MR. CHRISTI ANCY AND christiancy. Washington Co/. Chicago Times The old gentleman has gone on working his wav through the devious courses of a divorce court, struggling hard to secure legal separation, A few days ago bis .principal, .counsel became insaitr.- The CbftstlattSTcase was too much for him. A few days later Mrs. Christiancy withdrew her cross bill containing the charges of cruelty which she had heaped up against this good old tnan. It is'now known hat this withdrawal upon the part of Christiancy was in itself a cunning sbq) to again capture the ancient Christiancy an l win a sub- btantial victory, ith the withdrawal of the cross bill the ancient Chris- tiancy congratulated himsdf upon the fact that now a divorce was possible, and that he might be able to resume his position as a gallant single Tnan in gay Washington society. He has walked around tee corridors in the capitol with his friends, chu kling over liia approaching freedom from thu expenses and annoyances of his d voice^uit, until he has become one of t e stock characters of the capitol. Mil Lin the last three or four days it is said that Mrs Christiancy has been writ ng notes to the old gentleman as/ring him to condone Iter several hundred offenses, and to re unite with her, to begin their conjugal life over again. 7’lie old gentleman has been immensely flattered by the touching appeals sent to him by the contrite Lilian, He has probably thought it all over, and realizing what a prize he is and bow broken-hearted Mrs. Christiancy will be to lose him. lie has probably made up his mind to do what is called the magnanimous act. For the last t hree or four days he has been s en hovering about in front of the house where his auburn- haired wife £eeps herself concealed h is said that the old gentleman has oven walked up and down in trout of the house of evenings, gazing at her shadow as it was reflected upon the closely drawn curtain 0 . It is not believed, however, that he lias at any time attempted to thrum the guitar under her window, after the Spanish fashion, Tu is morning, however, the whole affair culminated. Jt was a touching picture. Ihe wea- ry, worn stutesmau, the dilapidated diplomatist, the ancient ex suprenn Justice, was seen walking his daily beat across Indiana avenue, opposite the Lugenbeel house, When he arrived opposite he stopped, aud. slouching bis soft gray hat over his dark eyes, he glared with the fierce look of a hungry manat the closed frontdoor. His ardent gaae appeared to have its effect on the door. It flew open, and Lilian Christiancy stood revealed. Everything pro needed then as it does on the stage, fcdic waved her white hand, holding a letter toward her estranged husband, nn j beckon M The ancient shook his head ; he wouldn't have it. '-gain she b ckoncd. ysterious attraction made the old gentleman s feet move in the direction of the house, lie walked slowly, keeping time to the measure of her eager beckoning As h ' approached the house he began t • go faster, and by the time the bro*vn st<u e porch was reached this wronged husband was out of breath and panting. ‘JFon't you come in?* said Mrs. Christiancy. ‘1 have a letter which I was just going to send you. It will be so much nicer if you come in and read it.’ The leather colored face of the ancient suffused with a dark flush. y\ hether it was with indignation or pleasure it was hard to tell, ' -e tried to look stern. He tried to say, •yvoiuau, wuut will you have of tne?’ J/rs. Christiancy put one soft hand upon bis, and ha melted. He went into the house. The door was closed What followed is not known. The gossiping neighbors said that the contrite wife put her auburn head upon the shirt front of the cx-judg? and wept and sobbed, declaring that she would not leave that place until he forgave her, and it is further said by the same veracious neighbors that he did then and there forgive her At least he remained in the house some time, and when he came out he looked smiling and happy for the first time since his troubles in Lima, Peru. wasaUlTe ^*nalf’ window!^kissing tuniino^bacA- ^His^ife be/ Jiand rOCCOA NEWS By Edw--SCHAEFER- j.

