FEW Y03K NOTES.
New York, July TO.—Chas. W. Buttz,
Solicitor of the First Judicial Circuit of
South Carolina, has a letter in the Times
showing that Congressman Cain has been
indicted for libel for statements he re
cently jrablished about Buttz,
Solicitor Wilson continued his investi
gation of the correspondence and records
of the United States Secret Service
Division in this city yesterday. As
before, the matter was conducted pri
vately. Mr. Wilson finds it necessary to
go to Boston to-day to continue his inves-
-tigatiou on an important point in that
city. He will return again on Sunday,
and will probably reach the end of his
labors heraby the middle of next week.
m’mahon and the bzpubdic.
Pakis, July 10.—The following is the
conclusion of MacMahon’s message: “All
my duties and my most imperative duty
is to insure to the country defined insti
tutions, security and cahn. I have in-
structed the minister to inform the Con
stitutional Committee concerning the
points' upon which I ‘believe it essential
to insist.”
The Republican papers conclude from
Marshal MacMahon’s message to the As
sembly yesterday, that he recognizes the
Republic.

London, July 10.—A Paris dispatch to
the Times says that Duval’s demand for
urgency on his motion for the dissolution
of tire Assembly, after voting upon the
bills named, received eighteen votes. It
seems certain that, if Ferier’s bill be re
jected, which is probable, the Centres
will submit either a fresh proposal for
dissolution or for prorogation, but most
probably the former, which will then
obtain a large majority.

A Bride and Her Double.
The woful predicament in which a
Chinese would-be bridegroom found him
self is described by a Yokohama (Japan)
correspondent of the Cleveland Herald.
He writes: ‘‘A very curious story comes
to us from China. A bride was on her
way in a sedan-chair from the house of
hor parents to her husband’s abode. Pass
ing through a grave-yard, the bearers of
the chair noticed that their burden grew
heavier. This, however, they ascribed
to fatigue. On reaching the bridegroom’s
house, though; what was the dismay of
the honest folk to find, on opening the
chair, two brides instead of one. Two
spick, span new brides, alike even to a
hairpin!
Confusion reigned, and polygamy-was
imminent. Better counsel prevailed,
however, and the about-to-be mother-in-
law appeared and instituted a searching
investigation. But even maternal eyes
and instinct failed, and the old lady was
obliged to give it up in despair, being
heard to declare, sottovoce, that she “never
knew that girl was twins before.’ Just
at this moment a bright thought occurred
to the father. He remembered that his
girl was what the Chinese call a “rip-
snortef’ at weaving, and he forthwith
suggested- that the two girls be set to
spinning, and the one who came out last
be declared to be ‘t’other.’ No sooner
said than done. The girls were put in
separate rooms, and the materials for
spinning placed at-hand. The doors were
looked, and .watch and ward kept over
them by the anxious parents and all the
old ladies of the neighborhood.
When the day was done the doors were
opened and the work examined. Wonder
of wonders! Both girls had done the
same . amount; neither had a thread
more nor less than the other. The poor
father pulled his pig-tail, and tramped
about in a very indiscriminate way, while
the mother sat down disconsolately in a
corner and addressed the assembled com
pany as “hussy,’ At last accounts the
matter was still in a very mixed condi
tion. Nobody is able to tell which is
which, and the would-be bridegroom,
unwilling to cast himself away oh a dupli
cate, has gone to California to ease his
aching heart in the ‘washing pigeon’at
San Francisco. The ‘Master of Heaven
has teen summoned to drive away the
devil that haunts the bride. In view of
this true and voracious history who will
say that life is not a dream, and who is
willing to cast a first stone at our Puritan
ancestors of Salem witchcraft memory?
A Circus Riot.—St. John, Neb. , July 7.
A serious riot occurred in Fredericton last
night on the occasion of the performance
of a circus company. A large number of
lumbermen were present, and some dis
pute arising at the ticket office on the
subject of change, a row took place,
which ended in the circus people drawing
revolvers and firing among the crowd.
