The Price of a. Wife.

The recent trial and decision of an aris-
tocratic divorce case in London illustrates
how differently these matters are managed
in England and this country. The par
ties, plaintiff and defendant, were men of
the highest social position, and officers in
her Magisty's Oxford Blues. Captain
Westcar took possession of the pretty
wife of Major Maxwell. Major Maxwell
placing, we think, too high a valuation
upon worthless wife, sued for a divorce,
and claimed damages for the wrong which
he sustained to the amount of one hundred
thousand dollars The defendant took
matters coolly, telling his counsel that che
was used to that sort of thing and did not
mind it." The jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff, and gave fifty thousand dol
lars with costs. AS the income of the
defendant was thirty five thousand dollars
per anuum he trenched somewhat upon
his property, paid the amount, and retains
the majors wife. There were no pistols,
no boweknives, and no guns heavily
charged with buckshot A wife and
some fifty thousand dollars changed
hands, and thus it all ended. The English
are commercial and practical people
very. But the price of unfaithful wives
in that civilized and favored land is uu-
reasonably high. The market rules"
higher than in New York and Boston

A writer in the New York Observer
gives the following amusing and novel
plan of curing baulkly horse "The way
to cure baulky horses is to take them from
the carriage and whirl them rapidly round
till they are giddy. 1t requires two men
to accomplish this, one at the horses head,
the other at his tail. Don't let him step
out. Hold him to the smallest possible
circle. One dose will often cure him /;
two doses generally will, and three doses
is final with the worst horse that ever re-
fused to stir. I've seen very baulky
horse started of lively as lark, by mere
ly having the remedy talked Of Try it"

Mr.. s. w. Sullivan and three others engaged
in the construction of a dwelling house for L.
Il. Rickenbakcr, and had it raised, and under
cover, though not wcathcr-Loardcd, for want of
material. At midday on Tuesday last, they
were eating dinner inside the frame, under
cover Of tho roof; when n sudden gust Of wind
eames Up, and without giving the party any
warning. blew the frame to the cartl, in few
seconds The timbcrs fell all around them,
and the shingling covered them up, so that
some had to be drawn out by tho ncighbors,
who came to their assistance; yet strange to
say, none were seriously hurt, and only ono of
the four was much bruised from the accident.