The old gentleman has made the mistake of resuming the acquaintance of his interesting wife and it is prob- able that fighting will be postponed for at leant the next six weeks, Senator Christiancy this evening said to a reporter who called on him to a-k about the dramatic interview m-h hisI Wife this morning, that the report that they were reconciled was untrue. His wife did call him over to the house. She made appeals to him for reconciliation, but be has declined to accept the offer, and will to morrow morning file another bill asking for a divorce on the ground of desertion It appears that some of Oiiristianey's friends got after him this evening, and suggested to him that lie was making himself ridicu¬ lous by allowing himself to be hood¬ winked into resuming his old relations with his wife, and the result of it is that lie is braced up for another campaign in the courts. _____- igjl]i Q) fipn --—— MRS. SCOVILLE’S OFFER. READY TO SELL QUITEAU S BODY TO T1IE HIGHEST bidder for cash. Chicago Special to Philadelphia Press. Mrs. Scoville has sent the following letter to Washington : Sheldon House, Chicago, Tidy 8 . Rev. Dr. Hicks: Dear Sir —/hear horrible reports as to the disposal of my poor brother’s holy. I understand it was to be left quietly where it was buried until it should be thought safe for us to remove it to a suitable place for interment. Tlie paper which 1 signed said that wc should have the privilege removing the body whenever wi j Js i re d to do so. That contract has been violated by the le.noval of the body to the museum without ruy per mission. I for one, care mostdteid as to everything connected with j )() q Vj pis life, and his memory. I . arc nothing for the doctors* quarrel - t ; rtopgy. Dr. Lamb’s is n le ;U report conclusive evidence of his insanity, but aside from that I can if neces- sary, call a witness who saw the autopsy and will tell the truth, and who says there is not the shadow of a doubt of Guiteau’s insanity, as proved bv what he saw at the autopsy. Of course such e idence destroys the will, the donation of the body, the boo£, copyright and all. I think 1 understood why the copyright was wanted? Why notes of his last hours and sayings were wanted? Why the story of the poisoned pellets and the poisoned bouquet were started Some people wiU.think the Guiteau business is ended, but as the shout went up from the crowd as the signal announced that Charles Guiteau wa- hanging in mid air, J said ttieGuit- cau business had The stalwarts have put their foot in it. Why? Because many people believe that every official from the president down Anew lie was as crazy as a ioon. It would have been cheap- er for the stalwarts to have taken care of Guiteau. Their purpose, as l understand it, was to allay suspicion o{ - unv complicity anywhere in the ulur der of oarfield. How have they succeeded? The Gourse they have taken has been the very one to arouse SUS pi c iou. ]$ OVV! Dr. Hicks, I appeal to you to take such a course as will protect the President, and through him the stalwarts from any suspicion in the f ulu re. I should be very sorry to p ave the Republican party wrecked by a suspicion.

MALLEY—CRAMER. WIIAT BOTH FAMILIES SAY OF THE RESULT OF THE TRIAL. New Haven July 1.—I learn from other sources that James Malley contemplates a trip to Saratoga for a week or two, and thence to \\ ilkes- barre, to visit I)r. O'Malley, who stood by him with encouragement and money. James, it should be remembered, is only a cousin ol Walter, and has loss means. Mr. Edward dial Icy pan! the bills for both the boys, as the father of James lacked the ability. MRS. CRAMER SPEAKS. Mrs Cramer, mother of the unfor- tun ate girl, was interviewed this morning. She expressed no surprise at the result of the trial, and assert- ed that it had all through been her belief that the prosecution would fail through lack of evidence, insisted that Blanche Douglass knew the secret of Jennie’s last hours, and derided the idea of suicide, ‘ V\ hy kuowing my daughter as 1 did, 1 know if she intended to take her life she would do it at home among her friends, and not go off down there to Savin Rock * Mrs. Cramer was very angry with Lawyer Jones for his criticism on her, that she unwisely allowed Jennie to run at large, and to dress so as to attract the attention of young men. ‘AZr. Jones was very wrong when he said I allowed her to go that way. If I was a man I wouldn't let Mr. Jones get out of town before 1 horsewhipped him.’ BLANCHE DOUGLASS MOVEMENTS. Blanche Douglass has left town. She remained at the jail until noon and refused to see parties who had interested themselves to find a re¬ sponsible home for her. This after- noon she drove to West Haven, obtained some articles belonging to her, and, it is ascertained, left for New Y'or/r on the afternoon train The report is that she will find a temporary home with friends living on a small place some distance outside of New York, Has she relatives? Yes ; two. ller step father picks up a precarious living selling peanuts in the streets of New Yore. Her husband, Zimmerman, she has not heard from since before the trial, Then he came to New Haven, borrowed some money from her, and was next seen peddling her photo- graphs on a New Haven corner. The borrowed money has not been return- ed. One of Blanche's counsel said to the Herald represantative yester- day: ‘Ifever there was a woman absolutely homeless and friend- less in the world, it is Blanche Doug- lass. It would be Christian charity for soma good people to take her in She is a kind hearted girl is fitted for a better life than the streets of Aew York. Return to her ways ! Never, sir, unless after the hardest struggle for an honest living.’ ROSCOE CONKLING. First Appearance in Public Since I lls Resignation from the Sen¬ ate - Response to a Serenade in Utica. UticAi July 12 .—Mr.. Fjncke and Gentlemen : An act of courtesy so kin( , am , flatteri M this would be teflll indee(1 at any time . It is doubly grateful now, because wholly unexpected . Coming home af.er months of absence , j feU sure of a friendly grasp from man}’ hands, but nothing could have been more unlooked for than proof so great and so ^ U)at yon gtm keep for me a place on the roll of kindly remembered names, [Applause.] Twenty two years ago Oneida county trusted to me the honor of repre- seating her ui the , councils .. of . the , Nation. For years afterward some humble part fell to me m public and political a Pairs.. In any oi k lose years had this visit . been paid, had 14 been explained in words so eloquent so cordial as those wo me heard, still it would have signified but little personally. It would have been rather the expression of potiti- cal of-party sentiment. Now you come with greeting to one wholly unconnected with public or official transactions. You come with a warm welcome to a private citizen, having no claim to your regard, except in warm and abiding attachment to your interests and your [applause,] except his attachment to our beautiful city and to the neighbors and friends to whom for long, long years he has owed so much. Under ^ cg2 circumstances } T ou will let me jj^ieve, without other thought, that y OUl . presence here means the person- ^ kindness of valued neighbors and va j ue q friends, [Applause.] It could mean nothing which would be pr j zef i so mv. eh, nothing which could bo held in memory so long and so pleasantly. For 36 years some of those i see around me, both by my side and in front, have found, as during all those years I have found, in Utica a home; and remembering all those years, there has been, and still there is, “noplace like home.” [Applause.] But those 35 years have seen saddening changes. Time, with his fros’.y fingers, has silvered many a brow and the turf and the snows have hidden all but the mem- ory of many a friend who once bravely and gayly trod with us the pathway of life* Thriving of those who are gone makes me feel that it is well for those who are left that we gather together sometimes without party, as was said by my friend, without faction, without acrimony, but in unity to draw one near to another and strengthen and brighten the links of that chain which binds us together. Indeed there is much in the present condition of the country to make men think together, act together, feel together as to general and public matters, to bring men toward each other who have thought apart in the years and the days that are gone- The old party issues have largely passed away - passed away, at least, as dividing party lines We are in a period of peace and great prosperi- ty, but let us not forget that pro 3 - perity often tests and trie3 tae wis- dom of nations and of men more than adversity. The tendency is spending largely, the tendency Governmant is to profuse, { TEEMS—$1 50 A YEAE, NO. lavish, appropriations of the public money. In the affairs of Government and in the affairs of business, unless 1 greatly mis' ake the lesson, the need, and the admonition of the hour is frugality, foresight, and care- We have more need of the brake than of steam in a good many ways just now. [Applause.] CAUSES OF THE WAR- Cartcrsvillc American. It may be of interest to recount briefly the events leading to the im¬ pending Egyptian war. In 1876 the Egyptian government was in an alarming condition financially, and the then Khedive, Jamail Pasha, was ruling the country with a high hand and squandering money in the most reckless fashion. The interests of bond holders were seriously threat¬ ened, and England and France had reasou to believe that their suprema. cy over the Suez Canal was in peril Those two powers decided upon in tervention. They informed Ismail Pasha in very positive terms that he must reform his government. Ho promised to do so, but his promise proved to be empty words. He con¬ tinued to manage affairs in the old despotic way. Finally, in 1879, the KUe(Jive wa3 force<1 to abdicate in ^ of hu nephew> Tewflk Pasha, vvtlo llas administered the government under the supervision of England and France, with Germany, Austria d behin( , them . In tbu ra nnement England and France are represented each by a Minister, in¬ vested with full authority to inquire into the public service, including the public debt* They prepare the Budget. There is also a Commission of Liquidation, to look after the national finances. One result of English and French rule is that thousands of foreigners have been appointed to office, and are drawing annually an enormous sum in the way of salaries, estimated at about $2,500,000. This is the ‘status quo’ which /Raoi Bey has been seeking to dis¬ turb. Arabi Bey, the .Minister of War, is in favor of a constitutional government. He lias of iate organ ized what is called the National party, which includes the