This, instead of intimidating, only served
to incense those present; and as soon as
the wounded were carried away, others
took their places until the circus people
were overpowered, and some of their
wagons were run into the river. At this
time the riot assumed an alarming aspect.
The fire bells were rung, quid the Mayor,
with a body of special constables, hastily
sworn in, after some trouble succeeded in
clearing the ground. Thirteen of the
circus men were arrested.
It being rumored this morning that the
circus was about to leave for St. Stephen,
a large body of lumbermen assembled
at the station, threatened to tear up the
roils. A n injunction from thc Supreme
Court, however, being served in time, the
circus company was detained till a full
investigation can be made. Much excite
ment prevails over the affair.'
THE BROOKLYN SORROW.
Another View or the Beecher and Tilton
Affair—The Testimony of a Friend.
-omporar
jewel of consistency.—[NashviUe Union.]
Our Nashville contemporary is n je -
a mckasff—[Lou, Oour.iJour,
Professor Van Buren Denslow writes
as follows in the Chicago Christian Ad
vocate:
These three persons, whose names are
now associated in the crowning scandal of
this age, by a coincidence more logical
than many will admit, are all or have
been Presidents of the National Woman’s
Rights Association. They have all enter,
tained or advocated certain advanced no
tions of woman’s freedom, very like those
advocated nearly a century ago by Mary
Wolstonecraft and Charles Fourier, and
more recently by John Stuart Mill How
remarkable the outdroppings of unolean-
liness in the record of these reformers.
Mary Wolstonecraft teaches her sex to
abhor marriage as a form of slavery; and
not until her third illegitimate child
brings upon the domicile of herself and
paramour the indignation of a British
mob does she consent to convert her lover
into a husband—not for the sake of de
cency, but that she might obtain for him
the protection of the law.
Fourier in one sentence deifies hist in
a manner that would have pleased.the
crude devotees of Isis and Osiris, and in
the next teaches that the secret of the
future progress lies in so enlarging the
freedom of mm and woman that the fact
of chastity shall disappear and the thought
of it become ridiculous. A. disciple of
Fourier, Robert Dale Owen, procures, as
a member of the Indiana Legislature, the
passage qf the “easiest” divorce law yet
enacted, except in Wisconsin. Tilton ad
vocates the Wisconsin law whereby the
bond of marriage may be severed by the
mere consent of the parties who make it.
Mrs. Woodhull scorns marriage and pro
cures a divorce from the husband she pro
fesses to love, in order that she may live
with two divorced husbands under the
same roof in that freer relation which
Fourier advocates, called the hannonial
or complex marriage. Beecher marries
the wife of McFarland to the dying body
of her legal seducer, the man who ven
tured to address her os “my darling.wife”
while she was still living with her lawful
husband, as if the mummery of the mar
riage ceremony could cleanse their guilt.
John Stuart Mill, the foremost apostle of
woman’s freedom, takes to himself the
wife of another, who had not even been
accused of ubkindness toward her, for
no other reason than that she in her
“woman’s freedom” preferred a meta
physical seducer to a Christian husband.
Doubtless there are thousands of well
meaning ladies in the woman’s rights
movement who conscientiously deny that
it has any affinity with licentiousness.
It may tend, perhaps, to correct this,
error, when they observe the three pub
licly elected exponents of the woman’s
rights movement cowering under the
burden of a common shame, the legiti
mate rosult of an erroneous conviction
as to the relation of the sexes to each
other.
Whoever has read Tilton’s pamphlet
life of Mrs. Woodhull, wherein he extols
that unblushing apostle' of prostitution
as a woman the “spotless whiteness of
whose character” was above encomium,
must have become satisfied that however
silly a man must be to write in praise of
the purity of one who advocates strum-
petry in the name of freedom, yet Tilton,
with all his brilliant powers, has shown
himself to be just so silly. He could
only have done so with any sincerity by
adopting a new definition of purity. This
new definition Mrs. WoodhuU’s lectures,
Tilton’s articles on divorce and Beecher’s
example in marrying Mrs. McFarland to
the dying Richardson, all furnish. It is
that that woman is chaste whose relations
never violate the course of her free in
clination, either by continuing with one
of whom she is tired or by failing to go to
one of whom she is newly enamored.
