Inc Boston COn3njOntCeQGLR Is re-
sponsible for the following: "Gener-
al Butler said the other day there
were two supremely happy women in
Essex county-Mrs. Butler, who re-
jOiced that her husband was TO be
kept out OF Washington; and Mrs.
Thompson, who was delighted that
her husband was going to Washing
tonp'
We are told that "Alrs. Monroe,
mother-in-law of George Taylor, of
of Kenosha, arrived at his house the
other day and left him a check for
$4,000" If all mothers-in-law
were designed and built strictly after
the model of Mr.. Taylor's the
stranger from abroad would mistake
this unfriendly world of ours for
Paradise much oftener than he does
now.-C COmieT-JOQ7pdL.
A general revolt against foreign
ers is imminent at Para, in the Bra
lillian Empire. 1t seems that the
interests of Portuguese subjects
have been somewhatimpaired by the
enmity between the natives and the
Portuguese, and that gunboat was
dispatched by Portugal to afford
them protection. The Para Tribune
thereupon came out with an inham-
matory article melting the natives
to revolt.
An Election for Mayor was held
at Columbus, Mississippi, last week.
In the evening when the ballots were
being counted out and the Republi-
can candidate was discovered to be
ahead, the gas was suddenly turned
off all over the city and a band of
ruffians seized the ballot-boxes and
totally destroyed them, thus leaving
the city with Democratic Mayor,
and without law applying to the
case to secure a new election.
DR.. Merrill, of Philadelphia, visit
ed Mrs. Hansen. She invited him to
her room to see the new furniture.
The guiless Doctor went. Thehus-
band rushed in, flourished a pistol
and claimed damages. The Doctor
would not damage worth a cent
Then Mrs. II pushed him on the bed
and in the scuffle that followed he
got shot in the knee, and had tO
have his leg amputated. And now
Mr.. aud Mrs. I'll. are sued for may
hem. Did the Beecher- Tilton mat
ter inspire this man and woman.
The Court again decided in Til
toms favor Saturday, refusing to
grant an order requiring Mr.. L. to
file a bill of particulars, giving times
and places Of criminal conduct on
the part of Beecher and Mrs. Til
ton. Beecher's counsel propose to
appeal, which is constructed by
some of Mr.. BIS former defenders
into a scheme for delaying investiga-
ton. Tilton's anxiety for an early
trisl, and Beecher's evident anxiety
for postponement, has had the effect
to materially change public senti-
ment in New York City.
The refusal of the Baltimore and
Ohio and Grand Trunk Railway
Companies to take part in the grand
"pooP to advance rates, seems to
have frustrated that plan, and it is
now announced that there will be no
advance until December, and then
only a small one. Mr.. Garrett there
fore stands before the country in the
attitude of q man who, having pow
er to control the price Of freights,
has kept them down to warm wealth
er rates. He can afford to do this
because his road has been kept clear
of rings and its securities clear of
water.
"The course of true love never
did run smooth" and Christopher
Smith, of Cincinnati, now languishes
in a dungeon. Christopher wooed
and won the daughter of an opulent
merchant, but alas for the bright
hopes of youth! she was only six
teen, and the law did not permit
EVangeline Maria to marry until
she was of age. What could the
young man do? He could not lie;to
beg he was ashamed; but love, which
laughs at locksmiths, came to his
aid; so he told his Dulcina to put
the figures eighteen in each Of her
shoes, and stand thereupon. Happy
thought! She was "oYer 49," But
the jury thought it was obtaining
goods under false pretences.
