IlBNCtiCKs isn't gnashing bib teeth
oj over the Bet-back to bis party in
bia own State. If Indiana becomes
doubtful bis chances will loam.
There are in the United Slates
Senate, fiftj-two practicing lawjerp,
seven ex editor, six merchants and
nearly a dozen farmers. The oldest
Senator is Fl iralin, and the jonngest
is Brace.
CmiF Justice Shabsvood has de
cided tbat liqnor cannot be sold at
anv time on election day, before the
polls open or after tbey close. This
bas been a disputed point.
The Charleston Al'ice and Courier,
a democratic paper, - announces tbat
in addition to the negro exodus to
other States, the colored people are
flocking from Sonth Carolina to
Beaufort County, the only county in
tbat State which the Democrats did
cot carry at the last election. Tbat
tells the whole story.
Tnibowl about "troops at the
polls" won't deceive anybody, and
the less wind the ferocious Reform
editors waste in making it the less
tbey will exhaust themselves. The
whole North understand thU ques
tion thoroughly, and it is the North
wbteh will vote to put a permanent
muzzlo on the Confederate Pdmj
crats this fall.
Senator Chandler has enriched
the Republican vocabulary with a
phrase which will not bs forgotten
very soon. He says that when the
North put upon the South the robe
of citizenship, and killed the fatted
calf, and io riled the prodigal sons to
the feast, the South came torward
with the calm remaik "We have
"always owned that calf, and we are
"grateful for the feast." iV. Tri
bune The Cincinnati Gazelle says : The
Republican Convention, which will
be the largest, most able and most
important ever held in the State of
Ohio, will not be in the band? of
ward bummers and crossroads poli
ticians, but in the control of the Re
publican party, it will rise above
all petty tricks and schemes, and
nominate a ticket that wil' be sweep
ingly elected, and construct a plat
form that will ring out net only in
Obio, bnt throughout the nation.
This is the latest and mot-t reliable
Republican news.
Tfns "SeiTiiaTA TaT "TnZel
is a
staunch Democratic journal, and it
does not believe in the public schools.
Iteays: "Stop educating the chil
dren of fathers who are opposed to
Democracy, without cause or reason.
Stop educating children who are
taoght from the cradlo to bate the
hand tbat feeds tbm.'' "To bate
the band tbat teeds tbem" is good.
From puling infants op, these scions
of Democracy have got all their
nourishment fiom the laborer tbey
have defrauded. The advice, there.
fore, is about as brazen an expression
of an overgrown and overshot aris
tocracy as we have seen. "Stop
educating children" because tbey
grow op "opposed to Democracy," is
a pretty good indication of the rela
tive intelligence of the two parties
Nothing is so good a fertilizer ot De
mocracy as pure and unadulterated
ignorance.
Tue Democrats in Congress have
cut a sorry ngore in their contest with
the Executive. It is useless to
mince words about the matter.
Tbey have blundered, blundered bad
ly, and have subjected themselves to
merited ridicule. They have placed
themselves in the attitude of one
who seeks an issue, but retreats as
soon as be sees tbat bis opponent h
prepared to meet it. The first step

During the last teteion there was a
good reason for attuching too politi

bills. Tbe Senate was Republican,
and jt was impossible to get s parate
measures through that body. But
when tbe new Congress organized
this reason no longer existed, for
each Ilout-e contained a Democratic
majority. There was no reason why
the political measures should not
bave been embodied in separate bills

arose from the supper tabid and took

"Oh I'm goisglout," was the
careless response, j.
"Hut where J"

