Divorce Cuntplrorlo.
There are ia the legal profession men
who are not only will n- to conduct a
divorce suit for a husband or wife who
has been wronged, and has knowledge
and proof of Ihe wrong done, hilt who on
thegencinl complaint of a client desiring
to get rid of a husband nr wife will en
trap the opposite party iuto the appear
ance of udulterv, or manufacture evi
dence to make iut a case. A suit for
divorce has recently come to a close in
one of the cities iii the interior of the
State, in which the whole proceeding was
based on the action of the lawyer em
ployed by the suspicions wife, and not
upon any grounds which she could give
for her suspicions. She simply went to
this professional gentleman, and, whether
actuated by jealousy or a worse motive,
expressed a desire for a divorce, at once
instituted an action alleging adultery, and
undertook to discover the ciime and prove
it, adopting the most unique method of
procedure. He went about the town to
all the houses of ill-fame, in which he had
an extensive acquaintance, and exhibited
a picture of bis client’s husband, asking
the inmates of these places if they bid
ever seen such a man. One of the girls
thought she recognized the photograph
as that of a person who had once visited
her, and on tlje strength of her vague im
impression u respectable man was charged
with a vile sin, and a conspiracy was set
on foot to ruin his reputation, break up
household and deprive him of the control
of his children. Fortunately, the accused
was confined to his own room withs se
rious illness at the time when the offense
on which the suit for divorce was
brought was said to have been commit
ted. Fortunately, too, the girl who
thought she recognized the picture was
honest enough te recant iter accusation
when she saw face to face the person
whom she had accused, and realized the
harm she had done to an innocent man.
The plot failed after a bitter legal con
troversy, humiliating even to the victor.
The conspiracy for which William 11.
Gale, of this city, was thrown over the
bar on Monday, was even more disgrace
ful in all its details, and it is to be hoped
that all lawyers who are tempted to a dis
honorable course will ponder over the
grave censure which the judges heaped
upon him in pronouncing their decree,
liis client desired a divorce from an inno
cent wife, and Gale undertook to manage
the affair. The woman supposed that an
amicable separation might be arranged,
and accepted Gale’s advice in regard to
the preliminary steps to be taken to bring
about such a settlement of her matrimo
nial troubles. She accompanied him to
the Grand Union Hotel, on her way to
New Jersey, where he had persuaded her
that she would have to acxuire a resi
dence. They occupied a private parlor
together, and he detained her by one ex
cuse or another until it was late at night,
then locked the door and retired to the
adjoining bed-room, leaving the miserable
woman a prisoner with strong circum
stantial evnlenee of adultry against her;
for he had registered her name with his
own, and only required the testimony of
the hotel clerk to make out a case against
her. Ills plot succeeded for a time and he
got the decree of divorce, for the unhappy
wife was not aware until after it was
granted that it had been procured at the
expense of her honor. The suit was one
of those quiet little affairs decided by ref
erence, in which the accused party fails to
make an appearance, and his or her guilt
is assumed as a matter of course. The
story of such a piece of pertldy reminds
one of the dark machinations by which
the heroines old-fashioned novels were
sometimes entrapped into ruin, or sug
gests some historic instances in which the
wives of kings or noblemen who had syc
ophants and perjurers at command, were
made the victims of foul plots. When
we hear of schemes of this kind in our
day we no longer wonder at the death of
Anne Boleyn or the curious slanders set
afloat to destroy Anne Hyde.
Less Cotton and Moke “Hogs and
Hominy.” —Two years ago less cotton
was planted in this section than previous
years; and last year the crop was still
light, while the acreage planted in both
crops was greatly increased. The results
are already fell" and realized. Almost
every farmer in the country lias enough
corn, hogs, wheat, cattle, potatoes, mo
lasses, etc., to supyly him while making
the present year’s crop, and may have
plenty of these articles to spare, and are
obtaining money enough from the sale ol
the same to clothe their families. Money
is scarcer with us than ever known be
fore, yet the farmers are in a better con
dition than in uny previous year since the
war. It is true, they have no money,
and cannot pay their debts, hut they will
not have to go in debt this year ami
spend their crop in advance to make it,
as they have done heretofore. And if the
policy partially adopted two years ago,
he continued, if farmers will first raise
what they need for home consumption,
and put the baiance of their spare time
and land m cotton, they will soon be
the most prosperous of any class of our
citizens, as of right they ought to be.—

Looking tor Simpson.
From the Jersey City Journal.]
She was a tall gaunt woman, and from
the country, for she carried a large cot
ton umbrella in one hand, and a well-worn
bulky carpet-hag in the other. She was
marching in and out and around the Erie
depot at Long Lock in a way that caused
Officer Briggs to wonder who or what she
was looking for.
“Were looking for someone ?” he ask
ed.
“It’e none of your affairs, mister, who
I’m looking for. Who be you that you
must know other folk’s business.”
*T’m an officer of the Erie ltoad, ma
’am.”
"Oh you he. Well, then, I’m from
Parsippauy, in Morris County, and I’ve
come down berejust to put my hands
onto ainan by the name of Simpson. Do
you know Simpson? He’s slick-looking,
and talks the nicest you ever heard. lie
was a Baptist up there; as like as not be
ain’t nothing down here. Do you know
Simpson?”
“No, ma’am, I don’t know any such
man.”
“That’s just what I expected to hear.
The next thing will be that he is a mar
ried man, or mebbe that he ain't Simpson
stall. But if I get my hands onto that
Simpson once. I’ll Simpson him.”
“What’s he been doing?”
“He’s been doing lots that’s mean for a
man to do. He pretended like he wanted
to marry me, and kept it up till everything
- was ready, and then after the last minute
Simpson wa’n’t ready. I’m mad, mister,
and if I had him, I’d Simpson him.
“Doyou think he is here at this depot?’
“That’s what I’d like to know, for he’s
a man that travels. If I lay my hands
onto him, he’ll travel back toPassippany,
or I’ll know the reason why.”
“Find him, mister? I’m obleeged to
find him. Didn’t I sell a cow and calf,
und the only decent shoat on the place,
just to buy a nice dress and button-shoes,
so as I could look as fine as any woman
ever in York when she’s agoing to be
married? Do you think I’m going back
home now without him—me, a widder—
and everybody laughing? No, sir; I'm
ngeing to find Simpson.” And she
matched on through the depot giving
every convenient plank in the floor a
sharp punch wiih her umbrella as she
muttered "That Simpson!”

This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing

[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which lias removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing aud preventing dandruff and
ail unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
