A Queer Social Incident.
Ho,o a Han Eloped With his O,pn Wife.

dOtV u 4dUW CtoPOU w esH' 1850 Opef' W 1O'
Late in July last the good people
in the town of Lyon, Oakland county,
Michigan, were much excited by an
application for divorce on the part of
the wife of Samuel B. Dolph, a De-
troit drover, on the ground of adultry.
The wife was the daughter of a wealthy
farmer of their county. Everett by
name, and naturally they have watch
ed the successive stages of the contest
with rapidly increasing interest
Dolph, who had been enjoined from
removing anything from a farm that
was the property OF his wife, attempt
ed to take possession Of the place,
elected the family living upon it, and
was arrested for riot. In the mean
time the family he had elected rein
stated themselves, and when he re-
turned he found them well guarded
by armed men. Dolph was tken ar
rested for adultry and he give ball.
Subsequently Dolph and his father
visited the farm and found people cut
ting the crops, and for interfering
with them he and his father were ar
rested for assault and battery, but the
younger Dolph was acquitted. He
then caused the crop cutters to be ar
rested for assault and battery, and he
also commenced proceedings for tres
pass, but the question of the title of
the farm being interposed the case
went to the Oakland circuit, and has
never come to trial. Other suits were
brought by the wife, the elder and
younger Dolph. and by various par
ties, and by such legal gentlemen as
j. j. Woodman and A. G Baldwin
of Pontiac; Sylvester Larned and
Alfred Russell of this city, were re-
tanned on one side or the other to take
part in the controversies. The suit at
law embraced injunctions, replevins,
trespass and pretty much everything
else known to the civil and criminal
calendar, and the litigations bid fair
to last through several months, per-
haps years. Dolph is we'll known,
and has many influential and wealthy
friends, and the same may be said OF
his wife and these friends it appears.
were strenuous in their efforts to keep
separated. Mrs. Dolph remained Sc
cluded at the residence of some of her
friends, and q policeman was employed
to watch Dolph, fears being enter
tanned that he might attempt to ab-
duct her. Thus matters passed along
for several weeks, and few days since
an arrangement was affected by which
Mrs. Dolph was to pay her husband

The Love of the Period.

I've just left the ballroom, dear Harry
To drop you this bit of note,
Which the Captain has promised to
carry
Direct, by the four o'clock boat.
The season is certainly over;
Sue Summers refused ColoDel Chute;
Don't swear like savage sea-rover
Because our affair follows suit.
l can only engage for season;
You're the primest of partners vow;
I'll tell you directly the reason,
I'm writing so hastily now.
Please send me at once by Tom Tin
berne-
His whiskers are simply divine
My picture, that copy of Swinburne
And everything else that is mine.
My letters, my notes, and that poem,
The one signed Anonymous" dear;
[ know that you never would show 'em
I just want to read them all here.
Oh! send me my pink satin slipper,
I know how to cover the stain
You pulled off and used as dipper
To pledge me in Cliquot champaign,
And Harry, be sure to see Barker
You would cut my curls offyou kno',
If you send home half shade darker,
The difference never will show.
Send ribbon and ring; l think this is
The whole of the things l must ask,
Pm sure that to send back my kisses
Yonll vote an impossible task.
Now, Harry, don't rage and be horrid !;
Don't bluster and swear and abuse;
Our love was deliciously torrid-
To crop it quite gives me the blues.
I've viewed it in every direction,
And find in its rapturous range
A prime pantheistic perfection,
Progressive, electrical, strange!
Yes 1 know that this bliss unalloyed.
If once 1 were bound as your wife,
Would fade in a fortnight, destroyed
By dulIness of money life.
And so I've determined, dear Harry;
AS girls of the period do
1 shall certainly marry,
Twill not be, my dearest, to you.
At the Arlington soirees next winter.
Dear Hal, you must surely be there;
shall be Mrs. Daniel McLinter,
He's horrid, bump-backed million
aire,

THE MAN ANSWERS.

