residing at the corner of Elm and Mcwhortcr
sueets, whose name is Mrs. Whittinger, has
been employed for several months TO do the
washing at the house OF Carl Trantz, 63 Broom
street. Mrs. Trantz noticed that her husband
was much pleased with the widow, but did not
dream OF such q serious state of affairs as the
sequal gave evidence of. Recently, however
she learned that he was visiting the widow at
her home. Of course Mrs. TrantZ upbraitled
MN. During the quarrel, which was on Tues
day, he declared that he would leave her and
'cleave unto the washwoman." She told him
to clear out and take the three children With
him. He did so, even taking the youngest who
was but ten months old. Yesterday morning
she caused the arrest of her husband on charge
OF assault and battery. When arraigned before
the Justice he said he was willing to give up the
children to his wife; 80 they were brought from
the widows and given back to the mother The

Pits MS SUCCEssOR.-About the time the

The idea that the Pope intended the council of
bishops assembled in Rome 10 have any voice i'm
the election OF his successor is erroneous. None
but the dignitaries composing the College of
Cardinals have any right % vote for the election
OF Pope, but they might have carried out the
Holy Fathers wishes by declaring his successor
openly and by acclamation in the presence of
that mighty assembly OF a thousand prelates
gathered from all quarters Of the earth.

Hoes WANT SULPHUE.-whether hogs require
sulphur as an essential to their health or
whether 1t is sought by them as a condiment,
may not be known for certainty. But one thing
Is sure, they devour it with greed whenever il Is
to be found 1t is for this purpose, probably,
that they eat large quantities of soft coal which
contains large amount of sulphur. Perhaps
this is the most economical method Of supplying
hogs with sulphur during the winter, when they
require good deal Of carborn. But in the sum-
mer it is better to feed il TO them in substances
which contain less carbon, on account Of their
producing less heat. Mustard is one OF the best
things for this purpose, and on that account
some Of it should be sown in every pasture into
which the hogs are turned. If hogs are kept up,
or are In small yards, il Is well 20 supply them
highways, or to cultivate some OF the better
varieties for them. They win eat its leaves,
flowers, seeds and dstalks.-Praiyie Farmer

ended in compromise. The Collector, in
note to the editor Of the Republican, says: "My
attention has been called to some structures in

disposal Of the patronage Of the Custom House.
Some Democrats have been and are now in the
Custom House, but, as fast as the interests of

CASE OF GEORGE s. .AYRR.-After the exami-
nation OF the case Of George 8. Ayre, for the
killing Of DR.. Oliver, at Charlottesville, Va, the
decision of the Court, without dissent, was that
Mr. Ayre should be committed to await the ac-
ton Of the grand jury. The question of bail
was then argued, and bail was granted, (Justice
Goodyear dissenting.) 1t was fixed at the sum
of $4,000. During the examination of the case
it was stated that Oliver was what is called ga
practical mesmerizer," )" and it was proved by the
family ply sician and by the young lady that she
oath what she had told the physician before,
that Dr. y. was the author of her ruin. The
general character of the young lady and her
and 1t 'is thought by those who know her and
her standing that her fall could only have been
brought about by the use Of exciting drugs.

that the case OF the Alabama is the only piausi-

to the Union cruiser for permitting her to es-
