WHAT WILL he DO ABOUT 1Ta

One OF tho interesting cases growing out OF
Goodricl's FAST divorce line came to Light yestcr-
aay in singular way. It seems that sometime
In the spring Of 1870, Elizabeth Smith, becoming
convinced tbat her husband, John Smith, would
either be obliged to give up supporting the
amount Of whisky that he empticd into himself
s7ery day, Or else give up supporting him, con-
GUIDED that the quickest way out of her difficult
lies WAS to secure ono Of the patent dlvorces
procured without publicity, and warranted to
keep in my climate. She accordingly applied to
Goodrich for tho same. and lie undertook 1t, and
IS the sequel shows, put it through quicker than
John Smith could repeat his own name. But at
This time things had assumed another phase in
AaefamilT. John, becoming alarmed anu repent
Int at the action Of his spouse, protested to
her that he would hereafter shun the
bowl aud conduct himself in q becoming and
aecorous manner. At this promise the heart OF
Ao wife relented, aud she consented to give him
fnother trial. Accordingly Goodrich was sought,
iad $40 bill having been added to his nccumu-
hslons by Mrs. S., he agreed to stop the suit,
IND the family peace was restored. Nothing
more would ever have been thought Of the mat
ke1 probably, by either party, since happiness
ass 1eigned III their bosoms i'll the three or four
5asss ~sich have sped away Hince then, had IT
u soma real estate. 1lr. Smith found
customer, and the agreement as
% prico and terms was entered INTO last week.
= y, only remained now to procure an abstract OF
nstle, which WAS yesterday morning secured from
tEessrs. Handy. Simmons g. Co. Upon examina-
Won, the following strange record WIS found
aereon: tin tue Recorders Court. Elizabeth

a SCENE IN THE INTER-oCEAN.

There was furry at the Inter Ocean Office
yesterday afternoon, scaused by the unexpected
and unNelcome arrival in the midst OF the
Editorial staff OF Constable NcEllgott. -Four
reporters, tLree writing-editots, tae staff OF
proof-readers, the typos, all rushed with one ac-
cord to the cashier, anticipating that the long
threatened financial ruin had como at last, and
deciding that to get ahead on the salary due

stances. Mr.. 6camnon WAS seen IN the bu1ldlng
Immediately before the arrival Of the unweicome
guest, but, lnasmuch as mhgens sea1ch oI Tue

Inter-Oceanic aud Alarinc Buildings did not dis
cover his presence, It WIS shrcWdly suEnlsed
that ho had bctaken himself to quleter shades
for the time being. But it WAS not Air. Scam

for whom the Constable had an interesting legal
document in his capacious bide-pocket Was ALI.
Charles Ham, the political editor OF the wide
spread sheet. The Constable secured his man,
rho resisted but faintly when he saW that the
building Was surrounded by officers, and
felt the chill muzzle of McElligotts seren-
lhooter under his ear. There WIS some talk
Among tho boys round the cashiers desk OF
of6ciate as leader The result was, that the un-
fortunate editor was led through Lake street to
Clark, down Clark street to Justice Hanes'
ofice, which he entered. During his disaSEee~
able walk the unfortunate editor had, rs they
say drowning men do, cast his mental ere over
Every act Of his Ife in order to try and discover
for which Of his crimes he had been arrested.
Being man Of extremely inofensire nature he
w:s not ablo to coniure up any net he had COM
mittod which would lay him open to the igno-
c1iny OF arrest and removal to tie bar of

The Inter Ocean, paper which had Iecently, in

Of citizen By publishing libel of"a most pain
ful nature upou his deceased brother. It was IN
vain that the unfortunate MN pleaded that he
had not written the article. Frank LaWler, who
had procured the warrant, WIS ine1orahlc. The
Imer-Ocean had DETAINED the dead and refused
to apologize, and it must be made to answer.

