FOR THE

TBRRE HAUTE, MARCH 81, 1877.

rrri THE TABLES TUBNEIkrt~ To hearof abrinking and timid yoang men being dragged to the altar bj "ber" stern relatiues, and compelled by the rr moral snaaion of a revolver to slip their necks into the connubial noose has become to dreadfully monotonous that it is real refreshing to hear of an instance where the sex of the compelled party is reversed. Such a case occurred recent ly at Bloomington, Illinois. A young gentleman of that city,"haH3ed Barrows —was devotedly attached to a young lady in Peoria, who led bis trusting ycung heart into the delusion that she reciprocated bis passion. But she changod her mind about the desirability of a union with him, and wrote a note to him dissolving the engagement. Many a young man in such a case would have sunk under this harsh blow, and letting

Concealment, likfs a worm 1' tbe baa Prey upon his damask cheek would pine away into the silerft tomb. Mr. Barrow's did not. He was not of the pining away variety.

He sent a telegram to the recalcitrant fair one, beggiDg ber to come at once to his bedside, as he was dangerously ill Being a woman, she could not refuse to minister to one whom she once regarded tenderly, and whose illness was doubt" leas caused by ber cruelty. She hastened to Bloomington. She was met at the depot by ber lover's friend, who condaeted ber to Barrows bouse.

There she was astounded to find her lover, apparently enjoying tbe best of health. Before she bad opportunity to inquire into what bad effected this miraculous convalescence, the door was looked on her, and she was informed that she had been brought there to mar ry Barrows. She declined with positivenesa Mr. Barrows produced a revolver and talked sanguinely she feared for ber life, and consented. The obliging friend hurried off for a parson before she could again change her mind, and in a few minutes the bonds were as firmly tied as ministerial manipulations conld do it. For a day and a night the

httsband kept his wife locked up with him in the house. At tbe end of that time she succeeded in escaping and making her way back to Peoria, where she is now preparing to institute proceedings for divorce. -w

S1QN1NQ RECOMMENDATIONS. The Indianapolis Journal a few days ago bad a sensible and timely editorial concerning tbe civil service reform and recommendations to office. After referring to the general expectation that the new President will do whatever is possible towards purifying and elevating the civil service, it makes tbe point that !vory member of the Republican party is as much interested, both for political and party reasons, in civil service reform as tho President is and that if it is expected of him to remove unworthy men from office and appoint none but good ones in their place, then Republicans should take care how they recommend any but good ones for position.

It is impossible," says the Journal, •'that a President should know personally all tbe men he appoints to office, or that he should even be able to make any very thorough inquiry as to their character or qualifications. He must depend (. almost entirely on the recommendation of others, either personal friends or political friends whose position he knows •nd whom he has reason to trust. This being the oase it is manifest that a large portion of the responsibility for good or bad appointments falls on the personal and political friends of tfce President— those who recommend appointments.

And this leads us to say that nothing in American politics is subject to greater abuse than this very thing of making racomtnendatious fcr office. It is at once surprising and humiliating how worthless fellows can get up strong ooomm) ndations for office, and how honorable and high minded men will sometimes sign a paper recommencing for appointment a persou whom in their hearts they despise and whom tbey know to be utterly unfit or unworthy. Sometimes the paper is signed without knowing tbe person recom(tended, and simply because the signer sees the names of others whom he knows and who have probably signed it in the same ignnranoe and fbr the same reason sometimes it is signed upon the request of a person whom the signer does net like to refuse, "and sometimes at the request of the applicant himself and because the person applied to has not moral con rage enough to decline. In such cases each signature obtained by trickery or through the weakness of the signer gives camulatlve strength to tbe recommendation and makes it easier to obtain the next, until by perseverance and pertinacity a 'very formidable list of names Is obtain--ed. Each signer thinks it Is easier to

