GOING INTO .PARTNERSHIP.

} Mrs. Nottingham, being unable to get the means from her husband to _supply her necessities, at last informed him that she should resume her profession of teaching, so as to be as independent as she was before she married. ; G 2 . “You’re not in earnest, my dear?” said Mr. Nottingham. '~ ¢ & “Of ‘course I'm in earnest. . Why not? Do you suppose 1 intend to go. this way; begging and praying for every farthing I 'spend? I’ve been independent once, and I ean be S 0 again.” f o e e “No; but look here!” Mr. Nottingham had rigen, and was pacing up and down rather uneasily. “My wife can’t go to teaching!- What is it that you want ?” ; b “What I can earn!” proudly retorted Mrs. Nottingham.. .~ “But put it into words.” ; “Well, then, look here,” said Mrs. Nottingham, “I have-always done my own work and sewing. Considered as. a -cook, I demand three pounds a A P S B a 3 your wite, and the fawiul 1o f‘y of your children, -at least ten pounds more. And then I shall not consider myself properly compensated.” ~ “Whew-w-w! Let me see--it’s nearly £2O a month!” : . *I consider my services as worth that, at least,” said Mrs. Nottingham, with dignity: “but.if you would rather hire a house-keeper, I will prosecute my original idea of opening a select school.” i : Mr. Nottingham walked up and down the room once more, rumpling his hair into porcupine fashion with his fingers. “I'll consult Unecle Wetherbee,” he said. : : ‘“Very well,” said Mrs. Nottingham, “I’'m quite willing to abide by his de- | cision.?: .. : 'Unéle Wetherbee, a bronze-visaged ex-sailor, who was comfortably smoking his meerschaum up stairs, was gummoned at once. He came down —rather slowly, on account of a wooden leg—and listened to the pleading on either side with the utmgst gravity. “D’ve want to know my “opinion ?” said Uncle Wetherbee, when they both had finished. . sCertainly,” said Mr. Nottingham. “Of course,” said his wife. “Then look here,” said Unele Wetherbee. “Matrimony’s: a co-partner-shjp cof joys and sorrows, and it onght to be of money as well. My advice is, Nephew Nicholas, that you divide even with your wife.” ° : “Divide—even!” Dblankly repeated Mr. Nottingham. “Or, better still,” went on Uncle Wetherbee, take ene-third of the mon-. ey yourself, lay aside one-third for household purposes.’and give the other third to Phebe.” : A “Yes, but uncle—" : «Yon asked my advice,®said Uncle Wetherbee. “Thereitis. And I have nothing more to say.” | ; And off he stumped up stairs again. - Mr. Nottingham looked at his wife. Ilis wife looked back again at him. “Well,” said Phaebe. . , “Will try it,” said Mr. Nottingham. “It seems a wild idea, but Uncle Wetherbee is a remarkably sensihle man.— Yes, I'll try it.” e And for the next three years Mr. Nottingham remained in partneiship with his wife on these unusual financial conditions. :

~ “Though for the life of me, I can’t see what you do with all your money,” said he to his wife. 2

