Wants Il Divorce.

John NJ. Moore, of Westheld, asks the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, to divorce
him from his wife, Ellen ]. The circum-
stances under which :" the twain" were
"made one flesh" were little peculiar.
He married Ellen because he was paid to
do SO, and not because he loved her. He
was offered $500 by certain party to enter
the conjugal state with the maiden and
looking at the transaction prosperity ely
from pecuniary point Of view, he was
pleased, and fulfilled his part Of the bargain
by making her his wife. That she was
chaste, he did not for one moment doubt
He is certain now that the ways of some
one had been dark, for in three months
after wedlock Ellen became q mother, and
the party who had promised to pay him
$500 (the father of a young man named
Francis Gaylord) only gave him S400.
Young Gaylord is the party named by the
girl as the father of her child

A First Class Scamp.

A Detroit paper Of the 18th inst, says
A Brooklyn official, named Prell, arrived
in Detroit yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of making the arrest of man named
James Kingsbury, on a charge of bigamy.
Prell had letter directing him to a man
ufacturing establishment on Atwater street
where he expected to find Kingsbury at
work, but on going to the shop he learned
that his man left for Saginaw the day be-
fore. 1t seems that Kingsbury, who has
until lately resided in the east, married
woman at Mt. Morris, New York, about
seven years ago. He lived with her about
six months, and then ran away, turning up
at Jersey City soon after as minister of the
gospel, and having another wife. While the
first wife was taking measures to have him
arrested, Kingsbury slipped off to New
Haven, stealing several hundred dollars
from his second wife. He was not heard
of again for ten months, and was then dis
covered serving as clerk i'll crockery
store, and had been married about month,
the third wife being respectable and wor-
thy young lady. The brother of wife No.
2 was complainant in having Kingsbury
arrested, and the bigamist was placed be-
hind the bars of police station to be taken
back to Jersey City. In some manner,
which has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned, he made his escape from the sta
tion, and though closely pursued for sew
eral days, he got into Pennsylvania and
concealed himself.
The relatives of wives one, two and three,
then made up shake purse and employed
an official to spend his whole time looking
after the gay deceiver. He looked for sew
eral months, and then gave up the chase
until he saw notice in Harrisburg paper
that Kingsbury had married the widowed
andlady of boarding-house in that city,
robbed her of money and jewelry, and
been arrested in the act Of absconding.
The notice was week old when seen, and
when Prell reached Harrisburg Kingsbury
had induced wife No. to withdraw her
prosecution, and once out of Jail, had
made successful escape. From what can
be learned, Kingsbury was gallivanting
through Ohio and Virginia for two or, three
years, taking wife here and there, and it
is quite certain that he came to Detroit a
month ago from the Ohio State Peni-
tentiary, having served short term there
for being connected with horse-stcaling
scrape in Lorain county.

A Burglar Ont Of Pocket.

The Burlington, Iowa, HaOkeye says =
At dark and early hour one morning
not long since the dog belonging to one of
our most prominent citizens INDUCED in a
big noise, which was followed by the slam
ming of the gate, and the sound of rapidly
re.reating footsteps.
The good man of the house on exam
lining the field of the short but decisive fray
was surprised by the discovery Of roll con-
tanning considerable amount of money.
1t is conjectured that one pocket served
the burglar both as bank and arsenel, and
that in pulling his pistol in comp liment
to the dog he pulled also his greenbacks.
Our friend suggests that he viii be glad to
receive such calls, at tho same price at al
times.

sister at 13.

enjoying himself, and while coming into

is a boss bricklayer for Piper. There
were three or four men in the car who
protested against any row, and a stout
butcher, when he saw leonard going to
use a knife, attempted to get between
the irate parties, but Leonard got round
the peace-maker, and, holding the knife
IN the heel OF his hst,p gave two stabs
in that way, one of which went into the
left side above the heart, while the other
cut the arm. All hands were scared.

that examined Hough pronounced the
wounds fatal, and that was the opinion
of all subsequent physicians. He was

carefully yesterday, and found the lungs

EDITORS APPEAL-NOw that you
have returned from your classic revel-
ries in the "Garden of the Gods,h from
your grateful prisons at the Olympus
of the Occident," and your dev0ut obla-
tons on the shores Of that " celestial
lake where the angels We're won't to
battle and comb their tresses with sun
beams, " and now back again on the tri-
pod of the editorial tread-miII in the
center If this vast abysmal ''vapOr
bath" you are in fitting mood to enlight-
en- the planting interest on the subject
above indicated. Why is it that the
cotton planters in their present impov-
erished, Frustrated condition are sub
.jected TO the outrageous tax absolute
extOrtiOn) of from five to ten million
dollars annually, in repressing and re-
drayingtheir cotton at Memphis, when
the railroads and rivers can transport it
as cheap without this expensive process,
as exemplified in Grenada, Mississippi;
Huntsville, Alabama; Helena, ArkaR-
sas, etc, where no deduction whatever
will be made for repressing to transport
to New Orleans or to New York; Then
why require it at Memphis, and why
are they striving for a still greater dem
sity OF compression? And why the
planters thus tamely submit to this
atrocious wrong, l can't opine, unless
%prOstration necessitates vassalage. This
is a big question for US and we want it
answered. Now that the great Tom
Scott has got hold of the Charleston,
and McCOmbs the Mississippi railroad,
we shall look for justice.
respectfully ask you to answer this
through the columns of the APPEAL, as
it has always heretofore defended the
planting interest as primary and para
mount to all others. By so doing you
will bring light from some Of those dark
railroad rings. Cotton is shipped from
Mobile to New York at four dollars per
bale, compressed; while from Grenada
the freight is seven dollars and twenty
seven cents a bale, and no deduction al
lowed for compression. How is this for
Grenada?
This wrong shall have no rest. VIII