4algn

than refuse, and so affixes his name 'while perhaps one half do not know the applicant and the other

to be of doubtftal character or capacity. "This is the way many, if not a majority, of the ordinary reoornmnidations tor effloe arc gotten up, and then when the 'appointment is made the very parous who

to condemn It. The whole system la '"demoralising and wrong, unfuat to all 'concerned, and especially so to tbe appointing power. No man should sign reootnmendation for offloe unleas he is drilling to go before the President in person and say: "Mr. President, I %now this msn I know his appointment will reflect credit on yon, on the Republican party and on

publio service,

and I therefore recommend andseklt." Thousands of prominent men wln||ign recommendations for persons op dSibtful character ©r qualiflcationa would, suffer one of their fingeta to be cot off before they wjbplld do this. We repeat the whole syJtfem wrong. If Republicans expect the* President to make good appointments they must recommend only such, and not deceive and mislead him by affixing their ilames to papers because tbey see thereon some other nsme they know, or simply to get rid of tbe applicant."

How true is the saying that "one touch of nature makes the whole world kin!" Here was a prominent clergyman in Louisville, the other day, who requested the ladies who were making clothing for the inmates of the orphan asylum connected with his church, to make the little girls' dresses with ruffles and overskirts, and put bird wings on their hats, and send him the bill for extra expense. He added that it made bim sad to see tbe little ones who had no mother's fingers to dress them tastefully come into church with plain, long, dark clothes, and old style hats that said plainly—we are charity girls, orphans, we don't need to look pretty, and when tbey shrunk into a corner, to hide their ugly clothes, their eyes peeped wistfully all during service at the bright ribbons and ornaments of the happy ohiidren blessed by their parents' love. Did not bis words touch a soft spot in everybody's heart? To be sure tbey did, and who wouldn't gladly cross the street in mud that was pretty deep for the pleasure of shaking hands with such a noble hearted specimen of genuine manhood* yrt

All foreign travelers have remarked upon the superior robustness and health of tbe English women. An Idea of the causes which produce this may be gained from the following account of the habits and dress, and exercises of the daughters of the English Minister Thornton at Washington. They dress with the

fair

reatest plainness, their abundant light braided and tied with ribbons, their dresses rather short and free from unnatural expansion, and their tihoes, that are not at all diminutive, have soles thicker than any American shoemaker would dare to make. Tbe miles that they walk, ride, or "pull on the river" are an unfailing source of astonishment to young ladies whose only miles are danced out on waxed floors. In summer or winter, rain, snow, er slush, they are out, taking their exercise, accompanied by their father or governess. At concerts, opera, or the theater, Lady Thornton comes in brave with silk, laces, and jewels behind are the daughters, with their governess, dressed just ai plainly as when out for a walk, in their long beaver cloth sacques and plain broad-brimmed felt bats down over their eyes,

Henrietta Paine Westbrook announces that the farmers of our country consume on the average two and a half wives apiece 5 Such is the proportion of wife necessary to make one successful farmer. Every prosperous homestead, abounding in well filled barns, fat turkeys, geese and pigs, pumpking pies, fresh eggs and butter, is attained at the expense of two and a half female funerals. Because the baking and broiling, tbe Monday's washing and Tuesday's ironing, the daily dusting and scrubbing, the care of poultry, the making of cheese and butter, the regular three meals per day, and the ornamental fringe to tbe farmer's cuisine el custard, cake, pie and jelly—all these added to the cares and contingencies of maternity —says Mrs. Slocum, who seconds Henrietta P. Westbrook—break down the farmer's wife long before her time, and enables the husband who thrives thiough her labors to enjoy tbe luxury ol tbe second and a fractional proportion of the third.

