Lord Avonmore is dead. As tho Hou.
Willinm Charles Yolverton, Major iu till
Royal Artillery, tbo late Lord Avonmorr
wim hotter known. It in just twenty-
two years since lie was sued by a nom
inal plaintiff who nought to establish the
validity of a secret marriage celebrated
Let ween him and Misn Teresa Long-
worth, on the 16th of August, 1867, in
the little Catholic church of Warrou-
port, near Rostrevor, in the County
Down, by a certain Father Mooney.
Has the memory of that famous trial
wholly passed away ? Has the world
forgotten how th" defendant Btood in the
tng yenr, died, •• Did your nrotnor ten
vou before lie died,” asked the counsel,
" Umt lie regretied this net of lti-t life?"
" tie did not tell me,” replied Yolverton,
candid for once; "but 1 daresay he said
it.” " Sir," rejoined tho Sergeant, "he
wished to spare yon. That iH why he did
not toll ydd.” Bo YolVortoe Wan Married
again, and on the night before lie per-
lormett tins new ceremony no rend the
love-letters which Teresa had sent him.
"Caro niio Carlo," she had written,
" think at least of the happiness we have
known together—so entire, so unbounded.
Is there any joy in the world to lie com
pared to reciprocated love ? now every
thing on earth became indifferent hut
our two selves, Yotl said 1 Was the dear
est small Teresa that over lived, and 1
thought there was not in the world an
other Carlo like mine.”
Tho evidence’ was concluded. The
counsel for the plaintiff addressed the
jury, "To yon,” said lie, " I commit
this grent cause, I am not longer able
to address yon, Would to Ood I had
taionta or physical energy to enlist them
longer on the part of this injure 1
woman. Hho finds an advocate in you;
she finds it in tho respected Judge oil the
liouch ; she finds it in overy heart that
bonta within this court, and in every
honest man throughout tho country."
After the Chief Justice's charge, the jury
quickly gave their verdict. "How, say
you, gentlemen?” naked the Judge;
“ was there a Scotch marriage?” "Yes,
my lord," replied the foreman. "And
was there an Irish marriageP" "Yes,
my lord.” "Then you find tho defend
ant was a Roman Catholic twelve months
before?" "So wo believe, my lord."
Before tho foremnn uttered tho Iasi
word, the whole court hurst into cheers.
Hats and handkerchiefs were waved.
Ladies clapped their handH and wept for
joy. The fees being handed to the jury,
the foreman gave them hack, saying that
none of their number would receive n
lienny in this ease.
Then camo the ovation in the streets.

tiff been obliterated, with her delicate,
oval face, and glossy auburn hair, beau
tifully symmetrical in feature and in
figure ?
Nothing could surpass tho cynical
frankness of Major Yelverton’s forced
confession. He admitted that, from the
beginning, his love was nil founded on
dishonor. When ho first mot Teresa in
tho convent at Galatea, whore she was
wearing tho robes of n sister of mercy,
whon she was attending the sick and
dying soldiers of tho Crimea, he formed
the design of accomplishing her ruin.
"Do you think it a laudable thing to
seduce a woman ?” naked the counsel,
"Upon my honor, I do not.” "Upon
your honor 1” cried Sergeant Sullivan,
with a sneer. "Ujxm your oath, sir. I
do not want your notions of honor, ”
His plans, however, were on this
occasion frustrated, and he was driven
into tho Scotch marriage, which lie
afterward claimed to be fraudulent. He
swore that his purpose had been ac
complished in Edinburgh. But Miss
Longworth indignantly denied his state
ment. " O Carlo mio,” she wrote, " to
suspect me of such a thing 1 I whose
life is ebbing away for you; I who have
sacrificed all but God for you.”
" You see this letter,” said tho counsel
in court. "Is the Inst passage true?"
There was no answer. "Rend the
letter,” continued the lawyer. "Have
you come to the passage ‘ I who have
sacrificed all but God for you ?’ I ask
if it is true?” " It is an exaggerated ex
pression,” faltered the defendant at last.
“Is it true?” persisted Sergeant
Sullivan. "It is trio,” replied Yelverton
in despair. And the spectators burst
into an universal hiss.
Finding Teresa importunate, the
Major determined to put her off with an
Dish marriage, knowing that the union
of Protestant and Catholic was void.
"It was to be what we called," he said,
"her conscience-saving ceremony.” The
couple went to the altar; they knelt
down side by side ; the priest stood lie
fore them. "Did yon take her for let
ter or worse?” "I don’t recollect.” "In
sickness and in health ?” "I don’t
recollect.'’ "Did you take her for your
wedded wife?’ r "Something of that
sort; I recollect her taping mo for her
wedded husband, at any rate.”
“Did you mean it to be a raere
mockery?” "No, I meant to sus
tain and protect her to the end of her
days.” That was all that could he
drawn from him on the subject.
In ten months more he had married
another wile. Being in dread that she
would appear to forbid the bans, he
had sent his brother as his agent to her.
He proposed to ship her off to New Zea
land. He told her that she might cap
tivate some other rich man. His brother
conveyed liis message and, in the follow-
oniigratulato tho plaintiff. Men shook
hands with people they <V ; d not know,
so grout was the enthusiasm. Hundred-

