THE WRIT OF HABE4s CORPUS,

On the Goth Of April last Eugene Thomas
was convicted of the larceny of pair of shoes
from W. W. Dalton and an appeal was taken
to the Criminal Court, bail being given for his
appearance. On the 2Sth Of May last the case
was called, and without the presence Of the
prisoner at the bar he was convicted and SEN
fenced to pay a fine of S25. Yesterday the
Messrs. Darlington, representing the defend
ant, received writ of hdbs1S corpus, and had
the prisoner Thomas brought from Jail, where
be had been committed on q eapiGS, to hear
judgment before Judge HUMPHREYS, when Mr..
E. c. Darlington argued that the prisoner had
been Illegally held. The point made By the
attorney was that Thomas was not present at
his trial, and that inasmuch as he had been in
limbo for several weeks he should now be re-
leased. Judge HUMPHREYS said that the argu-
ment in such q case should be made in open
court, and that the case should be brought out
on the reassembling Of the court on the 25th
inst. The prisoner was held to bail for his sp-
DeaTaQce.

Dancing feet were shaking at dancing feet IN
Liberty hall when the fracas happened. Enoch
Samuel Harris was whirling aud balancing
amid the mazes Of lively square dance, per
fectly unconscious that harm was near. This
inconsistencies, this decided ignorance Of the
whereabouts of John Gray is what's the matter
with his dishgured countenanee. Whether it
was deep-seated envy, or a habit Gray has OF
knocking men down without warning, that
caused Harris to fall so suddenly and COM
Pletely, does not appear in tie ey5egce. Al
that was developed was the simple TACT that,
while Harris was absorbed in TIE interesting
details of swinging his lGdyon the corner, Gray
caught him forcible shock on the end Of his
prOboscis, which sent the 6oub!cheadcu pains
cavorting about with his buiy with the rap!di,y

TELL YOUR WIFE.

Yes, the only way is to tell your
wife, just how you stand. Show her
your balance sheet. Let her look over
the items. You think it will hurt her
feelings. No, it won't do any such
thing. She has been taught to believe
that money was With you, just as little
boys think it is with their fathers, ter
ribly hard to be reached, yet mex
haustible. She has bad her susp icjon
already. She has guessed you were
not SO prosperous as you talked. But
You had SO befogged your money affairs
that she, poor thing, knows nothing
about them. Tell it right out to her,
that you are living outside your income
Take her into partnership, and I'll war
rant you'll never regret it. There may
be slight shower but, tina. is natural.
Let her see your estimate, and when
you eosae home again she will show
you that you have put your bills too
high. True, she has had an expensive
bonnet last winter, but sit is just as
good as ever; few shillings will pro-
vide it with new strings, and reft it
little the shape. she says sis almost
exactly as they wear them now" And
you will be surprised to see how much
less expensive she can make your own
wardrobe. She will surprise you with
new vest-not exactly unfamiliar some
how, looking as if in another shape you
had seen it before-yet new as vest,
and scarcely costing FIVE shillings where
you had allowed twenty.