The

death of Sarah Felix, elder sister of the great Rachel, Is directly attributable to her Indulgence in what tho ladies call "a good scolding." She wa3 a woman of very high temper. Coming out of the theatre, with a friend, one night, she found that ber coach was not waiting. She walked home, and found the coaehman lastly harnessing his horses. She rated bim sharply, and on entering the house bad her irritation heightened exceedingly by the discovery of an ill-trimmed lamp, which filled tbe whole house with stench. She flamed out against the servant who waa responsible for it. She then retired to her bed room, but a moment afterward her servant heard her fall heavily, and running in found her fallen against a dressing-table. She was apparently suffering from a cerebral attack, and waa moaning "My head I My head!" She died shortly a iter. 'rm \,

A Rochester woman wore in the street* a ballroom costume—a drees with abort sleeves and low at the bosom. A crowd followed her, and she was arrested for disturbing tbe public peace. She proved, In court, that she was reputable, and that her oonduot in tbe street was decorous. Her lawyer argued that a dress that might be worn in a ballroom by gaslight without impropriety waa fit to be worn in the street by daylight. She waa released but aubeequently, when ahe made another appearance in the same attire, she was arrested and committed to an asylum for the insane..

Mis* Gail Hamilton says gayly tha ber experience with free paasee has been of tbe moat abort, slender and spaamodic kind, but so fer as it baa extended It baa been one of unalloyed delight. "It baa always seemed waste," she says candidly, "to pay money for going from place to plaoe, because you want all your money to spend when yon get there. I have never yet refused a railroad pass, and, Heaven helping me, I never will 1"

WHY WOMAN WEDS.

Soiae &oef observer of outflalj&s, having looked aboot.agjoog hia married fenjale acquaintances, ventures to |K£e tha follo«flhg list wlf* an attempt to indicate the real reason which influence too many to marry. We hope and believe that he is not correct in the proportion he assigns to the right motive for marrying, but we are sure tbat all the either motives he^ mention* are more or less Influential. He says.!..—..

MARBYINQ FOR A HOMB.

Number Owe married for a home. She got tired of working in a faetory, or teaohing school, or making dresses, and she thought married life Was nothing on earth but, moonlight walks, buggy-ndM, new bonnets, and nothing to da! Well, sbe

has

WANTED SOMEBODY TO PAY HER BILLS.

Number Four married because sbe wanted somebody to pay ber bills. Her husband married for precisely the same reason, so they are both of tbem repenting at leisure.

NOT GOING TO BE LEFT BEHIND,

Number Five married because Fanny White had a nice new husband, and she wasn't going to be left behind Pity if she couldn't get married as well as other folks!

MARRYING FOR MONEY.

Number Six married because she was poor, and wanted riches. Poor child! she never counted on all tbe other things that were inseparable from those coveted riches.

SHE LIKED TO TRAVEL.

Number Seven married because

MARRYING FOR LOVE.

Number Ten married because she loved her husband with all her heart and with all her soul. And sbe loves him still, and will probably always continue to love bim, and is the happiest wife in the world—so she says.

We have the right motive at last—one which, wh^n sanctified by a desire to elevate and improve eacb other, and to live true and holy lives before God, can not fail to call down tbe blessings ot heaven. .But sad is tbe fate of those who marry from wrong motives—to escape their share of life's work, or to get aometbing for which they have nothing to give in return.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.

Prominent among the wrong motives for marrying is the desire for wealth, or for tbe luxuries, the privileges, and tbe ease which wealth is supposed to insure. Wealth is a good thing in itself, and, when rightly used, in ay be made a source of happiness to its possessor, and of great benefit to the world at large but as the leading motive lor forming matrimonial alliance, it almost always proves a snare and curse and thcf who succeed in making a pecuniarily "good match," generally get misery as well as money—more of the former than of tiio latter—and learn, too late that cupidity is a more dangerous toe to peace of mind than even Cupid himself. Solon abolished tbe giving of portions with young women in marriage, unless tbey were only daughters, for he would jt have matrimony become a traffic and when one asked Themistocleswhathetbougot about marying a person without a fortune, he repiiedthat he would rather marry his daughter to airan without an •state, than to an estate witbouta man. Must we not admit that these pagans of ancient Greece were wiser than many a so-called Christian parent, who is ready to sacifico his daughter OR the altar of Mammon, and WHO gives little thought to the man, provided tbe estate be ser cured It has been satirically said that Maidens, like moths, are ever oaught with giareAnd ilammon wins his way, where seraph* might despair.