Yelverton’s carriage to tho Gresham

rattled along the street amid such shout
ing and cheering ns rarely before hud
been heard in Dublin, "My noble-
hearted friends," said Mrs. Yelverton,
coming forward on the balcony of the
hotel, "you have made me this day an
Irishwoman; by tho verdict that 1 am
tho wife of an Irishman. I glory (o be
long to such a nation. You will live
in my heart forever, ns I have lived in
your hearts to-day. ”
That wns tho apogee of he.' life.
Thenceforward nothing but sorrow and
heartburning was in store for her. Ap-
1 moled from the people, to tho bench,
from the liencli to the House of Lords,
the suit was constantly denied. She lec
tured here and ill England, but with lit
tle success. For nearly ton years she
fought her case, and was beaten at every
point, Major Yolverton being shielded by
technicalities of tho marriage law. He
disappeared from lies haunts and it was
not till long after succeeding to his
father's title that he ventured to settle
down in obscurity in Ireland. Teresa
went to the Cape, where she wrote for
the colonial newspapers. Her heart had

The Florida "Cracker” is the poorest
specimen of white civilization I have
anywhere met, writes a correspondent of
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Not that he
is vicious, dishonest or cowardly, but he
seems continuously lazy. I stood upon
the bridge at Bt. Augustine recently and
took note of those coming to market. A
single mule or one ox was the rule, and
four wheels and a double Mam the excep
tion. One team came by marked “ font
express.” It was a two-wheeled cart
drawn by one diminutive black steer
about the size they wean in Illinois. Ho
was, however, pulling a fair load of char
coal tied up in hags, and was guided by
lines tied round his horns. Behind him
came a long, lean native astride of a
horse so Bmall that when he came to
deep sand he had to crook liis knees to
keeo his feet clear. The horse pulled n
cart by rope harness, in which was seated
his wife and a chicken coop, which con
tained two hens and a rooster. His
house and improvements correspond, as
a rule, with horses and vehicles, and he
vegetates rather than lives. He, has not.

TOMBSTONE U1UMMAR.
A Western paper tells a little story of
an Eastern eollego graduate who camo
out to make his fortune in silver: A so
cially inclined person in a blue shirt and
wido-rimmod hat, good-naturedly an
swered overy question • the young mnn
asked, and volunteered a vast amount of
interesting information about Arizona hi
general and Tombstone in particular.
"Doyou see them hills?” asked tho
Tombstoner, pointing through one of
the oflloo windows. "Well, them hills
is chock full of pay dirt."
The young man from the East looked
shocked.
"My dear sir,” he said, proudly but
kindly, "yon should say, those hills are
—not ‘them hills is.”’
Tho Tombstoner was silent for a mo
ment. Ho looked tho young man from
the East critically over. Then drawing
out an ivory-stocked seven-shooter of
elaborate stylo and finish, ho said in a
soft, mild, musical tone of voice that
aoundod like a wildwood brook ooursing
o’er ito pebble lied:—"My gentle un-
aoltcd tenderfoot from tho land of the
rising sun, this here’s a pint that you
and mo disagrees on and we might as
well have it settled right now. I haven’t
looked in a grammar lately, but I nay
‘them hills is’ is correct, and I’m going
to stand by that opinion. I’ll give yon
just three minutes to think calmly over
the subject, for you probably spoke in
haste tho first time, and then I’ll hear
your decision.”
Tho young man from the East looked
down the delicately-chased barrel of tho
revolver into the placid depths of tho
eye of tho Tombstoner and began to feel
(hat many points in grammar are uncer
tain and liable to grow more so. Then
ho thought of tho Coroner’s inquest and
of the vordiot, "camo to his death by
standing in front of Colorado Tom’s
seven-shooter,” nnd before half tho three
minutes was up he was ready to acknowl
edge his error.
"Since he had thought it over calmly,’
ho said, “ho believed that ‘them hills in,’
is right. He lind spoken on the spur of
the moment," ho added, "and begged a
thousand pardons for his presumptuous
effort to substitute bail grammar for
good.”
The Tombstoner forgave him freely,
and, grasping his hand, said: I
"I kuow’d you’d say you was wrong j
after you thought a moment. I admire
a man who give* right in without argu
ing when he knows he’s wrong.”
A WAY THEY HAVE.
Two lailies who were bound somewhere
in company a few days ago entered a
Woodward avenue car together, and no
sooner were they seated than both made
a dive for their purses.
“Oh, let me pay 1” pleaded one,
“Oh, I couldn’t think of it I”
"Oh, do, now; I have just the
change.”
"Oh, but I have tickets.”
"Yes, but you paid the Inst time.”
"But you can pay some other time.
Here —”
She was hurriedly searching through
her portemonnaie, but didn’t seem to
find anything.
"I told you I had—”
And the second one began a search in
a wild manner, emptying out pins,
needles, and buttons, but no money.
"Why, I do declare 1” gasped the
first.
“Strangest thing I ever saw 1” added
the second.
“I’ll pay for both,’’observed a man oa
the seat opposite, and he marched up,
fumbled through his pockets and held
out a battered quarter to the driver.
The latter would not take it, and the
limn marched out and slid off the plat
form in the most solemn manner, and at
i lie next crossing the ladies said they
lmd taken the wrong car, rang the bell,
and got off. —Detroit Free Pres*.
IN THE WBONU PLACE.
A stranger ^entered the office of on
ocean steamer agent, on Griswold street,
Hays the Detroit Free Press, and asked :
"Can a man come from Ireland by
your line ?”
" lie con. sir.”
"Will you bring over my oldest broth
er ?"
" We will that."
" For how much ?”
" I» first-rate shape for 880."
" l think I’ll pay tiie money," said the
stranger, but, as ho was pulling out his
wallet, the agent nsked:
^ In what port of Ireland ia your
brother?”
" In the Dublin jail, sir, as a suspect I

