From the Cincinnati Times, 2Sd.l
A very distinguished Professor OF
music, Charles --, former resident
of this city, but now dweller in the
Mound" city, has been creating a SEN
sation in the quiet little city of Ports
mouth, which has set to wagging all the
tongues in that place on the subject.
Charles is great forte is the
piano-forte, but in this particular case
in which he figures he has developed
another forte, that of gay Lothario,
which he is now playing very success
fully, A month ago this man of music
arrived at Portsmouth, and while there
his renown as pianist paved the way
for him into the creme de la creme Of
society. he was not long circulating
among the upper crust before he be-
came deeply enamored of a young mar
ried lady, who was also distinguished by
her brilliant performance on the piano.
The two were frequently thrown to-
gether, and as they played and sang on
their favorite instruments the little
archer boy, much to his discredit in this
case, came along and pierced them both
with golden shaft
Charles - swore he never loved so
blindly, and the fair instrumentalist de-
clared she never loved so kindly. But
what was to be done under the circum-
stances? Their love was too ardent to
be hedged in by the circumscribed limits
of the little village, where prying eyes
we're ever on them. Charles - would
depart for this city. He came. The
lady followed.
Then the twain left for st. Louis, and
after remaining there for few days the
party engaged berths-separate, ofcourse
ON Pullman car and were whisked
over the iron rails to the Empire City.
Here they have been ever since, basking,
doubtless, in the sunshine of love. The
husband Of the lady remains quietly at
home, tending to his business as usual,
apparently not caring for the absent one.
Whether the leave of absence is to be
construed into desertion of bed and
board, and a suit for divorce to follow, or
whether the husband will receive his
wife as if nothing had transpired, or
whether the code will be brought into
requisition to satisfy the vengeance of
the husband, are the questions just now
agitating the denizens of the River City.

One of the most busy depots in Paris,

official dispatches within the shortest

A BAD story I'm the High Social
Circles of st. LOuis.

A most unfortunate domestic affair
came toIlight at St. Louis last Thursday
the 22d, disclosing another instance OF
the heartlessness and per6dy of man.
A young girl of a highly respectable fami-
ly, who has been missing three weeks,
and whose whereabouts could not be as
certained by the sharpest detectives, was
brought home last night by an old negro
woman in state of high delirium. Pow
erful medicines were administered and
reason was restored for brief time,
during which it was ascertained the girl
had been seduoed by wealthy married
man holding high social position; that
she had been taken to a disreputable
house, where an abortion was performed
by two physicians in good standing, and
when the small amount of money, pro-
vided by her seducer, had been ex-
pended, she was sent home almost a raw
ing maniac. The names of the parties
concerned have not been disclosed at
present, but they all move in high cir
cles, and the affair has created intense
excitement and indignation. The coro-
ner has charge of the matter, and will
make a thorough examination of the
case. The young lady lies in a critical
condition, and, it is feared, will die.

An interesting sketch has just ap-
peared in a Western paper Of Francis
Bret Harte, the editor of the Overland
Monthly, whose poems and sketches have
all at once attained so wide popularity.
The brief story of his life, like his
writings, is full of hard lines" He
went out to California at an early age,
taught school, became miner, and ex-
emplifed generally the philosophy of
failure, until he took to types by natu-
raj tendency, as compositor and editor,
filling meantime subordinate positions
in the offices of the Surveyor General
and Marshal of the United States and
in the Government mint, and at last be-
coming editor of the Overland Monthly,
a magazine which his pen has brought
into universal favor.
Bret Harte has been true to himself
and to his quite peculiar genius. But
with his gifts it would have been simply
impossible for him to remain in obscurity
anywhere. In California he had the op-
portunity of looking with his clear sharp
eyes on a phase Of civilization such as
was never before seen, and he thus inter-
preted its meaning and character in a
style which is a happy combination of
the slang of the country and the English
of refined culture. Given the native
humor, the rapid insight into men and
manners, the delicacy Of feeling and the
acute sympathies of Bret Harte, it might
not be difficult to engraft the pleonasms,
rough idioms and quite original cussing
and swarring" of the mining monte
banks and the Frisco" bar-rooms upon
the written vernacular of the schools.
Charles Lamb said he might have writ
ten just such plays as Shakspeare's if he
had only had the mind to do it. But all
these qualities were demanded, and when
they appeared, California boasted a lit
erature. Her poet had come and her
song found its expression. In a word,
Bret Harte, is that undefnable hut un-
mistskshle thing, a genius" and, to
borrow one of his own phrases, that's
What s the matter with him."
We are not sure, however, that the i'm
mediate effect of his popularity, so
worthily and legitimately acquired, will
not be to flood the newspapers with vile
limitations of his racy, idiomatic verse.
Copyists are always de:estable, but
they appear at the worst when the pecu-
liarities of their model betray them into
vulgarity and ribaldry. Bret Harte'
literary path leads over very dangerous
ground, where profanity borders very
closely upon wit, and coarseness is coter-
minous with humor. He walks adroitly
upon the verges. His imitators-who
are becoming numerous : appear to
stumble across the line at every step.
They seem only to have learned the slang
and the oaths Of his vocabulary, and we
trust that they will soon meet with the
inevitable fate Of servile mediocrity, the
contempt of an intelligent public.
