And dreams all rulers on his favor doat;
The Beggar on ita tossing tide does float,
And thinks he is dog, grndged bed and meat;

Anxious to see how some Of his countrymcn

EXTRAORDINARY CASH OF FEMALE FRENZY.
One Of the most remarkable cases of genuine
hystcria on record was brought to light day be-
fore yesterday III Brooklyn in a proceeding for
separate maintenance by Mrs. Frcdcrika New
man against Mr.. Myer Newman. The parties
are well known; the husband is wcll-to-do
merchant in this city. and the wife is large,
fine-appearing woman, noted for the richness
and extravaganza of her attire. She was in
court, dressed IN the tip of the fashion, and
swore bluntly that her husband abused and NAL
treated her shamefully. The husband then
gave his evidence (Which, it is but just to say,
was corroborated BIZ several physicians aud
neighbors). He testified that, on the 9th inst,
she met him in New York and began IN angry

She was excited and began to cry; aaid she
wanted to 60 to another house; rather than 20
home she would jump into tho river; told her
could not afford to rent another house; she then
began to make noise while On Grand street, l
on the ferry she ngain began to scream in u hys-
terical manner; on arriving in Brooklyn, and after
getting on board AGAR, she renewed the disturbance;
the passengers were frightened, and We were
obliged to leave it, VIC then took another car, when
she agnfn began screaming; took her to the Wall
House and tfied to gooths her BY giving her brandy
