THAT'S WHERE SHE MADE A

witnessed on a Rensselear and

newly married couple entered the
ear and took a seat. The bus,
band wanted to smoke, left his
wife and went into the smoking
car. The bride began to doze,
and while she slept a stranger err
tered the car, and as il was crowd

young wife. Shortly she began to
nod, and doubtless imagining
that her husband was still in the

stranger, and soon her head fond

A Warning to Old Men
Damages from an Aged Lover

In the Circuit Court of Prince
Edward, Judge Asa Dickinson
presiding, last week, was heard
a novel case to Virginia courts,
it being a suit for a breach of
promise. 1t seems from the ac-
counts in the local papers that
in December last Calvin Bliss,
wealthy old Northerner, aged
seventy-one, who, since the war
has settled at Prince Edward,
proposed marriage to ahandsome
widow, Mrs. Robinson, of Farm
vile, about thirty years old,
and promised to settle upon
her one-third of his real estate,
and in addition $1,000 in cash,
to be paid at his death, if she
would marry him. She consen-
ted, and the wardrobe OF each
party was prepared, Bliss fur
nishing the bridal robe hand
some silk. The guests were IL
vited; the supper prepared; but
when the appointed day and
hour had arrived, 4 o'clock p.
NJ, january %, 1875, old Bliss
did not come to time, deferred,
it is said, from keeping his
promise by the violent OpRpsi-
ton of his grown-up children.
Through her attorneys, Mrs.
Robinson brought an action for
breach of marriage contract,
and claimed $10,030 damages.
The trial occupied the court
twelve hours, and was witnessed
by a large number of specta-
tors from all parts Of the coun-
try. The widow and Bliss
were both closely examined, ,and
the jurors brought in a verdict
Of damages to the amount Of
$1,000.

Singing for the Master.
Sing on, sweet voice the Master hears
And owns his service given,
Though thrOned amid seraphic choirs
That thronged the courts of Heaven.
Sing on, sing On what blessed work,
What joyful task is thine,
When voice and chord and praiseful heart
Are tuned by love divine!
Sing on, sweet voice while angel bands
On shining wings draw near:
Unheard, unseen, they hover round
The human song to hear.
Sing on Earth's weary ones rejoice,
Thy gladstone hymns to raise
And ransomed spirits touch their harps
In unison of praise.
Sing on, sweet voice, ill storm and calm,
In grief and gladness, sing
Lure wanderers to the Saviour's cross,
And rebels to their King.
Sing on ! the joyful hour will come,
When from hopes latest psalm
Thy tones shall pass into the song
OF 'MOses and the Lamb"

A Professional Borrower

= - - - =
Had Mrs. Carey been a ma
she would have occupied a lead
ing. diplomatic position, but -
ing a woman, her special GU
fications found other vent.
Her emissaries were two sons
of tender age, but She did not
scorn to do her share of execu-
ton, or even, on rare occasions,
to impress her husband into the
service.
1t came to be a doubt insthe
neighborhood ifthe Careysever
set down to meal of which some
portion was not freshly borrow
| ed.
Before other people had fair
ly got out Of bed, the emissa-
ries were on their secret mis-
sions, and until the candies
were extinguished at night they
were at work.
A tap at the door just as the
family were about to draw up to
the table, would invariably
draw from the housekeeper the
remark:
'There's one of them Carey
boys to borrow something; come
I'M"
1t was either for cup of su-
gar, or a bowl Of flour, or a
grain of saleratus, or a dish Of
mOlasses, or little sugar, or u
a mOrsel of butter.
1t appears that Carey was
go ne down street presently,
and would get a quantity of the
desired article, when the loan
would be returned; orhehad Just
got home and forgotten to bring
it, which he had been specially
directed to do in the morning,
and she would send one of the
boys downtown after it in an
hour or two.
1t was always observed Of
Mrs. Carey that the article
which she was out of was
something she was Just on the
eve Of sending for to the store.
When Mrs. Carey expected
company Tor, we may say had
cOmpany-as she never appear
ed to anticipate anything) it was
a busy occasion for the emissa-
ries.
There was a cup Of sugar
from the Schuylers for a "crow's
nest" little salaratus from tic
Millers for biscuit; a hunk OF
cheese from the Wildmans; a
pitcher Of milk from the Finch
es, aud a cup of white sugar
for the tea from the Smiths.
The older Mrs. Carey grew in
years the more embarrassed She
became by adverse circumstaa-
ces.
Advancing years made Ca
rey's memory more uncertain,
and brought additional duties
to the emissaries to prevent
them going to the store as often
as she desired.
1t got so that no housekccper,
however careless, would sit
down to a meal without first
casting a precautionary glance
out Of the window for Carey.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Carey &c
turned the loans.
We say unfortunately, because
otherwise she could have been
for receiving goods
under false pretences, and shut
up in consequence; or the COM
munity could have arisen in Il
body against her, and by the i'll
exOrable law Of society crushed
her out Of existence.
Asi it was, they grinned-thcy
bore it.

