THE WIFE’S ALLOWANCE.
There were people enough to envy Millicent Haughton when she married Radecliffe Gates. She was only a district school teacher, at so much per month, without home or parents. He was a wealthy banker, who seemed to have nothing on earth to do but to.indulge his whims and caprices to their utmost bent, and the world in general announced that Milly Haughton “had done uncommonly well for herself.” But Milly did not look happy upon that golden July morning, with the sunshine steaming through the oriel window of the great breakfast room at Gates’ Place, and scattering little drops of gold and crimson and glowing purple on the mossy ground of the stone-colored carpet. o
She was dressed in a loose white cambric wrapper, looped and buttoned with blue, and a single pearl arrow upheld the shining masses of her’ auburn hair. Her eyes were a deep liquid hazel; her complexion as soft and radiant as the dimpled side of an early peach; and the little kid-slippered foot that patted the velvet ottoman beneath was as perfect and tapering as a seuiptor could have wished it.
Mr. Gates, from his side of the damask draped table, eyed her with the complacent gaze of proprietorship.— She was his wife. He liked her to look well, just as he wanted his horses properly groomed and ‘his conservatories kept in order; and he troubled himself very little about the shadow on her brow. ;
“I'm in earnest, Radcliffe!” she said, with emphasis. -~ °' ) “So I supposed, Mrs. Gates,” said he, leisurely folding his paper—a sign that the news within was thoroughly exhausted—*“so I supposed. But it isn’t at all worth while to allow yourself to get excited. 'When I say a thing, Mrs. Gates, I generally mean it. And I repeat it—if you need money for any necessary purpose, I shall be most willing and happy to accommodate you.” ; : : Millicent bit her full, red lower lip, and drummed impatiently on the table with her fingers. “And I mean to come meekly imploring you for every five-cent piece I happen to want.” “Yes, Mrs. Gates—if you prefer to put the matteriin that light.” - “Radecliffe,” she coaxed, suddenly changing her tone, “do give me &n allowance—l don’t care how small! Do not subject me to the humiliation of pleading for a little money half a dozen times a day. You are rich.” . “Exactly, my dear,” nodded this Benedict; “and that’s the way I made my fortune, by looking personally after every penny, and I mean to keep it up.” T : “But think how I was mortified yesterday, when Mrs. Armour came to ask me if I could subscribe fifty cents towards buying a hand carriage for our washerwoman’s lame child—only fifty cents—and I had to say, ‘I must ask my husband to.give me the money on his return from the city!"—for I hadn’t even fifty cents of my own.” . “All. very right and proper!” said Mr. Gates, playing with the huge rope of gold that hung across his chest in the guise of a wateh chain. “Other ladies are not kept penniless!” : S
I“That rests entirely between them and their husbands.”
“I will not endure it,” cried she, rising, with cheeks dyed scarlet and indignantly glittering eyes. Radcliffe Gates leaned baek in his chair with complacency. o “I will have money!” said she defiantly. : ;
“How are you going to get it, my dear ?” retorted her husband, with an aggravating smile. -~ “You have nothing of your own—absolutely nothing. The money is all mine, and I mean to keep it!”
Milly sat down again, twisting her handkerchief around and around. She was not prepared with an impudent answer. o
“And now, my dear,” said the banker, after a moment or 'two of overwhelming silence, “if yowll be good enough to sew a button onmy glove, i go ‘down town. I have already wasted too much time.” G
So the verbal passage-at-arms ended, and Milly felt herselt worsted. Shef watched her husband drive off in an elegant open barouche, drawn by two long-tailed chestnut horses, glittering with plated harness, and’ turned away, elmost wishing she was Millicent Haughton once again. behind her desk in the little red schoolhouse. .
~She looked around at the inlaid furniture, Aubusson carpets, and satin window-draperies, and thought, with a passionate pang, how little all this availed her. : ¢
“lt is provoking of Radcliffe!” she murmured. “I’ve half a mind to go out to service, or dressmaking, or something—for I must have money of my own, and I will have!” 1 Just then a servant knocked at the door, with a basket and a note. “An old lady in a Shaker bonnet and a one-horse wagon left it,” said the girl, with a séfi'cely disgusted titter. “She wouldn’t come in'though I invited her to.” ;
Mrs. Gates opened the note. It ran in a stiff, old-fashiond caligraphy, as if the pen was an unwonted implement in the writer’s hand. : - “DEAR MiLLY:—The strawberries in the south medder lot are jess ripe. You used to pick them there when you was a little gal; so Penelope picked a lot and we made bold to send them to you and aunt Arminta is going to the city to-morrow. We hope you will like them. Affectionately your friend, | “MARY ANN PEABODY.”
