A DELICATE QUESTION.

A constant reader writes us asking our advice in a delicate matter. Ho says that while a married lady of his acquaintenauce ■was making a short friendly call upon him, her husband, who was always an absurdly jealous individual, suddenly began hammering on the door, and demanded admit. tance. In what our correspondent terms •* the confusion of the moment," the lady hid«herself between the mattresses of the bed in the next room, and the irate better half was admitted. After the later had apologised, smoked a friendly cigar or two and departed, oar subscriber proceeded to release the lady from her uncomfortable quarters. To his astonishment he found her quite defunct —smothered to death. This occurred last Wednesday, since when the writer has been puzzling his brains to know how to dispose of the corpse. He states that it is now hanging up in his room behind an ulster. Of course it can't Stay there always ; besides he had hardly room for his clothes before. He says he has never been so much annoyed and put out about by a little thing in his life, and begs our advice at earliest convenience. "We are glad to be able to give it promptly. Whenever the same thing has occurred to us, we invariably wrapped the body up in our daily newspapers, and sent it out to the Medical Institute in a push-cart. They give Bdols. for a fair article of cadaver out there.—San Francisco News Letter.