Egyptian army and a considerable portion of the population. This party would rid the government of all foreigners and foreign influences. ‘Egypt for the Egyptians’ is the cry of Arabi and his followers. The first act ol the Ministry (which came in a few months ago), with Arabi Bey as minister of War, was to place the budget in the hands of the Chamber of Notables, a body nominated by local officers and chosen from the prominent native Egyptians. This body is wholly subservient to Arab Bey, and will do his bidding. With the budget and the army under his control, he is in the position of a dictator. The Khedive has protested against these proceedings, but he is powerless' England and France* having much at stake, cannot affprd to let the national party take the effairs of Egypt into its own hands bv usurpation and military force, especially when their control of the Suez Canal, the great artery of east- ern commerce is threatened. Hence, they have determined to crush Arabi and his army and maintain the ‘status quo.’ A MISSINgTpRINCE, Philadelphia Record. Quite a flutter has been caused in the circles of high society by the welding of Miss Allie Bouvier with the Prince Vallerie. The lady is known, and comes from an Philadelphia ' * family. 'a Her sister wife . of Lanker i j Fred ? Drexel, ta As a o the story goes, while Mis 3 Bouvier was traveling abroad a short time since, she met the Prince, who was ing in his manners, and is said to be of the Italian branch-of the Legiti¬ mists, liis mother being" a Bourbon. The Prince and Miss Bouvier met each other frequently, and finally it was decided they should get married. Then the trouble began. The Prince did not desire to get married ia France because of the troubles with the law’, but was willing to come to America for the wedding, so it was decided that the ceremony should take place in this eity. The fact that the wedding was to occur in this city caused considerable talk in society circles, aud the young lady was con¬ gratulated upon all hands for her good fortune in having captured a real live Prince. The most elaborate preparations were made for the event, and the invitations were prepared. The Prince promised when he left his inamorata in Paris to follow her to the United States as soon as he settled up some small business matters. .ds the day for his arrival approached there was considerable of a sensation in high society because of the anxiety of the young ladies to catch a glimpse of the Prince. A relative went to New York, hut the Prince failed to arrive on the steamer. Letters and telegrams failed to reach him, and nothing has been learned of the whereabouts of the Bourbon since. The wedding has been consequently postponed until the Prince is found, and Me. Dickson, a relative of the young lady, has been dispatched to Paris to clear up the my 3 tery, and, if possible, find the Prince. The family and friends of the lady believe that some accident has happened to the fiance, and until apprised otherwise they will be loth to believe anything else. HOW A QUAKER PUNISHED A THIEF. A Quaker, having been disturbed by footsteps around his dwelling one night, arose from his bed and cau- tiousl}’ opened the bac& door to reconnoitcr. Close by was an out¬ house, and under it a cellar, near a window of which was a man busily engaged in receiving the contents of his pork barrel from another in the cellar. The Quaker approached, and the man on the outside fled. He stepped up to the cellar window and received the pork from the thief within, who after a little time, asked his supposed accomplice in a whisper : ‘Shall we take it all?* The owner of the pork said softly. ‘Yes, take it alland the thief handed up the balance through the window and then came up himself. Imagine his consternation when* instead of greeting his companion iu crime, he confronted the Quaker. Both were astonished, for the thief proved to be a near neighbor, of whom none would have suspected such conduct. He pleaded for mercy, begged him not to expose him, spoke of the necessities of poverty, and promised faithfully pot to steal again. ‘if thou hadsfc asked me for meat, jt would have been given thee. I pity thy poverty and thy weakness an d esteem thy family. Thou art forgiven.’ The thief was greatly rejoiced, and was about to depart, when the Quaker sa id, ‘Take the pork, neighbor.* ‘No, no,’ said the thief. ‘I don’t want the porA:.’ ‘Thy necessity was so great that it led thee to steal. One half of the porA: thou must take with thee.’ The thief insisted that he could neV er eat a morsel of it. The thought 0 f the crime would make it choke him. jq e begged the privilege of letting it a ionc. But the Quaker was inflexi- ble, an d furnished the man with a bag, p U t half the porA: therein and laying it upon his back, sent him, borne with it. He met his neighbor daily for several years afterward, their families visited together, but the matter was kept a secret, and though in after years the circumstance was mentioned the name of the delinquent was never made A:nown. The punishment was severe and effectual, It probably was his first—it certainly was hi3 last—attempt to steal. Had the man been arraigned before a court of justice aud imprisoned for the petty theft, how different might liaye been the result: His family disgraced, their peace destroyed, the man s character ruined and bis spirit broken.
