tells of a fickle wife who left her husband in Providence and went to Hartford to live with an other man 'liriog of him this discon tented woman left her paramonr also and reported that fact to the Chief of Police in thie terse expression: left that man and there's trouble" The Courant says What that trouble was may here be stated It appears that her basband not knowing of her whereabouts had come to Hartford Bnd secured work in one of the machine shops here where- he met the very man who had ran away with his wife Instead of getting square upon his dignity or setting op a shooting gallery be treated the matter of seduction as being the business of his wife entirely who had a mind of her own and probably knew what she was about bat he desired some sort of settlement In fact he know bat she had been iim posed open and was willing to bs forgiven If it was so and she would come back and live with him again ha wanted to know it The other fellow who sympathized with him in his troubles as he ought to have done under the circum stances said that he bRd left the woman as they did not live happily together and if it wonld be any accommodation he would go aronnd with tke husband and call upon her and furthermore use his influence to bring about a reconciliation So much kindness volunteered at that nearly brought the husband to tears and be took the hand of the eloper and pressing it warmly gazed into his eyes affectionately as much as to say is too much Bit finally both started and sought the woman though instead of talking fairly with her it was proposed that of these two men who bad each been rejected she most choose one any way or she would be prosecuted for adultery Time was given her to consider this delightful proposition and meantime she visited the pefee headquarters and had the conference above referred to- Bomantle Law Salt About a Female Difficult Legal and Social Problem At a trial proceeding in New Orleans it has been developed that a Mrs Chris tina Chandler recently deceased had a natural child with one Newsom clerk in a grocery store tn-Vicksburg that Newsom tad promised to mafry her bat failed to do so The child was Henrietta Newsom and had been kept disguised in boy's clothes np to the time of General arrivsl who issued an order for a draft or conscription Atthattime Henrietta wag disgu sed as aforesaid and selling newspapers about the streets of Nsw Orleans Henry Webster testified that bs was a newsnaper carrier abont ten years ago for the New Orleans Timet that he was well acquainted with Henry Newsom who was at that time carrier for lie New Orleahs Crescent that Henry often came to his bouse and brought flowers to his daughter and that he never kneW him to be a girl After she resumed the appar! of her se her name was Henrietta Newsom He knows positively Hat she was the identical person called Henry Newsom In I860 or '61 she was sixteen or seventeen years old The only question id dispute Is whether she and a certain Eliza Hf nlerleiter are identically the same person This the attorney for Mr Barrett says hs is ready prove The next questioB and most difficult one to solve will be whether Henrietta wag lhg

MONROE A Novel Gamblla Exploit From the Cineinnati Times The following queer story which shows the passion of tbe inveterate gamester is told as the recent exploit of a knight of the green cloth in this city by an eye witness A young g8ntlemaa of this city some eighteen months ago inherited a handsome piece of properly all of which he has squandered at the gaming table One evening last week his last dollar disappeared in addition to which he staked bis coat hat and pantaloons all of which he lost As his going home in a state bordering upon nudily might involve his arrest by the night police a servant of the gambling house loaned him an empty barrel the head of which he knocked cut aud doonirg It after the fashion of an overcoat he trotted hime unmolested It is said that the severe lesson has induced him to foreswear gambling and that his fritnds will en deavor to repair his fallen fortunes A Kara Nearly Kill aa Old Lady On Sunday afternoon last at Grand ver Canada while three officers from the propellers Missouri and Olean were going to churoh they discovered a ram butting an old lady in a field at a short distance off On approaching the helpless woman the officers found her to be in an almost insensible state having been knocked down and then butted ebout the head and body several times The desperate monster seemed bent on killing his victim and it was with great difficulty that he was driven off The officers kindly eonveysd the poor woman to her home Siewag about eighty years of age MDe Lesseps of Suez Canal celebrity has just takeD to himself in Egypt a young bride Letters from that country state that the bride is a beautiful creole tweoiy-two years of age The distinguished hridegroom is sixty-four but his years ait very lightly upon him and that his energies are iu do wise impaired by sge is testified by thennfl-iggtagtenaoity with which ha pursued the great purpose of his life that of connecting the Mediterranean with the Red Ses Ia flis previous marriage this being ha second one De Lesseps was peculiarly happy his wife having been a woman of remarkable amiability and force of char-atef Thia as a French paper remarks "inspired him with faith

for the medical profession The scholarships can be held for three years and are to be awarded according to the result of competitive examination the first of which is to be held in June 1870 Tbe Orlaanlsta It has been mentioned that in the late political agitations in Paris the Qrlean-iets showed some activity It can hardly be supposed from the small favor showu to that parly io the late French elections that they are likely ts exert mnch influence in France except as they may combine witb other factions for the overthrow of the imperial dynasty The house of Orleans never had mnch hold On public consideration in France Lonis Philippe was an exemplary man in his personal character and domestic and social relations but his accession to the throne was the work of clique of politicians and not in any sense of the people and though he was prudent and conciliatory in the exercise of power there was nothing in his antecedents or character to awaken popular enthusiasm His throne stood upon French soil but took no root iu it and when the gust of revolution came it fell without any capacity of resistance Toere is no pres tig in his name to awakon the impulses of Frenchmen in behalf of the restoration of his dynasty Hitherto his sons have made no effort and indicated no purpose of asserting their pretensions to the French throne They have been living quietly in other countries for many years and mast now be too old to be easily induced to embark in doubtful and flegnerate enterprises Those of the family who still survive in England and elsewoere have commanded Universal respect in the lands of their exile by the parity and nnobtrusiveness of their lives as well as by their refinement and intelligence It cannot fail to have been remarked that while Napoleon when an exile made repeated attempts to dispossess Louis Philippe of the French throne none of Loots Philippe's descendants flqve ever made similar attempts sgainst the French Esperor In this connection it is not creditable to the nperor of the French that while extending amnesty to almost all his political enemies be has act embraced the housd of Orleans in bis executive clemency It can scarcely be doubted from their deportment iu exile that they mighf have been permitted to return to France without danger to SBy public interest Tae apt would have been grateful as well as graceful for Louis Napoleon must remember bow much he was himself indebted to the clemency of Louis Philipps when he hsd exposed himself by plottings against his government to extreme punishment STREET tt 9 9
