One Sunday Tablet for Husbands and Another for Wives. Here, from Good, Houiekeeping, is 11 Sunday string of new ••coro- 111 and incuts" for husbands: FIKST. '•I am the source of 111.1113' an un-happy marriage," says the mighty dollar, therefore, shalt thou make mutally satisfactory arrangements with thy wife concerning her pecu-niary allowance, immediately upon entering the matrimonial ranks. SKCOSH. Thou shalt not make thy wife's duties burdensome by comparing her cooking and household man-agement to thy mother's, for every true wife doeth the best thai she possibly can. TIIIKU. Thou shalt not take thy wife to account for shortcomings, but over-look slight failings and bear pa-tiently with faults, usthou wouldst that the Lord thy God did unto thine own weakness. KOlltTII. Remember that thy wife is as-sisting thee very materially (finan-cially) by being maid of all work, housekeeper, seamstress, nurse and cook. Six day8 shalt thou over-look unavoidable delays and mis-takes (which annoy thy good wife as much as they do thee), and every seventh day thou shalt allow her to rest from arduous household duties and enjoy thy cheerful companion-ship. HKTll. Honor thy wife with thy implicit confidence in nil things, that she may counsel and advise thee, and lend her assistance over hard places in time of trouble. SIXTH. Thou shalt not kill thy wife's respect for thee by doing those things which would grieve thee if done by her. SEVENTH. Thou shalt not commit the great error of being ashamed to apolo-gize to thy wife, and thou shalt al-ways do unto her as thou wouldst that she should do unto thee. EIGHTH. Thou shalt nut steal happy mo-ments from thy wife by parting from her in anger, but -forgive and forgot," and avoid the quarrels which are the greatest destroyers of matrimonial bliss. NINTH. Thou shalt not bear ill will against thy wife without just cause, but shalt at all times permit her to defend herself. TENTH. Thou shalt not cover the pleas-ures of the club, nor any other en-tertainment where thy wife must be excluded, but find comfort and enjoyment in the bosom of thine own family, whom it is thy duty to love, cherish and make happy. For the Wife. j shalt strive to make the happiest 1 in his existence. FIFTH. Honor they husband and spend not thy days upon earth in brood ing over his faults, but count up his good qualities, and see what a blessing he will become to thee,and what a contented wife thou shall be. SIXTH. Thou shalt not kill his affections by being unsympatbizing in hi* troubles, or expecting 190 much lovemuking. SEVENTH. Thou shalt not commit the error of restricting thy husband in his own home. Let him do as he plenti-es, and do thou tin- utmost to make home the THE DRUMMER FROM BOSTON Names of the Months, Etc, KBW8 ALT, OVER THE COUNTRY.! Has an Armral of Sorrow to Hag for His Smartness. Among the passengers on a Phil- | adelphia train coming north the other day were several New York drummers. One of the latter was .1 coltish young man, who prided himself on being a student of hu-man nature. Where a number of drummer* are gathered together there jou will hear boasting and bragging, and each und every one will put forward his particular Specialty as flie best joke or trick of I ho season. The young man's specialty was by and by duly ex-i iailicd. Said lie : "Gentlemen, I have a little scheme which I have named the most charming spot on j >J0hn Henry' scheme. It is worked earth, where he will forget business entirely on the farmer, and it fur-cares and worldly troubles, and nishes one with a wonderful insight comfort, peace I into the characteristics of the horney-handed sons of toil.

BIGHTS, Thou shalt not steal from thy husband his respect for thee by be-coming less attentive to dress and manners than during courtship. NINTH. Thou shall not bear tales to others concerning thy husband's actions and family affairs, nor un-veil his shortcomings to a third person. TENTH. Thou shal not covet luxuries, which may bring thy husband to financial dillicultieg, or perhaps ruin: nor social pleasures, which farmer is naturally the most sus-picious person in existence, albeit he is oftenest made the victim of sharpers ?" Two or three of the crowd doubt-doubted the truth of the assersion, which was just what the coltish young man desired, and continued : "I propose to prove what I have said. I have made a study of the farmer, and I know him from head to heel. You all see this watchf It is a bang-up timepiece and cost $150.

