BREACH OF PROMISE SUITS.

The mania for breach OF promise suits
seems to be enjoying an unprecedented run
in the courts, whether from the stringency
in the money market and the consequent
prospect of a hard winter ahead, or from
mere sentimental reasons, it is impossible
to say. Another prominent citizen OF Brook
lyn has just been called upon to mbesOm
his purse of $4,000 by a spirited young
lady who places that price upon the dOmes-
tic felicity of which she declares she has
been deprived. The plea advanced by the
defendant is that during the period of his
cOurting and subsequent betrothal, he sup
posed that the object of his affection was
a modste: but when he learned that she
was addicted to the manufacture Of paper
boxes, the shock was too great for Senti-
ment to stand, and he informed her that,
although he loved her tenderly, the last
link must be regarded as broken by the
band-box business. The judge is called up
Oh to decide the perpleXing question as to
whether the question of ones trade enters
into the question Of matrimony; and if so,
whether there is anything inconsistent be-
tween the vocation Of a bOX-maKer and
average reSpectability a more matter-Of-
fact view of the case was taken recently by
Il Montreal gentleman, who brought suit
against her who had played him false, for
$50, as equivalent for a gold ring and sun
dry trinEets he had given her, as well as
for the serious damage which his heart had
received at her hands. The fact that he
recovered only the cost Of prosecution is a
lesson to young men who are in the habit
of lavishing books, pictures, gloves, opera
tickets, carriages, ct cetera, upon the OBJ
iect of their affections, when there is no
real certainty of getting an adequate return
for their generosity.

COLUMBUS, @.
A Case Under the Civil Rights Law.

COLUMBUS, o. Nov. 26.-There is a
controversy going or here as to whether
colored persons shall be excluded from the
parquette andsdreSs circle of the Atheniam.
Several nights ago Richard Porter, negro,
presented himself and girl to the door
keeper of the Atheneum, with two tickets
for reserve seats in the parquette. The
door-keeper stopped him, and going to the
box office exchanged the tickets for one dol
lar and fifty cents, the price paid for them.
Porter refused the money and left in no
happy frame of mind. Yesterday he met
the dOor-keeper on the street, and after de-
Claring he had inSulted him by refusing his
tickets, knocked him down and beat him
terribly. For this, Porter was fined four
teen dollars. Manager Sargent declares
that the adminiSsiOn of cOlored people to
the parquette of his theater will injure his
business. This being the case he has a
perfect right to exclude any person or class
of persons. Mr.. Sargent has succeeded in
building up a splendid business for the
Athenium, and his patrons regret that any
question of this character has arisen.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 26.-,JOs. HOrmes, an
inoffending, respected German gardener,
was shot and mOrtally wounded at his own
house. seven miles west of this city, near
Warsaw. at I o'clock this evening, by a
man representing himself to be Fred.
Kleayer, of this city. Kleaver is baggage
master on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
DAYTON Railroad, and was in the city at
that hour. This leaves the identity OF the
murderer a mystery. The motive Is
thought to have been to rob Ilormes.
When the shot was fired, Mrs.
Hormes ran and gave the alarm
and the murderer ran away, but came back
and shot Hormes again. Both balls enter
ed the left temple, but being from a small
pistol did not penetrate deeply. The neigh
bors are intensely excited. Two we'll
dressed strangers had been seen walking
along the road in the afternoon, but were
unknown to the citizens. Hormes had
about 500 cash about five months ago, ana
il was thought he was keeping 1t IN his

mortal. No suspicion rests on hleaver