Accepting this as the new definition of
chastity, Mr. Tilton’s praise, Mr. Beech
er’s liberality and Mrs. WoodhuU’s “chas
tity” are alike accounted for.
But with these convictions what is
likely to be their practice ? In aU this
exposure, let not Mr. Tilton for one mo
ment suppose he is to be vindicated.
Avenged he may,;be. No more.
He wouldnever have placed it in the
power of-Mrs.” WoodhuU to so employ an
equivocal and darkly hinted scandal as
deeply to affect the reputation of his own
wife had not his own relations with his
revelator been as unguarded as his Ufe of
Mrs. WoodhuU and Mrs. WoodhuU’s tale
pf scandal combined, compel us to beUeve.
There this drama of perdition begins.
He lias so often taught that if Ciesar’s
wife must'be above suspicion, so also
must Cornelia’s husband that he need feel
no surprise if the world is slow to sympa
thize with him when the adventuress
whom he has pubUcly commended to the
world as of “stainless purity” charges the
wife whom he knows to be so, with dis
honor. Again, Mr. TUton as an advocate
of “freedom for woman” - in its most
odious sense, has been too sincere to feel
and too logical to express that just indig-,
nation which one, not professedly a free-
lover, would have felt upon being made
the victim of so blasting an infamy as
this would have been to one who believed
in the religious sanctity of marriage as a
divine ordinance. A conservative man of
honor would have probably shot Beecher;
certainly would have cowhided and ex
posed him. But Mr. TUton, as an apos
tle of “free love” and woman’s rights,was
logicaUy bound to regard the so-caUed
“crime” as an appeal to his wife’s sover
eign rights over her own person in the
exorcisq of his pastor’s sovereign right to
beUeve and practice what Tilton taught—
the purity of perfect freedom. • Hence
the secret written apology of Beecher and
the long and “chivalrous” silence of
TUton.
Apart from the weak and corrupt
views entertained by aU these parties
concerning the marriage relation, its
divine sanction and its perpetuity, now
has this scandal come about ?
Eight years ago Theodore TUton had
the finest position and reputation, for &
young man, in this country or age. He
is an orator of first class power, a poet of
real merit, an editor of various talent
He is handsome, socially proud and the
husband of a lovely petite, modest, ac
complished wife.. Mrs. Tilton is highly
and most honorably connected—her fa
ther, the Rev: Judge N. B. Morse, of the
Supreme Court, conservative on all moral
and religious questions, and who was, we
believe, a brother to the eminent Sidney
E. Morse and Professor S. F. B. Morse.
Their children are of a style of beauty at
once spiritual, striking and rare. Who
ever in thqse years had the pleasing for r
tune to accept the hospitality of this bril
liant man and of his beautiful wife must
have retained forever the delightful image
of that home. All that could conduce to
make ixome lovely was there. Reputation,
converse with noble minds such as fame
draws around the hearthstone of its for
tunate possessor, a charming companion
whose very soul knelt each moment in
pure worship of her admired husband,
children whose smiles were like the ra
diance of angels’ eyes when turned to
ward the throne of God and the rustle of
whose garments were graceful as* the si
lent movements of forest birds wben
bathing in the holy Sabbath dawn, what
more could Theodore Tilton have sought
or wished? ’
Yet, in his profound egotism, he sought
martyrdom. The martyrs only were truly
great; he would link his name* with some
cause to-day odious, to-morrow glorified,
and so after the cross wear the crown—
os did Garrison, Wilberforce, Howardand
the rest! He advocated miscegenation,
but nobody mobbed him. He boasted in
every speech of having been mobbed in
anti-slavery days. Few remembered that
mob. Now, if he could but render him
self odious by attacking the marriage re
lation, by striking a stalwart blow for
woman’s freedom, somebody, he sincerely
hoped, would persecute him, and he
would be immortal! This was his am
bition. And how his martydom has
come, aU he ever sought, and, directly by
the means he used, bnt of a character far
more logical than he oxpected, the inex- J the
one of thorns. During those years the
writer, on one occasion, by a chance
question turned the conversation upon
Beecher, who was then among the daily
visitors at Mr. Tilton’s house. “Is Mr.