THE IRISH LEADER DEAD. ■•1 think he'tl snap it up," observ-ed one of the beys. •*That show s you are not posted. There is probably at least one farmer in the •li ahead. I'll Charles Stewart Parnell Died Late Tuesday Night. LONDON, Oct. 7.—Charles Stew-art Parnell, the Irish leader, died at his home in Blighton Tuesday night. THE NEWS IN I.ONDOK. LONDON, Oct. 7.—Great Britain and Ireland were startled this morning'by the utterly unlooked-for announcement that Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted Irish leader, died suddenly at 11:30 last night, at his borne in Brighton. No have just bet you an even $10 that I will oiler him this watch for an X and he will ta'e me for a fakir and re-fuse to invest." After some hesitation the stnkes were put up, and, followed by two of the party, the young man enter-ed a day coach. Almost the first passenger in sight was a middle-lUgcd farmer. He had on an old straw hat. was without a collar, and one of his cowhide boots rested on the other seat as he interested himself in a newspaper. "My friend," began the young mar. as he smiled a bland and sc-one in London appears to have, ,■„,.,-Ve smile, -I have met with known that the Irish leader was .

At that lime Mr. i Parnell was suffering great pain and was growing perceptibly weak- > cr. Several hours before his death he became unconscious and so re-mained until the end. Mrs. Parnell and the physicians were the only ones at the bedside when the dying man passed away. Mrs. Parnell believed up to the mo-ment when death came to thorough-ly disabuse her, that her husband would recover. Mrs. Parnell, who has been completely devoted to her husband, refusing to leave his bed-side for even an hour's rest, is ut-terly prostrated by the shock and her physicians are somewhat ap-prehensive as to her condition. _ MICHAEL DAVITT's OPINION. Michael Davitt thinks that Sex-ton or Dillon will lie chosen leader of the Irish movement. Sexton would probably be the man. But no leader will ever be given the I'llllllKiE MOP! 1 MAVK OPENED A CARRIAGE SHOP For building and repairing All Kinds of Vehicles.

