cure husbands for those not married. Two

NY ailusion two weeks ago to Hattie
Blacl:o1d and her proposed return from

formation from the came source. It ap-
pears that the xedoubtablo Hattie has been
laying seige to tho purses Of spndsy Americana
in Paris lataly, and was lately detected in carry
ing on an intrigue with the husbnnd OF O woman
who was absent in Italy for her bca1th. Tho
wife returned suddenly to Paris and discovered
The iaiaon. and threatened publicity unless her
husband returned with her to America at once.
They came here rbout d fortnight ago, and it
appears that Hattie. being advised Of tho move
ment Of the parties, actually secured passage on
the same steamer, in the hope that the husband
would pay handsomely to prevent scandal. He
did par, but the amount is unknown. Now she
is still threatening him. r. the mean-
alluded to in my former letter

stating that Louis ]. Jennings, tho accomplished
managing editor Of the Daily Times, was about
to permanently sever his connection w1.h that
journal. aad return to Europe. The San tn

gentleman. The evening papers took the cue.
and the Brooklyn Eagle. especially, published
editorials to tue same elfect-the latter glorify
ing Mr.. Jennings in true spteaa-eagle style.
Yesterday morning The Sun rctracted the tltss
part Of the statement, and said Mr.. Jennings ia
not to leave New lorE At all, and will remain in
charge OF the Times. Tha episode provides
convenient opportunity for various persons to
praise Alr. Jennings, ana it ia truth to Say the

that Journal is one OF the feasuras OF Journalism
in New York and the way in which it goes for
it's enemies makes it proverb that the Times is
always sure when it assaifs anybody.
