Divorce I'm High Life.

NEW ORLEANS, January "a
divorce case involving some OF the
most prominent families Of New
Orleans, has been on trial for several
days past before Chief Justice Davis
of the Supreme Court, and was sub
mitted to-day. The plaintiff Mrs.
Sarah B. Hunt, daughter OF jacob
Barker, was married to defendant,
H. Hunt in January 1886; some
trouble arising her husband prose-
cuted for divorce in 1870 on. the
ground Of desertion, and thenDre-
married, Mrs. Hunt being in Eu
rope. On returning she sued her
husband for absolute delivery Oh the
ground that the first decree was il
legal and as a consequence OF insult
ficient evidence; and although the
law of Louisiana had been amended
so as to make one years absence
sufficient cause for a divorce, the
Legislature had unwittingly repeal
ed the old law by an amended code.
Judge Davis reserved his decision.

One OF the funniest duels on record
was that iu which Sainte Beuve was
engaged. 1t began to rain slightly
after he had taken up his position,
wnereupou he coolly held his umbrella
over his head with the Lett hand while
holding the pistol in his right. The
expostulations Of his witnesses had no
effect upon him. ut is all very well
to be killed" said the famous essaylst'
"but object to catching a cold in my
head" There is q droll story about
Perpignan, literary Bohemian, having
an encounter with Charles Maurice at
five PAGES. The former having tired
and contrved to miss, the other, taking
deliberate aim, ssid to his antagonist !:
"Well, now, before / send you into tne
other world, tell me what you are
thinking of" Il m thinking that II /
were in your place would not fire.
said Perpignan; and he owed his life
10 his presence OF mind.

RUsINEss PROSPECTS.

1t is the opinion on our best business
men that the recent financial panic will
be followed by season of more ttan
usual commercial prosperity. TIE
money which, during the period Of
anxiety, was Withdrawn from the banks
or kept from deposit, will again seek
investment, and instead OF being en-
ployed in doubtful ventures, such as
Pacific Railroad bonds, will he employ
ed in the more careful walks Of what is
known as legitimate trade. There is
always great difficulty in predicting
the financial condition OF this
country, there being so many elements
to consider that are not subject to ordi-
nary calculation. TIE action OF Con-
sress, the management OF the vas:
mouied corporations, the condition o.
the crops, and many other items that
cannot be foreseen, all exercise an im>
portant influence. upon the financial
projects OF the country and compel
business men to move cautiously, feel
ing their way.
The unusual and almost unexpected
prosperity of the holiday trade gives
some color TO the expectation OF the re-
turn OF good times" In this city,
and indeed generally throughout the
country, the Gales OF holiday goods have
been almost unexampled. Contrary 10
general expectation, the purchase oi
articles of luxury and taste exceeded
former investments in that line, and
there were in the receipts of the mer-
chants no apparent traces OF the finan'
cial panic through which the country
has so lately passed. 1fthis be lore
taste of what the dealers in Other
classes of goods may expect with lht
opening Of the new gear, there will o'
good canse for congratulation.
Inc currency whose Withdrawal
from circulation did much to Great
and continue the embarrassments o
the past four months is all in tn
country; it has been neither exporte'
nor destroyed. 1t is not probable tia
it will be much longer kept idle, and sc
without any considerable initiation
there is strong probability that mon
.ey will soon be plenty again, and com
? .merce Of all kinds will resume il

like turning Of that road over to the
government to be constructed and OPP
Grated at public expense. In these
DAYS OF Capitalization scheme for gov
ernmental control OF the railroad lines
has been already suggested, and if this
offer of the Texas Pacific road be ac-

will have been taken. Colonel Ton

chances are about even whether he

DR.. G. G. ZRRFFI, OF the South Keep
sipgton Art Training School, has late
" ferreted out a droll example of the
way in which legends and myths grow
in a community. There is near G!ouces'
ter parish church called Chosen"
concerning which there has long been
q legend that "it was planned by day
and built by night by invisible powers.
Out Of this mysterious saying there
was revealed q clear legend to the ell
feet that Chosen church was built in
the valley, but that every night the
devil carried the stones up 10 the top
OF the hill on which it now stands. DR..
Zerfi examined into the early records
OF the parish, and discovered that the
architect of the church, was Mr.. Day,
and ils builder Mr.. Knight, and he
plausibly suggests that these names
Day and Knigbt-gave rise to popu,
lar saying at the time it was planned
by Day and built by Knight; and when
the origin of the pun was forgotten
others took the words literally, and
from that moment the legend grew
which will among the country folks
survive the moldering walls OF tht
buildiug.-M ID. Conway

How the Survivors OF the Virginius
Massacre Behaved.

A Tribune correspondent tells how
the poor survivors of the massacre act
ed when they found they were free
"a moment later, and the ponderous
scow swung around under the stern OF
the United States steamer, and the pris-
oners were no longer masters OF their
own emotions. As one oil their number
stood ont prominently among his COM
raies, and as the truth flashed upon. him
he gave one Triumphant ehout, and
swung his hat wildly in the air. 1t
was the one spark needed to fire the
magazine, and his shout had not died
on the air when 1t was taken up and
echoed and. .reechoed by his companions,
and the shores and hsrbor! oi Santiago
rang with cheers for the flag OF the
United States. The Spanish officers
looked on in moody silence, but made
no other demonstration OF their disap.
proval. Like madnen, the liberated
captives rushed upon the deck OF the
Juniata. Like children, they cried
when they found themselves free
from their barbarian prosecutors. Thty
were hungry and many Of them nearly
naked. They were chothed only with
the thin. tat,ered garments which had
formed their prison garb. There on
deck were ranged the abundant stores
which the foresight OF the officers OF the
Jusiata had provided, and the needs OF
all were abundautly supplied. Many
of them clung to their ragged prison
garments moet tenaciously, and looked
on with almost mournful eyes when
they saw them thrown away. Said an
officer OF the Juuiata: 1t was one o!
the saddest and gladdest. sights | ever
saw when we gave them clothing, whies
they hardly knew what to do with, and
they clung to their rags as il they were
old friends.