REV0LVS3S A?.S WINNERS. this morning Mr. Justin McCarthy expressed himself as deeply affec-ted by the death of Mr, Parnell Mr. McCarthy hoped that those who had followed the dead leader would return to the party and so end dissension. The speaker's tone and manner were expressive und indicative of sincere sorrow. All Broken Up. From an idol of the sun comes Sunday; or, in other worda, upon the day we now hold sacred a« tlie the Sabbath, the ancients worship-ped the sun. On the second day of the week the old Saxons worshipped the moon, calling it "Moonday." We drop one "o and call it Monday. Tbisrn, from which tite word Tutsday is derived, was one of the most ancient and popular gods of ancient Germany: the third day of the week was dedicated to his worship. Woden from whom we have the name Wednesday, was u Prince of high standing among the Saxons. His image was prayed to for victo-ry. On the third day after each succeeding sun worship the old Saxons spent hours invoking the blessings of Woden. Thor was god of the chase and was represented as being seated on a couch of skins with 12 stars over his head and u sceptre in his hand. Thursday or " Thor's day " was the day Thor was worshipped. Frigga, from whom Friday is de-rived, was either a god or a god-dess, according to time and coun-try. As a man he was u great huntor and warior, always repre-sented with a drawn sword in one hand and u bow in the other. In the Scandinavian countries Frigga was called the "Venus of the North," and the sixth day of the week was consecrated to her wor-ship. Saturday is usually said to have taken its name from Saturn, und to literally mean " Saturn's Day." Saturn, in mythology, is one of the oldest and principal deities. The seventh day of the week was re-served for his worship. As a Saxon devinity Sater occupies a similar position. He was represented as a thin-vis.igcd, long-haired indivi-dual whose looks bespoke one thor-oughly wretched. In looking up the peculiar names given to sash of the 12 months of the year, il becomes necessary for us to go buck to the time of the old Romans, who have imposed upon us a set ot names for the months equally us absurd as those the Norsemen, the Scandinavians ami Saxons applied to the days of the week. January is from Julius, the god of doors and gates; his month opened the year: some say that he was two-faced and could look back on the past year und forward to the coming. February is from febrmo, to purify. Marcli was originally the first month of the year, and named for Mars, the god of war. April is from tiperire, to open, and is so called because it is the month of opening buds. May is usually said to have been so called in honor of Main, the mother of Mercury, but this ap pears to bt- erroneous. Modern lexicographers concur in the opin-ion that the root of the word is a t traction of the Latin word 1,1'nihif, and that it simply means to grow, or the month of fffoitlh. Juui is from Juno, the patron of marriage, ami is, therefore, the favorite month for weddings. July was named for Juliils(iesar and August for Augustus Ca-sar. Originally, so the story goes, Au gust had but 30 days and February 29 in the common year and HO in leap years. Augustus was jealous that Julius' month had more days than his own. Therefore he took one day from February and added it to August. September, October, November and December are «ocalled because they were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months of the yeai. The names are inappro-priate and rank misnomers as now-applied.— KepHolie, THE BLUE RIDGE SMOKES. Pillars of Smoke Rising From the Mountains in Buncombe. Wateh Knob, in Buncombe coun-ty, not far from Cooper's, is still sending forth its columns of smoke. Not only Watch Knob, but more than half a dozen other small peaks in that vicinity vie with each other |in the amount of smoke anil the regularity of the phenomenon. Tire people of that vicinity are taking interest in these smoking peaks. Ualtimore Democrats yesterday nominated F. C. Latrobe for a sixth term as Mayor. The food allowed to sailors in the American navy is better than that furnished in any other navy in the world. Cigar manufacturers have form-ed a *2„,000.000 Trust and will crush union, workmen whenever possible. Fire ut Washington, Ind., de-stroyed the court-house, together with all the records.

Most men are willing to make any sacrifice for their wives except to get up and lind an extra bed covering when it turns cold in the night. Professor H. W. S. Cleveland, of Minneapolis, has an autogragh let-ter of Benjamin Franklin inform-ing the postmaster in Boston that he should not exempt Governors from paying postage. .Air. Paul Kilt/., of New York, has begun suit for divorce against his wife, to whom he was married in December lust, she having refused to live with him on discovering that he had a glass eye. In Chili a lady's board costs from lf.10 to * 1.000; dress silk from $11 to $20 the yard, and the modiste will charge you from $30 to $50 for making it. As much us .f 12 a dozen has to be paid for linen handkerchiefs and .f IS for a pair of boots. The oil excitement at McDonald. Pa., has poured wealth into the laps of Beveral poor people. The luckiest so far heard from is Mrs. Bertie McCiilIum, who from a small piece of land she once tried to sell for $260 has already received $25,- 000 in rentals. It is now claimed that a majority of the committee of twenty-live old friends of Jefferson Davis appoint-ed to pass upon the Jackson stutue of the Confederate President favor i accepting it as a good likeness. Mr. Otto Kramer is suing a Phil-adelphia street car company for $2,000 damages because he sat down on a tack which had become detached from the upholstery of the car. What made it exception-ally distressing was the fact that his best girl witnessed the painful j dilema in which he was placed and' jilted him in ronaeqeaceof the bud words he II.I ! to express his disap-probation of the tack. Mrs. Jefferson Davis soon after she was married sought to lighten her husband's labors by acting as his amanuensis, but her girlish writing did not please him, and Jseeing this she resolved to imitate i his own hand. To do this she got i tracing paper and put it over some of Mr. Davis's manuscript und copied and recopied them, until by-constant and laborious practice the was able to reproduce them in fac simile. This accomplishment de-lighted him very much, and there after slic was able.not only to serve him very acceptably as amanuensis but to undertake without any aid j from him to answer many letters that came to him. Very often com-munications that were handed her ' to answer were written, signature and all, wholly by her, and in such excellent imitation of Mr. Davis's manuscript that he was hardly able to tell whether he wrote them or 1 not.

