Testerdsy afternoon Mrs. Bischoffsber- ger and her brothcr-ln-law, Simon Strcntr, were arrested in Newark, charged with unlawfully depriving Mr. Biacboflsberirer or his liberty and attempting to defraud mm or nis property. The story Is told by one of Mr.

It is alleged, she was urged by Strents, Induced a physician to give a certibeate that her busbsnd waa insane. To this oertiflcato she procured, also, the signature of a drug clerk, who pretended to have a medical diploma, upon this document Mr.

Bi-sohoffsberger was hurried away to tbe asylum at Trenton, to which he was admitted by tbe Superintendent without any care-ful examination. Tbe -wife paid aix months' board in advance for her husband at the asylum. In the mean time some of her husband's friends became auspicious of tbe stories that had been given out relative to Mr. Bischofitbergers whereabouts, and instituted a search. Tbhy were unexpectedly aided by Dr.

Polhemua. who had siened the certificate of Insanity, and had fallen out wun sirs, uiscnoneoerger because she would not pay him a promised fee. They then took steps to release Mr. Biscboffs- berger from the asylum. Tbe alx months for which Mrs.

Biscboffsbereer had paid board having expired, the Superintendent of tha asylum auddenly disoovered that BischofTabertrer was not insane, and wrote to Mra. Bisi'hofleberger informing her of toe ittot, ana ordering nor to come snd take her husband away. Mrs. Bischofls-berger, instead of doing this, sent pay for lurou niunuis more to uie asyium, ana told tbs Superintendent to keep her husbsnd longer. At this point came tbe Interfer ence or Mr.

He waa called upon by a farmer to make a vott-mortem examination of a horse that had died auddenly, which was done, and it waa discovered that he died of glanders. The day waa excessively warm when the examination was had, and it ia supposed the Doctor, through the millions of pores oa hla body, expanded from the heat, absorbed the deadly virus from the animal. He was not affected immediately, but in time beeaa to feel tho effects of tbe poison In his system, which mcreaaea to sucn SB extent ust finally be was confined to his bed In the Washington House, where he remained during ail last winter, when la the early part of tbe aum-mer he rallied enough to permit him to walk out occasionally.

HIGH-SEA WEDDING. A Runaway Pair Married by a Juatioe of tha Feacs Three Marine Leagues From Shore.

Correspondence of the Sao Francisco Chronicle. Fitalcma, November 1, 1871. An Interesting habtai cste waa beard before Judge Overton In this city yesterday. Henry Balser, aged thirty-four years, a farmer, desired to marry Lizzie Bostan, a maiden of fifteen summers. Tbe girl was willing, but a cruel mother interposed an objection.

As it waa impossible to obtain a license, the aspiring bridegroom consulted one Joe Price, who suggested that a acbooner be char, tered to take the lovers and a Justice of the Peace three marine leagues from the shore. Once tbe high seas were reached the Justice could hitch them by virtue of hie office. 1 Balser immediately proceeded to carry out tbe stratagem. On October tbe party put to sea, wbere the eeremony was performed by J. M.

Hull, a newly-Hedged Juatioe of the Peace. Beturning to port the pair Lavs since lived together as man aud wife. All went well until about two months ago, when the girl's mother sued out a writ of torpus. As the marriage wss Illegally solemnized, Belter was compoiled to his ehlld-wifs into Court yesterday ana abide the ittues of the case. Tbe bride of two weeks manifested a decided repugnance to hermotrter, and appeared to be greatly devoted to her husband.

The evidence of tbe girl went to show that her mother. Mrs. Baker as she is now styled, was not of the purest character, aud, If the testimony of the child is to be believed, there are not many who would like to trust a child to tha guardianship of this woman. The evidence shows that tbe girl lived with her mother in San Francisco, and when the latter hsd occasion to go to Oregon, some four weeks since, she sent ber daughter to stay with Mrs. Haywood, who lives near Fort Boss.