But though woman, under the present ay stem of unjust discrimication between her and man in the distribution of tbe rewards of industry, is more fre^uenty necessitous, as well as less qualiiied to struggle with adversity, and more confiding in ber nature, and, therefore, under stronger temptations to accept money in place of a heart, yet the stronger sex is scarcely less addicted to mercenary designs in marrying. Fortunehunting is not confined to one sex, but is pursued with equal zest by both, each eager for a "good match'*—in other words, a good barged*. But ia it a good bargain, alter all You may have obtained a large pile of gold, but ia it an adequate pricO tor a free-bom spirit— for a life of love and happiness resigned, and made forever impossible? Mrs. Child says: "I never knew a.marriase for money that did not end unhappily. Yet managing mothers and hearties* daughter* are constan.lv playing tbe aauie unlucky game. I believe that men more frequently marry for love than women, because women think tbey shall never have abetter chance and dread to be dependent. If I may judge by my own observation, marrying for a home ia a most tiresome way of getting a living. Prudence will diet te tbat marriage abould not take place till there •Kill be a reasonable prospect of a comfortable support but thia ia not so difficult to attain as many suppose, and, aa a rule, need not long delay the happy consummation, where industry and economy are incited to activity by true love, and sustained by the hope of a future happy home."

Christ never forgot tbat Hia mother's husband was a mechanic, and be never promised reserved seaU in Heaven for those wbo would be classed with the aristocracy on earth.

who

got her borne whether or no she

is tired of the accompanying incumbrances, this deponent does not positively know. oj

CONSULTING FAMILY INTERESTS.

Number Two married because she bad seven vounger sisters, and a papa yvith a narrow income. Sbe "consulted the interests .of her family," Perhaps «*be would better have consulted her own interests by taking a light washing, or going out by the day to work.

SHE LIKED THE HOUND OF MBS.'*

Number Three married bceause Mrs. sounded so much better than Miss. &be was twenty-nine j'eais and eleven months old, and another mouth would have transmuted her into a regular old maid. Think bow awful that wquld have been!

Bhe

thought she would like to travel. But Mr. Number Seve-i changed his mind aiterward, and all the travelling she has done has been between tbe well and back-kitchen door.

MARRYING OUT OF SPITE.

Number Eight married out of spite, because ber first love had taken to himself a second love. This piece of retaliation might have done ber good at one time, but, in the long run, Number Eight found it did not pay.

WANTED SYMPATHY.

Number Nine married because

Bhe

had read novels and "wanted sympathy." Sympathy is a fine thing, but it cools down at a rapid rate if the domestic kettle is not kept boiling, and tbe do mestio turkey is under, done. Novels and housekeeping don't run well together in harness, to use a sporting phrase, and Number Nine's supply ol sympathy don't hold out very long.

Douglass drew biokself up to hi* full height, and said: "Sir, were we to have met under simitar circumstances you would never have ventured td take my hand, and you shall not do it here." The effect waa electrical. Tbe reverend brother drew off and soon after left the garden.*Nor was there but a single pulpit in all London tbat, alter the Covdnt Garden affair, be was invited to fill and it is believed it hastened his return to America, for tbat followed soon after. Probably Douglass has forgoc the old bitter past new, and would greet tbe Brooklyn divine heartily, and introduce him to the President with the grace of a courtier. sesesaesaeBe 9*. ifcfc WHAT THE CAMS SAY.