BY I. K. M.
Oh, loving Saviour, pity those who fall;
Not one of us is robed ill spotless white.
We stumble, faint, and falter in the
light:
\\ c bear the stains of conflict, ono and
all.
Yet some, lured on by passion*, subtle
power,
I'nguarded, blinded, in the tempter's
hour
l.eap from their innocence's sunny
beight
Into the abyss of sin's dark, awful
night,
Lie erushed and bleeding on tlie rooks
beneath,
In darkness sadder than tha gloom of
death.
Like graceful llow'rs once laughing in
the breeze
Heat down toearth by fury of the blast.
What pity bath the world, dear Lord,
tor these?
Oh, loving Saviour, stay, in merry stay
The scornful mocking* and the taunts
which slay.
Help us, dear Christ, no cruel stones
to cast
To take the life so wounded. Let 119
pour
Upon the one so broken, sick, and sore,
Our love's warm sunshine, giving
strength to rise
Kroin out the dust and ruin where it
lies.
And lead the fallen llfcback to thy feet.
Then, (Ireat Physician, let thy words
so sweet
And calm and tender, health and life
restore—
"Neither do I condemn thee, sin no
more."
TEN COMMANDMENTS.
One Sunday Tablet for Husbands and
Another for Wives.
Here, from Good, Houiekeeping,
is 11 Sunday string of new ••coro-
111 and incuts" for husbands:
FIKST.
'•I am the source of 111.1113' an un-happy
marriage" says the mighty
dollar, therefore, shalt thou make
mutally satisfactory arrangements
with thy wife concerning her pecu-niary
allowance, immediately upon
entering the matrimonial ranks.
SKCOSH.
Thou shalt not make thy wife's
duties burdensome by comparing
her cooking and household man-agement
to thy mother's, for every
true wife doeth the best thai she
possibly can.
TIIIKU.
Thou shalt not take thy wife to
account for shortcomings, but over-look
slight failings and bear pa-tiently
with faults, usthou wouldst
that the Lord thy God did unto
thine own weakness.
KOlltTII.
Remember that thy wife is as-sisting
thee very materially (finan-cially)
by being maid of all work,
housekeeper, seamstress, nurse and
cook. Six day8 shalt thou over-look
unavoidable delays and mis-takes
(which annoy thy good wife
as much as they do thee), and every
seventh day thou shalt allow her to
rest from arduous household duties
and enjoy thy cheerful companion-ship.
HKTll.
Honor thy wife with thy implicit
confidence in nil things, that she
may counsel and advise thee, and
lend her assistance over hard places
in time of trouble.
SIXTH.
Thou shalt not kill thy wife's
respect for thee by doing those
things which would grieve thee if
done by her.
SEVENTH.
Thou shalt not commit the great
error of being ashamed to apolo-gize
to thy wife, and thou shalt al-ways
do unto her as thou wouldst
that she should do unto thee.
EIGHTH.
Thou shalt nut steal happy mo-ments
from thy wife by parting
from her in anger, but -forgive and
forgot" and avoid the quarrels
which are the greatest destroyers
of matrimonial bliss.
NINTH.
Thou shalt not bear ill will
against thy wife without just cause,
but shalt at all times permit her
to defend herself.
TENTH.
Thou shalt not cover the pleas-ures
of the club, nor any other en-tertainment
where thy wife must
be excluded, but find comfort and
enjoyment in the bosom of thine
own family, whom it is thy duty to
love, cherish and make happy.
For the Wife.
j shalt strive to make the happiest
1 in his existence.
FIFTH.
Honor they husband and spend
not thy days upon earth in brood
ing over his faults, but count up
his good qualities, and see what a
blessing he will become to thee,and
what a contented wife thou shall
be.
SIXTH.
Thou shalt not kill his affections
by being unsympatbizing in hi*
troubles, or expecting 190 much
lovemuking.
SEVENTH.
Thou shalt not commit the error
of restricting thy husband in his
own home. Let him do as he plenti-es,
and do thou tin- utmost to make
home the
THE DRUMMER FROM BOSTON Names of the Months, Etc, KBW8 ALT, OVER THE COUNTRY.!
Has an Armral of Sorrow to Hag
for His Smartness.
Among the passengers on a Phil- |
adelphia train coming north the
other day were several New York
drummers. One of the latter was
.1 coltish young man, who prided
himself on being a student of hu-man
nature. Where a number of
drummer* are gathered together
there jou will hear boasting and
bragging, and each und every one
will put forward his particular
Specialty as flie best joke or trick
of I ho season. The young man's
specialty was by and by duly ex-i
iailicd. Said lie :
"Gentlemen, I have a little
scheme which I have named the
most charming spot on j >J0hn Henry' scheme. It is worked