While there Lizzie met Balser, and received from him sn offer of marriage, and embraced the opportunity to free herself from her mother's oontrol. A shrewd attempt was made yesterday morning by the defendant's attorney to outwit the other side by procuring some minuter of the Gospel to reperfbrm the ceremony, but the penalty of officiating In that manner without a license deterred each of the preachera from running the risks. The cause of this proceeding on the part of the mother is apparently inexplicable. Many suppose that it is simply spite, while others, and probably with more justice, say that a will made many years ago by the girl's father leaves her a considerable property, which during her minority may be handled by Mrs. Baker, but upon her marriage will vest in herself absolutely.

-TAR AND FEATHERS. Probable Tragic Sequel to aa Outrage on a Monomaniac IFrom the Nework Herald.) On the 4th Inst. C. H. Kelaey, a young-farmer of Huntington, L.

was tarred and feathered by several men for alleged Improper attentions to a Miss Julia Smith, who is possessed ot property valued at 130,000, willed to her by ber grandfather. It is said tnat Kelsey was very snnoying, going so far as to write Mint Smith im proper letters, which are ia posseision of ner counsel, ana mat ou one occasion ne entered her bed-room through a window by means of a ladder. Since tbe night of the occurrence Kelsey has not been seen, sod all efforts of his friends to discover his whereabouts have been unsuccessful. After being punished by his captors he wss furnished with an old blanket and led to the lower part of tbe village, wbere be waa permitted to go free. His brother says that he came home that night, as he -heard him enter the bouse and go up stairs to his room.

Oa the following morning, as Kelsey did not make his appearance at breakfast, his brother went to his room to csll blm, and was surprised to find that he was not there, and that his bed had not been disturbed. Up to that time the family were not aware of what had befallen him, and they were not made acquainted with the true condition of affairs until Wednesday, the 6th, when the search for him was instituted. On Saturday morning some boys on the beach at Lloyd's Neck found a bloody shirt, one boot, and two lemons. A. trail in the ssnd was also discovered, with here and thers spots of blood, as though body had been dragged along.

The shirt and boot wers taken to tbe village and identified a belonging to tbe missing man, and it was also ascertained that on the night of the 4th, at the request of his sitter, he bad purchased two lemons at tbe store of Mr. Eatoa. Another point of the testimony is furnished by Mrs. Fagan. a widow residing near the beach at Lloyd's Neck.

She says that on the Monday night la queation ahe distinctly heard some person on the beach shouting "Murder!" and "Help I help!" Kelsey is known to have had much money in hie possession, and his friends profess to believe that he has been murdered. They propose to have the harbor drsgged to-day. Others, however, believe that the bloody shirt and hoot ware lea npon tbe beach by the missing man to mislead his friends, and that be will bs heard from soon. Still others believe that, feeling keenly the dlsgrsce caat upon him he has committed euicide from shame and mortification. Tbe affair has crested the most intense excitement in Huntington, and if tbe missing roan should not bs heard from to-day, a reward will be offered by the authorities for his discovery.

An Albsny paper tells of a fashionable married lady who recently took a young niece from Troy out riding in her phaeton. It was the first time thst the lady bad attempted to drive out unscoompsnied by a male member of the family, or the coachman. Having been out several hours they begun to manifeat a desire for soms lunch. Tbey concluded, therefore, to stop at tbe first wayside inn and partake. They did stop at the first inn, put up the horse and phaeton under the shed and repslred to the bonse for refreshments, while thua engsged In tbe parlor of the estsbllthment, imagine tbelr surpriss on seeing tbe liege lord of the Isdy promenading through the ball-way with a flashy dsmsel on his arm.

Thia produced a anoemnf that can be readily surmised. Ths lady was thunder-struck. Recovering herself promptly she rushed forward to learn positively that she was not mistaken. Her worst suspi. clone wars confirmed.