How it is Done in MiSSis-
Sippj.

Z L
An attache of the Register was
ip Mississippi last week, and at
tended the session of the Circuit
Court at Water Valley. Itseems
that in the town there are two
lawyers who are engaged in most
every case in that court, and are
always on opposite sides. During
one day of the term, the jury,
which was composed mostly of
colored men, decided a case in fa-
vor of the side represented by B.,
ESQ, and the next case being rep
resented by the same attorneys,
they decided in favor Of c., Esq.
The verdict in the latter case was
so much at variance with the facts
of the case, that an ignorant
white man who had not, up to
that time been admitted to a full
knowledge OF the blessings of ne
gro rule and the wisdom attend
ing their conduct of public affairs,
asked one of the jury why it was
rendered in the latter case. The
juror. With a knowing wink,
which plainly said I've are sharp, "
said: "You see. sar, dat we 'ci-
ded to glib the mex one fur him.

That $1,000 package which

York, of Kansas, and with which
he effectually killed that Chris

the rotten Tould-be Senator,
and the latter said he gave it to
York for one Page to help start
a National Bank; but Page,
after commencing suit for it,
has abandoned the idea Of es-
tablishing his claim to it, and so
the package goes a-begging,
and the State Treasurer is anx-
ious to know what to do with
it." If the State Treasurer is

VICTORY FOR TEzE People,.

i decision was rendered Tuesday In
the suits Of the State Of Wisconsin
against the Chicago & Milwaukee & st.
Paul and the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad companies, wherein the Su-
preme Court had been applied to for
an injunction to compel these roads to
comply with the Potter law. The con-
clusion is that the injunction be granted,
except IS to that parto the lines of the
st. Paul company known as the Prairie
du CHEN Division. The roads ere given
until the Is. Of October to make the
necessary arrangements for complying
with the law. The objections made by
the counsel for the railroads, both
against the jurisdiction of the court, the
competency of the proceeding and the
eorstitutionality of tie act, are overrul-
ed. The decision of the court is an
event that calls for profound and gener-
al congratuiaaion.

IT is evident from the following,
which we clip from the Appleton Times
that its editor does not expect to be cal
led upon to support Matt Carpenter for
reelection to congress this fall:
THE defeat OF Judge POLAND, in the
Second Congressional District of Yer
mons, is an event extremely creditable
to his constituents and 30 the party.
His successful competitor, D. c. DEM
son, is Republican, and his triumph
resulted from the action of POLAND in
procuring the passage of the press gag
law, together with his salary grabbing
and Credit Mobilier whitewashing per-
formances. Vermont voters are true rs
steel to their Representatives, while the
latter remain true to themselves and to
their constituents. It is, therefore, a
rebuke of an unusually whitening char
acter to secure nomination and be
beaten before the people.

B.RBARoUs. terrible story of state
prison barbarity comes from Sing Sing
in telegram to the Chicago Tribune
A negro named Frank Langdon was
taken from the quarry as waiter III an
officials house, recently. Suddenly two
diamond rings, claimed to be worth $500
were missed. Suspicion fell upon the
unfortunate Langdon, and after an ex-
animation in which the prisoner protest
ed his innocence, he was given in charge
TO the keeper. Langdon was locked up
in dark cell, containing no bed or chairs
and was kept there for 80 days on bread
and water. Once day he was visited
and promised freedom if he would avow
his guilt, but he persisted in re-iterating
his innocence. On several occasions he
was taken out of the cell and treated to
the thumb-screws- regular relic Of the
dark ages. which consists of hauling
up by the thumb until his toes just
touch the floor, keeping him in this po-
sition until the agony becomes so intense
that death ensues, if it is not discuntin-
ued Still in spite of all this torture
and suffering, the poor wretch, who was
worn to a shadow of his former self,
would not confess any guilt. After five
different Misunderstanding and 80 days
solitary confinement in the dark cell, he
was put in the shower bath. Not
withstanding all these cruelties, he made
no confession. Subsequent events prov
ed him innocent.

Some one at Washington has discover
ed an old law passed in 1890 which reads
as follows.
Al officers attached to the seat of Gov
eminent shall be exercised in the Dis.
trict OF Columbia and not elsewhere, ex-
cept as otherwise provided by law.
The President has been In Washington
but twice or three times since the ad-
tournament Of Congress, and yet the
routine business of his office has gone as
though he was at the White House all
the time. A very Insignificant part of
the official business pertaining TO the of
fee of President has been transacted at
the seat OF Government. while 10 part of
1t has been authorized by Law to be done
elsewere. 1t is held that none of these
official acts are legal; that they are ali
void at law IF this construction of the
law should be put in the test aud be SUI
stained, it will involve His Excellency 10
very embarrassing extent.