Beecher’s inward life that which It seems
to those who hear him? I have been at
loss to conceive how one whose conscience
is so sensitive as Mr. Beecher’s seems
should boast himself to be the happiest
man living. Deep-moral sensitiveness
more often makes men sod.”
Mr. Tilton answered, greatly to .the
writer’s surprise: “Mr. Beecher has a
keen intellectual discrimination on moral
questions, but he is personally an epicure,
a voluptuary, though of the most refined
sort, who does nothing—not even his
preaching and praying—from a sense of
duly, but only for the pleasure it affords
him. It happens to make him happier
to preach than to race horses; but if it
made him happier to follow any other
form of amusement he would pursue it.
Doubtless at the moment when you heard
him declare himself the happiest man
living, he felt so, but scores of times has
he come to his house as to a den of refuge,
thrown himself down on that sofa and
groaned in misery. You would have
thought him the veriest wretch alive.”
“Indeed, what was the cause of his
trouble ?”
“It is chiefly domestic.
“Bnt I am surprised you speak of
Beecher as a voluptuary. I had thought
him too unselfish and laborious for that.”
“No, Beecher has no unselfishness. His
tastes are [esthetic and cultivated, and he
is a busy man because his capacities for
joyous activity are various. He enjoys
preaching, editing, art, society, amuse
ment. labor of certain kinds, and so on.
But he is a voluptuary; he does every
thing that he enjoys, and only because he
enjoys it. Greeley is self-sacrificing. If
I need an article for the Independent
Greeley will sacrifice his own ease to
write it; not because it is anything he
wants to say, but because I, his friend,
need his help. Beecher never writes on
that principle. He would promise the
article, and if he found nothing else more
agreeable to do he would write it; not
otherwse.”
“But Beecher is certainly industrious.
“No! He is lazy. Ho accomplishes a
vast amount of what from many would
require work. But he does it because in
his case it only requires the vigorous play
of his versatile powers. He prepares for
his sermons on Sunday morning and
afternoon. It is not work to muse for an
hour over what one shall say for the next
hour.”
“But is he not charitable and gener
ous ? ”
“All in the epicurean sense. He enjoys
doing good; and gives as giving yields
him oleasure.”
' Mr. Tilton was then the warm and en
thusiastic friend of the great preacher
whom he thus criticised. We believe he
had never formed the acquaintance of the
weird sister whose utterances are “in
spired by Demosthenes." He had com
mitted but the single error of adopting
the theory that the reciprocal relations
of men and women can be adjusted on
the basis of equality and right, whereas
nature intended them to rest on a basis
of mutual inequality, 'inter-dependence
and affection. In the very act of at
tempting to prove that boiling pitoh is a
very clean substance, snowy white and
pure, he fell into the cauldron. If his
catastrophe shall enable any to see in
time that there is no “spotless whiteness”
in those who would emancipate' man or
woman from that just subjection which
is implied in Christian marriage as dis-
tinguisked from Fourieristic infidelity,

Spiritualism In London.
The sensation for some time since in
London has been the “Katie King,” al
luded to as the spirit test that convinced
Mr. Wallace, the naturalist. How spirit
came to revisit the glimpses of a twilight
room is thus told:
“Among the persons in England pos
sessing mediumistic powers is a young
girl of fifteen years of age, Miss Florence
Cook. Mr. Crookes vouches emphatic
cally for her respectability and ingenu
ousness. Her powers have been submit
ted to the severest testa at Mr. Crookes’
own house and under conditions which
he has himself dictated, and he does not
seem to have a doubt that they are genu
ine. While in the trance state about
three years ago a luminous form began
to appear near her person. This has in-
the course of time developed into a full-
grown woman, and not merely, the form
of a woman, but a flesh and a blood one,
which appears suddenly, walks, talks,
permits itself to be touched and embraced,
and melts away into nothingness before
the eyes of the company. This “spirit”
says that her name is Annie Owen, that
she died a hundred years ago in Wales,
and that her nickname is “Katie King.”
