It ram,- , from. Chicago and began as follows: ^ " Mv Heart's Heliuiit: -Got her. , O. K. this A. M. Have been wrestllnj- , with the trade all day. and a tough time I've had of it.

What comfort she found there it i u hnnl to say; but a great determination ,, rose with the stricken wife, who went :l out an honr later am! soagiit a tele- ,. graph office. n Her linsband had bocu saying his prayers abroad that evening, and when s he got to his hotel ubout midnight, „ hi.« spiritual emotions received a rude c shbek by a telegram from his only „ " lova" n It was elaborate for a despatch, but c under the circumstances one could not expect on" outraged wife to transmit tl her feelings by the. slow mail. The „ despatch read: , " Yon are no longer the only drum- , who Ts"*not n liar, as you have ,, always claimed. I-«sfc the fraternity , majce you 'their chief in the art - Had , you taken the pains even to look for , the pliotogmph you say your |irayeis , you would have discovered that I n had— to tease you— removed it My , faitli in you is dead!" _ „ The husband clutched his hair. r " Why, what did I write to her, anyway," he mattered. After a white his face cleared. " By Jove! I must have been piling f on the taffy. That's what a man gets (, for trying his best to make a woman v feel pood! Poor little dear, what a f fume she must be In! Lucky for me she s gave lier grievance away. What geese , women are!

Beg. borrow, steal it, get it r somehow. Will write all particulars f soon." i About a week later, a drummer, in ^ dignihed martyrdom, stood face to , face with a stern, but Very wept out wifa She expected to see him meek and humble, but be' gaxed upon her with j much scorn, and then passed on to his j | room to crushing silence. She was I amazed. With quick impulse she fol- f 1 lowed, thanking heaven he had not j her out ! " Well," she began, with wavering [ courage, " what have you got to say : y for yourself, now?" i Coldly, cruelly lie looked at lier. "1?"

They supplied him with plenty of material for Ills plodding and methodical habits. Wit h good cigar and a bottle or two of tiger he would Sit up until after midnight familiarizing himself with tho details of every department The same habit which he liad when mayor ol Buffalo and governor of New York clung to him until very early Inst summer, when other habits unlike any had ever known before had to be cultivated for Mrs. Cleveland's sake. Tlie necessity for. so much plodding has greatly disappeared. The members of the cabinet do not sit up so late in the White House as last year at tills time, and as for those concumitanta of single days, they are -still provided, used at another ttmo. Evenings In the parlor with the household company takes tbe place of lonely work in the and sometimes the prestdeut adventures to accompany the ladles In their songs, though he Is not much of vocalist according to his own statemeat. A Hint to the Girls. There are more chances of making a passable husband out of a fool or a crank than out of a drunkard or vicious person. The fool, if not too egotistical, or too sUiy for anything at all, can usually be led, coaxed, oi driven, but the vicious person cannot. The woman who undertakes to reform a man in order to get n husband has undertaken a task that Is not successfully accomplished one time in a thousand. In the lirst place a man who needs to be reform oi before he Is fit a companion is lacking In some of tbe elements which are necessary in the make-up pf -even an average NOT INTRODUCED. Tbe occupant of a boat, while attempting a too ambitioni feat, was upset, and no1 being a swimmer, wwa In considerable danger. A townsman on the bank regarding bis J struggle*, at list appealed in great exoile- j nient to an nndergradnate near him, whose flannel drees seemed to point him opt as no ! Dorice on the water, and who waa also : watching the issuo in evident hesitation. , " For braren's sake, air, if yon can swim, \ give him a hand," be cried ; "he's only a few yards from the bank." "Obi I carf swim well enough, " waa the slowly nttared reply; "but you eee the fellow Lai never been introduced to me."— Clombirii JmtnoL dtrange but true, that tbe more unlueKy a gambler i«, tbe more money be is always putting in tbe bank.

