WELCOMED AFTRR.A LONG "A BsENuE.
"A former resident of this city, John
keefer by hume, who has been absent
for n number of years, recently returns
ed. His wife lives in town, and he
went to see her, not straight as q dutI-
ftil husband should, but IN a meandetl
ing sort of a way. ~.
Having grown fastidiOus while he
was away, things didn't altogether
please him at home. So he expressed
his displeasure in a manner entirely
regardless of Wifely feelings. Mrs. x.
therefore had him arrested and brought
before the Police Court yesterday
morning. l-f lE Ctf.AEil3tSf
The case WA called, and Mr.. K, be-
ing hard of hearing, replied to the
Judges reiterated Inquiries that he was
not ready for. trial. The. reason was
thathe wanted legal advice! Time was
accordingly given him TO procure
lawyer. And one being sent for, the
time previous to his arrival was em-
plOyed by keeter and his friends In
compromising matters between him and
his wife. a
Finally, when the lawyer arrived, he
learned there was nothing for him to
DO, Mrs. \, declining, 70 prosecute far
Their on condition that her lord and
master should pay costs, which he
0heerfnlly did.
odicer brady now informed him and
the witnesses that they must all 20 be-
fore Justice Johnson. The party 40
Cordingly proceeded in BODY to the
office of this indefNtigable gentleman.
who, afoeE consultation with Mrs. n,
informed John that he would be OBLIGED
TO give security to keep the peaCe OF
take an oath to refrain from intoxicat-
ing liquors for the space OF two years.
and never, during the rest of his natur-
nj life, appear In his Wtfels presence
while under their influences. This was
little too much for John, anxious az
he was to get out of trouble. BE OBJ
jected stoutly. to being compelled to re-
frain from quenching his thirst for two
long years. His throat might crack
with dryness. he might peEjure him
self. In short heswould do anything
but that. Mrs. X. was then prevailed
on TO limit the time OF abstinence to one
year, when John solemnly sWora to
drink no mora for one year-tO- come,
and never so help him God, to appear
before his wife in, a state of elevated
feeling. wtia u

times. is the most quiet individual on
top of ground. So great is his reticence
genefally that It may well be dOubted
then whether he was ever born of wO-
man. But the fact that he has n tonpue
and Proclivities common to men, be-
comes patent when he has been visiting
Captain Whisky. He then appears the
noisieSt Of human beings, and is posi-
lively certain to disturb the peace and
quiet Of the city with his braWling.,
Recently James was out visiting, and

uORAL AEFORM IN NEW YORK,

The laws Of every Government provide
severe penalties for the crime Of bribery, and
the penalties arc Incurred as we'll By those
who give as those who accept the brlbe-
Such laws are to be found on the statute
book Of ercr5 State In this country. The
State Of New York, however, = year aco
took .tcp In advance of any other, and
made II penal offence TO bribe ANY member
ofa political nominating Convention, OF 3
voter nj any primary meeting. The exact
motive for this Law docs not appear. A
party Convention Is not an official body,
nevertheless the Legislature intcrposcd its
!. authority and provided for the fine and I'M
prisonmtnt Of any csudldatn who may bribc
member Of such Convention 10 yote for
him. This law Is peculiarly hard uton the
politicians In New York CITY, where, owing
to the past preponderanee OF the Demo-
cratic party, regular nominations are equiy,
.alent to elections. Tbs Conventions being
composed Of only thirty or forty persons IN
each district, all that a candidate has to do Is
to secure the votes of majority Of this small
I number ol delegates, and his election follows.
We suppose tho Legislature acted npon the
| principle that as the nominations were Ia
tact the elections, they should be recognized
| as such. and therefore they should be kept
pure and bribery prohibited.
An attempt has been made to enforce thlt
law at Brooklyn. and has produced the ut
