court proceedings in reference to property
in which AmOry introduced and acknOwl-
edged Angelina as his wife. In 1857 An
gelina Amory sued for a divorce from Jas.
Amory, and though a decree of divorce was
granted her. the settlement of the property
was never adjusted until the man died in
1865, possessed of $4,000 personal property
and S4J0.OOO in real estate, the whole of it,
according to Angelina's statement, being
derived wholly and solely from the pro-
ceeds of the property in which she was de-
creed an inchOate right of dover. She
claims that Amory died without lawful
issue and intestate.
She might have got out of the meshes of
the law long AGO and had everything set
tied TO her satisfaction before Amory died,
but she trusted to an accommodating law
yer, who told her she was deeply-wronged
woman. and offered to prosecute her case
and guard Der interests without fee or re-
ward. She accepted the offer, and discOv-
cred too late that her LAWYER really be-
longed to the other side That was very
unfortunate for her, and she did not dis
cover the trap into which she had fallen
until it was too late to repair the damages
to her fortune by the legal tactics. lmmedi-
dIcly dll6f TIE ucstlu VI JetlACo ~AhOl1f wv
of his brothers presented to the County
Court of Fond du Lac an instrument in
writing purpOrting to be the last will and
testament of their deceased brother, in
which Angelina was carefully excluded
from benefit. Letters testamentary were is
sued to them, and they entered upon the du-
ties oftheir trust. As widow, Angelina ap-
pealed from the will, and these proceedings
on the grounds that the will was not legally
executed, and that it was not the last will
and testament Of said Amory, and that the
will was produced by fraud and was not
freely and voluntarily executed. To this
appeal the defendants inteTpOsed the judg-
ment in the divorce case, and Angelina's
attack upon the will was finally dismissed
on the ground that the judgment in the di-
vorce suit was final and conclusive against
her in respect to her interest in the subject
matter of her appeal. She also charges
conspiracy to defraud her of her rights be-
tween her own attorney and Amory, and
prays the court to grant perpetual injunc-
ton restraining the brothers and sisters OF
Amory setting up the divorce judgment re-
ferred to, or the Judgment of the FOn du
Lac County Court, etc, and asks that she
NAV be decreed the lawful widow Of the
deceased, restoring her to her rights in the
premises, and placing her in the position Of
heir and widow, as though the deceased
had died intestate, and no legal proceed
ines had been taken to invalidate her title.
This is the case as it stands now before the
United States Circuit Court in Milwaukee.

PARAGRAPHICAL.

Cyon, a Russian, has invented an appa-
ratus which he calls the cardiograph, or
hea:t-reyister. Ii is warranted to disclose
the real feelings of the heart of the person
TO whom it is applied. Young men will at
once see the advantage of supplying them
selves with cardiograph before popping the
Exchange.
A few nights ago several pistol shots and
screams indicated a serious disturbance,
and constable Hill started for the scene in
great haste. Being anxious to ascertain the
hour of the night, in order to give evidence
ON that point should it become neces-
sarv, he made a break for the sun
dial on the public square, with view OF
obtaining the necessary information. The
night being extremely dark, he reached the
dial much sooner than he expected-in
fact, while going at headlong speed, he
stumbled over it and fell to the ground with
such force that the button holes in his coat
were shaken off and thrown three feet from
his body. The officer still intent ON learn
ing the hour. raised himself with difficulty,
bent over the disc of the solar chronometer,
and seeing no indications whatever Of time,
gave vent 70 his indignation by exclaiming:
40, sh-sh-sh-shucls. the d-d-d-dam thing
hasn't been wound up, and it's run down."
Fayetteville Express.
A fear has been expressed that the cele-
bration of Washington's birthday, is going
out of fashion but we learn from Lincoln
! letter to the Fayetteville Observer, that
this is not the case at least in that locality.
| According to this writer, the ''Panteuinean
Literary Society ofLincoln have 'reSolved,
annually to commemorate the birthday of
the efather of his country" Upon the an
niversary just past we learn
that ''first on the programme
was an Grafton by Mr.. U. 5. Mount,
subject, washington, the Pride of our
Country" Within the limited compass of
his Grafton much interesting and important
| information was contained. Nextfollowed
the reading of "Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress" by Miss LYDIA Simpson. This in
strument, replete with wisdom, counsel
and advice, is we'll worthy patient hear
ing and thoughtful consideration, at least
once a year, by every American citizen.
The programme closed with an Grafton on
"The Civil Progress of Our Nation" by
Mr.. o. S. Stewart. tits difficult conceive a
more intensely interesting programme than
the one set forth above, and that those Lin
coin people are thoroughly alive to the i'm
portance of gaining all the information pos
sible with regard to 1.-The Pride of our
Country" his Farewell Address," and
sThe Civil Progress ofOur Nation" is dem
onstrated by the assurance OF the writer OF
the letter that "The audience then retired
to await impatiently the next anniversary"
Just imagine an entire community waiting
impatiently for the return Of Washington's
birthday anniversary.

