his bed, assumed to be his wife, and un-
doubtedly performed the arduous duties OF
wife. Her name was Mary Mccarthy.
AS from continual use men will tire of
the sweetest and most luscious Viands, so
Tony Delight finally tired of the charms of
Mary Mccarthy. His mind Ionged for 9th.
er conquests. Love died out as novelty
vanished, the beautiful girl was discarded,
the dream of month ended 10 ignominy
and disgrace.
Ii would be as useless to bid the light
nings cease to fash, as to command Delight
to abstain from fiirtatiOns, adventures and
intrigues with women. His passions are
like Niagara's roaring cataract, and it
would be madness to attempt to check
them.
Ere the old loves place by his side had
become cold, a new star was fixed upon.
The form, the features, the entire tout en-
sem6Ee of Miss Nellie FarnswOrth pleased
and captivated the dashing barber. Tony
Delight used all his arts to please this new
found paragon. A young heart futtered
at his approach, rosy cheeks blushed crim-
son at his fattery, the touch of his soft
hand was like a shock of electricity
"Eyes looked love to eyes that spAke again,
And all went merry as a marriage bell"
The friends Of Miss FarnsWorth, however,
opposed any alliance with a barber-the
tonsorial profession was beneath the digni-
ty of their family. 1t is proverb as true
as it is old, that love will go wherever it is
sent. The opposition of relatives only
famed the already dangerous flame. She
was forced into a convent. Tony Delight
stole her away from her seclusion, and for
weeks kept her away from friends in quiet
boarding house on the West Side. But she
given to the contemplated marriage-the
only difficulty being the fact that Delight
was already married. A divorce suit was
commenced. Nellie Farnsworth was re-
moved TO Madison, Wisconsin, and it was
arranged that as soon as the divorce was
granted the marriage ceremony should be
performed. Time brought about the de.
sired result The twain which had been
made one flesh and from which had sprung
two promising daughters, were separated.
In the meantime, a spirited correspondence
had been kept up between the lovers, and
Delight bad forwarded money TO purchase
the wedding garments in which his insm-
orata was to be made his wife.
Three weeks ago the Chicago barber left
this city, and proceeded to Madison, ex-
pectiDg to be welcomed with such gush-
ing display of affection as was never wit
preparations had been made for the Occa-
sion. All the perfumeries of his barber
shop were brought into requisition; dia-
monds flashed upon his breast and on his
fugers-aud nothing which money could
purchase was neglected in the adornmeuI
of his person.
he arrived at Madison at night, and, TO
his horror, found that his intended bride
had been a married woman for II hours
The bridal dress upon her back. the shoes
and hose upon her feet, the fan in her hand,
the diamonds upon her fingers, the very
underclothiug with which she welcomed
to her arms Joseph Goodrich her husband,
was bought by Tony Delight How the
change was accomplished, no one knows.
1t is believed that letters were intercepted
and others put in their place, which indu-
ced Miss FarnsWorth to break the engage
ment. Be that as it may, the deed was
done, there was no undoing it, and Delight
returned to this city, frustrated for the first
time in his life.
Some time since Miss Cynthiana Farms
worth, mother of Nellie Farnsworth, insti-
tuted a charge of adultery against Delight
and others. The conspiracy case was dis
posed of on Thursday, before Justice Stan
ford, by the discharge of all the parties.
II was charged that the conspiracy con-
sisted in combined plot to release Nellie
FArnsworth from the convent, but there
was no proof to sustain the charge.
The adultery case was also dismissed by
Justice Mcdonnell on Friday. There was
no proof of marriage, no proof that the
woman in Dubuque and the one on Wa
bash avenue we're not the came, and no
proof, other than appearances, that the
actual crime of adultery had been commit
ted at all.
Thus ends an interesting local romance.
1t has furnished food tor gossipping old
women, and tattling young maids, and
edited the vitiated class wto crave for
anything vulgar, unseemIy and unnatural.
Nellie Farnsworth is blushing bride, and
Tony Delight still wears the same old
smile, and TO look at him one would hardly
believe that he had so recently suffered
such a sore disappointment.
