A sac. 900 Prize Ticket Stolen.

A curious case in which is involved the larceny of a Havana lottery ticket that drew $30,000 prize, came up at the Jefferson Market Police Court. The complainant and the defendent are Greeks. Kietro Thomas is the not very Grecian patronymic of the former, while the latter rejoices in the name of Men assas Barsese. Thomas charges that fifteen months ago, in Chicago, while living in the same room with Barsese, the latter stole from his pocket @ Hav- ana lottery ticket that had drawn $3O,- 900 prize. Barsese, who is in business in New York, admits that he was in Chicago about the time of the larceny but denies ever having any acquaintance with Thomas. The latter stoutly asserts that Barsese is an old friend of his. As both men speak English very imper- fectly,- the above statements were elicited with great difficulty. Counsel for the prisoner argued that the theft of 8 lottery ticketis not larceny, and even if it were, the offense being committed in Illinois, New York magistrate had no jurisdiction. Thomas, after he discov- cred the larceny, telegraphed to Havana and had payment of the ticket stopped. The Greek Consul was requested to send an interpreter, but refused.

Obscene Literature.

The most horrible facts have been brought to the knowledge of an ex- change in reference to advertisements which appear in few journals. It ap- pears that lists of pupils in ladies' and boys schools are obtained, under false pretenses, and then disgusting circulars are forwarded to these pupils by the manufacturers of obscene books. MT. Comstock, of New York, has been work ing hard to bring some of the offenders to justice, and he has seized about ten tons of the most loathsome printed matter ever yet sent into the world to do the devils work. The trouble is that he cannot bring the publishers and printers of these internal books to jus: tice. They are scattered broadcast all over the land-they are advertised in thousands of newspapers, and as the traffickers in this ware are wealthy, and the police too oftengo shares with them, it is almost impossible to get at them Even the circulars in which these pro- ductions are advertised are enough to poison the mind of any innocent girl or boy.

A Singers TrOubles.

The most extraordinary divorce case that has ever occupied the attention of the courts in Minnesota, has developed a new phrase to-day, which has created no little excitement in St. Paul. Some time ago Mrs. Dodge, the wife of Ossian B. Dodge, who is extensively known in all parts of the United States, brought a suit of divorce against her husband based on alleged infdelity and bad treatment generally. MT. Dodge was formerly a concert singer, and many years ago gained considerable notoriety by paying $6OO or more for ticket to one of the Jenny Lind concerts. He afterward edited and published week ly newspaper in Boston, called the Museum. and finally, after variousvicis- situdes in Cleveland, Ohio, and else where, made his way out here, where he has prospered financially, and att tained a prominent position among our business men. Dodge is a shrewd, energetic Yankee, is full of fun, tells 8 good story, and sings 6 good song, and has hosts of friends in this region.
 It may well be imagined that the suit brought by Mrs. Dodge caused great deal of excitement in this community, forming general topic of discussion among all classes. The interest excited by these proceedings was greatly heightened when Dodge commenced a cross action, placing Mrs. Dodge in the position of defendant, and introduced evidence of the most damaging charac- ter to the lady's reputation for morality. But the full mersure of popular excite ment was only revealed to-day, when Mrs. Dodge put in an affidavit in which she confessed plot to entrap her hus- band into unfaithfulness denied all the other charges she had heretofore made against him, and specifically declared that the counsel, one Finley, who repre- sented her in the divorce suit, was the author of all her troubles, and the chief conspirator against her husband. She further alleged that she had been under the complete control of Finley, until he proposed to her to poison her husband, when she lost all confidence in him and determined to repair the wrong she had done.
 The affidavit made before the Judge of the court in which Mrs. Dodge had brought her suit was presented to MT. Dodge's counsel as they were preparing to argue. against motion for continu, ance, and was complete surprise to them. Finley not being in court the Judge declined to hear any motion until he appeared; but of course this affidavit is regarded as an end to the proceedings in which Dodge occupies the position of defendant. What he will do now remains to be seen.-St
 Paul Paper.

