Griswold street, and asked the attorney II

He replied that he could. and she ex-

Yes, i see. That is desertlon. and
rood grounds for divorce. he replied.
II don II want no divorce. sir. What !

"And he wontP'
"Well, he hasn't sent any yet"
"And what can | do ?" asked the law
"Put lawsuit on him and scare him
into it," she answered.
He gloomily replied that the court here
had no jurisdiction in such case, and
that he could do nothing.
"Why, If was a lawyer, could put a
suit on him in an hour-I know could !"
she protested.
He shook his head.
"Well. all right" she said. as she rose

Departed Hungarian Patriot.

Farencz (Francis) Deak, the Hungarian
statesman and patriot, who has Just died at the
age OF 10 was born In SoJt0r, county OF z ha, OF
a middle-class, well-to-do family. Early In child
hood he was left an orphan In charge Of a
brother, Antony. who was about twenty years
his senior. After having passed through the
usual course of school training, he began to
study law, and had not vet reached his twentieth
year when he was elected q member of the Diet,
then sitting at PresboutR. His natural ability
and his eloquence were SO great that he at once
became the leader Of the opposition re present.
ing, as he did thee, the National Liberal party.
Later on, whom the Radicals began to gain
ground, with Kossuth and Count Teleki AZ their
head, Deak persisted In the policy OF legitimate
parl .amentary opposition. He was thus pract-
caly Just as much opposed to Kossuth, Teleki,
and all the revolution ry party, rs Clvnur was to
Garibaldl and his followers. Ibis did not pre-
vent min, however, from undertaking the de-
fence Of kossuth ana Ieleki when they were
arrested.
HIS persistence In maintaining the grounds OF
parliamentary opposition made II possible for
hun to OBTAIN In $40 a reconciliation between
the crown and the people. One of the results
OF THIS event was nls app ointment 10 the Ministry
OF Justice In the Cabinet OF Batthyany. When
kossuth came into power, however, he gave up
his portfolio end refused to take part IN the
legislative conference organized rs Schmerling
Dunng the war between Hungary and Austria
he was one OF the members OF tue deputation
MindishgIHtZ. After a brutal arrest and nm
prisonment he etired % private life and would
have nothing further to do with politics until
the Government OF Francis JoseDh, defeated In
Italy ana with bankruptcy threatening the En-
pire, was compelled to promise the restoration
vi national liberties.
The city Of Pesth having again elected him In
1861 to the Diet, he became at once the leader uf
the Assembly. Steadily working for four years
on the same ground OF strictly legal parliament
tafy opposition, he was again reelected 10 the
now Diet. which was prorogued at the outbreak
OF the war with Germany. After the war Beust
accepted though not without prot racted strug-
eles, DeaK's demands for Hungary, and the
dualistic basis on which the Austro- II hungarian
Emptre stands was entirely the work Of DeaK.
OF late years he has been the ieadcr Of the
majority Of the Diet. and In complete harmony
with Andrassy's Cabinet.

Rich Mems Dishonesty.