some time, and she could not let the
opportunity pass. It required an ef
fort, but tsbe persevered.
"Let me tell you what odds it
makes to me," she said, iu a kind, but
tremulous tone,
"It I cannot have your company
here at home, I should at least feel
much better if I know wbere you
were
"Butjou know that lam safe,
Emma, and wnat more cin jou
ask ?"
"I do not know tbat vou aro safe,
George. 1 know nothing about you
when you are away."
"I'oob ! Would vou bave it tbat I
am not capable of takiag cire of my
self?"
"You put a wrong construction on
my words, George. Love is always
anxious when its dearest object is
awav. If I did not love you as I do,
I might not be thus uneasy. When
yon are at your place of business 1
neter feel tbus, because I know 1
caa seek and find you at any mo
ment; but when you are absent dur
ing these long evenings, I get to
wondenog wbere you are. Then I
begin to leel lonesome ; and so one
thought follows another, until I feel
troubled and uneasy. Ob, if you
would stay with me a portion of your
evenings! '
"Aha I thought tbat was what
you were aiming at," said George,
with a playful shake of the bead
"You would bave me here in tbe
evenings."
"Well can you wonder at it?" re
turned Eoitua. "I used to be very
happy wbeu you came to spend an
evening wiib me before we were mar
ried ; and 1 know I should be very
bsppy in your society uow."
"Ab," said George, with a smile,
"those were business meetings. We
were then airanging for tbe distant
future."
"And w by not cuiitinue to do so,
my bueband? 1 am sure we could
be as bappy now as ever. If you will
remember ooe if cur pkos was to
make a borne."
"Aid 1 avtn't we gaiced one, Em
it a ?
"We Late a plu e iu which to
live," anaweiid ite wife, somewLai
evasivtly.
"And it is cur heme," pursued
George. "Atd," added, with a sott
of coufident Uouriab, "home is tbe
wife's peculiar province. She bas
charge tf it, and her work is there;
while the duties of tbe husband call
bim to other scenes."
"Aye I admit tbat, so far as cer
tain auiies are concerned," replied
Emma. "But yon must remember
that we ootb need relaxation from la
bur; we need time for social and
mental improvement and enjoyment ;
and what season have we tor this
save our eveniogs ? Why shouldn't
this be my borne eveniogs, as well
as in tbe dattinie and during tbe
night?" " . i
"Well isn't it?" asked George.
"How can it be if yoa are not
here 1 What makes a borne for child
ren, if it be not the abode of parents ?
What borne can a husband bare
where tbere is no wife? And what
real home comforts can a wife enjoy
where tbere is no husband? Too do
not realize bow lonesome I am all
alone here during these long even
ings. - They are tbe very seasons
when I am at leisure to enjoy your
companionship, and whn yoa would
be at leisure to eojoy mine, if it is
worth enjoying. They are the sea
sons when tbe happiest boars of
home-life might be passed. Come
J w
will you net spend a few of your
evenings with me?"
V r r t-sia i n a i i V s f a-iwa a j it ia '

j "AlIuW me to be the judge of that,
jGejrge You would be verv lonesome

j "Net if it was my place of business
;na it is of yours," returned tbe bus
! band. ' You are u?ed to staying
j here. AU wires properly belong at