She is described as very beautiful in face
and figure, wearing long hair of light
auburn, which hangs in ringlets down
her back and each side of her head, reach
ing nearly to her waist. On the occasion
of her later appearances she was dressed
in pure white, with low neck and short
sleeves. She wore a long white veil, but
this was drawn over her face but seldom.”
After the testimony of Mr. Wallace and
Mr. Crookes, the next witness must be
Mrs. Ross-Church, the novelist.
“On the evening of the 9th of May,
Katie King led me, at my own request,
into the room with her beyond the cur
tain, which was not so dark but that I
could distinguish surrounding objects,
and then made me kneel down by Miss
Cook’s prostrate form and feel her hands
and face and head of curls, whilst she
(the spirit) held my other hands in hers
and leaned against my shoulder, with one
arm around my neck. I have not the
slightest doubt that upon that occasion
there were present with me two living,
breathing intelligences, perfectly distinct
from each other, so far, at least, as their
bodies were concerned. If my senses
deceived me,if I was misled by imagination
or mesmeric influence into believing that
I touched and felt two bodies instead of
one; if ‘Katie King,’ who grasped nnd
embraced and spoke to me, is a projection
of thought only—a will-power, an in
stance of unknown force—then it will be
no longer possible to know ‘who’s who in
1874,’ and we should hesitate to turn up
the gas incautiously, lest half of our
friends should be bnt projections of
thought and melt away beneath-its glare.
“Whatever Katie King was on the even
ing of the 9th of May she was not Miss
Cook. To that fact I am ready to take
my most solemn oath. Katie was very
busy that evening. To each of her
friends assembled to say good-by she gave
a boquet ot flowers tied iip with ribbon,
a piece of her dress and veil, and a lock
of her hair, and a note, which she wrote
with pencil before us. Mine was as fol
lows: “From Annie Owen de Morgan
(alias Katie King) to her friend, Florence
Marryatt Ross-Church, with love. Pensez
a mot' May 21, 1874." I must not forget
to relate what appeared to me one of the
most convincing proofs of Katie’s more
than natural power, namely, that when
she 'had cut, before our eyes, twelve or
fifteen different pieces of cloth from the
front of her white tunic as souvenirs for
her friends, there was not a hole to be
seen in it, examine it which way you
would. It was the same with the veil,
and I have seen her do the same thing
several times.”
.Whatever the reader may think of
Spiritualism,. it must be admitted that
this Miss Cook has brought about a very
singular and curious state of things.

A letter from Yokohama, .Japan, to the
Cleveland Herald, written on the loth of
May last, nays: “Tho outbreak (it is not
worthy of the name of rebellion) in Sa-
gaken, in the south, has been quelled.
There was some bloodshed, a very few
skirmishes, and the insurgent Samouri
were dispersed. Twelve of the more
noted of their leaders paid the penalty of
their misdeeds with their heads, and the
curtain dropped on one of the scenes
so common in the Orient—a wholesale
execution- for political offenses The
most illustrions of the insurgents was
Yeto Shimpei. He had been Minister of
Justice, and was in reality the leader of the
outbreak. He was a soured and disappoint
ed man. A misunderstanding with the
Treasury caused him to resign, and he
was from the first a bitter opponent of
the Iwakura Ministry. He was among
those who signed the petition to the Dia-
jokman Grand .Council, praying, or rath
er insolently demanding, the creation of
a ParliamfcSl or legislative body. Tiring--
of peaceful measures, he went to the
soutli, -and became the head and front of
the discontented Samourai of his old
home, Saga. I met him once at a dinner
party, and was very pleasantly impressed.