The husbsnd fully realized the situation and left the premises hurriedly. The wife, npoa investlgstion, discovered that the place was one of questionable repute. Horrified at the Idea, wife and nieoe rushed from the place with wild exclamations, having scarcely touched the lunch whioh was ordered A DashijvO- and not wholly decorous young woman, who Is said to bs accomplished In music and acting, has been passing herself off at Omaha hotels ss Kose Hersee for several weeks past.

It would seem almost a fatality that Japan, with which we have such Interesting relstions, and for which our countrymen cherish such lively sympathy, should be eo soon Involved in a war which may test the value of international friend-ship.

But the Japanese are confident, and, with a fair share of what we can afford to call Yankee boattfulness, ex-press their determination to vindicate their ancient claim to the fealty of the Corea. Tbe original conquest of the country, it is clslmed by the Japanese, wae about 1,600 years ago, when the Empress Jingo-Kogo. st the bead of a considerable army, Invaded the Corea, subjugated the and laid them under tribute. This tribute was regularly paid for several centuries; but, Japan becoming involved in internecine wars, the Coreane took occasion to allow the payment to lapse; and many years passed without the sunual levy being exacted. When Taico 6ama, the lounder of the dual system of Imperial Government, and a warrior of renown, came to tbe Tyoonate in tbe sixteenth century, he demanded a renewal of the tribute from the C'oreans, and, on their refusal, invaded tbe country and brought them to terms.

The tax was paid until the downfall of the late Tycoon Chief of the Tokug-awaclnn; and when the Government, after a short struggle, was rehabilitated, and the present Emperor became firmly seated on tie throne, he sent word to the Corean Emperor that the annual tribute, payment of which bad been suspended, must be forthcoming with arrears. The Corean Government replied In these concise term "We have received your letter, and have lveu it very deep consideration, comiiar-rig your dispatch with other dispatches, it it a long time since there has been sny intercourse between the two countries. Your dispatch demands payment of trib ute. win snow now tuis anair siauus. Taico Sama, Knout provocation or cause of any kind, invaded Corea, and mads Corea sign a document agreeing to pay tribute.

In those days Corea was unprepared for war, and had not even been informed of the intention of Japan. But it is very dilfereut now. The invasion of isico was a crime committea against Corea bv Japan whicb Is not vet ptiniHhed Your demand is so unreasonable that, in stead of Corea paying you tribute, it is ror you to return the money paid by Corea." This waa turning the tablea on Japan; and as tribute hud been paid for about ten centuries, it will be seen that Corea has an enormous demana against japan to onset that for the tribute In arrears. It can hardly be expected, however, that Corea is in earnest in any thing further than a vigorous defense of the threatened invasion. Such a conflict would be further complicated by the attitude which China wouiu ne compeiiea to assume; ror unina, in Its turn, has held a loose sort of domination of the Corea.

When the famous Shaug dynasty was overthrown, B. C. MO, the Viscount Ke, a determined enemy of tbe Chew dynasty which suc ceeded to the crown, fled to the Cores, where he was afterward invested with the toverelgnty of tbe country by the reigning Emperor of China. In this charac teristically CaineBe manner the corea was annexed to the Celestial Empire, and a show of tributary dependeuoe was kept up until modern times. China can not be neutral in any war between Japan and a country wnicn has up to a very recent period acknowledged depencence on the Chinese Empire.

Corea has a population of 12,000,000, an army of 640,000 men, aud a navy of 200 vessels. But Japan, with a population four times as large, ana an inuuenae, well-drilled army, equipped with some of the modern improvements of warfare, mar well boast of beiug able to subdue ber semkbarbaric adversary. The contest must nceut oe largely naval; sua the world would have an opportunity to discover of how much practical value ber new fleet and armament really are to modern Japan. SEBASTOP0L. Ts be Reeonttrueted aa a Commercial Port-BaJaklava be theNara! Harbor.

