SHAwIs.-The passion for sbawls,
saysa late writer. among all women
everywhere, is remarkable. In one
country, the shawl may flow from the
head like veil; in another, it haugs
from the shoulders; in another, it is
knotted around the loins ike sash;
in another, ii is swatbed around the
body like a skirt. Wherever worn
at all. it is the pet article of dress
st the Russian court, ladies Judge
one another by their shawls, as by
their diamonds. In France, the
bridegroom wins favor by judieious
gift of this. kind. In Cairo and
Damascus the gift of a shawl will
cause almost as much heart-burning
in the barem as the introduction of
a new wife. In England, the daugh-
ter of the house spends the whole

A THOUSAND DOLLAR HUsBAND.-A curl
Gus case came before the Supreme Court, yes
terday, which sheds additional light upon the
matrimonial brokerage business in this city
A suit is brought by Robert G. Nellis against
George Grouse and his wife for $1,000 COM
mission in getting husband for the woman,
which husband is the defendant George. -Four
years ago Mrs. Grouse was gay widow in
search of partner. She was in excellent
health of good bodily vigor, ample fortune,
and of an amorous and affectionate disposition.
She wanted husband, and told NelIis if he
would introduce her to the proper man for
such situation she would pay him thousand
dollars. Nellis accepted the commission, and
brought up John Cummings, of CanaJoharle,
in this State. Cummings was on probation Tor
a while, but did not suit Nellis started for
the country again, and succeeded in capturing
a military man, known as Major Freeman, all
the way from Saratoga county. Freeman had
long siege of courtship, but the twain failed
to unite, and Freeman is q free man still. The
third effort is additionally the grand trial II
that fails abandon hope Nellis made third
essay, and this time introduced the defendant
Grouse, a kinsman of his own, by the way, to
undertake the difficult task of suiting wild
ow. Fortune and the widow smiled upon
Grouse, and year ago the bargain was com
Melted by marriage. Nellis asserts that, by his
Introduction of Grouse, the widow got the
much desired husband, and that she or they
rightfully owe him 81 900 commission, a.
promised but never paid. The complaint is
certainly strange one but the defence is
still more singular. Thepromise does not APP

there is the husband brought in as proof; but
the ex-widow's counsel argues that the claim
is against public policy, and that no such sys
