Henry A. Wise.


Henry A. Wise delivered violent
speech at Alexandra on last Saturday
He declared that he was not 8 traitor.
that he had made no confession, that he
would never take the test-oath and that
no power could make him leave Virginia
these and many other declarations he
made in the real old Southern style. fiery,
ranty. insane. The war ended too soon
for the case of Wise. During the whole
four year. OF the beating process not a
grain of sense was pounded into his
crazy old head At home quiet or noisy
in Brazil he wouldn't be worth consider
alton: but as the original Henry A. Wise
in Virginia, spouting treason as briskly
as ever he ought to be choked off, sup
pressed without benefit OF clergy or ha-
beas corpus. He is too crazy to hang
and too reasonable to keep at large
confine him in an insane asylum.

Trembling where feet of mortal n'er yet had been
Wrapped in the radiance of Thy snless hand

From Angels lips seem to bear the flow

When airs from Paradise re.rsh brow

A NICE COMMENT ON DIvoRcEs-Son

A NICE COMMENT ON DIvoRCEs.-Some
parts of the country, as is known, do
wholesale business in divorces, and with
ont much rhyme or reason. The loose
manner in which they are granted Is of
ten the subject of much comment, but
the strangeSt case we ever heard OF is
the following reported in the Louisville
Courier of the 9th inst; the divorce
took place at New Albany, Indiana:
:. A divorce was granted. among many
others, in the case of Mccartney vs..
Mccartney. but neither Of the parties
knew anything of the pendency of the
suit: neither of them were present when
the decree was rendered, and only learn
ed through their friends that their mari
tai bonds were sundered. They are,
and have been, living together most hap
PLY. entirely satisfied with each other.
and are strongly disposed to demur to
the singular and summary process by
which their happy relations were dis
solved How the case got into court is
entirely unknown TO the parties, but it IS
supposed TO be the work OF some mad
Joker or envious Benedict. OF course
the parties will have to get married
again or procure a reversal OF the de
cree This is another and forcible IL
iustration of the loose manner in which
the divorce business is managed in In

SUCCESSFUL FoRGERY.-A special dispatch frS m
Washington to the st, Louis Democrat, under d lte
of the 2Sth ult., says:
An exceedingly adroit forgery was perpetrs tied
on the navy department few days ago. A man
dressing himself purser in the navy, proc ured
the signature of Secretary Welles to vouf ;hers
bearing the forged signature of the captan L and
purser of the vessel to which he claimed to bf ong,
apon which he obtained q treasury arrs mt for
| fifty thousand dollars, payable at Philad ephia.
After receiving the warrant he went to Fl ailadel-
phia and instead of going to the assstas t treas
urer upon whom it was drawn and W here he
would have beenrequired to have proved MS iden-
tity, he presented himself, dressed in the uniform
of purser, with tin cash box mari led A. R.
| Allen purser, u S. navy, at the counte r of the
First National Bank, w1ere he was pei mitted to
deposit the warrant with two or u lree thou
sand dollars in small currency stahi lg that he
wanted it very soon for disbursement The bank
fell into the trap and allowed him the next day to
draw out the whole fiftytwO or hty-tm zee thousand
dollars. When Purser Aliens aeeoun came back
to the treasury to be audited, it vas thought
strange that SO large an amount shoU Id have been
drawn at one time, and Mr.. Allen fas written to
for an explanation of the subject when it was
discovered that the whole proce eding was a
swindle. The loss will fall upon : he bank which
paid the warrant, the sharper hay ing meanwhile
decamped for parts unknown.