A St. Petersburg letter says: "There is every reason to believe that Sebastopol is destined to a future not lets brilliant than wss the past of the ports in Tsurlda at the period of the commercial and maritime power of Genoa, and when tbe Crimea was the chief seat of the trade between Europe and India. You may remember that in November last the Emperor of Rutsia charged the Ministers of War, Finance, Interior, Public Works and Marine, to study, under tbe presidency of the Grand Duke Conitantlne, what should be done with the port. At the end of the winter plans for the reconstruction of Ssbsstopol bad been drawn up, and in the following summer a commission, at the head of which was Admiral Areas, of tbe Black Sea fleet, was sent to the Crimea to examine the question on the spot. Thst oody began by tsking the opinion of the inhabitants themselves.

The delegates of the city pronounced in favor of the establishment of a commercial port, and Instated es-peclslly on the necessity of in any case giving up the Southern Bay to merchant shipping. The port oi Sebastopol is in fsct situated 260 miles further south tnsn Odessa. It is also much nearer ths Dardanelles than the port ol Taganrog, which, beaide, presents great Inconveniences for loading and unloading vessels. Lastly, unlike Odessa and Taganrog, the harbor of Sebastopol is never- frozen over, and is accessible in all weather. A correspondent of tha fJnlnt wrftsa tn ho journal that the Commission presided over by' Admiral Areas has expressed an opinion that a military port would be better situated at Balaklava.

The fact Is incontestable, the laat Bustian war having demonstrated by the? presence of all the English fleet quietly anchored there the superiority of that harbor, from a military point of view. In any case, tha gueetion can not long remain undecided. In the mean-time, the work of the Bebastopol railway are being rapidly carried forward, and the construction of the arrival station has already been commenced." Mutton 1b Mid-Air.

During our civil war he held the rank of Colonel in the telegraph corps, and served on the staffs of tienerals Beauregard, Hood and Forrest, and also in the War Department as clerk under Breckinridge while Secretary of Mar. After the war he returned home and married one of the most beautiful and accomplished ladies in Jackson, with whom he lived but a short time, when he was arrested for robbing the Canal Bank of New Orleans of stki.uou. jio escaped ana nea uie country, going to Europe. While there be was arrested for swindling the Bank of England out ot 11000. which was settled by his friends, as was the Canal Bank robbery at New Orleans, lie, In connection witu the Reno boys of Indians, was one ot the parties who robbed the express company near Seymour, Indiana, in lttiri.

A gentleman who has just returned from Screven gives tbe following amusing ac count oi tne election ai tne jnooiey trona precinct, in that county, which, even in these serious times, will cause a smile to illumine the countenance of a straight-out. It appears that Jeff Brown, a negro, was commissioned by Stone, United States Commissioner, to act aa Supervisor. As It was one of the illegal precincts, it was necessary in order to carry out the Radical programme to wait until ten o'clock, but when that hour arrived the presiding Magistrate wae so overcome by old John Barleycorn that it wss Impossible for him to open the polls accord in a- to law.

In this emergency JeffBrown, the Supor- viaor, wno was anxious to curry out tne instructions of the Radical cabal, appealed to a gentleman, who was one of the freeholders, for advice. The gentleman advised him to form the voters in line and march them to the front in fives, according to the way they wanted to and tally the vote on a shingle by cutting a "notch" in it for each five. In thia manner each party was tallied on a separate shingle. At tne end there was an odd tile of three for Grant. Brown hereupon again appealed to Mr.

the freeholder, for advioe as to how to count tbe three. After some deliberation the odd count waa put down by cutting a tmall notch in the shingle, and the election closed. Provided with these undoubtedly illegal returns for the Mobley Pond Precinct, Supervisor Brown (colored) started with them to Savannah to deliver them to Stone. Laat night he was hunting about town with a Greeley and Bawls shingle under one arm aad a Grant and Sloan shingle with the "small notch" in it, under the other, inquiring the wsy to ths Customhouse. If these returns on shingles are not received, warrants should be Issued at onos for the arrest of every white man for a violation of the Enforcement Act, in fooling Republican voters of Screven County.