The tears sparkled in the bride’s eyes. - For an instant it seemed to her as if she were a merry child again, picking wild strawberries in the golden rain of July sunshine, with the scent of wild roses on the air, and the gurgle of the little trout stream close by. And as she lifted the lid of the great basket of crimson, luscious perfume, a sudden idea darted into her head. ¢
“Now I will have money of my own!” she cried out—“ Money that I will earn myself, and thus will hé independent.” : .
- Half an hour later, Mrs. Gates came down .stairs, to the infinite amazement of Rachel, the chambermaid,and Louisa the parlor maid, in a brown gingham dress, a white pique sunbonnet, and a basket on her arm. “Won’t you have the carriage ?” said the latter, as Mrs. Gates beckoned to a passing omnibus.
“No, I won’t!” said the banker’s lady. And within the city limits she alighted, and began work in good earnest. % 5
“Strawberries!. who'll buy my wild strawberries!” rang out her clear, shrill voice as she walked along, lightly balancing the weight on her Arm,
LIGONIER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3., 1=%4.
and enjoyed the impromptu masquerade as only a spirited young woman can. Sl
Mrs. Powler bought four quarts for preserving, at twenty-five cents a gquart. - 0o e % .
“Wild berries has such a flavor,” said the old lady, reflectively. “And ’tain’t often you get’em here in thecity. s’pose you don’t come around reg’lar, young woman ?” “No, I don’t ma’am!” - “Because you might get some good customers,” said Mrs. Powler. Miss Libbie Hall, who keeps boarders, purchased two quarts; Mrs. Captain Carbary took one and then Milly jumped on the ears and rode wearily down town.
“Fve got a dollar and seventy-five cents of my own now at all events,” said she to herself.
“Strawberries! nice, ripe,wild strawberries! Who will buy my strawberries!”
Her sweet voice resounded: through the halls of the great marble building on whose first floor the great bank was situated. . : It chanced to be a dull interval of business just then, and the cashier looked up with a yawn. :
“T say, Bill,” said he to the youngest clerk, “I have an ideathat some strawberries wouldn’t go badly. Call inthe woman.”
Billy, nothing loth, slipped off his stool with a pen behind each ear, and scampered out into the hall. , - So Milly sold another quart. As she was going to give change for the cashier’s bill, the president himself came in, blustering and brisk as usual. : “Eh? What?” barked out Radcliffe Gates. “Strawberries? Well, I don’t care if I take a.few myself. Here, young woman, how do you sell your strawberries ?”’ . Millicent pushed back her Shaker bonnet, and executed a sweeping courtesy. : ; “Twenty-five cents a quart, sir, if youplease,” purred she with much humility. - .

