A DIVORCE CASE UPON THE PLEA OF Dis
LoYALTY-A curious divorce case tIanspred last
week in Harrisburg, the complainant in which is
Philadelphian.
1t seems that in February, 1860, Miss Kath-
arne Brown, the daughter of wen-known
druggist was united TO ST. George Henry Hop
kins, of Winchester Va. The match was an un-
congenial one, and the petitioner alleges that
Hopkins treated her with marked neglect, in
difference aud cruelty. lie finally forsook her
in February last, aud has since, it is believed,
made allegiance to the Confederate Government.
Upon the ground, mainly, of his disloyalty, the
petitioner asks for full and final divorce. She
is corrohorated, as TO the dsloyaltY Of Hopkins,
by Chief L. c. Baker, of the Government detee-
tive police.
The petition Of Mrs Hopkins is explicit as to
details, and narrates many incompatibiities OF
disposition and sentiment. She says, for ex-
ample, that "on the Goth December, 1860, VIC
had n discussion upon the speech of Thos. Il
Cobb of Georgia, when my husband argued his
Secession views with such violence as to cause
me great faintness and illness. lie seemed tc
regret his violence, prOfessed repentance, and,
with n show of great love for my mother and
myself, threw aside his objections to my going
to visit my parents in his absence. He left foi
Virginia on the I'D December, 1860, aud did
not return until the 4th of January, 1861, wher
he passed through the city and went first tt
Germantown to his mother, where he remained
several hours---thus passing by without any
knowledge or inquiry as to my condition, having
been without any intelligence from me for five o
six days. lie had especial dislike to my habit
of care for expenditure, and neglected no oppor
tunity to ridicule and condemn them"
Again: ale strove constantly to impress MI
with dstrust of my mental capacity, and to i'm
press upon me his belief that my memory wal

me much anguish and apprehension, am happil,
unconscious of any abatement of memory or an.
other mental faculty, and have the satisfaction
Of knowing that all who hold me dear and kno'
me best have as yet perceived no reason for 81
distressing an opinion"
The peton is well written, and strong cas
seems to have been made out by the petitioner

.'No sir; never was in Court before" was
the answer.
He handed her the Bible, open.
"DO you know that book, my daughter 2"
She looked at Il aud answered, 'Yes, sir; II is
the Bible"
"Do you ever read it? ?" he asked.
"Yes sir, every evening"
"Can you tell me what the Bible ISL" inquired
the Judge.
at is the word of the great God" she answer
ed
"Well, place your hand upon this Bible, and
listen to what | say > and he repeated slowly
and soemnly the oath usually administered to
witnesses.
"Now, said the Judge, "you have sworn as a
witness, will you tell me what will befall you If
you do not tell the truth z"
81 shall he shut up 10 the State prison." an
swered the child
"Anything else asked the Judge.
al shall never 60 to Heaven" she replied.
GLOW do you know this ?n asked the Judge
again.
The child took the Bible, and turned rapidly
to the chapter containing the commandments,
pointed to the injunction, 'Thou shalt not bear
lnlse witness against thy neighbor." 81 learned
that before | could read"
elias any one talked to you about your being
witness i'll Court against lhiamanY' p inquired
the Judge
"Yes sir" she replied "my mother heard
they wanted me to be u Witness and last night
she called me to her room and asked me tell her
the Ten Commandments, aud then We kneeled
down together, and she prayed that might nn-
derstand how wicked it was to bear false witness
againat my neighbour aud that God would help
me little child, to tell the truth as it was he
fore him. And when came up here with father
she kissed me and told me 10 remember the Ninth
Commandment, and that Goit wonld hear every
worl illt said
"Do you he ieye this 2" asGelthe Judge, while
tear glistcned in his eye, and l.in lip qnivered
with emotion.
ayes, sir, said the child with voice anil
manner that showed her conviction of its irdlh
was perfect.
"God bless you. my child" said the Judge,
''you have good mother. This witness is com
petent " be continued. "Were | on trial for my
life, and innocent of tho charge against me,
would pray God for such u witness as this Let
her be examined"
She told her story with the simplicity of II
child as she was, but there was a directuess
about il which carried conviction Of ITS truth 10
| the heart. She was rigiily cross examined.
The counsel Piled her with infinite and ingenious
questioning, but she varied from her first ntate-
mrnt in nothing. The truth as spoken by that
little child was sublime. FalschOod and perjury
had preceded her testimony. The prisoner had
entrenched himself in lies, till he deemed himself
impregnabe Witnesses had falsifel facts in
his favor, and yilany had manufactured for him
Il sham defence. But before her testimony false
hood was scattered like chat. The little child
for whom a mother had prayed for strength to
be given her to speak the truth ms it was before
God, broke the cunning devices of matured
yillainy to pieces like the potter's vessel. The
strength that her mother prayed for was given
her, and the sublime and terrible simplicity
terrible mean to the prisoner and his associates
with which she spoke, was like revelation
from God himself.

PARTISAN COLLECTING PROCESS. The eonstables
of Paris arc always delighted when the masked
balls commence. Not that they are immoderate-
ly fond of dancing, but because they are sure to
arrest debtors they can find between sunrise and
sunset at no other season Of the year. No pro-
fession in the world requires such acuteness,
such dexerity, such acting, such skillin 'getting
up costume as this same profession which
lives by hunting, game for tailors, shoemakers,
and other professions which seem to be the butt
on which all men of elegant tastes but limited
means discharge their o U. 1t is the habit of
the constables to go to the masked balls attired
in some gay costume; they carry with them n
young clerk, dressed as n woman, and whose
beardless chin and fresh complexion warrant the
deception. The debtor is discovered The
clerk endeavors, generally with success, to tanglr
the debtor, and induce the latter TO treat to II
supper. The supper is prolonged until sunrise,
when the constable enters and arrests the debtor,
and discovers the trap into which the latter has
fallen.

