Gsos TO Mlw aukee In search of Him
and Eier Money.
from the Milwaukee Wisconsin, April Is
On Saturday last Mrs. Henry A. Smith
came to this city from New Orleans, where
she lives, in search of a truant husband,
who deserted her some weeks ago. Mrs.
Smith brought letters from the Chief OF Po-
lice and well known gentlemen OF New Or
leans. all Of which show that she is an
estimable lady, who has been the victim OF
base and designing man, and her case
cannot fail to draw the sympathies Of
all to her. Her story, as she told 1t
here, is to the following effect: She is forty
years of age, and possesses handsome
competency, her property consisting
of real estate and buildings III
the city, Smith came to New Orleans from
the interior OF Wisconsin some tive Oars
ago. AID engaged III various speculau0ns.
The two met and attera short courtShip they
were married. Smith, although several years
younger than his wife, protested the greatest
love fer her and in a short time Mrs. Smith
says she believed i'll his deVotlonAnd thought
it real. Some months ago the house ID which
the two lived, and which Mrs. Smith owned,
was burned, ana then Smith urged that IA
block Of business houses be built upon pro
perty adjoining, which could be purchased
between the two and finally decided upon.
The insurance money was paid over
to Smith, the burnt district, with several
other lots, Sod and all the money re-
ceived passed into Smiths hands. He pro-
ceeded as if about to bUild-made bargain
for the real estate, contracted with builders,
etc.-and everything appeared to be work
ing well, until one morning Mrs. Smith
found that her husband had deserted her,
aud, what was worse, had taken every cent
Of money she had il the world, leaving her
even worse than penniless. Mrs. Smith told
the officers here that she very soon found
that her husband had left the city, aud had
taken with him young girl, the daughter
of neighbor, whose acquaintance he had
made. Nearly heartbroken, and hoping to
recover portion at least, OF her money,
Mrs. Smith set out in pursuit OF the de-
serter, and followed him to this city. From
here she still traced him to the interior OF
the State, and at once left to follow the chase.

TIE Utlcy Cotton Press.

The rapid introduction of every descTlp-
ton of cheap labor-saving plantation ma
chinery into this State, has been a subject
of much remark among agriculturists OF
late. With the abolition of slavery came
the necessity on our plantations for econo-
my of time and labor. Every utensil or ma.
chine which would have tendency toward
rendering the planter independent, has
been hunted up with eagerness, and en-
ployed at once: and it takes no prophet to
foresee more extensive use of machinery on
farms in the South than has yet been en-
ployed in the North or West. The market
here for all classes of these agricultural ap-
pliances is already great, aud Is growing
daily. There is a great demand for cheap
and portable machinery, and We would ad.
wise manufacturers, getting up goods for
this market, to always bear in mind that the
DAYS of cumbersome machines, which would
cost small fortune. is past, they must send
US light, serviceable, low priced articles.
At the State fair, just closed, there was a
large display Of agricultural machinery,
suited to the sugar or cotton plantation,
their hundreds of attentive observers. In
the way of cotton presses, We noticed
large number on exhibition, and it was in
teresting to notice the progress made in
them since the use Of the old screw which
used to be found on every plantation. Since
the fair, another press Qntended to have
been exhibited there, but arrived too latel
has been put up at the cotton pickery of
Mr.. kiplinger, corner of Chippewa and
Terpsichore streets, and. agreeabiy to an
Invitation politely extended to US through
Messrs. Sizer & Owen, We yesterday, in
company with other representatives Of the
press, went up to see it in operation. Two
hands only were employed, and those,
without extra exertion, pressed a nye hun
dred pound bale Of cotton, and had the
press ready for another in about fifteen
minutes from the time they first began
putting in the loose cotton.
This exceedingly light, simple and cheap
machine is called the Improved Uley Cot
ton Press" 1t can be taken down and put
up in an hour, and can be transported
upon an ordinary plantation wagon, COM
pete. One of these presses costs only
$500, and requires never more than three
hands to work il at the rate of forty or fifty
bales per day. The power is obtained by
means of levers, and is entirely sufficient.
Its small size admits of its being placed i'm.
mediately under the lint room in the gin
house. so tina. the cotton can BE- dropped
into it Immediately from the gin. and the
wonderful power of the levers places it in
the power of the planter to employ upon it
only third class laborers. 1t appears to US
to be just the thing for our planters, and we
advise those wishing presses to go and ex-
anime it, and judge OF the work it can be
maie to do.

CURIOUS PREACHING TO RAISE THE WIND
Rev. DR.. Patton said, in Chicago, last week:
erich men who did not give anything to
the cause of Christ were recreant to their
duty; and God permitted burglars to invent
tools, including glycerine, to burst open the
safes OF men who would not give money to
God"
After this, we may expect burglars and
other pickers and stealers to be buster than
bees in prosecuting their avocations; and if
body blames them or fights them, they
can thank this DR.. Patton for saying they
are acting upon the Lords side."-Ne'a

BOARD OF HBALTH.-A regular meeting OF
this body was held last evening, and present,
DIR. White presiding: and Drs. Smyth.
Payne. Ligars, Davis, and Messrs. Pierce
and Walton.
Reports from Drs. Matthew, Albert, Jack
son, Berry, Ames and H. Smith, First,
Second, Third. Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
Municipal Districts, were read, but con-
tanned nothing of great interest to the
public. except that from the Sixth District,
which stated that two men were killing dis
eased cattle at the old stock landing, and
that the locality was still filthy.
The subject of dry earth closets as SAM
tary measure. WAS discussed, DR.. Smyth
holding that it was an Improvement on the
old process. No final action was taken, as
the members we're not prepared to vote
on it.
Sanitary laws to govern in this city were
adopted. The sections imposing fines for
violations are strong, and will be strictly
enforced.

In THE CRIMINAL CoURT.-Business in this
tribunal is at a halt inst now, and yesterday
District Attorney Gutenberg moved the dis
charge of several persons by nolIe proseq".
He declares his inability to proceed IN prose-
cutting cases of a certain date, because, as
the law now exists, he possesses no power
to proceed. As the subject does not appear
to be clearly understood, Judge Abel did not
Join with Mr.. Gutenberg, preferrinS to wait
day or two, in the hope that some
definite conclusion might be arrived
at, whereby the accused may be held.
However. same trifing cases were
dismissed among them one which accuses
Eugenia Thompson with infanticide. The
poor girl has the sympatnies CT nearly all
who are acquainted with the case, and we
think Justice is not seriously outraged by
her release. So much can not be said in
other suits. a thorough investigation will,
perhaps, result in an arrangement whereby
criminals of all degrees can still be held IN
durance and made to answer for their
crimes. It will, however. make but little
difference whether some portion OF the
prisoners are discharged or not, as they Will
be likely TO commit some other crime IN
day or two and be rearrested, as Billy Little
was, shortly after he was pardoned by the
Governor.
