BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.

We alluded, in our last, to an inter-
esting prosecution then before our court
for breach OF marriage contract. The
case was a novel one, having the uuu ,ual
feature of being brought against lady
by her discarded lover. 1t was also
novel in another aspect-both parties
were married, and the suit was insugura-
ted since these marriages. The parties
were from Granville, and belong to good
families.
George Sherman, the plaintiff, was a
very young man, whose affections were
ardent, and could not be trifled with
lightly, hence he claimed ten thousand
dollars as the salve, for the I'M juries he
had suffered. Nina Moore, his plighted
love, was also young, and did not seem
to deserve the severe exactions of her
lover. She did not deny the affection
for him, or her engagement; but she
attempted tc justify her course by the
circumstances, and succeeded so far as
TO convince the jury that the damage
which her lover suffered was very slight.
1t seems that Mr.. Sherman had "two
strings to his bow" While he was pay
ing addresses to Miss Moore, he was also
on terms of intimacy with the lady that
he afterwards married, and good deal
troubled as to which way he should de-
eide. But as be was young, and his pa
rents continued to WELD strong infu
ence over him, their pleasure in the
matter decided him.
On the other hand, parents of Miss
Nina were greatly averse TO the match
and treated young Sherman unkindly.-
Nina also had attentions from the man
she had subsequently married, and the
parents desired that the connection
should be forwarded in iha at direction, and
pressed her very hard to give up Mr..
Sherman and accept MIR. George. 1t is
not new thing that the course of true
love does not run smooth, and the cross
purposes and adverse desires of the pa
rents on both sides sadly puzzled poor
Nina. who finally yielced to the wishes
OF her parents. and cast off Mr.. Sherman,
who soon married the young lady of
whom We have spoken, and who seems to
have divided his heart with her rival
Nina, too, was not long in accepting the
hand of Mr.. George, and both parties
were married, (happily We helieve;) be
fore this suit was commenced. Under
these circumstances the jury gave a ver-
dict of $50 for the plaintiff, and left each
party to pay their own costs. The case
attracted great interest. and eloquent
speeches were made by parties on both
North american.

of their first colossal strife, and their first great
victory. =,
Marie. .Edme- Patrick Maurice de Mac -Mahon
is scion of one of those illustrious Irish faln-
lilies which followed the Stuarts into exile two
centuries ago, and have since given SO many
brave and brilliant names to the history Oh
France. Austria and Spain. The gallantry OF
the Sars6elds and the Tryconnels has not faded
ONT of this ancient blood with the lapse of time
and the valor of the Irish Brigade which broke
the English sqnares at Fontenoy lives in the
stormer of the Malakoff and the leader OF the
desperate battle at Magenta.
The father of Marshal Mcmahon was Peer
of France under the Restoration, having been as
loyal to the Bourbons as his ancestors had been
to the Stuarts; and personal friend OF Charles
X. of France. The son, born in 1907, entered
that nursery of heroes, the school OF ST. Cyr, ID
1926, and fought in Algiers with the first French
army of invasion. Returning to France in the
suit of General Aehard, he marched with the
Duo d'Orleans to the siege of Antwerp, in 1881,
and was one of the officers who saved the POM
pous Belgian lion erected on the field of Water
loo from the rage of the French Infantry, by q
good natured witticism at the expense CT that
rather ridiculous beast
Action being the element ofmen like McMa
hon, he is found again in Algiers in 1887 promi-
nent in the assault on Constantine. He after
wards commanded battalion of rifles, and q
regiment of the Foreign Legion, and in 1845,
as General of Brigade, governed the Province OF
Oran. July Is, 1852 he became general OF
division; and in 1856 was despatched to sue
ceed General Canrobert at Sebastopol. On the
Sth of September of that year the perilous honor
of leading the storming party against the Mala-
koff was contided to him, and in an instant he
found himself famous. He was almost the first
man to enter the Russian works, and swearing
to stay there, 'iving or dead" rallied his troops
so constantly and ardently to the defence, that
all the obstinate gallantry of the Russian bat
talions was wasted upon the attack. He com
manded in Italy the Second Division, and has
now won the distinction, unparalleled, we be.
lieve in history, of receiving on one battle field
his ducal corcnet and his baton of Marshal Of
France. Our Irish fellow citizens will doubt
less take 10 small share of the glory of Magenta
| to themselves in virtue of the new Dukes share
in the action, and they have certainly reason to
be proud of their kinsman.

