1t appears from certain public docu-
nents that after all Mrs. NJ NJ. Pomeroy
did apply to Ben Butler, requesting him
to act as her counsel in obtaining divorce
and separation from her husband, Brick
Pomeroy, notwithstanding the latter's re-
cent denial of the fact From the CORE
spondence between Butler and Mrs. Pom
eroy, as published by that gentleman, -
it appears that Mrs. Pomeroy applied to
Butler by letter, stating her grievances,
and asking his legal aid to obtain her
rights. Butler sent this letter to friend
of his in Milwaukee, with instructions to
ascertain if it was genuine, not wishing to
get caught IN any we'll arranged trap
That friend, it seems, called on Mrs Pom
cray, and obtained her story, together
with the confirmation that she had ad-
dressed the letter in question TO the willy
Ben. Upon being assured by his Milwau-
kee friend that it being all right, Butler
agreed to act as counsel But Poneroy,
according to the assertion of a New York
lawyer, upon hearing that Butler was aftel
him sent an agent to Milwaukee to settle
and solely to keep out of Buffers clutch
es, really did settle, giving his wife $40
600 and divorce without opposition. II
finish this thing off nicely, Butler has re-
ceived the written consent of Mrs. Pome,
roy to publish the correspondence, which
he has lost no time III doing. 1t is just
like him.
The divorce case was hurried up to en-
able Brick to marry a Mrs. Louisa NJ
Thomas, worth a dowry of $4,000 anC
several diamonds, which event came of

Terrible NItrO-GIyeerIns explosion.

TIvUsvILLE, Pa, May ia terrible
nitro o-glyeerine explosion occurred to-day
about five miles from Titusville, on the
road to Tidioute About four hundred
pounds of the compound, belonging to
Roberts & Co., were exploded while being
transported in wagon, and the driver,
Charles g. Clark, as we'll as the horse and
the vehicle were blown TO atoms. A barn,
forty rods distant, was demolished and an
excavation five feet deep and twelve feet
broad was made in the roadway. The
largest fragment of Clark's body which
has been found is portion of his face.
The horses shoes were stripped off and
broken and nothing was left of the wagon
but splinters of wood, and iron scattered
broadcast for several hundred yards. A
woman was knocked down by missile of
some kind which entered the window OF
her dwelling nearly a quarter of a mile
distant There is considerable indigna-
ton manifested in Titusville. The glyce-
rine which exploded was previously haul
ed through the streets of the city, as has
been repeatedly done heretofore, notwith-
standing prohibitory ordinance. Clark,
the deceased, has been in the employ oi
the Roberts Torpedo Company for two
years past. He leaves wife and child
residing at Tidioute.

DoN PIATT says the government is anx-
ious to get away from Washington, and
don't want to be bothered with long
speeches about the treaty and says the
Hon. Charles Sumner has eight amend
ments to offer 1.-THE Questioning and ques-
tionable Mr. Edmunds has, of course, some
eighteen, while Senators Casserly and Gar
reb Davis have prepared volumes in that
direction. I doubt whether the Senate
gets off that treaty and away from here
under two months. If this proves to be
the case, His Excellency, the Inscrutable,
will get exasperated beyond measure, be-
cause he can not leave here until his thing
is finally disposed Of don't see why he
can not go at any time; but such is the
Executive impression, and this is promul-
gated every day. Ifit is this fact, oi
course lis Excellency Will be exasperated
for he has made his arrangements to take a
little run out to California-sort of a swing
around the circle in that direction-and
after that he goes down to the delicious
atmosphere of Long Branch to while away
his loyal leisure among the fast men, fast
women and fast horses of that sweetscented
locality. To be detained under the CIR
cumstances in Washington by this fool
Senate that labors under the extraordinary
delusion that it can settle these differences
between the United States and Great Bri-
tain, better than the High JOINTS did, Is
enough to drive a President crazy. And
he would go crazy, only he Is so busily en-.
gagged in fixing up for the succession.

however, the sentiments of the more intel
igent were enlisted in their favor, yet the
wisdom and foresight of Washington was
proved by the realization of his fears with
respect to the slow progress of these aids
to agricultural development. The methods
indicated by him were afterwards approv-
ed and adopted, and are now in fair way,
with many of the original obstacles to ep-
pose, though more than three quarters of
century has passed away, since these
patriotic utterances by him, "who was first
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen."
1t is true that during the last fifty years
grogress has been made in general, but in
Ohio the State and County Agricultural
Societies have been established within the
last thirty years, from which date our real
progress dates in Ohio. During the last
thirty years our advancement has been
much greater than prior to that time, and
it is reasonable to expect still greater i'm
provement IN the next thirty years. With
the accumulating force of the knowledge
ofscience, and of the skill in the mechanic
arts, we have a right to expect the realiza.
ton of the supposition above, in thai
period. PIKE.

HORACE GREELEY is in Texas, and
speaks this week before the State Agri-
cultural Society. He has been warmly
welcomed during his Southern journey by
men of every shade of politics. He has
repaid this in kind by making coneiliat6-
ry speeches which have had good effect.
He favors universal amnesty, and says if
it had been adopted five years ago, the
Ku-Klux would hardly have been heard

Radical policy towards the South has been
and is now blunder. Sherman-the Gen

A Man RemRrries his wife After
TwenIy-slx Years. Separation.

An Iowa paper, the Mount Pleasant Journal has
this account of romance: .
TWenty-six years ago, the beautiful city of Sa-
lem, as now, was peopled with some Of the best
families in Iowa Here resided the family OF
James AcWhorter, and James and his wife were
happy. After while there came the news Of gold
discoveries in California, and stories Of how men
could find fortunes. James hearing these stories
decided to bid adieu to his wife for short time,
fill his pockets with the glittering metal, ana then
return TO his Rebecca. The farewell was said, and
wife and husband parted. hcWhOrter went to
California. The letters came and went fast as
Uncle Sans carriers could take them As the
novel writer says, slime wore on apaee - the
weeks walked OF into months, gallOped into years,
and, as the story comes to US, James McWhorter
and his wife were separated by the willful and
malicious lying and misrepresentation of evil
doors. rr
Word was sent back to the wife that her hus-
band was the husband of fanother. Letters ceased
to go to and from; the separation became appa-
rently permanent and wound up with a dive rec.
Mrs. McWhorter in time became Mrs. Abbott, and
after time her husband died, leaving her wi
dow. Some two years ago geAtiemRn came from
California, direct from the place where MIR. Nc
Whorter resided, and he denied all the reports
that had been circulated concerning that gentle
man, reporting him 70 be an honorable and up
right man, doing well and prosPering in worldly
matters After his return to California a recon-
ciliation was commenced, letters bearing words
Of love again commenced to pass to and from, and
on last Friday James McWhorter and Rebecca
Abbott were again Joined in the holy bonds Of

when some alcoholic stimulant is required in
connection with the Tonic properties of the Bit
ters, Each bottle Of the Tonic contains one bot
tie of the Bitters, combined with pure SANTA CRUZ
RUN and favored in such manner that the ex-
trems bitterness of the Bitters is overcome,
forming preparation highly agreeable and
pleasant to the palate, and containing the medici
nal virtues of the Bitters The price of the Tonic
$50 per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that the
stimulant used is guaranteed to be OF pure
quality. pure article could be furnished at a
cheaper price, bnt is it not better to pay a little
more and have good articlei A medicinal prep