He was a handsome man, of grave and
polite manner, and apparently very in
telligent, and of a firm and unyielding
disposition. Even in that little assem
blage, where every other Japanese guest
was an officer , of High rank under the
government, Yeto, without office and a
known opponent of the government, was
treated with marked respect and defer
ence. He met death as he had. lived—
boldly and without fear. When, with
bared throat and bandaged eyes, be
turned his face for. the last time
toward the east, he was asked if he had
anything to say. In a firm, unquivering
voice, he began the recitation of an im
promptu verse of poetry, defending his
action and praying for a bright and happy
people for whom he died. The last sylla
ble had hardly fallen from his lips before
the executioner’s sword fell. As a special
mark of the heinous nature of his offense,
Yeto’s head was placed upon a stoke and
exposed in the public highway of the dis
affected province for several days. The
execution of Yeto was marked by a bit of
brevity and dispatoh almost equal to the
famous ‘veni, vidi, yici.’ Okubo was the
leader of the government forces hgainst
the insurgents—a man of experience and
ability. Yeto—his old comrade in arms,
and now his defeated enemy—was hiding
from his keen pursuit. Already several
days had passed, and still no news came
of the capture of the arch-rebel. At
length, however, a dispatch was received
at the capital from Okubo, at 12- o’clock:
‘Yeto is captured,’ and at 2 the same day
another, *Yeto has been sentenced and ex
ecuted.’ Short, shrift, that!'
The European War Cloud.—Accord
ing to a London correspondent, it would
appear that the French military authori
ties have recently resolved upon fortify
ing the eastern frontier, now wholly un
protected, without a single fortress, be
tween Paris on the one band and Metz
and Strasbnrg on the other, capable ot
detaining an invading army twenty-four
hours. It was decided that new fortifi
cations should be constructed at Verdun;
that a first class fortress should be con
structed at Langres, and that what is
called the trouee de Belfort should be made
that these forts could not be built. “If
this be true,” says.the correspondent, “it
is an interference in the internal concerns
of France which is equally indefensible
and impolitic. These fortifications are
purely defensive works. Their construc
tion cannot be considered as conveying
even the most distant hint of a menace
against Germany; their necessity, in a
military point of view, is acknowledged
even by Prussian military writers.” It
has often been said, and not without
reason, that- the Germans would never
permit France to complete her military
organization. But the construction of
three large fortresses to cover Paris, along
a frontier line something. over one hun
dred and fifty miles in length, is purely a
defensive measure; and if it be really
true that Prussia has set her face against
it, then a renewal of the war is at the
mercy of the least incident. It is hinted
that if this pretension is persevered in by
Prussia the other Great Powers of Europe
will interferefor the protectionof France;
the more especially as the Prussians, in
stead of dismantling Metz and Strasbnrg,
have been vastly extending and strength
ening the fortifications there.
The Brussels Conference.—The pro
ject of an international convention, to be
submitted by Russia to the powers which
will be represented at the Conference to
-be held at Brussels next month, is based
on the'following general principles:
1. An international, war is a state of
open struggle between two independent
States, isolated or acting with allies, and
between their armed and organized
forces.
2. The operations of war must be di
rected exclusively against the forces and
the means of war of the hostile State,
and not against its subjects, as long as
these latter do not themselves take an
active part in the war.
3. To. attain the object of warfare all
means and all measures conformable with
the laws and customs of war and justified
by the necessities of war are permitted.
The laws and customs of war forbid not
only useless cruelty and barbarous acts
against the enemy; they require even on
the part of the competent authorities the
immediate chastisement of those who
have rendered themselves guilty of such
acts when they were not provoked by
absolute necessity.
4. The necessities of war cannot jus
tify treason with respect to'the enemy,
the fact of declaring him outlawed and
the authorization to employ against him
violence and cruelty.
5. When the enemy does not observe
the laws and customs of war, such as
they are defined by the convention, the
opposite party may have recourse to re
prisals, but only as an unavoidable evil,
and without ever losing sight of the
duties of humanity.
Lively Drinking Water.—Mr. Wm.
