and no equity can interfere.

SARAH, OF MABLBoROUcH.-k0ns Of the Ducb.
ess's charms when they were at theirvery proudest

upon bis offending her, by some act ofdisobedienee
to cher sovereign WILL the bright thought occurred
as che sat considering how she should plague him
most that it would be hearty vezation 10 see his
favorite tresses cut OF. Instantly the deed was
done; she cropped them Short aud laid them where
he must pass through TO enter her apartment: but.
to her cruel disappointment, he passed entered aud
repassed, calm enough TO provoke a saint, neither
angry nor sorF0Wlul, seemingly quite Unconscious
both Of his crime and punishment Concluding he
must have overlooked the hair she ran to secure n
Il had vanished and she remained in perplextv The
rest Of the day. The next, as be continued silent
and her lOoking-glass spoke the change-a rueful
one-she began to think she had, for once. done a
foolish thing.
Nothing more ever trsnspired upon the subject
until the Dukes death, when she found her besuti-
ful ringets carefully laid up in a cabinet where he
kept whatever he held most precious The Duchess
survived her ustri0us husband not less than TWEEN

small degree be ina ined from the following anee-
dote. Though in her sixty second year. she still
possessed some attractions; insomueh that she was
sought in marriage by the Duke Of Somerset Her
answer is highly characteristic, and greatly to be
admired Marriage is very unsuitable al my age,

A VERY COoL OPERATION ALL ROUEDs-PHILoso.
PLY IN WOMAN "A short time since a and his
wife boarded with a family in the central part Of
the city, in which there was fair daughter Of the
host, and between her and the husband boarder
there grew an intimacy which was not looked upon
with favor by the wife. The Irritation was contin
ued until the father gave the daughter severe
whipping Last week a social dancing party was
given at the house of the father when the daughter
aud her married lover took advantage of the cir
eumstance and eloped in company The husband,
who is a man of some means took with him 81, 900
in money, and left With the deserted wife just dOu-
Bile that sum. So far good for illicit love and the
elopement.
Did the wife rave and tear her hair and vent her
grief in angry words and bitter denuncstOns Of
the mans perfdy? Did she pine, grow melancholy
aud 60 into "decine?" Not bit of it! She
ooOy laid aside the financial evidences Of regard left
by her erring lord, and then cody packed up his
clothes, old and new, and fOrraTd.d them to him -!
Here was philosophy under aggravstion which be
thought no woman capable Of He really regarded
himself much injured individual! Making a vr-
tue of necessity he readily consented that the wife
should procure a divorce, without opposition; aud
thus The 'lille family difficulty" was arranged 10
the satisfaction Of all parties.-CjHeR Ga..

TEE ORIGINAL MORGAN HoRsE Near the close
Of the last century, singing m tster by the name
of Justin MOrg n, lived in ChiCOpee street, West
Springfield. Tbs place where the man lived has
been pointed out 10 the writer by one who knew
aim, and remembers his celebrated horse. Mr..
Morgan had a few acres Of land, and Usually kept
one or two horses He cultivated his farm in sum
mers, and taught music in his own and the neigh
boring towns winters. In the spring Of 1873 he
raised the colt which has given celebrity to his
name. Mr.. Morgan had passion for good horses,
and his colt, while he remained in West Springfield,
was more fully appreciated by his owner thsn by
his fellow townomen. In those days $50 was con
sidered a great price for horse and it is believed
that this horse could have been bought for about
that sum.
Fortune freWned upon Mr.. Morgan, aud seized
with the spirit CT adventure about the year 1893,
he migrated with his family and horse to the wilds
of Randolph, Vt. Here he lived few years and
died poor Neither be nor his family realized profit
from this horse. Such the foundation of breed
which has given both wealth and character to New
England. In this case is forcibly illustrated the
influence Of an ordinary action. Justin Morgan
might or might not have been conscious of the re-
suits when sixty-fve years ago. he raised that ia
nous colt The act simple in itself, but the
consequences are momenious. An impetus was
then given to a branch of industry whose power is
not yet fully felt. Wherever the horse is known,
there shall the name of Justin Morgan be repeated.

