papers make much Of ii, people talk il
over gleefuIly, and We triumph over TIE
world. Chicago has produced a young
woman, who, in order to obtain divorce
from her husband, aud get handsome
sum as alimony with her freedom, has de-
liberately published her own mother as an
adulteress, and with nice detail of time
and place, fixed the occasions closely az
possible, VIXEN her husband bestowed upon
her mother those delicate attentions
and tender caresses, which she deems should
have been hers alone. The husband thus
compromised is Mr.. Il. L. Quimby, for
merly commission merchant here, now
in the real estate business. The mother
is Mrs T. Reynolds. The wife who de-
nounces them, Mrs. Gertrude a. Quimby.
Il is to be hoped that there are few daugh
ters who would not prefer sacrifice Of !,
their feelings to almost any extent, rather
than make such an abomBiable expose as
this. Her allegations, that even on her
bridal tour her husband left her bed to gor
to that Of her mother, rather begets dis
gust for all concerned than sympathy for
her.

Rev. Mr. Everts mathematics that of the
former class. 1t interests their respective
audiences, gets into the papers and makes
them conspicuous, and is liked by every
body except the reporters, who are thor
oughly Disguised with the whole matter.
Speaking Of reporters, by the way,
three of the Republican boys have large
double sleepingroom in the Young Mems
Christian Association building. In that
building grim virtue sits supreme, with
Rev. D. l.. Moody as her pet hand-uaiden.
Reporters labor often until very late at
night, ani consequently slumbcr late in
the morning. What cares Moody for
such things? lie scorns the promptings
of the flesh as regards slumber or any
thing else. Ala frightfully early hour
