—Judge Bruce, of the United States

S. enforcement net us applicable to
State elections, Gov. Parsons, and ex-
Unlted States Marshal Turner sup
ported the applicability, and Major
H. C. Tompkins and Col. E. S. Shor
ter opposed. Ex-Gov. Parsons, by
leave, made a statement to the effect
that he had no intention of charging
that the same state of affairs existed
at the present ns at the time the
enforcement acts were passed; that
his remarks were intended to
apply to the past, and that
he had been encouraged by the pres
ent aspect of affairs and believed tile
laws were more, faithfully adminis
tered. The case will be resumed to
morrow.
—On Saturday, the 17th inst., Mr.
C. D. Allensbrook, who on his way to
Texas stopped in Pollard for few days,
became Intoxicated and was abusing
his wife (a daughter of Mr. William
Fowler, of Wuton county, Florida,
who had accompanied them ttius far),
when her father, who had a knife in
his hand at the time, seeing her mis
treated, stabbed Allensbrook Just
above the heart, inflicting a danger
ous wound. At this time he is doing
well, and witli cure will recover. Mr.
Fowler escaped into Florida, where
lie was arrested by a Mr. Jones, who
proposed to bring him to Pollard, but
not wishing to come here, while
Jones was at breakfast Fowler took a
Spanish furlough and we hope is at
home witli his family—not that we
approve of man-killing, but for a man
to sit still and see hisdaughternbused
in this way is not to be expected.
Lady Diana Huddleston is de
scribed as ‘‘Conspicuous in the morn
ing drive at Brighton, in a light gray
driving coat with gray velvet collar,
varying her costume by a lint of gray
felt and crimson wing, or a lady’s
silk riding hat tied round with alight
veil.” Lady Di is a rather remnkn-
ble person. She is the only daughter
of the late Duke of St. Albans, and
lias gained prestige as a writer.
When she ill'st appeared in the Lon
don world several great matches were
prescribed for her, and she undoubt
edly set her cup at the heir to the
throne of Holland, who spent a great
part of one season in London. But
mucli-admired ladies often overshoot
the mark, and Lady Dl remained
single until at 31 she met with Mr.
Huddleston, a clever barrister, and
very ambitious of social distinction,
to whose devoted homage she at
length deigned to listen, although he
hud begun life in the humble ]>osition
of usher in a school. There was a
story current in the Inns of Court
that when Mr. Huddleston (now u
Judge) announced his marriuge to a
party of legal friends, one, while
warmly congratulating him, added
an expression of surprise; "Because,”
suid he, “my dear Huddleston, we
always regarded you as reserved for
thy Princess Beatrice.” Lady Di
owes her existence remotely to the
lovesof Charles II. und NellGwynne,
and litis often. affected costumes re-
culling the famous courtesan, her an
cestress. The Duchess Dowager, her
mother, who is not wealthy, is now
the constant companion of Mrs.
Hicks, of New York.
At a matrimonial bureau lately
opened in Vienna the ladies pay a
fee, and are required to attend for two
hours daily. Men call and arc intro
duced. Women who possess accom
plishments are requested to play the
piano, and are examined witli regard
to their sentiments and acquisitions.
One visit sometimes settles a case, but
more are often paid. The ladles have
tiie privilege of rejecting candidates
without being subjected to additional
fees during the period for which they
have paid.
In 1770 tiie King of Portugal issued
ail edict forbidding widows of above
50 to marry: “Because experience has
shown that women of that age com
monly marry young men of no prop
erty, who dissipate their fortunes to
tiie prejudice of tiie children and oth
er near relations of their wives.”
