THE NEGRO TINGE. I One of the most sensational and in- ■rcsting divorce suits ever enacted on R legal stage in this country will, at an Rdy day, engage the astute and shin- ng talent of the city of Baltimore.— I'he romantic details of this peculiar life drama will certainly cause the gos- ips, not only of this particular locality, tut of the entire United -States to wag their respective tongues with great ve- ocity, and to roll their individual eyes arnest amazement. The story ke a romance, but every word ue as gold. years ago, among the “young ”of Baltimore there was num- a young gentleman, who, by a binatlon of art and nature, id to a high seat in the arena lie was youthful, twenty- iars of age, handsome in face, ly ond dignified in form. He ippy possessor of $U)0,0i 0, ested in registered United ds, bequeathed to him by an mother. The young man v aristocratic and wealthy was extremely partial!• to her son's choice of a £r for life. right, frosty morning in tfce f January, 1877, the young fed a fashionable kid glove on Lexington street, city, for purchasing a No. 7 love,which was the size that snugly ncaacd his small and finely shaped and. There, to compress an individual orld into a sing.e word, he met his T he young saleslady who waited him was a beautiful brunette, with it. engaging mien. It was the old ever row story. When ho an nunced to his mother that he waa go gto marry this young lady, there was i total annihilation of domestic peace In the Mad son avenue mansion. As may be imagine I, the marriage caused serious disruption of family ties, but he young ludy behaved so wel ur the circumstances, she was so pret. d bewitching and kind in manner r mother-in law, that old lady at relented. Two years later the young couple were hapnUy keeping house m a luxu Tious manner, and the joyous pros pective young father was well known as a shrewd and energetic broker. At period of the young husband’s ex .sluice, he discovered that his wife was ing large amounts of money in a very sterious manner. He began to ex [hstulate with her. “Dear,” he kindly “I am wealthy, I know, but I stand these mysteilbus and 'ts.

She was a very bright >» the exact shade, as far as Ixion went, of an ordinary cream with a oouplo of tablespoonfuls of in its culinary make-up. She nost inordinate gambler, seemed completely carried away by the poa^n of chauoc, and. while a constant and heavy loser, was never short for more than a oouple of hours at a time, f- he actually appoared to own a gold mine. Where she got her money no ouo knew, and she never told anybody. But she had it, and that was all that was neoessury for the particular busi uess she was then engaged in. Ono fine day the young broker found himself the proud father of a repaired, [irnpled boy. Ho then did not t with^^^’ifo fo considered her extragant and use'ess expenditure of money, and supreme con tent an unalloyed happiness held high carnival within his castle walls. One morning when his cooing babe, now nearly two years old, sat up'>n its pa ternal grand-mother's knee, a colored servant brought, her a letter, fresh from the wiry man in modest gray. She opened it with a smile of peace, read it with a gasp of horror, and then, with one wild shriek of woe, she and the in fant simultaneously foil to the lloor.— The letter, written in an almost i’legi ble hand, and filled with an abundant amount of phonetic spelling, contained the following startling words: Your son’s wife is a nigger. He married a nigger. I am her grand mother, and I am what they ca 1 a mu latto. You would think she is white, like you white folks, but she ain't. If you don’t believe me, corns and see me. I send my address. A name, number and the name of a street were at tho bottom of the dyna mite haud-grenadc. Of course, when the old lady recovered from her swoon she refused to believe that the note con tained the truth. However, when the husband heard the contents, he imme diately began a strict investigation, and when the facts in the case became so convincing that the wife could deny no longer, his yoimg and charming brunette treasure, with tears of anguish in her beautiful dark eyes, confessed in her husband’s arms that colored blood did run in her veins. It seems that the old mulatto woman gambler was his wife’s grand-mother His wife's grand-father was a white man, and her parents were white, her mother having been more successful at deception in this line with her husband than the young wife had been with her young broker husband. The beautiful, brunette wife then certainly had a very slight negro element in her physical make-up. It appears that the old colored grand-mother had for years obtained hush money” from the young wife, which she had spent on her ruling pas sion-gambling. The old mulatto was the woman who had so amazed the fre quenters of the, low gambling hells of the city. When the young wife refus ed to give the old Moman money, she threatened towiite or tell the secret to the aristocratic mother in-law. At last the young wife, tired out an<t completely disheartened by the frequent demands made on her purse by the old female gambler, absolutely refused to give her any more substantial wealth, never even dreaming for a moment that at that late day the old woman would carry her vile threat into execution.— But in an evil hour, the old female gambler did so, with the dire results stated. As the young wife refuses to give up her hiftband, and as her attor ney, one of the leading lawyers of the city, declares that under the peculiar circumstances of the case, the marriage is legal, it is stated that the young bro ker, goaded on by his indignant mother, will institute a suit for divorce at an early day. In appearance, the unhap py wife resembles the average pretty American brunotte, and no one, not conversant with the facts as hero given, would suppose eveu for a moment that she had a slight mixture of colored blood in her veins. Philadelphia Press. Louise Montague, the 810,000 beau ty, was represented only by her coun sel yesterday morning in Judge Pierce’s court when the jury rendered their ver dict in her suit against Circus Manager Adam Forepaugh. In answer to the first question of the crier, the foreman replied that they had agree! upon a verdict, and futmd for the plaintiff.— Then the audience supposed that.it would be in order to congratulate Messrs. Havt rin and Shakespeare, but the uext word of the foreman caused the faces of these gentlemen to elongate several inches. “At wliat. do you assess the dama- Aiigusta, Soutlu 1 : n Headqu.iri/ rs I or Fine Dry Goods.

It is understood that six members of the jury were hard hearted enough to be in favor of refusing any damages at all to the lovely plaintiff, but the re mainder finally induced them to believe that she was entitled to the compensa tion which Forepaugh had contracted to pay her between the time of the con tract and the offer of 8200 a week from the rival manager, Coup, which she re- lused to accept because it involved her appearance in the ring. In this the ju y seemed to have thought that the adv was hypercritical. Her full claim wa- for 82.400. Of the several sui s which she brought against Forepaugh. one, that for the recovery of the 310.0( 0 premi um, offered for the ‘ loveliest lady in the land,’ was called for trial before Judge I Layer later in the day. Mr. Shakespeare asked for a continuance on the ground of the absence of a material witness, who was beyond the jurisdic tion of the court; but, when pressed, failed to. show that efforts had been made to secure the witness’ attendance, or that other le. at requirements had been complied with. Mr White urged that the ease should be proceeded with ; but rather than ?o on without the wit ness, Mr. Shakespeare suffered a non suit, reserving the right to bring his suit anew.
