A Woman who WAS Divorced and did

From the New York SUI


In the Hasbrouck divorce case Judge
Sutherland has ordered reference to
ascertain certain facts which he is un-
able to deduce from the papers read
before him on the motion, made about
two weeks ago, TO set aside degree OF
divorce granted against the wife. DIR.
N. G. Hasbrouck, a well known physi-
clan in ROckland county, died in Octo-
Der last, and his wife, who attended
him in his last illness, and who had
lived with him uninterruptedly since
their marriage, thirty years before, was
told by his executors that she had been
divorced from him five years ago. She
claims that she had heard nothing Of it
previously, and that she was never
served with any papers IN the case. On
the other hand, it is alleged that her
son, also physician, now deceased,
served the summons upon her, and that
for the five years since the decree was
granted the matter was kept quiet and
she was allowed to live in the house, IN
order to save her and her son from dis
grace, although she lived entirely apart
from her late husband. Judge Suther-
land desires now to ascertain whether,
among other things, the service of the
summons was sworn to before no

river, and the young lady stopped the
white horse, so that Deb could look
across, and up and down, at the shin
ing stream and the shining bank.
There's so much of it said Deb,
softly, thinking of the crack of it that
she had seen between two houses for
fifteen years in high chair; and the
long, broad-shouldered, silvered river
seemed to her very much like this
world about which, had wondered.
They rode to the bills, and Deb
trembled to look upea their frowning
walls, and to meet their hundred eyes,
for the windows stared, ,1sske eyes; but
some of the girls va wore the little
pink bows, and who new her, came
nodding to look down out of them, and
she left off trembling to laugh; then in
minute she trembled again, for all at
once, without any warming, the great
Androscoggin pealed the time just over
her head, and swallowed her up in
sound. She turned pale with delighted
terror, and then she flushed with terri
fed delight.
Did it pray2 or cry? or Taught Deb
did not know. 1t seemed to her that if
the white horse would carry her into
the sound of that bell, she need never
sit in high chair by a window again,
but ride and ride with the young lady.
1t seemed to her like forever and for
ever.
They turned away from the Andres
coggin without speaking, and rode and
rode. Daylight dimmed and dusk drop
ped, and seel all the town blazed with
lights. Deb could not speak-there
were SO many lights.
And still she could not speak when
they rode into Brick Alley, and Jim
McMahoney and her mother and the
children who did not wonder came out
to meet her, and take her back to her
high chair
She was too happy to speak. She
need never wonder any more. She
could remember.
But the young lady did not want her
to speak She touched her white
horse, and was gone in a minute; and
when tie Androscoggin rang them both
to sleep that nlght-for the young lady
forgot to ask for her Cluny, and was
too tired to go to the party-I am sure
cannot tell which was the happier,
she or Deb. Androscoggin did not
trouble himself to find out. All he said
was, Forever and forever. Deb knows.
She heard him. She had no need to
wonder about him any more. She M
derstood.
And this is all I have totell. Wheth-
er the young lady took Deb to ride
again or whether she didn't-this is all
1 have to tell. 1t is very little thing
to have to tell, but when it was told to
me, I thought it was the sweetest, sad
dest, tenderest little thing in the world.

Massachusetts Heirs Ginning Slave
Trade Fortune. a
From the North Bridgewater QIAss.) Gazette.

From the North Br1dgewater CAIAss) Gazette.
Some fifty or sixty years ago q man
named Isaac Phillips went from North
BriIgewater to the Southern States,
and engaged in the business of buying
and selling slaves. He amassed for
tune in this nefarious business. 1t is
said that he deposited $40, 600 in some
bank in New York city, where it has
been on interest ever since. and for
which the bank officers are now trying
to find an owner. There is, of course,
considerable scrabbling for that large
amount of property. 1t is presumed
that he left no children. There are
great many nephews and nieces of the
above named Isaac Phillips in Easton,
Stoughton, the Bridgewaters, and in
the region round about these towns.
The point now to be proved is, whether
the Isaac Phillips aforesaid is the one
that deposited that money in New
York. If these heirs can prove that he
really was the man, then the money is
theirs.
There once lived in small cottage
on cross road leading from Dicker
mans corner in the town of North
Bridgewater, an old lady by the name
of Susie Phillips. She obtained her
livelihood by braiding straw and fitting
boots. She guarded her huckleberry
pasture with vigilance, and woe betide
the children that dared to fill their bas-
kets from its bushes The old lady
died five or six years ago, at an ad-
vanced age, and at her request, the
large family Bible, containing the rec
ord of the Phillips family, was placed
under her head, and buried with her in
the grave. It was thought that this
Bible would be of service in looking up
TIE pedigree of the Phillips family, and
last week the grave was opened and the
Bible taken from beneath the head of
the deceased 1t has not yet been
opened, for after lying so long under
ground it was in very bad condition.
When they shall be enabled to examine
it, some light may be thrown upon
the subject of the early history of the
family.
An Amsterdam journal says that New

The Death Of Alice Cary.

The announcement of the death of
Alice Cary viii be read everywhere
with regret This gifted woman was
native Of Ohio, but came with her
younger sister Phoebe, many years ago,
to this city, where the two have ever
since had their abode. Their first ap-
pearance in authorship was made con-
Jointly in q book of poems, which was
well received, and was followed by
series of prose sketches by Alice, en-
titled "The Clover-nook Papers" |"
which established for her an individual
reputation. Since that time her con-
tributions to current literature have
been frequent and various. Novels,
sketches, poems and essays have attest
ed the versatility of her genius and the
hold she had upon the public favor.
All that she wrote was graceful and
pure, and it might be said of her with
strict regard to truth, In the hackneyed
line of Lord LyttletOn, that she left
behind her
'TSo line which, dying, she might wish to blot"
For many years the two sisters have
been the centre of literary circle
which gathered informally at their Sun
day evening tea parties, where the books
and topics of the day were pleasantly
discussed. Alice Cary's health had
long been failing, and the last summer
was spent by her in Vermont in the hope
that she might regain her strength, but
at the beginning of the winter it be-
came apparent to her friends that she
could not long survive. She bore her
long and painful illness with perfect
submission. Miss Cary died in the
fiftieth year of her age.

In recent publication, says an Eng

most successful book, "Tom Browns
School Days" is thus accounted for.
1t was favorite idea with the late Mr.
Barham to produce sort of jointstock
novel for BentLey's MisoeLLdlly 1t was
to be called "The Modern Rake's Pro-
gress." MIR. Barham was to furnish
the opening chapters. Mr. Hughes,
father of Tom Hughes, was to describe
life at a public school; Lord William
Lennox was to describe life in the
Guards at Crockford. The scheme fell
through, but it is limited that the
sketches written by young Hughes,
then lad at Rugby, were uncommonly
well done, and that in them there was
the germ of the history of Tom
