False Man.

Some months since a f~ancy.looking
barber named Henry Conrad became
desperately smitten with the solid at
fractions of Miss Fannie Freeman, a
member of the haltworld, and whose
mansion on Market Square is not un-
known. The darts Of Cupid likewise
struck deep in the heart Of the fair one.
which combination OF causes had the
effect Of lighting the torch of Hymen
and the twain became one by virtue of
a license and a marriage ceremony.
The course of true love ran smoothly
enough and marital happiness gladdened
the hearth and hearts of both votaries
at the rosy shrine of Venus, but the
Adonis grew weary Of so much bliss,
and decamped a few days since.
Miss Freeman, now Mrs. Conrad. is a
woman Of wealth, aHd could always con-
troll a few thousand dollars whenever ne
cessary. The false hearted tonsorial ar
list induced his better.half to convert
some Of her personal property into filthy
lucre' This amount, probably a thou
sand dollars, Conrad pocketed and an
nonnced that he intended going on a lit.
tie hunting expedition into the adjacent
wilds OF Arkansas where the squirrel
barketh, the birds singeth, and the mos.
quito and buffalo gnat biteth. Fearing
that his pocket money might give out
ere he returned on the Hopefeld ferry.
boat, Henry ransacked the trunks and
bureaus of his beloved and distracted
therefrom several additional thousands
of dollars. BE now felt secure in being
able to pay his fare to Hope6eld and
back, but changing his mind and
course he started Westward to grow up
with the country and fellow the setting
sun to the golden lands of California
and to gaze upon the heaving pillows
of the Pacific ocean. He had his carpet
bag checked, and armed with a ticket
containing a yard or more of coupons,
he rolled out, intending to travel like
Brown of 0regon's beloved, who
"-lunched and launched,
And had her ticket punched and punched.
Until she came to Oregon"
The false hearted barber departed and
disappeared, and Mrs. Conrad applied to
the police authorities for some legal pa
pers to create q stoppage in transitu 'ot
her beloved, but certain laws with refer
ence to the rights of married persons
seem to have prevented the authorities
from taking any action. The personal
property Of the wife, when reduced to
possession, becomes the property Of the
husband, and there is no law to prevent
the husband from or punish him for
stealing from his wife. Conrad has been
heard from making railroad speed to the
West, in search Of that EIdorado Of for
tune seekers, as well as Of fortune steal
ing adventurers.

versant with English literature, ard no
man in America is better posted on the

his speeches are always elegant speci-

address over the graves of the Confeder-

attention.
1t is rumorsd that if the five police and

tain fat little Offices that the inenmbsnts
will apply for writs Of Injunction. The

forced to do SO, but the new city charter
will be enforced and the five commissions
ers will do their duty no matter whose
head falls into the basket. The i%njunc-

or public criticism, but we await the de.
velopment Of the little game.

Friday last abating as ~nuisances FIVE
establishments, including the famous
Arkansas House, on Washington street,
between Main and Second. The facts
showed that in the immediate neighbour
hood the reputable and disreputable
were about equally divided, and the
judge ruled that the disreputable had to
be abated and the reputable protected,
but the disreputable have appealed from
the ruling and the case will go to the
Supreme Court, and there hang for
months ere the soiled doves are driven
from their palaces of sin.

sents itself to everybody in this vicinity, and
is made the subject Of general inquiry. A
family benefited by the Bitters communicates
the fact TO the neighbors, who in turn become
patrons Of the great remedy, and proclaim It's
efficacy. This explains why it has become
the most popular OF American household
medicines, and why Its popularity is cOntinu-
