Court CNLlin0S,

Mr.. John Dee, of ITO W. Fifth street,
yesterday made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors.
Mary Britt was yesterday granted a
divorce on the grounds that her husband
is undergoing impri sonment in the Peni-
tentiary for term of years.
Sarah Hazlett, the widow of John Haz-
lett, has brought suit to set aside her
husbands will on the ground that he
duly influenced by his relations. The will
disposes of some $4,000.
Undertaken Wiltsee has brought suit
against the estate of Henry Harrison,
deceased, to recover the expenses O. the
burial of the widow, who died some time
after her husband. The Judge yester-
day decided that the estate was only Ii
able for the debts Of the husband and not
for those contracted by the relatives OF
the wife after her death.
The divorce suit of Charles II. Keith,
son of the well known oyster dealer 0f
this city, is being tried before Judge
Murdock. The charge is that Of adultery
on the part of the wife, Edith Blanche,
mony of Importance offered is, that she
was seen in darkened room one day
last summer, dressed in night gown, in
company with Lorain La rteauX, and
when discovered she was making frantic
efforts to button up the night gown,
which seemed to be open in front.
Also, that she was seen to throw her
arms around La Bordeaux and kiss him
ut a picnic at Orange Grove. One wit
ness had heard of her sending notes to
La Bordeaux, and another had seen her
walking with Charles Sebastian, and
had also seen Sebastian at the house,
and once in her room when she was sic :.
1t was claimed by the defense that the
night-gown was a wrapper, the Orange
Grove story a lie, the friendship between
the parties harmless one and the whole
business a vicious compound of spite
work and mother-in-lawism. Mrs. Keith
was prominent crusader last spring,
and member of the First Baptist
Church, of which her husband is Sexton.

Imitation Cashmere Mauufa ctures.

1t is an acknowledged TACT, at the pres
ent day, that, Notwithstanding the we'll
nigh perfection of skill and mechanism
now applied to the production of every
class and variety of textile fabrics, no
art has yet proved equal to that by which
the shawls Of Cashmere are made to pos
sess such singular purity, beauty and
value. The French approximate near
est, perhaps, of any people, in insuring
these qualities to the imitation products
which they call by the same name, the
Cashmere wool being imported direct
from Thibet, and wrought into shawls
in the factories of Paris, Lyons, Nismes,
&c. The Paris shawls are of the kind
known as French Cashmere, in which,
by the aid of the draw-loom and of the
jacquard, surface is given, which, SO
far as appearance goes, is precisely SIM
liar to that. OF the oriental article; both
the warp and the wett are the yarn Of
pure Cashmere down, the figures and col
copied, and the deception would be COM
plete did not the reverse side show the
cut ends.
But, as already remarked, the genuine
oriental shawl is yet without a rival i'll
it's absolute beauty and perfection, and no
attempts are made or needed in the way
of improvements. The wool, the choicest
raised in Thibet and Tartary, is first
bleached to rid it of its grayish hue which
naturally belongs to it, then spun into
yarn, and dyed Of various colors. The
manufacture of remarkably fine and
elaborate shawl will sometimes occupy
a shop Tor whole year, two or three,
perhaps four persons being constantly
engaged on it. In some of the richest
specimens, scarcely quarter of an inch
is completed BY three persons in one day.
Sometimes, in order TO hasten the pro-
cess, a shawl is made in separate pieces
at different looms, and the pieces are al
terwards seSed together, this latter be-
ing done with such deXterity that il is
not Immediately detected. The shawls
are eXquisitely soft and warm, surpass-
ing in these respects every other cloth
ing material.

THE custom of rushing journalists be-
fore investigating committees to give
particulars of matters on which they
comment has never been very successful,
and is not in accordance with the re-
quirements of justice. The newspaper

the evidence er parte and frames the in
aictment, after which comes the inyesti-
eating committee to try the case. 1t is

who do know, he meets the requirements

operative societies live much more cheap
ly than the same number of families in
isolation. A penitentiary as a great CO.
operative establishment. 1t has only
one kitchen instead of thousand, and
economy attends the operations in an
hundred ways. A thousand men at Au-
burn, Clinton or Sing Sing should earn
at least as much as the same number OF
common laborers earn in freedom.
1t is true that many of them have to
learn trades at the prisons. This is the
only drawback upon our calculation;
but that is more than Offset by the supe-
rior direction of labor that should obtain
in the penitentiary as compared with the
weaker management In isolation. The
convicts are better able to work than the
average of honest men. They are a
hardy class, and having no families to
support they ought to make money either
for the State or themselves.
According to the Missouri Auditors
report for 1872, it costs an average of
$427.42 to convict and deliver each con-
vict to the penitentiary. 1t is fully as
much in Ohio, and probably $500 in New
York. Ohio makes about an even thing
of it, while New York has paid $1,000, 900
to get her 5000 convicts within the walls,
and it costs $4,000 year to keep them
there. Ohio is ahead In almost every
thing, and certainly is so in her peni-
tentiary management.

