Among the most agreeable Of the visitors
at the REPUBLICAN office yesterday was
Mime. Marie Durand Hitchcock, one of the
leading artistes Of the French Opera. She
was few years ago prime favorite of the
patrons of the opera here when, as Mile.
Durand, she appeared as q member of the
Brignoli troupe. Her accession to the very
excellent opera company engaged by Mons.
Calabresi is most fortunate event for the
public, and We sincerely hope it may prove
to be 80 to the manager and the fair artistic.
Nine. Durand Hitchcock resides with the
family of Colonel S. N. Moody We are in
debted to the courtesy of the Colonel for
the pleasure Of the introduction.

That One Glasa.

For two years past l have been laborine
to save an iuebriate. After several relapses
he became perfectly sober, and gave hope OF
permanent reform. His wife remarked, III
he falls again it will kill me-" Things went
on smoothly several months. That once
darkened home had become once more .
sunny spot. But one day the reformed man
met an old friend, who invited him to din
ner. At the table wine was furnished, and
the entertainer pressed the reformed in
ebriate to take glass with him. He knew
the mans former habits. The unhappy man
swallowed one glass, and it unclaimed the
demon in q moment. From that hour to
this my poor friend has hardly seen q sober
day, and nothing but miracle of Gods
grace will ever lift him from the bottomless
PIT into which one treacherous glass of
champagne hurled him in an instant. In
this case it is not difficult to decide who
was the greatest sinner. The man who
urges reformed inebriate to touch q drop
of Intoxicating liquor deserves to be i'm
prisoned for ten years at hard labor. He is
not q safe person to run at large, for where
is the moral difference Of assassination with
q knife and assassination with "social
glass" of poison!

walk. A week ago last Saturday he in
formed one or two business associates that
he was going to Chicago in the capacity of
the president Of the Fairfield County Fire
Insurance Company to adjust the same's
losses incurred by the fire. The following
Monday he took an eastward bound train,
and next day his wife left NOrwalk, as she
stated, to find him in New York. He had
at this time, however, ceased to be presi-
dent of the insurance company, having
transferred his stock, amounting to $40, 600,
as the books Of the corporation show and
although his resignation has not been re-
ceived by the secretary, his position is, Of
course, vacant. A very general impression
prevails that he has gone to Canada, and
the fact of his taking an eastward train is
strong evidence and corroborative proof.

The Newest Sensation.

A woman wooer 10 the last sensation.
It appears that some years ago Miss Ayers,

the elevation Of the nation. Shortly after
she adopted Lewis Downing, son Of the

ago she built, ostensibly for him, an elegant
residence, overlooking the beautiful village,
and furnished it with artistic taste. A few

that nearly all these ruined streets were

Prom the St. Louis Republican,
NEW YORK. October 3l.-John Graham
and William Bartlett have been retained by
Tweed to conduct his defeuse iu the case
brought against him BY the attorney gen
eral. Tweed feels confident that all will
work favorably. He claims that the checks
for certain amounts drawn by Woodward
and deposited to his (Tweed's) credit. were
for moneys advanced to contractors to en-
able them to prosecute their works, Wood
ward being . silent partner with One or two
of the contractors, who paid Tweed back
and advanced Sums the moment they were
paid by the controller.
Mr.. Graham claims that he will show for
all these deposits made in favor of Tweed,
and which have created such feeling Of
indignation against the boss, due bills,
promissory notes and assignment of claims
sufficient to cover all the amounts of his
deposits. This Mr.. Tweed imagines will
enable him to 60 into court with perfectly
clean hands.
The honest Democrats here, however.
fail to zee how Mr.. Tweed can possibly nc.
count for these enormous amounts deposited
to bis credit in the bank, even if he did ad-
vance the money to the contractors The
universal question is, whence did he obtain
the money to make the advances?
