to have SO mournful an expression that

Ephraim Conant, and in moment had
appropriated him as my Brownie was

Briarvilc only the night previous, paused
to spend the sabbath there, and left on the
following morning. never saw him a

CownIDING .AFFAlR.-A few days since
as the men were getting paid off, the terri
tory of Uncle Sam was ruthlcssly invaded
and the rule ofthc Navy Yard set at def

who walked into the yard with Il cowhidc

Having found him, she umcloakcd her COW
hide, and mccremoniously applied it To his
head and shoulders with vigor that could
not be surpassed by even brawny truck
man. Not satisfied with one haggcllation
she returned after dinner, and again ap.
piled her cowhide to the head and should

after she got through with the second clios-
tscment, she declared she would come eve

the age of hcroincs has not gone by.

LAW REPORT.
COMMON PLEAS.

DIVORCE SUIT -DUHME VS.. DuHME.-The
closing argument in this case yesterday was
made by Mr.. Lincoln. He urged that the tes-
timony did not establish in the slightest degree
any of the grounds set forth in the petition.
Mrs. d. came here with strong prima facie
case against herself-having left her home and
children, an act reprehensible in public estima-
tion and in law, even supposing ground existed
for her seeking remedy under this statute /;
but in this case, undertaken not only without
good cause, but without any cause-there being
no evidence that the trouble was brought about
by any wrong on the part Of respondent. 1t
was rather brought about by her own improper
conduct, and by using this word "improper" he
did not mean to impeach her chastity-he had
no instructions to do so, for Mr.. Duhme stood
heresimply defending himself and desiring to
bring into this case such evidence only in rela-
ton to her as became necessary to show and
explain the origin of those matters which had
been brought up as q ground for divorce. She
had not correct notions Of home or a mothers
duty.
Judge Johnston closed the argument on the
part of the petitioner, and insisted that the
grounds for divorce had been clearly made
out. The various points relied upon by the OPP
posite counsel were ably met but our space
obliges us to limit the report to an abstract of
one argument on either side.

AMUsEMENTs.

WOoD's THEATER.-The Naad Qnecn made q most
papable hit upon its first representation Monday
evening We came to this conclusion from the fact
that last evening the house was filled to repletion-
1t Is seldom city people really enjoy themselves at
theater; everything to them has become STALE espc
cially tragedy, and may saycomedy. The two lat
ter could not draw at least in CITY, as respectable
an audience an itinerant organ grinder; conse-
quenty these must give way to that class Of amuse-
ments that will draw The management no doubt
would be happy at any time to bring out the most
sublime tragedy, or pleasing comedy, if the public
would support him. But managers have tried this to
such an extent that they have become fully satisfied
that to put out this class of amusements inevitably
results in pecuniary embarrassment spectacle
pieces, therefore, are something that appear to
please the people, and such one as the Naiad Queen
is deserving of liberal support The piece is gorge
ously dressed. The scenery is enchantingly beauti
fu, and the various parts well played.
NATIONAL THEATEa-FRANK DREw AND Our AMER
ICAN CousIN,-This popular comedy still holds II own
at the above establishment. The attendance being
much larger than we expected to see. Our opinion
of this comedy Is not by any means favorable one
being to our notion far inferior to many worn out
farces. The public may not, though, agree with us
in regard to the merits Of the piece Frank Drew is
avery clever actor, and very versatile yet in our
humble opinion he is not at home in the character of
'"hhee' MS lahkee Is now ana then mixed up
with touch of that broguo native and to the manor
born but he nevertheless takes with the people, and
1t matters not what character he appears in, he is
sure to make hit. He appears this evening as Asa
Trenchard.
In speaking of the first concert to be given by Pic
colomini, the types made say Saturday. 1t should
have been wednesday. The sale of tickets for the
concert this evening has been very rapid therefore,
those who intend enjoying the musical treat, which
bids fair to excel anything of the kind we have had
here since the Swedish Nightingale left our shores
viii have to apply early for their tickets.
CAMPBELL's MINsTRELs.-Th troupe will open at
Smith & Nixon's Hall next Monday evening The
public aware, doubt, that this is now the most
popular troupe travelling, and always hailed by
those who love good music with marked demonstra-
tions Of pleasure and delight.
