A BOGUS CORPSE.
The Wife of a Doctor Practices a Marvel
GUS lmposture.

The New York Sun says DR.. Dyrus
Ramsay, of 2l5 East Thirteenth
street, distinguished physician, has
been made the victim Ofan astonishing
swindie. Two or three years ago he
was called to attend a beautiful and
educated woman living in the BOwcry.
He found her in INDECENT cireum-
stances, residing on the top floor of a
tenement house. Her condition WAS
precariOus, and it needed all his skill
10 save her. During her sickness DR..
Ramsay, then bachelor, fell in love
with her, and when she recovered he
took her to live with him as his house
keeper. 500 thereafter she be ane
his wife. Their house was elegantly
furnished.
A time came when the doctor
looked about for a permanent and
profitable investment for his money,
of which he had now many thousands
in a savings bank. His wife suggest
ed the purchase of the house in which
they were living, and an adjoining
one, together with the ground on
which the buildings stood. NegOtia-
tiOns were opened for that purpose.
llE WIG GAulDiAGd lAlC lbOol NdA DCSN
solicitude on the subject, and eventu
ally prevailed upon the owners of the
property to sell it. When the deeds
came TO be made out she prevailed
upon her husband to have the prop
erty decided in her name, to meet the
event of his ever getting into disas-
trOus speculation. Accordingly the
property was decided in her name.
About a month afterwards the wife
complained that her health was bad,
and that change of climate was alb
solutely necessary. After many
roundabout proceedings she arranged
to go TO Cuba, for the benefit of her
health, sailing in September last. The
doctor did not go with her, his prac-
tice not permitting. The wife was ac-
companied by her mother.
October came, and with it letter
informing the doctor that his wife
was dead. He sent for her body and
got it.
When the mother returned from
Cuba, and the body had been inferred
in Greenwood, a lawyer appeared on
the scene, and informed the physician
that his wife had made a will. The
doctor was amazed; and what was his
astOnishment to learn that half of his
property had been willed to his wife's
mother. Need it be added that
trouble ensued? But of what avail?
Suffice it that the doctor was COM
PEELED to surrender half his property.
The mother has taken possession of
the house adjoining the doctors, and
is keeping first-clasS private board
ing-hOuse. The doctor has, within a
few days, had his suspicious awakened
that his wife is not dead; that the
body which came from Havana was
an imposture. Consequently the in
tered remains may be taken up this
week.

NASHVILLE, December z5'
Bank of Tennessee money, the value
of which was considerably increased
because of the legal process lately
served on a Davidson county officer
requiring such money TO be taken for
taxes, has deprecated somewhat since
that officers announcement that he
should decline to receive such notes
except in cases where required to do
so by the courts. Then State paper
went up to seventy-five cents, but IS
to-day weak at sixty-fve. The Sec
retary of State surges no objection to
receiving Bank Of Tennessee money
for taxes, regarding the p)intas finally
settled by the decree of the United
