From the State Police Tribune.
Mrs. Nesbitt Elopes.
Mr. and Mrs. Nesbitt were married year ago
last June, since which time they have resided at
Cleveland. Mr.. Nesbitt is queer little person,
very impulsive, and very pungent He don't be
lieve in nonsense of any kind Mr. Nesbitt is a
man of considerable wealth, and, TOR year after
marriage, lived with Mrs. Nesbitt on the most af-
fectionate terms. Last June a music teacher, by
the name of Davis, arrived at Cleveland for the
purpose of teaching the piano to such ladies as
should honor him with their patronage Among
the ladies who took Mr. Davis's claim into consid-
Grafton, was Mrs. Nesbitt. Now, be it known Mrs
Nesbitt is kiIling-looking woman. She boasts of
a figure equal TO the " Venus of medicine" 1--WE
quote Mrs. Harris) and set of coal black eyes
that penetrate into your interim like pair Of ra-
piers. Mrs. Nesbitt is about twenty-six years of
age, and just sufficiently stocked with health and
ideness to make her relish Byron and think Of inn
propriety. Mrs, Nesbitt engaged Mr.. Davis to give
her lessons. Mr. Nesbitt didn't like to have
"cussed moustachen in his house, but was com
PEELED to give his assent to keep "peace in the
family" Mr.. Davis soon ingratiated himself with
Mrs. Nesbitt. In less than month after their ac-
quaintance, Mrs. Nesbltt was heard to exclaim
"my dear Mr.. Davis, how could you be so wicked"
Ny dear Mr.. Davis" is a vile phrase, especially
when applied by married lady to gentleman
not her husband. Mr.. Davis, Of course, cultivated
Mrs, Nesbirt's musical talents, and with such sue
cess that he induced her on Wednesday of last
week to execute running passage" that requires
some considerable nerve.
Mr.. Davis, the music teacher, induced Mrs. Mes
bitt to elope. They reached Buffalo on Thursday.
They remained there till Monday morning, when
they started for Albany. They arrived on Mon
day evening, and put up at first. class hotel on
Broadway. At Buffalo they engaged chamber
maid to travel with them. She was also among the
arrivals of Monday night Mr.. Davis supposed
that he had everything arranged for nice sociable
time On leaving Cleveland he allowed that he
was going to Cincinnati He did this to put Mes
bitt on the wrong track Mr. Davis miscalculated.
Mr.. Nesbitt was not to be done by any such ar
rangement. The day after they LETT Cleveland
Mr. Nesbitt ascertained that they had gone East.
Mr.. Nesbitt jumped into the cars and put for Buff
fao. At Buffalo he got on their trail and put for
Albany. He arrived here on Tuesday night. He
found !" Mr.. Davis and lady" ut the hotel already
spoken OF. As good luck would have it, Mr. Davis
was absent. Mrs Nesbitt went into tears and con-
vulsions. When she came to, she acknowledged
her wickedness, and promised to do so no more.
Mr.. Nesbitt " felt for her child" and forgave her
Mrs. Nesbitt said that this was more than she de-
served.
Mr.. Nesbitt. Don't make scene, but get
your things ready"
For what purpose, love?"
Mrs. Nesbitt promised to do SO, and asked when
the next train left Mr.. Nesbtt replied this even
ing at o'clock---t is now quarter past six. Mrs
Nesbitt said nothing could afford her more pleas
ure, as she was dying to get back to ''that dear
child" Mr.. Nesbitt sighed and pressed his right
hand against the watch pocket in his vest. When
o'clock was nearly reached Mr.. Nesbitt asked Mrs
Nesbitt If she were ''ready to start" She replied
perfectly" Saying which, she seized leather

toward the main entrance" Just as she reached
the first stair, she said, hold my satche dearest
while return to my room for my hair brush"
Mr.. Nesbitt said, certainly, and took the satchel
aforesaid. Mrs. Nesbitt returned to her parlor
remained there some three minutes, and when she
returned to her husband she was not only vailed
but weeping. Mr. Nesbitt was a man, and felt for
the distress of his wife. "Ths comes from a
broken heart Without saying a word, Mr. and
Mrs. Nesbitt locked arms, walked to the depot,
and took their seats in the cars. In about min
the cars started, Mrs. Nesbitt still buried in
vail picked with tears, and Mr.. Nesbitt musing
OF the RIGHTEOUSNESS of music teachers. At Sche-
nectady Mr.. Nesbtt said, "Look up love, for
give 1t ALL" The lady addressed sobbed twice, and
tlen consented to look up. When she did so, Mr.
Nesbitt was struck all of heap
And who the devil are youpr
"Mrs. Nesbitts waiting maid, sir"
And how came you in that dress and in my
company"
"At Mrs. Nesbtt's request, sir; we snapped
clothes when she came back for that hair brush"
Nesbitt could hear no more. he rushed from
the car, got In the next train for Albany, and ar
rived at 10 p. M. He sought the hotel through,
but Mrs. Nesbitt had stepped out" She left the
house about FIVE minutes after Mr. Nesbitt started
for the West. She was accompanied by young
man with a moustachen