S : el < ———— About Transponjtation.' A Chicago correspondent of the New York Sun gives some interesting facts and figures relating to the new railroad just completed by the Baltimore & Ohio Road from Chicago to Baltimore, which are exceedingly well calculated to cause uneasy apprehensions in New York and to strike President Jewett of the Erie, Vanderbilt of the New York Central, and Tom Scott of the Pennsylvania Road with consternation. It appears from a talk with the managers of this enterprise that the new line from Chicago to Baltimore is 132 miles shorter than the New York Central or Erie line, and c¢an carry freight so cheap that the New. York Central and Erie Roads would starve at it. The Baltimore & Ohio ean carry. freight from Chicago to Baltimore for 25 cents a hundred and make money, while the present rate is 835 cents. The cheaper rates are explained by looking at the liabilities of the Hudson River and New York Central, amounting to $17,000,000, on which interest must be paid. The liabilities of the Erie are sl26'000,000, and the Pennsylvania Central stands at $111,000,000, while the liabilities of the Baltimore & Ohio are only about $40,000,000. The railroad kings have handicapped New York commerce with their million-dollar railroad debts, while Indianapolis, the center of the corn basin, and Baltimore, with the solvent, economical Baltimore & Ohio, have been at work building elevators, ecean steamship ! lines, and making cheap freights, till New York has lost her prestige. New York, say the managers of this new road, has been asleep for fiv= years, and has allowed the Baltimorcans to steal a march on them which can never be made up(?!). L
Loox OoT FOR THEM.—A party of deceiving imposters are at present traveling through- the country districts, swindling farmers with dry goods samples, and it will therefore be well to keep a sharp lookout for them. There game is to go from house to house exhibiting samples of cotton goods, &c.. These they propose to sell for about one quarter of their real value, and of course take alarge number of orddrs, with the promise to deliver the goods soon. They then exhibit - a lot of cloths and cassimeres, almost worthless, delivering the goods on the spot, and receiving the cash therefor. Of course the cotton goods are never forthcoming, while the swindlers have disappeared with the money they received for worthless cloths.—Exchange. :

FREIGHT TRACKS FROM CHICA - . GO TO NEW YORK. —_— . | Proposed Laying of More Tracks by the Lake Shore and New York : i Central. The experiment lately begun by the New York Central Railroad, of constructing a third and fourth track from Buffalo, 298 mile, bids fair to be extended to Chicago. This is undoubtedly one of the most gigantic railway projects ever contemplated. Should it be realized, there will be 6,000 freight trains ccnstantly in motion between Chicago and New York, and freight rates will be greatly reduced. The New York @raphic of the 23d ult. has the following on this subject: ~ A new and important railroad movemens is said to be on the tapis. It is understood that the management of the New York Central and Lake Shore Railroads are contemplating the formation of a joint company, with a view.of having exelusive freight tracks all the way from Chicago to New York and Boston. The extra two tracks between Albany and Buffalo are nearly complete, and the plan is to continue the extra double tracks from Buffalo to Chicago. When this is done, it will be possible to carry freight at very much cheaper rates than it can now be handled on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, notwithstanding the shorter distance on the last-mentioned railway. It is believed that the freight can be transported on an exclusive freight track at rates not very much above those charged on the Erie Canal. i A
~ The trains are to be run at the rate of 8 miles an hour, which is the rate that gives the least wear and tear of track and cars. On a uniform timetable, the freight track not being hampered by passenger trains or trains of unequal rates of speed, an incalculably large amount of business can thus be done. Under such an arrangement it would be possible to run trains which would be less than half ' a mile apart. - Now, as the distance from ‘New York to Chicago is about 1,000 miles, if we allow that under such regulations as the above there would be three trains of from ten to ‘twenty cars per mile, we should have the enormous aggregate, on the two “tracks, of 6,000 trains constantly -in motion. = Such a stupendous amount of business as this would -enable the companies to reduce freight charges to a point far below anything now tho't of. TUnder a uniform time-table it would be possible to throw open the freight business to general competition . and take private cars upon the line in the same way that private ca-'nal-boats are taken upon our canals. ‘This would give free trade in freight in its most perfect form. With a quadruple track it is believed that the Central Railroad could defy competition and carry freight at one-third the charges of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail‘road, and the immediate effect of the change would be the ruin of the Erie Railway. The way this grand scheme is to be carried out is as yet undetermined, but it is in contemplation, we are assured; in fact, it is forced upon the New York Central by the exigencies of the situation. . Of course, in taking this departure, the New York Central will cut loose from all connections with other trunk lines, and will undoubtedly force the Pennsylvania Central into a similar arrangement, whieh would give those two roads the practical monopoly and complete command of the freight business, at the same time meeting the growing demands of the country for cheap transportation. , ; ‘The cost of this vast improvement ~would be commensurate with its importance, but after all. would not amount to such a sum as to be impossible for such a powerful corporation as would be formed by the combination of the New York Central & Hudsou River and the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Companies. The first-named company, with the lease of the Harlem road and its additional tracks now nearly complete between Albany and Buffalo, has practically a quadruple track from New York to Buffalo, and of the whole distance between Buffalo and Chicago—s4l miles —the L. S. & M. S. Company has now 323 miles of double track. There remains, therefore, but 219 miles of single track to be laid to make that section a double-track railway, and but 541 miles more of double-track to complete the quadruple track from New York to Chicago. At the latest prices paid for honest and economical constructions this work could be done for $25,000,000. The united capital of the two roads amounts to $139,428,300, and founded debts of the two roads are about $64,000,000. An addition of $25,000,000 to the latter would make the aggregate liabilities of the combined company amount to $228,000,000, which, with the new tracks proposed and present length of main road and branches, would make an average indebtedness per mile of single track of less than $32,000.