EMANCIPATION IN AlIssoURI.--This war has
been made by the rebels themselves, the most
sweeping practical emancipation agent that could
have been devised. Nay, emancipation but
tamely expresses the work that has been going
on, for the word implies gradual process
The rebellion is leading to the abolition of
slavery. 1t is aboliiouizing the State, partly by
the wholesale deportation Of slaves by disloyal
masters to the Gulf States partly by the nm
resisted and uuoppOsed exodus of unclaimed aud
masteress slavns from the wealthy border and
river counties into Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and
Illinois; and partly by the almost complete
overthrow of slavery as an institution in the
State.
There are many slaves still in Missouri, but
they are regarded by their owners as a clog and
incumbrance--a species Of property of little or
no productive value, and the most precarious
tenure, since it is liable at any moment to take
wings or legs and flee away, without the possi-
bility of being rOcaptured.
The causes that have so materially weakened
the institution in the State during the last
twelve months are still at work. and will continue
to operate as long as the war shall last, and at
the end Of the contest we shall find nothing Of
slavery here, but the wasted frame of q moribund
institution from which all energy and all produc-
tive power has fed.-St. Louis Relps.

a Mississippi paper says that there is fearful
scarcity of corn and wheat there. Well if the
rebels can find nothing else TO grind let them
grind their teeth.
The New Orleans Bee says that there is un-
told wealth among the Confederates. II there
is any truth among them, it is certainly untold.
A Northern paper says that Floyd is the 'tnil

Confederacy to be cur-tailed.

AN EXPERIENCE IN THE CARS.

Mr.. S. and Mr.. A. met in the cars. Mr.. s. is
n red faced, portly young man, richly dressed,

demeanor clear evidence of being fast youth.

Young ladies. They are superblY dressed in the
height Of fashion. All three feel aud show their

three arc thus occupying four seats, while sevc-

Travelling blanket Is placed before MIR. s. and

out a paok of cards, aud the three fall to playing
with a will, regardless of the feelings or conve-

Al the snare seat filled with reticules and NUTS.
The game of cards goes on and the minister is
left to stand. Soon the conductor comes along,
gazes a moment at the game, aud the busy play
ers. takes their tickets, and turns to MIR. A. fol
bis Mr.. A. says: Conductor do you not think
had better have that seat?' pointing to tht
seat beside Mr.. S. IF you wish it,, said th'
conductor with a smile as he passed on. MIR. A
at once with cool determination started to taxi
possession, saying to Mr.. S. in a kind but deci-
ded tone, sThe conductor thinks eau have thi

Mr.. S. requested the minister to stop moment
The seat was cleared, the back reversed, and Mr.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN has sometimes very dry
way of s'putting the question Par example.
A Clergyman recently gave the President his
views Of conducting the war and, after talking
Eve minutes, drew up to hear what the President
had to soy.
''Perhaps you had better try to run the ma
chine week." quietly remarked Old Abe.
Another gentleman, after pouring out his walls
of wrath upon Government officer was sur
nrised 10 hear the President quietly remark
"Now, you are just the man I've beea looking
for. want you to give me your advice and tell
me. if you we're in my place and had heard all
you've been telling, and didn't believe word of
it, what would you do 7"

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ARMIES.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN AhMlEn'
! From the Lcndon Times.
The maintenance of an army implies that war
is q contingency to be necessarily hpprehenueu'
and at any moment encountered. Now, II lne
army is maintained in a condition only of half
efficiency, all defects must be supplied IN the
very moment Of trial. not only at every disad-
vantage, but at most enormous expense
America supplies signal illustration Of the
facts. The United States kept neither army nor
navy as they are kept this side of the Atlantic
They saved themselves the cost of such estab-
ishments and what has been the result The
contingency of war has overtaken them also,
despite all their fancied immunities, and they
are now paying for their previous economy by
such an incredible expenditure as the world never
yet witnessed. They are spending every month
on the Federal side alone heentire amount Of our
present army estimates for the year. Having no
trained soldiers, they are compelled TO resort to
unframed volunteers, and to make up in mere
numbers what they lack in disciplined force
The consequence is, that, instead of l45,OOO
men they have 645, 900, and every one of these,
instead Of costing, like the British soldier, elOO
IL year. costs exactly e2O0. IL would have an-
swered their purpose better, as mere pecuniary
speculation, to have spent ElO,OO0,OO0 year
on army estimates for the last twenty years, for
that money would have been periodically voted
and provided, whereas they are now obliged to
pOrroh Ut buch u ruihuus I"te VI ihtOre9t 'u"N
every million of their debt will represent two
millions of ours. Nor is this example without its
supplement in the way of contrast Three
months ago We ourselves appeared TO be on the
eve of war--but what took place As we were
not taken unawares, but had all our preparations
completely made, we sent across the Atlantic at
minutes notice an army SO absolutely efficient
and perfect 10 oil its departments that its con-
dition left nothing to be desired. Tho whole thing
cost us less than million of money, and the war
was saved. There was the true economy of our
modern establishments, and the result may
well serve to reconcile us little to their cost,

A CauEL DIsApporsTMENT. Not very far from
Central New Jersey lived two yonng lawyers.
Archy Brown and Tom Hall. Both were fond of
dropping in at Mr.. Smiths of m evening, and
spending an hour or two with his only daughter
Mary. One evening when Brown and Miss
Mary had discussed almost every topic, Brown
suddenly, and with his sweetest tones, struck out
as folows ''Do you think, Mary, you could
leave your father and mother, your pleasant
home where with al lis ease and comforts, and
go to the far west with young lawyer, who has
but little besides his profession to depend upon,
and with him lind out n new home which il would
