Novel Cure for Drunkenness.

A DEVOTED wife residing in the Twenty
first Ward has adopted means for the
reformation of dissolute husband that
are worthy the attention Of every wife
similarly situated. According to the re-
port of the police, at half-past . o'clock
yesterday morning officer Trabold found a
hand.cuifed man wandering through Third
avenue. Supposing he was convict who
had escaped from bis custodians, he ques-
toned him, when the man, who bore evil
dence of responsibility stated that his
name was Lafayette s. Coates, residing at
No. 315 Eost Twenty-third street; that
while asleep some Of the boarders had
manacled him as practical JOKE, and that
he was in search of some person to relieve
him. The officer accompanied him to the
house, when the devoted Mrs. Coates told
an entirely different tale. She states that
occasionally Mr.. Coates is in the habit Of
indulging immoderately in the use OF
liquor, and that during these periods he
carries away from the house and pawns
everything he can get lis hands upon !;
she consequently hit upon this happy .ex-
pedient of reforming him and breaking
him of his pilfering habits, and for that
purpose purchased the handouts and APP
piled them. The officer prevailed upon
the lady to release her husbands hands
and turned him over, about o'clock in the
morning, to her tender solicitude.-N D.