Lewis, mate of the steamer Pentz, resid

more, having discovered for several days
past that the water drawn from his hy
drant was literally swarming with Ufe,
sent to the American office yesterday a
specimen of it In about one teaspoon
ful of water, contained in a small
homcepathic bottle, were fully one dozen
veritable eels or possibly young snakes,
sufficiently large to be seen by the naked
eye. By placing them under a magnify
ing glass they assumed a light reddish
color. They varied in size from a half
•inch to an inch and a quarter in length,
and to the eye appeared about the thick
ness of- a very fine hair. Our hydrant
water smells fishy everywhere, but we
were not exactly prepared to find that we
were drinking a decoction of young eels.
They were squirming aliout the bottle
with all the vitality and vigor of young
fishdom. We ieam that aU the hydrant
water in South Baltimore is thus suppUed
with these piscatorial animaleula. Some
of-them are said to measure fully three
inches in length, with their spqcies fully
developed.—Baltimore American.

Romance and Law.
A Paris correspondent of a London
paper, writing under date of June 22d,
says: “Ahighly dramatic trial is going
on before the Assize Court of Chalone-
sur-Saone. The accused party, M. La
croix, is indicted for manslaughter. He
is the son of a retired judge, the owner
of Senozan, the ancestral seat of the
Noailles, where he leads the life of a coun
try gentleman, fond of his gun and fish
ing-rod. The family at Senozan habitu
ally consists of M. Lacroix, Sr., Madame
Lacroix, and this son, who happens to be
a retired lawyer. It was increased last
year by the arrival from Toulouse of their
grand-daughter, Mile. Marie Despeyrous,
a girl of twenty. Her father is the
director of the .Toulouse Observatory.
Her mother died when she was in the
nursery. It would appear that while M.
Despeyrous was engaged in his astronom
ical studies, the young lady secretly be
came acquainted with an attorney’s clerk
named Bonnebaight, he having seen her
in church and fallen in love with her.
He demanded her in marriage of her
father, who refused. Mile. Marie, how
ever, continued to keep up a correspon
dence with M. Bonnebaight, and to meet
turn in the garden "of the observatory.
This went on for four years, at the end
of which a friend denounced her to her
relatives. She was at once sent to Bur
gundy, to her grandfather’s, where, be
fore many weeks, her lover presented
himself, and told her that she must elope
with him as she had promised.
Mile. Despeyrous, who had changed her
mind, pleaded her minority, which ren
dered it impossible for her to marry
Bonnebaight against the will of her father.
He would not admit this plea, and as the
altercation was going on M. Lacroix, Jr.,
who had just returned from shooting,
surprised the lovers. He called upon
Bonnebaight to give up certain letters to
which he heard him refer. An insolent
refusal was returned, on which H. La
croix, carried away by his anger, pre
sented his fowling-piece at the attorney’s
clerk, and discharged both barrels. A
slug carried away part of- the jaw; and
another, entering the breast pocket, was
stopped by a memorandum-book. M.
Lacroix surrendered himself ta justice.
A painful investigation followed his ar
rest—so painful that the greater part of
the trial was gone on with closed doors.
M. Lacroix is defended by M. Auloix,
formerly procureur’s substitute at the
Paris bar, and M. Bonnebaight’s demand,
as partie civile, for damages, is presented
by M. Jules Favre’s son-in-law, M.
Mara tain. Mile. Despeyrous has exhib
ited the utmost coolness in giving her
evidence—nover ohee, it is said, flinching.
The mutilated lover is literally chinless.
His jaw-bone figures on the table before
the bench as a piece de conviction. He
tells his story by a means of a slate and
pencil”
A cable telegram subsequently an
nounced-that M. Lacroix has been ac
quitted by the jury, but the court has
condemned him to pay the mutilated
prosecutor 20,000 francs fine, and an an
nuity of 2,400 francs.
A Practical Joke.—A telegram from
Dubuque, Iowa, mentions the arrival of a
stranger from the country in that town a
few days ago, and describes the result of
his innocent inquiry for directions to the
Marshal’s office. He was directed to that
officer’s headquarters, and told that if he
did not find the gentleman in to step
into the next room, and he would see a
rope; to pull that and the Marshal would
respond. He followed instructions to
the letter, and, not finding the officer in
his office, the-citizens were soon alarmed
by'the clamorous ringing of the fire bell.
