A Nashville husband was sitting in his store the other day when a letter in familiar hand-write was handed in to him. It was from his wife whom he had left at home that morning with every assurance of her affection and d< vetion. But the very first sentence startled him. and as he read on the most horrible suspicions seized him. “I am forced to tell you something that I kuow will trouble vou, but it is my du:y to do so. lam determined you shall know it, let the result be what it may. I have known for a week that this trial was coming, but I kept it to. myself until to-day, when it has reached a crisis and I cannot keep it any longer. You must not censure me too harshly, for you must reap the results as well as myself. Ido hope it wont crush you. The flour is all outPlease send me some this afternoon.

Few men in either party have cared to examine into the merits of this controversy for Dibble’s seat. The question became a party one* and was so decided. But the chances made in the rules to compos this result may have grave consequence. The lobby is crowded with all manner of schemes for disposing of the millions of surplus revenue which now go annually to the treasury. Robeson is interested in some of these. It is notorious that Robe" son controls the speaker. Ordinarily, a determined minority would be able to prevent the consummation of any odious job, but with the speaker and committee on rules, of which he is a member against them they will be powerless. The majority may wipe out all rules, and the speaker carry on the business of the house in such fashion as he and his confederates may fancy. A dispatch from Washington says: “Since the speaker’s ruling of Monday last, the lobby have been in high glee. These ccrmorants, who haunt every nook and cranny of the capitol; have for months been despondent because of their failure to get throngh their schemes. Now, however, they are exultant and defiant, and give reason to believe that the speaker will at the proper time maae rulings wnlch will not prejudice the numberless jobs they have in hand.” It is late in the session, however. and the consent of the senate, which is pretty eyenly divided, to outrageous, jobbing schemes would be difficult to obtain.

Private Postal Card.—A bill to issue a private-message'card is in the Senate and House committees on postoffices and postroadS. The card is about the size o the postal card now in use, with a flap that conceals the message. It will, if used by the postoffice department, give to the people the cheap postage of the present card, with the advantage of the privacy that most persons prefer. Ot course it will interfere with the reading matter of many postmasters, who feel it their duty to read all the cards that pass through their offices. It has the convenience and simplicity of the open card, a d no doubt will be used by thousands who desire to send brief messages, but object to the publicity of an open card, and are now obliged to write letters. To business men of extensive correspondence it would be of the greater convenience, and to poor peoole an ideal cheap postage. If it can be furnished to the government as cheaply as the open card, and it is believed that it can be, there are strong |arguments in favor of its adoption to replace the open card.

Worth trying.—An exchange says: At this season, when rats leave their winter retreats, they are more troublesome and destructive than at any other season A person who had suffered much damage from this detestable vermin found that whitewash made yellow with copperas, covering stones and rafters with it and putting the crystals of the copperas in holes made by rats’ not only completely routed them, but cockrochea and mice also. Every spring the dose should be repeated. About barns, kitchens and cellars there is generally so much food obtained by rats and mice that it is not surprising they increase in the manner they do, in the absence of good cats.

A ragged New York bootblack looking verv gloomy, last week, was crying: “Shine’yer boots: shine ’em up for a cent.” He got a customer who asked him why he asked only a cent. “Because I’m hungry,” he said.