Hard Facts from Senater Gordon. ‘Sherman’s Cast-Iron Policy in the Light . of History. ) Bankruptey and Ruin Invariably Follow Suda : dén Contraetion. L | i . " WASHINGTON, May 6, 1878,—Senator Gordon -arraigned the insane con~ tractionists in a ringing speech in the Senate to-day. The pending question. was the financial bill reported from the Senate Committee on Finance, and the Georgia Senator made 1t the text of a comprehensive review of the financial situation. In opening he pietured 'in glowing terms the prespects and condition of the country in the years immediately succeeding the war. Then he pictured the gradual change from prosperity to-»-aﬁnrosl; universal adversity, and sounded the key-note of his speech, which was that go'b all this want and suffering and financial distress ill-timed li;md unwése legislation was responsible, IForthe sake of 'argxixmdggﬁ)g‘% %Tff%f flT‘i'ﬁt' 'é‘ﬁ'?’é‘t‘:'gpii?i‘ ments were desirable; but he denied that, because specie payment was desirable, therefore the shortest possible cut to resumption, regardiess of consequences, was either ‘wise or statesmanlike. /| He liad known “of a General, he said, who had deemed 1t wise, when a strong position was to be captured, not to capture the position by a direct assault at the expense of his army, but to attack by some other and longer road, which it.took more time to travel, but saved many lives. But the contractionists insist that the country should march right on to the moats of bankruptey and over the abattis of ruin to capture the citadel at a cost which was fearful to eontemplate, and would make it very doubtful if they could hold the fort after it was taken. A strong part of the Senator’s speech was his comparison of the results of the policy of contraction on the one hand, as represented by the financial history of England under Peel, and of the United States since the war, and of the policy of stimulation, as represented by Fraunce and Italy. The Kingdom of England and the Republic of America, he said, had pursued the fatal policy of contraction.At the end of an exhausting war each said that specie payments must be resumed forthwith, and to that end each had proceeded to contract the volume of ' circulating medium in order to bring it to the standard of the narrow coin basis left over from the strain of war. In both casestheresult wag the same; ruin followed.. The Republic of France and the Kiungdom of Italy, on the other hand, pursued the opposite policy. They started with the idea that the wisest way to resame was to stimulate the industries of the country until its productions should bring in sufficient gold to redeem the inereased circulation which had been used to stimulate the industries of tne counfry. In both cases the result had been prosperity. The logic of these facts was irrefutable, and the Senator hammered them in. first-class style. ~ The galleries appreciated the speech, - but gilt-edged Senators did not, for the reason that they were not sufliciently polite to stay and hear the side of the argument which they refuse: to believe in. :

Signs. S : Peopie who still adhere to the iook-at-your-tongue-and-feel-of- your - pulse doctor sometimes express not a little curiosity in regard lo Dr. R. V. Pierce’s original method of distinguishing all forms of_ chronic disease without personal consultation. Some even suppose that he accomplishes this through clairvoyance, or some other species of professional jugglery. All this is utterly false. Ile claims to determine disease by the rational methods of science only. Says Comley, in his Biographical Encyclopedia of New York State, speaking of this distinguished physician: *“He perceived thatin each of the natural sciences the -investigator proceeds wccvurding to a system of signs.. The geolozist in his cabinet accurately determines and describes the cleft of rock, which he has never ‘seen, from the minute specimen on his table. And the chemist in his laboratory notes the constituents of the sun with the same precision that he analyzes a erystal of rock salt.

A strong effort is being made in England to work up a powerful antiwar sentiment, and another “national convention” in London, to protest against the government’s war measures, is to be called.

Senator Kellogg’s attention' having been called to a statement in a West- | ern paper to the effect that one of the ! Louisiana Returning Board had refus- - ed to go on with the counting of the vote for Hayes, and that he (Mr. Kellogg) had been forced ‘to raise $6,000 to induce this member to goon, he declined to say whether the statement was or was not ‘true, declaring that the time had not arrived for him to speak on the subject.

~ Senator Thurman- proposes to stop the Pacific railroads from cheating the governmert by creating a new office, whose incumbent is to be called the auditor of Pacific railroad accounts. Mr. Thurman is of the opinion that it will require an entire bureau to look after the accounts of the companies, ‘and on Tuesday introduced a bill pro-. viding for such a bureau. This measute is understood to have ben devised for the purpose of thwarting Jay ‘Gould, who had accepted the situation under . the bill just passed, and was rapidly adjusting himself and his plang to the changed circumgtances.

. The Reason Why. ' (Harrisburg Patriot,) i There is a strong but unavowed political reason for the_hostility to the Texas Pacific railroad in portions of the north. This is the fear of the increased representation of Texas in ‘Congress which would result from the rapid influx of population in the wake of the great railroad. Texas has now six members of Congress. If the Texa3 Paecific railroad bill should pass tke representation of the State of Texas would be trebled in a few years.— Much of the drain of population wo’d come from the less favored localities of the north and east. Hence the reluctance to favor legislation which would tend to give Texas a political preponderance though increasing the wealth and prosperity of the whole country. The spirit is a narrow and selfish one, but it has a weight which ‘has not been fully taken into consideration in estimating the 'strength of the opposition to this measure.

Investigate. .

Of course, the confederates who betrayed the people and helped to put Mr. Hayes in the White House do not wish to have their practices exposed, and they may co-operate now, as they did in the closing hours of the last Congress, to keep the “whole truth” buried out of ' sight.
