auently traced by o person employed TO
watch his footsteps. Last evening he
left his wife at the Metropolitan, with
n promise to returnat an early hour. The
faithful woman waited long and anx-
iously for his football upon the stairs,
hut in vain. At last, weary with wait
inc. she retired. The hours passed
heavily, and brought no rest for the
weary wife. At last, resolving to put
an end to the weary doubts which had
narrowed her life for the past few weeks,
she rose, dressed herself, and passing
noiselessly down the stairs, glided out
into the darkness, determined to know
the worst which fate had in store for
her. The cold wind swept up from the
lake, whistling down the street, chill
ing the belated traveller, but the in
iured wife felt it not. Her blood was
coursing madly through every artery,
and the night winds only subdued the
intense fever which was consuming her.
Arriving at the corner of Randolph
and Clark streets, she met an officer OF
the police, and to him she stated her
mission, and requested his protection.
Together they went the Merchants
Hotel, and asked the night clerk to
show them to the room occupied by the
lady in whose embraces the delinquent
husband was supposed to be.
The officers went up, accompanied by
Mrs. He, and raped at the door. No
answer was returned. Other raps foi-
lowed in rapid succession, until most OF
the sleepers upon that floor crawlcd
from their beds in amazement.
The officer then mounted chair, and
looking over the transum light saw the
two in a whispering consultation. See
ing that they were discovered, they de-
manded to know what was wanted. The
officer replied that he wanted them to
como out. This they refused to do,
when the officer sat down, with tho re-
mark that they must come out some
time, and that he should stay there until
thew did. This cool resolve brought the
gentleman to his senses, and he rushed
to the door with boot drawn back over
his head, and made a rush to overpower
the officer, at the same time threaten
ing to make short work with him. Ihey
grappled, and while they clinched,
he called for the lady inside to
hand him his revolver, which she refus-
ed to do. His wife, who had been
standing by, expressed herself satisfied
with the proof, and the officer with
drew, and the disturbed parties retired.
About eight o'clock this morning Mr..
He came down and passed out.
We learn that he came to the Mer-
chants Hotel last evening and engaged
lodgings, registering his name as c. IL.
Smith. He was assigned to room 81 in
the upper story, from which he must
have descended to the room of the frail
equestrienne, which is No. 13 first floor.
The case is creating vast excitement
in the circles in which the respective
parties move, but elicits no surprise, as
their relations have long been sus-
pected.
Mrs. He, we learn, will apply for a
divorce Immediately.

SCANDAL in England has received q
choice bit of encouragement by the
elopement of a clergyman's daughter
with her fathers groom, from the neigh
borhood of Faringdon. in Berkshire. 1t
appears that the Ilady was the only
daughter of the Rev. K. Rice, who for
some years past has been the rector of
Eaton Hastings, and the groom was a
young fellow named Ralph, and had
been in Mr.. Rice's service as groom. On
Monday week Mr.. Rice accused his
daughter (23 years of age) of being
enciente, and she admitted the fact,
her paramour being Ralph. An
alteration arose between the rector
and Ralph, and the latter con-
Quoted himself in such violent way
that Mr.. Rice deemed it expedient TO
communicate with the superintendent
of the constabulary. In the afternoon
a police constable was dispatched to the
rectory, and after some conversation
with Mr.. Rice they proceeded up stairs
to the bedroom of the young lady, but
found her door locked. The door was
thereupon burst open. and the rector
and the police officer then made the dis
covery that Miss Rice had left the prem
ises, and that Ralph was not to be
found. Inquiries were at once set ON
foot, and it was ascertained that Miss
Rice had eloped with her deceiyer. Il,

NEW ARTILLERY.
From the London Times, Sept. II.

From the London Times, Sept. II. f.
That the strongest ironclad afloat might
be sent % the bottom as easily as n wooden
frigate Is now fact about which it Is hardly
possible TO entertain a doubt A target with
greater resisting powers than the broadside
OF auv iron-cascd frigate or the turret Of any
monitor has been completely sma she'd by a
particular kind OF shot fired from particu.
lar kind Of gun, and that gun and that sbo,
are OF British make and invention. II is Of
equal Importance 10 observe that the gun
which has proved so irresistible Is not piece
Of 10Y prodigious calibre or impracticable
weight but only such gun IS could be car
ried and worked in a ships broadside.-
Whereas, too, it is scarcely credible that any
ship could be sent to sea with thicker or
more ponderous armor than was represented
in the target demolished, II is very credible
indeed that the calibre, charge, and powder
Of the gun might be increased, SO that the
essential question between ships and guns
may be regarded as settled. That Is the
conclusion forced upon us by the results Of
the remarkable experiments just reported
from Shoeburyness
The target exposed to FIRE on this occasion
was built up of Is inches Of teak, and this
compact mass OF woodwork was covered In
front with solid plates of rolled iron eight
inches thick, and strengthened at the back
by an inner skin Of iron three quarters of an
inch thick. Altogether, therefore, this i'm
aginary ships broadside was about two feet
three inches in thickness that Is, about ms
thick as the wall Of an old Norman castle,
while the materials were hard teak and solid
iron, instead Of ashler and rubbIe. II castles
In fact had been built In such fashion,
they would have remained up to our own
day as impregnable 10 artillery as they origi-
inally were TO bows and arrows. Neverthe.
theless, when gun described de- the nine
inch muzzle-l loading wrought iron woolwich
rifle gun was trained against this target and
fred with charge of 54lb. shell Of Major
Palisser's chilled metal, the effect was decis-
i've. The proiectile, we are told, "went clean
through everything, plate, backing, and in
ner skin, and lodged itself, after exploding
In some timber. about twenty feet behind
the target" Anything more crushing,"--
1t is added, "than the shock of this missile
Il would be difficult to conceive, for II struck
full upon one Of the vertical parts OF the
target, and tore its way through as If only
opposed by timber screen" a repetition
Of the experiment did but confirm the re-
Suits and the main fact, therefore, Is placed
beyond the reach of doubt

SAVING HIS BsccS.--A good story Is told

gress, whose neighbor was in the habit of
stealing his hogs, and was finally caught in
the act. Anxious to secure the mans tote
and his own pork at the same tinie; The
farmer went to him and said! "Now, I make
this proposition: II You will let my hogs
alone in the future, viii not only say moth
ing Of the past but when kill In the fail,
I'll put into your cellar i've barrels Of a
good pork as maize" The fellow reflected
Ii moment and replied: swell, Sqdire; that's
fair proposition, any how; and seeing ss
it's you III do IL. But / vow I believe
shall lose pork by the operation.