and worldly troubles, and nishes one with a wonderful insight

horney-handed sons of toil. Per-haps
you didn't know that the
where he will find
and genuine happiness.
BIGHTS,
Thou shalt not steal from thy
husband his respect for thee by be-coming
less attentive to dress and
manners than during courtship.
NINTH.
Thou shall not bear tales to
others concerning thy husband's
actions and family affairs, nor un-veil
his shortcomings to a third
person.
TENTH.
Thou shal not covet luxuries,
which may bring thy husband to
financial dillicultieg, or perhaps
ruin: nor social pleasures, which
farmer is naturally the most sus-picious
person in existence, albeit
he is oftenest made the victim of
sharpers ?"
Two or three of the crowd doubt-doubted
the truth of the assersion,
which was just what the coltish
young man desired, and continued :
"I propose to prove what I have
said. I have made a study of the
farmer, and I know him from head
to heel. You all see this watchf

should be her chief duties und
pleasures.

Charles Stewart Parnell Died Late
Tuesday Night.
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Charles Stew-art
Parnell, the Irish leader, died
at his home in Blighton Tuesday
night.
THE NEWS IN I.ONDOK.
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Great Britain
and Ireland were startled this
morning'by the utterly unlooked-for
announcement that Charles
Stewart Parnell, the noted Irish
leader, died suddenly at 11:30 last
night, at his borne in Brighton. No

he will ta'e me for a fakir and re-fuse

After some hesitation the stnkes
were put up, and, followed by two
of the party, the young man enter-ed
a day coach. Almost the first
passenger in sight was a middle-lUgcd
farmer. He had on an old
straw hat. was without a collar,
and one of his cowhide boots rested
on the other seat as he interested
himself in a newspaper.

the physicians again came together] The farmer hesitated for a while
in consultation, and it was then
agreed that the distinguished pali-,
ent had been attacked by acute
rheumatism. At that lime Mr. i
Parnell was suffering great pain
and was growing perceptibly weak- >
cr. Several hours before his death
he became unconscious and so re-mained
until the end.
Mrs. Parnell and the physicians
were the only ones at the bedside
when the dying man passed away.
Mrs. Parnell believed up to the mo-ment
when death came to thorough-ly
disabuse her, that her husband
would recover. Mrs. Parnell, who
has been completely devoted to her
husband, refusing to leave his bed-side
for even an hour's rest, is ut-terly
prostrated by the shock and
her physicians are somewhat ap-prehensive
as to her condition. _

