A MESSAGE

"After the battle of Fohrbach a Frenc
officer of Cuirassiers was found dead, wit
= letter, which we copy, crumpIed in hi
PAPER.
1t was only a crumpled letter,
In a careless, girlish hand;
It was snly childish message
From the kissed Southern Land.
1t was only brief memorial
Of the tears the absent shed;
1t was trihe from the living,
But amessage to the dead!
"Father, dear, you have gone to battle,
But think necessarily,
AS | miss your morning blessing,
What your suferings must beP'
SO she wrote, and so he held it,
With blessing on her head
When the token of the living
Was a message to the dead
'I'm so good, dear,-oh so steady;
You would wish me to be so;
IF Pm quiet half your dangers
Dear mamma need never know.
Sogood- bye, dear papa! God bless you!
Guard and keep you evermOre!
See, send you fifty kisses,
From an eyer-ready store"
1t was only crumpled letter
In dead mans hand that day,
just to show how hearts were aching
In his own land far away.
1t was only loving message
From loving child that sped,
But the words the living penciled
Were message TO tho dead!
Take it not from out his fingers
lay it with him in the grave;
IF be consolation,
IT'S the latest he will have,
For think the bullet reached him
AStle tender words were read,
SO that when the angels told it
Twas NO message to the dead!

How a Railroad Conduc-
tor Made a Thousand
~. Dollars .

The New Haven Register tells
the following very singular story,
showing how Conductor McKin-
ney, who runs one of the s'owl
trains" out Of New York, on the
New York and New Haven rail,
road, made one thousand dollars /:
One night near the close Of last
week, while taking up tickets, a
well dressed gentleman passed up
a bill which, at first glance. the
conductor thongnt 10 be SI0O
greenback note. He looked at
the passenger an instant and with
the remark, Il will attend to your
case direc ly," placed it in bis
pocket, intending to make the
change after passing through the
train. Upon q second examina-
tion Conductor Mckinney discov-
cred it to be genuine $1,000
Treasury note. He returned and
notified the passenger that be was
unable to change the bin. l"What
bill p asked the stranger. "Why,.
the 81, 900 note, you gave me-" II
never gave you any bill, gave.
you a ticket" " sA sbf
The conductor was surprised,
and said ifthat was sothe stranger
should have a check. The latter
replied, "You gave me no check.
but | handed you my ticket
The conductor remarked that be
WIS not in the habit Of doing that
way, but thought it possible he
had neglected 10 return a check,
especially when. a we'll dressed
tirird party sitting opposite spoke
up and said, "Certainty, that man
gave. you ticket; | saw him pur-
chase it at the New York oiIi, e |
when Thought Inipe - TIL. con.
ductor Thought it all very strange. !
and the next day consulted Mr.. |
Burrell, president of the Hartford
and New Haven road. The fol.
lowing Is the only theory that can
be arrived at: The stranger was
no doubt connected with some ex-
tensive- robbery. When the bill
was presented the conductor .scru.
tinized the man closely with a
view TO identify him when he re
turned with the change.
At close scrutiny the passenger
became alarmed, and hastily
adopted this course 10 allay suspi
cion. Firmly believing himself
suspected, he could think of no
more effectnal method of proving
an honest man, and took
this novel and rather expensive
course to do this. The witness to
the purchase and deliveryOf the
ticket, was "A confederate, who
came to the rescue at al opportune
moment. Whether any other
course would have been taken,
had there been any chance tc es-
cape, is of course a mystery. Con-
sidering that the stranger was
needlessl y alarmed, the whole aE-
fair presents a combination OF
circumstances rarely witnessed
even in the varying scenes Of a
railroad train. In the meantime,

A Novel Divorce Suit.
From the New York Tribune.


In the Superior Court, at
special term, on Saturday, an
application was made to Judge
Jones to have a decree of di-
vorce set aside on the ground
of fraud. Albert Peck, the
quondam husband, is a manu-
facturer Of paper collars in this,
city. In July, 1864, he married
Matilda S. Wilson, a widow
! with one child, at Washington.
Mrs. Peck was then % years old,
her husband claiming to be sew
eral years younger. For some
years their married life passed
pleasantly. She was well re-
ceived by Mr.. Peck's mother
and his other relatives. Final
ly some fancied slight led to
personal dislike on the part of
the mother-in-law, and she
promised to give him $4,000
if he would obtain a divorce
from his wife. This he agreed
to do, and the first step neces-
sary was to prove his wife
guilty of adultery. His book
keeper, Pratt, testified that he
had been criminally intimate
with Mrs. Peck. This testimo-
ny was given before a referee,
and Mr.. House, of Nassau
street, was the lawyer employed
by Mr.. Peck to procure the di-
vorce. The report of the Ref
Ieree was confirmed, and judg-
.ment Of divorce was granted,
Nov. 10, 1869. The case came
up on Saturday, when long ar
guments on each side were
made, and affdavits, and cor
respondcnce between the hus-.
band and wife were read in
court. Among the affidavits
was one which stated that, pend
ing the proceedings for a di-.
vorce, tie parties to the suit
continued to cohabit, and also
after the judgment had been
rendered up to the lcc,.h Of last
month, she making, it was al
legged, no opposition to the pro-
ceedings, since it had been
agreed between her and her
husband that after he had OBJ
tanned the $4,000 they would
again be married. Peck sub
sequently refused to carry out !
the terms of the agreement,
and the wife applied to Judge
Jones to have the decree set
aside. Mrs. Peck claims that
there has been fraud, denies the
charge of adultery, and gives as
a reason for her denial that
Pratt is still retained as Mr..
Peck's bookkeeper. Mr.. Peck
says he has kept Pratt because
he believes him the one seduced
and not the seducer. Decision
reserved. .-.-e.,efT sry !
