fond OF playing billiards, but had no vices
Ills family was always well provided for, and
no man seemed to be more attached to his wife
and child than he. His father placed the ut
most reliance upon him. and made him his con-
ndant IN all business matters, and never sup
posed that he could be guilty of mean or dis.
honorable act OF any nature. He was reared
IN a1luence and tenderness, was an excellent
Scholar, and originally intended for one of the
learned professions, but his fathers extensive
business and acquaintance with the leading
men OF the country, offered inducements for

refuse to loan him almost any amount of mo-

tastes were, however, a little more extravagant
Pretty waiter girls are extravagant articles to
trlfie with, and have a penchant for diamond

~ to himself, probably remembering the adage
OF telling the character of a man bv the com
pany he keeps. Jenkins kept very bad com

sunday morning at Jefferson Market police

abandonment of his wife an accomplished Ia.
dy from Washington, who confronted him as
complainant, while Mrs. Emily Florence Eli
OFT, OF Niagara, Canada West, the wife of Ma
Jor Fitzgerald, of the British Army, also ap-
peared as G--s mistress. Justice Led
with required the accused to find $500 bail to
appear for trial at the Coua of Special Ses-
sions. il appears to have been a con-
summate rake. He was the son of a wealthy |
merchant OF New York, and married lady in
high position: On account of his bad conduct
ms father dlsinherited him, when he went to
Canada and succeeded in gaining the affec, |

the case Il the tickle husband will promise to
return to her and amend his future life
ADDRESS OF Gov. HAMILTON, OF Texas
In an address which Provisional Governor
Hamilton, of Texas, delivered to the people At
houston on the 2Sth ult., he warned them
against cherlshing the idea that when thev had
once more got their civil government in onera-
ton they could restore slavery, and against
attempting to frame a constitution or enact
laws punlshIng negroes for any offences from
the penalties of which white persons are ex.
empted, or imposing burdens on the one race
which the other is not compelled to bear. At
the same time he said that the blacks had
enough to attend to for the present to let the
question Of voting alone.
