CRIME.


Our readers viii remember sad case OF suicide
at Media, Pa, recently reported in our columns
The suicide was a woman who had been married
by one James DOughcrty, and been subsequently de-
serted by him. He had taken with him several
years Of toll by his wife as servant before he mar
ried her.
Dougherty came to New Castle IN this State, and
married young woman with whom he sailed on a
bridal tour to Boston, the expense being of course
borne by his real wife's money. When the know
ledge of his actions came to his wife, she inmed-
ately took dose OF poison from the effects of which
she died.
Dougherty was not heard of for some time after
wards but for some time past has been skulking
about Chester, Pa. AS the second marriage took
place in this State, it against laws the crime
was committed. Mayor Valentine hearing of his
Whereabouts, issued warrant for his arrest He
accordingly arrested suspicion by the Chester
police, and subsequently transferred to the officers
of this city. He had a hearing before Mayor Valen-
tine on Thursday, and was held to bail in the sum
of $1,000 to answer the charge, and in default was
sent yesterday 10 New Castle jail to await his trial.

The EOlIieS OF BeuutN-The Loves OF London
Belle.
From the LiUe1poOL Mercury
An eX-M. p, who is large landed proprietor in
Yorkshire, Il man of great wealth, and connected
with several arstocratic families, has recent been
staying ON account OF his health with his daughter
at Nice The lady, who is handsome and only
'sweet seventeen, is considered of the bellies OF
London society. While ing at Nice she became
acquainted with a French gentleman styling himself
'Professor de Gymnastique de la Famille lmperale
de Russic." There are several accounts of how the
acquaintance formed. 1t is stated that the young
lady was pupil OF the professors, and That, while
teaching her gymnastcs, he also took the oppOrtu-
nifty of mailing love to her. As there no hope of
the English squire giving his consent to a union be-
tween his daughter and the French gymnast, the
lovers betoOk themselves to the only alternative left
for persons placed in their cruel position and eope-
ment was arranged. The father, however, seems to
have suspected that tender passion existed be-
tween his daughter and the Frenchman, and, dread
ing meSdl lance, determined to put stop TO It..
For that purpose lie took his daughter to Of his
mansions in the west OF Ireland The young lady
cared not that she bore an aristOcratiC name, or
that she was a wealthy heress, and with
the devotion of true lover, she determined to
sacrifice ALL if need be- for the sake of the French
gallant She accordingly left her fathers house aud
eloped with the FrenChman They made their way
to Liverpool The father elegraphed to the authOri-
ties III Liverpool, and the runawayS were met at the
steamboat by some detective Officers who acting on
Instructions received, separated them The father
soon followed the lady was taken back by him, and
the Frenchman left behind to mourn the cruel fate
that had so rudey torn from him his English love.

CORA PEARL,
The Queen of the Paris Demi-monde.


A correspondent who has seen this famous woman
-as famous for her beauty as for her immortality
thus describes herr
And now for Cora herself This distinguished
parsonage, as she lounged the tiger-skin looked
to be a little above the medium height of women {;
her hair of rich, silky brown, full and lustrOus,
was looped in coils at the top of the back of her
head Ia Grecque, and was trimmed with small red
flowers. From her ears were pendent long, oval
diamond earrings, and on her snowy neck was hung
a necklace of pearl shells interviewer with diamonds,
worth mOnarch'S ransom. Her arms were bare and
rounded, and her shoulders dec0lete. She was
attired in a loosely flowing robe of pink velvet
the only thing PINK saw in the apartment-and at
her waist was plain thin ceinture of gold. She
wore her dress without hoops, which allowed the
folds of her costly robe to fall over her shapely limbs
in studied yet artistic confusion. on the different
fingers of both hands were rings OF topaz, sapphire
ruby, emerald amethyst, and opal, fastened by gold
keepers. She had crimson slippers, embroidered in
gold, and in her right hand she waved to and fro,
laZily, fan of costly feathers. The woman herself
was q magnificent animal to look at with a spice
of the tiger shining out OF her clear, ustrOus
eyes. The neck well poised and finely
cut as were the face and shoulders. The mouth was
large ana full of good white, regular teeth, which
she displayed often during the conversation to adj
bish, and the chin like the cone of a ripe peach.
Something there was braZen in this Womans face,
despite the magnhccnce reignng IN the apartment.
Her voice was loud, sharp, and her gestures unady
like though she cndeaVOred to atone for these de-
lects by studied ease, Which occasionally apsed
into masculine freedom. She continually
showing her rings her fan, and her slippers impa-
tiently and careless OF the little prudential details
that so to make up the manner OF virtuOus woman.

Under the caption of "Geary as Liar, the Dis

which it places Governor Geary 1t accuses

a most dsgracefui business Never before has PENN

Henry Ward Beeoher on 1.-THE Nez

Here is choice extract from Henry
Ward Bcccher;s thanksgiving sermon:
The recent failure Of the attempt at
disintergration ought not to breed un-
doubted security. Few knew how
near it came to proving a success. 1t
was an attempt founded on bad grounds
in his opinion; founded on that which
was odious to the moral sense of the
world. 1t had bad counselors. But
should the Pacific States, in another
generation without. slavery as a vile
course. with strong commercialrea
undertake separation, the issue would
proba bly be very different. Our late
success then. must not argue success
in every case. The failure must not
lead us to suppose that no other at
tempts would be made. Should the
Southern States, now temporarily ex-
hausted, renew the struggle for indie
pendence. on the ground of political
economy, the issue was not to be per-
ceived from the issue Of the recent war.
1t was presumptuous to rest IN the belief
that the question of the Union was set
tied forever. The States could never
be prevented from separation If their
real interests lay in separation. Unity
could only be secured by making it to
the interests Of each section to, remain
united. Rhode Island might not be
able to withdraw alone, nor New >Jer
sey nor Connecticut, nor South Caro-
lima even, nor any single State, but the
whole South. the whole Southwest, the
great Northwest, and the vast Paciiic
slope move on different planes from
single States. It was moral power.
and that alonc, which could secure the
perpetuitv Of the Union. :. -