I'll answer your letter my Julia,
For can take oath you are mine;
Its tenor is coolly peculiar,
Though perfectly plain to define.
Its news was forestalled by a rumor
Ed. Eavesdropper brought from
the springs;
1t put me at first out of humor.
And up to unorthodox things.
l hated, you see, to surrender
What gave me such capital fun,
But I went on a regular bender,
And bent myself straight. See the
pun?
l fear, in the first ebulition
OF rage, I was rather severe;
Sent yourself and yonr sex to perdition,
And called you not pet names, my
dear.
thought a second of laudanum,
| And wringing your heart CD, and
all that,
But remember my wager with Rod
That Blank will be beaten hat
So calling philosophy's aid up,
I put for al, out and out smoke
And the bender-not Grecian-then
made up
My mind the whole thing is a joke.
So 1 stopped being spoony, and fussing
And pulling pitiful phiz,
And quilted my wickedest cussing,
More quick er than Horace will his
Y"u shall have all your articles. Leastly
The letters and poem FIJI keep,
For the winter bids fair to- be beastly,
And fuel, no end of, not cheap.
Your kisses? To Tom I refer them !
His whiskers L think rather foxy.
PIl tell you the stile you prefer them.
And thus make the transfer by
proxy.
1 went down to Barker's by stages,
AS fast as a fellow can do;
But though he's the heir of the ages,
He's now false enough, julie, foryou.
I swear you're uneommonly lucky
To know how to cover stain;
But spite of your sweetness, my ducky
Some vestigs is found to remain.
I'll end our affair without snarliug,

such interested and sympathetic eyes?
Do you not know that it is just such
looks that lead man on to he foolish,
egotistical, and late for the train?
l told him was sorry, but 1 didn't
know how 1 could help it. But he
kindly assured me that it was not dis
pleasing to him at all, aud then he
went away. But the pleasant bright
ness of his smile remained to illumine
our lonesome place

The Attempted 0stracism Of Col. z. C
Boudil0t.


We find in the ST. Louis Rspa6itcdn,
the following reference to Col. BoUD.-
NoT's claim of citizenship:
The commissioners appointed by the
Cherokee council 10 lay out towns adja-
cent to the railroad stations located in
their country seem not to be a unit in the
attempt to ostracize Col. +. C. Boudinot,
and deprive him Of the privileges OF Il
citizen Of the " Nation on the ground
that he is a citizen Of the United States,
Col Boudnot, it will be recollectcd, made
speech on the 2lst OF September, at
Venita, Cherokee Nation, III which he ad
vocated the allotment of the lands n sew
crafty to the Indian occupants, and the
sale Of the balance Of the territory to
constitute a fund out of the proceeds for
the education of the Cherokee children.
This occasioned much bitter feeling to-
wards Boudinot, and placard, purport-
ing TO be the work Of the commissioners,
was posted on the depot at Nenita, de-
claring him to be a citizen of the United
States, the effect Of which would be to
condscate his property, including one
thousand acres of land around Nenita,
upon which he made his Improvements
before the railroad station was located
on it. To counteract the effect contem-
plated by the posting Of that placard, D..
W. Washbourne, also one OF the com
mssioners, came to the aid Of Boudinot,
and has posted on the Venta depot the
following caustic proclamation:
NorlCE.-Ths declaration posted on the de-
pot at Ninita, Cherokee Nation, that Elias {.
Roudinot Il a citizen Of the United states, w AS
made by one Miller, a white man, Il citizen of
the United states. Ii his declaration, that
Boudinot is u citizen Of the United States, is
correct then all Cherokee Indians are citizens
Of the United States.
| This declaration of Miller's was prov okcd
| by the caustic ilaggellation Boudinot applied
to said Miller in his speech at Vinita, on the
2lst of September, when Boudinot said;
| Another | will mention, more eXcusable
| than the others, because he has not their in
telligence or shrewdneSs. He is simple, ig-
norant, childish old man, who has learned how
| to write, and r, joices so much in this accom-
| plishment that when he once lays pen to pa.
| per he never knows when to stop. lie was
appointed once upon time to compile the
laws OF the Cherokee Nation, and his handi-
work shows his genius; he left out the con-
| stitution as a thing of no consequence. This
foolish old man mumbles with all the lire of
idiocy the same cry of Traitor against me.
| am not surprised that poor Miller should
feel hurt by the skinning Boudiaot has given
| hm but he wrthes iifpain when la tries TO
| ignore Boudnot as u citizen of the Cherokee
| Nation.
! Miller processes to be acting for the com
mssioners OF the Cherokee Nation to lay of
towns, etc. When he makes this lling at
BoUdinot, lac falsely assumes to do so | am

opposed to railroads, bridges, good
roads, street crossings, street lamps,

these men, the other day, said to the
agents who are in this city with proposi-
tions for building a bridge across the Ar.

you here, sir. You come to get our

Can this be so, General? We have
known most of the old citizens of Fort

found them liberal hearted, enterpris-

much, but are full of vim and goa head
