mm' Pr A Husband’s Revenge. A True Stor y. In the beautiful, maple-shaded village of West Liberty lives a rara avis named David Donald. He is tne most solemn and the Blowest of mortals He makes bis living by fiddling at frolics ard doing odd jobs of wood-chopping and corn-cnt- ting which he performs in a deliberate way most aggravating to his employers. David has a wife—a fat and frisky femme, rather good-looking, and so fond of flattery that she would long ago have excited the green-eyed monster in any other hnsband than David. Bat David plodded on and ate his beans and pork, keeping his eyes closed to her flirtations with a certain gay Lothario of a real-estate owner with spectacles and a bald head, of the utmost respec tability. At length, however, his eyes were op ened by his obliging neighbors and a quarrel ensued, in which the fair and frail dame ordered her spouse from the dwelling and served publio notice that she would not be responsible for his pecuniary obligations. The village poet put this sad fact into rhyme, and David, being him- serf a musician, was vexed in soul to hear the bad little boys singing about the street: 'Dave Donald's left my bed and board, These few days, these few days; He went away of bis own accord, And ain't a coming home. I warn the town from trusting Dave, These few days, these few days; His little bills they'll have to 3have, For he ain't a-ooming home.' This is but a sample of many verses, and to create a diversion David went through all the stores and volunteered to sort over the old eggs, taking therefrom tue spoiled ones, olaiming to know these through a dexterous shake that be trayed their inner quality. In this way he col lected quite a basketful of ‘decayed hen fruit,’ as it is called in the village. Thus armed and equipped David stationed himself cn the picket line as it were, hid by a picket fence, in sight of his late happy home, now blighted and forever lost to him, through an unfaithful wife and a proprietor of real estate and steel-rimmed spec tacles. His watch was well rewarded in the appear ance of the proprietor of land and spectacles, emerging from his blighted home. The trouba dour permitted the perfidious proprietor to draw within short range, and then fired a hen pro duct that took the amorous old gentleman be tween the eyes, knocking his steel-rimmed spec tacles off, and so blinding him that he could not see his assailant. He opened his month to protest io some profanity when another of the fixed ammunition entered that oritice to his mental edifice, exploded aud rendered him hors du combat. The betrayed and blighted being continued his assault before a gathering crowd until the aged decfiver was covered with the spoiled pro duct of the hen-house. The projectiles being exhausted, David retired amid cheers from the populace. His accuracy ot aim was greatly admired, for only one projec tile missed its maik and hit the town constable in the commissary, while hurrying up to quiet the disturbance. The proprietor of real estate and the late steel rimmed spectacles ‘skipped the town,' as they say oat West, and David had many honors con ferred upon him. He is the heto of the honr and the henyard. The Divorced Wife. A Sad Story. About three years ago 0. De Trafford Black- stone, son of Lorei zo Blacbstoae, tbo wealthi est resident of a northern city, and a nephew of T. B. Biackstone, president of the Chicago and Alston railroad, was married to Miss Lillie Os borne, who was playing in the Park Theatre in New York City. Mr. Blachstone, the husband, took up his residence in an elegant house in the most aristocratic quarter of tho city. A beanti- boy was born, which is now about two years old. The couple lived unhappily, and lastwin- ter Mr. Blackstone obtained a divorce from bis wife, who then went to New York city to live with her stepfather, Mr Kidder, who baa occa sionally visited her chi’, i in its Norwich home since the separation. About a week ago (he di vorced wife visited Norwich, and took the child and its nurse to ride in her carriage. This morning she arrived in this city in company with three men, one of whom was her stepfather and the others reputed New Y'ork detectives. This afternoon in a diiviDg rain storm, she was driven with heretcorts in a hack to the home of her late husband who is traveling with his fath er ana uncle through the West. She ran up the steps aDd rang the doorbell. The maid opened the door and she entered the reception room. She asked for the babe, and the nurse brought it and placed it in her arms. She fondled it for a moment and kissed it. Then she turned sud denly and ran out of the Louse and entered the carriage, bearing tho child in her arms. The carriage was at once driven down the street. The nurse ran after it, beggir g the driver to stop. It went rapidly on, and the nurse fillowed bare headed until she came to the police station, which she entered and sank fainting on the floor. Then she started up and cried. •They ve got the baby.’ Ofiicers were dispatched to to the depots, and to the steamer City of Lawrence, which lay at her wharf. The divoiced wife was found on the steamer. An order of arrest was issned, and sho was prevailed upon to go to the office of Col. llipley, who had been her counsel in the past. Mr. llipley said he knew of no Jaw that would compel a mother to surrender her child, aud Bhe was permitted to withdraw. Then, with the child and her three assistants, she entered the carriage and was driven into Preston, an adjoin ing town. It is believtd to-night they are mak ing for Rhode Island, or some other point out side of Connecticut jurisdiction. They bad hardly rolled out of sight before the influential friends of Mr. Blackstone had resolved to pro cure their arrest at any cost. Officers were dis patched in carriages in pursuit of the fugitives, and Sberifl Bate-i started on horseback late to night on the same errand. The affair has pro duced the liveliest kind of excitement here. New York Nov. 1.—A dispatch from Port Jervis gives an account of a horrible crime com mitted at 'ihomson, Pa. where Miss Kennet, a young school teacher, was ontraged by tramps, who feared identification and cut out her tongue. The victim seems to have bad strength remain ing to have written her wrongs on a blackboard in the school-room. The trustees, gathering for regular meeting last Friday evening discover ed the evidences of the crime in the lifeless vic tim on the school-room floor, and her written story on the blackboard. The big railroad riug of freight thieves, now beiDg unearthed at Dallas T xas, was first discov ered in consequence of a freight clerk, Flint, who bad been arrested at the instance of influ ential m.mbers of (he ring for the loss of tour barrels of sngar. H j blabbed in bis anger, the detectives were set to work, and the result is the brirgiug to light of a most ugly business, implicating Texas and Pacific rfficers. promi nent rmreliantB 01 Dallas, where tbethn-ves had • regular warehouse, and others who have been catling on the stealing for years. j Dramatic Gossip. Mr. Fred May has received offers to go upon the stage; and there are those who assert that in the event of bis acceptanje, be would prove in time the successor ot the late J. H. Montague. He is hesitating between this offer, with its as surance of a good salary, and his desire to go to Arizona, Before the footlights be would be sure of a certain degree of suocess. The prestige ot his sensational 1 en-counter with Beunet, together with his social position, will draw a fashionable house in itself; aud then, Fred May is one < f the handsomest young men in New York. He is tall, and of at once sinewy and elegant propor tions. His features are regular, and his fresh- colored, handsome face is graced by a silky brown moustache. He has been well educated, ib an athlete to some extent, brave and young. Were he to go upon the stage he woald be as oertaiu of contemporaneous human interest as ever Montagne, Rignold or Capoul, and when there was a May matinee the boose would be so full of women, armed with bouquets and billet- doux that he would wonder how he ever oould have thought of the far, far West. The favorite Comedian Sothern now in Eng land is cabled as being very ill. His physicians demand a withdrawal from the stage for six months, and Dundreary will not delight New York at Christmas. At the Brooklyn Academy of Musio last week Miss Mary Anderson, under the management of Mr. John P. Smith, delighted theatre-goers with a number of her remarkable impersonations. It was her first appearance there, and she met with the same great success that attended her in oth er cities. NilBBon was willing to sing in St. Petersburg this winter for the modest sum ot $5,000 a night, but as Albani was willing to do it for $3,000 she is to have the engagement. Panline Lucca, the prima donna, like Ristori, was, in her childhood, an itinerant, barefooted street singer, glad to earn a penny. lteoently, daring her engagement with John McCullough, the tragedian, at Chicago, Miss Maude Granger was somewhat surprised, upon reaching her hotel, at being the recipient of a lively KiDg Charles canine, and delighted at finding atoatebed to the bine ribbon around its neck, a 'solitaire' diamond ring, with the rather flattering inscription, 'To the best Virginia upon the stage.’ The ‘solitaire’ is valued at $1,200. Verily, it is pleasant to be a popular actress in Chicago. ‘Mm^. Modj ska’s art. as art, is admirable, bat she does not have the eflect upon one that a hu man being should. Sue seems so spirituelle and unreal. Once aud awhile Nym Crinkle says a good thing, and when he compared Modjeska to one of those gossamer-like skeleton leaves, he had an inspiration. ‘Mother aud Son’ does not strike me as ut all a remarkable play. NEW YORK STAGE. Blind Tom may be regarded in the light of a national cariosity—a unique specimen,as it were of what might be called, for want of something better, musical instinct. His engagement closed in New York last week. The crowds who go to Gilmyra’s seem fully to appreciate the wonders of the menagerie, muse um, and aviary, while the splendid ridiDg of Miss Emma Lake, who rejoices in the proud title of ‘America’s Sidesaddle Queen,’ is something out of the usual run of equestrian performances. Modjeska. the oountess actress, whom Atlanta will see in the Bpring, m thus criticised by Anna Dickinson: The brother of Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, is married to a popular actress. For this he was exiled, but is now again in Vienna. Minnie Hauck says that ‘Carman’ is a very fa tiguing opera. She has to change costumes ev ery act, even to stockings. Clara Morris has been interviewed in regard to her husband, Mr. Harriot, and she declares she is very unhappy, and that her husband drives her upon the stage that she may earn money to prop up his decaying business, etc. We Bhonld not imagine that the publication of the interview will make her domestic life more pleasant Charlotte Thompson will appear at DeGive’B opera house in Atlanta, November 20th and 21st. Mile. Illma de Murska is always enthusiasti cally received when she appears in concert, her wond erlul vocal execution and brilliant sty leal- ways raising her audiences to a high pitch of en thusiasm. PERSONAL^ DEATH OF BARON ABRAHAM YON 0PPENHEIM The first Jew who received a Title of Nobility in Prussia. Tennyscn is said to have a very sad expres sion of faoe at all times. Mme. Von Stamwitz has appeared as Leah, which is not us pictorial as her Messalina, and therefore not as attractive. This actress, if you will excuse ihe vulgarism, travels professionally on her Bhape. Her efforts as Leah are more honest, doubtless, than as Messalina, but she suffers by comparison with Janauschek, who gives the curse with tremendous force and ve locity. George S. Knight, a dialect comedian has a play after the Fn z pattern, aud the Wil liamson’s Struck Oil gushes forth perpetually. At Wallack's, where they are getting up a semi centennial benefit for the veteran John Gilbert, that actor is now to be seen as Sir Anthony Ab solute iu the Rivals, one of his tine old mellow performances; none better. Mother and Son has but a short timeiiiore to live at the Union Square Theatre, where Bronson Howard's Lillian, re christened ‘The Bunker's Daughter,’ is under lined for speedy representation, with Miss Sarah Jewett, who has been rather under a cloud of late, as the heroine. At Booth’s an indifferent opera bouffe company iiave been giving Jeanne, Jeannette et Jeannelon, a pleasing work, new to us, but without too much success. One of the prima donnas, a Mile Z-lie Weil, from the bouffs Parisiens, is attractive, however, and knows how to do <qaivocal things with more cldc thaD vulgarity. Sue can lay claim to no good looks save the beaute da di/ible, but she quite outshone everyone else uu tue stage. The Italian opera relies, and not unwisely, upon Carmen, which has had three additional repre sentations pending Mme. Gender's expected entree, who is being feted by her compatriots, the Hungarians, who ought to be very proud just now, for De Murska is here now singing every Sunday like a Christian, and Remenyi, the vio linist, will shortly arrive. Little Lotta bounded