S
Some things which are done by reputa- j.
ble people are acknowledged by nobody, ?
When Thackeray, with his character- f
istic violation of conventional expedien- cy,
made Henry Esmond say, with naive i
seriousness, of Lady Castleton, "She I
had been listening at the door," a howl j
of reprobation arose from critics of both
sexes, professional and amateur. He ]
had lowered the object of his adoration
below the average of a common chambermaid?or
so it was declared. When '
Mrs. Candor avers unblushingly, "My .
eye caught a sentence in the open letter
that aroused my curiosity, and I read
the whole of it," her bosom friend,
although delectated by the scandal revealed
by the act, must look shockcd
?.:id L..urmur deprecatingly, or suffer in
Vior AKtimation. When Amelia can
hut refrain from, whispering to Rvsalie
the secret confided to her under a
solemn promise of secreoy by Eugenia,
she defends the betrayal to her conscience
by saying: "It was i)ld me in
strictest confidence; but you know, dear,
I don't consider that I violate my pledge
by hinting it to you, from whom I hide
nothing."
The queer part of the laboriously
acted farce iS that the only person deceived
is the sinner herself. Lady Castleton's
eavesdropping did not burden
her sweet wnite soul. Mrs. Candor says
boldly: "Anybody else would have done
the same in the same circumstances."
If she be shrewd she adds: "The only
difference between people with characters
and without, is in the amount they
confess." Amelia does not avoid betrayed
Eugenia's eyes at their next meeting,
says her prayers with a heart as
single and voice as devout as if Rosalie
were not privately convicting her of
perjury.
So?whoever did marry for money?
The thing is so odious, the treachery,
cheat?sacrilege?so abominable that no
man or woman who cares for reputation,
or has even a nominal regard for social
decencies, will admit the charge at tlie
tribunal of self-consciousness.
THE TITLE OF "FOETTIKE-HUNTEIl"
is as libelous as that of "coward," and
. he who deserves it exerts ingenuity and
glozes over circumstantial evidence in
introspeotive reflection to clear his soul
of the stigma.
The heiress of his selection has really
no present fortune, as the daughter of a
rich father may inherit nothing in the
long run. Or, if she hold her wealth in
her own right, she would be a prize were
she penniless.
In that unlucky event he would have
controlled his manly affections, as. the
whole world knows and says sneeringly
behind his back, however he may hoodwink
himself. The right of a man to
fall in love with a rich girl or the- child j
of a wealthy house, is as patent as King i
Cophetua's to woo the beggar maid, j
Cupid's freaks may as well take one turn i
as another. In the teeth of the doughty i
assertion, the world continues to siirug
significant shoulders.
To shrug and sneer and snarl, and yet i
become, with parents and friends, acees- j
. - sory to the unholy commerce.
"Dinna wed for siller's sake. 'Twad j
be unco'sinful, ye ken," said a pious j
Scotch father to his son. "But see to it I
that ye gae where tiller is!"
\Ve may feel a twinge of regret, but j
we have ceased to be - shocked when we
hear the marriage of two ardent youcg !
people spoken of as "a genuine old- j
fashioned love match, such as one sel- ;
dom hears of in this day." Nor are we
righteously indignant at the compassionate
smile that accompanies the implied
slur.
One direct question wiil prove the
truth of the assertion. What do we
mean when we say that a girl has "married
well?" Given a tolerably suitable :
age, fair character, health and dispcsi- j
tion, the commendation has but one I
generally accepted interpretation, as any j
candid reader will admit.
I heard an eminent theologian use the j
words the other day, in answer to con- j
gratalations on his daughter's marriage: j
"She has, indeed, married magniti- j
cently!" he subjoined aside to an inti- |
mate friend. "I could ask nothing bet- i
ter for her, thank God!"
. Meeting the son-in-law subsequently, I
che friend saw an uneducated man of |
mean stature, ignoble visage, boorish j
deportment, and less than mediocre in- j
tellect. But he- has inherited the millions
of a self-made father, and is cunning
enough to turn them over to advantage.
Another bridegroom was so repulsive
in aspect that one revolted at the contrast
with his fair, majestic bride. He
wore a wig, and his senile grin would
have been less disagreeable had he employed
dental skill also; he was squat in
ligure; his scanty beard was a grizzled
red, his face mettled and freckled into
the complexion of a gooseberry roleypoley,
and he was thirty years his wife's
senior.
"We feel very happy about our darling,"
said the tender mother, with glistening
eyes. "She has chosen more
judiciously than do most girls of her
. age."
The father, as well pleased, expressed
his satisfaction in different sort.
"Not much to look at," he admitted
to a crony, "but he has at least ten
fchnrisftTid dollars for p.vatv
We all say, ana we all mean one thing
by such comments, and that is to swell
the applause due him?or her?who does
good unto himself?or herself. The satisfaction
of parents has a basis of natural 1
and praiseworthy regvd for their child's
well-being. If they are poor and she
has had a hard bringing up they' covet
ease and a smoother pathway for her.
IX TEE it?EEBKJJj HEART.
There is a fierce claim on these as her
daughter's right in life, her lawful share
of the sunshine and ease and prosperity
which are chief among the world's good
things. If she has been brought up in
affluence there arises an out from home
and society against the cruelty of altering
her circumstances, the selfishness of
?mn -who would drag her down to the
level of the working classes. The inconsiderate
swain, who, for love's sake, has
proposed the wrong, finds himself in the