of the Irish movement. Sexton

All Broken Up.
From an idol of the sun comes
Sunday; or, in other worda, upon
the day we now hold sacred a« tlie
the Sabbath, the ancients worship-ped
the sun.
On the second day of the week
the old Saxons worshipped the
moon, calling it "Moonday." We
drop one "o and call it Monday.
Tbisrn, from which tite word
Tutsday is derived, was one of the
most ancient and popular gods of
ancient Germany: the third day
of the week was dedicated to his
worship.
Woden from whom we have the
name Wednesday, was u Prince of
high standing among the Saxons.
His image was prayed to for victo-ry.
On the third day after each
succeeding sun worship the old
Saxons spent hours invoking the
blessings of Woden.
Thor was god of the chase and
was represented as being seated on
a couch of skins with 12 stars over
his head and u sceptre in his hand.
Thursday or " Thor's day " was the
day Thor was worshipped.
Frigga, from whom Friday is de-rived,
was either a god or a god-dess,
according to time and coun-try.
As a man he was u great
huntor and warior, always repre-sented
with a drawn sword in one
hand and u bow in the other. In
the Scandinavian countries Frigga
was called the "Venus of the
North" and the sixth day of the
week was consecrated to her wor-ship.
Saturday is usually said to have
taken its name from Saturn, und to
literally mean " Saturn's Day."
Saturn, in mythology, is one of the
oldest and principal deities. The
seventh day of the week was re-served
for his worship. As a Saxon
devinity Sater occupies a similar
position. He was represented as a
thin-vis.igcd, long-haired indivi-dual
whose looks bespoke one thor-oughly
wretched.
In looking up the peculiar names
given to sash of the 12 months of
the year, il becomes necessary for
us to go buck to the time of the
old Romans, who have imposed
upon us a set ot names for the
months equally us absurd as those
the Norsemen, the Scandinavians
ami Saxons applied to the days of
the week.
January is from Julius, the god
of doors and gates; his month
opened the year: some say that he
was two-faced and could look back
on the past year und forward to
the coming.
February is from febrmo, to
purify.
Marcli was originally the first
month of the year, and named for
Mars, the god of war.
April is from tiperire, to open,
and is so called because it is the
month of opening buds.
May is usually said to have been
so called in honor of Main, the
mother of Mercury, but this ap
pears to bt- erroneous. Modern
lexicographers concur in the opin-ion
that the root of the word is a
t traction of the Latin word
1,1'nihif, and that it simply means
to grow, or the month of fffoitlh.
Juui is from Juno, the patron of
marriage, ami is, therefore, the
favorite month for weddings.
July was named for Juliils(iesar
and August for Augustus Ca-sar.
Originally, so the story goes, Au
gust had but 30 days and February
29 in the common year and HO in
leap years. Augustus was jealous
that Julius' month had more days
than his own. Therefore he took
one day from February and added
it to August.
September, October, November
and December are «ocalled because
they were originally the seventh,
eighth, ninth and tenth months of
the yeai. The names are inappro-priate
and rank misnomers as now-applied.—

It is now claimed that a majority

friends of Jefferson Davis appoint-ed

Mr. Otto Kramer is suing a Phil-adelphia
street car company for
$2,000 damages because he sat
down on a tack which had become
detached from the upholstery of
the car. What made it exception-ally
distressing was the fact that
his best girl witnessed the painful j
dilema in which he was placed and'
jilted him in ronaeqeaceof the bud
words he II.I ! to express his disap-probation
of the tack.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis soon after
she was married sought to lighten
her husband's labors by acting as
his amanuensis, but her girlish
writing did not please him, and
Jseeing this she resolved to imitate
i his own hand. To do this she got
i tracing paper and put it over some
of Mr. Davis's manuscript und
copied and recopied them, until by-constant
and laborious practice the
was able to reproduce them in fac
simile. This accomplishment de-lighted
him very much, and there
after slic was able.not only to serve
him very acceptably as amanuensis
but to undertake without any aid
j from him to answer many letters
that came to him. Very often com-munications
that were handed her
' to answer were written, signature
and all, wholly by her, and in such
excellent imitation of Mr. Davis's
manuscript that he was hardly able
to tell whether he wrote them or
1 not.