Rad Bill Casey.

The heroism of ''Bad Bill Casey" is told by a Pittsburgh correspondent Casey was killed in the recent railroad accident at Scrubgrass. He is describ ed as Ca character who richly deserves to be done up in verse to have his name written in characters of living light in that book where the good and evil of mans thoughts, words and deeds are recorded" Casey and number of others were confined in car which was hurled over the embankment.
 The fierce flame of petroleum sur rounded the car on every side but the occupants, Casey among the number, kicked out the windows, crawled out, and perched themselves upon the trucks At this moment the pitiful cries of Jimmy Scott, @ newsboy, was heard, too small to help himself from the wreck that entangled his legs. Casey made his way through the smoke and flame and water to where the little fellow was. He entered the wreck in 6 moment afterward there was Q crash. The weight of the trucks had caused the bottom of the car to give way, and all within, three in number, perished. After the fire had been extinguished, the boy and Classy were found near each other, the latter fastened in such 6 manner in the wreck that he could not extricate himself. The fire had not touched 0 hair of his exquisitely- ranged moustache, and he appeared so natural as to be easily recognized by his acquaintances. His neatly kidded hands were firmly clenched, and his arms were perfectly rigid and extended as in the act of clasping the child to his breast.
 His countenance wore look of stern determination, as if the stubborn spirit had yielded to the relentless destroyer not without a fierce struggle. Casey was about 32 years of age, handsome, reckless, devil-may care fellow, of splendid physique, and had the carriage of an autocrat. He had fought prize battles, gambled for large and little stakes, and bore on his person as many scars from fistic and other encounters as the revolving turret of 8 war mon- itor. Only few weeks ago, at Petro- lia, he drubbed man soundly in re- tsentment for an insult that had been offered him, and the editor of rural newspaper who commented on the deed was threatened with having his ears split. Casey was devotedly attached to his aged mother, and though the years of his fast, fierce existence were spent with associations that cared little fol God and less for man, he supported and provided for her with every comfort until her decease, about year ago The recording angel, surely, with the latest and noblest and brave act of poo1 Bills sinful life, will drop tear of pity over his errors and blot them out for ever."

An UnweIcome Serenade.

Very unpleasant nuptials these are which were celebrated in Hubbard, Trumbull County, Ohio. As the pair was an extremely old pair, the young men of the community sarcastically serenaded the couple. After a short specimen of their musical powers, the bride appeared at the door and tender ed the crowd five dollars for refreshment if the intruders would only go peace fully away. This proposition was accept ed, and three delegates approached to receive the hush-money, when the vicious old lady sprinkled them freely with sulphuric acid. One of the min strels will lose both eyes, another one eye, and the third was dreadfully burn ed, and will not join the festive epitha- lamic chorus again for some time to come

The New Postal Law.

The Postal Appropriation bill ap- proved March 5, 1873, contained the following clause:
 Provided, that all laws and parts of laws permitting the transmission by mail of any free matter whatever be and the same are hereby repealed from and after June 30, 1873."
 This abolishes the franking privilege held by Congress and so many Govern ment officers.
 This also abolishes section 35 of the act of March 8, 1863 but the pub fishers of weekly newspapers may send to each actual subscriber within the county where their papers are printed and published one copy thereof free ot postage" and requiring that after June 3Oth, all papers must pay postage.
 This abolishes section 45 of the same act: "All publishers of periodicals, magazines, and newspapers which shall not exceed sixteen ounces in weight shall be allowed to interchange theil publications reciprocally free of post age provided, that such interchange shall be confined to single copy of such publication"
 The laws remain unchanged whiof permit prepayment of postage on news papers at the office of mailing or deliv cry, at the option of the subscriber, anc prepayment by newsdealers "upon theil packages received"
 No reduction of postage rates ha' been made. Farnsworth's bill, whicl allowed papers to go free to county sub scribers, and exchanges to go free passed the House and failed in th' | Senate