out last week at (he Park Theatre, New York, as La Cigale—in the play of that name written for her by Olive Logan—or rather rescued from the original Fiench. The play is a flimsy s flair as to plot, but it is bright ened up with tff etive situations and dashing dialogue, and funny conceits, after the fashion of Olive Logan. Aud it suits Lottato a T. No body else could make much of it, but it is just in Ler style. Bhe had a hearty greeting wuen she was carried on in the short bine gauze skirts of La Cigale, a poor little circus performer, who had been found iD the woods by an artist aud his friend, having run away from the Imperial Circus to escape the attentions of the mauager and clown, the Hercules and the Lightning Cal culator, who presently appear iu their war paint. Naturally, In Cigale takes kindly to the artist, depicted hy Fred Robinson, in a blonde wig and with an air of youthful gayety that sits heavily upon the middle age. Artist loves another— beautiful, heartless Parisian coquette, whom ev erybody else loves, at least all the men —poor Cigale perceives it, but winks, shuffles the cards aud waits; before she has waited long, is pro claimed a long-lost, strawberry-marked heiress; refuses the reiterated offer of the imperia cir- cur to return to itB fold; departs to hbr palatial home, where hbr aunt has been expecting her for some years; wears beantilui white satin gown powdered wig,—why ? siDce the period is of to day—futiDy business with embroidery, gets up and puts the needle through frame, then goes to the other side and pulls it through; dances can can with young viscount, who is pesented to her as a suitor for her hand; he too loves Paris ian coquette, RiDgs oom.c Bongs aud performs walk-rounds with the manager of the imperial circus, who has introduced himself into palatial residencejsaves artist from drowning; pitches in to beautiful Parisian coquette, who is in the same boat; b. P. c. calls her a little circus per former; consternation of viscount and papa. Tnird act, many pictures done by Cigale’s ar tist, Enter Cigale, wLo oanna buckle to the viscount, aud has run away with the idea of re joining the imperial circus, if the worst cornea to the worst, but wants her portrait painted first by her favorite artist Before he can excoate this purpose they come to an understanding She finds that he has gotten over the Parisian coquette aud loves her; aunt beams consent— general joy. Such is the living skeleton, so to Bpeak, ot Lotia's circus in La Cigale. Put with it, to carry out the metaphor, the fat woman of her peifurmance; and it is unquestionably en tertaining. Loita seemed in better health and spirits than when last here, and it was impossi ble not to laugh at her droll grimaces, her pranks and the quaint and piquant delivery she gives to some of the speech put iu the mouth of the little circus waif. She is well supported, par ticularly by Mr. Clement D. Bainbndge, who is clever, despite his too obvious imitation ol Sath- rons Dundreary, It is now finally settled that Brigham Yonng left seventy-one children. A nephew cf the late Charles Dickens is a Methodist clergyman in Illinois. It is recorded cf Ole Ball that when he was a youDg man he attempted suicide. Werdell Phillips says: ‘Politics is God’s way of teaching the masses ethics.’ Garibaldi has made a successful real estate operation which gives him a modest fortune to ease his declining <Uys at Caprera. The English press pronounces Gough to be a master of the art tf public speakmg. ‘Few can hope to equal, far'less to excel him.’ Wo are sorry to learn that Florenoe Nightin gale is serionsiy ill. Her whole life has been one cf self-abnegation and Cbristian charity. Shakespeare received £5 sterling for the act ing copy of Hamlet. Gray was paid £1500 for the Beggar’s Opera, and Moore got 3000 guineas for Lalta Rookh. George Francis Train calls meat the delirium tremens of flesh, and attributes the visit of the yellow fever to gormandizing, alcohol, tobacco and quinine ! Grant has been received in Spain with almost regal honors. His personal interview with the king was a m06t flittering and friendly one. Whipple says very truly: ‘A politician weakly aDd amiably in the right, is do match for a pol itician teniciously and pugnacionsly in the wrong.’ Hoe, the inventor of the wonderful improve ment in printing presses, is engaged on still another great improvement in his special line. Mary Dolan was awarded damages a few days since by a court in Brooklyn, N. Y., against two ruuiselle s for npikuig Uer husband a drunk ard. ^ ' At a meeting in one of onr neighboring coun ties, one of the revived brethren importuned thusly: ‘Oh Lord, come right down through the roof of the house, and I’ll pay for the shingles!’ Madame Mrintenon, in speaking of Liuis XiV., said: ‘He imagines that he is expiating his faults, by being inexorable to the faults of others.’ There are a few more left of the same sort. Ex Governor Warruofb, (Republican,) of Lou isiana, in a recent conversation, predicted that the Booth would be solid until the Republican party entirely dies out there.—Washington Post. The Russian Government has forbidden seve ral ladies who have gained medical diplomas to practice in the province of Novgorod. Russian women doctors are usually very advanced in po litical ideas.

Remain, a French physician, declares that to be tree fri in liability to yellow fever one has only to drink boiled water, yellow fever being the exclusive result ot drinking water that has become corrupted, and that if one is attacked by the disease he will be cured in twelve hours it be will only drink largo quantities of boiled water, even in the midst of the vomitings. Farmer Gilman fixed a gun in his melon patch, in Summerset, Iowa, in such a way that the person who stinvd a certain targe, ripe melon would receive acharge ol beans. He meant to remove the gun in the morning if no thief was caught in the night, but belore daylight his mother-in-law went out to gtt a melon, and got the beans. She was serionsiy wounded, and refuses to believe that GilmaD did not set the trap for her. The Jacksou Railroad. New Orleans Times. The mayor on Thursday received the follow ing, with the request that he get as many sign ers as possible: To Mr. J. C. Clark. General Manager, and to the Officers and Employees of the Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans Rtilroad Company: Dear Sirs—As the dread scourge that has af flicted the people and country along the entire line of your railroad from Cairo to New Orleans, has about run its course, and the sable-winged messenger is pluming his wings for his flight for a season, we, the citizens along the line of your road, desire to tender to yon one and all, our heartfelt thanks for your monfioent gifts, aud for the oheerlul and obliging manner in which you have aided the stricken communities dependent on yonr road for supplies, aud for your hearty co-operation with the authorities whenever requested, even at great pecuniary loss to your company, to prevent the introduc tion of the yellow fever. For yourselves, individually and collectively, we will ever entertain feelings of the pr~fonnd- est gratitude. Trusting that you may live long to eDjoy the pleasure of the commendation of the survivors of this memorable season, we are, very respect fully, your sincere Iriends and well-wishers. The mayor says the managers of the road did indeed act handsomely, as they transported free of ohargs to this city lime, provisions, etc., for disinfecting and for supplying the needs of the afflicted and the destitute. Germany.—Baron Abraham von Oppenheim who died in the evening of the 9th inst., was the oldest amongst the German millionaires. After Rothschild, he bore the most brilliant name amongst the German monetary princes. He had attained the patriarchal age of 74, aud, notwith standing the events which have lately occurred in the world of commerce and industry, and which have been felt in the Rhenish country and West phalia as in other places, with his years his for, tune also increased. His personal property is es timated at about 30 millions of marks. Of course- this is only a rough estimate, as it is difficult to make a proper valuation of his share in the land ed property and estates belonging to the banking establishment, which has branches in many pla ces. The deceased was a great favorite of the Empress of Germany. Never has her Majesty passed Cologne without summoning him to her. Never was Baron Oppenheim iu Berlin without be ing received by the Empress, and very often by the Emperor. The Baron remained a Jew in reli gion all bis life, like his brother, the surviving senior partner of the firm, Baron Abraham having had no issue, his wife dying early, he adopted his niece, the Fraulein Springer, of Frankfort-on Maine, who was also the niece