sessn years of waiting, he offered the
humble home wrung from Fate's tight a
fist to the "dearest girl in the world." c
"I give yon my word, Copperfield. I j
felt a perfect bird of prey toward the ?
family." c
The parental instinct of providing for
the chi ld overpasses the ignorant trans- C
ports of the marriage day, and takes a
alarm at the iflenace of privation, "con- a
trivance," pinching economies ana unpleasant
surprises in the shape of debts ?
and duns, which are natural attendants
upon the early wedded liie of two people "
whose fortune?if they ever have one?is a.!
to be made and saved by themselves.
The folly of marrying upon nothing is 0
so easily demonstrable that the girl of r|
the period, albeit a trifle romantic in
som6 respects, does not need to have it
explained to her. Not even a Traddles a>
of our generation dreams of bringing
Sophy home as his wife on $1,000 a year,
no capital except love and stout heart, tv
and no stocks except those taken rashly dc
in Faith and Hope. Consequently, the he
cumber of marriages in the solid middle m
asses decreases jearly; people marry
,ter in life; there are more childless
>uples and fewer housekeepers. Oar
irlo know this, and onr young men apreciatu
it to the full. The former look
>r husbands who can support tnem
ell; the latter take their choice between g
vnical bachelorhood and a hunt for m
ich wives. Both sexes "look to it that 0*
tiey gae where siiler is." ^
One of the patented-ail-rights secured
ayings of unworldly minded moralisers h,
s that the man whose riches have bought ^
lis wife, and the woman whose husband v<,
ias sought her for her money, are much ^
o be pitied in their splendid misery. ^
These unsophisticated esr ayists, laying S{
o the warped outlines the ride and c?
jlummet of sensitive rectitude, assume ^
;hat suspicion of the truth must lurk in ^
;he bottom of Sevres coffee cups, and ?
;it, bodkin wise, between the wedded ^
pair on satin sofas and carriage cushions. a
They are represented as
GAZING THROUGH GUJDED BARS . O
at the frank, innocent joys of those who P
are chosen and beloved for themselves f?
alone, as Adam and Eve might have
sought unguarded crevices in Eden's t
wali, and made of them wailing places c
over what they had forever forfeited. If c
the innermost heart lining of Croesus T
and Baroness Burdett-Coutts were turn- r
ed out to microscopic examination, we 2
might find definite traces of the corrod- 3
ing suspicion aforesaid. The average s
millionaire does not dissociate in his most t
secret thoughts liis riches from his in- ?
dividual personality, Purse pride runs ?
through every vein, is assimilated by t
every organ. Inconvenient as were the t
consequences of Midas' touch to his t
daily bread, he doubtless retained in his 1
prayer to be saved from starvation a 1
strain of pride in his unique accomplish- 1
ment. Our Wall street Midas is not 1
chagrined that the beautiful school mis- 1
tress elected to grace his table, carriage 1
and mansion should be won by his mil- 1
lions. He loves her the more intelli- '
gently for her appreciation of what is t
himself.
Who ever saw an heiress to whom the '
dread of being married for her money 1
was the fretting pea under her fourteen 1
feather beds? The yellow reflection of :
virgin gold becomes her as ornaments
the bride. She values her possessions as 1
inherent, not extrinsic charms. She (
knows as well as you and I that a rich :
girl never lacks for suitors,, and she is
grateful to a benignant Providence for 1
making her future sure and bright.
One of the vainest women i ever s.newportioned
oft her handsome, obsequious 1
lord, month by month?so much for
cigars, so much for horses, so much for
tailors' bills, so much for sundries?and
so far from being ashamed of the onesided
copartnership, reminded him of it
in playful threatening when others were
by in such terms as:
"Don't be saucy, my love, or I will
stop your allowance!" Or, "Der*,.! dear!
what expensive luxuries husbands are!
Here's payday agfin."
She had her flatterers and court, for
she was pretty, flippant, lavish and rich
?and in society! Jler money was but
one element of her power, as essentially
a part of the woman who had attracted
and won her impecunious Adonis as were
her conversational gifts and fine eyes.
The conscious possession of wealth imparts
a sense of mastery that intoxicates
steadier brains than hers.
ilATKCVlOXIAL ETEICS.
Admitting all this, as the candid ob-1
seiver of society's ways of reasoning and j
action must, tuere is iiii ugij auuntiai,unj. i
of truth, realistic and stubborn, that j
tLrasts up a granite shoulder through j
sophistical froth and sparkle. Let the j
woman who has a prospect of marrying '
well, according to the definition already
given, denude her betrothed of the
golden fleece draping his moral and
mental being; put behind her the visions
of "houses and vineyards, gardens and
orchards and pools of water" (represented
by Saratoga and Baden-Baden), "silver
and gold, men singers aud vomen
singers," (i. e., the German and French
opera), "great possessions of great and
small cattle" (thoroughbred horses and
poodles), "all the peculiar treasures of
kings and of the provinces," and ask
herself, as in the honest hour of death,
"Would I become this man's wife, 'for
better and for worse, for richer and for
poorer, in sickness and in health,
through good report and evil report,
until death do us part,'if he had none
of these things? If, in their place, he
eould-ofi'er me only a heart foil of love,
a pair of hands able and ready to do
battle with fortune for my sake, -what .
would be the answer of my heart at the
altar?"
If c>io ancTcpr "\n " with r>v acninst
her will, she sins in marrying lum.
Wlien she takes the irrevocable vows
upon her she perjures herself in the sight
of a holy God and pure angels; is sold 1
body and soul, to a life as degrading, as
sureiy subversive of modesty andmorali- 1
ty as is that of the beautiful eiave in a '
Turkish market. How the mother can 1
sanction by her blessing the unholy J
ceremony parses the comprehension of ,
clear-eyed, right-minded women, wli&t- !
ever may be said of men's duller perceptions.
It makes less difference with them,
we are told, this closest union of ^
lives possible in this world, when the j
bond is merely one of commercial gain 1
and convenience. Let them settle with :
the masculine conscience the ethical :
question of wooing, with phrases bor- '
rowed from Love, the women to whom
they would never give a second thought 1
were they portionless; the pretense of 5
disinterested devotion maintained y
throughout the betrothal; the oath of
allegiance to the women they hold by *
the hand when these are really addressed *
to bonds and securities, to stocks and [
real estate?the horrible wrong done to j
the creatures who believe in them as in c
TTiin irlifi Tj^fc na sneenlflte. *
instead, as to the process by which the t
mother -who knows what marriage is? e
what heaven and what hell it may be? t
works herself up (or down?) to the con- L
viction that her child can, in any sense, f
be "well oft" in wedding a man because d
of advantages that have nothing to do k
with his intrinsic self. The girl may err b
through partial ignoruncS?her matronly r'
adviser never! ?
Yet the young maiden who says, "I
mean to marry- a rich man, whether I
love him or not," breathes upon her
purity by* the utterance, however
thoughtless it may be. If this be her y
steadfast purpose, inculcated by her w
elders, acted upon, when opportunity ?
offers, by herself, there stands between tl
ier and the poor wretch from whose
:ouch she draws aside her matronly h
robes, as if contact were contamination, b
>nly the shadow of a legal lie, the tenu- 11
>us screen of the wifely name. Irr