The cubs, who lie moaning and whinny-
ing by the side Of their dams, are knock

hunters tell us-and we can well believe
it--that it takes man some time to get
used to such cruel butchery, and the half
human wailing Of the little calves, as
they flop and roll about the mangled car
cass OF their mother, is something that,
until he be hardened to the work, will
make his slaep uneasy at night. To put
the thing in another shape, we may say
that the trim seal-skin Jacket, of which
its fair owner is SO proud, which be-
comes her 30 well, and which keeps out
the cold, represents some hali-dozen
dams who have more or less been skin
ned alive, while their little ones have

MANAGEMENT

The State OF New York furnishes bed,
board, clothing and religious instruction
10 the three thousand convicts in her
three penitentiaries-Cl Auburn
snd Sing Sing-at a cost of an average
Of $b75, 200 year over and above their
earnings. Ohio does the same for one
thousand convicts, and makes a clear
average profit of $4,000 a year. There
js something in this that New York
sught to study. There is no doubt that
Ohio does as much as New York for her
State pupils, and that they are fully as
ornamental to society after leaving the
prison as those of the Empire State.
The discipline of our penitentiary is
fHlly as good as that of the New York
institution, and. our convicts are no
lore severely worked. None of them
work as hard or fare SO poorly as halt
the honest common laborers of the State.
There is no wisdom at the head of such
Institutions when they do not support
themselves. It is perfectly absurd to
permit 5000 strong, hardy men to cost
the State nearly 500 each besides the
worth of what work they dol There are
0o,o00 honest families (1,0o0, 900 Of per.
eens) in that State, who do not get as
Dsch each per year to live on as every

otats, including what they earn! Go.

The Cost Of Q FaYOrite Fur.

Sealskin is very fashionable fur this
winter, taking precedence over every
other skin for ladies' wear, and for that
matter, for gentlemen's articles, coats,
caps, mufflers, gloves, etc. There may
be among our readers some who are ig-
norant Of the manner in which the soft
and rich skin is obtained: The time
chosen is, unfortunately, the very period
that of others, ought to be kept close.
Except for very short time of the year
the seal lives, to all intents ana pur.
poses, on the open sea. But the female,
when about to bring forth, seeks the
shelter of the shore, where she suckles
and watches her cubs until they are old
enough to shit for Themselves. At this
time, wherever there are seals along the
coast, large herds Of them will be found
from quarter to halt mile inland, The
proportions are verv much like those OF
drove of deer. The main body will con-
sist often of several hundred females,
each with one or two helpless little ones,
while the males hang about the outskirts
of the flock, and relieve the monotony OF
their existence on shore by sanguinary
pitched battles with one another. AS
soon as a herd of this kind is spied, the
boats are manned, and the whole vessels
crew armed with bludgeons and axes,
starts upon "cutting-out expedition" )"
at the horrors Of which humanity may
well shudder.
The only way to. effectually kill seal
with completeness and dispatch is by a
heavy blow with a bludgeon, or a deep
cut with an AK, so as either to crush or
sever the nasal bones; and when the
boats crews have got ashore an indis.
criminate slaughter is commenced, the
whole herd being often butchered before
a single one can reach the waters edge.

the real work commences. The adult

THE NEW CALIFORNIA SENATOR
THE COMING MAN.


The present United States Senate COM
prises 81 Republicans, 10 Democrats and
and Liberals. In the 44th Congress,
which dates from the 4th Of March, there
will be "A Republicans, % Democrats
and 2 Independents. The Independents
are Hamilton, of Texas, and Newton
Booth, of California. Mr.. Booth will
pass from the gubernatorial chair to the
U. S. Senate. About two years ago he
delivered a speech in San Francisco
against monopoly and the tendency of
wealth going into few hands, (which Great
cd great sensation. We noticed it at the
time, and suggested Governor Booth as
the coming man around whom the work
ing classes could safely rally.
After an eloquent statement of the
rapidly rising power. of capital, combi-
nation and monopoly, he startled the
country with the exclamation, GRE
FORM NOW OR REVOLUTION HERE
AFTERV The effect of the speech in
San Francisco was SO profound that a
very able lawyer, Mr.. Fenton, was called
upon by the Republicans to reply to it..
An immense audience assembled, and
Mr.. Fenton made one of the ablest
speeches in reply that ever was deliy-
cred in this or any other country.
Gov. Booth was Republican, and his
bold push for new departure in politics
produced a shock in the party. A very
number of both Democrats
and Republicans followed him, and they
have been called to this day by the
regular Republicans the "Dolly Warden
party" Gov. Booth was enabled to COM
mand Republican support enough TO Sc
cure an election to the Senate with the
aid of the Democrats.
This is how he is classed as an "inde-
pendent" Senator-a proud position for
a Senator to hold. He will be clear Of
all party trammels. No dynasty will have
the right to apply the lash to him because
he is under no obligation to any party.
He will be perfectly free to pursue his
own course; and, being man of talent,
he will be likely to place himself at the
head of all the anti-monopoly forces Of
the country.
He has but to compass all the gigantic
monopolies in order to consistent
scheme of reform; and all classes OF anti
monopolists will unite upon him. No
public man Of tried staUesmanship stands
so fair chance to be the standard-bearer
of powerful third party In 1876 as Gov.
Booth. He has not yet resigned his
Office.