of Baron SpriDger of Vienna The mother of the Fraulein was a sister of Baron Oppenheim’s late wife. She, adopting the name of the Baroness Oppenheim, has, in the meantime, married the Councillor of Legation, Von Kusserow of Ber.in, and Will doubt less receive a good portion from the millions left by her adopted father, who, however leaves a widow, having married a second time. The de ceased suffered to a great extent from a painful disease, and during his last days it was resolved to call in a celebraled specialist, the English sur geon, Sir Henry Thompson. A telegram was sent to London. The reply came back that Sir. Henry Thompson was on a holiday tour in Italy. A telegram was then sent to his supposed place of residence in Italy. The answer was that Sir Henry was on his return journey to Vevey. A telegram was sent to Vevey. Sir Henry Thom son replied that, he was on a pleasure trip which he would not like to interrupt. If he attended the Baron he would have to ask an honorarium of £1,000. The answer was that the fee demanded was granted, nnd by the next traiu the eminent surgeon set rut for Cologne. He obtained his 20 000 marks for the interrupted pleasure trip, but was unable to restore his aged patient to con valescence. Speaking of the death of Baron Oppenheim, I am reminded of a little anecdote about his life. He had bought anl occupied a Beautiful estate on the Rhine. Bordering his land was a small es tate, the possessor of which imagined that the Baron would like to buy his estate likewise. The latter was not really indisposed to do so, but the price demanded corresponded rather with the for tune of Oppenheim Ilian with the value of the laud, aud therefore the negotiations were broken off. But the proprietor of the grouud hit upon an idea. He established a little tavern upon his estate with the sign of “In Abraham’s Lap.” The Baron did not much like this, and the negoti ations were resumed. The clever landowner ob tained his object, for Baron Oppenheim paid the sum demanded. I may mention that Baron von Oppenheim, who was also Privy Councillor of Commerce, was the first Jew who received a title of nobility in I’rus sia, and. what is more, the title of Baron from the present Emperor. Up to this time there was no precedent- f or the eunobling of an Israelite in Prussia, although in Austria Jews had received titles as far back as the time of Joseph II. King Frederick William IV. did not even confirm the titles conferred upon Prussian Jews by foreign sovereigns, and is said to have refused to assent to the proposal which had been made, that Meyer beer should be raised to the rank of a noble. The present Emperor and King has not only confirmed the nobiiiiy granted by foreign princes upon Prussian Jews, but has also, in some cases, grant ed the Prussian herediiary tille of nobility to members of the Jewish religion. The brother of the deceased Baron von Oppenheim received his titie of B ron from a foreign prince. King Fred erick William IV. ennobled several proselytes who had gone over from Judaism to Christianity, whereas under Frederick William III. only a sin gle case occurred (in 1810), viz., that of the bank er. Ferdinand Moritz Levi Delniir, and this was in consequence of an application of the Napoleon ic Government of that time. Delniar, a Berliner by birth, whose former name was Solomon Levi, died about 18 years ago in Paris, where he had lived for a long lime. He married a step daugh ter of Sir f yduey Smith. The funeral took place in the Jewish cemetery at Deiiz, near Coiogue, on the 14th inst Dense crowds assembled before the house of the de ceased, aud along the streets tluough which the long procession wended its way. The funerai w is attended by numerous representatives of cor porate bodies, and of every class and every call ing. The Jewish community, for whom the de ceased had at, his sole expense built the beautiful Synagogue in the Glockengasse, wa9 also largely represented. The Empress Augusta forwarded a wreath to be placed on the coffin. Tho widow has forwarded to the authorities at Cologne the sum of 25,000 marks to be distributed amongst the Christian poor of the town. She has also handed to the Jewish community 25 000 marks to be distributed in the following manner: 10.000 marks to the Hebrew Asylum for the Sick and Aged ; 10 000 marks to the different Jewish benevolent institutions, and 5,000 marks to the Jewish poor of Cologne.
