Early yesterday morning, while Justice
Andre WAS arranging his books and remov
ing his hat preparatory to the opening of
the Court, he was accosted by a tall couple
named John and Grace Healy. who were
i'm haste to have articles OF separation
drawn up, in order that the marital relation
between them should be obliterated. The
husband stated that their lives had been a
continual war, and the happiness of both
had been destroyed by the fisticufis and
tongue-lashings, until they had finally de-
termine<l to separate upon conditions which
they would specify. The husband
promised to pay. the woman $40 a month.
for her support "until death" and the vile
promised in return never to bother him.
The Justice informed them that be. could
could grant no divorce, bat anyGprivate
agreement between them he would certify

contented couple left the court.
Before. half nm hour had elapsed, John
returned to his honor with a fresh and

The crowd in the court room burst into
snicker, the judge was placed in dilem-
ma, and the candidates for matrimony
showed signs of great perplexity. The
court had hardly explained its inability to
unite the parties, when the cast-off wife,
with four children hanging TO her skirts,
entered the doorway to watch the progress
of the proceedings. She was perfectly
willing that John should be lost to her SO
ciety, but she was highly incensed at the
idea of his adopting another and better
looking spouse. and if that would be the
result of their agreement, she would de-
mand that II be abrogated. She said she
was the mother of eight children, and five
dollars n week wouldn't 90 around.
All the parties left the court room In dis
gust, the blooming maiden weeping bitterly
over the less of a man who had demonstra-
ted 80 emphatically his ability to make
marriage a family matter. IL
Berlin, the t'arden City Of Germany.
A correspondent from Berlin, Prussia.
writes to Chicago paper as follows:
We call eur own Chicago the "Ciartlen
city" why We do so cannot make out, un-
less the entire absence of them gives us
that privilege, or that we live IN hope that
wa may, in some future day. have them.
Then we can take Berlin for an example. as
she is in all respects entitled to call herself
the ''9arden city" do not think I IN any
way eIaggerate when I state that Berlin
has at least 5000 public gardens, in addi-
ton to which nearly every inanufactory ard
private house has also its own little garden
spots, tastefully arranged with alcoves,
~ o,,l
full OF the most beautiful roses and other
CHOICE fiowers, filling the air with perfume,
and making the heart glad by its surround
ings. The public gardens are laid out in
the most tasteful manner, and in the even
ing when lit up by the various colored gas
lights, tho reflection of. these lights upon
the prisons reminds one of such fairy
scenes as we witness in the "Blsck Crook"
and "White Fawn."
One Of these gardens, and perhaps the
most magnificent one, Is Krolrs, and is be-
yond any description that am able to give

this garden is 6. large theatre, in which. ev-

That over, tho entire band OF about GO per-

from to 10 o'clock in the evening. while the
visitors, who generally number from 6, ZOO

with their families and friends. to listen to
this enchanting music, and take their even-

witness such scenes, you ean not help but
feel that the people here really know how
to, and do, enjoy life much better than we
in America; and, when asked by my Ger
man friend, if we had such gardens and
amusements, felt sad TO think That they
did not exist amongst us. 1 could only an