So il i* with a mugwump, There is nulhlng new about him, anil I | II: is old. very old, anil had hi* emulirst wild beast, or fish, or oysler, or whatever lived in the earliest beginning, liegjn to find fault with bis ncighboraml ell hima thief or liar, or saws melldng siiapieiou* In I he courtship «.f the young oyster. The first mugwump, of which devil to Tin- Bljl " Of R h n I If \.m w'ili srudv "the it:i . ■ of ih-.I mi. iV |r wump i». what he trie* to do and what he actually does do. There 1* one lli'.ng donht. and llmt ;* wlielli. r the snake is entitled to any rhasity for ln-Iug a mugwump.' Now we are told that after he caused so much trouble, that is after the fflnnrtBTwF. a»r smsa'srenrnra change in the administration nt Washington. and after lie had lieen alilcl do what hHuyl w long bragged a'toi" .'hat i»"liirn ft'- ones lie placed in power.woJV ten IiFh«^ worse than the ones he turned out You have nil read about it, you know he went to tho Jail* for po*tma*ter*; the penitentiaries for lux-collcctora anil even took traitors for pension clerks. Now | after all this had been done, and it was -•-. si what trouble he hnd caused in the Ihirdegpr Eden, instead of the g.-wl he hull promised, a curse was pronounced upon him. that lie should travel ou his belly in the dust all tho day* of his lire. Now what bothers me Is. Wiii tiP r ire had been going on his belly before he Induced the other ticket. Tt he bad 1 don't blame him for liclng a mugwump. I would loo. ISM sacred history seem* to be a little how lie moved before that, nor how he i came into the Garden: it only says he . was there and doesn't any whether hewiggkil. walked.. or. licw. into -il— Frofaaaj history is. however, rather clear; from what can be gathered there it ap|icar» as though the mugwump had Iwen on the flat of his back at least tweniy-fmir years. ; ever since Abraham Lincoln had been elected' President . That Garden was an elegant place for a mugwump. Of course lie wus never ill any place! The administration was firsnclaa*. the government was on friendly terms With all surrounding nations. Adam nnd Eve had everything they they ever had : the only possible fault • lint rniil.1 lie found was. that the Coin. •hat that Com-

missioner of Agriculture had planted loo many apple trees, ami there was rather an over production of apple j.ck. Just previous to this, there had been a tcrri- ' ble rebellion, but tho good nqgeb had triumphed; tho country whs saved and ! Adam had forgotten all about the "un- ! pleasantness," nnd lived in just a* much • harmony with the people on one river as on tlie other. He didn't Iriive any trott- , ble Willi his wife., ills doilies were , never out of repair; his dinner was al- ! ways ready at noon, and lie was never accused with running after the red-liead-i eil woman next door. Eve had never heard of Heiva Lock wood and woman's , rights; never had attendid a (mliiical convenllon nor asked her huslMntl lo J vote the Prohibition ticket, until tin | mugwump made her believe things were , all wrong in. her husband's party. Shi ( bad been |ierfectly enntented uriiil the , mugwump made lier belti ye her. taxes were loo high, that »hj was paying too [ high a tariff for her silk dresses and diar monds. Unit Mis. Wlnslon's sooibing , syrup wuold be cheap- r If I he internal ^ revenue were abolished, tint Adam , loafed in the saloon nro- nd the corner r too mnch, and was paying too much at-' . tcntion to other women. Bight Eve commenced to be a politician. t5K was part mugwump, part P. ohlbltlooisl. and a terror to Adam In general^ Just i as soon as she began to lie a public wok man, it was astonisliing w' at she knew. r nnd what an Immense amount of dlssat , isfactlon (be caused. Ttie first thing she t did was to complain of Ail. m's clothes , una lnsl« upon him sending to England for a new suit. Adam said he had ni j money to pay the tariff, and beside thai , lie believed in encouraging home indus h try. Then the mugwump wanted thi . l iriff revised and Eve insis rd on run- , nlng the government herself, so that sc t much money would not be required, and , Adam have more lucre lot buy clothes, false teeth and poodle does. Then site oommerfred lo talk about hor neighbors and Kin societies. Why there was not a good nor a sensible wo. man in the world but herself, and the rntv best man was Is mugwump, and even he did not walk exactly straight I simctimes, and was always chewing - card mum seed. .Thinp weren't plrasam for Adam; he was di-gitslcd: liewa- . I slrrplvta al niglit; his dinner was Taste- | less, nor eould he enjoy his newspaper "land cigar. He" slopped, his regular » ' slralghtont daily, nnd subscribed foi 3 ! Jlarpfr't Wffklj/.