Some people are foolish enough TO be-
heve, In the face OF all the evidence TO the
contrary, that rich men are more likely to
be honest than poor men. They argue that
poverty Is the great incentive to theft, and
that, therefore, the possession of money Is
= sure guarantee against it. Hence II is
that rich men are so often selected ns ex-
eoutors and trustees under wills, treasurers
for religious and charitable corporations,
presidents of savings banks, and similar
situations where they are to be charged
with large pecuniary interests. Indeed, a
mail knot Of enthusiasts in this city are
laboring to extend the principle to political
Affairs, and TO hand over the city govern
mcnt exclusively to wealthy property
owners, on the ground that they alone can
be trusted to collect and disburse the
enormous sums required for our municipal
business.
The facts, as we have said. are in direct
conflict with this delusion. Every day we
hear of frauds aud defalcatious, not by
poor men. hut by those already abundant
ly provided with this worlds goods. Most
of the participants in the great Credit
Mobilier swindle were men of large means
rich when they stole and divided among
themselves and their confederates the six
millions, which the city is now struggling
10 get back. RALsToN, who robbed the
Bank of California, and ruined II, had a
prncely income Of his own, and spent 1t
like prince. NTcoLI, the shining light of
the Bar Association, was well of and en-
joying lucrative practice when he began
appropriating to his own use the funds
In his hands belonging 10 widows and
orphans. And so we might string out long
catalogue of rich robbers of public and
private treasures, whose crimes have come
TO light within n recent period. SO far from
wealth proving a bulwark against tempta-
ton, it is a door for II to enter by, because
II furnishes opportunities which are denied
TO poverty.
This, in fact, is the explanation OF the
matter. The incentives to crime lie dor
mant in every mans heart, and when un-
checked by religious and moral principle,
are always ready to push him OH to its ne
tual commission. Not only his neighboTs,
bat the man himself, may be ignorant of
his depravity, and this whether he be poor
or rich, until events occur favorable to its
development, and he allows II to break out
and Owe rcome his better nature. The occa-
sion of the disaster Is not the cause Of 1t.
That lies deeper than superficial circum-
stances, and has H. little connection with
poverty as with riches. To decide whether
u man Is honest or dishonest in character,
II is needful not TO count the number OF
dollars he is tn, but to look into his
heart INF rtunately this cannot be done
by any human eye, and hence it is that we
are so often deceived III our estimates OF
our fellow men. Some of us judge Ivy one
rule and some by another all making mis-
takes now and then, but none so often as
those who, rs we have said, rely on the
magnitude of bank ace punt ms an indica-
ton of sterling integrity.

1t seems that the Messis. HAvEMEYER
have made "A bargain with Mr.. PoPPES-
HUsEN TO sell him 81, 900 shares which they
own or control in the Long Island Rail-
road Company, at the rate OF s37. 80 per
share. The par value of these shares is
$50 each, and 10000 OF them represent the
whole stock of the company.
Desiring 10 prevent this sale, Mr.. Will
LIAM +. BUCKLEY has applied to the courts
to enjoin the Messrs. HAvEMEYER from
taking Mr.. PoP PENHUsEN S money and de-
liverng the stock. Mr.. BUCKLEY Is the
owner of $50 shares, aud he asks for an in
junction against the Messrs. HAvEMEYER
on the ground that the sale by them would
tend TO diminish the value of his property.
Ii is difficult TO understand how any
Mr.. BUCKLEY wants. If Mr.. HENRY HAVE
MEYER owns his stock he has the right TO
sell il without consulting any other per-
son; and when Mr.. BUCKLEY bought his
2J0 shares he did not buy with them any
right TO govern the larger stockholders by
means of his small interest.
If Mr.. BUCKLEY had asked for an injunc-
ton on the ground that the Messrs. HAVE
MEYER are selling their stock for less than
IL is really worth, there might have been
some sense in his application. The Long
Island Railroad ought to be one of the best
and most profitable railroads in the
country

fundamental and fixed principles, which
are applicable 10 the life and conduct OF
every human being. What a vast and con-
trolling power, then, this great body or
clergy ought 10 have over the life, habits,
and action OF the community. We may
say, at all events, that at least the multi
tudes who steadily flock to the churches
must be led TO order their daily ways ac-
cordlng TO the scriptural righteousness in
oulcated by the clergy.
But do they7 We wish we could answer
this question with an unqualified affirma-
tive.
II has seemed 70 THE SUN. then, that at
least some OF the clergy here do not pay
sufficient attention TO the practical fea-
tures of religion. They expound theo-
logical dogmas; they grow eloquent over
points OF doctrinal belief; they boldly de-
fend the ground of their faith; they in
dulge In piotis sentimentalsm they elab-
orate the mysteries of Christianity; they
appeal To enthusiasm or try to produce ex-
element they attack scientific skopti-
cism they labor over the prophecies; and
they struggle TO Interpret things that are
beyond the human understanding. Some
of them, i'm doing these things, omit the
weightier matters of the law, which the
Founder of Christianity impressed upon
his disciples.
1t Is TO these matters that THE SUN has
sought to call attention, in speaking of
religious questions. We are anxious to
have them taken up by the whole body of
the clergy Of every creed. The people of
this city need TO hear about them in season
aud out of season. They are far too neg
ligent of them, and do not understand
their Importance, rs n fundamental por-
ton of religion. We are fain 20 believe
that the power of these weightier matters
would be manifested as II has never yet
been, If they were made the subject of
weekly discourse in all the ass churches of
tbs city, during the Sundays of the pres
ent year.
