THE NEWPORT DIFFICULTY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan, of New York,
whose recent quarrel at Newport has at
tracted considerable notice, sailed for Eu-
rope on Wednesday. 1t is said they oc-
Cupy different state rooms oh board the
steamer. and that they are en- route for
Paris. She is to have the children and
live with Mr.. Shclden, her father, who is
in Paris while he is to furnish means for
educating and supporting the children,
and is to be permitted to see them once
every day, but no longer than one hour
at each time. A Newport correspondent
of the New York Express gives the follow
ing account of the unfortunate affair:
1t seems that some two or three weeks
since, Morgan struck his wife, while at
one of the hotels in this city. She gave
birth to a child some two months since,
during his absence, and was, during her
illness, protected by lady, also of your
city. whom will not mention. On the
arrival of Morgan, he prevented his wife
from further speaking with the lady
named, though an old and intimate friend
of Mrs. Morgan's father, and caused her
to hc closely watched by her nurse. Mrs.
Morgan was not permitted to receive or
send letter except through this nurse
and after her through the husband.
But a few weeks ago Mrs. Morgan re-
ccivcd an invitation to the party of most
respectable lady who was soiourning at
Newport, and not being permitted by her
husband even TO leave her room, or see Il
soul except the nurse, she stcalthily Sc
gf TO ho
old lady who had 50 much bcf'iendCd her,
and requested that she would excuse her
absence at the party. Morgan coming
home and by some means ascertaining
these facts. rushed into the room of his
wife, and beat her severely with his fist
leaving several bruises on her face. This
was heard by several ladies in the house,
who reported it. This finally led some
of Mrs Morgan's friends to secure ha-
bsds corpus by which she was taken from
her husband and protected. At the ex-
animation which resulted from this writ,
Morgan acted mbccomingly toward the
old lady hitherto mentioned, grinning
mockishly and iicndishly at her, as if
doubling the truth of what she testified.
She appealed to Mr.. Hone for protection,
and at once was promised it. Mr.. Hone
percciving that he continued his conduct,
said that he sincerely trusted that the
court would protcct the lady i'll question
from the - insults of the monster" which
was promptly done by the Justice.
This expression led Morgan to make an
assault upon Mr.. Hone, for which, as we
have heretofore stated, he was held to bail
in the sum of ! 900, to appear for trial.
As it was feared he would leave for Er-
rope, and thus forfeit the bail, efforts were
made to increase it to $1,000, but the
court refused to increase it.
u Men may enter into business rcck-

flourish for time; perhaps by accident,
like the gambler, if they retire from The
field when their pockets are full, secure q
fortune, and it is no warrant of ability;
but to continue for long series Of years
in the successful management of a large
business, is a pr, of of ability, energy
self denial, and others of the rarest quail
ifications possessed by mankind.
Nothing in this world is so fatal to the
development of the intellectual powers o
the young, Us what are called eXpecta-
tons. Take two boys of the same age
and as nearly as may be Of the same
capabilities. Inform one that he Is he'll
to large fortune, which will one day ol
other come into his possession, tell th'
other that he las not siNpence TO depend
on, but must thrive by his own eXertiol
and ten years afterwards there will be
mighty difference between them. Yo1
will find that one has wrapped up hi
talent in napkin while the other ha
laid it out at interest.-BlGckrrood's Mag