,-.Iu-t rctnerab'r, my huhanr!, tbat,
: previous to our iparriajje, I bad verv
pleasant society all the time. Of
course I rnuiiiutd at heme much of
i mv time, but I had a father and
! mother there and I had brothers
i ana risicrs tnere, and our evenings
were happily spent. Finally I gave
op all f jr ycu ; 1 left tbe old home,
and sought a homo with yoa. . And
now, have 1 not a right to expect
some of your companionship: How
would yea like it t have me away
every evening, while you were com
pelled ami obliged to remain here all
alone ?"
"Why, I think I should like it well
enough."
"Ah, but you would not be willing
to try it."
"Yes, I would,"' said George, at a
venture.
"Will you remain here every even
ing next wet k, and let me spend tbem
among my female friends?"
"Certainly I will ; and I assure
you that 1 shall no: be so lonesome
m you may imagine." Wiih this the
bu.-baad went out, and was eoon
among his friends. He was a steady,
industrious man, antl loved his wife
deaily ; but. like thousands t-f other-',
he had contracted a habit of spending
his evenings abroad, and thooeht of
no b-rm. His only practical idea of
borne feemrd to be, that it was a
place nhich his wifo took care of.and
wbe.c ho could cat, drink, and sleep,
as lun as ho could pay for ic. In
sh.r;, l e treated it as a sort of pri
vate b'.iardiag-houe, of which bis
wife wes landlady ; and if be paid all
tbe bill;1 be considered bis dutv done
Ilia wife btd frequently asked him to
stay at hoao with her, bot she had
never ventured upon any argument
before, and I e had no conception of
bow much i l3 tiii3tcd him. bhe al
ways seemed happy when he came
home, and te tuppoped she 'could al
ways bo so.
Monday eveiiiog came, and George
Wilson remaiued true to his promise.
1 1 i- wifo put va her bonnet and
fchal, and be said be would remain
and "keep bouse."
"Oh 1 shall read, ting, and erjiy
myself generally."
"Very well, I tb'.llbe backin good
season.
The wifa went cuf, and the bus-
Daoa was left alone, lie bid an iu-
terestisi? bock, and be began to read
it. He read till eight o'clock, and
frequently to tbe dial Tbe book did
not interest him aa usual Ever and
auon he would come to a passage
which he knew would please his wife,
aad iosiinctivtlv be turned as though
he would read it aloud ; but there
was no wifo to hear it. At half-past
eight he aroae from his cbair and be
gau to pace the Hocr and whistle.
Then be went and got Lis flute, and
performed several of bis favorite airs.
After this he got a pack of card?, acd
played a game of "High, Low, Jack,"
with aa imaiuary partner. Then
he walked tbe flou and whistled
again. Finally tbe clock struck nine,
and his wife returned.
"We!!, George I am back io good
season. How did you etjiv Your
self!"' "Capitally," returned the husband.
I bad no idea that it was so late. 1
hope you have had plenty of recre
ation." ' Ob abundar.ee. I bad no idea
bow much enjoyment there was away
from home. Home is a dull place,
after all. Isn't it ?"
"Why no I can"t say tbat it is,"
returned George. "I rather like it."
' I'm glad of that," said Emma,
"for we shall both enjoy ourselves
now. You shall have a nice, com
fortable week of it."
George winced some at this, but be
kepi bia countenance, and determined
to stand it out. .
On the next evening Emma pre
pared to go away again.
"Where are you goiDg ?" her hus
band asked.
Ob I can't tell exac-ly. I may
go to several places."
So George Wilson was left alone
again, and be tried to amuo himself
as before ; but he f ound it bard work.
Ever and anon he would cast bis eyes
opon that empty cbair, and tbe good
thought would come, "How pleasant
it would be if she were here " The
clock finally struck nine, and he began
to listen for the step of bis wife.
UalfanbotT more slipped by, acd
be became very nervous and reL-t-lcss.
"I declare," he muttered to himself
after he had listened fcr some time
in vain, "this is too bad. Se ought
not to be cut so late 1"
But Lc happened to remember that
be often remained away much later
than that, so be concluded he must
make the best of ii.
At fifteen minutes of ten Emma
came.
A little late ain't I ?" she said,
looking up at tbe clock. "Bat 1 fell
in with some eld friend, and we
made a time of it. How have you
enjoyed yourself ?"
i irt rate, returned George, brav
ely. "I think home is a great place."
"E?peciallr where one can have
it all to himself," added bis wife, with
a sidelong glance at ber bubbaod.
But be made no reply.
On tbe ruext evening Emma pre
pared to go out as before; but this
time she kissed her husband ere she
went, and seemed to hesitate some.
"Where do you think of going?"
George asked in an undertone.
"I may drop in to see nncle John,"
replied Eaima- "However yon
won't be oaeasy. Yon know I'm
safe."
"Oh certainly."
When the husband was left to bia
own reflection, be began to ponder
seriously upon tbe subject thus pres
ented for consideration. He could not
read be could not play be could
not enjoy himself in any way, wbile
that cbair was empty. In short, be
found that home bad no real comfort
y-u?m '"ti" f t , . t

