IT WASN'T HER HUSBAND AFTER ALL.

II WASN'T HER HUSBAND AFTER ALL.
"A story has gone the rounds of litera-
ry gossip about an attached pair of
names not unknown to fame, who went
to board where people also went, who
were literary and Of good taste. The
lady. thinking that as she and her hus-
band were all in all to each other, it
was as well they should remain SO, de-
sired of the hostess that there might be
no iutroductions to other boarders.
which was observed. Various tender
passages between the amIable pair on
their way to and from the dining-rooIp
edited the fanli ! during the season.
In time Boston man came to board
and ON his way to the basement at din.
ner, going dow late, he heard light
laugh behind him, and figure not SO
light as the laugh, sprang on his shoul
ders and claimed ride down stairs
rhe Boston man took things coolly
carried his burden down stairs into TIC
dining room, and shot her into vacant
seat at the table. The lady looked up
to find her husband already there be-
fore her. and every eye was turned
to watch these extraordinary proceed
ings. There was nothing to be done
but to burst into tears which she did.

PUBLIC DEMoRALIzAIIoN.-T There conld
scarcely be produced more positive evi-
dence of the demoralizing tendancy of
purity politics at the present time, than
in the fact that the party papers Of Hip
pie Mitchell generally defend him
against the shameful exposures lately
made, all the material + cts Of which
are admitted, and some Of the opposi
tlon papers palliate a life of crime ON
the plea of ''yol thful indisere,ions,"
and domestic troubles" We have an
mixing of the nature of some of those
domestic difficultiesi in the following par
graph. copied from late paper pub
iished in Venango, Pennsylvania:
There Is now employed in this CITY
as a house servant, woman who lew
short years ago was the wife vi u rising
young lawyer III Butler county. After
her marriage there WAS short year of

woman To whom he mad bound himself
by The most sacred obligation to love,

natural life. He attempts TO shields
himself from public inquiry into the
nature of his domestic troubles," on
the ground that they are sacred to
the privacies of domestic life; plea
equally available i'll aduletry, blgamy.
1t Is known that this man came 10 Ore
5on with another woman wuom he
passed upon society as his wife. We all
know now that that woman Was not his
lawful wife; and the natural Inference
is that the lawful wife and ltglti. .uate
child We're deserted for TINS woman, and
The alias lame was assumed to avoid
The legal consequences of penitentiary
offence.
On the death OF that woman, mar
rlage Was contracted by the same Nipple,
under an assumed name before divorce
Was obtained from his first wife, thus
adding the crime of bigamy, adultery
and change of name for criminal pur-
ose. None of these acts are denied.

never free from social scandal, and no
man Ill that State eve did more to de-
demoraiize and bauc the fou, tains OF

evenings that be misses, The young man
keeps . horse and usually drives out early
in.the evening, and comes home early in
the morning, along about one or two
O'Clock. Now smitherS Is very humane
man. In TACT, he would make an excel
lent person for President Of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
and he could not bear the idea Of his horse
Standing out eating post oats, while he
was enjoying himSelEin the society OF his
beloved. So he sometimes unhitched his
horse and put him in the stable, or turned
him in the field. ia L5i.L ,
One night last week smithers called
upon his chRrmer, and, expecting to re-
main rather late, he embarrassed his horse
and turned him out in q field. smithers
then went in the house Of his beloved and
remained happy In her society until some:
time after midnight he left then and
went ont in the field after the horse. But
be couldn't catch that horse. BE tried
every known method Of enticing the AMI
NAL to him, but It was no use. emithers
worked about two hours OF the JOB, but
the horse would not be caught = was
getting pretty well along towards daylight
and smithers had 70 DO home before aix
o'clock, as he had thekeys to his eStAb-
lishment In his pocket What to do he
did not know. To remain whore he was
could not be thought Of for . moment,
and to walk four Of i've miles was most
too much oil q task. But he finally con-
cluded that 70 walk home WnS his only
chance, so he started. ,Smithers Is no
great walker, and it was long after day
light when he reached homo. After he
had opened up he sent his brother out 70
tho home Of his adored for the horse, and
he was safely brought to town shortly be-
fore noon. Smithers has q horse for sale
which can be bought cheap.
