EFFECTS OF BAD COMPANY.

A few days ago a southerner, who is not be-
You'd the shady side of thirty-hVe, was one Of
the band of prisoners in the dock of an up
town police court, and, on complaint Of ayoung
woman of no considerable grace, was committed
to Blackwe1l's Island for time. The accused,
but few years ago, was one Of the brightest
intellectual gsniuses in the sonth, q rising
politician of note in one of the Carolinas, and
served as an officer in the army Of the Confed-
eracy. The war ended as disastrously for him
as FOR others, aud he sought to better his for
tunes in the North; and since the war, por-
ton of bis time, held the position Of drummer
for one of our largest mercantile houses. But
three years ago, however, he became infatuated
with q woman Of the world, and the twain BE-
gan to lead rather suspicious and not alto
gether strictly honorable life. She soon di-
vested him Of money, reputation, position and
friends, and then deserted her lord to his fate.
Needless to add the couple quarreled, and in
default of bail to keep the peace the Southerner
was sent to prison. Here he suffered the dis
grace Of confinement until yesterday, when
some kind persons, who had befriended him In
other days, sought and procured his release

MONDAYS BUSINESS AT THE BAR OF
JUSTICE.
Alexander Williams and Joseph Jones, the
alleged Iucendiaries, who were arrested BY Lieu
tenant Noonan and Oficers Layton and Hefner
under suspicious circumstances, were brought be-
fore the Police Court yesterday, and several
charges were preferred against them. They were
first arraigned on the charge Of having entered
the residence Of Michael White with the intent to
commit felony. To this they plead not guilty
through their attorney. F. P. Gloss. Mr.. Whites
testimony was TO the effect that on Friday night
last his house. situated the Seyenth-street road,
was broken open and robbed Of large quantity Of
clothing. He recognized quite number Of arti-
cles found in the possession Of Williams. Lieu
tenant Noonan testified that the clothing recog-
mixed by mr.. White was the same that was found
ct Jones' house. On Contamination the lieu
tenant stated that Jones had admitted that VIII
llams had q room in the house. Fer the defence
II was claimed that Jones was hurt on Thursday
and unable to be about during Friday; and also
that Williams occupied the room in which the
goods were found. Judge Dawson suggested that
the Police Court was not the proper place in which
to try the cases, and he would have TO held them
for trial in the Criminal Court.
They were arraigned on q similar offence At the
house Of Matthew Myers, when his stable was
burning. The District attorney stated that he
had another charge against the party for taking
two sets Of harness and blankets from the dwell.
ing house Of Theodore Platt, esq, corner Of
Sixth and q streets, on the 18th Of September
last, and also for breaking into the house Of
Cooper Herbert, but he would not prosecute them

A COURF WHTcH ByBW BERsEIP

4 COURT WHICH KNEW HERSELF.
A fuzzy affair In court of law lately came
of Of Chicago. One Amelia Donnerschloz
brought suit against Augustus Behrens, who
had promised to marry her, but failed to keep
his word. The lady demanded only two hun
dred dollars IN damsges-not an exorbitant
price for her disappointment in being obliged to
retain so cumbrous 3 name as -Donnerschlog.
The suit came to trial before Mr.. Justice Ban
yon, and Mr.. Behrens not denying the princi-
pal facts alleged against him, excused himself
by saying that Amelia insisted as a condition
Of the marriage that her mother should keep
house for the young couple, and this Augustus
could not consent to. 81 told ner," said he,
s'that loved her deeply, and was ready to
marry her, but did not wish to marry her
mother also, who was woman of lordly and
unpleasant habits, and insisted on feeding me
too much on cabbage, vegetable always dis

After this frank avowal of his purpose and
his un-Teutonic dIstaste for the national Yege-
table, Mr.. Justice Banyon said: (Which would
you rather do, marry the lady and take her