TRYING TO STOP IT.
le Dehorning of Cettle in the Ranches of It

(From the Milwaukee Sentinel.) Z
Superintendent Whitehead, of the *
umane Society, is seeking an efficient
ethod of stopping the cruel dehorning
cattle, a custom -which is growing in ?
is State. ?
4 The professed object of this amputaon
is to prevent cattle from inflicting
Juries with their horns, but any one ?
ho cannot protect himself against a *
>w or even a bull without resorting to ^
irgery is apt to be a poor sort of a
jock-raiser," said Mr. Whitehead. 2.
And, as for that, I have never known I
tore pugnacious animals than 'mooly' "
ulls. The fact, I believe, is that the
reedy cattleman is counting solely on *
xe square feet of room he will save by ^
voiding roping his stock." 1
The operation is performed with an
rdinary saw. Cut through the quick <
ith, the animal's head bleeds profusely (
3r days, and the pain must be intense. 1
"It is a cruel attempt to convert a
ierd of cattle into a flock of sheep." i
ontinued Mr. Whitehead. "The origin j

ociety's agents had his attention drawn
o this solitary case of dehorning, and
vent the spot to investigate. Hoff
showed him his cattle, enlarged upon

le summarily ejeited him from the
premises. "With no revengeful feeling
whatever, I am convinced, the agent laid

cvas prosecuted. Hoff came to Chicago
three times to have the case postponed,
the last time on the ground that his wife
was dangerously ill. It was afterward
ascertained that his wife, on the day referred
to, had driven him herself to the
station. Meantime he had been inducing
one farmer after another to try
dehorning, and at last implicated so
many,.that an impartial jury could not
be impanelled, and the society lost the
case. Since that time the barbarous
custom has extended to Wisconsin, and