Do They Miss Me at Home

Do They Miss Me at Home
Do they miss me at home, do they miss ne
,Twould be an assurance most dear,
NJ L,o,, that this moment some loved one
Were saying 1 wish he were here
To feel that the group at the tire-slde,
Were thinking of me as roam,
oh, yes twould be joy beyond measure,
To know that they miss me at home.
When twilight approaches--the season
That ever is sacred to song
Does some one repeat my name over,
And sigh that tarry so long?
And is there a chord in the music,
That's missed when my voice Is away
And a chord in each heart that awaketh
Regret at my wearisome stay9
Do they set me chair at the table,
When evenings home pleasures are nngh!
When the candles are lit in the parlor,
And the stars in the calm azure skyg
When the good nights are often repeated
And all lay them down to their sleep,
Do they think of the absent and watt me
A whispered good night, while they weep?
Do they miss me at home, do they miss mes
At morning, at noon or at night
And fingers one gloomy shade round them,
That only my presence can light?
Are joys less invitingly welcome,
And pleasures less hale than before,
Because one is missed from the circle
Because am with them no more?

THE SADDEsT S1aHT.-The attention of bach
elors is invited to the following "wal" from Sal
isbury "There are some sights in this world-a
city sacked and burned-a London in the midst
of a plague-a ship burning at sea-a family, pi-
ming in starvation-a jar of honey smashed on
the pavement, but the saddest sight to us of all
is an old bachelor stolidly walking towards his
end bis great duties undoDe, his shirt buttons
off, his stockings out at the toes, and nobody to
leave his money to. We're we such man, the
mild, reproving eye of widow or maiden lady
would drive us mad. But there is still hope
Uger and older men than any of our friends
have married beautiful wives, who trained them
admirably, and spent their money elegantly"

Dangers of Spring.

About one.fifth more persons die in May thar
November. After being pent up in the winter
it might be supposed that the ability to go out
and exercise in the luscious air OF spring time,
would be productive of increased vigor ano
health of body, but this is simply not the case
as evidenced by the ably prepared and valuable
reports of City Inspector Morton. This differ
ence of mortality between the last month O
spring and the last month of fall, arises from
causes which are under the control Of the people
or beyond; two of each will be mentioned
The natural causes are, 1st-The increased damp
ness OF the atmosphere, proven by the fact thai
doors which shut easy in winter, do not do sc
in summer. 2nd-Nature takes away the ap
petite for meals, for heat giving food, in order
to prepare the body for the increased tempera
ture of summer But two errors in practice al
this time, interfere with wise natures arrange
nents, and induce many and painful and danger
Gus diseases. First, The amount of clothing il
diminished too soon. Second, the conveniences
OF fire in our dwellings are removed too early
All persons, especially children, old people, and
those in delicate health, should not remove the
thickest woollen flannel of mid-winter, unit
some time in May, and then it should be merely
change to little thinner material.
Furnaces should not be removed, nor fire
places and CRATES cleaned for the summer, until
the lst of June for brisk fire in the CRATE is
sometimes very comfortable in the last week in
May that may be q rare occurrence, but as il
does sometimes take place, it is better to be pre-
pared for it than to sit shiyering for halfa day
with the risk to ourselves and children, of some
violent attack Of spring disease. By inatten
ton to these things four causes are in operation
to chill the body and induce cold aud tevers.
Frst-The dampness of the atmosphere ir
May.
Second-The striking falling off in appetite
for meats and other "heating" food.
Third-The premature diminution of clothing
Fourth-The too early removal of the conve-
niences of fire.
And when the very changing condition of the
weather of May is taken into account, it is nc
wonder, that under the influence of SO many
causes of diminution of the temperature of the
body, many fall victims to disease.
In November, the healthiest month in the
year, we have put on our warmest clothing, We
have kindled our daily fires, we have found 8
keen relish for substantial food, while the damp.
ness of the atmosphere has been removed by the
condensation of increasing cold The wise will
remember these things for lifetime and teach
them to their children.-Halps Journal q

GENERAL EsPINAssE.

| Esprit Charles Marie Espinasse, like Canro-
bert, was graduate of the school of st. Cyr.-
Born in the village of Suissac, April 2, 1915, du-
ring the "Huudred Days" He left the school
in 1883, and won his first steps in Algeria. As
Chef de Battalion he fought in 1916 at the head
of the Zouaves; and in 1S49 commanded the
Forty-second of the Line at the siege of Rome.
He was most active in suppressing the insurrec-
tions of December, 1851, and devoted himself to
the cause of the President and public order
Immediately on the proclamation of the Empire,
he became an aide de camp of the Emperor In
the Crimea he fought gallantly by the side of the
Ssrdinians at Tchernays and was one of the first
to follow General Mcmahon into the MalakoE
When Paris was shocked and excited by the
Orsini affair in January, 1858, General Espinasse
was made Minister Of Public Safety in the place
of NJ. Billault. Although this disappointment
caused much alarm aud concern as an invasion
of the civil service by military man, General
Espinasse administered his office with commen-
dsble moderation; and when he made way for
more liberal system in the person Of NJ. Delange
became a Senator of the Empire. he served in
Italy as General of Division in the second corps