LII. Lawler to abandon the case, but
their perBuaBions were in vain. He com
niserated MIR. Ham in his unfortunate posi-

bailed out, but the insult to the dead had to be
avenged. In the course OF an hour S5o0 bail

CHRISTIAN UNION LECTURES.
TO tie Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
61R: read With much interest the communI-
cation Of Mrs. Swisshel1n in Fridays TRIBUNE
calling attention to the admirable course of lee
tnrcs now given BY Prof. Haven in the a1etho-
dist Church Block, and deprecating the small a.
tendance as indicating q want Of culture and
lack OF appreciation on tho part OF the Chicago
public, and especially the ladies', for whose ben
eft they are given in the day time. do not
think myself that tue small attendance il due
30 much to a lack OF appreciation az to the fact
that the character and value of these lectures,
as we'll as many other things Of similar char-
acter, are not known to the public generally, and
60 faIl OF patronage and support.
10 bring them within the reach Of all they arc
furnished on rni-charitablo basis--at price
SO low as will not warrant the expense OF ex-
tenslyo advertisement and 80 the public at large,
for whose benefit they are intended, falls to get
any real knowledge of them.
Belonging to tho samo class with the course Of
lectures tboye referred are bis course OF lessons
to the class IN English Literature in the Christian
Union rooms, Tuesday evening Of each week,
and the course Of lessons in Astronomy by Elias
Colbert, each Wednesday evening. These are Of
great Interest to those who attend-both being
Prot. Haven's course takes up tho standard En-
glish writer's, aud treats OF their etyle
and subject matter in easy, familiar manner, call
ing out opinions aud views OF members OF Glass;
and making its sessions intensely Interesting.
Mr. Colbert is we'll known US IN enthusiastic stu
dent OF astronomy, and deyotes his time to the
class out Of puro love to the cause. His course
of instruction is easy and simple, free from dry
scientific technicatles. which do not attract any
but students. and it can not fail to awaken an in
terest in tho subject that will be permanent on
the part Of al who attend.
These classes are intended solely for the ben

THE RECORDERS OFFICE.

CHICAGO. Feb. 13, 1874.
To the Editor If Tic Chfcaao gs70une:
sin: Referring to the recent discharge Of
female clerks in the Recorders Office, permit me
to say that it appears TINT on tho 11th the
twcnty-four female employees of the Recorders 8
Office we're notified that their services would not
be further needed for the present.
Tho County Commissioners had provided for
this female department two comparers who are
on q salary; TWO others in that department arc
paid by the folio.
The reason alleged for the necessity of dis
pensing with their services is q lack Of funds.
economy demands cutting down Of expenses,
aud SO the female department is suspended. In
view Of this state OF facts, how is the end de-
sired, VIZ: cutting down Of expenses, attained?
By discharging twenty-five women copyists, who
arc paid only for the writing which they actually
do. st the rate Of cents per folio. Is the copy
ing which they have been in the habit Of doing
necessary? Has the Recorder, out Of sympathy.
been compelled to furnish them with iic-
titious deeds, or to permit them to duplicate
copies, SO Us to keep them busy and Increase the
fofios Have any been obliged to remain idle
for the want OF bons hde deed to copy, deed
that it is the duty of the Recorder to have
copied
This is the riddle which appears to me as yet
unso!ved. How are tho interests Of economy
promoted by the suspension Of employees whose
expense to the Office is Only for work actually
done; for work which must be done By some
one and paid for?
There is no lack Of work ut the Recorders
Office. ii any one thinks otherwise, let him
carry thero a decd to be recorded, nnd learn
whether or not that deed will be promised to be
ready for return under three or four weeks.
Tho receipts Of the Office during these dull times
are said to average - only 4125 per day. That
in itself Involves more copying to do in that
Office in one week than, by any possibility, the
men now employed there could accomplish IN q
month. This has reference only to the copying
OF deeds. which is admitted to be remunerative.
Wbnt is tle difficulty? EQU1REB.