royal veterinary college of Scotland has

>?\V CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
The New York Star gives the following
statement touchiug the new Civil Service
rules:
"The new Civil Service rules seem to
meet with general approbation. Those
who consider themselves the particular
champions of the new system express their
satisfaction with the specific penalties provided
for violation of the laws regarding
political pressure and partisan assessments
in Government offices. But the execution
of these provisions wiil "merely enforce
enactments that are already ver}r specific,
and, in fact, the rules consist mainly of a
condensation of the statutes. As long as
these statutory provisions exist, their rigid
enforcement can cause no surprise.
"Practical men will welcome most of
the new matter in the revised rules. The
limitations of age are changed so as to
abolish the absurd provision that prevented
mtot A~ v.virc /".I/I frntn Mmnciinir I
puovuo V>Wi -xt/ J ^ UU* * ?
lor positions, while the age c>f eligibility
is raised to 26 years,-in order thai mere
schoolboys may be no longer employed to
the exclusion "of citizens of voting age.
The standard of eligibility is raised from
Go per cent, to 70 for all except veteran
soldiers and sailors, and the veterans are
favored in many other ways in all competitions.
A most important and beneficial
change is the one conceding to appointing
officers the absolute right to reject nominees
of the Civil Service Commission. The
former practice in this matter was of questionable
constitutionality, and the return
to sound methods will go fur to remove
the objections of friecds of good government
to Civil Service administration.
"La the Post Ofliee the age for letter carriers
is raised from 1G to 21 years as a
minimum, and from So to 40 years for the
maximum; and for general employes the
minimum is advanced from 16 to Its years,
and the 45-year barrier is abolished, as iu
other departments. The list of officers exempted
from Civil Service classification is
made definite, and is increased by the addition
of chief clerks and heads of divisions;
and in many other ways the tendency
of the new departure is to render
Civil Service reform more acceptable to
the people."
Talked With Her Dead"Hu.ib.md.
A Xorth Adams, Mass.. special to the
New York World says: "Muthei is dead;
come at once." was the message telegraphed
by Dexter M. Bishop, of Readsboro, Vt.,
a few days ago. The message had to be
contradicted, for Mrs. Lois M. Bishop,
aged 86. had not died. After lying unconscious
for hours, she revived and today
is apparently restored to her former
health. Mrs. Bishop says that while she
vvas, unconscious she heard a voice say,
"M'/iher," and she recognized it as the
eok':- of her eldest son. Franklin Sylvester,
tvho uied fifty years ago. She also recognized
tbe voice of her husband, who died
hirty-five years ago. He asked her what
she wanted, and if she was coming to him,
md she replied. "Yes, William, I havcaeen
in great affliction."
After having seen and talked with her
lead husband and son, the old lady says
she doesn't want to live auy longer, but
vants to go to them. She has no doubt
hat it was heaven where they were, with
ill its glories and brightness. Just before
,he was laid on her bed her hands became
)urple and the coloring crept nearly up to
ler wrists, and then nearly the whole

:old and the same purple coloring began to

negro and don't wish any man to call me
colored. I was born a slave and commenced,
as a bootblack. I lived in Savan
nah eighteen years ago, though a native of
Alabama. 1 am onty 31 years of age and
am tie youngest diplomat in the service. I
wish to say that the negro has been moved
almust solely by emotion or passion, but
he will gradually learn better. Again, the
negro is naturally happy, and spends his
last five cents as if he were a millionaire.
I am afraid that the tendency with my |
race is to imitate the vises of whites and
shun their virtues. Tell the readers of the
Religious Herald to treat the negro fairly
and throw him on his own resources. If
he can't hoe his own row and tote his own
skillet, let him go to the wall. Liberia is
the richest country I ever saw, but negroes
raised here can't live there. The failure
of Liberia does not prove the negro incapable
of self-government. The best negroes
have not been .sent there. There are
only .2,375 voters in all Liberia, and 1,333
of them hold offices."
That is what Mr. Cleveland's minister to
Liberia tells'us. but he may be mistaken on

A Beautiful Girl's Sad Fate.
Baltimore, February 7.?A pitiful spectacle
was presented at the Southern police
station this morning when a patrolman led
in a beautiful girl, apparently not more than
IS years old, and so scantily clad that she
had been found nearly frozen to death,
huddled in an unused ash cart in an alley.
From the wild stare in her black eyes and
tier strange actions it was evident that she
svas insane. Her black hair hung down her '
back and tlic drizzling rain on if had matted <

covered with sleet and her feet were almost i
xire. 2so one knew her. She did not ap- '<

Decaying Homesteads in the South.

