A Startling Drama in q Brooklyn
Court.

A RECENT New York dispatch says
A most dramatic and romantic scene
was revealed to-day in the Brooklyn
Court House. Mrs. Elizabeth Speyer,
who brings suit in the Brooklyn Court to
recover $40 900, as her dover of the estate
of the late John Speyer, was cross-exam-
ined to-day. She said "I was born in
Maine; when eighteen years old l left my
parents, who were poor, and was en-
ployed in a millinery store in Boston,
there | met Mr.. Hugh Miller, to whom
was married; we lived for awhile in my
native town, and then removed to Jamaica
Plains. It was at this place, over thirty
years ago, that my husband abandoned
me- / sought for him everywhere four
years after he abandoned me | was in
formed that he was dead" She then re-
lated the story of her marriage with Bell,
whom she had arrested and convicted for
bigamy, and marriage to Mr.. John Speyer.
AS Mrs. Speyer descended from the stand,
Mr.. SpeyeT's lawyer arose, and in a loud
voice called the name of Hugh p.
Miller. Mrs. Speyer stood amazed
and overwhelmed with confusion.
Her counsel were thunderstruck.
and the audience arose and viewed
the old man, who arose in an
that of a well to do farmer. He testified
that instead of abandoning his wife, she
abandoned him. He said: eve lett Ja-
maica Plains and came to New York to
live. Two weeks after, l returned home
at noon; my wife was gone and all the
furniture. found a note, stating that
that she had left me and would never re-
turn, and that | need not look for her. I
met her after that one day on the street,
and she told me she had married a man
named Bell. l accepted the situation,
and went to sea, which followed for ten
or twelve years then went to Worces-
ter, Mass, where I now reside.
During the examination OF this witness
Mrs. Speyer never removed her eyes from
him. She seemed struck dumb with
amazement. 1t was the first time she had
seen him since the day on the street,
when she had told him she was living
with Bell, over thirty years ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Gone, who, Mrs. Speyer
says, married her, is dead. His son ex-
hibited the record of marriages. In it
was the record of her marriage to Bell,
under the name of Elizabeth G. Earring
ton. There was no record of her mar
riage to John Speyer. Her vision of a
future was destroyed by to-day's develop
mentS,

Curious Statistics of Marriage.

To people of a statistical rather than OF
sentimental turn, the mathematics or
marriage in different countries may
prove an attractive theme of meditation.
1t is found that young men from fifteen
to twenty years of age marry young
women averaging two or three years old
er than themselves, but If they delay
marriage. until they are twenty or twenty
five years old, their spOuses average
year younger than themselves; and
thenceforward this difference steadily in
creases till in extreme old age OIL the
bridgroom's part it is apt to be enormous.
The inclination of octogenarians to wed
misses in their teens is an everyday oc-
currence, but it is amusing to find in the
love matches of boys that the statistics
bear out the satires of Thackeray and
Bslzac. Again, the husbands of young
women aged twenty and under average
a little above twenty-five years, and the
inequality of age diminishes thencefor-
ward, till for women who have reached
thirty their respective ages are equal;
after thirty-five years, women, like men,
marry those younger than themselv es,
the disproportion increasing with age,
till at fifty-fve it averages nineyea
The greatest number of marriages for
men take place between the ages of twen-
ty and twenty five in England, between
twenty-five and thirty in France, and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty.fve in Italy
and Belgium. Finally, in Hungary, the
number of individuals who marry is u
in a thousand each year; in England it is
Cd; in Denmark, SO; in France, 81, the
city of Paris showing So; in the Neither
lands, 50; in Belgium, 43; in Norway, 50.
Widowers indulge in second marriages
three or four times as often as WldoWs.
For example,. in England Qand OF MRS.
ers AGAINST 21 of widows; in Belgium
there are as to 16; in France, 40 to IL.
Old Mr.. WelIers paternal advice, to
fsbeware of widows" ought surely to be
supplemented by a maxim to beware Of
widowers.-LgppSneO Aascssne.