satisfied cuBiosrrr.
It was a quiet-looking little man with
a frayed mustache who got on a Cass
Avenue ear the other night, and he had
a square wooden box under his arm with
rows of holes punched in the top, which
immediately attracted tho attention of a
corpulent passenger with a cotton um
brella, who was sitting near the door.
"I suppose you have some wild animnl
in Hint box," said he tapping it with liis
umbrella.
"Yes," replied the other, shrinking
into a cornar.
"You Lav* a museum somewhere,
may lie ?”
"No,” suawerod the small man, look
ing down at hia feet.
"Well, might I ask you what you hava
in that box?” questioned the fat man,
bis curiosity increasing.
"Certainly," murmured the man with
i lie box, looking lika the chief mourner
at a funeral. There wna a dead silence
fur Hovornl minutes, when the oorpulent
man spoke up aomowhat impatiently.-
"Well, what is it?”
"It is a mongoose,” said the melan
choly man.
"A mongoose, what’e that?” asked
the man with the umbrella, leaning over
and eying the box curiously.
"It is an animal that exterminates
snakes,” replied the small man, pnllieg
IiIh hat over his eyes.
"And what do you propose to do with
it?" asked the fat man, opening hi*
eyes until they looked like watch-dink
"I don’t propose to do anything with
it," answered the other, nervously. "It,
iH for a friend of mine who haa the dt -
lirimn tremens, aud wants something to
xill the snakes he sees.”
."But they aren’t real snakes, you
know," exclaimed the fat man, opening
liiM mouth until tiie other oould see lus
cork soles.
"No, that’s true,” said the quiet man,
getting up and putting the box under
bis coat, "but then this isn’t a real mon
goose, you sue,”
And ho evaporated out of the door,
while the fat man stared thoughtfully
out of the window at the flickering gas-
l.irnps.
The Bouquet.
There is a Hlory of ail elderly party
who was made sentimentally unhappy
by the charms of a leading actress, mid
intended to express his feelings by
throwing her a splendid bouquet on tho
evening of her benefit, no secured n
box, provided himself with tho choicest
flowers the local florist could furnish,
and gave a recherche little dinner to
three friends to whom he had confided
his intention, and whom he also asked to
share his box. The bouquet lay re
splendent near his hand all the evening:
but ho was so engrossed in tho perform
ance that one of his companions, an un
conscionable wag, cut tho string that
bound tiie flowers together through and
through. Of courso when the moment
came for throwing it to tho lady, all the
blossoms distributed themselves indis
criminately among the occupants of the
pit and the members of tho orchestra,
amid roars of laughter from the audience
generally, and ironical cheers from the
"upper story.”
All for Utflor.
The Canary Islands, the largest of
which is Teneriffe, are falling into a mis
erable condition consequent upon the
discovery of aniline and the fabrication
of colors from it. For three centuries
past Spanish inertness caused these
beautiful and richly endowed islands to
exist solely upon the breeding of the co
chineal insect, which is not able to com
pete with tho much brighter and cheaper
aniline dyes. The islands have therefore
lost their main source of support.
Those who have anything left emigrate
to Brazil, frequently leaving their wives
nnd children to beg and starve.
Compulsory Education.—The new
Compulsory Eduoation law of Rhode
Island requires that every child between
the ages of 7 and 15 years shall have
sixteen weeks of schooling each year.
No child under 12 is to be allowed to
work in any manufactory, and no one
under 14 who cannot write his name,
age, and place of residence, or read some
part ol the Slate Constitution,
