highest devolopment
is open to question. The normal con
dition of wifehood and motherhood,
with the multifarions duties involved,
is a serious dt a whack to industrial,
public or profeesional life. To do any
consecutive work a single life is al
most necessary to a woman.
The married woman developes the
special qualities of wifehood and moth
erhood often, most always, at the cost
of general development. Family du
ties, which are again an impetus to the
career of matt, crush and annihilate
tlie woman. Marriage demands from
her that every thought, every talent
every project should be subordinntei
to its overwhelming claims. In it her
individuality is weakened, and some
times absolutely effaced. She has not
the time even to continue those habits
of physical exercise and healthy re
creation which maintain tlie elasticity
and vigor of her unmarried sister;
she cannot command for herself those
conditions of life whicli conduce to
health.
On the other hand, the number ot
unmarried women increases voluntari
ly, and not of necessity. The mental
life of these fortunate and superior
creatures is free aud uutrarameled.
Tite single woutan’s tastes are various
and refitted—her opportunities forcul-
tivating them practically unlimited.
Whether it be in the direction of socie
ty, or art, or travel, or philanthropy,
or public duty, or a combination of
many of these, there is nothing to hin-
ler her from following Iter own will—
no restrictions but those of iter own
conscience and right principles.
Front Iter, stronghold of happiness
and freedom she can help tite weak
and protect tlie poor. She is fitted to
fill a place which has always stood
empty iu the history of the world—
that of a loving and tender woman
armed with official power to redress
the wrongs of women and children,
whose nature and necessities are
known only to her.
While losing none of the fun and
gavety of life, she is called by religious
conviction to stand face to face and
hand to hand with suffering. To be
loving and tender is her nature, but
love and tenderness do not reach their
highest expression in the personal re
lations.
If the love of the mother grows by
continually rendering services to her
child, the love of the woman grows by
the protection she gives to many chil
dren and unbefriended, lonely girls.
As the mother benefits two or three,
the single woman may benefit thous
ands. When she throws tlie weight of
her intellect, her influence, her enthu
siasm on tlie side of the neglected and
friendless, site sanctifies these gifts to
the noblest purposes, of wnich human-

Harper’s Bazar.
ILLUSTRATED.
Harper’s Bazar is the only paper in mp
rorld that combines the choicest literature
and the finest art illustrations with the latest
fashions and methods of household adornment.
Its weekly illustrations and descriptions of
tbe newest Paris and New York styles, with
its useful pattern-sheet supplements and cut
patterns, by enabling ladies to be their own
dressmakers, save many times the cost of snb-
scription. i ts papers on cooking, the man age-
ment of servants, and hoose-keeping in Its
various details are eminently practical. Muoit
attention is given to tbe interesting topic of
social etiquette, and its illustrations of art
needle-work are acknowledged to be unequal
led. Its literary merit is or the highest excel
lence, and the unique character of its humor
ous pictures has won for it the name of tbe
American Punch. #