wi.nout his wile. I no one thing
netdedto make this home cheerful
was not present.
"I declare," he said to himself, "I
did uot think it would be so lonesome.
And caa it be that Bhe feels as I do,
when she is here alona? It must be
so," he pursued, thoughtfully. It is
just as she say a. Before we were
man led, she was very happy in ber
childhood's home. Her parents lov
ed her, and her brothers and sisters
l-)ved her, and they did all they
could to make her comfortable."
Af;er this h walked up and down
the room several
times, and
communed
then
stopped again
and
with
himself:
"I can't stand this. I should die
in a week. If Emma was only here
I think I could amuse myself very
well. How lonesome and dreary it
is. And nly eight o'clock. 1 de
clare I've a mind to walk down by
Uncle John's and see if she is there.
It would be a relief to see her face.
I won't go in. She shan't know yet
that I hold out so faintly."
George Wilson took another turn
dctOps tbe room, glanced ence more
at the clock, and then took bis bat
and went out- He locked the door
after him, and then bent lis steps
towards Uncle John's. It was a
beautiful moonlight night, and the
air was keen and bracing. Ho was
walking along, with his eyes bent on
the side jvulk, when be heard a light
step approaching him. He locked up,
and he could cot be mistaken saw
his wife. His firs: impulsa was to
avoid ber, bat she had recognized
him.
"fieorgf," she said in surprise; "is
this you ?"
"It is," was the resposio
"And da you not pass your even
ings at home?"
"This is the first time I have been
oat, Emma, upon my word, and even
now I have not been ab-toat trom the
home ten minutes, I merely came
out to take the fresh air. But where
are yoa going ?"
"I'm going home, George. Will
you go with uie ?"
"Certainly." returned tue husband.
She took his arm. and they walked
home in silence.
When Emma had taken off ber
things, she sat down in her rocking
chair, and gazed up at tbe clock.
"You came home early to-night,"
remarked George.
The young wife looked op into
her husband's face, and with an ex
pression half Euiiiiog, half tearful,
she answered:
"I will confess tbe truth, George;
I hive fjiveu up the experiment. I
managed to stand it last evening;
but l ti uld not bear it through to
n:ght. When I thought of you here
alone, 1 wanted to be with yoa. It
didn't ms right. I haven't epjoyed
inyse', at aii. I have no home but
"So say ycu,'' said George, mov
ing his seat to his wife's side, and
taking one ot her bands. Then let
me make my confession. I have
stood it uot a whit better. When I
left, the house this evening, I could
bear it no longer. I found that this
was no Lome for i;io wbile my sweet
wife was ab.-tnt. I thought I would
walk down by Uncle John's, and see
your sweet f.vce if possible. I had
gsz-d upon your empty cbir till my
heatt acted."
He kissed hr r a- be spoke, aud
then added, while she reclined ber
bead upon his arm :
1 have learned a very good lesson.
Ycur presence here is lik the burst
ing f-rib of tbe sun after a storm ;
and if you love me as I love you
which, of course, I cau not doubt
my presence may afford some sun
light for you. At all events, our
next experiment shall be to that ef
fect. 1 will try and see how much
borne comfort we cia fiad while we
are both here to enjoy it "
Emma was to happy to express
joy in words ; but she expressed it
nevertheless; and in a manner too,
not to be mistaken.
Tbe next evening was spent at
home by both husband and wife, and
it was a season or much enjoyment.
In a short time George began to real
iz3 bow much comfort wa to be found
in a quiet and pdceful borne ; and
tbe longer be enjoyed this comfort
the more plainly did he see and un
derstand the simple tiuth that it
takes two to make a happy borne, and
tbat if the wife is one party husband
must be the other.

A new and very simple method tf
training vicious horses was exhibited
in West Philadelphia recently, and
the manner in which some of the
wildest horses were subdued was as
tonishing. Tbe first trial was that
cfa kicking or "bucking" mare, which
her owner said bad allowed no rider
on ber back 'or a period of at least
five years. She became tame and
gentle iu about as maoy minutes, and
allowed herself to be ridden about
wiibout a sign cf her former wildness.
The means by wbicb tbe result was
accompliebed consisted of a piece cf
light rope, which was passed around
the front jaw cf the mare, just above
the upper teeth, crossed in her mouth
and thence secured back of ber neck.
It was claimed that no horse will
kick or jump when thns secured, and
that a 'bucking' horse, alter receiving
the treatment a few limes, will aban
don his vicious way forever A "very
simple method was also shown by
which a kickiog borse could be shod.
It consisted in connecting tbe ani
mal's bead and tail by means of a
rope fastened to the tail and then to
tbe bit, and drawn tightly enough to
incline tbe horse's bead to one side.
This, it is claimed, makes it absolute
ly impossible tor tbe horse to kick on
tbe side of tbc rope. At tbe same
exhibition, a horse, which fur many
years bad to be bound on the ground
to be shod, suffered tbe blackcoiith to
operate on bim without attempting to
kick while secured in the manner de
scribed. A bright little fellow of four, the
son of a former pastor of a flourishing
chnrcb, who attends the infaot class
in Sunday school, received last Sun
day morning a card on which were
tbe words, "Pray wiibout ceasing."
After his mother bad explained the
text, he said, I gucis I won't show
this to tbe minister; be prays long

