Hassan was not a man to be trif1ed with

handed him the key. He rushed to the
chest, and tore open the lid. There was

pride in a beautiful garden which Is attached
to their house Since Jeff. and his family

strOycd this garden, by tearing down bcauti-
full trees, trampling over flower beds, etc.
much to the annoyance of all the family
About two weeks ago, however, Mrs.

stances are as follows Jefferson Davis, Jr.

A"H HANDY" JUsTIcE OF THE PEACE.-Be-
fore a Justice in Newark on Tuesday man
and his wife applied to grant them divorce.
Acting upon the theory that he had the
power to marry he must also have the power
to divorce, the accommodating Justice read
ily granted their request, and was made hap
py bv receiving fee for the service. On w ed
nesdav the same man entered the Justices
Office in company with young girl, to whom
the Justice married him. Later in the day
the divorced woman also called upon the
magistrate with man, to whom she WAS
married by the Justice. Thus the magis-

The reader who * acquainted with Nath-
anicl llawthornc's delightful Twice Told
Tales, may bear in mind "A curious little
sketch included among them, and called
Wakefield. = In some old magazine or news
paper, wrote Hawthorne, - rccollcct a
story, told as truth, of a man-lct us call
him W Wakefeld-who abScnted himself for a
long time from his wife The fact, the
writer goes ON to say, thus abstractly stated
not to be regarded as of any uncommon
kind, nor, without proper distinction of
circumstances, to he condemned either as
naughty nonscnsical. The case in ques-
tion, however, he considered To be, though
far from the most aggravated, yet perhaps
the strongest record of marital delinquency,
and. moreover, remarkable freak as
could be found in the whole list of human
oddities.
The story referred to was first published
in the year 1918, in book called Political
and Literary Anecdotes of his Own Time
by Doctor William King, Principal of St.
Mary Hall, Oxon. Doctor Kings Anecdotes,
it may be noted are chiefly memorable from
the fact that they contain an interesting
record of the secret visit to London paid by
Prince Charles Edward, the Pretender, in
the month September, 1850. and his pres
cnce in the house of Lady Primrose, where,
indeed. Doctor King had an interview with
bCON eAiN
Doctor tells the story of g the man who alb
scnted himselffora long time from his wife >;
that man not having any real right to the
cognomen of Wakefield with which Haw-
thorne endowed him for his proper name
was Howe. We Will proceed to put our
readers in possession of the facts of the case
as they are set forth by Doctor King.
Mr. Howe is described as a sensible, we'll
natured man, with an estate of some seven
or eight hundred pounds year, united to a
young lady of agreeable person and manners,
and in every respect an excellent wife, who
came of good family in the West of Eng
land, and whose maiden name was Mallet
Two children were born of this marriage,
neither of whom, however, lived to attain
the age of fifteen. Doctor King seems to
have known Mr.. and Mrs. Howe about the
year l7O6. f.
We pause moment to state that the
Doctors Anecdotes were not published until
long after his death, which happened IN
1863. They were written. nevertheless, 1t
is evident, with view to publication In a
preface he states that he was in his seventy
sixth year at the time Of his jotting down
the notes memoranda, and detached pieces
which constitute his book. Most of the An
ec,iotes, he affirmed, were derived from his

again, but nearer; then it was repeated at
intervals. nearer and louder: when finally
the bold captain emerged from bit of
woods near the camp, running at the top of
his speed. without a hat coat In
he came to camp, shouting, &" Here We

himself at the edge of the woods. took =
long look at the camp, and then with
growl at missing his expected meal off the
captain, disappeared in the woods again.
But why didn't you shoot the bear, and
then bring him in?" inquired one.
Whats the use in shooting your game"
said the captain, testify. when you can
bring him in alive as [ did?
The story got home before the captain
did, and was in everybody's mouth. The
other night, as the captain led his intended
bride into the church, with the pride and
grace so readily inspired by the occasion,
some wicked wag sang out from the gallery:
" Here We come F."
Which was followed by such a shout of
laughter as that old church never heard
before.

of a. few weeks, last June he found that straw
stack had tipped over, and it thought that
some hogs that were i'll the habit OF frequontiny
the stack might have been buried beneath it,
Nothing, however was done with it until week
or two sgo, when the straw Vas removed to re-
lease some poles that had been covered by the fall
of the stack. When near the bottom u hog WIS
heard to grunt underneath and the straw was
quickly removed from the place indicated, wher
a live hog was found, imprisoned in the space
beside pole, giving just sufficient room for the
animal TO stand on its knees and to move forward
and backward about half its length. The hog
had been under that straw more than three
months, with no drink, no food but rye straw.
and not even room to stand up. The animal
was taken out and let go, when it ran few stems
and fell down. 1t appeared blinded by the light.
was very thin and weak, and was bleached as
white as snow. 1t made no attempt to eat. and
appeared to know use for food or drink 1t
was attacked by the qSher hogs and had to be
removed to a separate enclosure where it re-
manned in a sort of imbecie condition for about
a week, eating nothing whatever. Mr. Atwater
then poured some milk down its throat, after
which it began 20 revive, and finally commenced