Having raised my window curtain to look over a moonlit snowy landscape as I pulled it down the lines of a popular comic song flashed across me. Fatal er ror! The train instantly took it up, and during the rest of the night I was haunted by this awful refrain: "Pull down the bel-lind, pull down the bel-lind somebody's klink kling. O don't be shoo-shoo!" Naturally this differs on the different railways. On the New York Central, where tbe road bed is quite perfect and the steel rails continuous, I have beard this irreverent train give the words of a certain popular revival hymn after this fashion "Hold the fort, for I am San key. Moody alingers still, wave the swish swosb back from klinky, klinky klanky kill." On the New York ana New Haven, where there are many switches, and the engine whistles at every crossroad, 1 have.often heard "Tommy make room for your whoopy, that's a little clang, bumpity, bumpity boopy, clickitty, clickitty clang." Poetry, I fear, fared little better. One starlit night, coming irotn Quebec, as we slipped by a virgin forest, the opening lines of Evangeline flashed upon me. But all I oould make of tbem was this: "This is the forest primeval eval tbe groves of the pines and tbe hem locks locks-locks-lotvocks!". The train was only "slowing" or "braking" up at a station. Hence tbe jar in tbe metre.

A FRESH SCANDAL IN NEW YORK. I*

rNe\v

York Correspondence of the Spring field Republican.] One of the sensations of tbe season has grown out of tbe infatuation of a young woman with Coughlan, the leading actor of the Filth Avenue Theater. She is an heiress to one of the largest fortunes in the citv, and, unfortunately, is the wite of a German nobleman, wbo met and won her while serving his country in a diplomatic capacity. She is a superb blonde h«rrosy complexion and golden hair set off by sparkling black eyes. In a proscenium box ebe can usually be seen when tbe tbeatre is accessible, apparently unconscious of everybody except the handsome actor whom she devours with eager and greedy attention. She leans from this box to see bim, and when be seems for tbe moment to forget her presence, she utters a little appealing cough. Altogether it is too much, far too mnch, for the gravity of a respecta ble New York audience, and people have begun to throng the theater to see a play not put down on the bill. It *.s said that the handsome actor receives numerous billets doux from his .charming persecutor, with bouquets and otber presents, all of which, like a model husband and virtuous actor, he, of course, hands over to his wire. But one would like to have the German husband's vArsion of the affair translated into idiomatic Eng lish.

LAWYERS' EXTORTIONATE FEES. [New Yoik Mail What a time some of the newspapers are making about lawyers! After al lowing the lawyers to make tbe laws for a whole century aftar looking upon lawyers as a kind of demigods, far too wise and good for ordinary comprebension after running to lawyers with thousands ot foolish complaints that three mains of common sense might havo settled in three minutes after paying lawyers thousands where otber professional men asking tens would have been kicked out of doors after enacting statutes drawn always by lawyers that make it impossible tor any except lawyers to 1111 tbe more important offices after submitting to taxes and fees until a man instinctively puts his hand in his pocket when he meets a lawyer on the street after aocepting tbe doctrino that no business man is a man unless be has retained his private lawyers after selfabnegation so complete tbat one dare not make a bargain or draft a will without consulting a lawyer, the trodden worm of a layman has risen in bis wrath and begins to use hard words about lawyers! He even has tbe astounding presumption to ask wby a lawyer abould nave a thousand dollars for a day's work, when a doctor With seven ounces more brains, twice as much common sense, and one, too, who can beat tbe lawyer out of right in dog Latin, is satisfied'witb ten dollars a day. It ia a conundrum too deep for ua, and so we give it up.

Passion coats too much to bestow upon every triflw. What can we wish tbat ia not found in God? Would we have large possessions? He ia immenaity. Would we have lone continuance He is eternity itself. Would we be perfectly and forever satisfied? We shall be wben we awake in his likeness.

An Honest JHedlelne. Of all medicines calculated to cure affections of tbe throat, cheat and lungs, we know of none we can begin to recommend so bighh as DR. KINO'S NEW DISCOVERY for Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Broncbiua, Hoarseness, Tickling in the Throat, loss of voice. Ac. It does positively cure, and tbat where everything elae has failed. No medicine

can show one half so many positive and permanent cures as hare already been wrougnt by this wonderfcl remedy. For tbe Asthma and Bronchitis it Is a specific, earing the worst cases in tbe shortest time possible. We would say by all means give It a trial. Three doees will relieve the worst case.
