he had no authority to grant the courtesy-,a
clear case of lodging. 1t was evident that the
authorities of both cities were disposed to give
Jim tho cold shoulder. But the plouS young
railroad man was not TO be put down this way.
He announced that If he could not hire the
Boston theatre to pray in ne would charter a
barge and take his regiment out into Boston
har6or to do Sabbath duty there. Fully re-
solved upon this course, he marched the boys
down to one of his magnlhcen. sound boats on
Friday afternoon and embarked them Tor the
Hub.

marched down fremont and Hanover streets

tants granddaughter trafickipg and dlcker;
ing and rushing TO the sidewalks to gaze upon
the unparalleled spectacle. First came the
Ninth Regiment band, perfectly gorgeous IN
their bright scarlet uniforms, over one. hun

Cesar returning with his legions from the
conquest Of GauI. A brilliant staff rode at bis
heels. The regiment marched behind, the
platoons as even as rows In q corn held, and
the men fne-looking fellows, and most OF them

doing their best to amaze the fankees.
They were accorded an enthusiastic recep-
ton, marched around the monument and re-
turned to Boston Common, where they had o
review. Everything passed of pleasantly, but
the thought uppermost in the minds OF. the
| Bostonians was, "Where will Fisk say his pray.
| ers tomorrow ?" The colonel had provided
for that. Sunday opened with q pelting rain
the hotel, (the st. James, the best In Boston,)
wondering about their devotions, until aftec-
noon, when the colonel put them into fifty
omnibuses, 1.-TWO loads eacr.> and had them
driven to the Boston Theatre, on washington

by a sermon by the chaplain, from Proverbs
XIV, 80. 1t was long, but doubtless die the
Bostonians who heard IL some good. The
colonel then addressed the men with a few re-
marks, thanking them for their orderly be-
havior, and promising g hrlng them TO bos-
ton again. The services we're closed by the
unique transactions, tho Co.onel led his vete-
rams back to the omnibuses, aud they rode to
the Old Colony Depot to embark for New
York. They marched into town to-day, and
up Broadway to their armory, looking as fresh
and sober as If they had only been on q little
drill at Tompkins's square. A morning paper
announces that Mr.. Fisk Is about to study Tor
the ministry.
Some scandal is being created by a libel suit
brought against Henry Ward Beecher by the
woman brokers, Woodruff d Clafln. Mr..

new serial novel by Mrs. Harriet Beecher

tend are meant for them. They lay their dam
ages at the modest sum Of $3.50, 600. OF course
this Is only an attempt to advertise themselves
at the expense Of Mr.. Beecher. The poor par

Writing of Harriet Ward Beecher reminds NE
to mention that she has another sensational
novel In press. It Is to be called Pink and
White Tyranny" and will expose the wrongs
suffer from women, particularly from their
wives. Mrs. Stowe Is determined to have this
sort of slavery abolished, and, as the subject
is popular, the book Is expected to have rs
large q sale as ''Uncle Toms Cabin"
A panic has broken out among the owners
of horseiesh. A new and mysterious pestl-
'lence has seized the horses, and thousands In
public and private stables are dying or pros
trate. It seizes the animal in the shape of
paralysis In the spine, the hind legs become
ilfeless and insensible to the touch, the ribs
and hips swell, and general debility follows.
Thrc lgh all this, the horse will eat and drink
heartily. Nearly all the cases were fatal at

A recollection of the once famous Forrest
divorce case has been revived by the death Of
Mrs. Anne Sedley, on Staten Island. She was
the sister to Mrs. Forrest. and lived with her
at the time the domestic difficulties in the
family commenced, and was one OF the most
important of Mrs. Forests witnesses. A few
wears after the trial she married Harry Sedley,
an actor Of some reputation, who Is now the
theatrical editor OF the New York Times. The
case which excited 80 much Interest twenty
years ago Is almost forgotten. Mrs. Forrest,
or Mrs. Sinclair as she afterwarf. called her.

husband. The old tragedlan plays occasional
engagements at the theatres Il believe he ap-

in retirement In Philadelphia. He belongs al

at. maturity know him not, aud can hardly
realize the Juror his acting produced In those
days when he appeared by night in the theatre
as Othello, and by day In the courtroom as
the injured husband of real life. Most Of the
performers in the courthouse tragedy have
passed away, John Van Buren,, Nathaniel P.
