New MEMBERS. We notice, by the cleo
ton returns, that an unusually largo number
of new members of both branches of the Leg
is'aturc have been elected this year. Although
in the aggregate there may be no loss of Leg
islatiye talent, still, we cannot but regret the
change that has taken place in the delegation
of Ilopknton, where John NJ. Barber, Free
Soil, gentleman we have not the pleasure
of ofkuowing, succeeds Joseph L. Barber, Esq.

the Wings of lIopkInton could not, as We
presume they could not, prevail on that gen

MRs. llEMANs.-An essay in late number
Of Blackwo1d, on Mrs lIcmans, contains some
interesting particulars of her private history.
The following is an extract:
not long after the publication of her
poems the next great event uf her life took
place--hcr introduction to Capt N,mans.--
The young poctess was then only fifteen, in
the full glow Of that ladient beauty hich was
destined to fade 50 early The mall'.ag bloom
Of her checks was shaded by a lroi, sion Of
natural ringlcts, Of rich golden brown; and
the ever-varyiug expression of her brilliant eyes
gave a chango(ul play to her countcnanco,
which would have made it impossible for any
painter to do justice to it, No wonder that
3 fair a creature should excite the admiration
of a gallant captain. And the love on both
/ sides was ardent and sincere for captain lIo-
mans, soon after their introduction, was called
upon to embark with his regiment for Spain.
on his return in 1912, they were married. OF
their domestic happiness, or unhappincss no
thing is said bat six years after in 1918, We
are simply told that the captain went to Rome
and never returned. The separated pair
never met again.
To dwell on this subject says her biogra-
phor, would necessarily be painful yet it
must be stated that nothing like permanent
separation was contemplated at the time, nor
did it ever amount to more than tacit conven.
tonal arrangement, which offered no obstacle
to the frequent interchange Correspondence,
nor TO constant reference TO their father il all
things relating to the disposal Of her boys
But years rolled on-scyen years of absence
and consequently alienation and from ths
time to the hour OF her death, Mrs. Hcinans
and her husband never met again.

IHIDED By WoMAN.-A most exciting and
Extraordinary scene occurred in Broadway, at
1.-The ".2s.a.e! "' Duane street, about one O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, the particulars Of which
as we have gathered them from responsible
sources, are as follows Edward Il &. Jud-
son, editor Of a paper in this city, known as
Ned Buntlincs Own, was walking down
Broadway, accompanied by two friends. As
the three reached the corner of Duane street,
, dashing-looking and fashionlbIy dressed fe-
male rushed upon MIR. Jud-on, and, with a
cowhdc in her hand demanded of tho editor
Why he had published her in his payer. To
this demand he had scarcely time to make a
ireuly before he received several severe blows
on the head and shoulders from the woman
who Piled her weapon of revenge most dcX-
terously. lie then ran across the street, and
she followed, giving him a h!ow for every
step, until satisfied that she had avenged The
Insult she had received. 4 large crowd OF
persons gathered around Immediately, and
the beligerent parties separated-the woman
walking up Broadway. During the aGray, it
is alleged that the editor drew pistol and
Threatened the life of his fair assailant but
we believe no shots were fired. The woman,
we learn is Miss Kate Hastings, keeper Of a
boarding house in Leonard street. The oc-
Icuucnce, taking place as il did, at an hour Of
the day, when Broadway is most thronged
with spectators, caused an unusual excite
ment Mr.. hudson, Immediately after the af-
fray, proceeded before tic Mayor and made
an affidavit respecting the assault but his
Honor, up 10 4 late hour last night, Lad not
issued any warrant or process for the arrest
OF Miss Kate. 1t is possible, however, that
his Honor vii send for this bold creature this
forenoon, as there appears to be some curiosi-
