Among the many men thrown among rs BY the
late war was one by the name Of A. T. Lille,
Who claimed to have served as musician during

desired employment After short time he OBJ
tanned work ut the Government Printing Once,
and, aside from propensity to forget minor inan-
eial Transactions In which the party Of the second
part suffered, there appeafedt 10 b nothing un-

gently, and alter time concluded 10 tako unto
himself wife. Casting his eye around he soon
found one to suit HE fancy, and the pair were
made one. A short time aftef they were married
the lady began to notice that although he made
good wages every month, he never brought more
than about half Of It home
She inquired the cause; but he only gave eva
sive answers, and all her efforts to hnd out where
his money went to were unayailing. Time passed
on and three children were born to them, two of
which have since died, and the shortness Of his
funds had become 90 common that his wife no
longer thought 1t worth while to trouble herself
about It. But suddenly there came q change. He
began to bring his full wages home, and his wife
thought the mystery would soon be solved, and It
was, but In way she little expected. A few day
ago Superintendent Clapp received o letter from
. lady in Vermont, signing herself Mrs. A. T.
Lille, making inquiries about her husband, who,
she said, was working at that once, and from
whom she had not heard for come time.
Mr. Ciapp sent for Lille, and, showing him the
letter, asked him If he knew anything Of the lady
in question. de hesitated for awhile, but finally
admitted that she was bis wife, but that he had
not lived with her for number OF years, and that
he had heard she had obtained o divorce. Mr..
Clapp took the defence for what It was worth,
and told Lille that he had no further use for his

The Council met yesterday at p. m, Mr.. VII

by Rev. @. A. Hal. e CsE
Mr.. Thompson suggested, as the Council mac
received no data to work upon, that II take up the
codihcatIon Of the laws, as prepared and submit
ted by the commission, and act upon them, In or
der that as much progress could be made Win
them as possible He thought It unnecessary 70
give the report an entire reading at the present
time, and recommended that It be referred to the
Judiciary Committee when appointed.
Mr.. Gulick thought as many OF the laws were
already In force that they would not require three
readings, as provided for BY the organic act, In
introducing new bills, and much time that would
be consumed in this manner could be saved.
Mr. Brooks regarded It necessary that the eodi-
fcation should be put IN such shape as TO give IL
the appearance Of bill, and add to It's validity.
Mr. Browne introduced resolution, which was
agreed TO, authorizing the president to procure
twenty four copies Of the codiication Of the laws
for the use Of tho members Of the Council.
The motion Of Mr.. Thompson referring the re-
port 70 she Committee on the Judiciary, when ap-
pointed, was then adopted.
On motion Of Mr.. Buksr, It was agreed that
when the Council adjourn It be until Monday
next.
I Mr. Buker was desirous OF hearing the report Of
the committee on the Governors message, and
thought the Council should complete its organiEa-
ton and be prepared to proceed to business.
Mr. Brooks stated that the committee would re-
port 1t the next meeting Of the. Council, but
that It mattered little about It, as the lower
house had spoken In opposition TO adjournment,
and It was well known that the Council could not
adjourn without their cooperation.
At 6:25 O'Clock, on motion of Nj. Gedney, the
Council adjourned.