of the families which possess them, ,

last week, and although that was early 1
in the season for the birds to be making 1

counted a hundred flocks of wild tur- I
keys, and there wasn't a flock out of ]
which I couldn't have shot one or more
of the splendid birds from my window 1

runs on trestles over a swamp for :
several miles, and in the extensive ;
ponds and bayous of that wild stretch .
of country thousands upon thousands of .
wild ducks and .geese of all varieties
were feeding, some of the water being
covered for acres with the fowl, until j
their groups looked like islands in the

to the noise of the trains that I did not
see one move its position through being
startled by the cars in all that distance.
"The day before I left Springlield I

two hundred pounds of the best venison

Gen. Belknap's Peculiar Toe.
A party of old soldiers stood on the
platform of the panorama of Bull Run
the other dav, discussing an anecdote I
told recently of the idiosyncrasies of
Stonewall Jackson, and a famous exconfederate
remarked:
"I saw a good deal of Gen. Jackson
before and during the war, and noticed
his peculiarities as every one else did. I
have heard him assert that his right leg
was hollow and his left leg solid. He
used to imagine that he could feel his
blood passing down the cavity, and if
it had been any other man I would have
said that he was crazy."
"I'm the other man," responded Gen.
Belknap, who stood by, "for I never
take a glass of Burgundy without feeling
it run down inside my leg to my
great toe."
"And I know a man," observed another.
"who cannot take even so much
as a glass of beer without 'feeling a
numbness in his arm from his wrist to
bis elbow."
"Sam Randall," said a third, "always
has a swelling of his ankles whenever
he takes wine of any sort, but that's

"And I know a great many men,"
continued a fourth, "who cannot take

Take a nice fresh shad and cut it up

is to be submerged to within an inch of

ar comes to a boiL Cook slowly. The r
had absorbs the vinegar gradually, and ^

THE BRUTAL WHITE CAPS.
L Man Who Went Against Their Wishes Is
W hipped Nearly to Death.
Eya>-svllle, _ Ixd., Feb. 5.?A report
las reached this city of a dastardly outrage
by White Caps, committed on Friday
lin-Vi* timt "Wflrpnon TTr>W:ird fionntv. Ind.
[n that locality reside Thomas Williams
md wife, "who were subjected last year to
jreat indignities, so it is said, at the hands
>f the White Caps. At the time Williams
claimed to have recognized among his assailants
a prominent young man, Thomas
Courtney, Jr., the son of one of the leading
physicians of the county. He immeliately
sought the arrest of young Courtney,
who, fearing trouble, left for parts
anknown. Nothing further was heard of
Ihe young man, though it transpires that
tie had located with his father at Fort
Scott, Kansas, and a telegram from that
point yesterday announced that he had
been arrested upon a requisition from the
Governor of Indiana and was back in
Crawford county. This news seemed to
have enraged the friends of the young
leader and they determined to wreakjtlieir
7engeance on Williams, who was supposed
to have encompassed the arrest of Courtney.
Reports received state that they went to
ilis house last night at a late hour and demanded
admittance, which was refused,
when they broke down the door just as
Williams fired three shots into thecrowd
from his revolver. It is not known if any
one was hurt, but it seemed to infuriate
the masked men, who proceeded to tie
Mrs. Williams to the bedstead and took
Williams into me yara, mnere nc was
Wound to a tree. They then told him that
they had come for his writL j and sworn
statement exonerating Courtney from all
participation in the crime charged against
him and that his refusal would result in
his being put out of the way. Though
thus intimated, he refused to do it, and
their leader ordered that he should be
flogged until lie agreed to sign the statement.
j
Hev was therefore stripped and bound
closely to the tree, with his face turned
inward. The lash was applied vigorously,
bringing the blood for some moments,
when the head of the poor man was noticed
to fall backward, and it was ascertained
that he had fainted. At that moment
the sound of approaching horsemen
caused the miscreants to decamp. Williams
was cut down and the usual remedies
applied, but he failed to regain consciousness,
and at last accounts was reported
in a dying condition. The White
Caps made good their escape.
The wife states tha* during the parley
with her husband in the yard, and while
she was fastened to the bed; one of the
miscreants would have subjected her to
grosser indiguities had he not been prevented
by a companion. The outrage is
said to have aroused that section of country,
where a very strong feeling has sprung
ud affainst the repeated crimes of the
"WTiite Caps.
