A Novel reason for DIvorce.


II ever there WAS round man thrust by hard
fortune into square hole, that unfortunate in
dividual ID James Poole, Of Portsmouth, hus-
band of Sarah Poole, who now seeks to divorce
and reject him upon the house-wifely ground of
complaint that he will insist on mixing tho
bread, having hand in the cooking OF dinner,
hanging around the kitchen at all busy seasons
and in short demeaning himself as becomes what
is contumeliously called ''cot-betty" Where
upon Sarah renounces him and his works. and
Graves from the Court of Portsmouth decree
Of divorce which shall enable her to cook her
own dinner without molestation from James
intermeddhng.
The case is hard. We're there no strong.
minded women, dsliking tho dull routine OF
household work in Portsmouth, or in Yankee
dom at large, to whom this Jealous James woult
have been a treasure of great price Could ht
not even if need be- have transported himself tt
our neighboriug Vineland, where the trail OF th,
bi-furcated garment seeks to obliterate the dus
ty line of demarcation between the spheres o
the sexes-rather than to have thrown away hi
rare merits on that ungrateful Sarah who nov
seeks to dissolve the matrimonial co-partner
ship? II there be Justice in Portsmouth, le
the decree Of divorce be granted, and now tha
the true qualities Of this Phoenix OF man hay
been made known to the world, he will surel
have difficulty in providing himself with NOR
appreciative partner.

An Innocent Abroad.

When Mark Twain was in Europe he became
infected with the mania for rococo, bric-a-brac,
antique carving and all that sort Of thing. An
old carved mantelpiece particularly struck his
fancy, and he paid five hundred dollars for it on
the spot and had it shipped with extreme care
to Hartford, Conn, where his new and elegant
residence has been for some time in process oi
erection. In putting it up piece was chipped
of, which the best cabinetmaker in the town wal
sent to replace He executed the work with
great nicely; but the new, to Marks revived
American taste, looked 30 much better than tn,
DID, that he had all the rest Of the surface scrap
ed of, and good, honest, Yankee mantelpiect
made OF it, the only curiosity about which is thu
cost-but, then, when innocents go abroad the.

Horse-CIippInH.

DISCOVERY FOR WHICH WE ARE INDEBTED TO THE
PRINoIPALrTY OF WALES.
Sands, the circus proprietor, WAS the first to
clip horses in this country, in 1874. There was
opposition to the practice at first but experience
proved that clipped horses escaped many mala-
dies to which the animal is subject, such for ex-
ample as the colds that are taken from the con-
gealing OF perspiration under a thick coat Of
hair. The clipped horse does not perspire so
freely as the animal whose hair is suffered to
grow he is therefore less likely to take cold af-
ter heating drive in freezing atmosphere.
Moreover, the clipped horses skin is more easily
kept clean This is the time Of clipping for the
winter, and at many establishments IN this city
the work if done with machines under the pres.
sure OF extensive patronage. A knife is made
70 reyolve over comb cutting off the hair even
" as 1t projects above the teeth. Thus rapidity
and eyenness Of clipping are secured, and there
Wilmington daily commercial., 1874-12-30

is no danger Of cutting the skin. A horse can
be clipped In this way with one machine in two
or three hours but several machines may be OPP
Grated at once on the same animal, thus greatly
expediting the operation. The price varies from
six dollars to eight dollars, and the operation Is
usually repeated later In the season. Horses
used in running races are not often clipped, be-
cause they are not used in winter and because
their fine coats are not benefited by the short
ening Of the hair.
The custom of clipping is believed to have ori-
ginated in Wales, where rough-coated ponies are
In use. Thence it spread to England and othei
countries. The extent TO which it is followed IL
this country was shown on the boulevards yes
terday, where unclpped horses were exceptions
among the hundreds that dashed over the SNOW

Fire AIarms by ELECTRICITY


BY the adoption OF the report of the Commit
tee on Fire Companies, printed in full in our
news columns, the City Council has committed
itself to a very important recommendation which
is therein contained. 1t is advised in the report
that in the event of the selection Of a more
available point for the location of the ire-watch
than on the top of the City Hall, the means
whereby he may give an instantaneous alarm
from the several engine houses upon the dis
covery of fire be provided. The plan recon-
mended is simple one, and is said to be both
effective and cheap 1t consists simply Of an
electrical appliance, with batteries and wires
not unlike the telegraphic facilities Of the pres
ent day. These wires, in the plan proposed,
are to be under the control of the fire-watch,
and by the working Of key board, or some sim
liar device, he will be enabled to sound an alarm
which will be heard in all parts of the city, it be-
ing rung of from all the fire bells at the same
time.
This plan will obviate one very great cause Of
complaint, viz the inability Of our citizens
generally to hear the fire alarms- Those who
reside beyond the business portion of the city
but seldom are aware OF the existence OF fire
until it is all over, unless they may chance
to see the illumination which
it produces. There have ever
been instances wherein the business places
Of men who are remote from the centre OF the
city have been burning while they are at hom'
all unconscious. of it. With q few more bells, o.
even the erection Of the large bell which the cit,
already possesses at some convenient point il
the northern part of the city, and their connec
ton with the fire. watch in the manner proposed
there is no reason why all our citizens shoul
not be apprised Of fires, and the owners or occu
pants Of burning buildings be brought to tn
scene to counsel and advise with the fremen i
the preservation of what property may be save
from the general destruction. There is gres
need for Improvement in this matter, and VIII
not.adopt some of the more improved methods
They will be found to be far more economics
in the end, and to furnish much greater satii
faction. The plan proposed may not be th
best one which could be adopted it is the be-
which has been suggested in the present cond
ton of the city finances, and should be careful
investigated and weighed by counsel.

The past twelve months at the waltham Watch
Factory have been the busiest in the COmpanys
history Several wholly new stem-winding watches
have been produced, and great improvements have
been effected in the manufacture OF all variety Of
their standard watches, until now they include
every size in both key and stem-winding, that can
be DESIRED of every quality and every price. At the
same time new inventions in machinery, and other
large economies have cheapened the cost. so that
at present 1t is not too much to claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches in
the world. These claims are, in fact, almost every
where admitted. In this country it is matter OF
fact that hardly any fine American watches,are sold
but those OF the watham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australia, and
the British Possessions generally and foreign
tries are aban oning the hand made productions OF
Switzerland and England, and eagerly a opt'ng
American machine made waltlam watches in their
place.
