MYSTERIES OF NEW YoRk-Eugene Sues

MYSTERIES OF New YoRk.-Eugene Sues
romantic delineations of "Life in Paris" do
not afford much blacker picture of domestic
crime than is presented in an application for
divorce, presented to the New York Superior
Court, by the Rev. DR.. Richard Cox, an emil
nsnt Episcopal divine. The testimony before
the court, which is of too revolving charac.
ter to publish, confirms the opening state
ment Of the abused husbands counsel, from
which We extract the following paragraph:
The plaintiff is the pastor Of Zion's church
on Madison Avenue. During his earlier ca
reer he was blessed with q wife who was his
own, and not another mans. She died and
he subsequently, became acquainted with the
defendant, who represented herself to be the
widow of Mr.. Van Wyck; by her arts he
was finally married to her on the 14th of May,
1881, by DR.. Hawkes.. He having two chill
dren she acted towards Thorn with unkind.
ness. In the fall of 1853, he discovered that
she had lived in houses Of i'll fame since she
was fifteen years OF age, and had been mar
ried by Mr.. Van Wyck into responsibility.
When che was married in the church to Mr..
Cox, one of her lovers was in the church look.
ing on The proof is principally circumstan.
tial, admit, but it will be shown that DR.
Cox married genteel prostitute, and under
that ceremony she covered her crimes She
weuld habitually remain at home on commu.

bring licentious liquors, and drinking and IL
nousness were going on while her husband
was in church. She had bolts placed inside
of the door to her ed-room, and she assigned.
as reason that it was to keep off the ap-
proach of her husband She usually met her
friends at houses Of i'll fame on Saturdays, be.

"She dressed in mourning, and for evasion
used to wear two wells, one a colored one. She
has been followed and seen 70 ~ INTO houses
of ill-fame, and was known among that class
as the cruiser > after DR.. Cox learned some
Of these facts, he applied to Mr. Bell, DO
liceman. who arranged matters to detect her
A man was employed to watch her, and he

connected with set Of abandoned women.
We charge her with committing adultery with
persons unknown, but we fix the time and
place as near as possible. The pleadings are
broad enough to admit proof to this effect
since her marriage. Attempts have been
mad e to blacken the character of the plaintiff

publishes the following funny little political
biography of the Hon. John Minor Bolts:
"This distinguishsd-or, more appropriate
ly, this extiDguisbed gentleman-seems to
have as many lives as are ususlly ascribed TO
cat He has been dead, buried, and forgot
ten at least half score of times but with a
tepacity of life like that Of the eel, when
skinned and cut up, or the swapping turtle,
when bis head is chopped of, he, every now
and then, makes a wriggle or q snap, espe-
presidential election. Mr.. Bolts il q very
desperate man, and, like a losing gamestsf,
every new disappointment increases his srdor
to continue the game In his political gam
bling having long since Loot all his capital,
he seems to be following the example of our
Indians, who, when they have nothing else
left, stake their old breech-ciothes and moe
casins as a last venture 1t was probably this
tsnacity Of purpose which acquired him the
cOgnomen by which he was formerly distin-
guished. In the days Of his early manhood,
when sowing his wild oats, he was distin.
guished on the turf; kept racers, and risked
his money like gentleman This he contin-
ued several years, in all which time be never
won a race But he frequently came in the
next winner, and was accustomed to boast of
his triumph. in that way. Hence he acquired
among his brother sportsmen the name Of
&" Second-best Bolts" In the present scrub
race he has just commenced we apprehend he
will not sustain his ancient reputation will
be distanced to a certainty"