If these things continue in the present style, people will after seventyfive or eighty years begin to have their confidence in the cloth shaken. An Towa minister who considered the service of Mammon as a little better job than that of God combined the Insurance Agency business with psalm singing, and induced a devout brother—an unsuspecting sheep of the flock —to take out a policy. Then he proposed to negotiate a loan for his dear brother -of slo,ooo,if he would consent to allow the policy to be deposited with the lender as collateral. The preacher got the loan, but being of a short memory, he forgot to turn the funds over to the proper owner, not only that but he left the city and forgot to return, and is still at large.— And now the swindled follower of the clericdl light has been sued for the money which brought the facts in the case to the surface. The name of the preacher is given as Copeland.
IT is now ascertained that Hon. D. W. Voorhees did not vote against the gold bill of 1869- He wasn’t there.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS. Taxing the Stock of Foreign Corpo- ' rations—Colored Children Have No Right to Attend White Schools. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25.—The Supreme Court delivered two important opinions to-day, both' on appeal from this county. In the case of the Western . Union Telegraph = Company against the county treasurer, the action restraining the collection of a tax on $BOO,OOO of capital stock of the company -in this State, the court affirms the decision of the lower court against the right to collect the tax, saying that if this $BOO,OOO could be taxed the entire $40,000,000 could be, and not only here, but in every State, in ‘the Union where the lines run.— The decision plainly conveys the fact that the State cannot legally provide for the taxation of shares of stock of foreign cornorations, a feature from which Buskirk dissents, holding that the Legislature has power to pass Sl{lch a law, but that, under the existing assessment act, the Western Union was not liable. ' The other case is one in which the rights of colored children in the public schools are involved. The county court held that, where there were not fifteen colored children in any school district, in which even seperate schools are provided, they had the right to be admitted into the regular school with white children. The Supreme Court rTeverses the decision, holding that schools provided under Sec. 23 of the first article of the constitution are only for citizens, and at the time. of the adbption of the constitution only white people were citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment does not delegate to the General Government the right to control the domestic affairs of a State, and it has been so decided by the United States Supreme Court. The court says that the Legislature having undertaken to provide separate schools for colored children, the law being that such schools shall be organized where there are fifteen children in the district, they are clearly of opinion that colored children are not entitled to admission in schools provided for white children so long as that act remains in forece. The decision of the lower court. was made by Judge Perkins, a former democratic member of the Supreme Court. Exception was noted, and a petition for rehearing.
- The decision creates considerable interest in legal and school circlés.— The decision was delivered by Chief, Justice Buskirk. = Very few districts in the State have-a sufficient number of colored people to organize separate schools, and the decision will practically cut colored children out of facilities for education. I — e - RR—- : Sensible Adviee, Democratic newspapers are here and there hoisting the names and advocating the claims of this man and that for the Presidency and Vice Presidency in 1876. - Just this sort of . personal politics is the rock on which we are liable to be split. The man who - would be an available candidate today might be totally unfitted to lead the party two years hence. In these days of rapid political changes, when men are daily going down and others rising above them, it is impossible to conjecture what two years may bring forth. Let us now look after our local and State organizations, and when the proper time comes be in position to select in a spirit of harmeny and accord the most available Demoecrat ’ to lead in the Presidential fight in 1876. Do this and we may win the fight, but if personal preferences are to outweigh the general welfare of the party in making that selection, the victories which we have won this fall will prove of little avail. ___._.__«‘.—__,._,,. : Kerr for Speaker.