Cheer Up.
70 the Union and American:

To the Union and American:
There is a cheering prospect ahead for
our mechanics and labOrers. For the va
riouS branches Of industry, which have
been lauGuishing, an active revival may be
looked for. Many public and private build
inns Of more or less cOstliness are soon to
be erected. Tie architects have their
hands full in forming designs and plans.
All the skillful and trustworthy artiticers
and mechanics, as bricklayers, masons and
carpenters, are largely looked up and their
services engaged by the master builders, TO
bi-iu work as soon as the season is fayCIa-
bic. Good and prompt pay IS promised.
\ steady and well-paying employment will
brighten the homes Of the work
in- people, and the calico and sugar mer-
chan, may smile in expecting fair harvest.
Our working classes have suffered this
winter, and so have our men Of capital.
But the sharp pinch Of tie panic was most
hurfUl 10 the laboTer. Some are behind
in paving their rents and Others cannot
meet their grocery bills; and most of them
have exhausted their savings. Some Of
tbcin could not get work, some had to be
content with reduced prices, and others
AGAIN with reduced time. But not one Of
the poOrest amongst us-we can boast OF it
was found this winter in a starving
condition. Can New York, the great and
rich commercial centre, say the same?
No. Hundreds Of cases were brought to
Iiobt. of men, women and children in New
York city who died the death of lingering
starvation. Our city authorities provided
literally for the needy. Benevolent soci-
cites assisted in relieving the distressed.
No wonder there was 10 strike, no wild
gathering. nor excitement among the work

ANGELINA'S TROUBLES.
The Romance Of N Divorced woman
Court Asked TO Maze n Widow.

Court Asked TO Maze N widow.
Mrs. Angelina Amory is a woman at law,
likely to become as celebrated as Mrs. Gen.
AIyra Clarke Gaines and few other names
that, once in, never get out of court. WO-
men are the most persistent and undying of
all litigants. They enjoy amazing longevity
and cannot be outlaWed. When their cases
outlive them, as sometimes happens, they
baoueath their unsettled interests to other
Unconstitutional women who have
been trained in the mazeS Of interminable
shifts. and have breathed the atmosphere of
LAWYERS offices and courts from infancy.
The older a case grows of course the more
tanrIed it becomes and the harder 1t IS to
oct at its merits and settle definitely ac-
cording 10 the prescribed forms Of law.
New generations come and witnesses die,
and the suit goes on forever. In the mean
time the money interest which was and IS
tI1e life and soul of il, accumulateS and
rises at compound ratio until it becomes
enormous.
Angelina AmOry, a tough old woman Of
eroat expectatiOnS, is now waging suit in
1oIvinr a cool million before the United
states Circuit Court in Milwaukee. She
formerly lived in that city, but her life has
been too romantic to be passed altogether
in one place.
Sbs was married first in 1889 to VIM. A.

time ceased to look or grieye for him. She
related the facts Of her first marriage and
widowhood to counsel, and also to James
Amory. who wanted her for wife. Her
story was satisfactory to the lawyer and to
Amory, who, she says, married her in lo46.
She was acknowledged by Amory and his
relatives and friends as his wife Tor ten

tual consent, Amory having found his ANN

THE Netu Orleans PicGEHe says that on

tions of its city threw into the Mississippi
river forty-seven thousand counterfeit
nickles, all Of which had been received by
its lines in payment of fares during the
year. The spurious coins, it says, are
manufactured in New Orleans, but the
makers have not been discovered. The

thousand dollars for the discovery Of the
counterfeiteTs.
