A young woman recently appeared be
fore the court at Liege, Belgium, with a
demand for a separation Of divorce from
Der husband, on the ground that the hus
band had hired, without her consent, a
suite OF apartments that she could not
occupy. She was informed that this simple
disregard of her wishes was not sufficient
ground for divorce. The law demanded
that she SHOULD follow her husband.
What the law compels ne to follow my
husband ?" Certainly" ave shall see,

attached herself to her husband, and fol
lowed him every step he took for two days.
This was sufficient TO attract the attention
OF the whole city, for the poor husband
could no more escape her than he could his
shadow. Finally the police interfered, and
she was arrested for causing gathering

joined dispatch to the st. Louis Republican:
WASHINGTON, September 26.-Mr. E. V.
Smalley, Of the New York Tribune, re-
turned today from an extended tour
through the South, in the course of which
he visited every Southern State except
Florida and Texas. He found the white
people who are not Office holders everywhere
solid for Greeley, except in Georgia, where
there is a small Bourbon element working
indirectly for Grant, under the leadership
OF Alexander II. Stevens, not large enough,
however, to throw the State into the hands
of the Radicals The negroes, Mr.. Smalley
thinks, will 90 almost en- masse for Grant,
except in Arkansas, where there is a strong
well organized colored Greeley element. He
found, however, in all parts of the South,
few intelligent blacks supporting the Lib
eral movement, but under great difficulties,
on account of the persecution Of the Grant
negroes, whose hatred toward these
traitors, as they style them, has in
many instances eliminated in brutal
assaults, and in a few cases in
unprovoked murder. He thinks that South
Carolina is the only certain State for Grant
in the South, and that Mississippi is the
only other Southern State which will pro-
ba bly, go for him. Florida, Alabama and
North Carolina he regards as doubtful
with the chances. however, in Greeley's
favor. Louisiana is very close, but the in
tiuence and political power of Governor
Warmoth maze it almost certain for Gree
ley. All the other States, he believes, are
sure for the Liberal ticket. In all the close
States he found the federal office holders
diligently at work for Grant, and album
dainty supplied with money and documents, |
They are flooding the country with gross
libels upon Mr.. Greeley, intended to inhame
the Southern mind against him. These |
they send to the white people. Among the
negroes they distribute Grant medals, tell
ing them they will let them wear them
until election and that they will give them
the medals if they vote right. In some
places the postmasters and revenue officers
rave been supplied with money to pay the
poll tax, and the Union League
md other secret organizations have been
among the blacks throughout
he South, and are exercising powerful
influence III keeping the negro vote solid

1t was after long day in In1ia that Sir
Harry Smith drew up to allow his command
to march past him into their quarters. The
infantry were the first to arrive, and to
them Sir Harry said: aha the infantry
soldier is a lucky fellow. The infantry
boy for me; none of your nasty horses to
clean. Get into camp, lie down, eat; there
you are. Yes, the infantry man is lucky
fellow" And so they passed. Not long
al ar the cavalry came up, whereupon Sir
Harry addresses them, too, in turn: "Ah
tie cavalry yes, the cavalry. Aha you
aIe the boys; you are the lucky fellows;
none of your foot-sore, tired, dusty infantry
gentleman; yes, you are the fellows for me;
fresh as larks; that's il; 60 along. The
cayalryman is a lucky fellow"

A Money Order Decision.

The Attorney General has decided that
under the statutes establishing the money
order system the remitter of money order
can not stop the payment of it after it has
passed into the hands of the payee, and
can not demand the repayment of the
amount deposited without at the same time
returning the order, This decision, while h
is of great practical Importance, is based
upon the special provision of our statute,
which differs in this respect from the pro-
visions OF the English statute on the same
subject.

Montana must be long way ahead Il
other places as healthy neighborhood. A
correspondent, hailing from that serene
region, writes: at is something very I'M
usual TO see delicate-looking person, I'M
less it is one who has come from the States
hunting health. Of course, people do die
here; but, Judging from appearances, with
out the aid Of statistics, should think the
rate Of mortality very low. Notwitbstand-
ing the general health it is a rare thing to
see fat person; they are generally small
or medium-sizad people. but tough, wiry,
ruddy-lookiug, brimfull of health and vital

with themselves and the rest of the world;
they are jolly and communicative, and al
ways have kind smile and hospitable in

the following:
On Wednesday morning last Colonel Dus-
tan, of New Orleans, was found dead in his
bed at the Pearce House. His death was
ascertalned to have been caused by NOR
phine, an overdose of which he had taken
on retiring to bed. Colonel Dustan was for
some years an an attache of the City Hotel,

years was a drummer, we believe, for the

charged, not only as a Representative in
Congress, but as Speaker of the House, with |
having received 81 $50, 900 of stock OF the |
Eastern division of the Pacific Railroad |
Company for my services and influence in |
procuring the passage of the original Paci-
tic railroad bill OF 1862. The Tribune |
gives the date of the act in the article |
in which it makes the charge not |
seeming to notice in its blind desire to as |
sail me that it was simply convicting itself |
of falsehood and folly. Now, gentlemen,
please observe that in 1862, when this act
was passed / had not taken my seat in Con-
gress. had not been elected to Congress.
Indeed | had not been nominated
for Congress when the act to which the
Tribune refers became a law. l was

demand for discounts continues strong, and
the offerings at most the banks are in ex-

have been for some time limited, and have
been readily taken, but second grade has
been more freely offered, and has not been
easily placed unless at outside figures.
For the present we continue to quote first
