4 WASHINGTON SENSATION.


The social life Of Washington Is agitated
by tie rumor of a lawsuit brewing, wherein
a gay, dsshing widower, after winning tie
affections of young lady, had the day
agreed upon and the trOusseau purchased,
suddenly turned up with a wife that he
married in an adjoining city. The morti6ca-
ton Of the young lady-sn official, by the
ives mode more painful by the publica
ton thai la y5en given the affair. Not
only had the day Lsen fixed, but, IS we have
said, the trousseau obtained and the guests
invited. Her notification is somewhat
modified by learning f.om general rumor
that the poor girl is not alone. The gay
deceiver, it seems, flung his promises,
if not his affections, about in the
most pTomiscuOus manner. 1t
has been suggested that the suffer
ers hold an indie nation meeting and resolve.
There is great comfort in your resolutions.
But the suit for breach of promise is more
substantial, and generally ends By bringing
upon the head Of the offender the wrath,
contempt, and indignation of the virtuous
community, TO Say nothing of damages that
will be assessed.
The defendant in these cases has gener-
ally two suits-one with his wife and the
other with the disappointed. The wife is
generally very much disappointed, then in
dignant-a storm arises. What! this late
lover Of hers nov her loving husband, to be
in such scrape! Trihing with other wo-
mems affections-has he not been trifling
with hers? But the storm dies out, and
the wife from being an angry enemy be.

poor devil of q husband pleading piteously