Truly this is the age of invention. A new swind-
ling dodge has lately come TO light in Albany, New
York, which the shopkeepers here will do Well to
beware of. A.yOung lady there entered grocery,
and after taking seat on . chair near the cOun-
ter. ordered variety Of articles, which we're weigh
ed tied up and handed to her by the attentive and
polite s.crekeeper. As each package was given her,
she dropped it into earthen vase which she held
in her lap When she had completed her pureha.
ses she placed the lid the vase and setting it on
one end of the counter requested the storekeeper to
allow it to stand there for few minutes, while she
attended to some business in the vicinity stating at
the same time that on her return she would settle
the bill Shortly after her departure, an attendant
of the store having occasion to move this vase
found to be considerably lighter than the number
of articles paced in it would warrant, and on re-
moving the lid the secret was dscovered-there was
no bottom to it, It is supposed that the ingenious
female had pocket in the front of her dress, in
which to place the articles as they were handed to
her. It is needless to say that she did not return for
her vase.

One Of the most interesting and important
medical questions at present discussed, is whether
revaccinatiOn is necessary. The generality of ply
sicians hold that where vaccination has been prop
erly performed it never leaves the system, and that
revaccinatOn is entirely unnecessary, while others
hold quite the contrary and that vaccination runs
out of the system in certain number Of years.
The London Lancet, after presenting considerable
array Of statistical detail bearing upon this guess
ton, remarks, that the occurrence Of small pOz
after vaccination, which was exceedingly rare du-
ring the FIRST ten or twelve years after he discovery
of vaccination, has recently become sufficiently
frequent to excite the attention of medical men and
the public in all parts Of EurOPe-that the prOtec-
tive influence of vaccination diminishes with the
lapse of years since vaccinaiOn-and that the grav-
ity and danger of variOlOid are commonly proper
tionate to the interval Of time which has elapsed
since the primary vaccination.

ENGLISH OS Drrs.-Sir FitzrOy Kelly, the AttOr
ney General of England, has scandalized the fash
ionable world by avOEiDg his marriage some time
ago with his dairy maid, The fact has been con-
cealed until further coacealment was impossible,
the lady having presented him with son and heir,
to the intense disgust of his only child by his first
Marriage daughter who is herself married and
has family The Attorney General is n his sixty
second year.
An accomplished and beautiful young EUglish
wOman-Miss f. Southall-has fallen in love with
and recently married Juan Fernandez celebrated
bull fighter at Madrid. The strength and agility
of the Spaniari may be imagined from the fact that
he frequently tired out the f5rcest bull by vauling
on his back, and remained so firmly fixed that the
Infatuated ANIMAL finding every effort to dislodge
him in vain would at length TALL exhausted beneath
his hercuean rider-a sight that obtained more ap-
pause for Fernandez than the death of half dozen
bulls by the weapon Of the stOutest Spaniard. The
pair have recently arrived in London, and are now
settled in Begrayis, where a splendid mansion vas
purchased to receive them by he father of the lady

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Affair.

It seems New York has at last got rid of the
BlOnut-DeReIveres scandal, and there is a prospect
of its being transferred to Savannah Ga. The savan-
nah republican Of the 4th says:
''Col F S. BIount. lady aud dauhgter of Mobile,
Who in connection with DeReiVere. have created
such a sensa ion in the northern cities for some
weeks past, arrived in the steamer Alabama yester
day, en- route for their home in Mobile. They are
stopping at the Pulaski House, and should every
thing work tremendously, will axe the II O'Clock
train to-day for Macon and the West There is said
to be, however, prospect Of interruption in
their journey Soon Gfer heir arrival Al Savannah,
Mrs, b and daughter informed the Colonel that
they had made arrangements with the Zousve,
DeReviere, previous 20 their departure from New
York, for q meeting in this etty and furthermore,
that the latter had taken passage in the Huntsville,
and would be here promptly, according to agree

''The Huntsville is below as We go TO press, but
