Chatham Record. We would call the attention of admin istrators and executors to a very im portant matter connected with their duties.-"' ISy" reference to the law, as contained in sections 45 and 46 of chapter 45 of Battle's Itevisal, it will be seen that it is the duty of all admin istrators arid executors to give notice to all persons holding claims against their estates to exhibit them before a certain day, and such notice must be posted at the court house and at four other public places in the county, or be published in the county newssjvtper. The reason this notice is required is to en- j abbs administrators or executors to settle nnthfi eslnte and the claims nf I ,, ... A . . i .i all creditors not presented within the fimft nrpscri hi'l in t Im nnticft :vc. , . ... . . barred. If an administrator or execu- . , . . . tor pays out any money without giving . . . . , . this notice lie renders himself person- ally liable to the other creditors, and even if he gives notice he still must proce it, and if these notices are post ed up at four places (instead of beirg ml published in the county paper) the law says he must prove it by "a i witness stating the times and places i wj,en an,i where he saw such notice posted.' Now, we ask how many ad- ' J ministrators arc able to furnish such proof of their compliance with the law? Cynihia A. Hasdra, colored, has just died in New York, leaving an estate valued at S80,000.

When I married my second wife. she was dreadful set about going off ; for a bridal tour. 1 told her she'd better wait six months or a year, and I'd try to go with her, but she said she'd rather go alone when a wo man was travelling, a man was an j out-and-out humbug. So I gave her seventy five cents, and told her to go off and have a I good time. 1 never begrudge money where my wife's happiness is con cerned. My first wife never could complain of not going anywhere, for I'm dreadful fierce to go off on a good time myself, and always was. I don't pretend to say bow many times I took bcr out to see the engine squirt, and there was no end to the free lectures I let her go to. The neighbors used to say : "It does beat all bow the Skinners do go !" When Signor Blitz was in Skunk ville, with his wonderful canaries, he gave my wife a complimentary ticket. I not only sold that ticket for my wife, but I gave her half the money. I don't boast of it. though ; I only mention it to show how much I thought of my wife's happiness. I don't think any man ought to get married until he can consider his wife's happiness only second to his own. John Wise, a neighbor of mine, did thusly, and when I got married I concluded to do like Wise. But the plan didn't work in the case of my second wife. No, I should say not. I broached the subject kind ly: "Matilda." I said, "I snppnseyon are aware that I am now your lord and master." "Not much von ain't." "M. s. Skinner," I replied, "yon are fearfully demoralized ; yon need re organizing at once. You are cranky." And I brandished my new sixty-two-cent umbrella wildly around hf-r. She took the umbrella away from me and locked me up in the clothes press. I am quick to draw an inference, and the inference I drew was that I was not a success as a reorganizer of female women. After this I changed mv tactics. I I let her have her own way, and the plan worked to a charm from the i very first. It's the best way of man- J . I aL'iriL' a wife that I know of. Of course this is between you and me. J So when my wife said sue was ' J . bound to go off on a bridal tour, I j . ,, 1 ' . " "Go.

As I said before, my wife is a very smart woman, but she could not be anything else and be a Baxter. She used to give lectures on Women's Rights, and in one place where sho lectured a bio- college conferred the title of L. L. D. on her. But sho wouldn't take it. "No, gentlemen," she said, "give it to the poor." She was always just so charitable. She gave my boys permission to go barefoot all winter, and insisted upon it so much in her kind way that they couldn't refuse. She fairly doles on my children, and I've seen her many a time go to their trowsers pockets and take out their pennies, after the"d got to sleep, and put them in the bureau drawer for fear they might lose them. I started to tell you about my wife's bridal tour, but the fact is I never could find ont much about it myself. 1 believe she had a good lime. She came back improved in health, and I found out before she had been in the house twenty-four hours, that she'd gained in strength also. I don't say bow I found it out I simply say 1 found it oat. In conclusion, I would say to all yonng men : Marry your second wife first, and keep out of debt by all means, even if you have to borrow the money to do it. relic; ious xinvs. There are 34,000 lay preachers in the Methodist Church of England. They do ten times as much preaching as the ordained clergy. The N. Y. Methoilist believes that i the Salvation Army (the English band now at work in this city) is making relig'on ridiculous, and protests against the "prominence given to ignorance." Dr. J. B. Hawthorne has been elected President of the Board of Trus tees of the Richmond Female Insti tute, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Rev. Dr. J. B. Jeter, D.D. The Salvation Army have found in Philadelphia a heartier welcome than they received in this city. The ranks have there been recrui'ed to the num ber of fifty, who are about evenly di vided as to sex. They wear a uniform, march throngh the streets with ban ners flying.and sing.