Paul Boy ton lately arrived at Cin
cinnati from New Orleans, in good
health and condition, and completely
satisfied with the result of tbe trip
down the great Western risers. The
Captain says he was very ill with
effects of malaria in the lower river,
and at one time decided to give cp
his undertaking. He took oae night
eighty grains of quioiua at a doje,
which knocked the raalarin o'.i. of
him, and nearly knocked Lim out of
the world. The terrible loneliness of
the great river, the CxpUiu says,
nearly overcame hini. At times he
floated twenty-four hou s wiibout a
eight or sign of a living bein noth
ing but the vast yellow I od of the
low, marshy shores ana the gloomy
overhanging cypres tree. It
was a relief in the lonir nibt i hear
now and then the crash i f a notion
of bank falling in or any . i' thv veird
unexplainable sounds of the night.
One ot tbe most tcrribls experiences
was floating all nigbt in a dense fog
and darkness so ictense it could be
felt, while all about bin. yon could
tear the bellowing cf the alligators
and their purges in th9 gloomy bar

New Orleans. He remained at Cin

of giving exhibitions at tbe Zoologic

t Am lUtvrjr Atsoat Food.
A German physician has started a
new theory with regard to food. He
maintains that both the vegetarian
and the meat eaters are on the wrong
track. Vegetables arc not any more
wholp-M-ue than meat, nor meat than
vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming a pound of both. What
ever nutritive qualities they may pos
sess, he says, are destroyed in great
measure, and often eatirely, by tbe
process of cooking. All food should
be eaten raw. If this practice were
adopted there would be little or no
iliness in the human family. They
would live their apportioned time
and simply fade away, like animals
in a wild state, from old age. Let
these afllicted with gont, rheumatism
and indigestion, try for a time tbe
effect of simple, uncooked diet, such
as oysters and fruit for instance, and
they will find all medicine unneces
sary and such a rapid improvement
of their health that tbey will for
swear all cooked articles of food at
once and forever. Intemperance
would also, it is urged, no longer be
tbe curse of civilized communities.
The yearning for drink is caused by
unnatural abstraction from what are
termed "solids" f the aqueous ele
ment they contain uncooked beef,
for example, containing from 70 to 80
per cent , and some vegetables even
a larger proportion f water. There
would be lees thirst, acd const queot
ly less desire to drink, if cur food
were consumed iu its natural state,
without beiug first subjected to the
actions of fire.

Poalal Cards.
Many persons do not understand
the law regelating tbe transmis-'ioa
of printed matter throogh the mails.
We frequently receive postal cards to
which are attached, by gamming and
pasting, slips of printed matter, and
tbe postal agents mark tbem as re
quiring additional postage, acd prob
ably many ethers are deposited which
are cever forwarded. The languara
of the rules is very explicit :
"No card is a postal card except
such a3 are used by the Poatcffice
Department. An ordinary printed
business card may be Rent through
the mails when prepaid by a 1 cent
postage stamp attached ; but snth
cards must contain absolutely no
written matter except tbe address ;
otherwise it will be treated as not
full prepaid and refused admission ia
to tbe trails"
In using postal cards be careful nrt
to write or bave aoytbing printed on
the side to be used for the address
except the address ; alo bo careful
uot to past, guu or attach anything
to them exctpt an address. They
are unmailable at postal cards when
these suggestions are disregarded

A lady of experience gives advice
on kissing to a lady friend as fol
lows :
"Be frugal in the bestowal of secb
favors. In the first place I would
cat off all tbe uncles, cousins and
brothers-in-law ; let them kiss their
own wives acd daughters, and I
would not kiss tbe minister, or the
doctor, or the lawyer who get yea a
divorce."
You see this lady understands her
business and does, not leave out the
editor ; be t f all others needs these
oscolatory attentions to "lighten up
thegicom;" she's a jolly, sensible
woman, with a heart ia the right
place.
