mistress forgetting the duties she owed hers
aud three children, and the more due them
that the husband and father Gilderoy or Gilr
is now in Jail in Kenosha. The circumstanc
OF thepoor little ones attest that orphanace
not the worst evil that may befall helpless chil
hood.
The woman has resided IN Racine. but f
lowed her paramour to this city, TO escape t.
obloquy that had attached to their infamo
shanelessness in that community. The cid
child, bright little boy, had been told to c:
Pue1cr his father; aud rucffsr had visited Il
mother several times since their arriral her
and always passed the night. The Racine ,jou
"d< OF the 18th, refers in 4 lengthy paragrap
to the elopement Of the miserable pair.
The letters Of the woman reveal the darke
side OF human nature, and how distorted IN
debased the nob1est sentiments of woman's n,

gone to dishonorcd grave, leaving her Chi
dren heritage Of shame they can only escap
by forgetting her who bore them.

One half the world knows not how the othe
half lives, and it is well but there are time,
when the veil is rent inside, and hideous vice
comes shrieking into the light, not Us new
thing, nor that it has not erer attached to ths
lowest phases Of our poor humanity, but only
because some startling accession Of horror las
thrust it open upon the world. Such disclos.
urcs have their meaning and their warning, fo.
they rclterate and enforce The truth, that thu
way of the transgressor is hard. The first
steps that lead to the brink Of the precipice are
strewed with flowers. It's salutary ut times,
though ghastly the spectacle, to gaze at the
bleached skeletons that whiten the rocks at the
base, and learn the end of evil doing.

VIC hare ourselves seen parties Of sound mind
and excited fancy bound thither under all cir
cumstances and styles Of conveyance. And.
too, we hare heard from these auriferous locati-
ties in letters Of various import, from llucs the
most golden to tints Of the deepest indigo blue.
Shall VIC whisper it-those places referred TO
are nowhere now. Is it possible that We hare
become an Eldorado, that claims are to be stukcd
out, sluices built, cradles rocked, and the yari-
GUS operations Of the gold regions performed in
Chicago? We shall see what We shall see.
At present itpromises wrll. We can say no
more. We do advise, however, landlords nut
to put up rents or pull down valuable houses
covering supposed claims. Let no one buy
corner lot or an interest thereof on the basis of
his article; don't let us get excited. Several
hundred people came into the city over the "a,
rious lines Of railroad yesterday, Their arrival

gold here. We doubt whether they had heard
fit in fact, but some of them who still remain
nay be disposed to consider it proytdential that

nc or two references to the series Of cases
rowing out Of the relations Of Messrs. Doggett
I'd Haaf, late law partners, which from civil
hare become quite uncivil, in short

rivatc use, and disposition outside the Police
ourts and police items. We were furnished

lese suits, which We believed came from Nr.

'crs that it does him injustice. We bare no

Ut it is justice to say Of Mr.. Haaf that the suits
,ainst him for larceny hare been dismissed
ithout show or implication Of his guilt in the
'cmiscs. :Quarrels between ex.partners, and
