Matrimonial InfelicitIes.

We do not refer to a book with the
above title recently published. 1t may
be very readable volume, but we are in
no wise indebted to it for the facts of an
infelicity OF matrimonial kind that is re-
ported to have occurred in the land of
wooden nutmegs not great while ago.
A fellow was sent to the Connecticut
penitentiary the matter of twelve years
since, but whether for murder, horse steal
ing, or forgery, is not at all worth men
tioning, as his connection with this histo-
ry ends with his being sent to the States
prison. He was married, and by the
laws of that State, as of other States, the
fact of husbands going to the penitentiary
in the unfortunate capacity of perma-
nent boarder furnishes sufficient ground
for divorce. In this instance the wife,
supposing she was divorced without fur
ther ceremony or legal proceedings, mar
ried again. We are not informed wheth-
er she took the stepat once, or waited until
she was in that transition state when Unit
igated mourning goods are donned by
the sex to show the abatement of grief.
At any rate she married again. Her ex-
perience, however, with husband No. 2
was not pleasant Infelicities of one kind
and another sadly disturbed the connu-
bial state, and the yoke became calling to
such degree that she could have resigned
No. to the penitentiary with commend
able fortitude. But as this husband was
not disposed to sacrifice himself to that
extent they appeared in court one day
and begged the judge to make twain the
one fesh-in other words, to take the
sword of justice and cut the bonds that
bound them together, or something to that
effect. At this stage of the proceedings,
the circumstances Of their marriage
were related, and the discovery made
that they had not been lawfully
married; SO of course they could not be
divorced Here, one would naturally
think, was cause for rejoicing. But the
boon they had sought, now that it was
bestowed upon them, was considered Of
no value; and instead of going their sew
eral ways in all the Independence of single
blessedness, they were more unhappy than
ever. Shakespeare says What Won
derful thing is mani" meaning woman TOO.
The actions Of people under peculiar cir
| cumstances are unaccountable and unex-
plainable. This miserable couple, who but
a short time before were anxious to be di-
vorced, now that their eyes were opened
to the fact that they had never been mar
ried, suddenly took itinto their headstO get
married for good, and accordingly had
the knot tied, legally. What became of
them afterwards we knew not. Our duty
| as journalist ends here.

it. He might differ with some of his friends

Virginia DeIegation.

WASHINGTON, February I0.-The delega-
tion from the Virginia Legislature, entrust-
ed with delivering to the President of the
United States the resolutions from the Cen
ersl Assembly endorsing his policy, were
received this morning. Mr.. Baldwin read
the resolutions and followed them with an
address to the President expressive of the
firm will Of Virginia TO stand by the prin-
eiples they declare, and to afford hearty
cooperation with the President in his wise
and just policy. He declared that the peo-
pie of Virginia and her representatives ae-
cept the power of the contest and will in
good faith do the part required of them.
They recognized the Government of the
United States as their government, its Cen
stitution their Constitution, the duties it re-
quires their duties, and the rights it prom
ises their rights. In speaking of the freed
men, he. said the people of Virginia had no
feeling but that of the kinGest sympathy
and good will, and to treat them with in
justice would be as much opposed to their
feelings as to their interests.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Baldwin's re-
marks the President responded, thanking
them for the compliment and expressing the
qualification he felt at meeting so many in
teIligent, responsible and respectable men
from Virginia.

in another State, and Sl96.O00 of the money
recovered, being abOEt twO-thirds of the
total amount stolen. The money recovered
has been paid over to the President of the
Bank. 1t is believed that three persons
were concerned in the robbery, and the
third person Is still at large; but he is
known and will probably be arrested For
prudential reasons the circumstances con-

are for the present withheld from publica-