Engine and hose turned out os quickly
as possible, and posted to headquarters
to ascertain where the fire was located,
and found the stranger there. The fire
men demanded where the fire was, and
on his answering he knew of no fire, but
wanted to see the Marshal, one of the
firemen was so irate that he pitched into
the stranger and gave him a sound thrash
ing. The stranger proceeded to a justice’s
office to take out a warrant for thc assault,
but was informed that if he did the fife-
man would bring suit for giving the false
alarm, which is liable to a $50 fine; so he
decided not to sue, and when last heard
from was looking for the man who told*
him how to find the Marshal.
Effects of the Civil Rights Bill.—
The civil rights bill seems to be doing its
work effectually among Southern Radi
cals. In Alabama an open rupture has
already occurred between the negroes,
who make the support of that measure
the supreme test of worthiness in candi
dates for their support, and some of their
white leaders, who seek to evade the issue
of civil rights. In Georgia the negroes
will hear of no other issue than civil
rights or, regard any other qualification
than support of the bill which is left
banging between the Senate and the
House for fhe negroes to grasp at during
the summer and fall Thus the outcome
of the tribute which the Senate paid to
tho memory of ‘Mr. Sumner is that the
negroes are everywhere forcing the race
issue even upon white men who have
hitherto consorted with them in politics
and alienating skilful and unscrupulous
leaders without whom they can accom
plish veiy little in politics. Wo shall
have to thank the Senate next fall for
some handsome Democratic victories in
States which, like Alabama, have hereto
fore been considered doubtful.—New York
World. . ~
A Terrible Tragedy.—A desperate at
tempt at murder and suicide was made in
New Brunswick, N. J.,'about 1 o’clock on
Monday afternoon. Thomas Kemp, an
employe in Janeway’s factory, near the
railroad depot, took his three children
out with him after dinner, and, proceed
ing to the upper lock of the canal, threw
them into the water, and then jumped in
himself. The children screamed lustily
for assistance, and soon a crowd collected
and succeeded in rescuing all except the
eldest child, a girl about thirteen years
old. Kemp himself was taken out in an
exhausted condition, and his recovery is
considered doubtful. The other children,
although very much exhausted, are now
considered out of danger. Kemp is said
to be sober, industrious, and a man
of considerable intelligence. Domestic
trouble is assigned, as the cause whioh
prompted him to commit the deed.
A Famous Agate.—A resident of Indi
anapolis has a moss agate stone, which
he picked up two hundred miles north
west of Fort Buford, in Dacotah Terri
tory. It is set in gold and worn as a
breast-pin, is nearly an inch long and
more than half an inch wide. The dis
position of the moss resembles very
clearly a castle with three distinct towers
and a long, low wall extending bock in
the rear, while beyond :s the sea line
very distinctly defined. The castle seems
to be sitting on the brow of a bold pro
montory, and the view down the side in
the foreground is very much broken, and
there are two distinct lines of road lead
ing, up to the gates. The combination of
;olors is asserted to be very striking and
ieautifuL
“Woven of many threads.” There are
two ladies living in Tennessee about
whom there is quite a romance, though
they have never met and personally are
strangers to each other. In their,girl
hood they wore both engaged to a cer
tain young gentleman, though neither
was aware of the other’s engagement.
Simultaneously they discarded him to
affiance themselves to another gentleman,
who has alto discarded by each,both think
ing he was coquetting with the other.
One of them finally married a gentleman
to whom the other had been engaged be
fore she met either of the gentlemen
above referred to.
The Maine Democrats have no longer
any use for protection. They resolve
that “a protective tariff is a most unjust,
unequal, oppressive and wasteful mode
of raising the public revenues,” and also
that “it is one of tho most freqqont and
fruitful sources pf corrupt administra
tion.” .They, therefore, “declare for-fre6
trade, and in favor of unfettered and un
restricted commerce.” This is pretty well
for “down East.”
