DESERTED WIFE AFTER IGAMIsT.-
pn the year 1870 man called Voght
kept some kind of saloon in New York
city, where strangers were quietly taken
IN. One Dnssin, Russian, with his
young daughter, by chance, unfortunately
tumbled into the place. where they were
properly cared for by Mrs. Voght, who is
apparently person little acquainted with
worldly ways. Three weeks after the for
came aware that her husband and the Rus
slams daughter were criminally intimate,
and there was a scene.
few days afterwards the hayward hus.
band informed his wife that he was COM
PEELED to visit Rhode Island. and his visit
has been long one The lone wife did not
hear of him until few months ago, when
she learned that he was located in New
Orleans. AS soon as convenient she packed
up aud packed after ohim, landing here
several days ago, bringing two of the most
beautiful children that a parent ever fon-
died. She found Superintendent Badger,
and plainly but teehngly told her misfor-
tunes. Voght was hunted and found at No.
70 st. Louis street, married to and living
with the Dussin girl. This fact was fur
nished the grand jury, and when that body
was satisfied that the deserted wite's state
ments were correct a true bill for bigamy
was found against Voght, and before he
could kiss wife No. = he was prisoner. He
will now be prosecuted as far as the anger
of scOrned woman can reach, and it is
doubtful if she ceases her efforts until she
sees him go to the Penitentiary. The
mourner declares that all she desires is to
see the unfaithful husband punished as far
as the law will permit; as for him, he has
no place in her affections. On the contrary
she can only despise and hate him.
Nor INTENDED AS A JOKE.-Through care
lessness the reporter yesterday morning
sent the wrong person to a life term in the
Penitentiary, and now we take the untor-
tuuate gentleman out of his bad position to
set him right:
Ediios- ReDubHcGn-In your issue of to day
find my name as being sentenced to hard
labor for life. | am the sheriff of st. Martin
parish, on the way to Baton Rouge with a
prisoner by the name of Walker Sam.
which party am going TO lodge there for
Fife, and not mvself. Yours respectfully,
.. DELAHOUSSAYE JR.
MT. Delahoussaye can not possibly lament
Che mistake more than does the reporter.
However, when the sheriff returns to New
Orleans, as he must soon, on his way home, |
shis local will be greatly pleased to see
him. Mr.. Delahoussaye, when at home, |
lives only few miles from Baton Rouge, |
yet the routes of travel compelled him to
come 10 this city and then make long trip |
up the river. Could he have gone from st. |
Martinsyille over the country to Baton |
Rouge there would never have been any |
call tor this item. Mr.. Deahoussaye left |
with his prisoner last evening.
WILL BE THERE.-The members of Mis-
sisippi Fire Company No. . will this evening
take informal possession of their new house
on Magazine street on which occasion the |
champion horns will be given over to Eagle
No.. There will be no meaningless speech
making and no waste of valuable time. All
will be genteelly and emphatlcally done.
ENDEAvORING TO AGATE A NUISANCE
Nearly all of Thursday night, even until
two O'Clock yesterday morning, Delta, near
ROydras street, was more than bowling
on account of the noise in the
house kept by John Cowen, sometimes
called Elephant johnny, for short. 1t is a
double barreled house, a resort for many of
the worst characters who roam the levee.
There they congregate, and drink Governs
ritied WHISKY, every dose of which contains
oither a fight or drunk. On this grand.
gloomy and peculiar occasion, the proprle-
tor felt uncommonly clever, and therefore
repeatedly invited all the bummers to stand
up and take drink of liquid delirium ire
mems at his expense. All accepted the
treat, without exception, consequently
that immediate neighborhood had a SER
anade, in comparison to which the harsh
est voices of thousand halfstrangled

PONIES ever warbled by Jenny Lind. Police
men IN that section were unhappy, as they
1isliked to enter so delicate domicile |
Corporal AXelsOn, on his early morning |
