WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 Several
DAYS ago the Committee on Banking
and Currency received letter from
A. B. Corbin, giving excuses why he
neglected their summons. Another
letter was received at the meeting to-
day, in which Corbin repeated that q
chronic disease prevented him from
being present, but not giving any
promise of a future action in that di-
rectior. 1t is probable that the Com
mittee will send an attachment after
Corbin. = aaa

Sumner offered an amendment to
substitute for the first and second
sections of the bill provision for

Bank Circulation $500, 900. COO; for its

Sherman replied IN defense of the

amendment was to defeat the pending

From the Hudson New Jersey Register
: A young married woman living in
the eastern part of this county retreat
ed from her home in a most masterly
manner, accompanied by an amorous
Lothario, whose ideas of the sacredness
of marriage must have been slightly
muddled. She left, for the consolation
of her husband, a few lines Of very
touching and powerful poetry. of
which the following is a copy:
"When this you see rememb er me,
For I've gone off on honeymoon spree (Eo.2)
| loved you little, as you will agree,
But this man love much better than thee;
Don't blame me for skedaddling with another,
| pray,
For love, irresistible, dragged me away,
And then | didn't love you well enough to
stay;
You must find another lady and endeavor to
be gay,
And when you go to bed at hight for your
first love you must pray" How ia this for

The Lady With a Key.

One of the Paris journals announces
the death, at Versailles, of a Russian
lady who. appeared in the drawing
rooms in Paris in 1849. and was nick
named the "Dame a la Clef." She
died, aged As, in the most complete
selituda--
It said that her husband, who was
much older than she, came to see her,
for a week or two, every six months,
and went away again no one knew
whittier. All was mysterious about
Lady of the Key. Last month the hus-
band did not return as usual, but let
ter came announcing his death. The
widow survived him few days only,
and it is supposed she allowed herself
to die of hunger. Whether true. or not,
this was the story that was whispered
about her when she appeared in Paris,
young and beautiful, more than twenty
years ago. 1t said that her husband
surprised her in little country house
which he possessed near Moscow, at
the moment she was hastily shutting
somebody up in a wardrobe. A SER
want had betrayed her. The Musco-
vite Othello turned the key twice in
the wardrobe, took it out, and then
told his wife to follow him. A travel
ing britzka stood few PAGES from the
villa. More dead than alive, the un-
happy woman obeyed. When the hus-
band had placed her in the carriage,
and gave an order in low voice to the
coachman, "Keep this key" he said
10 his wife, 81 have forgotten some
thing, and will return" and then went
back 10 the house. He returned ac-
cording to his promise, but as the car
riage descended the hill the poor wo-
man saw the flames issuing from the
windows of the country house and tax.
ing full possession of it. She tainted
away, and on regaining her senses per-
ceiyed that a gold chain was riyeted
round her neck TO which the little key
of the wardrobe was attached. She
wished to kill herself, but her husband
threatened her that if she committed
suicide he would reveal her misconduct
and cover her and her family with dis
honor. She was therefore condemned
to live, and her strange necklace excit-
ed much curiosity in Paris. AT last
her tyrant allowed her to retire into a
quiet retreat on the express stipulation
that she would not attempt to destroy
herself during his lifetime. His death
released her from this condition; but
she had languished for more than
twenty years, having the witness of her
guilt always before her eyes.
