A Champion 1 Talker Discovered
[si.rau. ri*
Between 10 and 11 o’clock yesterday
morning police headquarters a lady from Ireland the called at
for purpose of
explaining culties between the nature of certain diili
her husband and herself
to Chief Munger. That officer was
found on deck alone, and it soon became
evident to the most casual observer that
a great affliction was suspended over his
devoted head. The lady’s conversational
apparatus was in splendid order and
capable of doing deadly execution at a
distance of 600 yards. The chief invited
her to a seat in his private office, took a
chair directly opposite his voluble guest,
and after ev. ry thing had been appropri
ately adjusted the head-gates of silence
were removed, and then came a volume
of words, the like of which has never
been known since the last Donnelly
campaign. The language flowed inces
santly fora couple of hours at the rate
of 400 gallons per minute. The chief
turned ]i«le at the end of sixty minutes,
as he was entirely unable to comprehend
all the words poured into him, and in
one hour and fifteen minutes he was too
weak to make his voice heard through
the telephone in response to inquiries
concerning the condition of his health
and mental faculties,
When t lie two hours had expired, and
the painful story of domestic unhappi
tiess had been about half told, the poor
man found himself too weak to speak
above a whisper or stand alone, and he
was driven home in a hack. He will
recover if he can secure three days of
perfect quiet and repose!
A Mania for tills Sort of Thing.
'
Manere, Mass., is excited over an «f
f a j r which well ii'gh became'a tragedv.
A young man had abandoned a lady to
whom he had made promise of marriage,
but she armed herself with a revolver
and sought him for satisfaction. “Why.”
said he, “what brings you here?” “Weil,
J’f'«Come,” said sh-, “to bring you
good news.” “ What is it?” said he, at
the Hamu t,me reaching out Its right
hand to shake hers, when she extended
her left, the right being in her pocket
grasping the revolver. Bhe then asked
him to bend his bead down, as she
wished to whisper in his ear. As he did
so, she, like a flash, drew the revolver,
and, placing it at his head, snapped the
hammer down. The astonished man
was t .o quick for l er, however. He
j grasped the revolver and, instead just as the hammer
| came down, of striki- g the
, cap, it came down upon his hand, be
| tween the thumb and forefinger. Tak-
1 ing the revolver away from her, he soon
1 had-her under control. He procured g
| , horse and vehicle and took her to her
home, where the whole story was related
to the mother and father of the voting
lady. Both parties move io good society

There was a penetrating suavity in her
kindness which never flagged, and the
delicacy the durability of ber tact was only equaled by
of her fine sentiments,
Under every rraime she had tried to serve
the vanquished, and she had never
flattered the victors. She was faithful
to her friends to the Point of enduring
exile for their sake. The First Napoleon
banished her. When his nephew, after
ward the Third Napoleon, was a pris
oner, she visited him at the Con
ciergene. When M. de Lomenie made
her acquaintance she was spending
what remained of her life in trying to
console and amuse M. de Chateaubriand,
who was sad, old and sickly. From the
greatest opulence she had fallen into
narrow means without ceasing to smile;
and this smile sufficed to retain and at,
tract the elite of polished society. To see
her once begot the desire to see her con
stantly. Humanity is not so gross or
ignorant as we arc prone to think. A
secret instinct draws it toward ideal be¬
ings, and when they are discovered, the
world falls on its knees before them.
Politicians were surprised to find that
they forgot their ambition iu the pres¬
ence of Mmc, de Recainier, and literary
men to feel that in coming into her
presence their vanity subsided. Abnega¬
tion was no longer hard to practice. The
business man ceast d to be hard, and he
felt stirring in his breast the germs of
poetic tenderness and chivalrous devo¬
tion.”
Indiscretions of n Russian Countess.
[London Title#ruin to the Herald.]
The UeruUht ,St. PeJe/shurg correspond
ent teiegraphs the reasons which led to
the banishment of Countess Hendrikofl.
This lady, the wife of one of the masters
of ceremonies at the Imperial Court, was
recently “administratively” hurried
across the frontier without a moment’s
warning. 'Ibis measure excited DO
little surprise at the lime. 'Hie Coun¬
tess was well known in 8t. Petersburg
society, especially for her off-hand man¬
ner and free speech, and it was sus¬
pressing pected that she had been guilty of ex¬
herself too freely on affairs con¬
nected with the Imperial household.
It now appears that ihe Countess did
express herselt to the effect that in case
the Em press should die the Emperor
would in all probability marry the
Princess Dolgorouki. This remark
havintr been reported to the Czar, he at
once ordered the Countess to leave the

Sulkiness as an Accomplishment.
The capacity for steady, solid, concen¬

him who posses-es it; it implies many
curious and varied accomplishments
and gifts, among others, that of the com¬
plete mastery ot five senses. It is for a

Death to (lie Trees.
Don Piatt says “the Western mind has
been trained through generations to an
intense hatred of trees and Indians.
The instinctive impulse is to kill both,
and such has been the destruction of
forests that, in time, the valley of the
Mississippi and will be a howling desert of
siiml grasshoppers.’'
Though there expressed with the Don’s usual
latitude, is t- o much truth in the
assertion that the Western people take a
wanton delight in destroying trees It
is land a propensity shared by his brother
owners of the South. They take
not the slightest pride in the fine trees
that adorn their lands, nor do they seem
to comprehend point how valuable, even in a
money of view, may soon be the
magnificent ruthlessly old oaks and pines that they
so cut down or “girdle” with
duced the deadly keep ax. They can hardly be in¬
to a few trees of the fine
native growth around tlieir dwellings,
but cut them down, leaving often UII
sightly insignificant stumps, and plant instead the
more so-called ornamental
trees, or else leave the yard bare to be
baked by the sun or to grow up in
weeds.
