All sorts of tricks afid devices are

it was reserved for a Cincinnati man

For one hour and tweiity minutes

forefin<?crs glued to the bar while to
add to the discomfort p( the situation
the condition was imposed (hat no man
should drink or smoke while the result
was pending. The situaiibii was be*

Cincinnati man rushed foget a cigar.
He had some important correspondence
to prepare for the early morning mail,

fehe was knbwn to be adverse 'to her
son’s . ^rnige with the PnncCss
Mercedes, lie Duke of. Montpehsier’s
daughter, wliose Xiiberal conduct' in
t866 could not he forgiven, and the
Conservatives have been for months
past canvassing the probabilities of a
marriage with any other Princess in
Europe no matter which one. They
even had hopes that a match could be
made with a German .or. an Enj
Princess, “ not supposing,” says the
London correspondent of the Daily
News, “ for a moment that the daugh
ters of the Protestant dynasties wot Id
hesitate between their faith and the
precarious prize offered to them.’’
The Thing’s youth and the reluctance
of Senor del Castillo to allow him to
marry till certain events without had
accomplished themselves, were also
constructed, with the known opposi
tion of .the late Queen, as evidences
that the match would not be made.
In August public opinion was led to
believe lhat*the return to Spain of the
Duke of Montpensier and his family
nroved beyond doubt* that no resis
tance Would Shake the King’s determ-
If was even noticed that
directly after his return from Asturias
and Gailicia the Montpensiers arrived
and were treated with unusual honors.
Senor Castillo returned to Spain from
France, where it is understood that
’his observations did not tend to shake
his convictions against an early mar
riage,' and he foresaw that the ex.
Queen had only come to the Escurial
to tty in a personal interview what
her influence could yet do to delay the
final decision.^ fWh'en the interview
did take place, the Ministers were
observed to be most tlioughful, especi
ally the Liberals, while the Queen’s
friends were unusually elated. In the
evening the visitors and politicians
were amazed with the news that Queen
Isabella would' not go to France but
return to Seville. I Very soon it wm
reported that the King would" stay
three or*four days in the Escurial with
her before she departed for the Alca
zar. Then again came the intelligence
that the court would return almost
immediately from La Granja to Mad
rid even before September 25, the date
fixed to celebrate in La Granja the
fete day of Princess Mercedes. This
sudden change has ttaade the Modera-
dos very exultant, all the mure so
because they believe that the adjourn
ment of the royhl marriage will simply
pave the way to a reconstitution of
tbeir party and the growth of their
influence, until Martinez Campos can
return from Havana to Be their leader
itt the future Cortes. No less de
lighted with this extraordinary change
Me the friends of Bonapartism in
Spain. They feel confident that the
realization of the Montpensier alliance
is now adjourned sine die, wlflch will
w time for eyents'iri' Frnoce and
intrigues. Maqy people even in
the royal household are persuaded that
the opposition of the ex-Quron and of
|l.e Cabinet tnay. delay the realization
of 'the King’s plans, but will not in
t^e end prevent his carrying out his
(jesire. Before the interview at the
Escurial all classes of Spaniards had
imagined that even the Chief Minister
ouHgm
James Halsteacname from one ofthe-
New England States to this city. He
brought a few hundred dollars with
him, and for some weeks after his
arrival went from office to office in
search of employment. The only
'friend he tn&flti lltiru to whom hertutd h"*
would now stand in the way of an
alliance which every one looked upon
as almost a certainty. Spanish Lib
erals, though Dot very partial to the
•Duke, would far have preferred his
intervention in" State affairs because
he is known , to be a Liberal in religi
ous pad political policy, whereas the
Queen Mother represents those revolu
tionary currents which provoked the
revolution of 1868.
kny At’ iis Jaifory was in ofj negro
laundress, who jyaa acquainted with
f$fge of his peop^?, in the,, Bast.
Halstead disappt ared!suddOqly, levy
ing with tjiis woman a small trunk
and a package of papers. Last week
a lady called on this old laundress,
who lives on Broadway, near the
corner of Powell street, and said she
was Halstead’s sister, and had been
directed by him to call for the trunk
and papers. Mrs. Williams handed
over the trunk and the package,
believing the lady’s representations
to be true.
Yesterday Halstead walked into
the house, and greeting her in a
friendly manner, stated that he had
just returned from the Sandwitch
Islands, where he bad been fortunate
enough to make money. . Mrs. Wil
liams told him that his sister had
come to see. her, aud that she had
turned over the trunk and papers to
her. He appeared to be very much
disturbed at this, telling Mrs. Wil
liams that this woman, instead of
being liis sister, was bis step-mother,
and was the 'cause of his leaving the
East. He then told her the following
singular story, which she communi
cated to the Mail reporter:
His father was a wealthy merchant
of Lowell, Mas8., .and when James
left school he was given the position
of head bookkeeper in his office.
His mother had died when he was
very yonrlg, and a distant relative of
his took the place as 'housekeeper in
his father’s establishment. She was
young and attractive, and between
.Panics Halstead Jmd hersqlf an at
tachment sprung-up. The old gen
tlemati did not : seem to regard this
favorably, and finally sent bis 6on to
another part of the State, to act there
as agent of the firm. James corres
ponded with- his sweetheart, and
lonce Or twice visited her secretly in
Lowell. Ahd now came a great sur
prise.
James Halstead received a letter
from his father enclosing him several
hundred dollars and making a terri
ble chargfc, that lie had been uttering
lorged checks, and bigniug liisfather’s
n&me. The young man went indig
nantly to inquire into this most un
expected accusation and was con
founded to find his h indwriting so
closely imitated thstt he resolved to
leave and wait for time to clear this
mystery np. Since then he learned
that his fiancee was the guilty party.
After he came to California he re
ceived a newspaper containing an
account of his father’s marriage to
this false and dishonest woman. All
her letters he retained, scores of
which were of a nature to fasten the
suspicion of the forgery tipon hdl\
letters in which she implored him to
return to her, stating that she had
money enough for both, and that she
waff willing to accompany him to any
pait Of the globe. These letters she;
had trav elled to California to obtain
possession of.
Halstead has taken the advice of a
prominent lawyer cf this city oh the
matter, and is going home io en
deavor t r » vindicate his reputation,
and expose the woman who has
ruined him.