Woman suffrage suffered a disastrous defeat- in Michigan. The strongminded women set their hearts upon a triumph for their cause in that State, and there is* reason to Dbelieve from the exultant tone of their newspaper organs that they were sanguine of success. Led by the indomitable Mrs. Cady Stanton, they stumped the State with vigor and carried their appeal into every household. The returns of the vote on the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution foot up: For suffrage, 36,000; against suffrage, 126, 000. The strong-minded are in a minority, therefore, of 90,000. It is evident that among the many things that the recent elections smashed, female voting was one, and that it wlll have to be laid away with the third term, sumptuary legislation, Ben Butler, and other dead. dead things. — New York World. : |
It 1s now given out from Washington that President Grant's letter written in 1872 relative toa re-nominalion for a second term (the letter was published in the Journal of Saturday) defines his present position in regard to the third term. The substance of the letter is that the oftice of President had sought him, and not he the office, and that while he would do nothing in the way of seeking a renomination, he would not decline it if tendered. If General Grant holds the same views in regard to a third term that he did in regard to a second, a large majority of the American people do not. Enough is enough.—lndianapolis Journal.

Our reporter yesterday learned the facts -relative to one of the most mournful tragedies which have ever been committed in the young State of Nebraska. i By
Near Humboldt, a' town. on the Atechison & Nebraska railroad, lived a widow and her daughter. = . _ Some days since,a man who claimed to have just arrived from Kansas stopped at the house, and, during his visit, made insulting:propositions to the girl. The mother, being called, ordered him to leave the house, which he refused to do.. She then armed herself with a pistol, and.endeavored to frighten him by pointing it at him. He, however; refused to withdraw. She thereupon fired two shots, which passed under a chair, He still refused to comply with the demands of the womamn, stating in a.jocose manner that he thought she did mot mean to hurt anyone. : = - - The girl just then stepped up to her mother, and remarked that she had better put the pistol up, or some one would be shot, at the same time desiring the man to withdraw. The woman again raised the -pistol, ‘but before she could pull . the . trigger, which would undoubtedly have sent the bullet speeding towards his bedy, her daughter caught the barrel in her hand. " Unfortunately, the weapon was furnished with very fine springs, and required but the gentlest touch on the trigger to discharge it. The woman'’s finger was on the trigger at the time the girl canght hold of it, and by some accident the pistol was discharged, the ball entering the girl's breast. and passing through her body, killed her immediately. - : The sad occurrence occasioned considerable excitement in the neighborhood; the man was arrested for using indecent and boisterous language ; but what further will be done in the case our informant could not say. .

The United States Senatorship. B [From the Seymour Democrat.] : We.see that a few of our democratic exchanges are urging the coming Legislature to elect Hon. D. W. Voorhees to the Unites States Senate. 'With all “qQue deference, we must dissent from any one who would give such advice to our ILegislators. The democratic legislature must not reward men who have been untrue to their trusts. Mr. Voorhees voted for the infamous sal-ary-grab law, doubling the salary of the President, and largely increasing the salaries of Supreme Judges of the "United States, inecreasing the salary of Congressmen, and, what was worse ‘than all, voting each one of the latter, at the last hour of their respective terms, five thousand dollars back pay. The democratic members of the Legislature cf this State, in our opinion, would betray their trust, should they -elect such a man-to represent the State in the Senate of the United States, and could not expect the people of the State to re-elect them, or put further confidence in the democratic party, after the election of such a man -to such an important office. : We regret to be compelled to write thus of Mr. Voorhees. eis an able man, and. has reflected honor on the party. . But he did not abide by democratic prineciples, and in an evil hour did that for which he must receive the condemnation of all lovers of economy and good government. Could Mr. Voorhees offer any atonement for ‘that act, we would receive it. - But he can offer none; he must retirve to private life, as he has publicly declared he woula, until his good deeds will overbalance, in the minds of the people, that one act which now obscures the creditable deeds of a long and honorable publie life. : ' -»—~-—»_-—'—<4.—'——— D Decrease in Emigration. ; 1t appears from a tabular statement, furnished by the Bureau of Immigration at New Yorl to.the Banker's: Magazine for November, that the aggregate immigration .for the . nine months of the year is 103,283 less than for the same period of last year. - The R‘ussian.}immigration is' 6,225 against 4,100 for 1873.

Reference is made to the proposed tunneling of the Hudson river between New York and Jersey cities. A company has been formed; and has already commenced operations. The plan proposed by the managing engineer is to build a tube of brick masonry three feet thick and twenty-five feet in diameter. The proposition is to sink a shaft on the Jersey shore sixty-five feet deep, then tunnel to the center of the river on a descending grade of one foot to the hundred, repeating the operation on the other side.
